Xu Zhi'an was shocked and suddenly felt happy. He was lucky enough to encounter such elixirs, but it was a little strange that such elixirs actually appeared in such a place, and they seemed to be a little withered. Judging from their dim color, they should be picked after being picked. It's been a while.
When the vendor saw that someone was interested in this blade of grass, his eyes suddenly lit up and he introduced it with a smile on his face: "This guy has really good eyesight. This is a real century-old ginseng, and there are still a few leaves under the blade of grass. , this is something rare to see in a century.”
"The stuff is good, and there are enough heads, but are those leaves really from this ginseng plant?" Xu Zhian looked at the vendor with a half-smile.
The vendor's smile faltered when he heard this, and he said with a wry smile: "It seems that I am an expert. I won't say much else. The sincere price is ten gold. If you can, this old ginseng will be yours."
The price of ten gold is not expensive for blood ginseng, but it is more than a bit more expensive for other century-old ginseng. This vendor obviously did not recognize that this is a magical medicine, otherwise how could he price it in worldly gold and silver, but if it is priced in ginseng For reference, this price is very unreasonable.
"There are many other merchants of century-old ginseng, and the price is only three gold. If you want such a high price, you sincerely don't want to sell it, right?"
"Others are cheaper, so I asked other stores, and my ginseng is sold at this price." The vendor seemed to know that his ginseng was different, but he was not sure, and his current attitude was more like a kind of temptation.
Xu Zhi'an looked at the vendor, a little unsure of his thoughts, but he didn't want to miss the elixir in front of him, but he didn't have any money, and ten gold was also a large amount. One gold can be exchanged for a hundred silver, and one gold can be exchanged for a hundred silver. Silver can be exchanged for a hundred pennies, and the average person's daily expenditure is less than ten pennies. If you calculate it, the price of this elixir can supply one person's normal expenses for forty years, almost a lifetime.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but I don't have the ten gold coins right now. You can go get it with me, or you can take the ginseng off the stall and trade with you after I get the money."
The vendor stared and looked Xu Zhi'an up and down again. He seemed a little surprised that Xu Zhi'an could really afford such a large amount of money, but he was sure in his heart that the ginseng he was selling was extraordinary. Someone had bid for the hardware before. If he hadn't bitten it to death, the deal was almost done. In the current situation, the ginseng must be more than ten gold, so he replied: "Ten gold was the price just now, but now the price has changed, it costs fifty gold!"
"Are you kidding me?" Xu Zhian frowned and became angry.
"Oh, brother, business is a consensual relationship. If you don't want the price, don't disturb my business." The vendor seemed to be sure that Xu Zhi'an would definitely buy the ginseng, and some of the lions opened their mouths.
Only then did Xu Zhi'an realize that he had agreed too readily just now, and he was also impatient. He felt that Dr. Mo would also be interested in this elixir, so he agreed. Unfortunately, he seemed to have given the vendor the wrong impression, although he really wanted to get it. This is the first elixir I encountered.
"In that case, forget it. In fact, ten gold is just what I said casually. Fortunately, you regretted it first, otherwise I would have regretted it." Xu Zhi'an calmed down, then patted the dirt on his hands, turned around and walked away.
This time it was the vendor's turn to be a little confused, but when he saw that Xu Zhi'an left very resolutely, not like he was acting, he felt a little panicked and said quickly: "Brother, don't leave, the price can still be negotiated, thirty gold. Oh no, just twenty gold."
Xu Zhi'an's consciousness was still paying attention to the stall, but he didn't look back. Now he could judge that this stall was a profiteer. Seeing the trend, he raised the price. He needed to give him a break. Now he would have to spend a lot of money to turn back. He didn't believe it. Really? There will be people who know the goods who can afford this price, otherwise they won’t be able to wait for themselves.
Sure enough, when the vendor saw him leaving, a look of remorse appeared on his face, and he was beating his chest.
After that, several people came to the vendor to ask about the price of ginseng, but after hearing the quotation, they all looked at the vendor as if he were a fool. It was fine at first, but after a few times, the vendor became less and less confident, and he began to doubt himself. judgment.
"Tap..."
The sound of footsteps sounded, and the vendor saw a young man with a sword standing in front of him. He took a closer look and finally recognized that this person was the customer who had originally bid for the hardware. He suddenly felt more at ease and said, "This customer Officer, I believe you have also shopped around. Good old ginseng like mine cannot be found in the entire medicine market. There were too many people asking about it before. Now the price is twenty gold. If you come later, it will be really expensive. Not at this price anymore.”
The young man didn't say anything. He just looked at the vendor, then at the blood ginseng. After a long while, he said, "I want to inspect the goods first."
When the vendor heard this, he smiled broadly. He was almost sure that half of the business was done. He thought to himself, "It's a good thing the price has increased, otherwise I would have made ten less gold."
The young man squatted down, holding the blood ginseng in both hands and looking back and forth. The vendor kept shouting at the side, exaggerating how good the ginseng was. The young man frowned and felt that the vendor was a bit noisy, but he tried his best to endure it until he was sure that the blood ginseng was After there were no questions, he took a long breath and even smiled at the vendor.
The vendor felt even more happy when he saw this posture, but suddenly saw the young man in front of him grab the blood ginseng, put his foot down, and disappeared in a flash.
The vendor was stunned, and before he could react, a gust of wind came to his ears, and then he fell backwards. It turned out that after the young man dodged the vendor, he reached out and slapped the vendor on the chest, causing him to One fell to the ground.
"ah!"
The vendor cried out in pain. Xu Zhi'an's consciousness had been placed here. This movement did not escape his perception. Everyone who stopped in front of the stall was checked by his consciousness. No one had more than Shijin, who was watching the show with a calm mind, didn't expect this unexpected incident to happen, so he immediately ran over like the wind.
But at this time, the young man had already gone far away. He actually climbed over the rocks and ran away. His figure was so ethereal that he could not catch up.
Looking at the direction in which the young man was leaving, the vendor angrily got up from the ground, ignoring his dirty clothes, and yelled: "Thief!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding vendors gathered around and asked about the situation. After learning that someone had stolen blood ginseng, they also shouted for help. In an instant, the entire medicine market knew that someone had stolen ginseng.
Xu Zhian looked at the direction in which the young man was escaping, and felt distressed in his heart. He unexpectedly missed the elixir. He didn't know who to blame for the moment. He could only say that he deserved it for the vendor, but he could only lament that it was a pity for the elixir.
Another thing that caught Xu Zhi'an's attention was that the young man had no aura of spiritual roots, and the movement techniques he used had no remnants of spiritual energy. He was clearly a mortal, but he could fly over eaves and walk over walls. Xu Zhi'an couldn't help but wonder, could there be someone else in the world? Another way to practice?
