When I arrived in Jiuyang City, I smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine from afar.

"What herbs does Master Ye want to buy? Ginseng, astragalus, rhodiola, ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, angelica, longan meat, etc., there should be there here. Zhang Banxian bent down slightly, and said respectfully while leading the way.

"It doesn't matter what kind of year, the older the better." Ye Chen said lightly.

In Ye Chen's opinion, these medicinal materials on the earth are almost the same, and only medicinal materials that are old enough can be used.

Zhang Banxian was stunned, Chinese medicine is not like in the movie, what thousand-year-old ginseng and 10,000-year-old snow lotus are the best. The main thing to pay attention to is the collocation, the monarch and the minister, if you blindly take heavy medicine, it will be too much.

However, he didn't dare to argue, what kind of person Master Ye was, since he said so, he naturally had his reasons.

"If you want to talk about the medicinal materials of the old year, there are only a few time-honored medicine halls that are estimated to store some." Zhang Banxian pondered slightly, and then said, "Master Ye, please come with me." ”

He seemed to be very familiar with this Jiuyang City, and soon led the two of them to the door of a grand medicine hall.

"Hundred Medicine Hall!"

"Although Jiuyang City is known as the capital of medicine and has a huge market for traditional Chinese medicine, it is monopolized by several major families in the final analysis. This Baiyaotang is one of the ones opened, with a history of nearly 300 years, and it is a time-honored brand in Yanxia. Zhang Banxian introduced.

The three of them walked in, and a staff member had already come up to ask a few people what they wanted to buy.

Ordinary medicine dealers must have gone to the wholesale market, and those who can come to Baiyaotang are either looking for a doctor or buying some precious medicinal materials.

"Call your master."

Don't look at Master Zhang bending over and bending his knees in front of Ye Chen, but in the face of a small clerk, he immediately raised his toes again.

"Sir?"

The clerk was slightly stunned.

In a time-honored brand like Baiyaotang, the highest status is often not the manager, but the master of the town store. These masters are all well-known old Chinese medicine doctors, treasures of the town store, and they can speak well on the side of the big boss, and their weight is far higher than that of the manager.

"Old man Zhang Banxian." Master Zhang held his long beard in his hand and said proudly.

"Okay, please wait."

Although the clerk was puzzled, he saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, so he went to the backstage to find the master.

Ye Chen and the others sat down, and other staff members had already served fragrant tea, and they didn't wait long before a burst of scattered footsteps came quickly. From the backstage, an old Chinese medicine doctor over sixty years old with a white beard walked out.

"Oh, it turned out to be Master Zhang in person, you are here, why don't you talk to the head of our family." The old Chinese medicine doctor stepped forward a few steps and said respectfully.

Seeing the suspicious eyes of Ah Man and the clerks, Master Zhang smiled proudly.

He may be unknown in Nanjiang, but when he arrives in Zhongzhou Province, he Master Zhang is also one of the few masters, and I don't know how many dignitaries and dignitaries treat him as a guest.

However, seeing Ye Chen's smiling expression, Master Zhang trembled and hurriedly asked about the matter.

"I'm the ...... Little brother, I want to buy some old precious Chinese medicine from you, do you still have it? ”

"This ......" the master hesitated for a moment, and his face was embarrassed: "Don't hide it from the master, recently a young lady has just swept away the medicinal materials of the entire Jiuyang City's time-honored town stores, and now I don't want to talk about the ginseng and precious medicine that is more than 100 years old, even if it is 50 years old, there are few of them." ”

"Oh, who is it, so generous?" Master Zhang wondered.

You must know that in the market, the old ginseng that is more than 100 years old is sold by the gram. Each gram is worth more than tens of thousands, and a nearly 100-gram is millions.

There are more or less several copies of these town store drugs in each store, and now they have all been swept away, how much does it cost!

"It is said that she is a young lady from a big family on Hongdao, and we don't know much about the specific situation." The old master shook his head.

Seeing this, Master Zhang looked at Ye Chen in embarrassment.

Ye Chen frowned: "Could it be that in the huge city of Jiuyang City, a piece of long-standing medicinal materials is gone?" ”

"If you want to say anything, of course there is." The old master hesitated for a moment, looked at Master Zhang and said, "Master, have you heard of the 'Precious Chinese Medicine Auction'?" ”

"You mean the rumored underground auction?" Master Zhang said lightly.

"Yes, the auction, which takes place every few months. There are many precious Chinese medicines collected directly from the hands of medicine farmers and mountain medicine pickers, many of which are more than 100 years old and do not flow into the market, and many merchants and wealthy people in this area are directly invited to auction on the spot and pay off on the spot. Master said in a low voice.

This kind of auction, which is obviously privately organized, is not visible.

First of all, the origin of medicinal materials and so on, it is not clear, at least one-third of the visitors who die in Changbai Mountain every year are man-made disasters.

"When does it start?" Ye Chen didn't care about the unknown origin at all, he just needed enough and good enough medicinal materials to allow him to impact the higher realms.

"Three days later, at seven o'clock in the evening, the venue was at the 'Qinghu Manor' on the outskirts of the city." The master lowered his voice and whispered.

"Okay." Ye Chen got up, and Master Zhang hurriedly stood up when he saw this, and thanked the master master.

After a few people left the Hundred Medicine Hall, they found a place to stay.

……

Three days later.

Ye Chen and the others took a taxi to the gate of Qinghu Manor and found that it was heavily guarded, and there was a circle of security guards standing in front of the door.

"I'm sorry, this is a private place, if you don't have an invitation, please go back!" A security guard stepped forward and said unceremoniously.

"We don't have invitations." Master Zhang said lightly: "As soon as you report it, you will say that Zhang Banxian of the Eastern Capital came to pay a visit." ”

Seeing that he looked like a fairy, the security guard couldn't help but hesitate, could it really be a big man?

At this time, a black car stopped at the door, and a chubby middle-aged man walked out. When the man saw Master Zhang, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he walked up quickly and said in surprise: "Master Zhang, why are you here?" Isn't it rumored that you went to Nanjiang? ”

"Ahem, it turned out to be Boss Hu." When Master Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but blush slightly.

He was originally going to go to Nanjiang to do a good job and raise his reputation, but the first pass was planted in Ye Chen's hands, how could he be embarrassed to mention this, and quickly changed the topic and said: "You also come to participate in the auction of medicinal materials?" Just dip your light and take us in. ”

"That's my light with Master Zhang, and I'll have to ask Master Zhang to help me with more palm eyes when the time comes." Boss Hu didn't dare to say anything.

The things in this medicinal herb auction are not known to come from, so there are real and fake, and the organizer is not responsible at all, only relying on personal eyesight.

And although Master Zhang is not a master of traditional Chinese medicine, he is famous in Zhongzhou, and he dares to sell his fakes, but it does not exist.

Since the security guards know each other, they will not stop them.

The group entered Qinghu Manor and found that the manor area was very large, and under the leadership of Yingbin, they turned around and finally entered a remote courtyard.

There was already a group of people waiting in the small courtyard, looking at all the dresses, they were all extraordinary, obviously they were all rich people or pharmacists from Zhongzhou and even all over the country.

"Master Zhang, are you here too?"

"Hello Master Zhang."

"Master Zhang, your body is healthy!"

As soon as Ye Chen and the others walked into the small courtyard, many people seemed to recognize Zhang Banxian's identity and stepped forward to greet him warmly.

There are people who don't know who are still confused, and the people next to them hurriedly introduced to them, this is Master Zhang of the famous Yuanbo in the eastern capital of Zhongzhou, who is known as being able to repel ghosts and exorcise gods, and has the ability to exorcise ghosts and kill people.

Ye Chen was a little funny, he didn't expect that this Master Zhang, who had extremely soft bones and knelt down and begged for mercy at every turn, had such a great reputation in Zhongzhou.

He was thinking about it when suddenly a cold snort was heard.

"What Master Zhang, just pretending to be a ghost."

Zhang Banxian's face sank, and when he heard the words, he looked over, and saw another group of people walking into the courtyard, and it was a woman who was the leader who spoke.

The woman was tall and tall, with a face as sharp as marble, and she looked like a mulatto, her chin raised and a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"This is the eldest lady of the Zheng family in Hongdao." Boss Hu next to him hurriedly whispered.

Recently, she swept the entire traditional Chinese medicine market in Jiuyang City, and basically all the medicinal materials of the year were swept away by her. It is said that the old man in the family is too old, and his life is not long, so he needs a miracle medicine to prolong his life. ”

"Hongdao Zheng family?" When Master Zhang heard this, his eyes shrank.
