The market is very big. After entering the gate, there are nearly two kilometers of small stalls, and then there is a huge wholesale city of medicinal materials.
There are some large-scale wholesalers of medicinal materials in the wholesale city. The quality of medicinal materials is relatively high, and the price is naturally more expensive.
The stalls outside are filled with medicinal materials picked from the mountains by nearby medicinal farmers and sold here. The prices are relatively cheap, but there is a mixed bag, and it is easy to buy fake medicines.
Qin Haodong naturally doesn't need to worry about this. As a cultivator, he is very sensitive to spiritual energy and can tell the authenticity and age of medicinal materials just by looking at them.
When preparing Marrow Cleansing Pill, the two most important herbs are hundreds of years old Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng.
He walked slowly along the stalls outside, but still found nothing after walking halfway. After all, there were too few wild medicinal materials in this era, let alone treasures that were hundreds of years old.
Seeing that the scattered stalls were about to come to an end, Qin Haodong's eyes suddenly lit up and he finally found a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum plant in a stall.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his 40s, who looks very eye-catching among the many stalls. It is the midsummer season in Jiangnan. The owners of other stalls are wearing very little clothing, and some are even shirtless, but he is wearing long clothes.
Long pants, covered tightly, as if afraid of catching cold.
Even so, the middle-aged man's face still looked pale and he was exhausted.
"Boss, how do you sell this?" Qin Haodong asked, pointing to the century-old Polygonum multiflorum at the feet of the stall owner.
When he heard that business was coming to his door, the stall owner became somewhat energetic. He opened his eyes wide and said, "This is aged Polygonum multiflorum, and it costs 20,000 yuan!"
"20,000?" Qin Haodong looked surprised, and then said, "Boss, is your price too expensive?"
In fact, what surprised him just now was that the boss sold it too cheaply. According to normal market conditions, Polygonum multiflorum that is hundreds of years old can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan. It seems that the middle-aged people only know that this Polygonum multiflorum has some age, but it is not
I know it has reached a hundred years.
The stall owner said: "This is pure wild Polygonum multiflorum. I dug it out of the mountains. It is at least forty or fifty years old. 20,000 yuan is not expensive at all."
Sure enough, the stall owner did not know the value of this Polygonum multiflorum plant.
As a modern young man, those who can make money will certainly not suffer losses. Qin Haodong said: "Your Polygonum multiflorum plant is not in good condition. It looks like it has been on display for a long time. Most people will not buy it. So, 1
Ten thousand yuan, no more."
The stall owner hesitated for a moment. Although this Polygonum multiflorum plant was old, it was really not favored by others. He had put it here for more than a month and still didn't sell it.
"Okay, take 10,000 yuan."
The stall owner finally decided.
After all, it is difficult to sell medicinal materials that are too expensive at retail stalls like theirs. Rich people have gone to the wholesale city, where they are afraid of buying fakes.
"good!"
Qin Haodong was overjoyed. With this hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, he could solve the problem of the main medicine.
He took the medicine and reached into his pocket. When he took it out, his face suddenly became embarrassed, and there was only a one-yuan coin in his hand.
Only then did he realize that he was no longer the wealthy Emperor Aoki in the world of cultivation. He only had so much property left behind by his predecessor.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his strange expression, the stall owner looked over.
"That...can you sell it to me for one dollar?"
Qin Haodong asked, holding up the coin in his hand.
Seeing the coin in his hand, the stall owner almost fell to the ground. He had seen stingy people, but never such a stingy person.
"Are you sick? You have to spend one yuan to buy medicine worth 10,000 yuan. I think you are not here to buy medicine but to cause trouble. Get out of here quickly, or I will call the police."
The stall owner said as he snatched the century-old Polygonum multiflorum from Qin Haodong's hand.
"I didn't bring any money, but I think you should sell it to me."
Qin Haodong looked at the stall owner and said.
"Are you awake?" The stall owner glared at Qin Haodong, "This Polygonum multiflorum plant is old and costs at least tens of thousands of dollars. If you want to buy it for only one dollar, I think your head is really sick.
Go home and take medicine as soon as possible, and don’t go out without taking medicine in the future.”
Qin Haodong said calmly: "It's not that I'm sick, it's that you are sick."
"You are the only one who is sick, your whole family is sick." The stall owner was completely irritated.
"Don't be angry, I really want to buy this Polygonum multiflorum!" Qin Haodong said calmly, "Although I have no money, I am not a troublemaker. Believe it or not, you will be willing to sell it to me later, and even ask for it.
Free gift.”
"Free gift? Are you talking in your sleep?"
The stall owner laughed angrily and looked at Qin Haodong as if he was mentally ill. In his opinion, this guy was mentally retarded. He went out to buy things without money, and thought he would give them away for free. He was not crazy, so why would he give them away for free?
you?
Qin Haodong looked at the stall owner with a playful look on his face and said, "Are you afraid of the cold recently, and your waist and knees are sore?"
The stall owner was slightly startled, but then he felt relieved. He was the one wearing the most clothes in the entire medicinal market, so it was not surprising to see that he was afraid of the cold.
But what the young man said next shocked him, "If I read it correctly, your symptoms have been around for about two months. The overall symptoms are chills, soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, and weakness in the limbs. These are all minor symptoms."
Yes, the most important thing is that your second-in-command has not been working recently, right?"
The stall owner was stunned. If Qin Haodong had just mentioned these physical symptoms, he might have been deceived, but two months was definitely not something that could be deceived casually.
There was also the fact that the second boss didn't work. No one else knew about it except himself and his wife, but this young man said it casually. It seemed very complicated.
"How did you know?" he asked in surprise.
"I am a Chinese medicine doctor, so of course I can see it." Qin Haodong said lightly, "I also saw that you went to a very cold place before you got sick, and you have had this disease since then, right?"
The expressions of the stall owners became even more sluggish. Herb collectors like them usually wandered around, even in the mountains and swamps.
Once he went to a small valley. It was very strange there. It was already winter but it was bitterly cold. Although he picked a medicinal plant and hurriedly left, he suffered from this strange disease ever since. But this kind of
He didn't tell anyone about it, so how did the man in front of him know?
"Why, am I wrong?" Looking at the expression on the stall owner's face, Qin Haodong knew that he was right, and said with regret, "If what I said is wrong, then I don't want this medicinal material, and I will turn around and leave now.
But you have lost the only chance to be cured, and you may have to enter the palace to serve the emperor, but don't blame me for not reminding you..."
"Don't... don't go, little brother, don't go!"
The stall owner grabbed Qin Haodong. Hearing that his illness could be cured, he asked eagerly: "Little brother, can you really cure my illness?"
For a man, there is nothing more tragic than the failure of the second boss to recover.
He has made some money collecting medicines over the years, and he has just married a wife who is more than ten years younger. The two of them originally lived a happy and harmonious life, but since returning that time, things have become like this. His wife quarrels with him every now and then.
At this rate, even if you don't get divorced, you won't be far away from being cheated on.
He also took a lot of medicine and saw many doctors during this period, but it had no effect at all. Some people even advised him to have surgery...
Unexpectedly, I met a young man who was shopping today. Not only did he tell me his symptoms, but he also said that he could be cured. This made him unbelievable.
Qin Haodong said: "I treat people based on fate. You can choose to believe it or not. I won't force you, but since I can see it, I will naturally have a way to treat it."
"I believe! I believe!" The stall owner grabbed Qin Haodong's arm as if grasping a life-saving straw, and said repeatedly, "As long as the little brother can cure my disease, let alone this Polygonum multiflorum, all the medicinal materials here will
All for you."
Qin Haodong said: "If I'm not wrong, the place you went to is an extremely yin place. The yin energy there is too strong. Fortunately, you stayed for a short time. If it had been longer, you might have lost your life. Even this would be serious.
If the kidney yang is depleted, if it is not treated in time, I may only have two years to live."
"Then what should we do? Little brother, you must save me, no matter how much money you spend!" Seeing Qin Haodong's words, the stall owner was so frightened that his face became paler.
"Don't be nervous, as long as the cause of the disease is found, this disease is still easy to cure." Qin Haodong said, taking out the needle bag from his pocket, "I just need to give you two injections and you will be cured!"
"Really?" The stall owner still couldn't believe it. He had seen many famous doctors, but he couldn't cure it even though he spent a lot of money.
"You'll know if it's true or not after you try it. I don't want your money."
Qin Haodong only had the patience to treat this man for the sake of the century-old Polygonum multiflorum plant. Otherwise, with his Qingmu Emperor character, he would have turned around and left.
The stall owner thought about it and found out that this was indeed the case. He still had the Polygonum multiflorum plant in his hand. If he couldn't cure it, he would just need a few injections, but he wouldn't lose much. If he could cure it, he could get happiness for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, he said: "Okay, I'm willing to give it a try."
Qin Haodong asked the stall owner to turn around, raised his hand and inserted two silver needles into the Shenshu points on both sides. This disease cannot be cured by others, but for him it is very simple. If the kidney yang is damaged, just replenish the yang energy.
The stall owner felt a slight chill in his lower back, and then two waves of heat rose up. Then the long-lost warmth swept through his body, sweeping away the cool breath that had troubled him for many days.
When time was running out, Qin Haodong took out the silver needle and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Okay, I'm really okay!" The stall owner looked excited and almost jumped up. Although he didn't do any tests, he was full of strength at this time. The most important thing was that the second boss was excited again.
It proved that the young man in front of him did not lie to him.
"Thank you little brother, these medicinal materials are all yours!"
The stall owner's eyes shone with excitement and he almost knelt down in front of Qin Haodong.
