Chapter 432: Fraud
However, Su Lin was not familiar with Lanzhou, so he could only ask Xuanqing.
"A secluded place?" He thought.
"Lanzhou is such a big place, even in the deep mountains, there are often people collecting herbs. If it can be called a secluded place, I am afraid it is only..."
"That is a valley. I have only heard that it is full of rare and exotic plants, but there are also many snakes, insects and beasts, cliffs and abysses, which are very dangerous."
Su Lin was very satisfied. This was simply created by God for him. So after asking for the specific location, he set off immediately.
When he went out, it was still a bustling medicinal material market.
But at this moment, there was a pair of eyes secretly watching Su Lin's actions.
"Boss, Su Lin is out."
Yan Kaidian was on the second floor of his own pharmacy, watching Su Lin. Since he came out of the prefectural government, he has been looking for Su Lin's figure.
Unexpectedly, he was hiding opposite his house, "Humph, you go out and prepare as I said."
He stood by the window with a smile on his face, as if he was about to appreciate his masterpiece.
"Hey, you smashed my herbs and you want to run away?"
Su Lin passed by a stall, but was grabbed by the vendor's hand and shouted: "Everyone, come and judge! Is there still justice in this world?"
"What?" Su Lin looked at the overturned small medicine stall, which was more than one meter away from him.
He sneered: "Isn't your fraud too childish? It's better to pretend to faint on the street, maybe someone will help you."
The vendor was even more arrogant, relying on the crowd of people watching the excitement around him, he cried: "It's obviously you who smashed it, and you blame me for fraud?"
"I risked my life to climb the mountain to collect herbs and sell them in the city for my blind mother. Before she died, she wanted to eat meat, but now these herbs are overturned on the ground and no one wants them!"
The people who didn't know the truth pointed fingers at Su Lin. They seemed to be standing on a moral high ground, but they were blinded by one leaf and didn't know the truth.
Su Lin was disdainful. Could such a trick fool him?
He took out a handful of silver and threw it on the table. "Here is fifty taels. If your medicine is really valuable, I will buy it."
"You come out to cheat me, but you actually use some fake medicine. Oh, that's right. If you use real medicine, you will lose money, right?"
He grabbed a handful from the ground.
The system immediately prompted: "Host, it is detected that you have boiled wood in your hand, which is worthless."
Su Lin sneered and threw the wood in the man's face. "What is this? Rotten wood!"
The vendor's face changed. He was puzzled. The boss didn't say that this person was proficient in pharmacology, but he still refused to admit defeat.
"This... This is the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum I picked in the mountains. It's just that it's been too long, so it's dry like wood. The harder it is, the more valuable it is!"
Su Lin looked at the people around him. They looked a little angry and seemed to want to do something to him.
He smiled faintly: "You hate evil, but you must always clean your eyes and look for yourself."
People came to check the herbs that fell on the ground. To exaggerate, even a dog in this herbal medicine market knows pharmacology.
You can tell whether it is true or false by observing it closely.
Su Lin shook his head and thought to himself that this trick was good, but he lost because of insufficient preparation.
At the same time, he was thinking, is it a coincidence that he suddenly encountered a scam?
While improving his spiritual power, he also gained a sixth sense. He subconsciously looked at Dejitang opposite and found Yan Kaidian's figure in the window on the second floor.
Perhaps because he was guilty, he quickly closed the window and hid.
Su Lin was secretly alert in his heart, but he also guessed why Yan Kaidian was like this. He must have lied in front of Ding Pingzhou.
It was just revenge!
He didn't have time to play with this cunning businessman. He escaped from the crowd and went straight out of the city.
Soon, Su Lin arrived at the destination. Looking at the deep mountains in front of him, he compared the memory in his mind, "Xuan Qing should be talking about this place."
Between the two mountains, there is a deep valley, and the sun can't invade at all, so it looks gloomy.
Above the valley, there is a dark cloud, and it's foggy, just like it's raining heavily.
"Can medicinal herbs grow in such a ghost place?"
I heard from Xuan Qing that although this place is dangerous, it is indeed a holy place for herbalists. Many rare herbs grow in it. Even if you bring out one, it is priceless.
But entering it is almost a death sentence.
Xuan Qing got the five Xuanbing grass from it. At that time, he took a dozen people into the mountains, and only he came back by luck.
Su Lin took a deep breath. He is the protagonist of the system, so he won't capsize in the ditch, right?
With this bonus, he boldly stepped into it, but as soon as he entered the deep valley, he met an uninvited guest.
Hiss
A head was raised from the grass. Su Lin was startled, but he didn't dare to move.
Because it was a poisonous snake, with a blood-red pattern on its head like peach blossoms, constantly spitting out temper.
This is an attack posture!
It raised half of its body, more than one meter high, just enough to bite Su Lin's vitals.
His heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't want to die in the mouth of this poisonous snake. His brain was working fast, thinking about countermeasures.
He definitely couldn't run away, maybe he could use his spiritual power to counterattack first.
Su Lin tried to mobilize all the strength in his body, condensed it in his palm, and then hit the poisonous snake.
Boom!
A spiritual shock wave spurted out from Su Lin's hand, and the venomous snake's head exploded before it could even react.
But then, Su Lin's whole body went limp and he lay directly on the ground.
This move of condensing spiritual energy into a physical entity and performing it is actually the realm of a cultivator.
Although Su Lin had sufficient spiritual energy, he had not entered the body forging stage, and he also consumed a huge amount of energy.
He panted and was glad to have escaped, "What protagonist? The strength is still too weak!"
While complaining, he forced himself to stand up from the ground. It was already late and it was about to enter the night. There were many dangers here, so it was important to hurry.
Not long after walking, he encountered difficulties again.
In this valley, there was actually a natural chasm of a bottomless abyss, which was more than two meters away.
If it were in normal times, with the strength of a warrior in the acquired realm, he would not even need to sprint, and could jump over it on the spot.
But now, Su Lin was already physically exhausted, and if he still did this, it would be a suicide act.
He sighed helplessly and could only rest on the spot.
As night fell, the best way to prevent poisonous insects and beasts was to light a fire.
He found some dead wood and leaves and was about to light them when he suddenly noticed something glittering not far away?
It seemed to be a medicinal herb.
