Chapter 18

Seeing Lu Xiaotian coming out, the yuan God of the old man in black robe was very happy and said, “good disciple, you finally came out. Please let me out. Even if I make cattle and horses for you, I will agree to any conditions.”

In the past few months, he can’t practice, no one speaks, only the white fog and the gravel on the ground. He can endure this kind of dry days, but his current state of Yuanshen will consume Shouyuan. This endless waiting can make people crazy. In recent months, Lu Xiaotian has tried many times. As long as he moves his mind, the wisps of fog will wrap and protect him. Without worries, Lu Xiaotian can face the old man in black calmly.

“Be a cow and a horse for me? I don’t have this life to suffer. Even those people who went into the canyon with you were killed by you. I dare not take this risk by this means.” Lu Xiaotian said.

“In the immortal world, the law of the jungle has been in force since ancient times. It’s common for monks to fight and kill each other for treasures. If I don’t kill them, they won’t let me go.” the old man in black sneered.

Lu Xiaotian lost his voice. “You really killed them!”

The black robed old man’s face was palpitating. He was so old and treacherous that he soon understood that Lu Xiaotian was setting his words. I have such an idea at a young age. If I didn’t have some poor qualifications, I’m afraid I would emerge sooner or later. It seems that blindly begging for him can’t play any role. Nine times out of ten, the boy won’t be fooled. He can only continue to find a way out of this cage.

Lu Xiaotian asked a few more questions, but when the old man in black realized that he had been cheated, he was silent, or ironically ridiculed him. Lu Xiaotian couldn’t help feeling annoyed. He was shocked when he heard that the old man in black had killed the other three people. He was speechless for a moment. He didn’t expect the old man to react so quickly. With only a few words of the old man in black robe, he can probably judge the danger of the fairy world. It seems that he should be more careful in the future, otherwise if he accidentally falls into someone else’s trap, it will be too late to repent.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian opened his eyes and saw the dense woods again. He rode on the back of the leopard and practiced while driving out. At the same time, he studied the method of controlling the little green ant according to the insect training chapter of animal training.

Half a month later, in a busy County, there were vendors selling bamboo, sugar gourd and mountain animal skin on both sides of the street. Lu Xiaotian, carrying a large backpack full of things, shuttled among the gentry, merchants and civilians. From time to time, he could see Jianghu giants with swords and strong clothes.

“Unexpectedly, Pingwu County is like this. It looks more lively than Qingzhu county.”

Lu Xiaotian looked at the pedestrians and the shops on the side of the street with interest. He stayed in the canyon for more than half a year and wandered in the mountains for several months without seeing a personal shadow. Now he is more or less excited to return to the busy market. According to his understanding, Pingwu County borders Qingzhu county. He came here by accident because he didn’t know the way in the deep mountains.

But soon his mood calmed down and he stood in front of a pharmacy. There was an antique and fragrant plaque on the pharmacy, on which was written miaozhitang. This is the fourth pharmacy he saw all the way, and the largest one. It should be able to give him a good price for his herbs.

There are three guys in their early twenties, an old doctor sitting on the hall and a ruddy fat bookkeeper. Lu Xiaotian came in, looked at several people and asked one of the taller guys, “can I buy Herbs in the store?”

“Our miaozhitang is the largest pharmacy in Pingwu County. Some ordinary herbs don’t look up to you. You little hairy child, what are you doing?”

There were several guests in the store. The waiter was greeting and waved impatiently. Most of the better herbs are in deep mountains and forests. This place is rarely visited. There are often fierce animals and snakes. Even some martial artists dare not enter easily. As for some common herbs in the periphery, miaozhitang has its own source of herbs, and it doesn’t like this kind of zero retail investors.

Lu Xiaotian frowned and took out a large yellow essence from the burden on his back. There were dozens of fine knots on it.

“Huangjing of more than 40 years!” the old doctor sitting in the hall is most sensitive to the herbs of the previous year. At a glance, he can see the uniqueness of this Huangjing. Although it is not the best, it is already a good herb.

“How much do you bid for this Polygonatum?” Lu Xiaotian asked.

“Little brother, it’s not easy. There are few yellow spirits in this year. I can offer you thirty Liang silver. What do you think?” the fat shopkeeper changed his face and said with a smile.

Lu Xiaotian didn’t answer. He put the Yellow essence away, turned and left.

“Wait a minute, if the little brother thinks the price is low, we can talk again.” the fat shopkeeper didn’t expect Lu Xiaotian to react like this. Seeing that he was going out of the door, he hurried to stop him.

“The bid is several percent lower than the market price, and most of the herbs for decades are in short supply. The shopkeeper does a good business.” Lu Xiaotian looked back at the fat shopkeeper. Just now he asked several pharmacies. How could he be so easily fooled.

“Little brother is a smart man. I’m sorry to be clumsy. Let’s say it’s a buy it now price, fifty Liang.” the fat shopkeeper quickly bowed and smiled.

It’s nearly two higher than expected. He’s still quite satisfied. He used to be a worker. He could only save two silver beans for several months. A yellow essence in front of him can sell at such a price. This money is enough for his family to live comfortably for decades.

Lu Xiaotian just wanted to promise, but suddenly he felt a faint aura coming from the backyard of miaozhitang. Its breath is exactly the same as Juqi pill. He couldn’t help but feel a jump in his heart. Yes, it must be the spirit grass used to refine Juqi pill.

“I don’t sell this Polygonatum.”

“Don’t sell? Why did you come to Miaozhi hall? Is it for entertainment?” the fat shopkeeper said with some displeasure on his face.

“It’s said that miaozhitang has a wide range of herbs. I need some eccentric herbs, so I want to exchange them with the shopkeeper. Since the Yellow essence is priced at 50 Liang silver to replace other herbs, I will refund more and make up less.”

Lu Xiaotian wandered around in the wild mountains for several months and couldn’t find the spirit grass again. At this time, he ran into it unexpectedly. Where can he miss it.

The fat shopkeeper’s face was a little Ji. “It’s so easy to say. What kind of herbal medicine do you want?”

Lu Xiaotian said, “this herb has a unique smell. I smell it. The shopkeeper doesn’t mind if I enter the backyard of miaozhitang.”

“No harm.” the fat shopkeeper nodded.

The backyard of miaozhitang is very open. There are many herbs to be dried, ground or baked. Dozens of people were busy. There was also a carriage from which two strong men were unloading the herbs.
