Chapter 91 [Sweeping Medicine]
Knowing that the competition would be held seven days later, early the next morning, Luo Xiao and Luo's father and son left the villa in a carriage in the name of purchasing elixir to stabilize their cultivation, and went to Shengjing.
Luo Xiao's trip was indeed to buy medicine, but it was not a healing elixir, but a variety of medicines, a large number of medicines. The head office of the Materia Medica Hall is in Shengjing, and there is a branch shopkeeper next to him, so he doesn't make good use of it, buy a lot, and implement his own Lingpu plan, when will he stay?
Driving more than 30 miles south from Luo's Villa, you can see a lead-gray ribbon-shaped city wall in the distance, as well as various colored flags that are high and low, hunting in the wind. The closer you go, the more you can feel the thickness and majesty of the city wall, the deep gate hole, the guards in armor, and the huge bed crossbows on the battlements that glow with cold light, all revealing a sense of solemnity.
But when you enter the capital, it's a different story. As a royal capital, Shengjing is indeed worthy of its name, with wide and clean streets, perfect and orderly drainage canals, rows of shops, and crowds of people, all reflecting the style of one of the three famous capitals in the Mirror Domain.
Luo Xiao pressed Luo Zifeng's proposal to visit the royal capital, first went to the main hall of the Materia Medica, and threw the medicine into the Immortal Stone Cave one day earlier, that is, it would be a year earlier.
So under the guidance of Luo Yangde, he came to the main hall of the Materia Medica, which is located in the center of the cross street.
As a medicinal herb shop, the decoration should not be gorgeous, but thick and ancient. The main hall of the herb hall is in this style, from the outside to the inside, antique, entering the store, sandalwood and medicinal fragrance are mixed, refreshing.
The interior of the main hall is very spacious, at least five or six times larger than the Yishui Hall that Luo Xiao has seen, and the flow of people is also considerable, and the sound of bargaining and various transactions is endless.
As the person in charge of the branch, Luo Yangde has to go back to the main hall every year to report on his work, and he is very familiar with the staff of the main hall, as soon as he enters the door, there are constantly clerks to greet him, and finally walk to the backyard where idlers are not allowed to enter, and meet a middle-aged man who claims to be the seventh shopkeeper, laughing and scolding each other, and seems very familiar.
After Dao Ming's intentions, the seventh shopkeeper saw that it was a big deal, and he was an internal acquaintance, so he was very happy to bring the purchase list and hand it to Luo Xiao to choose from, and mark it out if he saw it, and the price was negotiable.
Luo Xiao's requirements for Lingpu medicinal materials are only three: one is rare and expensive, the second is that it is widely used, and the third is that it has growth.
One or two points are easy to understand, and the third point mainly refers to the kind of spirit plant that is older and more effective. Not all plants can become spiritual plants, ginseng becomes a treasure in a hundred years, Shou Wu becomes a essence in a thousand years, and licorice is still ...... after a hundred years Licorice is more resistant to torment.
The fly in the ointment is that some herbs that look pretty good are limited by the environment. For example, "Tianmu Snow Lotus" pulls out fire poison and can restore burned skin to normal without leaving scars, the effect is very strong, but it needs an extremely cold environment, and the "fire snake fruit" with a remarkable effect on cold poison is a tropical plant.
However, the Immortal Stone Cave Heaven is Huan Wen and is suitable for most spirit plants, but those rare herbs that have extreme requirements for the environment cannot grow in this normal situation, even if the aura is rich, it is useless - aura is not omnipotent after all.
Therefore, despite looking at the heat in his eyes, Luo Xiao had to give up these top-level spiritual plants with special medicinal effects, and instead choose the spirit plants with inferior effects but could grow in a normal environment. Fortunately, most of the medicinal materials in the Heavenly Mirror Domain were adapted to the normal environment, and more than ninety percent of the precious medicinal species that Luo Xiao liked could be collected into the Immortal Stone Cave Heaven.
Returning Yang Grass, the effect of a hundred years is that as long as there is still a breath, you can hang your life for several months, and you can collect it!
Ju Yuan Root, the main medicine of Gu Yuan Dan, is used to stabilize the Yuan Core when promoting to a samurai, it is just necessary to be in short supply, and it is accepted!
Blood stone ginseng, the main medicine of the healing elixir Blood Jade San. People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed?
Acacia grass for ...... Uh, that's it.
Among them, there are many precious medicines, and the stock of the Materia Medica is also very small, and they were originally not for sale, but only for the use of their own medicine garden. Fortunately, Luo Yangde showed his old face, pleaded for mercy, high prices, bribes, and all kinds of means came out, and finally Luo Xiao was able to return with a full load.
Luo Xiao didn't know how much money it spent, because one of the conditions he reached with Luo Yangde was that all the medicines were included, and he only saw that all the medicines were loaded with five carts when he left the Materia Medica.
This is not to say that Luo Xiao and his gang bought thousands of medicinal seeds, the medicine seeds are called "seeds", but they are not grain seeds, and a sack can contain 10,000 grains. Many medicinal species are actually like potted plants, with roots, branches, flowers and leaves, packed into pots, and packaged in boxes and boxes to protect them from bumping. After all, ninety percent of the seeds that Luo Xiao bought were precious medicines, and a plant could be exchanged for almost the same weight of gold, and touching a leaf was equivalent to a gold leaf falling to the ground.
Luo Xiao looked at Luo Yangde, who twitched the corners of his mouth from time to time, and said, "There's no problem, right?"
Luo Yangde squeezed out a stiff smile: "Of course, no problem." ”
Although Luo Xiao did not participate in the actual transaction, he handled every medicine plant, and the price on the purchase list was clear and clear, and he still had a bit of a spectrum in his heart about the total price, anyway, it was far beyond the seventy or eighty taels of gold he returned at the beginning.
However, this is one of the conditions of cooperation, and there is no reason for him to save money for the other party and make his spiritual garden plan unflawed, right?
According to Luo Xiao's instructions, the coachman drove five wagons full of medicinal plants to a temporary rented courtyard, and then unloaded all the goods and put them into the house, and it was dusk. However, the Luo family also has one or two houses in the capital, and they will live in Shengjing City tonight and will not return to the villa.
According to Luo Xiao, this house is only rented for three days, and after three days, someone will naturally take all the goods away, and the Luo family and his son will not worry about it. Luo's father and son also knew that Luo Xiao had a "background", although they were curious, they never dared to ask, so they had to go to Yucai Building to book dinner first.
Luo Xiao sent away Luo's father and son in the name of inspecting the goods, turned around and entered the house, swept his big sleeves, and the rows of neatly stacked packaging boxes of medicinal plants disappeared. In the blink of an eye, all the goods of the five major carriages were collected into the Immortal Stone Cave, and the houses that were still crowded just now became empty.
Then Luo Xiao dodged into the fairy stone cave, jumped into the void, and began to unpack and plant plants in a weird floating posture, the originally empty cave sky void, and gradually appeared rows of plants, although the ups and downs of weightlessness are a bit strange, and the arrangement is also crooked, but almost every medicine is glowing with a little bit of luminescence - this is the medicine seed is frantically absorbing aura, just like when Luo Xiao first entered the cave.
Luo Xiao was busy for most of the day, and finally planted the three hundred and seventy-one medicinal seeds completely, and then he could leave it alone, just waiting for the harvest to be harvested according to demand after 100 days (years). As for the garbage such as packaging boxes and boxes, Luo Xiao threw them all out of the cave.
I saw cartons and wooden boxes appear out of thin air in the empty house, and there was a tom tom sound, and the garbage was all over the ground in an instant. After a while, a large living person suddenly appeared, stepped into an empty box, and fell into the garbage heap with a thud.
After a while, the door creaked open, Luo Xiao straightened his clothes, glanced left and right, locked the door, determined the direction, and left calmly.
When Luo Xiao's figure disappeared, two gray-clothed men turned around the corner of the street, approached quietly, one looked at the wind, the other climbed into the courtyard, and after a while, they came out over the wall, and the two left in a hurry.
Soon after, two gray-clothed men appeared in a restaurant private room, and there were only two people in the upper seat, it was Luo Yangbao, the head of the Yinshan branch, and his son Luo Ziyang.
After listening to the reports of the two, Luo Ziyang asked, "You didn't move those boxes, did you?"
The gray-clothed man who entered the hospital to investigate: "No, the little one wants to see, but the door doesn't know what's going on, and it can't be opened, and the little one doesn't dare to forcibly destroy it......"
Luo Yangbao casually threw a small bag on the table, and the sound of metal clashing was crisp and pleasant: "You have done a good job, take this silver." Keep an eye on me to see who will pick up the goods and report it immediately, understand?"
The two men in gray bowed down and answered, "Obey." ”
