Chapter 3 Ginseng

Came to a boulder that has been standing in the southern suburbs of Qushui Town, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and stretched out his hand to touch the boulder.

A ripple rippled on the surface, and a suction force sucked the vast expanse into the boulder.

A quarter of an hour later, the ripples rose again, and the sky was planted headlong.

The tree-like tattoo on his chest flashed gold, and a ginseng fell to the ground.

The ginseng has a few green leaves on the top of its head and a small red fruit.

A cool breeze blew, the green leaves above his head swayed slightly, and the ginseng took a deep breath: "It's been three thousand years, I have been swimming in Fang Xian ginseng, and I am finally free again, the outside world is really good, even the air is sweet." ”

In an instant, the sky changed dramatically, the original blue sky faded a touch of blue, and the naked eye seemed to be able to see through the endless starry sky, and the stars were shining brightly and coexisting with the sun.

The anomaly in the sky attracted everyone's attention.

In the various super dynasties and mysterious sects, those cultivators who had been in retreat all year round in order to reach a higher realm broke through one after another, looking at this side of the world in confusion.

An old man with silver hair and silver beard sensed everything around him, and his fingers behind him quickly pinched.

After a while, his eyes widened suddenly, and the momentum on his body skyrocketed, sweeping away the previous decadence, and his eyes flashed with a divine light that was extremely inconsistent with his old appearance: "The stars of the day are appearing, the divine grass is coming again, the legends are all true! The gate of heaven will be opened again, the old man is hopeful for longevity, and there is hope for longevity! Hahaha......"

Similar laughter also sounded in the forbidden places of the major forces.

"Someone's coming!"

"Elder Taishang. ”

"Send all the disciples out to find out the clues about the Divine Grass, but if you get any clues, you must quickly report to the sect, and at all costs, you must get the Divine Grass ...... first."

Similar orders have been issued by major forces.

......

Cang Mang endured the pain of his internal organs about to explode, and forcibly sat up from the ground, and the aura of heaven and earth flowed into his body like a torrent, filling his limbs and hundreds of remains.

The pain gradually eased, Cang Miao slowly opened his eyes, and he naturally discovered the changes in the sky.

"Xiao Shen, we shouldn't be found out about such a big movement just now, right?"

"Except for your master, no one should know our exact location. ”

mentioned his master, and his vast thoughts drifted to ten years ago.

"Master, how are you now?"

He shook his head and cheered up: "As soon as the things here are finished, we will leave here and go to my master." ”

Xiao Shen added: "Before that, you must first have the strength to protect yourself, otherwise you will harm your master." ”

"Of course I do. ”

After looking at the people around, Xiao Ginseng jumped on the vast shoulders and got into the vast clothes: "Let's get out of here first." ”

Cang Mang took Xiao Ginseng and returned to Fengji Academy.

The academy was empty, and even the dean didn't know where he went, but this was just right, and it saved Xiao Shen from hiding in Tibet.

The furnishings in the vast room are very simple, a bed, a cupboard, a small square table and two chairs.

As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Ginseng immediately got out of his vast clothes and went straight to the cabinet.

The cabinet door opened, and what came into view was a small crystal clear tree only two inches high, and bursts of aura were overflowing from the small tree.

Xiao Ginseng hugged the sentient beings tree that was not much smaller than himself in his arms, and his face was full of comfort.

This tree is called the Tree of All Beings, don't look at it small, and it will never grow big, but it is a real treasure of heaven and earth, which was specially left by Cang Mingyue when he left.

There are only two things in the world that can provide aura, one is the spirit stone buried deep underground, and the other is the tree of living beings.

Cang Vast secretly raised his eyebrows, admiring Xiao Ginseng's sensitive perception, and as soon as he entered the room, he found this most important thing.

The problems faced by the academy, as well as the situation of the academy and even the entire Qushui Town, were told to Xiao Shen.

Xiao Shen couldn't help but sigh: "I've been walking the world for so many years, it's the first time I've seen such a poor cultivator like you, if it weren't for this tree of sentient beings, I don't think you would have to cultivate." ”

Cang touched his nose embarrassedly, feeling a little embarrassed.

The master had left him some money when he left, but he had been living in the academy, and when he saw that the conditions of the academy were tight, he would take out some of the money to support Dean Feng, and three years ago, he had no money.

"There's really nothing you can do?"

Xiao Ginseng jumped to the table and quickly wrote down several elixirs on a piece of paper: "This is the prescription for the spiritual liquid, if there is enough spiritual liquid, it is definitely not a problem for more than half of the people to break through." But right now, I'm afraid you can't even afford any of these elixirs. There's only so much I can help you, and it's up to you to make money. ”

His eyes widened: "Rely on me? If I have a way, I still have to wait until today? Do you know how long I haven't eaten meat?"

Ginseng shrugged his shoulders and ignored it.

Cang scratched his head, looked at the piece of paper in his hand, and silently wrote it down. He took out the only one hundred spirit coins from the cabinet, which was given to him by Dean Feng a few months ago.

Spirit coin is the universal currency of this continent, and the purchasing power of a spirit coin is roughly a meat bun.

Cang Mang knew that the money was far from enough, but he had no more, and as for Dean Feng, he was probably poorer than him.

There is no way, anyway, there is no way to stay in the academy, so I plan to take Xiao Ginseng to the town for a walk.

......

After walking around the town for a long time, I still don't have a clue, how can I earn money with these hundred spirit coins alone?

"Let's go and see how much it costs to prepare the elixir of the spiritual liquid, and I have a goal. ”

Thinking of this, I have come to the largest shop in the town - Jucai Pavilion.

The guys here are loading the cart box by box.

As soon as he was about to enter the store, he heard someone call him: "Senior brother, why did you come here?"

Cang Mang turned his head to look and saw that Peng Yong had just loaded a box onto the carriage.

"Peng Yong, you were injured just now, why did you come here to do this now?"

Peng Yong smiled innocently: "Senior brother, I'm fine, the medicine given by the dean works very well." I haven't done my work today, and if the owner finds out, I'll be punished again. ”

Peng Yong said that the owner is Peng Yuan, the mayor of Qushui Town, Peng Yong is just a subordinate of the Peng family, and it was Dean Feng who persuaded the mayor to let a subordinate like Peng Yong have the opportunity to enter the academy to study.

Cang looked at the things in the carriage and asked, "What are these?"

"These are silkworms, just harvested from farmers, ready to be shipped to Green Water City to sell. ”

It is clear that many farmers in Qushui Town make a living from silkworm raising, and at least half of the students in the academy raise silkworms at home.

Peng Yong originally wanted to ask about what happened in the academy this morning, but just as he was about to speak, the foreman behind him shouted: "Peng Yong, what are you doing? There are still so many goods to be moved, if you are lazy, you will have nothing to eat today." ”

Peng Yong hurriedly said to Cangmang: "Senior brother, I have to go to work." ”

Seeing Peng Yong turn around and go to work, Cang Man shook his head and raised his feet into the store.

Seeing a guest come in, someone immediately beckoned: "This little brother, what do you want to buy?"

"Do you have golden kiss flowers, Tianyi grass, jade Qingzi, wind chimes and sage's mane mushrooms here?"

As soon as he heard these things, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him, and his face smiled: "Yes, they are all there, little brother wants to see the goods?"

Cang Mang was a little weak-hearted, so he asked first: "What is the approximate price of these things?"

The shopkeeper casually played with the abacus: "You just said a few things, they are all first-order spirit grass, 7,000 spirit coins of Golden Kiss Flower, 4,000 spirit coins of Tianyi Grass, 4,000 spirit coins of Yuqingzi, 1,100 spirit coins of wind chimes, 2,100 spirit coins of rat mane mushroom, a total of 18,200." ”

Listening to the shopkeeper quote this price, he was sweating profusely, he just wanted to come in and learn about the market, but it was okay if he didn't understand, but now he was desperate.

I don't know how many people can use the spiritual liquid refined from this elixir, and he will definitely not be able to afford this medicinal material alone.

Let the shopkeeper give him a discount and sell him for a hundred?

It's pretty much the same to break a bone.

The shopkeeper's face changed in an instant, and he immediately said: "Little brother, the elixirs in our store are all in excellent condition, and this price is really not expensive." If you want it, I can let you have a little, and I will take 18,000, what do you think?"

Cang was even more desperate, and everyone wiped a small change, which was more than the money on him, and hurriedly shirked and said: "I'll think about it again, think about it again." ”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that the business was gone, and the enthusiasm just now dissipated, and he became very cold.

"Shopkeeper, do you accept prescriptions here?"

"Oh, what's the cure?"

"The prescription for the spiritual liquid is very good for cultivators. ”

Cang Mang looked at the shopkeeper with extremely sincere eyes, as if telling him with his eyes: "That's right, I have this kind of prescription." ”

The shopkeeper carefully examined the vastness, and finally opened his mouth and spit out two words: "Don't accept it." ”

Shouldn't this be the kind of routine you were stunned for! Shouldn't you buy my prescription at a high price like a treasure?

"Why don't you take it?"

The shopkeeper said impatiently: "Almost no one can afford this kind of thing in Qushui Town, and there is no market. As for Green Water City, there is a Dan Society there, not to mention whether your prescription is true or not, even if it is true, we don't have the ability to compete with the Dan Society. ”

Hearing this reason, I was extremely depressed, I didn't know what to do, and now I was standing in someone's store, and I couldn't afford to buy anything, and I had nothing to sell, which was very embarrassing.

I was about to leave here and think of a way, but Xiao Ginseng's words came from the bottom of my ears: "Buy some silkworm eggs and go back." ”

I was stunned, I didn't understand why Xiao Ginseng asked him to buy silkworm eggs, could it be that he wanted him to raise silkworms to make money?

Dean Feng and he also wanted to subsidize the expenses of some academies by raising silkworms, but because the income was not high and it was time-consuming, they were finally forced to give up.

Therefore, for silkworm farming, the vast is still a little known.

In this Qushui Town, a pound of silk of good quality is purchased at a price of about 200 spirit coins. And it takes about a thousand cocoons to produce one pound of silk.

Slim profits aside, the life cycle of a silkworm takes about two months, and even from hatching to harvesting the cocoon, it takes more than a month.

The silkworm has not yet been cultivated, and the academy may have been forced to close.

"Xiao Shen, you don't have enough time to raise silkworms! ”

"I've helped you think of a way, it's your business to do it or not. ”

Xiao Ginseng stopped talking again.

The bottom of his heart moved, could it be that Xiao Ginseng really had any way?

A little uneasy, he asked two more questions: "Do you really want to buy silkworm eggs? ”

Xiao Ginseng didn't answer either.

Cang complained, do you treat the protagonist like this? Don't I just ask you a few more words? I don't speak, and my temper stinks so long after living a long time? Then I want to have a bad temper.

Come to think of it, Cang Miao can only accept Xiao Ginseng's plan, who makes himself have no idea?

Where to talk to Xiao Ginseng with his head tilted, in the eyes of the shopkeeper, he was talking to himself, thinking that he had a mental problem, and he was even more disgusted with him.

Cang Mang turned his head, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I want to buy some silkworm eggs." ”

The shopkeeper was so busy with the work at hand that he didn't want to look up at the sky more, so he replied, "Fifty spirit coins and ten thousand grains." ”

Cang Mang took out the only one hundred spirit coins on his body: "I want 20,000 grains." ”

The shopkeeper took the money and handed two pieces of paper stained with silkworm eggs to Cangmang: "There are about 10,000 grains on one piece of paper, and you have collected these two." ”

Cang Mang took the silkworm eggs and prayed in a low voice: "Xiao Ginseng, now you are really bankrupt, but it is all up to you." ”
