Chapter 28 of the text is fully loaded
Long Xiaofeng bought the snow field, planted boundary markers around the snow field, and began to order Long Jin to take the mercenaries to clear the snow and collect medicine.
Although the work of collecting herbs is manual labor, it is also a technical work, which requires the miners to be bold and careful, if they blindly do it, it is easy to destroy the roots of the herbs, and the next year's herb production is bound to be greatly reduced.
The work of collecting medicines was carried out in a tense and orderly manner, and some family forces were very surprised to see that Long Xiaofeng had done the work of collecting medicines with the respect of the patriarch.
"The actions of this young patriarch are really unexpected, he has mined like this, and it is good to say that he has collected medicine, and if he can't collect it, it will not be a loss-making transaction. β
He didn't buy so many good snow fields, but he just bought a snow field backed by the mountain, obviously just to collect medicine, there was no cold jade under that snow field, which everyone could see, and it wouldn't sell much if he didn't mine. β
The two outer disciples of the Spirit Phoenix Clan kept whispering while watching Long Xiaofeng mining the snow fields. The spiritual power on Long Xiaofeng's body has now reached the third stage of the Secret Realm, and his ear power and eyesight are much stronger than usual, and he is aware of every word and action of the people around him. He just wanted to pick the herbs as soon as possible at the moment, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the gossip of these people.
After Long Jin commanded the mercenaries to clear the snow from the entire snow field, some ginseng and snow lotus rooted deep in the soil began to appear. Under the guidance of the pharmacist, the mercenaries carefully picked up the ginseng and snow lotus plants one by one, and carefully put them into the medicine box in the carriage.
"These ginseng are not very good, but they are some wild ginseng that are five or six years old, and they can only be sold for one silver coin per plant at most. "An outer disciple of the Spirit Fox Clan.
"This young patriarch is more than ten years younger than you and me, and he actually became the patriarch of the Linglong clan, but after all, it is a little more thing, as soon as he opened his mouth, he bought six acres of snow fields, you see, he has to pay this ten thousand gold coins cleanly. β
You and I have been doing snow removal and medicine collection for more than ten years, and we only dare to buy one acre each time, this kid is good, six acres as soon as he opens his mouth, so bold, if he wasn't born in a honey pot and grew up, he doesn't know how difficult it is to make money, how can there be such a big spend. β
The two Fang City bosses whispered in the distance, and although the voice was low, it still reached Long Xiaofeng's ears. Long Xiaofeng smiled and said in his heart: "These six acres of snow fields are backed by the mountains to the sun, and in the east of the mountain, at the turn of spring and summer, the earth atmosphere is the most warm, and in July, the earth atmosphere turns warm to cold, but it will not be colder than other places, it can be said that it is the most suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs. β
As soon as Long Xiaofeng came to the snow field, he took a fancy to the six acres of snow fields. He stayed in the Scholar Pavilion of Mulingmen for nearly three months, and almost read all the books on the growth habits of flowers and plants in the Scholar Pavilion, and also dabbled in many books on the growth habits of various herbs. He was convinced that his judgment would not be bad. In addition to this, he also mastered the refining methods of some important pills by reading books.
"Making money by selling refined pills is much more profitable than simply selling medicinal herbs, how can these traders figure this out. Long Xiaofeng snorted coldly and thought to himself.
After digging up the snow on an acre of snow field to the west, the two pharmacists suddenly exclaimed, only to see a ginseng taro exposed to the ground, and it was the thickness of a wrist.
The crowd of onlookers heard the exclamation and rushed over one after another, and they were all stunned when they saw the ginseng taro.
"The alobe is the thickness of the wrist, and this ginseng plant is afraid that it has grown for more than thousands of years. One person said in a deep voice, staring closely at the ginseng that was about to be unearthed.
"This ginseng is also considered to be superb, even if you spend 100,000 gold coins to buy such a thousand-year-old ginseng, you won't lose anything!" said a vendor with envy.
With the unearthing of ginseng, people exclaimed again. I saw a ginseng that was thicker than an arm being lifted by a mercenary, and the long golden hairs on the ginseng were thin and long, shining in the sunlight.
"Boss Wu, I'm afraid you're seeing this kind of ginseng for the first time, right?" said a thin old man with a smile. A fat shopkeeper in Fang City next to him said. The obese shopkeeper was staring intently at the unearthed ginseng, and the look on his face had become demented due to the greed in his heart, and he was deaf to the words of the old man next to him.
"I've been digging ginseng here every year, why can't I dig such good ginseng?" suddenly sighed the obese shopkeeper in Fang City.
With this exclamation, the surrounding crowd let out a sigh of extreme frustration. The words of the obese shopkeeper in Fang City obviously spoke everyone's mind. So, everyone's eyes turned to Long Xiaofeng, who was sitting motionless in the carriage, and while admiring, his eyes were also mixed with doubts and incomprehension.
However, the shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Gate saw that after the mercenaries under Long Xiaofeng picked a thousand-year-old ginseng, the muscles on his face began to twitch non-stop, and he became unsettled, but Xue Tian had already sold it to the other party, although he was unwilling, he could only watch Long Xiaofeng put the ginseng in his hand into the medicine box on the car, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his mouth.
"Young patriarch, we are not in vain this time, with this thousand-year-old ginseng as the treasure of the market, we will not worry about the unfavorable opening of the market, and in the future, we will have a wide range of financial resources, and the business will definitely be prosperous. Long Jin walked up to Long Xiaofeng and said with a smile. Long Xiaofeng said: "Don't you see so many people's eyes? We can't be too public, lest people have the idea of robbery, and then we are afraid that it will cause a senseless fight." Long Jin nodded and said, "The patriarch is right, I will order them to mine in a low-key manner." β
It didn't take long for Long Xiaofeng's mercenaries to pick another green and crystal Ganoderma lucidum, although the picking was very low-key, but because of the special color and fragrance of Lingzhi, it still attracted many onlookers.
With the continuous unearthing of rare medicinal materials such as snow ginseng, snow lotus and snow dragon fruit, the traders who picked herbs from near and far were extremely red-eyed, and later simply stopped their medicine collection work and gathered around Long Xiaofeng's snow fields to watch Long Xiaofeng's mercenaries collect medicine.
"It's really strange, it seems that the medicinal herbs of the entire snowy field have been gathered here. A merchant frowned and said, "Boss Yu, how about the snow field you bought, I saw that you spent 60,000 gold coins, did you mine the cold jade?"
"Alas, don't mention it, except for some snow ginseng and snow lotus, there are no rare medicinal materials, let alone any cold jade, I have lost a lot this time!" there was an indescribable frustration in his tone.
"These six acres of snow fields don't look unusual, there are so many rare medicinal herbs, I can be seen blindly!" another vendor sighed.
The onlookers sighed and rubbed their hands again, and finally the shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Gate couldn't sit still. Just when the mercenaries under Long Xiaofeng were about to start mining the third acre of snow field, the shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Gate suddenly rushed to the front and stretched out his hand to stop him: "The remaining three acres of snow field, Lao Tzu will not sell it!" His expression was full of fierce and vicious intent.
Long Jin didn't expect the other party to temporarily repent, and couldn't help but glance back at Long Xiaofeng, but saw that Long Xiaofeng was still sitting quietly in the car, as if he hadn't seen what was happening in front of him, and smiled at the moment: "Friend, this is your fault, Your Excellency personally promised to sell this snow field for 10,000 gold coins." The land sale contract has also been made, do you want to regret it at this time?"
The shopkeeper of the Wu Gu Gate said coldly: "Where is the contract to sell the land? Lao Tzu only said that he would sell three acres, but he never said that he would sell six acres. As he spoke, he glared arrogantly at Long Xiaofeng, who was sitting motionless in the carriage.
Seeing that the other party was so rude, Long Jin showed anger on his face, and said unhappily: "You and I know the rules on this snow field, and if you break the rules, you will be punished!" The shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Gate laughed at the three companions beside him: "Brothers, did you hear, this kid wants to punish us!" The three companions immediately laughed, and the laughter was full of arrogance and disdain.
Long Jin swiped from behind, drew his long sword, and said angrily: "The four insist on blocking the difficulty, then only the subordinates will see the real chapter." β
The shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Gate took down two round blades from behind him, and the left and right were actually two foreign blades of the Qi Gateβthe Five Elements Wheel, and the rims of the wheels were crescent-shaped blades, which glowed with a dazzling cold light in the sunlight, and said with a cold smile: "Today I will learn the Snowy Domain Gate's high moves." As he spoke, he pounced on Long Jin's side and swung his wheel on his shoulder, his move was extremely fierce.
Long Jin took a few steps back, and the Qingfeng Sword in his hand instantly lit out, turning into a flash of light like a meteor like a galactic outpour, and stabbed towards Long Jin sharply. With the sound of gold and iron resonating, the two of them each took two steps back.
The shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Gate saw that Long Jin's swordsmanship was fast and powerful, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he waved the Five Elements Wheel and pounced again, refusing to slash left and right, and attacking in a row. The long sword in Long Jin's hand searched for a gap, and every time the sword stabbed out, it would turn into a few stars, virtual and real, and uncertain. The blade of the sword is even more flickering with a sharp sword qi that is uncertain, revealing from the tip of the sword, hurting people invisibly, and it is the most difficult to prevent and unstoppable, this is the fighting skill that Long Jin has practiced hard in the Dragon Elephant Hall for several days.
After less than a dozen rounds of fighting, the shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Sect had only the ability to parry, and in the face of Long Jin's erratic sword qi and sword blade, he had no power to fight back. Seeing that the defeat had appeared, the other three companions of the Witch Gu Gate winked at each other, exhaled, and rushed forward, spears, chain hammers, and hook sickles, and beckoned to Long Jin together.
"Shameless!!" Long Jin scolded. But at the same time, the three people who rushed up let out a miserable scream together, and the three attacking blades, including the Five Elements Wheel in the hands of the Witch Gu Sect shopkeeper, flew into the air in an instant.
The onlookers were stunned by the sudden change in front of them, and when they looked at it again, they saw that Long Xiaofeng was standing beside Long Jin without knowing when, and the three people who rushed up were bleeding from their right shoulders, and they were obviously not lightly injured.
Long Xiaofeng stretched out his hand and took the fallen hook and sickle in his hand, stared at the shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Gate and said: "The rules on this snow field, no one has dared to break them for so many years, since you have broken it, you have to leave something!" Long Jin said: "Yes, at least you have to leave an arm, this is the lightest." Long Xiaofeng smiled faintly and said, "What did Your Excellency say?"
The shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Gate looked extremely frightened, seeing Long Xiaofeng sitting in the carriage, he suddenly flew in front of him, and how the three companions were injured, he didn't see it clearly at all, knowing that the other party's martial arts were far superior to his own, and the cold sweat on his forehead suddenly trickled down.
Long Xiaofeng said lightly: "Your Excellency will do it yourself or I will do it." The shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Sect stared at Long Xiaofeng's face, his face turned from red to blue and white, his lips squirmed a few times, and finally stretched out his left arm, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, give me a good time." β
Long Xiaofeng glanced at Long Jin, Long Jin nodded, stepped forward, and slashed down with his sword. The shopkeeper of the Witch Gu Gate screamed miserably, and at the moment when his arm hit the ground, he hurriedly sealed several acupoints on his left shoulder, and without glancing at the broken arm on the ground, he turned around and left. The other three injured followed, far away.
Long Xiaofeng returned to the carriage and sat down, his expression extremely calm. Long Jin continued to lead the mercenaries to mine the herbs in the remaining three snow fields. The onlookers saw the bloody scene in front of them, and they all felt afraid in their hearts, and they didn't dare to look at it anymore, so they left one after another.
By the time the herbs in the remaining three fields of snow had been mined, it was getting late. This harvest can be described as a lot of harvest, mining three thousands of years of Ganoderma lucidum, one thousand years of ginseng, and other long-standing herbs are countless.
