Chapter 238 An old friend in the building
Even though he had lived in Hanging City for more than a month, Ye Chunyang was still shocked by the huge crowds of people after arriving in Fangshi.
Obviously, today's Fangshi has attracted many nearby sects.
This monthly market alone is so crowded. I wonder what the scale of the trade fair jointly organized by various business families will be six months later?
After taking a long breath, Ye Chunyang walked straight into the market without pausing.
Although the purpose of this time is to sell the elixir and find the essence of black iron, it would be good if we can find some suitable treasures among them.
After walking around the market for a few times, Ye Chunyang discovered that the Mu family had quite a few shops here, and there was a lot of customer traffic. It was obvious that the business was booming, and the flow of treasures was far more than other shops.
For some reasons, Ye Chunyang didn't want to deal with the Mu family for the time being, so he deliberately avoided the Mu family's shops and chose a store called "Tian Ding Lou" to go in.
Thousand-year-old elixirs are worth a lot of money and cannot be purchased in ordinary stores. Although the customer flow here is not as good as the Mu family's store, there are still many treasures and the quality is extraordinary, and it looks like a wealthy place.
"Senior, we are honored to come to our store. I wonder what kind of treasures you need, senior?"
Because Ye Chunyang did not deliberately restrain his aura, as soon as he entered the store, he was greeted by an old man with gray beard and hair. He seemed to be the shopkeeper of the store, but his cultivation level was not high. He was only around the tenth level of Qi Refining, so he saw Ye Chunyang. Very respectful.
"I am not purchasing, but I want to exchange some spiritual stones." Ye Chunyang said calmly.
"I see, I wonder what senior wants to exchange for the spirit stone? If the item is of good quality, the store's price will surely satisfy senior." The old man said with a smile.
Ye Chunyang glanced at the old man and took out a thousand-year-old elixir without saying anything. Suddenly the whole shop was filled with the fragrance of the medicinal herbs. All the passers-by couldn't help but look at it with shock and greed.
"This medicine is full of spiritual energy. Could it be that it has ingredients that are hundreds of years old?" The old man was slightly shocked. He had seen a lot of rare medicinal materials, but the ingredients of the medicinal materials held by the man in front of him were at least five hundred years old. Medicinal materials of such an age It was rare, so he was surprised for a moment.
Seeing the surprised look on the old man's face, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't know whether it was because the other man's eyesight was too poor or his elixir was too rare, but this old man actually saw it as having ingredients that were only hundreds of years old.
Looking around, Ye Chunyang didn't care about other people's enthusiasm and said calmly: "The ingredients of this medicine have been around for thousands of years. If your store is interested in purchasing it, I don't have high requirements. I only need 30,000 high-quality spiritual stones."
The Millennium Spiritual Grass is rare in the world and is worth no less than the second-level upper-level demon elixir. Ye Chunyang is confident that 30,000 spirit stones are already the lowest price.
"Millennium elixir!"
Not only the old man in the store, but also the surrounding customers couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Looking at the elixir in Ye Chunyang's hand, their hearts became increasingly hot. Not to mention buying such a elixir, they had never even seen it. See.
At that moment, many monks were ready to take action.
Ye Chunyang looked around at everyone, sneered in his heart, and suddenly released his breath.
Although there were many monks present, most of them were below the foundation building stage. How could they withstand Ye Chunyang's spiritual pressure? Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and there was a look of fear in their eyes.
"How about it? If your store can't take this thousand-year-old elixir, I will have to sell it in other stores." Ye Chunyang looked at the old man and said silently.
"Senior, wait!"
The old man was suddenly frightened. Missing this thousand-year-old elixir would be a loss for them, so he hurriedly said: "Senior, please be patient. The price that senior asked for is naturally affordable by the small shop, but this medicine is too expensive." , it needs to be seen by the shopkeeper in person.”
"You are not the shopkeeper?" Ye Chunyang said in surprise.
The old man shook his head and said with a humble smile: "Senior, you are so proud of me. I am just a sales person in the store, not the shopkeeper. However, my shopkeeper is in the backyard. If you don't mind, can you please give this medicine to me?" Will the shopkeeper take stock for a moment?"
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly and handed the elixir to the old man after a moment.
This medicine has been banned by him. Unless he undoes it himself, if others have other intentions, the medicine will be destroyed. Therefore, Ye Chunyang is not worried about someone secretly deceiving him.
After receiving the elixir, the old man looked dignified, bowed to Ye Chunyang, and said: "Senior, please stay here for a moment. I will go to see the shopkeeper now. If it is authentic, I will give you the price required by senior." "
After speaking, the old man respectfully left.
Ye Chunyang was not in a hurry and sat calmly waiting.
After about half a cup of tea, the old man came back to the back hall, saluted him with a smile, and said: "After appraisal by my shopkeeper, the elixir produced by my senior is indeed a thousand years old. However, the shopkeeper would like to ask my senior to explain it. I don't know. Senior, are you willing to honor me?"
"Your shopkeeper wants to see me? Why?" Ye Chunyang was a little surprised.
The old man shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific details, but the shopkeeper seems to be very interested in the spiritual grass of senior, so he probably wants to make friends with senior."
Ye Chunyang frowned, thinking that maybe the shopkeeper here wanted to use this thousand-year-old elixir to find out his true identity. In that case, there was no need to meet him.
So he said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, I just want to sell medicinal materials. If your shopkeeper likes this thing, just bid for it. I have other important matters, so I won't meet with the shopkeeper."
"This..." The old man looked embarrassed.
Seeing this, Ye Chunyang's face darkened slightly and he said: "It seems that your store is not sincere in buying this elixir. In this case, I have no choice but to trade elsewhere."
With a sneer, Ye Chunyang stood up quickly.
The old man's face changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to say some words of retention. Just then, a soft and delicate voice suddenly came from the back hall: "Fellow Taoist, stay here. The little girl made an appointment with Taoist Taoist just because she felt that the elixir in Taoist Taoist's hand was in his hand." Bufan, I would like to ask Taoyou whether there are any other elixirs. If so, our store is willing to pay a lot of money to buy them.”
Hearing the sound, Ye Chunyang paused suddenly, feeling that the sound was vaguely familiar.
Surprised, he looked back, surprise suddenly showing on his face.
The person who spoke turned out to be Xue Meiren, whom she had met once before in Konghai Zhai in the northwest.
Ye Chunyang was surprised. From this point of view, both Tiandeng Building and Kukai Zhai were the property of this woman.
Ye Chunyang had no ill feelings toward the enchanting beauty Xue. He even compared her to Mu Linger when she first came out of the Blood Hua Sect. This woman was slightly better than her in terms of personality and appearance.
And after many years of separation, Xue Meiren has now advanced from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage. Such progress also surprised Ye Chunyang.
However, looking at Xue Meiren's expression at this time, it was obvious that she did not recognize herself, so Ye Chunyang looked around and pretended to be nonchalant and said: "The shopkeeper is joking, the thousand-year-old elixir is a rare thing, I got it." One plant is already a great blessing, how can we have more?”
Hearing these words, Xue Meiren looked at Ye Chunyang intently for a while, her enchanting face always maintained a charming smile. Ye Chunyang did not shy away from this and looked at her calmly.
After a moment, a strange color flashed across Xue Meiren's eyes, then she chuckled, and stopped beside him with a scent of fragrance, saying: "What the fellow Taoist said is absolutely true, but the little girl always likes to make friends with monks from all walks of life. , Taoist friends, why don’t you come together to show your respect?”
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed, and he looked directly into the bright beautiful eyes of Beauty Xue, and smiled secretly in his heart.
Obviously, there was something in this woman's words. It seemed that she didn't just want to buy the elixir. However, she had been in contact with this woman before, and Ye Chunyang knew a little about her. With her straightforward personality, she would not have any other intentions.
Moreover, even if this woman really has evil intentions, he might not be afraid of her given his cultivation level.
After flashing in his mind, Ye Chunyang immediately smiled and said: "Since the shopkeeper is so kind, if I refuse again, it will be my fault."
When Xue Meiren heard this, she immediately said happily: "Fellow Taoist is indeed a cheerful person. This is not a place for conversation. Friend Taoist, please come with me."
After saying that, he walked towards the backyard with a chuckle.
Ye Chunyang followed calmly.
Not long after, Xue Meiren took the lead and walked into a teahouse. She ordered the maid to serve tea and then dismissed everyone. Such a small move seemed unintentional, but in Ye Chunyang's eyes, it confirmed his suspicion.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat." Xue Meiren smiled and saluted.
Ye Chunyang was not polite and sat down calmly.
After looking at him, Xue Meiren waved her hand, took out a Qiankun bag, and said: "This is the reward for buying Taoist elixir in our shop, Taoist friend, please accept it."
Ye Chunyang nodded and took it silently, but when he counted it with his spiritual consciousness, he frowned slightly, looked at Xue Meiren and said: "My thousand-year-old spiritual grass only sells for 30,000 spiritual stones, what does shopkeeper Xue mean by this? "
There were actually 40,000 spirit stones in this Qiankun bag, which was 10,000 more than the price quoted by Ye Chunyang.
Ye Chunyang has always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and the benefits he received for free were not really beneficial to him.
Xue Meiren pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me. From the perspective of this little girl, the price of this thousand-year-old elixir is more than tens of thousands of spiritual stones. It is said that I bought it for 40,000 yuan." Bao still thinks that our store has taken advantage of it, so you don’t have to worry about anything else.”
Ye Chunyang frowned.
Before he could speak, Xue Meiren looked solemn and said: "Forgive me, little lady, from what you said just now, I boldly guessed that you should still have a thousand-year elixir in your hands, but I don't know if our store will bid for it." Are you not satisfied? If so, you can still ask, as long as the amount is not astronomical, the little girl thinks she can still afford it."
This short sentence shows the bold character of this woman.
Ye Chunyang secretly nodded, his favorable impression of Mei Xue slightly increased, and he immediately said bluntly: "Shopkeeper Xue has a keen eye, I do still have a thousand-year elixir in my hand, but I don't plan to sell it anymore."
Hearing this, Miss Xue's beautiful eyes flashed with disappointment.
But when she heard Ye Chunyang's next words, her heart moved.
"Although the remaining elixirs are no longer for sale, if your store has some things that I need, I can consider exchanging them for things." Ye Chunyang said.
Xue Meiren's bright eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked: "I wonder what my friend needs? Although the little girl can't guarantee that her business can be on par with other major families, she still has some background. As long as she is within her ability, she will be satisfied. Taoist friends ask for it.”
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang was secretly shocked.
With this confidence, and considering the great situation of Kukaisai in the northwest area, I am afraid that the origin of Xue Meiren is not simple.
But even though he thought so, Ye Chunyang didn't reveal anything and said calmly: "I wonder if your store has the essence of black iron? If you have such a thing, I don't mind exchanging it for the thousand-year elixir."
