Although it is said to be a small city, it is actually just a town, but this town is quite prosperous. A large number of people flow in and out of the city gate, and the five-foot-high city wall makes people feel slightly small.
Although Wang Mingfei had seen extremely prosperous megacities in his previous life, they were all made of reinforced concrete. He, who stayed at home all day long, had never seen such an ancient city.
He was sitting on the bullock cart, looking around curiously. Although there was no look of shock on his face, his actions were consistent with his status as a country boy who had never seen the world.
Approaching the city gate, you can see the three large characters "Yuanjia Town" above the doorway with beautiful lines and powerful strokes. You can tell at a glance that these characters were written by famous writers.
The uncle and nephew lined up to enter the city. The entrance fee was not as exorbitant as the river crossing fee. Each of them had a penny, so it was not a burden.
Yuanjia Town has two main streets, one running from east to west, called Chunhui Street, and one running from north to south, called Heping Street.
After the uncle and nephew entered the city, they set foot on Heping Street. The street was paved with bluestone slabs and there were many shops on both sides of the street.
There were several inns in the town, and Wang Mingfei was not in a hurry to stay. However, his third uncle wanted to get rid of the medicinal materials quickly and then rush back to the village.
So the two of them drove towards the elixir store in the town.
There is only one elixir store in Yuanjia Town. This store is built in the center of the town, occupying a prime location, and the store occupies a large area.
But it is understandable that those who can buy and sell elixirs are rich and powerful people. Ordinary people want to do this business, but no one is willing to buy it. Who knows what kind of elixir materials you can provide, and the elixirs are purchased for consumption.
If you add force, the quality is not guaranteed, who would be willing to come to your door?
The elixir store is called Chenji Danyao, but it is the store of the Chen family, a large family in Yuanjia Town.
The pharmacy is not aligned with other shops. Most of the other shops are close to Heping Street, but the pharmacy has a small open space in front of the door. The open space borders the street.
The purpose of the open space is to park vehicles, because the elixir shop not only sells elixirs and medicinal materials, but also purchases elixirs and medicinal materials. This open space is used by people who come to sell medicinal materials to park their vehicles.
Of course, there are also high-ranking nobles who come to buy elixirs in luxury fleets. They leave the fleets in open spaces, and the pharmacies are guarded by dedicated personnel to prevent the vehicles from being parked on the streets and blocking traffic.
The third uncle parked the bullock cart in the open space, grabbed a handful from the pile of medicinal materials, and took Wang Mingfei into the pharmacy.
When you enter the elixir store, you will see an inverted U-shaped counter.
The front is where elixirs are bought and sold, the left side is where customers buy medicinal materials, and the right side is where customers sell medicinal materials.
After the third uncle entered the door, he walked to the right. The person responsible for purchasing the medicinal materials was a thin man in his forties. The man wore a yarmulke and a black long slanted coat. When he saw the third uncle, he greeted him warmly:
"Brother Wang is here again. The quality of the goods this time is no worse than last time."
The third uncle glanced sideways at him, pretending to be dissatisfied: "The old customers don't believe me anymore, so I won't come next time." The man quickly bowed and apologized, and the two of them laughed and talked about this time.
The problem of purchasing medicinal materials is gone.
Wang Mingfei stood in the room and saw a few people bargaining around the fat shopkeeper selling elixirs in front of the counter selling elixirs. He took two steps forward and curiously watched what elixirs these people wanted to buy.
The shopkeeper responsible for buying and selling elixirs is about five feet one inch (one meter seven) tall. He is quite fat. When he smiles, his round face wrinkles into a chrysanthemum.
He held a bottle of elixir and praised it. He talked so much that his saliva flew everywhere.
There were several people around, both men and women. They were all young, wearing uniform clothes, and their cultivation levels were not very advanced. Most of them were at the first or second level of the Qi Refining Realm. Only one of them was at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm like Wang Mingfei.
Seriously, it seems that these are all disciples of a certain micro-gang.
Wang Mingfei stepped forward and happened to hear the fat shopkeeper talking about the price of the elixir.
"This flawless Qi Accumulating Pill is very effective and has very few impurities. After taking it, you only need to consolidate it for ten days before taking it again. This bottle of ten pills only charges you twenty first-grade low-grade spiritual stones. At this price
It’s quite cheap. Whether it’s in Yantai County or several surrounding counties, you can’t find a store with cheaper prices than ours.”
"Senior Brother, although two inferior Qi Accumulating Pills of the incomplete grade only cost one low-grade spirit stone, there are too many impurities in them. Taking one pill will take several months to consolidate, so it is not suitable for us to take it at all."
The round-faced girl said to the eldest young man among the crowd.
"Yes, Senior Brother, we have completed this mission very well. The master has rewarded us with a lot of spiritual stones. We will buy flawless-level Qi-accumulating pills, not incomplete-level or ordinary-level Qi-accumulating pills. Ordinary-level ones are also
It takes a month to consolidate." An ordinary-looking young man of about twenty years old looked at the senior brother and begged.
The other people also tried to persuade the eldest brother. The eldest brother gritted his teeth and took out dozens of shiny, irregular jade-shaped stones about half the size of a thumb from his arms. He counted them and took out three more.
Returning to his arms, he said to the fat shopkeeper: "This is forty yuan of first-grade low-grade spiritual stones. Let's buy two bottles of flawless grade low-grade Qi Accumulating Pills."
The fat shopkeeper picked up all the spiritual stones and placed them on a strange-looking object aside. The object squeaked a few times. The fat shopkeeper took a look and nodded: "Yes, they are 40 yuan for first-grade low-grade spiritual stones. I
I’ll get you some elixirs.”
As he spoke, he turned around and opened a drawer behind him, took out a medicine bottle, put it together with the bottle of elixir from the beginning, and pushed it in front of several people: "Open it for yourselves and verify it."
The senior brother opened the cork of the bottle, took out an elixir, twisted it gently with two fingers, looked at the sun, then put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and nodded: "This one is right."
He verified the elixirs one by one, then capped the bottle tightly, thanked the fat shopkeeper who was leaning on the counter and smiling at them, then turned and left.
"Welcome to come again next time." The fat shopkeeper greeted with a smile.
"Elder brother, with these elixirs, we can increase our cultivation. This is great!" The round-faced girl cheered.
Several other disciples of the mini-gang looked at their senior brother with eager eyes, surrounded him, and walked out the door.
Wang Mingfei has been in a daze since his senior brother took out the spirit stone just now. Even when these people left, he didn't pay attention.
It turned out that just when the senior brother was taking out the spirit stone, Wang Mingfei suddenly heard a system prompt.
"After scanning, we concluded through comparison that the rechargeable items are spirit stones, and the recharge ratio is the same as the beast crystal."
Wang Mingfei heard the system prompts and had a lot of questions but it was not convenient for him to ask. Seeing that the fat shopkeeper had nothing to do, he asked another question: "Is it convenient for the shopkeeper? I want to ask about the elixir."
When the fat shopkeeper heard this, he thought that business was coming to his door. He sat up and said anxiously: "Guest wants to buy something. Our store does not say that we have all kinds of elixirs, but most elixirs are on sale. The most important thing is that the quality is excellent and the price is not expensive."
.”
Wang Mingfei saw that the fat shopkeeper was so enthusiastic and knew that he was wrong. However, he was not interested in correcting the fat shopkeeper's idea and continued to ask: "I wonder if the store has perfect low-grade Qi-enhancing Pills for sale?"
When the fat shopkeeper heard this, he felt as if cold water had been poured on his head in the cold winter. He suddenly lost his temper and replied listlessly: "How can there be a perfect level? Even a high-level alchemist has only a 1% chance of refining something.
, how can it be sold?”
Wang Mingfei's understanding of the value of the system suddenly improved a lot. He asked, "Is there any pill that can improve the probability of finding Qi?"
The fat shopkeeper was even more unmotivated, and his voice was eight tones lowered: "Yes, it is said to be called Xunqi Pill, but the recipe for the pill has been lost for nearly a thousand years. If anyone really has this thing, he will definitely be dead." The implication is that.
, A person with strength will make a fortune if he gets the prescription, but a person without strength will be doomed if he gets the prescription.
After Wang Mingfei heard this, he already had a plan in mind, so he stopped asking and turned to look at where he was buying medicinal materials, waiting for his third uncle's transaction to end.
The third uncle quickly sold the medicinal materials. After Chen Ji Dan Yao's clerk counted the medicinal materials and moved them away, the third uncle took the proceeds and left with Wang Mingfei. When the two left the pharmacy, the third uncle asked: "Xiao Fei, come out and practice.
Have you thought about your future plans?"
Wang Mingfei smiled: "Well, I've already thought about it. I'll spend some time in this town first, find an inn to stay in temporarily, and then see if I can find a job here, and then go around this town later.
Run around and see if you can find any way to improve your cultivation."
"Be careful when improving your cultivation, and don't get carried away in a hurry." Third Uncle warned seriously: "I still know a few friends in this town, why don't Third Uncle show off my old face and ask them to give you a job?
"
"Thank you, Third Uncle." Wang Mingfei rejected Third Uncle's kindness: "But I still plan to find a job on my own. After all, this is also the test of life. Anyway, I have reached the third level of Qi Refining Realm, and I can barely be considered a warrior.
, If it really doesn’t work, the best I can do is work hard, so I don’t have to worry about finding a way to make a living.”
When the third uncle saw that Wang Mingfei couldn't talk, he stopped pressing: "Do you have enough money with you? The hotel expenses are not small."
"I've brought enough. My parents gave me twenty taels of silver when I came out this time, which is enough to last for a while." Wang Mingfei's mouth curved slightly: "This place is not close to home. Third uncle, you have to rush back, so you don't need to send me off."
Alright, I'll go find an inn by myself. Third uncle will go home and bring peace to my parents."
"Well, I'll leave first. You have to be careful on your own, think about everything, and don't be impulsive." The third uncle turned the cart around and muttered uneasily: "I will inform your parents when I get back."
Peace, before you act, remember that your parents are still at home thinking about you."
"Well, don't worry, Third Uncle, I won't be impulsive. Even if someone deliberately bullies me, I will tolerate it." Wang Mingfei reassured Third Uncle.
Before the oxcart had gone a few steps, the third uncle suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Go to the Yuelai Inn on the east side of the town. The service there is good and the price is fair."
"Okay Third Uncle, I'll go to Yuelai Inn right away." Wang Mingfei waved to Third Uncle and responded loudly. (To be continued...)
