Inside the Mercenary Guild lobby.

"It's still early, if you go shopping first, then go, I won't go, and when the time comes, just go directly to the meeting point outside the town that I said before, tsk...... This wheat wine is indeed good......" Bowen was on the table, holding a flask in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right hand, and he ate it with a clatter, without the slightest hint of the demeanor of a prince in the palace before.

"What's the deal with this shabby town...... Ciel whispered to herself as she sat down in her chair, but she wasn't finished yet......

"I want to check it out!" Tong Xi smiled.

"Okay, I'll go with you, I'm still very familiar with Batu Town, my dad used to bring me here to buy things, and the things here are indeed cheaper than the imperial capital......" Wayne smiled.

"Where are you going? Let's take advantage of this free time to solve the problem, and then we won't have a chance to go to the dangerous Warcraft Forest. Brooke interrupted Vayne.

"You...... Hum! I don't have time to mess with you right now! Wayne glanced in Tong Xi's direction, turned his head and snorted coldly at Brooke.

"Go ahead, with me here, Xiaoxi will be handed over to me." Andrea laughed.

"It's all about starting with the main point, after all, the next thing you have to face is an unknown danger, you must always maintain the best condition, it's not good to get injured, stop at the point." Tong Xi just reminded with a smile, and didn't seem to stop the two.

"Alright, let's go." Without waiting for everyone to react, he put his hands on the chair and prepared to jump to the ground and set off.

It's just that before Tong Xi could exert his strength, he felt a lightness on his body, and he was held in Andrea's arms again.

"Then let's go first." Andrea walked towards the exit gate with Tong Xi in her arms.

Ciel just turned her head to look at Berwen, who was still drinking and eating by herself, and pulled her legs to catch up with Andrea, who had already walked away......

The town of Batu is very lively, and the streets are no less lively than those in the imperial capital.

But this is also a matter of course, after all, there are as many shops in the imperial capital, so there are as many "suppliers", and most of the street stalls at this time are those loot that the mercenaries in the past sold unused.

So if you're feeling at ease, it's easy to find some great value for money by strolling around these stalls.

Of course, if you want to find value-for-money things in this kind of stall, you must first have a certain amount of knowledge, that is to say, you must first "know the goods", and if you don't "know the goods", you will not only not be able to take advantage of them, but you may also be deceived.

However, of course, this kind of problem is not what Tong Xi is worried about, but Tong Xi, who has all the theoretical knowledge of the "encyclopedia" left by His Majesty Austin I, who is a "generalist", basically no one can deceive her.

Because the stalls in this town are the trophies of mercenaries from all over the world, it is easy to find some strange and rare things, and some precious materials can also be found, and they are also cheap.

As I said before, although Tong Xi can already be regarded as the strongest alchemy master in the world, he is forced to have no materials at hand, and many potions cannot be made.

I don't know why, the alchemy knowledge in this world seems to be seriously missing a part, and in the "Encyclopedia of Pharmacy Formulas" that Tong Xi easily got from the Pharmacists Guild as a child, the potions recorded in the "Encyclopedia of Pharmacy Formulas" are less than half of the "encyclopedia" left by Austin I!

Even if you count some potion masters, some high-grade potion recipes are not published in the "Encyclopedia of Potion Recipes", but it is impossible to differ so much from the number of allotments left by His Majesty I!

Tong Xi even suspected that the history of this world had been tampered with, and there was once an activity similar to "book burning and pit Confucianism" in a certain dynasty, which would lead to a large loss of pharmacist culture!

How else can it be explained that the standard of pharmacists today is generally much lower than that described in Austin I's book? How else to explain that more than half of the potion recipes have disappeared and are not recorded?

Today's pharmacists are even pitiful enough to only refine "recovery potions"!

Nowadays, the potion materials that can be easily bought on the market can only be used to make up the "recovery potion", and some precious materials and technologies will not be recognized by anyone on the roadside! No one will collect it!

Because this strange-looking "weed" can't refine recovery potions, what's the use of coming......

Of course, this is just an exaggeration, although the medicine culture on the mainland has been lost, it is not enough to only refine the recovery potion......

Really precious materials will not really grow on the side of the road, even if they grow on the side of the road without a certain amount of knowledge, they will not be collected, such as some materials need to be dug out together with the soil to preserve, some medicines need to be refrigerated, and so on......

So now this situation has led to Tong Xi, who knows how to refine thousands of medicines, but he can't find the materials, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice......

Well...... You can't buy it in the trading market and pharmacy stores in the imperial capital, but this kind of stall can be easily bought.

And it can be bought very cheaply, some mercenaries are about to arrive in the city and arrive at the market, if they can carry more things and have no time to hunt some magical beasts, they will simply pull a bunch of strange flowers and plants in the depths of the forest, or even cut off a branch to bring back, in short, they will not return empty-handed, maybe these strange weeds have the pharmacist to ask for it? It doesn't take much effort to bring it back, so it's rare to take a trip......

So at these stalls, some of the potion materials are even sold in bundles......

That's right...... Sold in bundles...... It's like selling Chinese cabbage......

For the mercenaries, these "weeds" are pulled from the ground casually, and they don't need to fight with the monsters, so it doesn't take much effort at all.

So when Tong Xi opened his mouth to say a bundle of gold coins, the mercenaries enthusiastically explained the bundle of potions, and then put them in bags.

Nonsense! Even if you really restore the potion materials, it's about the same price! Don't look at this bundle is a lot, there are all kinds of weeds on it! Look at that little girl, it's a rich lady who came out with a maid to wander around!

While the mercenaries were counting the gold coins, Tong Xi also instructed Andrea to carry an oversized backpack given by an "enthusiastic" stall owner, which of course contained the "weeds" she had just bought.

Holding Tong Xi in front, Andrea is carrying a backpack taller than herself behind her back, but her face is not red and she is not panting, but this is normal, although Andrea is not the kind of martial artist who is good at strength, but she is also a sixth-level martial artist, carrying this thing, plus a very light Tong Xi, it is really not too easy.
