"This pill is really amazing. After taking it last night, I found that my memory has been greatly improved.
Today’s English test was extremely easy.”
"Classmate, you took it yesterday. I just took it today. Not to mention this pill, it can do wonders just before the exam."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, you don't know yet?
Recently, someone was selling a brain pill, and after taking it, I found that my brain was much better."
"Is it really that magical?"
“You’ll know after you try it.”
The whole school began to spread rumors about the power of this brain pill.
Naturally, this propaganda team is made up of those who got the pills for free.
Taking advantage of this hot moment, Lu Chen took the opportunity to sell the Brain Pill in front of the dormitory building.
"Classmate, I heard that this brain pill is very powerful. Do you have any more to give away today?"
"Ah, this classmate, I also have a small business, and I don't have any gifts now. I'll give you two hundred a piece, and I'll pass every exam."
"It's too expensive."
"If it's not expensive, it won't show how valuable it is."
Lu Chen saw that this classmate was still hesitant and said quickly.
But after all, it’s not just a matter of tens of dollars. A pill costs two hundred dollars, which is really not a small amount of money for some students, but for other students, it’s just child’s play.
After all, many of the people who go to college are wealthy people, and they all come here because they heard about the power of this medicine.
One purchase is ten pieces.
In one day, Lu Chen sold almost all the brain pills in his hand, and only a dozen pills were left.
With 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in hand, Lu Chen did not use the first pot of gold to spend it freely, but planned to buy medicinal materials to refine the so-called cultivation elixir.
After visiting all the medicine shops, the lowest-level cultivation elixir only needs a few medicinal ingredients to start refining.
As for this medicinal ingredient, he searched all the pharmacies in the city but could not find any trace of it. However, he heard from a pharmacy clerk that he could go to the flower and bird market in the north of the city. There were many people there and they sold all kinds of weird things.
Lu Chen rushed to the flower and bird market in the north of the city in a hurry. As expected, this place was many times bigger than the vegetable market in his hometown, and the noise was endless.
After passing through the first section of the road, there was nothing special except for the ones selling some flowers, plants, insects and birds. It was not until we came to the inside of this market that Lu Chen's horizons were opened.
There is everything here, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous things that Lu Chen has never seen before.
And this is where some cultural relic dealers come and go.
Seeing the pile of porcelain of unknown age on the ground, Lu Chen stopped curiously.
"Young man, what do you want?
I have items from various dynasties here. You see, this is celadon from the Song Dynasty. The body is thin and fine, and the glaze is the upper layer.
How about I give you a fair price of one thousand yuan."
Lu Chen smiled, this thing was too small to even serve him a meal. He couldn't believe that one thousand yuan could buy celadon from the Song Dynasty.
But he was just looking at them, and obviously had no interest in these antiques. He came to buy medicinal materials, not to shop for treasure.
"Boss, do you sell any medicine here?"
"What medicine?"
The boss was a little surprised that someone came to the flower and bird market to buy medicine.
"A medicine called thyme."
"Don't talk about thyme, I have all the thyme!"
The boss laughed, pulled Lu Chen into the front room, and closed the door behind him.
"Do you want this product?"
As he said this, the boss took out a plastic bag of white powder from his pocket.
"Haha, boss, you must have misunderstood. I'm really here to buy medicine."
"It'll be cheaper for you."
The boss seemed to think that Lu Chen was here to bargain.
"Don't talk about it boss, you really have a lot of things inside."
Lu Chen no longer paid attention to the white powder on the boss's hands, but instead visited the entire store. In addition to some ordinary jade and porcelain, there were also many gold items.
It seems that this boss has some skills. Looking at the styles of those things, they are not modern craftsmanship. They are probably things taken out of tombs.
"Are you really here to buy medicinal materials?
I only have medicinal materials in this cupboard here, there are not many, there are only a few that just came from one person."
As he said that, the boss took Lu Chen to a glass cabinet. There were many medicinal materials that Lu Chen had never seen before.
However, he focused on a flower that looked like a morning glory, which looked very much like the thyme described in the book.
"Boss, can you let me see that thing?"
"morning glory?"
The boss was not from a medicine store, so he naturally thought it was just an ordinary morning glory. The person who was selling the stuff at the time didn't know what he was selling, so he took it out of a tomb.
He sold it to himself along with other things.
Despite what he said, the boss still gave Lu Chen the morning glory.
Lu Chen touched the petals, and sure enough it felt stinging. When he lowered his head and smelled it, it turned out to be a pungent fishy smell.
Yes, this is exactly the thyme described in the book, because the taste is unmistakable.
"This smelly flower is the thyme you mentioned?
Then why doesn’t he smell good?”
The boss has been in this business for so long, and he has a very good ability to observe people's emotions. When he saw Lu Chen smile, it was obvious that this thing was Thyme.
But how could this smelly flower be called thyme?
"Boss, if I want this thing, please give me a price."
Lu Chen didn't know how much this thing was worth, but just because it wasn't available in the drugstore, he knew it was good. He was worried about whether he would have enough money in his pocket.
"One thousand yuan cannot be lower."
The boss said bluntly, he didn't spend any money on this thing, it was a gift from the tomb robber.
Then he turned around and looked at Lu Chen's dress, knowing that this was not a rich man. He was ready to bargain with him after setting a price, "Okay, one thousand is one thousand."
Lu Chen was very happy. He didn't expect that this most important medicine only cost a thousand yuan. I guess the boss was a little ignorant.
Sure enough, the boss agreed when he saw Lu Chen. It seemed that he had bid the wrong price, but businessmen pay attention to credit.
What's more, this thing has been in the store for a long time, and no one has taken a fancy to it. I would be satisfied if I sold it for a thousand yuan.
Lu Chen paid a thousand yuan and kept the thyme close to his body. He was afraid that others might see it, and then he slipped into the crowd and headed for the exit.
Before Lu Chen could leave, the boss came with another business order.
"Miss, what would you like to order? I have antiques from all eras here."
Looking at this girl again, she was dressed in an expensive outfit, even the necklace around her neck was probably worth a lot of money, and her expression naturally became more enthusiastic.
Nowadays, not all rich people are good at this.
"Do you have a medicinal herb called thyme in your store?"
"Why are there so many people asking for thyme today?"
"Boss, you have it."
Hearing the boss's words, the girl became excited and grabbed the boss's hand.
I searched all the medicine shops but couldn't find any, so I came to this flower and bird market to try my luck. I went to several medicine shops that either didn't sell medicinal materials, or they only sold things like thousand-year-old ginseng, ten-year-old snow lotus, and other deceptive things.
I just don’t have the thyme I need.
"Yes, there is, but it was bought by a young man just now, that one."
Looking at Lu Chen who was about to walk out of the flower and bird market, the boss pointed it out to the girl.
"Thank you, boss."
As she said that, the girl chased after Lu Chen.
"Sir, please stay."
Lu Chen was walking on the road when he heard someone calling from behind, but he didn't think it was him.
Because he doesn't think he is Mr.
"Sir, wait for me."
Behind him, there was the rapid sound of high heels approaching Lu Chen.
Not me, not me.
As if he had done something wrong, Lu Chen thought silently in his heart and pressed the thyme in his arms tighter.
At this time, a hand was placed on Lu Chen's shoulder.
"Ah, it's not me!"
Lu Chen actually shouted.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Lu Chen's strange appearance, she was a little confused. Could this person be a psychopath?
Only then did Lu Chen realize that he had not done anything sneaky, and the thyme on his body was obtained through normal trading, so he had nothing to be afraid of.
So Lu Chen turned his head, wondering who had called him, and as soon as he turned his head, a pretty face appeared in front of him.
The girl put her hands behind her and lowered her head. Her long flowing hair covered most of her face, but her bright red mouth aroused Lu Chen's desire.
"Miss, what's the matter?"
Lu Chen pretended to be calm, but his heart jumped. Why did such a temperamental girl call him to stop him?
Are you attracted to me?
Lu Chen rejected this immediately. Although he was somewhat confident in his appearance, he was not arrogant yet.
"I heard you have thyme."
"No!"
Lu Chen hurriedly covered his chest and immediately rejected the girl. Although the girl was good-looking, this thyme was related to his future plans to make a fortune.
Lu Chen subconsciously made a choice.
"Sir, please make an offer."
Seeing Chen Lu's actions, the girl immediately knew that the thyme was in Chen Lu's arms.
"No amount of money will be sold."
Now that it has been discovered, Lu Chen doesn't hide it. He won't sell it even if he is beaten to death.
"Sir, please, I'm going to use this medicine to save my life. You must help me."
As he said this, the girl almost knelt down.
"Hey, don't be like this, it's so ugly."
Lu Chen was not a hard-hearted person. When he saw the girl bending her knees and wanting to kneel down, he quickly reached out and grabbed the girl's arm.
It's all silky smooth. It seems that this girl comes from a good family, otherwise it would be impossible to take care of her skin so well.
"Ahem, you mean to save people?"
Lu Chen was embarrassed and kicked out the wrong thoughts in his mind, and quickly withdrew his hand when he picked up the girl.
"Yes, sir, my father is bedridden and has been to many major hospitals but nothing can be done.
Finally, a famous Chinese medicine doctor was invited, and he said that his father could only be saved with Baicao Xiang."
Chinese medicine doctor?
He couldn't be a charlatan. This herbaceous incense is not even available in pharmacies. How could this Chinese medicine doctor know about it?
He must be some charlatan.
"But, I also need this incense urgently."
Lu Chen was a little embarrassed. After all, this herbaceous incense was hard to find. If he chose to give it to this girl now, he didn't know if he would still be able to find it in the future.
"What disease does your father suffer from?"
"Blood cancer."
No wonder some big hospitals are unable to do anything. This blood cancer is leukemia, which is basically a terminal illness.
"How about I think about it again."
"Sir, I don't have much time. Please reply to me as soon as possible. This is my phone number. My name is Ning Shan.
If you figure it out, just call me."
Obviously, this thyme is also extremely important to Lu Chen, so Ning Shan did not force anyone to make things difficult. They had already said they would consider it, which was the biggest concession. Ning Shan had to wait for the good news.
"Okay, just give me one night to think about it. I'll call you tomorrow."
Lu Chen took the thyme and walked to the garbage dump outside the city. After all, this refining medicine was no better than others, so he had to find a more private place.
Naturally, the garbage dump outside the city has now become Lu Chen's base for refining medicine.
