"Hua Qiancheng, you send someone over to send Sister Fanzhi and the others back, and I won't go with you. They are seriously injured, and I'm going to find medicinal materials to heal them. In addition, you send someone to clean up the mess of the three major families. Just do it as quickly as possible without attracting anyone's attention."
After leaving the Wang family, Qin Chao called Hua Qiancheng. After the unconscious Tang Jingguo and Tang Fanzhi were picked up, he took a deep breath and walked to the nearest medicinal market.
The market for Chinese herbal medicines is very deep, and this medicinal materials market called Xisanli allows stalls to be set up, so there are many mobile vendors.
In the early years of Xisanli, there were not so many vendors. Instead, they were all serious medicinal farmers who set up stalls. The medicines they sold were basically very few, just a few plants, but they were basically good ones that they put great effort into the mountains to pick. There was even a hundred-year-old Ganoderma King appearing in the world, which shocked the entire Chinese herbal medicine world.
But as Xisanli became more and more famous, many profiteers got wind of it and came to set up stalls. These people were different from those honest drug farmers. Although the medicinal materials they sold at the stalls were all called old medicines, they were actually basically Three points are true and seven points are false. Only those who are truly knowledgeable will not be deceived. If other people come to buy medicine, they will definitely be deceived completely.
Of course, if you go to a serious store, the chance of being cheated is much smaller. However, the value of these medicinal materials has naturally increased, and the price/performance ratio is very low. All people with some discernment like to try their luck at street stalls.
Qin Chao had no interest in slowly trying his luck to pick up leaks, so he randomly found a large drug store and grabbed a few valuable medicines.
After grabbing the medicine, Qin Chao was about to leave when he suddenly heard the pharmacy clerk arguing with a gray-faced old man.
Qin Chao looked at Xun Sheng and saw that the old man was not a rich man at first glance, and he seemed to be from the countryside. His clothes had been washed and turned white. The cloth shoes on his feet were not only mended with several patches, but also the edges There are still large chunks of mud stuck to it.
Next to the old man, there was a basket made of bamboo strips. The mouth of the basket was carefully covered with a dirty cloth, as if it contained some treasure.
At this time, he was holding a few thin banknotes and glaring at the clerk angrily: "How can it be possible that my herbs are only worth these dozens of dollars? Old man, I have been collecting medicines all my life, can't I still see these things?" What’s the value of the medicine? The value of these herbs is at least a thousand yuan!”
The clerk snorted: "Thousands of dollars? Do you really think that our Jin Zhilin is taken advantage of? These medicines of yours are not good at first glance. The quality is too average. I gave you dozens of dollars just because you worked hard to go to the city." It’s not an easy job. Bad old man, I’m warning you not to cause trouble.”
The old man shouted angrily: "Then I won't sell it. I'll give you back the dozens of yuan and the medicinal herbs!"
"Once the transaction is over, it will not be returned! Even elementary school students understand this. You, a bad old man, have lived for decades and still don't understand. Have you lived like a dog?"
The clerk raised his chin arrogantly.
The old man looked ugly and seemed to want to make a scene, but he was afraid of Jin Zhilin's power and finally chose to swallow his anger.
"Brother Cheng, we have cooperated so many times. Old man, I collect medicines and sell them to you, Jin Zhilin. You also know the situation at old man's house. My old woman is still waiting for me to sell the money back to buy her medicine to treat her illness. Brother Cheng, can you take pity on me? Give me as much as you want?"
The old man had no choice but to plead in a low voice with red eyes.
The clerk, who was called Brother Cheng, noticed that someone was looking over. He didn't want to make things worse. He took out two hundred yuan and threw it to the old man with a straight face, saying: "Okay, I'm really impressed by you. Your wife is still alive as a consumptive ghost." A few dozen years is enough. Instead of living like this, where life is worse than death, it is better to die early and be reincarnated!"
The old man clutched the two hundred yuan that he had just put down his dignity to get, and tears fell one by one.
This is what happens when people are too poor. Dogs passing by will yell at you twice. There is no dignity at all.
"Why aren't you leaving? Old man, don't push yourself too far. I'm telling you, greed for money will never end well." The clerk shouted impatiently.
The old man held the money, picked up the basket, and limped out.
"Old man, are there any medicinal materials in your basket?" Qin Chao stepped forward and called out to the old man.
He sensed that there was a very strong spiritual energy in the old man's basket, which even the covering cloth could not cover. This is the best medicinal material he has encountered in Xisanli today. If he buys it and uses it as a healing agent for Sister Fanzhi and others, the effect will probably be very good.
The old man hesitated after hearing this, then put down the basket and took out a dark root covered in soil and thicker than an adult's arm.
"Young man, are you talking about this?" He smiled bitterly: "I dug this up by chance, old man. I'm afraid it's not a medicinal material."
Qin Chao said: "Old man, would you mind showing it to me? Don't worry, I'm just checking it out. After reading it, no matter what, I will buy it. The price guarantees your satisfaction."
"Brother, we have all seen this thing. Several medicinal masters have identified it and confirmed that this thing is an ordinary plant rhizome. You don't think it is some kind of treasure, do you?"
The clerk said with a sneer.
Qin Chao took the rhizome and looked at it carefully, feeling slightly shocked.
Because this thing turned out to be a magical medicine. Judging from its appearance and the fullness of the spiritual energy inside, it must be at least three hundred years old.
Qin Chao was a little excited. With this elixir, he believed that Tang Fanzhi and Tang Jingguo would be able to recover from his injuries soon. Moreover, he might even be able to share some of the potency of the medicine and improve his strength a little.
As for such a magical medicine, the old man, the clerk, and the so-called masters of medicinal materials are only mortals with naked eyes, so naturally they don't know how precious this thing is.
Qin Chao raised his head and looked at the old man: "Old man, I need this very much. Please give me a price."
"Really want to buy it?"
The old man and the clerk were obviously stunned.
The old man hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said: "Fifty yuan?"
Qin Chao smiled and said, "Old man, this thing of yours is very valuable. How about this? I'll give you one hundred thousand, and also give you a prescription to cure tuberculosis. How about that?"
This elixir is worth at least two to three billion. If you directly give the old man two to three billion, I am afraid that the old man will not be able to get out of this medicinal material market. After all, he is guilty of harboring a treasure.
One hundred thousand yuan will not attract anyone's attention, but it is also enough for the old man to improve his life.
And by giving him a prescription to treat tuberculosis, Qin Chao saved the life of the old man and his wife. This elixir worth several hundred million is just his medical fee.
It's just that the old man didn't know the value of this elixir. When he heard that Qin Chao actually wanted to give him one hundred thousand yuan, he started to tremble.
He was surprised: "One hundred thousand? Young man, are you trying to trick me? Can such an ugly thing be worth one hundred thousand?"
The clerk on the side also widened his eyes: "I'll go, are you an idiot? One hundred thousand yuan to buy a piece of garbage?"
Qin Chao looked at the old man calmly: "Of course I won't tell lies. Old man, do you want cash or do you want me to transfer money?"
"Transfer the money."
The old man rubbed his hands, swallowed hard, and took out his senior phone.
Mobile payment is now very developed. The old man registered for WeChat and soon received a transfer of 100,000 yuan from Qin Chao. Seeing so much money all of a sudden, the old man's hands were shaking a little, and his expression was a little dazed, as if he still couldn't believe it was true.
Putting away the old machine, he was afraid that Qin Chao would regret it, so he wanted to run away with the basket on his back.
Qin Chao held him silently and gave him the prescription for treating tuberculosis before waving goodbye to him. But the old man ignored Qin Chao at all, ran very fast, and disappeared in a flash.
