Chapter 172, Divine Pesticide Hall

"I don't know what medicinal herbs Master Ye wants to receive, Zhengzhong City is a famous medicine capital in China, and precious medicinal materials such as angelica, red ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and snow lotus are all produced," Yin Mang said respectfully beside Ye Chen.

Although monks use medicinal materials in their practice, each person's Taoism is different, and the medicinal materials they need are also different.

"It doesn't matter the type, as long as the year is long enough," Ye Chen said indifferently.

Yin Mang was stunned for a moment, ordinary monks borrowed the elixir to repair the torch, and they had strict requirements, emphasizing the most suitable collocation in order to achieve the effect. He asked

"Isn't Master Ye still a pharmacist?"

Only the alchemist can meet this situation, and the types of medicinal materials are not counted.

"Sort of," Ye Chen nodded.

Seeing that Master Ye didn't say much, he didn't want to ask too much, Master Ye was a grandmaster-level manpower, so he naturally had his reasons, he cleared his throat and said

"If you're only looking for old medicines, maybe those time-honored brands have some inventory."

"Okay, take me there," Ye Chen said.

Yin Mang seemed to be very familiar with the entire Zhengzhong City, and soon took Ye Chen to an antique and magnificent medicine hall, looking like that, it was at least a decades-old car.

"God Pesticide Hall"

"Although Zhengzhong City is known as the capital of medicine, in the final analysis, the medicinal material business is still monopolized in the hands of several major families, especially the old medicines that are in the hands of these families.

"But they are all fine business, and sometimes they are easy to be fooled" The reckless Taoist touched his head, obviously having been fooled in their hands before.

However, this is not a problem for Ye Chen, as long as he glances at any medicinal material, he can immediately see the depth.

"What kind of medicinal herbs do you want?" Seeing the two of them walk in, the waiter hurriedly greeted them, the guests who could come to their time-honored store were all distinguished guests, and they could not be measured by their clothing, many old Taoist priests were the big customers of the pharmacy. Because generally people who buy medicinal herbs go directly to the wholesale market, and only those who need precious medicinal materials will come here.

"Call the pharmacist of your shop", Ming Mang Daoist said in a deep voice, although he was respectful in front of Ye Chen, but in Xizhou City, he was still a well-known master.

"Sir, are you?" the waiter was stunned for a moment and quickly asked.

"The old Taoist is reckless" The reckless Taoist touched his beard and said proudly.

"Okay, sir, wait a minute"

The pharmacist is a master who specializes in the identification of medicinal materials in the medicine hall, and his status is even higher than that of the manager and store manager, and he is a famous person.

Although the waiter was puzzled, he didn't dare to slack off, and the people who called the pharmacist directly as soon as he came up were all big people with a bottom and face.

Ye Chen and the two found a place to sit down, and soon the waiter made tea on it.

After a while, a rush of footsteps came, and I saw the door of the inner hall open, and an old man with white hair and beard walked out, and from a distance, he could smell the smell of medicine emanating from his body.

"It turned out to be Master Liu's junior brother, Master Yin, who came, and the old man didn't have time to greet him, so please forgive him", the old man greeted him with a smile.

Although Yin Reckless is an evil cultivator, the evil he does is carried out secretly, and on weekdays, he is still the image of a master.

"Master Yin didn't let me know in advance when he came, my head of the family always misses you when you're old," the old man came up and said with a smile.

Yin Mang and Liu Yufeng's status in Xizhou is not low, they are usually guests of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but there are relatively few people who usually walk around outside, but there are still not a few people who know him.

Seeing Ye Chen's smiling expression, the reckless Taoist was shocked in his heart and hurriedly asked

"I'm the ...... My friend wants some old medicine, I don't know if you have it here."

"This ......" the old man hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master Yin, I won't tell you anything, the famous medicines in the town store in the small shop have all been bought, not only my shop, but also other time-honored brands, all of them have been swept away, not to mention the old medicines of the year, even the old ginseng of thirty or forty years, all of them are gone."

"What, who bought it?" the reckless Taoist was shocked.

You must know the price of precious Chinese medicinal materials, but they are all sold by the gram, now Cordyceps sinensis is hundreds of thousands of pounds, the old medicine of the year, a plant is millions, or even tens of millions are possible, usually this kind of medicinal materials will not be bought, it is the treasure of each town store, and now it is bought by someone at one time, how much does it cost, dozens of billions are not enough.

"I heard that it was a distinguished guest from the imperial capital, and it was personally received by the heads of each family, but the specific situation is unknown" The old man shook his head.

He glanced at Ye Chen embarrassedly and said, "Master Ye, what now?"

The first time Master Ye asked him to do something, he turned out to be a mess.

Ye Chen groaned for a while and said

"Could it be that there is not a single century-old medicine in the entire Zhengzhong City?"

The old man frowned and said

"There is nature to look for, but ......"

Ye Chen waved his hand, "But it's okay to say"

"I don't know if you two have heard of the black market auction of medicinal herbs?" the old man hesitated for a while, then said.

"Black market auction?" Yin Mang groaned, he had naturally heard of it, but he rarely used medicinal materials in his cultivation, so he didn't go.

When the old man saw this, he said.

"Yes, the black market auction is conducted secretly and is held every few months, but there is no guarantee for the medicinal materials circulating there, and there is no expert appraisal, it all depends on the strength of the eye. Many medicinal herbs are bought directly from the medicine farmers who collect medicines for the mid-term exam, and they will not enter the market, and many rich people will buy medicines on the black market."

The medicinal materials on this auction are naturally not guaranteed, and the money and goods are cleared when the goods are delivered, even if they are deceived, there is no place to complain, and there is nowhere to verify the origin of the medicinal materials.

"Oh, when will it start?" Ye Chen didn't care what the origin of these medicinal materials was, as long as they were useful for cultivation, it was enough to have good medicinal materials.

"It's ten o'clock tomorrow night, in the Baicao Hall," the old man lowered his voice.

"If you want to go, I'll give you two tickets," the old man took out two gold cards from his pocket.

It looks very exquisite, after all, the people who can enter the black market auction have a lot of status.

"Thank you very much," Yin recklessly stood up in thanks.

Ye Chen went directly to the Divine Pesticide Hall and walked out.

The two returned to the hotel and waited for the black market auction to arrive.

......

A day later, the thymes.

Baicaotang is located in the near effect, is a large mansion, the entrance station is a large number of black-clothed security guards, heavily guarded.

Ye Chen and the others got out of the car by taxi and were immediately stopped by the security guards.

"Both, this is a private auction, please ask if there is an invitation?"

Most of the people who came were driving luxury cars with personal bodyguards, but it seemed that Ye Chen and the two of them still came by taxi, so the security guards stopped the two without hesitation.
