Chapter 39: Everything Goes Smoothly
Everything went smoothly and quickly, it felt like the little paper boat was moving faster than ever before. Good luck is on our side, even the heavens are helping us out.
Just now on the way, a scorching sun was shining on a thin man who was driving a boat with all his might, sweating profusely. Against the strong wind, he climbed up the slope, carrying an old ox that was on its last breath. The scene was so miserable that it seemed as if a thunderbolt would fall from the sky at any moment and kill him halfway.
It's a good time to set sail with the wind, carrying golden cowpea and self-made linked talismans. Should I have a drink tonight? No! There's still an auction tomorrow morning. Can't I just drink less? Drinking less is fine. Yuan Tian struggled inwardly, deciding to drink less after all. This spirit stone hasn't even been obtained yet, but he's already thinking about how to spend it.
Niu Huang is such a good thing, it must be sold in a big pharmacy. Qi Cuo Ge is not small either, but after all, it's just a grocery store. The enthusiastic thin guy on the second floor doesn't handle medicinal products, otherwise, he could have helped estimate a good price. Yuan Tian was calculating with an abacus, thinking about how to sell it at a good price.
Hiss. The top of his head was shrouded in a piece of darkness, what's going on, is it going to rain? Just arrived at the edge of the trading market, he looked up.
Not dark clouds, but the crimson-colored large painting boat that made Yuan Tian's eyes red countless times. Still beautiful, still so enchanting. The flower patterns on it are really good-looking, I really want to touch and see.
Suddenly! A seven-colored light burst forth, shining so brightly that the eyes of the people below, who were looking up in awe, narrowed.
Showing off! Must be intentional showing off! Specifically going to crowded places to show off, this behavior is too shameful. Hmm! Isn't this direction heading towards the Bai Cui Lou? Brother, you've brought so many female cultivators and still want to go to the Bai Cui Lou?
I don't know if Fang Yin will compete with the owner of this painting boat for female cultivators and get jealous. Thinking of the many pink flowers inserted on his head, and that weird Star Brother. Today may have a good show to watch, unfortunately, Yuan Tian is not free to go, first go sell Bezoar, and the capital is tight now.
After all these years, the situation in the trading market is basically understood. The largest pharmacy in this area is Baicao Pavilion. Although its name is Baicao, there are actually thousands of kinds of medicinal herbs in the store. Not only are there herbal medicines and rare fruits, but also demon pills and beast bones for sale.
Two young medicine boys stood in front of the Baicao Studio, wearing a grey robe that made them look quite mature despite their young age. When they saw Yuan Tian arrive, they hurried forward to greet him.
"Welcome, sir. What would you like to buy? Our store has everything." The medicine boy on the left saw the waist card of this thin man at a glance, an outer door disciple of Tianyuan Sword Sect.
Although the Baicao Inn's background, Yao Wang Valley, is a medium-sized sect with more power than the current Tianyuan Sword Sect, it's still necessary to show some courtesy when opening a shop on someone else's turf.
"How much is the cow gall in your store?" Yuan Tian didn't mention selling it, first asking about the price to avoid being cheated when selling.
"Niu Huang is on the second floor. You can go up directly and there will be someone to introduce you." The medicine boy made a welcoming gesture, letting Yuan Tian enter the door.
Glancing over the medicines on the first floor, they were all herbal, with both primary and secondary ones. There were not many people in front of the counter grabbing medicine, but business was still pretty good. Niuhuang belongs to animal crystal class, so it is arranged on the second floor.
The stairs are quite exquisite, like a living vine plant. I don't know what method was used to make it grow like the stairs. One step at a time, just right for people to walk on.
It's really rich! A staircase is made so exquisite, it seems that making medicine is indeed profitable. This skinny guy, seeing whatever makes money, his eyes turn red. Touching the glossy rattan handrail, treading on the solid natural steps, like a rustic bumpkin who just entered the city.
"What do you need?" Just looking at the stairs, didn't notice already on the second floor. A round-faced pharmacy boy smiled and looked at Yuan Tian.
He's quite cheerful, just now he was touching and stepping on it, he should have seen it. Hehe, I won't be laughing at me, will I? My face is a bit embarrassed now, but fortunately my skin is thick and can't see the redness.
"Cough, let's take a look at the cow yellow. What kind of quality is your cow yellow here? Give me a quote." Yuan Tian tried to put on a rich man's demeanor, afraid that others would see that he didn't have any money.
"Please come in, our store has clear prices." The round-faced medicine boy lifted the curtain and made a welcoming gesture, still with a smiling face, seemingly born to be so festive.
The second floor has everything, including deer antler, tiger bone, dog treasure, and horse treasure. Next to the horse treasure is cow bezoar, which is really expensive. One liang costs ten low-grade ling stones, and one tael costs a hundred ling stones.
This piece of cow yellow jade in his hand is probably over half a catty, it seems that it can be sold for more than 500 ling stones. Even if it's purchased, it won't be less than 300 ling stones.
No! The cow gallstones displayed here are just ordinary yellowish-brown. Judging from the color, they are absolutely inferior to my own golden cow gallstone. Let's ask around and see what the price difference is.
"Is this cow gallbladder only ordinary? Do you have the golden kind?" Yuantian asked, approaching a middle-aged man standing at the counter.
This is the second floor manager of Baicao Pavilion, with more power than ordinary shop assistants. He was naturally more astute and had already guessed eight or nine out of ten about the skinny man's words and deeds.
"Golden cow gallbladder is relatively rare, and we've been out of stock recently. If you have some, you can actually sell it to us." This remark went straight to the point, worthy of a seasoned shopkeeper with plenty of experience and sharp eyesight.
"Hmm" Yuan Tian also knew he had been seen through, and that he was actually here to sell cow bezoar.
"This is the cow bezoar, name a price." He didn't say any more, took out his own piece and handed it to the shopkeeper. Also, intentionally or unintentionally, he made the outer disciple's waist card more obvious, afraid of being cheated.
"Alright, I'll weigh it first." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the half-palm-sized cow bezoar radiating a golden glow.
The shopkeeper weighed it carefully, and Yuan Tian also stared at the scale bar. Six taels heavy, not more or less, exactly six taels.
"Eight middle-grade spirit stones, what do you think?" The shopkeeper made a gesture with his hand, looking at the skinny man opposite him with a negotiating gaze.
Yuántiān's mind was racing, ordinary cow yellow one hundred low-grade spirit stones two taels. Six taels should be the selling price of six medium-grade spirit stones, and the purchase price must be lower than this number. His own golden cow yellow, six taels for eight medium-grade spirit stones, still not a bad deal.
"Hmm! It's okay, I'll sell it to you since your store is so big." Yuan Tian tried not to show his excitement, in case the other person noticed.
Eight hundred low-grade spirit stones, I've never been so rich before. How to spend it well? Need to buy a new set of clothes, the last black long shirt was destroyed, what a pity, it looked good.
He took over eight medium-grade spirit stones and concentrated on the Qiankun bag. Yuan Tian swaggered out, looking like a rich master. He didn't even give Zhang a VIP card, it seemed that this cow yellow was not considered a particularly rare treasure for such a large store.
"Welcome in, sir!" A shop assistant at the entrance of the armor store greeted warmly.
Can you tell that I'm rich now? Why are you being so enthusiastic this time, the ribs are from my good feeling. No more nonsense, let's go straight to the counter where I bought clothes last time.
Wow! There's a set of clothes that looks very similar to the previous style, hanging in the original position. It's very similar but with some differences, and after careful observation by Yuan Tian, he still found the difference.
"With a discerning eye, this set is newly delivered. It's the same style as the one you bought last time, but with better materials and more exquisite workmanship." This was also the same fellow who served the pork ribs last time, and he recognized him at once. He's so thin and has such a distinctive appearance that it would be hard not to recognize him.
"This new garment also has water-repellent capabilities and its defensive power has increased by more than double."
"These boots have also been enhanced with Galeforce, increasing speed by 30%."
"This glove is specially introduced for you, not only retaining the function of rowing water, but also increasing the effect of fire prevention and heat insulation."
This fellow, last time was chatted by Yuan Tian to the lowest price and bought the clothes. He went back and reflected on his pain, bitterly practicing his mouth skills. This time, he introduced a bunch of benefits of these clothes with a rattling sound like a machine gun.
"Defense doubled up but still too weak. It's all because of the clothes from your store, I almost died during the level challenge."
"And these boots, I have to activate the formation first when accelerating. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been hit by the fireball long ago."
"How can the gloves be fireproof and heat-insulated now? What happened to them earlier? Wasn't it a defective product you sold me last time? Luckily I didn't wear them when I came into contact with fire, or my hands would have been burned and I'd hold you responsible."
This guy's talk about the origin of spare ribs is quite convincing, and his eloquence was actually learned from the aunties at the vegetable market back in China.
"Don't be angry, sir. If you've taken a liking to this set of clothes, our store will offer it to you at a discounted price." The shopkeeper took one look at the situation and quickly came over to bail out his assistant.
"How much for the Ling Stone? I don't want it if it's expensive. This thin dress, with this strange style, is just right for me to wear." Yuan Tian patted his own small waist, looking very proud of himself.
"One hundred low-grade spirit stones, I'll sell it to you at cost price. The material of this set of clothes is indeed not cheap." The shopkeeper didn't lie, the material used for this dress was quite good. Unfortunately, it's just too niche, a bit thin and the clothes have some elasticity, maybe female cultivators can wear it. But the swallowtail design and the hood design are really headache-inducing. However, thinking about the person who made the clothes, I don't dare to offend them, so I must put it on sale."
"Wrap it up, I'm in a hurry and don't have time to chat with you." Yuan Tian was pleased with the bargain, but he actually knew it wasn't expensive at all. Who made him have such a good figure? Ordinary people couldn't wear his clothes.
A medium-grade spirit stone, settled a whole set not bad. Must hurry back, the flower-patterned pigs are starving. Now it's getting busier and busier, always no time to feed the pigs. Can't always bother others for help, have to design something that can add food to the pig trough on time.
After a brief thought, I had a rough idea of the shape in my mind. The materials needed shouldn't be expensive, so I might as well go to Qiqiaoge Variety Store again. Anyway, they have all sorts of things there, it's convenient to buy everything at once.
