"Lao Li, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are full of red light today, it seems that you picked good herbs from Huaguo Mountain, right?"

"Brother Deng, I'm smiling, I've only picked a few common one-grain spirit grasses, which are not worth a few spirit stones. ”

"That's good. After all, you also have to have good luck in picking up the leftovers. ”

"Indeed, I won't disturb Brother Deng's cultivation. Next time, the brothers found a restaurant to have a few drinks to satisfy their cravings. ”

"That's daring, it's just that Lao Li broke the bank. ”

"Well, let's talk back. The younger brother said goodbye first. ”

"See you later. ”

At noon, this man in Tsing Yi, who was less than forty years old and named Li Jing, smiled secretly in his heart: "Hmph, Lao Tzu, I'm going to make a windfall today, but the wealth can't be exposed, and it's just inconvenient to tell you."

A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and at a junction at the edge of Huaguo Mountain, he exchanged two or three polite words with Deng Daoyou, who was not very familiar with him, and hurried towards Kangcheng County with a storage bag that was not too swollen.

Kangcheng, referred to as "Kang", was known as "Kangzhou" in ancient times, and is a county under the jurisdiction of the state under the Hongxing Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty.

Located on the eastern coast of the Chilan Continent and northeast of Hongxing Prefecture, Kangcheng has two well-known scenic spots: Huaguo Mountain and Kang Island.

Cannes is a city where mountains, seas, ports and cities embrace each other, and is known as "the first scenic spot in the East China Sea".

The scenery here is beautiful, the environment is beautiful, there is a large area of coastal wetlands and marine tidal flats in Hongxing Prefecture, the territory of the Yu Canal, the ecological fishery is developed, and it has enjoyed the name of "the land of fish and rice" since ancient times.

Since the flood and famine, the martial arts cultivation atmosphere in the countries of the human race has always been strong, and the various major sects have seized to open sects in the places where the immortal yuan aura is depressed.

Because of the Shenshan Huaguo Mountain and the famous island Kang Island, Kangcheng, such a small county town, with a population of only about 200,000 people, has more than 10 large and small sects taking root and developing here, with more than 10,000 disciples, which is quite spectacular.

Monks are like immortals, often live a long life, can fly to the sky, move mountains and seas, turn stones into gold, omnipotent, which really stimulates ordinary people to cultivate the truth, and take pride in the cultivation of the truth in their families, the so-called "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven".

For this reason, the business related to martial arts cultivation has also risen with the wind and water, basically concentrated in the area of Tiantian Road in the county seat, which is mainly for the sale and purchase of heavenly treasures, talismans, and elixirs, and the Hongyun business is very good, with 800 years of time-honored brand, 25 generations of inheritance, with "complete variety, quality and price", famous far and near.

Heaven Road is full of traffic, people come and go on the street, Li Jing stands, looks up at the magnificent three-story shop in front of him, stares deeply at the four huge gold paint characters "Hongyun Commercial Bank", his heart is a little high-spirited, and his tongue can't help licking the corners of his mouth.

He straightened his clothes a little and walked in.

At this time, there were few customers in the empty hall on the first floor of Hongyun Commercial Bank, and the three or two shopkeepers were chatting.

Li Jing came to a counter at random, took out all kinds of herbs from the storage bag, and said to a thin and seemingly capable male shopkeeper: "Brother, I have a few herbs I want to sell, please make a price."

The male slim shop Xiao Er was also embarrassed to be lazy, so he continued to chat, then picked it up, checked them one by one, and quickly quoted the price: "Three one-grain psyllium, one lower-grade spirit stone, eight two-grain money rush grass, three lower-grade spirit stones, twelve one-grain seven-star grass, three lower-grade spirit stones, two two-grain Garan grass, four lower-grade spirit stones, a total of eleven lower-grade spirit stones." ”

"What, these are only eleven pieces?" Li Jing was shocked, and couldn't help shouting: "Brother, if you take a closer look, these two Jialan grasses are definitely not ordinary Jialan grasses, and they are definitely more than just four pieces?"

"I looked at it again and again, it's just ordinary Jialan grass, why isn't it ordinary? Besides, I've also been in Hongyun Trading House for four or five years, and I've handled countless spiritual grasses, how could I miss my eyes today!"

“......”

In the originally quiet hall, the two of them shouted so casually, which attracted the attention of others.

The two shopkeepers next to them also came over, and also picked up Li Jing's garan grass and took a rough look, and talked to each other a few times, but they all agreed with the male slim shop's junior errand: "This guest, we have all seen it, it is really an ordinary garan grass, and the price is like this." ”

"No way. ”

"You must be mistaken. Li Jing still felt that the two two-striped garan grasses in his hand were not the common ones, but he couldn't say what the difference was.

"This guest, it's not easy for you to pick herbs in the wild, so it's better to do this. A fat female shopkeeper has been at the counter for ten years and has rich experience, so she glanced at Li Jing and became a "peacemaker" to make a round.

"Either you sell the herbs except the Garan Grass to our store first, take seven spirit stones, and find another place to sell the Garan Grass, or simply take them all to the open-air Spirit Material Bazaar at the end of the Immortal Alley to set up a stall and sell them, or go to the Immortal Grass Hall diagonally opposite to have a look. ”

Xiancaotang is a very small local sect of cultivation, and its outer stores have been purchasing all kinds of spiritual herbs and herbs for many years, but the price is low, the highest is only four-fifths of Hongyun, and the purchase price of most spiritual herbs is only half or half of Hongyun.

I used to set up a stall in the open-air spiritual material bazaar to sell, and I knew that it was good to sell at a free price, but the problem was that I couldn't sell a single herb for a month or two.

For Li Jing, who wanted to make quick money, the latter was not an ideal plan, since people were interested, give a step to let him go down, no matter how reasonable he was, it was not good to be arrogant and make trouble, and say more angry words.

After all, it is not fun to offend people out of thin air and be banned by Hongyun Commercial Bank.

"Okay, then I'll sell the other herbs first. ”

After weighing it repeatedly in his heart, after calming down, Li Jing lowered his head and said to the female fat shopkeeper.

"Okay, skinny horse, you follow up and deal with it", the female fat shop Xiao Er turned around and ordered the male thin shop Xiao Er to take over.

"Okay, fat sister. ”

The thin horse, who was angry in his heart, accepted a few flavors of Li Jing's herbs with a bad face, hastily recorded them, and took out a few spirit stones to pay.

"Brother, thank you. ”

Li Jing was also in a bad mood to pick up the spirit stones, and after a little tidying up the garan grass, he walked out of the store without looking back.

"Oh, I'm sorry. ”

In a moment, at the door of the commercial bank, Li Jing, who had been bowing his head, almost bumped into someone.

This blue-robed middle-aged man with a fat body, thick thighs, and a round face, holding a richly decorated birdcage in his right hand, looked at Li Jing with a smile, and couldn't tell whether he was angry or easy-going at this time.

"Yo, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Ding, I'm sorry just now, I almost bumped into your old age. Li Jing quickly apologized and said goodbye.

"It's okay, I don't care. It turned out to be Xiao Li, you, who came to my store to sell herbs again?"

Ding shopkeeper, is the owner of Hongyun Commercial Bank, Ding Qi, is also the twenty-fifth generation of the commercial bank, and is also the current head of the Ding family.

Li Jing also used to patronize Hongyun Commercial Bank, so he was somewhat familiar with Ding Qi, the shopkeeper of Ding.

"Shopkeeper Ding, I still have two two-patterned garan grasses here, I want you to raise your noble hand and make an eye" Li Jing couldn't help but think of the herb that was related to the windfall, so he handed it to Ding Qi to see.

Ding Qi took the garan grass, looked at it roughly, and then said the answer: "Xiao Li, I see, this is just an ordinary two-pattern garan grass, nothing special." ”

"No, it's not just any two-striped garan," said a man outside the door.
