Los Angeles, the ancient capital of the old times, is interlaced with mountains, rivers and hills.

Zhou Ran didn't expect that he would finally come here, this thousand-year-old city mentioned in the cowhide bag.

In the past few days, Zhou Ran has the heart to escape many troubles outside, he holds "Mountains and Seas and Everything" unhurriedly walking in the mountains and dense forests, from time to time teasing the birds and beasts he encounters, including owls, falcons, sparrows, and spotted tigers, black bears, leopards, jackals, wolves, leopards...... The most dangerous thing is the wild boar king, from a distance, it looks like a smaller wild elephant, it can already be regarded as a foreign beast, even if it cultivates a true yuan Ning Yuan realm, it is best to run for his life after encountering it.

Zhou Ran originally planned to let go of the wild boar king with the cub, but after seeing a medicine picker almost killed by the wild boar king, he immediately changed his mind and secretly helped the medicine picker escape for his life and slaughtered the wild boar king with his own hands.

In the next few days, Zhou Ran encountered several waves of herb pickers, and also saw them besieged by wild beasts, but he didn't come forward, and still secretly helped those people escape for their lives.

Except for the boar king, he didn't kill any other beasts.

After studying in Sioux City for two years, Zhou Ran still knows the four words of ecological balance!

Zhou Ran, who was penniless, also picked a few old medicine trees that were quite old when he came out of the mountains.

"Son, what's in the bag, show me?"

As soon as Zhou Ran came out of the mountain, an old man with yellow teeth came forward, staring at the cloth bag in his hand with his eyes.

A few slightly younger middle-aged men next to him laughed, and one of them pointed to the old man and said, "Old man Yue, don't you miss it?" ”

"You know a ball!"

The old man glanced at the man angrily, turned his head and looked at Zhou Ran with a smile, raised his hand and grabbed Zhou Ran's arm: "Child, at this age, it is impossible for the uncle to lose you, show it to the uncle." ”

As he spoke, the old man was about to grab the cloth bag in Zhou Ran's hand.

Zhou Ran just wanted to avoid it, but the old man suddenly grabbed his other arm, and immediately a soft energy came from the arm that was grabbed, and almost in the blink of an eye, the whole arm felt a slight numbness, and even half of his body seemed to be about to lose control.

"Son, let's go to the side. ”

The old man said with a smile as he pulled Zhou Ran to a secluded place.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, the old man's gaze was immediately unkind, he pointed to the cloth bag in Zhou Ran's hand, and even the inauthentic Luocheng accent changed, and asked in a low voice: "Boy, where did this cloth bag come from?"

Zhou Ran looked at the person who spoke with a smile, and then moved the true yuan slightly, shaking away the hand that was holding his arm.

The old man retreated in surprise and said vigilantly: "Who are you?"

Zhou Ran threw the bag to the ground, pulled it away with his foot, pointed to a few old medicines and two sharp fangs of arm length in the bag, looked at the old man fiercely and said: "I don't care who you are, since you pulled the master here, you have collected all these things for the master, as for this cloth bag, you will give it to you if you like it." ”

The old man stared at the two fangs for a while, then looked at Zhou Ran and said uncertainly, "Is it the wild boar king?"

Zhou Ran didn't answer, and urged: "The master still has something, hurry up and make a price!"

The old man glanced at Zhou Ran with a strange expression, then squatted down and picked up the old medicine in the cloth bag one by one, and finally took the two fangs in his hand and took a closer look.

After having an approximate estimate in his heart, the old man pointed to the things on the ground and confirmed, "You really want to sell it?"

Zhou Ran clasped his hands around his chest, and said impatiently: "Where is there so much nonsense, the master's time is very precious, tell me how much it is!"

"Forgive the old man for being clumsy, please forgive the little brother for the previous offense. ”

The old man stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Old Han Yue Nanhe, now the head of the Luocheng Branch of Baicaotang, I don't know what to call the little brother?"

"Hey, who do you care who I am?"

Zhou Ran said unhappily: "Hurry up and make a price, otherwise don't blame the master for being polite!"

Yue Nanhe smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Little brother may not know, this cloth bag is my Baicaotang's lichen bag, generally only people in Baicaotang have it, I don't know where the little brother came from?"

"Picked it up!"

Zhou Ran changed his face and said angrily: "I said you are not finished?"

Yue Nanhe's eyes rolled, and sure enough, he stopped talking nonsense, and directly reported a number: "Three hundred thousand." ”

"300,000?"

Zhou Ran stretched out his hand and said, "Take the money!"

From the suburbs of Beijing all the way over the mountains to Los Angeles, Zhou Ran found a lot of high-grade old medicines. In several places where fierce beasts gathered, he had also seen two rare medicinal herbs that had been cultivated for thousands of years. However, he is not a medicine picker, and in the dense area of Mirror Lake, although the thousand-year-old best medicinal materials are not common, there are also a lot, so those two medicinal materials are not very precious to him. If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have any money, he wouldn't even bring out these Chinese products.

A few old medicines that are not of medium grade can be bought for 35,000 yuan together, which is enough for Zhou Ran.

The most valuable thing is the two fangs of the boar king!

Every once in a while, the Blood Army would sweep away the beasts within hundreds of miles around Dingjun Mountain, and their fangs, ears, or tails were generally exchanged for military merits. Therefore, the two fangs that were broken off from the mouth of the wild boar king were completely caused by Zhou Ran's occupational disease, and he didn't expect to meet an old man from Ning Yuan Realm when he walked out of the mountain, and he was still a knowledgeable person.

Among the three super armies, the fangs of the alien beasts can be exchanged for military merits, and military merits can buy many precious things from the military vault that are not available outside.

"The head of the Los Angeles branch is actually a master of the Ning Yuan Realm, this Baicao Hall is a little interesting. ”

Zhou Ran didn't feel that he had only been in the mountains for a few days, and the masters of the Ning Yuan Realm were worthless outside.

But soon, he realized that he still underestimated Baicaotang.

The yellow-toothed old man who claimed to be Yue Nanhe didn't take out the cash or say anything, but directly threw over three cyan crystal cards that Zhou Ran had never seen before.

Zhou Ran looked at the three crystal cards back and forth a few times, and finally frowned: "What is this?"

The person in front of him didn't know the five-color crystal card of Baicaotang, which obviously surprised Yue Nanhe, but he put away the expression on his face very well, and explained with a smile: "This is my unique green card of Baicaotang, the green card is bearer, each one is worth 100,000, you can go to any bank to exchange it for cash at any time." ”

"Any bank will do?"

"Any bank will do!"

Yue Nanhe said with certainty, and then said: "If the little brother doesn't believe it, the old man can take you to the bank to exchange it for cash." ”

"No need!"

Zhou Ran shook his head and said, it was not that he really believed Yue Nanhe's words, but that he didn't think that a Ning Yuan Realm master would cheat people because of this money, he put away the green card and pointed to the things on the ground and said, "Yours." ”

Yue Nanhe didn't care about the things on the ground, and asked Zhou Ran again: "Little brother, I don't know if I can tell the old man if the owner of this cloth bag has ......."

"When I saw him, he wasn't dead. ”

After Zhou Ran finished speaking, he strode away.

Zhou Ran entered a local bank in Los Angeles, and after showing his green card, the person in charge of the bank quickly came forward in person and exchanged 100,000 cash for Zhou Ran, with a very polite attitude, and even a little flattering and fearful.

Zhou Ran didn't believe it, and went to two provincial banks.

The attitude and reaction of these two companies are almost the same as those of the first one.

After exchanging cash from three banks, Zhou Ran turned around and entered two large national banks and bought two green cards with cash.

Exchange green cards for cash, 100,000 yuan per green card.

Buy green cards in cash, 110,000 yuan per green card.

"What is the background of this Hundred Grass Hall?"

Outside the bank, Zhou Ran held two green cards in his hand and pondered.

This kind of medicinal herb store recognized by even national banks must have a great origin, and there is a branch of Baicaotang in Los Angeles, why hasn't he heard of the existence of Baicaotang in the two years he has lived in Sioux City?

Zhou Ran temporarily stayed in a small hotel near Los Angeles High School, on the one hand, he wanted to see what the Baicaotang was, and more importantly, to find the people mentioned in the cowhide bag. The reason why he chose to be near Los Angeles High School was because he also wanted to see up close what would happen to the first class of high school juniors after the implementation of the "All Soldiers Program".

Los Angeles is mountainous, rich in medicinal herbs, and there are many people who collect medicines.

A few days later, Zhou Ran also became a member of the army of medicine pickers.

Zhou Ran would go into the mountains every few days, and he wouldn't grab food from ordinary people who only dared to collect medicine on the periphery, but he wouldn't go too deep into the mountains either. And at a time, he only dug up a few ordinary medicinal herbs and went back, and sold them to drug dealers.

There are many medicine pickers and drug dealers in Los Angeles, and Wang Jia's father is one of them.

Before the physical fitness class appeared, Wang Jia would go into the mountains with a few good classmates to collect medicine whenever he had time, which was normal in Los Angeles. And now, Wang Jia is tired like a dead dog almost every day, and it is impossible to go into the mountains to collect medicine like before, but he still comes to the pharmacy every night to help his father.

After going back and forth, Zhou Ran met this peer who was in his third year of high school at Los Angeles High School.

"I thought you weren't coming tonight. ”

It wasn't until the pharmacy was about to close that Wang Jia waited for Zhou Ran, who had already made an appointment with him.

However, when Zhou Ran took out a few medicinal herbs from his bag, his attention was immediately attracted.

Wang Jia carefully took the old medicines handed over by Zhou Ran and put them on the table one by one, envious and a little surprised at the same time, he asked Zhou Ran: "You kid won't go to Baitou Mountain, right?"

The old medicine that Zhou Ran got back this time was similar to the one he sold to Yue Nanhe that day, this kind of old medicine that was not uncommon in Baicaotang, but ordinary drug dealers rarely had the opportunity to receive it. The Baitou Mountain mentioned by Wang Jia is a place known to all the medicine pickers in Los Angeles, and many medicine pickers know that there are many old medicines in that mountain, but there are more fierce beasts. As long as the family is not too short of money, few people are willing to risk going there.

"Master was lucky today and found these in a small pit. ”

Zhou Ran had been in Los Angeles for nearly a decade and had heard the name of the Baektu Mountain, but he had never been there. Now he didn't dare to use his divine thoughts easily, lest the cracks that had finally appeared in the dantian qi sea be blocked again, but it would be no obstacle to casually unfold the power of divine thoughts for ten meters and twenty meters.

Within the scope of divine thoughts, everything could not escape Zhou Ran's attention.

He relied on his divine thoughts to find these old medicines growing in that small pit.

"Wait, I'll ask my dad to come and have a look. ”

Wang Canon, an ordinary medicinal material, is in charge, and this kind of old medicine worth five figures still has to be seen by his father Wang Sihong himself.

Wang Sihong was pushed out by Wang Jin in a wheelchair, he first smiled silently at Zhou Ran, and then began to pass the old medicine one by one, looking at the shape and smell, meticulous.

Thirty-seven thousand six, this is the price offered by Wang Sihong, and Zhou Ran has no objections.

After finishing Zhou Ran's business, the Wang family and his son closed the store.

After Wang Jia helped his father clean up the store, he took Zhou Ran to the barbecue restaurant at the intersection.

Wang Jia cleaned up a table for Zhou Ran to sit down, turned around and asked the owner of the barbecue restaurant, "Uncle Zuo, are you okay?"

Uncle Zuo, who was still wearing sunglasses at night, was busy in front of the barbecue: "In the kitchen, go and serve it yourself." ”

"Okay!"

Wang Jia smiled and said to Zhou Ran: "I asked Uncle Zuo to help get the good things, you wait here first!"

After speaking, Wang Jia trotted into the back kitchen of the barbecue restaurant.
