I'm the only immortal
Chapter 18 Scaring the Fish Monster with Wisdom (Part 2)
Yuhua stood empty on the spot, Hailong's departure made him feel very lost, but he deeply remembered every word Hailong said before leaving. He turned his head and glanced at his sister, and swore silently, no matter what. How difficult it was, he had to find that Lianyun Mountain in November.
Away from the mountain village, Hailong finally calmed down. Thinking of the appearance of Yuhua who had just been captured, he could not help but be afraid for a while, thinking to himself, it seemed like it would be better for him to show his skills less. in front of others in the future. Otherwise, the same situation might happen again, but it seemed that his cultivation was not in vain, at least the bluffing fish spirit was stunned. Thinking of this, he could not help but be arrogant. Staring at the sun in the sky, he opened his body and continued on his way. After finally changing into clean clothes, despite being filled with patches, the Sea Dragon still appreciated it greatly and was more cautious as he moved forward. Half a day later, under his full speed, he had driven for two hundred miles, and a towering large city appeared in front of him. This was Hailong's first time seeing the city, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. When they were young, he and Zhang Hao often dreamed together that they could thrive in big cities in the future. In this unintended opportunity, I finally arrived outside the big city I dreamed of, and inevitably felt a sense of alienation in my heart. The large city in front of him was about 30 meters tall, with flags fluttering over the city, and teams of patrolling soldiers kept speeding back and forth. Below, the city gate with a height of seven or eight meters was wide open, and many busy civilians came and went, there were about thirty guards standing upright on both sides.
Hailong swept away the dust from his body and walked towards the city gate with his head held high. His heart was full of excitement now, and he really wanted to immediately see what the city was like.
"Stop." As soon as he walked to the city gate, Hailong was stopped by the guards. A man came over, looked at him doubtfully, and said, "Where are you from? What are you doing here in Tongyuan City? ? ?" Hai Long was stunned, looking at the warrior in front of him who was much taller than himself, and said: "I am from the Western Region. I originally went to the Central Plains to do business. Brother, how far is it? from the Western Region?"
The soldier glanced at him from top to bottom, and said with a hint of disdain: "It turns out that foreigners, no wonder look rustic. This place is still far from your Western Region. It takes thousands of miles to go west. .Remember, you're not allowed to make trouble in town, otherwise, don't blame us for being unsympathetic, understand?"
Hailong pretended to be a slave, but only agreed, and the soldier let him go and let him enter this Tongyuan City. Hailong was in a very good mood now, and he did not care about the humiliation and humiliation of the soldiers, and walked quickly to the city he had longed for for a long time. As soon as he entered the city, Hailong was shocked by the hustle and bustle in the city. On the wide street, there were various shops on both sides, selling a wide variety of items, and some young people who looked like friends constantly appeared in front of their stores to attract customers.
"Many people! I've never seen so many people before, it's a big city. Tongyuan City? Which country's Tongyuan City? No, I'll ask someone to ask. " Thinking, he left In front of a shop by the roadside, the man outside the store shouted loudly, “Come and see! Our store has everything you need for nutrition and health care, come and choose!” It turns out that this is a pharmacy. Hailong stepped forward and said, "Brother, I want to ask you something."
The man glanced at He Hailong, saw his patch, and pouted, as if he had not heard his greetings, and continued to sell. When some beautifully dressed people walked to the front of the store, he immediately joined them, and enthusiastically introduced the various medicines in their store to them. Hailong was stunned for a moment, and asked the same thing again, but the man still ignored him.
The anger in his heart gradually increased, and Hailong said angrily: "You're deaf, aren't you, can't you hear me when I call you?"
The man suddenly turned around and said angrily, "What are you yelling at? Don't interrupt Lao Tzu's remarks to guests. Don't pee and follow your own way. You're so shabby, you're not worth asking me about that. Go. , otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. "Hailong tightened his left hand, almost exerting the power of blood gossip in an angry state, took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger.His heart, and said lightly: "This is really a dog's eye. People are low, how do you know that I'm not going to your store to buy stuff, are you looking down on people? I want to go in and buy some today." After speaking, he walked to the pharmacy.
The man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him, but Hailong walked very quickly, and when he caught up, he had already entered the shop. The shop is huge, with a counter circle around it. Behind the counter were four or five girls entertaining guests. Positioning on the walls were all high medicine cabinets with various labels on them.
“Stop, kid, let me out, this is not the place you should go to.” The man grabbed Hailong's shirt and wanted to pull it out. A cold light flashed in Hailong's eyes, he stood there, where it flowed, and with a slight flick of his right hand, he immediately shook the man to the side. The man stumbled and nearly fell, and suddenly he got angry and scolded: "X, X, you're here to look for faults, aren't you?" He raised his fist and started attacking Hailong. Hailong's little patience had long since disappeared, and he would teach her a lesson when she heard a rather old voice: "Little San'er, what happened? Do you still want to do it here? Hearing this voice, the man immediately became honest and hurriedly smiled and said, "Manager Li, I, I just want to pull this child out."
The man named Manager Li was an old man in his sixties. He was wearing a clean thick robe. He didn't know when, he was already standing inside the counter. He snorted and said: "What are you talking about, as long as there are guests coming to the door, how can we get out casually? Do you not understand the truth that the door is a guest? Even if people don't buy anything, it's the same. Go, get out and continue yelling." Under the grandeur of the shopkeeper, San'er boy had to look at Hailong hatefully, and kept going out and asking customers.
The words of shopkeeper Li won the hearts of all the guests, including Hailong. There were smiles on the faces of the people who were shopping. Shopkeeper Li said to Hailong with a pleasant face: "Sister, what do you want to buy? Is there anything I can help you with? The medicines we have here are completely genuine. Of course, the corresponding price would be higher."
Hailong was stunned for a moment. He only wanted to ask for directions earlier, and he entered the apothecary for a bit. At this moment, he could not help scratching his head in embarrassment and said, "Actually, I didn't come. to buy things." Shopkeeper Li smiled slightly, saying: "It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, just look at it. If you need anything, let our service staff know."
Hailong's heart was moved, and he suddenly recalled something and said, "Manager Li, thank you for helping me just now. Do you receive any medicinal ingredients here? I happen to have some medicinal ingredients that I want to sell."
Huangjing was a very common medicinal ingredient, ordinary Huangjing was cheap, so shopkeeper Li did not pay much attention to him, especially when he saw that there was only a small piece of sea dragon, which was a small piece, he shook his head silently.
A faint fragrance shot out from Huang Jing who was as clear as crystal, and Shopkeeper Li's eyes twinkled, making Huang Jing in front of his eyes, shout in shock. "This, this is no ordinary Huang Jing!"
Hailong. Huang Jing was ordered by his master to know of this kind of thing. When he was in the forest, he only took it because he looked similar to the one in the Lianyun Mountains, and now he came to the city. It was not a penny, and this was an apothecary, so he thought of selling some Huang Jing in exchange for some silver flowers. He's very smart. When Manager Li said that this was no ordinary Huang Jing, he immediately struck the snake and followed its staff, and said proudly: "Of course it's not the usual Huang Jing, Manager Li, he said, You must look carefully!"
Shopkeeper Li looked at Huang Jing in his hands like a treasure, his old body already trembling slightly. The guests also smelled the scent of Huang Jing, and could not help but gather. Most of them were old guests of this medicine room, and there were many wealthy businessmen among them. Of course, they knew how valuable medicines were.meaning materials, it was definitely a Product that could prolong life!
Seeing Huang Jing lose her temper, Shopkeeper Li muttered: "This, this is the emperor, this is the emperor! Look at all of you, what is so clear and contains hundreds of dark lines, is the best of Huang Jing. — - Huangjing, I am talking about emperor. This part of Huangjing has almost the same effect as a thousand-year-old ginseng, and its medicinal properties are gentle and more easily absorbed. This is truly a rare treasure."
After listening to Shopkeeper Li's words, the guests suddenly shouted, and one of the fat guests approached Hailong and said with a smile, "His brother, I think you can sell me this quick emperor. How much you pay, you can pay. " The businessman was always very clever. Of course, he knew that if a part of this royal essence was bought by a pharmacy and then sold, I was worried that the price would rise a lot, and Hailong seemed to be just a child, he said, and it is naturally cheaper to buy from it. Not many people with the same wishful thinking Once they heard the words of the businessman, they immediately surrounded Hailong and expressed their desire to obtain a part of this imperial essence.
Hailong hid the excitement in his heart, neither agreeing nor vetoing, but only seeing the emperor in the hands of shopkeeper Li. When Manager Li heard these guests' words, he was already in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, my uncle, thank you very much for your continued support for our pharmacy, he said, but in any case, I promised this little brother to buy a share of this royal essence first. Yes, and I plan to keep it for my own use, please do not fight, thank you, I thank you all. ”Of course, the guests knew the position of Shopkeeper Li in the pharmaceutical industry of Tongyuan City, and when they heard him say that he wanted to use it for his own sake, it was for his own sake, the scrambling sound suddenly became more intense.
"Stop." The not-so-hard voice of the Sea Dragon resounded in everyone's ears. All the sounds disappeared at the same time, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on him.
Hailong smiled slightly and said cheerfully: "Everyone, please listen to me, before, when the man humiliated me, Manager Li who freed me from the difficulties, and then, he said he was willing to buy the medicines I brought. I have to sell this piece of Huangjing to him. To everyone, I can only apologize. Shopkeeper Li, let's do it. You set the price, based on your familiarity with the medicines, I'm sure you The price must be very fair. As long as you open it, I will never bid. If you find Huang Jing in the future, I'll give you the same price first. How's it?"
Shopkeeper Li knew that his family was much inferior to this wealthy businessman. He thought he had no hope, but he did not expect Hailong to say such a thing. He was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Big brother, you really believe in people. . You can be sure. , the price this old man gave you is absolutely fair. So, one hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels of silver. This was already the price of a two thousand year old ginseng.
Although Hailong knew that this emperor essence must be worth a lot of money, he did not expect it to be so much, so he said: "OK, this is the deal, this part of Huangjing is yours."
When the surrounding guests saw that Hailong had sold the emperor essence, they immediately dispersed with a sigh. Shopkeeper Li hurriedly said: "Esteemed guests, please don't be disappointed. Although I intend to keep a part of this imperial essence for my own use, I have obtained a recipe before, which is mainly based on imperial essence, and combined with various precious medicinal ingredients, he said, can fix some kind of rejuvenation. Pills. This Huichun pill has the effect of maintaining the face and health. This part of Huang Jing was enough to refine dozens of parts. The so-called seers have a part At that time, the old man will definitely sell the pills to each of you at a price to pay, what do you think?" After hearing this, the guests suddenly became emotional again, and thanked shopkeeper Li one after another.
Hailong said in his heart, "This storekeeper Li is really good at doing business. The so-called cost price was not what he said. This will not only make money, but also not offend anyone. It actually killed two birds with one stone."
After being courteous to the guests, Shopkeeper Li immediately brought Hailong to the back of the shop, he poured a glass of water for Hailong himself, and then went behind to withdraw the money.
