Chapter 21: Little Red Fruit
In the boys' dormitory, Oscar excitedly talked to Tang San about what soul beast he should choose, and by the way, he also popularized the knowledge of the Star Dou Great Forest to Tang San, a soil bun who had never seen the world.
Soto City.
Blade got out of the carriage, and the owner of the carriage was a middle-aged man from the village, pulling a cart of goods to enter the city, and happened to run into Blade, who was about to enter the city.
is also enthusiastic, not only took the initiative to invite Blade to get on the car Blade, but after a few words of conversation, he smiled and wanted to introduce his daughter Xiaocui to BladeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Blade politely refused.
Say goodbye to the middle-aged man and leave.
The middle-aged man looked at the background of the blade drifting away and sighed: "What a good young man, it's a pityΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"Drive!"
Blade entered the city mainly to purchase some strategic supplies.
Some food that can be stored for a long time, pills that can save lives at critical moments, special herbs that may be put in handy, a few spare swords (his only complaint about the blade is that it emits a sacred white glow that attracts the attention of his enemies), a few spare clothes, some spices or something.
It takes some time to prepare these.
It's a lot of traffic.
Today, Blade is much more relaxed than last time, and after reading more books, he understands the world more, and his fear of the unknown naturally fades.
It's just that those surprise, fanatical, admiring, disgusting, and jealous eyes along the way still make him feel uncomfortable.
How about a mask? If you think about it, you won't see anyone wearing a mask along the way, so you might be caught as a suspicious person and thrown into a small black room.
Walked into a weapons shop.
There were only two guests, both in front of the shelves where daggers and daggers were placed. The two of them felt that someone was coming in, Qi Qi looked back, and opened his mouth slightly, what a beautiful young man!
There was an old man who was asleep behind the counter with his back against the Taishi's chair.
Blade nodded to the two of them and walked to the sword shelf.
The forging is also excellent, but unfortunately it is made of ordinary materials, how good can it be? Of course, Blade didn't plan to buy any magic weapons, he really couldn't afford them.
There are three swords that look pretty average that attract the attention of the blade, and they are different.
He picked out three swords, walked over to the counter and placed them on top.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, looking at the three swords, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said lightly: "Add up to one hundred gold soul coins, and if the price is not suitable, put them back in place." β
The two guests heard and looked over.
This old man lion opens his mouth wide!
One hundred gold soul coin blades can still be taken out.
Take out a hundred gold coins and put them on the counter.
Blade looked at the old man and smiled, "You check." β
Without a hint of hesitation.
The old man casually threw the soul coin into the cabinet, waved his hand and said, "Take it." β
Blade smiled and put away his sword.
The old man watched him leave, then slowly closed his eyes with his back back to the Taishi chair, and muttered: "Although it is a casual work, it is not something that can be obtained at this price, it is cheap for this kid." β
The two people in the store looked at each other.
β¦β¦
Blade held a sword in his hand and stroked it, the forging level of this sword is extremely high, and it can be said that it is lucky to be able to get it at this price.
The most unpretentious appearance, not a sharp edge, has no bright spots to speak of, but this is an extremely tough sword, which is very suitable for hard-to-face combat.
However, I am afraid that it will not be his usual weapon in battle in the future, because his martial soul is originally a sword.
It's a pity that it will glow.
This really gave him a headache, and he didn't dare to summon it when he was ambushed and attacked.
He felt that there would be a way to solve it as his soul power increased.
But it's still far away.
Blade smiled: "Old man, there is a price to be paid for playing in the world. β
Putting away his sword, he still had a lot to buy.
Emerging from the drugstore, Blade asked pedestrians if there were any nearby places where they could buy inexpensive herbs.
After being pointed out by pedestrians, Blade came to a small street, which was not a big place, but it was very lively.
There are mainly small vendors here, and there are not many stalls with goods, but the quality is obviously higher than that of the pharmacy just now. Listening to the sound of selling and bargaining, the price is much lower than that of the pharmacy.
The owner of the stall is mostly a medicine people who make a living by picking medicines, originally most of them don't want to be like this, if someone buys, and the price is reasonable, no one wants to sell here slowly, although the smooth sale can be higher profits, but the time cost is not low, many times a guard is a whole day, and it may not be able to get rid of things.
But if you don't do this, it's okay to use ordinary herbs, cheaper and cheaper, just to get food and clothing.
But when it comes to good medicinal materials, it won't work, those profiteers are too ruthless in lowering prices, and it's like giving them away for nothing.
Those pharmacists seemed to have reached some agreement secretly, and none of them were willing to let go.
How could the herbs that were obtained at the risk of their lives be so cheap for those vampires?!
That was a long time ago.
In desperation, the act of resistance created this small street. After a long time, if there are good herbs, people will subconsciously choose to sell here.
Some herb dealers will also secretly send people here to purchase.
These blades didn't know very well, and he didn't want to know about them, he was just here to buy medicine.
Pedestrians see how many of them are bright-eyed.
After all, suddenly seeing a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, especially if he is so beautiful, always gives people a pleasing feeling.
And most of the people who walk here are people in their thirties, and the average young person who has nothing to do here?
Blade ignored the gaze. There was something from a stall that caught his eye, a fruit that looked like it was average.
Walk over to the stall and crouch down.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man who has suffered a leg injury.
His eyes lit up when he saw the blade crouching, he hadn't seen such a beautiful boy here, uh, he hadn't seen it if he wasn't here.
Blade picked up a few herbs and asked the price, but it wasn't expensive, pointing to the red fruit.
"Ten Golden Soul Coins."
This is definitely not a low price, after all, the price of other herbs is no more than three silver coins, and it will be lower if you talk about bargaining.
Before the blade could speak, a middle-aged man next to him scolded with a smile: "Old Meng, how many times have you been, you still offer such a high price, how can you sell it!" Are you going to keep it for the holidays? β
The man with the injured leg glared at him: "Lao Li, you know a fart, Lao Tzu almost took his life to save it!" That soul beast chased after me like crazy, doesn't that mean that this little fruit is extraordinary? β
"Alright, alright, you can greet this young man first."
The middle-aged man next to him said with a smile.
Blade smiled, is this singing a double reed for me?
I thought I could pick up a leak, but unfortunately, people are not stupid.
Blade shook his head, ready to get straight to the point.
This person is very determined, and it is impossible to win it with Silver Soul Coin or something. Actually, you can, but it's a waste of time. There's really no need to be in a bad mood just to save a few gold soul coins.
"This fruit is indeed not ordinary, but ten gold soul coins are too expensive, it is worth four gold soul coins at most"
The stall owner reacted instantly, this young man's purpose is this fruit! The price of the herbs just now was just to confuse yourself!
Attaboy!
He looked at the blade and sighed, "The afterlife is terrifying! β
If I hadn't realized the extraordinariness of this little fruit, maybe I would have been picked up by this young man!
"Young man, this little fruit is not as cheap as you say, and I almost took my life for it? You don't know what that soul beast looks like, if it's less than nine gold soul coins, I won't agree. β
β¦β¦
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
Blade counted his steps.
"Young man! Come back! Come back! Six Golden Soul Coins are six! What can't be said well! Come back first! β
Blade stopped and laughed.
This voice attracted the attention of many people, and people looked at the stall owner and Blade struggling to stand up in amazement, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
"Six Golden Soul Coins? Big deal! β
"Isn't that Lao Li? Could it be that his little fruit was bought by this young man? β
"That's not right, isn't this guy Lao Li telling him to die without ten gold soul coins?"
"That's not it, I also gambled on a drug oath at the time, I remember it seemed to say that if he didn't sell ten gold soul coins, he would go to the tofu shop next door to buy a piece of tofu and die here!"
"That's really a baby, isn't it? Six Golden Soul Coins? My goodness. β
"Can this future life force Lao Li to this extent?"
It seems that they are all acquaintances, and it sounds like this little fruit is quite famous here.
Blade walked back with a smile.
Lao Li looked at the blade with a complicated face, and said helplessly: "Young man, you won." β
Blade smiled and said, "Aren't you going to use this little fruit to make soup?" β
The old Meng next to him sneered, I couldn't help it, this kid is interesting! I can't help but think of what Lao Li just said:
"Seven Golden Soul Coins! Couldn't be less! If it's less than that, I'll take it home and make soup and drink it! Why suffer this sin! β
The young man grinded a few more times, Lao Li said this, and then the young man sighed helplessly, got up and left.
Lao Li couldn't hold his breath first.
"The soup of six golden soul coins, my old Li doesn't have that life to enjoy." Lao Li picked up the small fruit and handed it over, and laughed at himself.
Blade handed over the six Golden Soul Coins to Lao Li, took the fruit at the same time, and then said to Lao Li:
"To be honest, you made and lost money on this trade, but in general you made it."
Lao Li became interested: "Young man, tell me the truth." β
Blade smiled and said, "I don't know what this fruit is, but it contains a special kind of blood qi, which is a great supplement for both people and soul beasts, which is probably the reason why that soul beast is chasing you to the death." β
Lao Li came to his senses.
"If you really want to say it, it should be worth thirty or forty gold soul coins when you first got it."
Lao Li's eyes widened, but there was no reason to come back after the goods were sold, so he had to sigh: "Let your young man pick it up." β
Blade shook his head and continued, "When you first got your hand, it was worth thirty or forty gold soul coins, but unfortunately, because it was not stored in a jade box or other box that could prevent the loss of medicinal effect, it has lost nearly half of its medicinal effect so far. β
Blade looked at Lao Li and said with a smile: "Looking at the speed of medicinal property loss, if you put it like this, you don't have to wait until tomorrow, you can take it to make soup in the middle of the night, rest assured to drink, it's not worth a few copper coins." β
Lao Li heard the last cold sweat: "I'll be obedient." β
Blade smiled: "So I said that you have made money in general, if you leave it for a long time, no one will ask for it, even if you meet someone who knows the goods, what are you going to do with a fruit that has lost its medicinal power?" β
Lao Li's face was a little complicated, but he was a kind person in this later life.
He reacted, looked at the fruit and hurriedly said, "Young man, then you don't save it quickly, how much medicinal power will flow away in this time of speaking!" β
Blade smiled, "I used my soul power to lock the medicinal power, otherwise I wouldn't dare to keep talking about it in this crackle." β
Blade suddenly squatted down and looked up and said, "Do you feel afraid?" I also want to buy some other herbs from you, if you want to feel scared, I will just open a fair price, it is too tiring to talk to your old man. β
Lao Li was stunned, no wonder this kid said so much, it turned out to be for this!
Lao Meng next to him said: "Lao Li, it's a big deal, how can there be any reason?" β
Lao Li squatted down and said heroically: "For the sake of your young man's kindness, I will give you a seven-fold discount!" β
"Wrap them all up."
"Huh?"
"I want them all."
"Wait, boy, that, I just said it's an eight-fold ......"
β¦β¦
After purchasing enough herbs, the blade left, and did not pick up any more leaks.
After all, there are ordinary people here, and it is difficult to find truly precious medicinal herbs.
Blade found that he had read too little on this trip. I thought that after reading a book about medicinal herbs, there would be no big problems. I'm arrogant, and I've bought a lot of herbs, but I really don't know what they do.
I'm going to make up for it when I go back.
And then it went well.
It's noon when the purchase is finished.
I remember that there is a noodle restaurant in front of me, so let's eat a bowl of noodles.
"You're here again, young man!"
The busy uncle looked up and beckoned.
Blade was a little surprised, then smiled, "I didn't expect you to remember me." β
The uncle put the noodles on the tray on the side, wiped the sweat with the towel hanging aside, and said with a smile:
"I can't forget, a beautiful and polite young man like you is unforgettable!"
Blade smiled, "This time it's two bowls of signature noodles." β
"Okay!"
Blade walked in and sat down early, there were quite a few people.
A few noodle-eating girls secretly looked at the blade, but the blade didn't see it.
The proprietress came over with two bowls of noodles.
"Young man, you want a signboard."
Blade laughed, "Trouble. β
β¦β¦
"Next time, boy!"
"Definitely."
It's almost time to go back.
