Volume 1: The Boy Comes from the Mountains Chapter 137: The Trading Workshop
After a brief greeting, Zhang Wen arranged the best room in the store for Chenfeng and the others, and let a few people rest, without asking too much about anything.
In the spacious and bright wing, the four of them stood in a row, looking at the bright and clean scene in front of them. Once upon a time, not to mention the days of sleeping in the open in the past few months, it was before that, how could a few people have ever seen such a luxurious and comfortable living environment.
"This place is so good, I don't have to worry about being taken away by wolves if I sleep in a daze. Bai Zhuo's voice was a little dry, and he touched his face to break the silence.
Yao Ling'er cheered, ran over and climbed on the soft big bed without any image, with a look of enjoyment on her face. Hu Ying also kept turning her head to look at the furnishings in the room, her eyes full of curiosity.
Morrowind was no less shocked than anyone else, and constantly reorganized what he saw in front of him with the human world he knew from the book, but it seemed a little quiet on the surface.
The four of them originally had a room each, but because they were not familiar with the place, after experiencing the initial excitement, Hu Ying and Yao Ling'er had one room, and Chenfeng and Bai Zhuo had one room.
In two comfortable rooms, the two of them were silent.
"According to the eldest lady of the Ding family, this is just the most inconspicuous trading place, even so, there are so many people here, it is so prosperous, I really don't know what the situation of the imperial courtyard is. After Hu Ying and Yao Ling'er left, Bai Zhuo sat at the table and sighed leisurely, with a lot of emotion in his words.
Chenfeng looked at the scene in front of him in a trance, and finally left the mountain where he had lived for a long time after hardships, and came to the world of his dreams, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
After a night of silence, the four of them quickly fell asleep. It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that the morning breeze was woken up by a rapid knock on the door.
"Miss Ding?" Chen Feng squinted his eyes, and when he opened the door, he saw Ding Yaru standing at the door, and subconsciously asked.
Ding Yaru had already taken off her veil, revealing a smiling face that turned everyone upside down. She wore a pure white dress today, swaying in the wind like a lily in the morning light.
Ding Yaru saw that Chenfeng seemed to be blind to her new makeup, and there was a little bit of loss in her heart, but she quickly adjusted, so after a little silence, she smiled and said happily: "Let's go, let's go shopping together, maybe we can meet any treasures!"
"By the way, my father will be here this afternoon, and he will invite you to my house when the time comes. Ding Yaru didn't get an affirmative reply from Chenfeng, and she didn't know what Chenfeng was hesitating, so she hurriedly added.
"Oh, I don't know what good things are for sale in this trading shop?" Before Chenfeng could speak, Bai Zhuo's interested voice came from behind him.
Before the words fell, Bai Zhuo, who was already dressed neatly, had already come to Chenfeng's side, seemed to know Chenfeng's worries, patted Chenfeng's shoulder, and after squeezing his eyebrows, he faced Ding Yaru and asked politely: "Dare to ask Miss Ding, what are the good things in this trading shop?"
"Here, don't look at the place, but because of its proximity to Canglan Mountain, there are often many rare treasures, not to mention our monks in Xiliangzhou, even in other places in Dongtu, and people often come here to look for some special things. ”
"As for what exactly is, in addition to the conventional exercises, pills, and weapons, the most and most attractive thing here is naturally the things on the demon beasts, and the demon pills are also very common......"
Ding Yaru talked about it, and when she talked about the demon pill, she keenly noticed that Bai Zhuo's face seemed unnatural, so she immediately paused in recognition of each other.
Chenfeng naturally also discovered Bai Zhuo's abnormality, and also knew the identity of Bai Zhuo's demon clan, so he said roundly: "Okay, then let's go and have a look, Miss Ding, you wait for us below, and after a while, we will go out to have a look." ”
Ding Yaru had nothing to do, nodded with a smile and turned away, and kept slandering in her heart: "What is the identity of these people? Why do people always feel so strange?"
After closing the door, Chenfeng and Bai Zhuo glanced at each other, although both sides knew it, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little dull and dignified.
At this moment, Chenfeng faintly realized in his heart that how to gain a foothold in this prosperous world is the most important thing, after all, the road of cultivation is a road of no return to fight with people and the sky. You must not be fooled by everything in front of you, and you must remember your own pursuits and goals.
On the other side, although Bai Zhuo, who was taking care of himself and washing himself, also had similar thoughts, he was thinking more about how to not be excluded in the human world with his identity as a demon clan of the Fox Ying Demon Clan, whether to keep it hidden or find a way to win recognition.
Just when the two of them were thinking about each other and weighing the pros and cons alone, there was a knock at the door again, accompanied by Yao Ling'er's crisp frolic.
Morrowind opened the door and welcomed the two in, and then continued to pack up without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" Hu Ying was not as heartless as Yao Ling'er, and immediately discovered the mismatch between Chenfeng and Bai Zhuo, and asked with concern.
"That's ......" Morrowind sighed, repeating what had happened to Fang Cai in general, and said a lot of things that made a few people not take it lightly.
Listening to Chenfeng's words, Hu Ying frowned and nodded deeply, Bai Zhuo agreed with silence, only Yao Ling'er stared at the innocent eyes and looked at the three of them, quite disapproving, but seeing that no one spoke after Chenfeng finished speaking, she could only be silent.
Next, after Chenfeng explained a few more words to the trading workshop, it was not allowed to talk and walk around, and the four of them slowly went downstairs and had a round with Ding Yaru, who had been waiting for a long time.
Although it was still early, the shops and stalls on both sides of the street had already opened, and the pedestrians on the street were also shuttling back and forth, mixed with the sound of selling and bargaining, and the fireworks were full.
The four of Morrowind looked at everything around them with great interest, whether it was the clothes of the other people around them, or their words and expressions, all of them were full of interest. Only those who are on the shelves and stalls, whether they are high or low, do not seem to be very interested.
"Have you never seen the world, or have you seen the big world so you don't think so?"
Just when the four of them were staring around, Ding Yaru always observed the four of them intentionally or unintentionally, and after discovering the behavior of the Chenfeng and the others, she kept muttering in her heart.
At the same time, Morrowind was the first to recover from the dazzling array of new things, and was the first to take a serious look at what was on sale at the stalls, which could not help but be a little disappointed. Except for some weapons such as swords on the stalls, most of the others are medicinal herbs, monster skins and bones.
"Hundred-year-old gold and silver leaves, don't miss it when you pass by!"
The four of them turned a street, and a crisp cry pulled everyone back to reality. Morning Wind turned her head to see a plainly dressed little girl about her own age standing on the corner with a bouquet of gold and silver leaves in her hand.
The morning breeze couldn't help but be in a trance, the hundred-year-old medicinal gold and silver leaves could be said to be a big grasp in the forest around the thatched house, not to mention that there was even a medicinal field of gold and silver leaves that was more than 10,000 years old in the mysterious medicine garden hidden in the cloud mountain.
"Hundred-year-old gold and silver leaves?"
"It's not going to be a lie again, is it?"
"I want it, the old body urgently needs a century-old medicinal gold and silver leaf to heal his wounds. ”
......
Just when Chenfeng didn't think so, the crowd around them rushed away after that shouting, which made Chenfeng inevitably a little dumbfounded.
"Little girl, how do you sell this medicine? Is it Yuanjing or barter?" asked an old man with a white beard and a bit of fairy bones, standing in front of the crowd. Although the others seemed to be determined to win before, they all fell silent when they saw the old man asking for the price.
Morrowind did not come forward, but stopped to watch, obviously very curious.
"No... Don't want metacrystals, and don't change anything. After the old man asked, the little girl paused for a long time before replying, I don't know if she was a little embarrassed in the face of so many people, or if she was already shy, and after saying a word, she blushed, and she didn't have the crispness and coolness of the sale.
After listening to the little girl's answer, the onlookers all looked at each other, and some didn't understand what medicine the little girl was selling in the gourd. Without him, in this trading workshop, transactions are generally conducted through the medium of metacrystals, and there are occasional examples of barter, but apart from these two, many people have not heard of other ways.
"Could it be that this little girl is deliberately trying to trick me?"
"Little girl, what do you mean by that?"
Sure enough, seeing that the little girl was gone, all kinds of different doubts began to sound in the crowd, and the words and tone were quite unpolite.
In the face of everyone's aggressive questioning, the little girl looked even more frightened, subconsciously clenched the herbs in her hand, and stopped talking several times, her little face turned red.
Just when the crowd was angry and questioning one after another, the old man who had asked before smiled gently, first waved his hand to make everyone quiet, and then smiled at the little girl and said, "Little girl, what do you mean?"
"It's still Master Yan who has a good temper!"
"Don't forget the identity of Master Yan, maybe this little girl is ......"
Seeing that the old man spoke again, the crowd quickly quieted down, and seemed to have regained their senses, constantly praising the old man while also beginning to analyze the Tao.
"I ...... I want to exchange this gold and silver leaf for a third-order high-grade Qi Rejuvenation Pill. ”
Maybe the crowd quieted down, or maybe it was because of the old man's pleasant face, the little girl finally calmed down a little, lowered her head and said her request.
"What? exchange pills?"
"Hui Qi Dan?
"It's really a dream for a hundred days to change to a third-order elixir. ”
As soon as the little girl's words fell, the crowd once again remembered all kinds of different doubts and ridicules, and even the old man who had a pleasant face before was not very good-looking.
Seeing this, Chenfeng couldn't help but be even more puzzled, and turned his head to look at Bai Zhuo beside him. It is not difficult to see from the attitude that everyone flocked to before, that the hundred-year-old gold and silver leaf is worth a lot, and it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with exchanging a three-grade Huiqi Pill, but why is the reaction of other people so great?
Yan Chen immediately adjusted his emotions, and said gently: "Little girl, do you want to use the Qi Pill this time?" Old man Yan Chen, the only second-grade alchemist near the trading workshop, thanks to his love, has a slight reputation, and has a little research on medical Taoism, if he can trust it, why not let the old man take a look at it first, and then talk about the exchange of gold and silver leaves?"
"Tsk, Master Yan's parents' hearts!"
"Master Yan still has a lot of them!"
The grass on the wall in the crowd once again praised Yan Chen without hesitation, and the meaning of worship and sycophants was overflowing.
"Okay, then thank you Master!" The little girl was also taken aback by Yan Chen's identity, and when she saw that Master Yan took the initiative to give her steps, she didn't insist on changing back to Qi Dan, and nodded respectfully.
Seeing that the little girl agreed, Yan Chen touched his beard and nodded slightly, turned around and waved at the crowd, and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone is gone, I'll go with this little girl." ”
The little girl disappeared at the end of the street with Yan Chen, and the crowd naturally dispersed, and the morning breeze looked at the crowd of people coming and going, and always felt that something was wrong, but there was no clue, so she had to continue to walk around the trading hall with Ding Yaru.
