Volume 1: The Chosen Boy Chapter 101: Millennial Ginseng

"Dong Duo, come and tell me, how could the Tiangu Fang City of this Tiangu Summit be so shabby, and the scale of such a Fang Market is a place that no one in the martial arts can ask for?" Zhou Yan asked.

It's no wonder that Zhou Yan asked like this, all that Zhou Yan and the others in this city see now are some tattered weapons, books, and the like.

"Returning to the childe, the son doesn't know, this square market is also divided into the periphery and the inner perimeter, and most of the shops in the periphery are selling some low-level things. And go to the depths, there is the inner enclosure, where is another scene, and it is also a place where high-level martial arts people stay, most of the shops sell some, strange objects, and there are even more unfathomable middle-grade and even high-grade exercise cheats!"

"Oh, then you lead the way, we are going to Neiweifang City!" Zhou Yan said.

"Dare to ask how Childe's martial arts cultivation is?"

"Why do you ask that?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Childe doesn't know, once you enter Neiweifang City, the shops there are some stores that have reached the middle stage of martial arts, and some of them have reached the late stage of martial arts. ”

"Why?"

"Because even if Childe has an object that he likes, even if Childe knows the initial price, the store will be ignored because of Childe's low cultivation, unless Childe increases the price, maybe he can buy it, and even the store will innocently raise the price to force Childe to buy!"

"There is still such a thing happening, doesn't Tiangumen care?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Hehe, Tiangumen, they don't care, the people who come here are all martial arts people, and some are people who have many lives, and most of the objects put out are not from normal channels, otherwise this Tiangufang City would not be called by the martial arts world, "Dark Trading Ground". On this day, Gumen also thinks that there is one more thing, it is better to have one less thing, and they don't bother to care about it if they turn a blind eye to it!"

"Hmph, this Tiangu Summit held by Tiangumen, there are so many loopholes, it seems that this Guhe head is not a gentleman. Zhou Yan said angrily.

"Shhh, Childe be quiet, don't let the people of Tiangumen hear it, since Childe wants to go to Neiweifang City, then come with me!"

Zhou Yan snorted coldly, disapproving, and then followed the known Dong Duo towards Neiweifang City.

After a while, several people came to Neiweifang City under the leadership of Dong Duo. At this moment, a large building pavilion appeared in front of several people.

"Dong Duo, could it be that this building is Neiweifang City?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Childe, that's right, this is the building pavilion of Neiweifang City, there are five floors, and there are many stalls on each floor, and all kinds of goods are placed on this stall. Childe can watch at will when he arrives, choose the goods he wants to buy, Childe please!"

Entering the pavilion, the scene was extremely spectacular, and many martial artists placed their goods for sale along the shops established in the pavilion.

There are also a lot of martial arts people who come here to hang out, some are wearing costumes with the words of each family, some are carrying giant swords, some are holding swords and sticks, and they are all covering their faces with scarves in the market, and their eyes are full of vigilance.

Zhou Yan and the others kept passing in front of various stores. At this time, suddenly Li Nian'er stopped and came to a store, and Zhou Yan and the others also followed Li Nian'er here.

"Dare to ask the store, can this ginseng be a hundred years old?" asked Li Nian'er.

"Hmph, a hundred years?" "Girl, I'll tell you the truth, this ginseng plant has been around for a thousand years!

"Millennium?" You won't lie to me, will you? How could this thousand-year-old ginseng appear so easily! Li Nian'er was surprised.

"Don't believe it, don't hide it, the old man of this ginseng originally wanted to keep it for his own use, but the old man has been on the stall recently, and he urgently needs silver to take care of it, so he can't bear to cut his love and take out this ginseng, if the old man didn't have something to do, he wouldn't have come here to sell this ginseng at all!"

"Miss Li, look at your eyes, full of excitement, do you want this ginseng?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Ye Gongzi, my father has actually been suffering from an old illness for many years, his vitality is exhausted, and he urgently needs such a tonic to eat, if this ginseng is really a thousand years old, then my father can use this ginseng to replenish his vitality and slowly recover his physical symptoms. ”

Oh, in that case, then what are you hesitating about, just buy it. As he spoke, Zhou Yan walked forward.

"Old man, is your ginseng really a thousand years old?" Zhou Yan asked.

"A thousand years is true!"

"Is there anything that can prove that it is indeed a thousand-year-old ginseng?" Zhou Yan asked.

"This, how can this be proven!"

At this time, Dong Duo took a step forward and said with a smile, "Childe, I know how to distinguish it." ”

"Do you know how to tell?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Yes, Childe, what this senior said just now is right, this ginseng has indeed reached a thousand years. ”

"How did you know that this ginseng is a thousand years old?"

"Childe, judging by the length of the rhizome and the number of root marks of this ginseng, the longer the ginseng rhizome grows, the longer the growth period. The reason why the number of root marks can be used as a basis for judging the age is that the stems and leaves of above-ground plants wilt once a year, and after falling off, they will leave a stem mark on the head of the reed. ”

"Although the stem scars are usually absent or inconspicuous, there is still a small bump in the length of each stem scar on the formed reed, which can be used to determine the growth age. Even if this ginseng plant is not thousand-year-old, it should reach the thousand-year ranks. Dong Duo explained.

"Oh, it turns out that the longevity of ginseng is judged like this. ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect this little brother to have such a unique vision and be able to recognize the truth and falsehood of thousand-year-old ginseng, and the old man admired it. ”

It is known that Dong Duo heard this, smiled slightly, and stood on Zhou Yan's side and said no more.

"This senior, you can tell me a number, how much silver do you sell for this ginseng?" asked Li Nian'er.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver!"

"What, 20,000 taels of silver, so expensive!" Stone and his party were taken aback.

"This is still expensive, when the old man bought this ginseng that day, he bought it for 30,000 taels of silver, if the old man was not desperate today, how could he have sold it for 20,000 taels of silver!"

Twenty thousand taels of silver, Li Nian'er subconsciously touched her pocket and whispered.

Zhou Yan observed Li Nian'er's actions and knew that Li Nian'er might be shy, so he simply spoke again.

This senior, 20,000 taels of silver, right?

"It's exactly 20,000 taels of silver, one tael can't be less, don't bargain with the old man, this is already the bottom line of the old man. ”

"Hehe, okay, 20,000 taels is 20,000 taels, but can you give me that somewhat worn map? Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"Do you mean this dilapidated map?"

"Yes, senior. Zhou Yan said.

"This is a full-page map of the Xuangu Continent, and it's not worth much, if you want to give it to you. ”

"So good!" Zhou Yan stretched out his hand and took out the silver ticket, but at this moment, Li Nian'er said in a low voice, "Ye Gongzi, so much silver, I think it's better to forget it, how can I let Gongzi be so expensive, I'm trying to find a way to find ginseng for my father when I go back!"

"Miss Li's words are wrong, this ginseng is easy to find, but this thousand-year-old ginseng is only afraid that it is hard to find, how can it be so easy for you to find. At present, this thousand-year-old ginseng let me wait for it, naturally I can't let it go, it's nothing more than 20,000 taels of silver, if you can cure your father's illness, even if it is 100,000 taels, a million taels, what can you do!" Zhou Yan said magnificently.

Originally, Li Nian'er had feelings for Zhou Yan, but after hearing Zhou Yan's words, her heart was moved again, and her heart suddenly trembled again, and she hugged Zhou Yan. After Hu Rong and the others saw it, they laughed one after another, which made Zhou Yan extremely embarrassed, and then Zhou Yan slowly pushed Li Nian'er away.

"Miss Li, don't do this again in the future, this man and woman can't kiss, it's really not good to hug and hug in public!" Zhou Yan said with a red face.

Ye Gongzi, I don't mind, what do you mind!

This...... , Zhou Yan was speechless for a while, then turned his head and opened his mouth and said, "Here are 20,000 taels of silver tickets, senior, please bring the ginseng." ”

At this moment, three men and two women, and five young people walked towards Zhou Yan and the others without bringing a scarf from the market.

"Hehehe, this woman threw herself into her arms, this son still wanted to refuse, he was really cheap and behaved, it was really shameless!"

Zhou Yan turned around and found that it was actually two women talking about himself, because he said that he was two women, Zhou Yan thought that good men don't fight with women, so he didn't refute.

Zhou Yan continued to trade, and the old man handed the ginseng to Zhou Yan, but when the old man put away the broken map on the ground, among the five young men, one of the handsome and extraordinary sons with a beautiful face and a purple robe happened to notice this scene, and his face was instantly surprised.

"Wait, shopkeeper, dare to ask how much this map costs?" asked the purple-robed handsome man.

"Oh, do you mean this broken map?"

"Exactly, dare to ask how much the store sells?" asked the purple-robed handsome man.

"I'm sorry, but the old man has already given this map to this young man, so now this map is no longer the old man's belonging. ”

"Oh, this boy, dare to ask if you can cut your love, and I have bought this map with a lot of money!" said the purple-robed handsome man with his fists.

"Hehe, I'm sorry this son, this map has been attributed to the next, and there is no plan to sell this map at the moment. ”

"Childe, don't refuse to be so fast, and you are willing to pay a thousand taels of silver to buy, you see how it is!"

"I'm really sorry, I don't sell it!" Zhou Yan affirmed.

"Childe, can you consider it, if you think the price is not appropriate, I can add another 1,000 taels. ”

When the old man standing in the shop heard this, his face was shocked, the broken map he picked up unintentionally could be sold for such a high price, he really regretted giving this map to this young man just now, but now that he has given it away, he can't go back on his word!
