Chapter 69: Small Stalls

Within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there are thirteen large immortal veins and nearly 100 small and medium-sized immortal veins. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The so-called immortal veins are indirectly evolved after a pure qi left in the body sank to the ground when the monk attained the Tao and ascended to immortality.

Therefore, in every immortal vein, there is an extremely rich essence of heaven and earth.

And all the plants and trees that grow around it can be nourished by the aura of the immortal veins, so that they can quickly break away from the mortal body and transform into essence.

After being eaten by the monks in the form of cooking, these spirits that evolved from vegetation were able to absorb all the essence of heaven and earth contained in their bodies and transform them into their own use.

And the level of aura in the monk's body was raised in an instant.

On the other hand, the selling price of these plant spirits growing near the immortal veins is also extremely expensive.

Even if it is just an extremely ordinary old mountain ginseng, after being nourished by the essence of the immortal vein, its price will immediately jump dozens of times on the original basis.

This alone can raise a city to be extremely rich.

Jianzhou Castle, located on a fairy vein in the south of Qiyao Mountain, is a seaside city that has gradually developed to an extremely prosperous city by selling grass and tree spirits.

In addition to relying on the grass and tree spirits excavated from the fairy veins in exchange for a large amount of money, the people who live in the city will also go to the nearby sea to salvage seafood on weekdays.

With the gradual development of time, the living standards of the people in Kenshu Castle have gradually climbed to a level comparable to that of Kyoto.

And this also made the temper of the people in the city gradually become strange, and between their words and deeds, they all revealed a strong smell of copper.

This point really disgusted many passers-by who passed through Jianzhou City, but because of their weak net worth, many people just smiled helplessly at the behavior of the residents, but for the prominent Seven Elders, they did not take it into account in the slightest, so that after Liu Yi and the others just entered Jianzhou City, a nameless fire immediately surged in the hearts of the Seven Elders, and their languishing eyes involuntarily scanned the surrounding environment, and after a long time, they said angrily:" Don't look at this city is very prosperous, but the quality of these people is really poor. ”

"Master, don't worry about this, anyway, we're just here to buy some tools, and we'll leave soon. Glancing at the angry charm that was on the cheeks of the Seventh Elder at the moment, Liu Yi laughed helplessly, then raised his hand to Bai Hai beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Bai Hai, I see that there is a shop in front of me, let's go over and see if there are any suitable tools for you, buy some." ”

Hearing this, Bai Hai took the opportunity to cast his gaze to the end of the street not far away, and then, a shop selling ironware gradually came into his eyes, and his indifferent face slowly became a lot more excited, and then he no longer had any hesitation, and took the lead in walking in the direction of the store.

The current Seventh Elder did not immediately follow, but led Liu Yi to a small and inconspicuous stall nearby.

The sluggish gaze casually glanced at the surface of the goods placed on the stall, and suddenly, a strange charm gradually filled his eyes, and after a little hesitation, the seventh elder slowly squatted down, pointed to a cargo in front of him that looked like a beast's tooth, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, how much is this thing?"

As soon as the words in the mouth of the seventh elder settled, the stall owner glanced at the other party with extreme contempt, and after a sneer was provoked at the corner of his mouth, he snorted lightly and said nonchalantly: "This thing is the cheapest in the entire stall, the price, fifty taels of silver." ”

At the moment when the price in the stall owner's mouth floated out, Liu Yi's face standing in front of the stall suddenly became a lot more surprised, his mouth opened a little wider involuntarily, and after a little hesitation, he said in a low voice: "A broken tooth is worth fifty taels of silver, are you kidding?"

The boss, who didn't have a good impression of the two people in front of the stall, after hearing the words in Liu Yi's mouth, the contemptuous charm on his cheeks became a little stronger again, and then after sneering, he responded casually: "People who don't have the eyesight to see don't understand anything, and they're embarrassed to talk nonsense here." ”

"Haha, boss, it's normal for my apprentice to be young and not knowledgeable, but can you explain to me the origin of this thing, don't worry, after you finish speaking, I will buy it immediately, and I will never bargain." As he spoke, the Seventh Elder's fiery palm slowly swirled around his waist, and suddenly, a fist-sized silver ingot suddenly appeared in his palm.

The surface of the silver ingot, which reflected a silver-white luster reflected in the sunlight, swept the surface, and then a long-lost indifferent smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and after raising his eyebrows lightly, the stall owner chuckled and explained: "Actually, I won't go into details, this guest officer should have roughly guessed the origin of this thing, hehe, that's right, this thing was salvaged from the East China Sea near us, although it looks like an ordinary tooth, but its owner is not ordinary." ”

"Where did you find it in the East China Sea?" Hearing this, the Seventh Elder's eyes blinked involuntarily, and his gaze was tightly locked on the stall owner in front of him, and the seriousness that gradually swept out from his cheeks made Liu Yi, who had to stand beside him, feel a faint sense of surprise.

"If you want to know the exact location near a reef in the East China Sea, you can only go to the sea and see it yourself. After that, the stall owner no longer had any words, but slowly stretched out his palm and made an ugly gesture of demand.

Seeing this, the Seventh Elder smiled indifferently, and then with a slight force on his arm, he threw the silver ingot clenched in his palm into the other party's hand: "Boss, thank you for the news." ”

After saying a casual word, the Seventh Elder left the stall with Liu Yi beside him, and walked straight towards the ironware shop at the end of the street.

As he walked, Liu Yi looked at the strange teeth that were staring at the eyes of the Seventh Elder with a surprised face, and after a long time, he turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Master, isn't this thing just an ordinary tooth? Why is it so expensive? Besides, even if it's expensive, you actually bought it?"

"Boy, you don't understand, although this tooth looks ordinary, its owner is not an ordinary thing, you will know it later. With that, the palm of the Seventh Elder's clenched teeth slowly swirled around his waist, and after a moment, the tooth that had been purchased at a high price disappeared from his palm like a ghost.

...

Not long after, the figures of Liu Yi and the Seven Elders gradually stagnated at the door of the ironware shop.

The two pairs of eyes looked at it casually, and after this shop with ordinary goods but extraordinarily gorgeous decoration, the two of them smiled indifferently, and then walked in with a steady step.

The moment the two of them entered the shop, a burly man not far away who was selecting iron tools immediately beckoned to the two of them and said in a loud voice, "Senior, Brother Liu Yi." ”

Hearing this, the Seven Elders' gaze was projected onto the burly man's body, but he didn't stay for long, and gradually moved it to the surface of the iron weapon he was holding in his hand.

After a little scrutiny, a touch of contempt gradually emerged from the corners of his wine-scented mouth: "Eh, a layman, a layman is a layman after all." ”

The figure gradually stopped in front of the burly man, and the Seventh Elder slowly stretched out his fiery palm, and used his fingers to gently tap the iron weapon in the opponent's hand, and suddenly, a melodious crisp sound came out from the inside, and lingered in this slightly small shop for a long time.

Although this sound didn't sound anything unusual, under the keen hearing of the Seventh Elder and Liu Yi, they gradually found some clues from inside.

"I said Bai Hai, you are also a person who has dug up a lot of small immortal mounds, why are you so bad at selecting tools?" patting the shoulder of the burly man in front of him, the Seventh Elder sighed helplessly, and then teased softly in a deliberately lowered voice.

As the person who excavated the immortal mound, the four items of "looking, hearing, asking, and cutting" used in medicine were skillfully applied to the excavation mound under their transformation.

And this so-called "smell" represents extremely keen hearing, some people are born with keen hearing, but some people need hard training in the later stage to be able to obtain.

Some experienced grave diggers can roughly estimate the topographical distribution inside the immortal mound just by standing on top of the immortal mound, relying on a breath of wind flowing from the mound.

And the hearing that had just been displayed from the bodies of the Seventh Elder and Liu Yi could tell the quality of the iron in a crisp sound.

"Senior, what do you mean by this? Bai Hai doesn't understand!" was a little surprised by the words in the mouth of the Seventh Elder, and now Bai Hai looked at the Seventh Elder beside him with a helpless face, and after a long time, he whispered a little innocently.

"Hey, it seems that you haven't mastered too many things over the years, hehe, let me ask you, when you were digging the immortal mound, you always encountered the situation that the tools could not smoothly penetrate the stone layer inside the mound, or was the tool too soft, and even the soil layer in the mound could not be broken through?"

"That's right, how do you know?" The eyes were filled with surprise and the charm was a little stronger again, Bai Hai's eyes widened a little involuntarily, his throat rolled a little, and he asked rhetorically.

"How do I know? Because I can see at a glance from the iron in your hand that this kind of iron-like blue rock, although it is similar in appearance to iron, its essence is very different, and I believe this, the boss should know very well. After that, the Seventh Elder's gaze was projected onto the shopkeeper on the side, and the strange charm that gradually flowed out of his gaze made the shopkeeper's face a little ugly.
