Chapter 25 Blood Toad Leaf
Very fair price?
Both Yuyan and the boy were so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground!
There really is a fool who offers 50,000 small coins to buy a leaf, this kid really doesn't know what to buy!
The young man couldn't close his mouth, drips of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was ecstatic. He really met a big fat sheep today, and he said quickly: "This young master has sharp eyes, and his eyes are like torches, which is admirable! To be honest, this leaf The real value of the money is definitely more than... a hundred thousand small coins, if you hand them out, you will only earn tens of thousands of small coins, young master, amazing, I admire it! Young master, did you wrap it up for you?"
Ning Xiaochuan said: "Don't be in a hurry. Tell me where you picked this leaf first, and I will give you 50,000 coins immediately."
This leaf is naturally not worth 50,000 coins, but it is not an ordinary leaf either.
This is the leaf of the blood toad tree!
Blood toad wood is a kind of mysterious spirit wood that can be used as medicine.
Although the value is not as good as "Golden Silk Purple Wood", it is also extremely expensive.
A tael of blood toad wood can probably be sold for a tael of green gold.
In other words, the price of blood toad wood is as high as green gold.
In the Yulan Empire, there are often some legends that a certain warrior picked up a branch of blood toad wood and sold it, and immediately became rich.
Blood toad wood is extremely rare, and it is extremely difficult to identify it. Even if many warriors encounter blood toad wood, they may pass by this kind of mysterious wood, and they will not recognize its value at all.
Only a mind-cultivator who is familiar with mysterious medicine and mysterious wood can perceive the extraordinaryness of blood toad wood through his keen perception ability.
Ning Xiaochuan has seen a picture of "Blood Toad Wood" in the "Xuanling Wood Manual" of the Hou Mansion, and there are detailed records about "Blood Toad Wood". Therefore, he was able to recognize the leaves of the blood toad tree on the stall at a glance.
Mysterious spirit wood does not refer to a certain kind of wood, but refers to a classification of all precious sacred woods. Belonging to Xizhen Baomu, it is hard to come by.
The value of Xuanling wood is higher than that of lapis lazuli and Xuanshi.
Forty-seven kinds of mysterious woods are recorded in the "Xuanling Wood Code", among which, the value of some mysterious woods is even higher than that of "golden silk purple wood".
Blood toad wood, in the "Xuanlingmu Canon", is considered to be the lowest-ranked Xuanlingwood.
Of course, not all of the forty-seven kinds of mysterious woods recorded in the "Xuan Lingmu Canon" are not all of them.
A piece of blood toad tree leaf is in front of him, Ning Xiaochuan is naturally very excited, if he can find a blood toad tree, then he will really become rich overnight, maybe even enough to redeem Yu Ningsheng money.
However, Ning Xiaochuan still had a very calm expression on his face, and asked Yuyan to take out five hundred large silver coins, put them in front of the young man, and said: "The stall owner just needs to tell me where this leaf was picked. The five hundred silver coins are yours."
Five hundred big silver coins were placed on the ground by Ning Xiaochuan, the light was dazzling, and even the stall owners around looked over, with a greedy look in their eyes, and kept swallowing their saliva.
The boy was also swallowing.
He started to set up a street stall here when he was eight years old, bluffing and cheating. Although there were times when he succeeded, the most he made was 8,000 small coins, and he was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several days.
This time it was 50,000 small coins!
"I... I... I won't sell it anymore!" The boy finally held back.
Just kidding, someone bought a leaf with 50,000 small coins, which shows that this leaf must have a lot of background, maybe 50,000 small coins are only a fraction of the value of this leaf.
Sell?
Selling is a fool.
Ning Xiaochuan was not surprised at all, smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, what matters in business is your willingness, since you don't want to, then forget it."
Under the straight eyes of the young man, Ning Xiaochuan collected another five hundred silver coins. Get out, this booth.
Seeing that Ning Xiaochuan was so forthright, the young man didn't even try to hold him back, his heart skipped a beat, and he began to regret it, that was 50,000 small coins!
In the end, the boy didn't chase after Ning Xiaochuan, wrapped up the straw mat, pinched the leaf in his hand, and left the street without stopping, ran to Xuanyezhai, and asked the shopkeeper of Xuanyezhai to appraise the piece The value of the leaves.
...
Ning Xiaochuan brought Yuyan to a gorgeous restaurant in Nanshanji, and sat on the second floor by the window, ready to have lunch.
This restaurant is very quaintly built, it receives warriors from all over the world, many of them are young talents who want to make a name for themselves in the imperial city.
The one they discussed most was the "Tiandi Xuegong".
The Tiandi Academy only recruits students once every five years, so it is natural that countless geniuses yearn for it. Once admitted to the Tiandi Academy, it will really be like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, and it will be just around the corner to become a famous and powerful man.
They are all geniuses with dreams!
"Why did the young master spend 50,000 small coins to buy a leaf? Why did the young man suddenly stop selling it? Why didn't he sell it, and the young master didn't keep it at all?" Along the way, Yuyan wanted to ask these questions, until now she Just asked.
She has never felt that she is stupid, at least when she was in Guanyulou, she learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting very quickly, and her skills far surpassed those prostitutes.
But after being with Ning Xiaochuan, she always felt that her brain was not enough, and she became a little clumsy. She couldn't figure out what this young master who was not much older than herself was thinking at all.
Ning Xiaochuan asked Yuyan to sit down, but Yuyan refused at first, there is no reason for a maid to sit at the same table with her master, but under Ning Xiaochuan's order, she finally sat down in fear, but did not dare to raise her head.
Ning Xiaochuan propped up the window lattice of the restaurant with his hands, glanced at the street below, and said with a faint smile: "There will be results soon."
...
Below the restaurant.
The poorly dressed young man came out of Xuanye Zhai in a hurry, looking very anxious, he grabbed the people on the side of the road and asked about Ning Xiaochuan's whereabouts.
Someone pointed him in the direction of the restaurant, and then he ran over quickly.
"Fuck me, since the shopkeeper of Xuanye Zhai said that this leaf is not a mysterious medicine, then it must not be a mysterious medicine. Sorry! If I knew it earlier, I would have sold this leaf to the big guy. I don't know if that guy can still buy it now." Buy it." The boy regretted it quite a bit, just like his wife ran away with someone, his intestines were green with regret.
He rushed into the restaurant in a hurry, looking around for Ning Xiaochuan.
But he didn't know that just as he rushed out of Xuanyezhai, the shopkeeper of Xuanyezhai came out, staring at the back of him leaving with gloomy eyes, and beckoned slightly with his palm, a warrior with a thick back and waist walked over.
"You go and follow him!" Xuanyezhai's treasurer whispered in the warrior's ear, and then walked into Xuanyezhai.
Ning Xiaochuan, who was sitting on the second floor, naturally saw all this, and just shook his head and smiled, "There are really enough greedy people."
Yuyan also wanted to look out the window, and asked curiously, "Master, who are you talking about?"
Ning Xiaochuan looked at the wine glass on the table, smiled without saying a word.
"Boom!"
A series of footsteps!
"My lord! My lord! I finally found you." The young man rushed up panting, lying on the side of the table panting.
Ning Xiaochuan naturally saw him go upstairs, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, pretending to be surprised: "Stand owner, are you looking for me?"
The young man nodded vigorously, then took out the leaf of the blood toad tree, carefully placed it on the table, and said with a cautious expression on his face, "Now can I sell this sacred leaf to you?"
Ning Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Then why didn't you sell it just now?"
The young man said cautiously: "The time was not right just now. Naturally, such a big business needs to choose an auspicious day. I just went to Lin Sanzhi from Jikou to make a divination. Now is the auspicious day. If you miss this time Duan, we will have to wait another year. Your lord! Buy it quickly! If you don’t make a move, you will miss the auspicious day.”
The young man stared at Ning Xiaochuan eagerly, fearing that Ning Xiaochuan would not buy it if his mind opened up.
Ning Xiaochuan still sat there steadily, paused, and said with a smile: "This brother, what's your name?"
The young man was anxious, and said with certainty: "My name doesn't sound good, so don't ask me, my lord. Let's talk about the business first, and then talk about the name, will it work?"
Ning Xiaochuan said: "Then sit down and have a glass of wine, let's talk about the business slowly."
The young man shook his heart and said, "Okay! For the sake of the auspicious day, can I only sell 30,000 small coins?"
Ning Xiaochuan glanced slightly at the blood toad tree leaves on the table, and said, "It's not about the price."
The young man was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth and said, "Then ten thousand small coins!" Immediately afterwards, he knelt on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and said, "My lord! I swear to God, the value of this leaf At least it's worth... 100,000 small coins. If it wasn't for a long-sick grandfather in my family, I wouldn't sell it to you cheaply with 10,000 small coins. Father, heal the illness!"
Just now, when he went to the shopkeeper of Xuanyezhai for appraisal, the shopkeeper told him that this leaf was only worth eighty small coins at most.
If it can be sold for 10,000 small coins, it will be a big profit.
The young master thought so in his heart.
The young man was talking nonsense, and Ning Xiaochuan naturally didn't believe a word, and said, "Okay then! I bought the leaves, but you have to tell me where you picked the leaves from? If you can take me there personally , then I bought the leaf at the original price, what do you think?"
The boy's eyes lit up, and he said, "What's the original price?"
"50,000 small coins!" Ning Xiaochuan stretched out five fingers.
The boy thought that he would be lucky if he could sell 10,000 coins, but he didn't expect that this fool would actually spend 50,000 coins to buy it!
Damn, take advantage of it, this is definitely a mistake!
