Chapter Twenty-Three: Heavenly Treasure Pavilion
In front of Li Ji's grocery store, Luo Chen and Lige stood on the street in front of the door, followed by two guards, one of whom was still the Chen guard who had followed Luo Chen to buy medicine before.
"Brother Li, have you ever been to Ningshui City before?"
Looking at the people coming and going and the bustling streets, Luo Chen said to Lige.
Lige nodded: "I've been here a few times, but I always followed my father to run errands." ”
"Then do you know which store in Ningshui City sells medicinal herbs that are more than 100 years old?" Luo Chen looked at Lige.
"How do I know that, ask everywhere!" Lige shook his head.
At this time, the Chen guard behind him suddenly spoke: "Young master, ordinary shops basically don't sell medicinal materials that are more than a hundred years old.
If someone picks more than 100 years of medicinal materials, they will either keep them for their own use or sell them to large shops, because 100 years of medicinal materials will cost thousands of taels of silver at every turn, and basically only large shops will give high prices to buy these high-aged medicinal materials. ”
"Oh, I see, no wonder I searched all over Gushan Town and couldn't buy it. ”
Luo Chen was stunned, and then asked again: "Then does Guard Chen know where there are large shops selling high-grade medicinal materials in Ningshui City?"
"Young Master, there is a Tianbao Pavilion not far ahead. ”
Chen Huwei pointed in one direction.
"Okay, let's go there, Escort Chen, please lead the way. ”
Escort Chen answered, and took Luo Chen and the others to Tianbao Pavilion. Halfway through, Luo Chen also went into a few shops to take a look, and sure enough, none of them sold more than 100 years of medicinal materials.
Walking and stopping all the way, half an hour later, Luo Chen and the others came to Tianbao Pavilion.
Tianbao Pavilion is located in the middle of a main road in Ningshui City, and is a three-story pavilion covering a huge area.
"A few guests, I'm sorry, we can't bring weapons into the store, please leave your weapons here first. ”
As soon as Luo Chen and the others were about to enter the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, a sword-wielding guard by the gate stopped them and pointed to a table next to them.
Luo Chen looked at this guard, and was secretly shocked in his heart, this guard actually had a third-rate early realm. In addition, Luo Chen saw that there were two third-rate early stage and some forging body realm guards patrolling inside the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
"To be able to let a third-rate martial artist guard the shop, it seems that the background of this Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is extremely not simple. Luo Chen thought to himself.
"Young master, this is the rule of Tianbao Pavilion, guests are not allowed to bring weapons into the house, for fear that someone will rob with weapons and cause casualties. ”
Escort Chen had been here before, knew the rules here, and saw Luo Chen standing silent, and hurriedly explained to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen nodded, walked to the table, put the knife in his hand on the table, and Guard Chen and the other guard also untied their weapons.
"What a rule!"
Lige muttered, reluctantly took out a spear and put it on the table.
"Rest assured, we will take care of your weapons. The guard smiled professionally.
After putting away the weapons, Luo Chen and the others walked into the Tianbao Pavilion.
"Heh! It's really a big shop, it's really big, it's the size of four or five Tianxiang buildings!"
Lige looked at Tianbao Pavilion with a face full of surprise.
Luo Chen was also secretly surprised, the internal space of this Tianbao Pavilion was huge, and it was the size of his Yuzhuxuan courtyard, you must know that Yuzhuxuan had nine rooms and a larger practice room, as well as the front and back yards.
Luo Chen was shocked, but also looked at Tianbao Pavilion, there were dozens of counters in the hall, and various items were clearly marked in the counters, and there was a guy standing behind each counter, explaining to the guests at any time.
When Luo Chen arrived here, he was not in a hurry to buy medicinal herbs, and planned to take a look around first.
Coming to a counter selling ores, Luo Chen saw that it was filled with ores of various colors and some powders and liquids.
"Man, how do you sell your steel here?"
Lige didn't look at the things in the counter, and asked directly to the guy behind the counter.
Steelmaking is the toughest steel made by manpower, and it is most suitable for *** rods, and Lige uses guns, so I am more concerned about this.
The guy saw that Lige was dressed extraordinarily, so he didn't dare to slack off, and pointed to a jet-black iron ball and explained: "One hundred steel-making two taels of gold for one catty, five hundred steel-making for five taels of gold, and there is the best thousand-for-steel on the second floor, that is, Xuanwen steel, one catty of gold." ”
"Shhh
Lige took a breath of cold air, bared his teeth, and shut up.
When Luo Chen heard this, he secretly said to himself: "One tael of gold is equal to one hundred taels of silver, and a gun barrel costs thirty or forty catties of steel, even if the worst hundred steels are used, a gun barrel will cost thirty or forty thousand taels of silver."
Thirty or forty thousand taels...... One or two pieces of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to live for three months, and no one who can afford it unless the rich and powerful. It's no wonder that those forces break their heads to grab territory and compete for interests. ”
"Darksteel?"
Looking at a piece of ore with a dark color and faint red light next to Bailian Steel. Luo Chen felt a kind of heaviness and sharpness from this piece of ore.
"Yes, this is the black iron, the black iron is mined from the mines, if the weapon is added to the black iron, it will be fierce and indestructible, and whoever stands in the way of the iron will be decided. The price is the same as 500 steelmaking, five taels of gold a catty. ”
The guy smiled and introduced to Luo Chen.
Hearing this, Luo Chen sighed in his heart: "It seems that we have to find a way to make some money." Although the income of Purple Mist Mountain Villa has increased a lot recently, and there are nearly 10,000 taels of silver per month, in addition to various expenses, it can't buy a few catties of Xuantie.
As for steelmaking, although Purple Mist Mountain Villa also has refining, it is too difficult to make steel, and the quantity is not much. ”
"Man, is there any liquid in the ore?"
At this time, Lige asked, pointing to a bottle of turquoise liquid.
Luo Chen looked at it casually, and saw that the price of this liquid was the same as that of Xuantie.
"Oh, this is not an ore, this is the Bihan Night used to assist in refining the Xuanwen Steel, the Xuanjian Steel is too difficult to refine, but after adding the Bihan Night, it will be much easier to refine. ”
When Luo Chen heard this, his heart moved: "There is also a medicinal liquid similar to refining ore in the Dan book, it seems that after I go back, I have to find the second uncle to try." ”
After shopping for a while, Luo Chen found that he was really poor and couldn't afford anything at all, which also strengthened his desire to make money.
"Let's go, let's go to the place where the medicinal herbs are sold. ”
Luo Chen said, and walked towards the counter selling medicinal herbs, he didn't want to go shopping anymore, it was too shocking.
"Man, are there any centuries-old medicinal herbs here?"
Coming to the counter, Luo Chen asked directly.
"Yes, the medicinal materials that are more than 100 years old are on the second floor, please move to the second floor. ”
The guy smiled and made a gesture of please in the direction of the staircase.
When Luo Chen and the others heard this, they turned around and walked towards the second floor.
