"Whew...... Finally, the third stage of the spirit seed stage is here. ”

Eight months have passed since Cheng Mo came to the Cheng family, and Cheng Mo has also broken through to the third order of the Spirit Seed Stage.

On this day, he waited for the elixir and the elixir as usual, and when he got it, he took it himself—because he was no longer short of money.

However, he did not wait.

asked Jia Sanchang to inquire, only to learn that the family's economic turnover has been difficult recently, and the elixir once a day has been changed to once every two days.

The reasons are not difficult to explain: first, the Cheng family used a large amount of money to mine the ore veins in the county, but now the ore veins have not been excavated, and all the funds have been invested in it, and it cannot be stopped considering the cost; second, the Dugu family has done a monopoly business, and has set up a large number of sentry posts in the black market, devouring the black market territory, causing the Cheng family's business to shrink; third, the money of the young masters in the family has been donated to Cheng Mo for cultivation, and they keep asking the Cheng family's parents for money, which has caused financial pressure on the family to a certain extent.

Let's talk about the Dugu family. In Fenglian City, the Dugu family has always been a powerful family that can compete with the Cheng family. In the past few decades, the rivalry between the two families has intensified, and there is quite a momentum of feng shui taking turns. Especially this time when they got involved in the black market, you can see their family's ambitions.

It is not surprising that each family has set up some sentry posts in the black market. After all, the black market is mixed with many people, and in case of a fight, the family's sentry can always help.

However, if it is to divide the territory of the black market, or even swallow the territory and pay protection money, it is a bit excessive.

It is true that the Cheng family does not want to conflict with it, so they naturally don't provoke the territory devoured by the Dugu family, but the Cheng family itself has to make a deal, and it is impossible to sell the position in the black market. was squeezed and devoured by the Dugu family in this way, the interests of the Cheng family became less, and the profits of the Dugu family increased.

That night, Cheng Mo produced a lot of elixirs in large quantities, and used up all the remaining vermilion roots and biling fruits, making a total of four hundred and forty elixirs.

Forty of them were kept for themselves, and the remaining four hundred were ready to be sold on the black market to raise a large sum of money to refine the Flame Pill. That night, he took Jia Sanchang and set up a stall on the black market, which was selling happily, when he suddenly saw two people.

Walking in front was a woman in her thirties, dressed in purple and with a slender posture, it was her aunt Cheng Zirong. Walking behind her was an old man with a white beard, judging from his calm and indifferent gait between his gestures, Cheng Mo recognized it at a glance, this was his grandfather Cheng Lu.

"Why are my aunt and grandpa here?" Cheng Mo was surprised, and hurriedly turned his head away, and suddenly remembered that he had brought a hat, so he didn't need to deliberately avoid it.

Cheng Zirong slowly walked to Cheng Mo's stall, staring at Cheng Mo with a pair of eyes.

Cheng Mo specially disguised his face today, applied a lot of black dye, and pressed the hat very low, even if Ye Lanzhi stood in front of him, he might not be able to recognize that this was his son. Seeing Cheng Zirong's eyes staring at her without blinking, her little heart was also fluttering, for fear that she would be recognized.

Jia Sanchang behind him was also a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to make a sound. Cheng Mo and Jia Sanchang just lowered their heads and pressed the brim of their hats, and their postures were almost identical.

"Father, this is it. Cheng Zirong whispered to Cheng Lu.

Cheng Lu let out a "hmm", took a step forward, and looked down at the elixir in front of Cheng Mo's stall.

"It's indeed a panacea, it's genuine. After Cheng Lu finished the identification, he whispered to Cheng Zirong.

Cheng Zirong's surprised eyes swept over Cheng Mo again, and she whispered to Cheng Lu: "Do we have such a person in Fengliancheng, how can he have so many elixirs?"

Cheng Lu said: "Maybe it's an incognito alchemist. ”

Cheng Zirong cleared her throat and said to Cheng Mo: "Little brother, how do you sell these elixirs?"

When the two of them lowered their heads and spoke, Cheng Mo basically heard what they were discussing. I saw that they were interested in buying their own elixir, and they were really a little crying and laughing. It turned out that his own business not only achieved the head of the Cheng family, but even the head of the Cheng family. When the pills in Cheng's house ran out, the elders went to the black market to buy them, and it seemed that the Cheng family was also quite embarrassed.

Cheng Mo thought that he would sell it cheaper, so he said: "Originally, it was fifty silver coins each, but for the sake of the two Cheng family seniors, forty silver coins each." "This price is not a loss, it is the price that Cheng Mo sold to the juniors of the Cheng family.

When Cheng Zirong heard that the price was not expensive, it was ten silver coins cheaper than those on the market, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "We want to buy all your elixirs, can we have more?"

Cheng Mo didn't expect that his aunt would have to talk about business inch by inch. He laughed and said, "I can erase the odds." If I have less, I will lose money. ”

Jia Sanchang also said vaguely: "Yes, no matter how little it is, it will be a loss." ”

Cheng Zirong was stunned when she heard Jia Sanchang's voice, "This little brother, what's your name?"

After all, Jia Sanchang was not as calm as Cheng Mo, his voice was a little vague and weird, but he didn't completely cover up his voice, and that kind of somewhat silly voice was almost 1510 out. Cheng Mo was afraid that he would show his stuffing, so he hurriedly said: "Trading on the black market, do you still need to know your name? We are also assigned by the master to come here to sell some life money, what is the name is not worth mentioning." ”

Cheng Mo added a master to himself, which seemed more real. Otherwise, at their age, it is really unreasonable to sit on this big elixir.

Cheng Zirong wanted to ask again, but Cheng Lu shook her hand. Generally, there is an unspoken rule in the black market, if someone is unwilling to show his face or say his name, he must not be forced to ask, unless the other party sells him a fake.

"Little brother, pack them all and take them away. Cheng Lu said.

"Yes. Jia Sanchang nodded hurriedly, bowing his head and putting all these elixirs together.

Just as Cheng Mo's business was about to be concluded, a voice suddenly came from a distance: "Slow! I am willing to buy these elixirs at a price of forty-five each." ”

Cheng Mo and the others were all stunned, but they saw another old man walking slowly.

This old man has black hair, but he is already in his fifties and sixties in appearance, and he is full of energy and has a calm gait, but he is a powerful person.

In Fengliancheng, the Cheng family and the Dugu family are the two major local forces. The patriarch of the Cheng family is Cheng Lu, that is, Cheng Mo's grandfather, and the patriarch of the Dugu family, called Dugu Changyuan, is the black-haired old man who is now coming towards him.

In terms of strength, the two families are half a pound and eight taels; in terms of reputation, between the two families; and in terms of financial resources, they originally had their own merits, but now the Cheng family's finances have obviously shrunk a little. As long as one of these three factors fails, it will be a fatal blow to a family. Obviously, Dugu Changyuan knew this, so he dared to shout out the price of forty-five elixirs arrogantly, instead of compressing the purchase price like the Cheng family.

I only heard Cheng Zirong whisper to Cheng Lu: "Father, Dugu Lao'er has come to smash the field, should I go and call the second brother and them?"

Cheng Lu shook his hand, "Dugu Lao'er wants to buy all the elixirs, and it's useless for you to call Zikun to come." Their Dugu family has a high price, presumably this little brother wants to sell the elixir to them. It's a pity that our Cheng family children don't have many pills available. After that, he looked at Jia Sanchang holding a large bag of elixir in his hand, and sighed again and again.

Seeing that Cheng Lu was so embarrassed, Cheng Mo couldn't wait to tell him immediately that these pills would not be sold cheaply to the Dugu family. But how could he reveal his identity? He had to keep his head down, keep silent, and wait and see.

"Little brother, this elixir is forty-five, can it be sold?" asked Dugu Changyuan.

"I'm sorry, I don't sell it, I promised to give it to the Cheng family's seniors. Cheng Mo said.

Cheng Mo's answer made Cheng Lu and Cheng Zirong stunned, and even Dugu Changyuan was stunned, there were still people who refused high-profit income? !

Dugu Changyuan said slowly: "Since you come to the black market to trade, what you earn is profit." Before the deal is sold, whoever offers the higher price can change their minds. Now that I'm offering a higher price, you should think about it. ”

Cheng Mo glanced at him, but saw that there was a fake smile on his face, but there was coercion and murder in his eyes. This old man actually wanted to threaten himself.

However, in front of the public, he can't make waves, and Cheng Mo is not afraid of him. After all, after leaving his mother and wandering alone for a long time, Cheng Mo also became cunning, and he smiled: "Old man, you don't know this, Mr. Cheng saved my master's life before, so I spent forty taels of silver to sell it to him to repay my kindness." But if you say forty-five or one, I'll lose money. I've sold for fifty before, and if you can get it higher than that, I'll probably consider it. ”

After Cheng Mo finished speaking, Cheng Zirong and Cheng Lu glanced at each other, and the expressions in their eyes were puzzled.

Before, Cheng Mo was willing to sell to the Cheng family at a price of forty, but when he came to the Dugu family, he was unwilling, could it be that this little brother was here to help the Cheng family? Or, this little brother's master was a friend of Old Man Cheng, and secretly instructed the apostle to help.

Cheng Lu thought about it, but he didn't come up with a suitable name.
