Book 1: The Demon Prince Chapter 20: Buying and Selling Medicinal Materials
Blue Mountain City, the second largest city in the Northern Sealing Realm, is ruled by the four nearby demon clans, adjacent to deserts, swamps and jungles, rich in medicinal herb resources, and extremely prosperous.
Yeyang had planned to come to this city before, but on the way, he accidentally diverted to Huaguo Mountain, and now he set off again, walked for hundreds of miles, and reached here again.
Nanshan City covers an area of dozens of square kilometers, a little larger than the island where Yeyang cultivated at the beginning, the city is very lively, all kinds of demon clans shuttle through it, many human races are also mixed, as for the god clan, it is difficult to see a trace.
In the Northern Seal Realm, there are very few demon races that can completely transform into shapes, most of them have some racial characteristics, some have two horns on their heads, some have a long tail, and some have long hairs on their faces.
Others don't seem to have any problems on the surface, but once you speak, you will find that his mouth full of fangs or a long, curly tongue is less than one percent of them that are truly fully transformed.
Outside the Blue Mountain City is a large wilderness, so the architectural style of the Blue Mountain City is relatively coarse, with large square boulders surrounding a high wall, and a rough formation is carved, which has become a city wall that can resist the attack of the Refining Body Realm.
There are also many tea sheds for pedestrians to rest outside the city, and under an ordinary tea shed, there are two people, a wolf boy with a sharp tail and fangs and three fox tails, and a deer girl with horns on her head and a little wolf cub in her arms.
"This is Nanshan Castle, it doesn't look good, I hope there is something I want. The boy raised his head, glanced at the giant city in the distance with a strange gaze, and muttered.
"Childe, don't worry, I heard that this Blue Mountain City is the place with the most medicinal herbs in the Northern Seal Realm, and there will definitely be the herbs you want. The girl smiled sweetly and spoke.
"I hope so, too. The boy smiled and touched the girl's hair.
These two people are naturally Yeyang and Shanshan, after entering the Yuan Dan realm, he also initially awakened the bloodline, although it has no practical effect, but it is not a problem to incarnate into the demon clan.
As he spoke, the two men got up and left the teahouse, and entered the city after paying two taels of gold at the city gate.
In the Blue Mountain City, shops are distributed vertically and horizontally, and all kinds of human races and demons walk in them, and all kinds of shouting and shouting come and go.
"Cooking cakes, fragrant and sweet cooking cakes!"
"Rock sugar gourd, a rock sugar gourd made of high-quality hawthorn, is rich in energy, delicious and affordable. ”
"The barren bird egg, the hatched second-grade barren bird, is equivalent to a foundation-building realm thug, only ten taels of gold!"
After more than 30 years of practicing on an isolated island, I really can't get used to coming to such a prosperous place all of a sudden.
Shanshan has lived in the mountains since she was a child, and she has never seen much of the world, and she is also very curious about all kinds of new things, and with curiosity, the two quickly integrated into the lively market.
Anyway, there was no rush to buy herbs, Yeyang simply took Shanshan to wander around the city first, buying delicious snacks and beautiful clothes, and at the same time looking for treasures that were more than a hundred years old.
After wandering around happily for two hours, the two began to become sad, and in the crowd, Yeyang walked with a bitter face: "There are quite a lot of medicinal herbs in this place, but there are very few treasures that are more than a hundred years old. ”
"Childe, don't worry, you'll find it if you look slowly. Sansa took his hand and comforted, but there was no obvious uncertainty in her tone.
"Two friends, welcome to Nanshan City, do you need any help?" Just when the two of them were discouraged, a voice suddenly sounded from their side.
The two looked up and saw a man with a thief's eyebrows standing not far away, grinning with big teeth.
Yeyang frowned, judging from his face, this person really didn't look like a good person: "Who are you?"
"The little one is called Daosheng, he is an idler in this Blue Mountain City, he knows all the places in the city well, and his friends can ask me any questions, but it just costs a little bit of extraneous things. He stretched out his index finger and rubbed his thumb together, making a gesture familiar to passers-by.
The so-called idlers, that is, the idlers in the city, who have low strength, live at the bottom, and take sundries such as leading the way as their source of livelihood.
Yeyang showed a look of enlightenment, took out a gold ingot of ten taels at will, and threw it to the thief: "Okay, as long as you lead the way, I still have a reward." ”
"Okay, on the familiarity with this place, I steal the victory and say the second, no one has called the first, Childe can rest assured, I don't know where Childe is going. Thief Sheng accepted the gold nuggets, smiled even more, and hurriedly said.
"Is there any pharmacy in this city that has a large number of medicinal herbs that are more than 100 years old?" Yeyang asked.
"Blue Mountain City is originally dominated by medicinal herbs, but there are relatively few medicinal materials that are more than 100 years old. ”
Thief Sheng frowned, lowered his head and thought, and then his eyes lit up: "By the way, there really is such a place, but the price is one or two percent more expensive than other places." ”
"Is there really such a place?" Yeyang Yixi, a hundred-year-old treasure medicine, is an important resource for the major demon clans, he just asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that there was really a place, so he spoke: "Money is not a problem, you take me there." ”
After killing so many gods in the North Seal Realm, Yeyang also obtained a lot of property, before he took all these things to the store and pawned them, in addition to the consumption in the city, there are more than 24,000 gold on his body, and it should be enough to buy the herbs of the Qingxin Pill.
In the demon world, the veins of Yuanjing Demon Crystal are very rich, and most of the currencies used in transactions are demon crystals, but in the North Seal Realm, resources are scarce, and people with demon crystals and Yuanjing are used as treasure collections, or they are directly used, where can they be used as currency, so the most common currency is still gold, silver and copper.
As he led the way, he introduced the two of them to the various interesting attractions in the Blue Mountains City, and walked through half of the market to an ordinary shop.
The door of the store was ajar, a cloth sail was hung high, and the word "medicine" was written, which seemed to have taken a long time and looked a little shabby.
"This is it, go in first, and the little one is waiting for you outside. ”
"Won't you go in with us?" Yeyang frowned, not believing that there would be medicinal herbs in this place that were more than a hundred years old, and doubting the credibility of this person's words.
Dao Sheng smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "I also want to, but only cultivators above the Foundation Realm are qualified to enter this place, and the small ones are only in the Body Refining Realm." ”
"Oh, there are so many rules in this broken place?" Yeyang was a little surprised, then nodded, pushed open the quaint wooden door, and walked into the shop with Shanshan.
A coercion hit him, but it was just swept away, Yeyang's face was as usual, but Shanshan was a little pale.
Completely different from the ordinary outside, the utensils in the shop are all high-quality, and the counter made of rosewood is filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs, the most of which are more than fifty years old.
The square wooden plaque is regularly engraved with the name, year and price of each herb.
Qingling grass, sixty-eight years, the price is eight hundred gold.
Mingyan flower, ninety servings, the price is 1,700 gold.
Avatar orchid, one hundred and five years old, the price is two thousand four hundred gold.
The lunar moon fruit, one hundred and twenty years, the price is three thousand three hundred gold.
"I'll go, it's so expensive......" Yeyang was taken aback by this price, the herbs for a hundred years were basically more than two thousand gold, and with his current assets, there were only enough to buy a dozen plants in total.
The medicinal materials needed for a furnace of Qingxin Pill require four hundred-year-old herbs, and the number of Cheng Dan in one furnace is about five.
With Yeyang's current state, the effect of a Pure Heart Pill is barely enough for him to clear the anger brought by devouring a low-level powerhouse in the Yuan Dan Realm, and the energy he needs to upgrade now is at least two Yuan Dan Realms of the same level, and if he wants to impact the Demon King Realm, he needs at least fifty Pure Heart Pills.
"Ahem...... coughed dryly, pulling Yeyang's gaze back, and he noticed that there was still an old man sitting at the counter.
The old man was tall and thin, with two long white eyebrows, and his whole body, from his hair to his boots, was all white, no different from an ordinary old man.
It's okay to say that he is a human race, but the demonic aura emanating from his body clearly shows that he is a demon race.
The old man looked at the two of them with sharp eyes, and said: "If you like something, you will pay directly, our store will not bargain, do not pay on credit, and if you make trouble, you will bear the consequences." ”
Seeing this old man, Yeyang's face changed suddenly, strong, absolutely strong, this old man's cultivation can be said to be unfathomable for his current self, Yeyang has a premonition, even if he is in his heyday, he is not his opponent, this is a terrible demon king.
Yeyang immediately put away his contempt, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "I've seen my seniors, may I ask my seniors if I can collect treasures here?"
"Treasures?" The white-eyed old man sneered when he heard Yeyang's words: "Except for medicinal materials, the old man is not interested in any treasures. ”
"What if it's Yuanjing?" Yeyang said, pulling out a fist-sized white round crystal from his arms.
He excavated a total of five Yuan Crystals in the Northern Seal Realm, used one for himself, and gave one to Shanshan, and now there are three left, which is the largest of them.
The preciousness of Yuan Jing can be used even by the strong above the Demon King, but Yeyang found that it seems that since he practiced the Blood Devouring Technique, he has developed an invisible resistance to Yuan Jing, and the effect of improving cultivation is limited, so it can only be used to restore vitality.
Seeing this piece of Yuan Jing, the disdain of the white-eyed old man disappeared, and he took the Yuan Jing with bright eyes, and took it carefully with both hands, as if he was rubbing it against a treasure.
After looking at it for a long time, the old man's face returned to calm, checked it, put it on the table, picked up a cup of tea, looked at Yeyang, and said: "Weighing eight two three, seven into nine, not bad, boy, how do you sell this Yuan Jing?"
"One hundred thousand taels of gold, a fixed price. Yeyang said directly.
"100,000 taels, why don't you grab it, 70,000 yuan of this broken stone is considered 70,000 yuan!" The white-eyed old man almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, looking like he had seen a ghost.
"If I could rob you, I would have robbed you a long time ago. Yeyang scolded and pouted: "Senior, this Yuan Crystal is a rare thing, like such a big one, there are not many in the entire North Seal Realm, it is definitely worth the price!"
"Eighty thousand, at most eighty thousand will be given to you, if you want to sell it, you can sell it, and if you don't sell it, you will pull it down. The white-eyed old man blew his beard and glared, and said a lot of bad things, so he almost grabbed it directly.
Yeyang made a look of embarrassment, and hesitated: "Eighty thousand is not impossible, but I still have to buy a little material from the old-timers, is this price ......?"
"If you sell me this Yuan Jing for 80,000 gold, I will give you a 20% discount on all the medicinal materials you bought. The white-eyed old man said happily, and immediately put away Yuanjing, for fear that Yeyang would regret it, and said secretly in his heart: "Forgive me, this kid can't buy many medicinal materials." ”
"Okay, then it's a word, seniors, don't go back and bully the juniors to be honest. Yeyang said with a smile.
The white-eyed old man looked at Yeyang's smile, no matter how he looked at it, there was a taste of conspiracy, but when he said it, it was not good to regret it, so he nodded stubbornly: "It's certain, the old man will still lie to you as a junior?" Say, what medicinal herbs do you want." ”
"There are not many medicinal materials for the younger generation, five hundred-year-old Qingling grass, five hundred-year-old Xuanxin fruits, five hundred-year-old green wood branches, five hundred-year-old ice cold dew, well, that's all. Yeyang smiled and nodded.
"A hundred-year-old Qingling Grass is 2,300 taels of gold, and five plants are 11,500 taels; a hundred-year-old Xuanxin Fruit is 3,000 taels of gold and five are 15,000 taels; a 100-year-old Qingmu branch is 2,600 taels of gold and five are 13,000 taels; and a hundred-year-old Ice Cold Dew is 3,600 taels of gold, and five is 18,000 taels. ”
"These four medicinal herbs add up to 57,500 taels of gold, and after deducting 20%, that is, 46,000 taels of gold, there are 11,500 taels less at once, boy, you are too dark. The white-eyed old man quickly tapped the abacus, quickly calculated the price, and looked at Yeyang with indignant eyes.
"Senior, what you said is not right, but you said it yourself, and it has nothing to do with the juniors, not to mention, you still earned 20,000 taels in Yuanjing's trading, and you still earned more than 8,000. "Yeyang makes an innocent look.
"The seniors won't regret it, you're a famous man in the demon world, the seniors won't want to kill people and sell more goods, the juniors are low-spirited, but they are not your opponents. Yeyang took a step back, and the breath of the Yuan Dan Realm burst out.
The little wolf in Shanshan's arms also suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes looked at the white-eyed old man, exuding the aura of a third-grade ancient beast.
"This stinky boy. The white-eyed old man scolded secretly, his eyes swept over Yeyang and the little wolf, revealing a look of surprise, and the fists in his hands tightened and loosened, as if he was considering whether to make a move.
Seeing his frowning brows, Yeyang's face was also solemn, Shanshan pulled his arm, the little wolf's aura became stronger and stronger, and the hearts of several people hung at the same time.
