Chapter 005: Spiritual Herb Hall
Chapter 005
The market is in the center of Meteorite City, only a mile away from the Ling family, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to get there.
It was the first time for Ling Xiao to see such a strange trading market, and he immediately wandered around with great interest. Looking at the cries of vendors in the streets and alleys, looking at the dazzling array of exotic objects on the street. For the first time, Ling Xiao felt that this world was really interesting, as if he had returned to ancient times.
Ling Xiao swept away the depression in his heart. He wanted to relax and relax today. He practiced continuously for half a month. Although he didn't find it boring, it was not the most suitable way for him to cultivate hard without relaxing. Ling Xiao has always believed that a combination of work and rest is the best way for him.
Ling Xiao looked east and west, as if a country bumpkin who had never seen the world entered the city, and he looked strange and inexplicable when he saw everything, which made people feel very funny.
Ling Xiao walked to a relatively grand ancient building, and saw three simple and powerful characters "Lingcaotang" engraved on the plaque.
Ling Xiao searched his memory and found out that this is the only place in Meteorite City that specializes in buying and selling spirit herbs.
In Xuanling Continent, spirit herbs are divided into ranks one to ten. The higher the rank, the higher the value of the spirit grass. Generally, the value of the first rank spirit grass is more than ten gold coins, the second rank spirit grass is worth more than a thousand gold coins, and the third rank spirit grass is worth more than one thousand gold coins. Spirit grasses are worth more than 10,000 gold coins, and spirit grasses that reach the fourth level are almost worth more than 100,000 gold coins, and generally there is no market for them.
The Spirit Herb Hall also only buys the first- and second-tier spirit herbs. Generally, the spirit herbs that are above the third and fourth tiers will be auctioned at the auction, and only in this way can they be sold at a higher price.
In Meteorite City, there are quite a few mercenaries and adventurers who go to the nearby barren mountains to look for spirit grass, and then get the spirit grass hall to exchange for gold coins. Get rich. It's just that there are many spirit beasts in the barren mountain range, and you often encounter some low-level spirit beasts on the periphery, which may not be dangerous. If you go deeper, you will encounter high-level spirit beasts. Lost life. Therefore, it is unrealistic for anyone to dream of looking for high-level spirit grass everywhere, because they are often dismembered by powerful spirit beasts before finding the spirit grass.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still walked into the Lingcao Hall.
In front of the door, two pretty maids bowed and said "Welcome".
Ling Xiao glanced at the two maids and secretly praised "these two girls are much more beautiful than the three-star welcome girl Lang".
Entering the Spiritual Grass Chang, the spacious and comfortable hall is filled with a strong smell of spiritual grass, and you can feel refreshed just by taking a little breath.
Ling Xiao looked from the counter on the right, and saw strange spiritual herbs that he had never seen before placed in the counter, which dazzled him. area to go.
Ling Xiao's eyes fell on a gray dull spiritual grass, looking at the previous explanation.
"Second-level low-level spiritual grass, cold star grass, worth 1,500 gold coins, water-type spiritual grass, can be used as medicine to practice alchemy, helps water-type warriors absorb it, can increase profound strength, and help heal injuries...".
"Damn, such a rotten herb is so valuable?" Ling Xiao said in his heart.
Then, he turned his attention to other spiritual herbs, and he saw a familiar one.
"Second-level low-level spiritual grass, black ginseng king, worth 1,800 gold coins, non-attribute spiritual grass, can be used as medicine to practice alchemy, can increase profound strength, and prolong life...".
"This ginseng is at least 500 years old. It's actually only a low-level second-level spiritual herb. Wouldn't the second-tier mid-level spiritual herb be more than a thousand years old?" Ling Xiao thought involuntarily.
In fact, Ling Xiao only guessed partly correctly. Apart from the age of the spirit grass, it is mainly determined by its efficacy. The more obvious the efficacy, the higher the grade.
After Ling Xiao walked around, an old man in front of the counter asked with a smile, "Does the young master have the spirit grass you want?".
"Hehe, I'll just take a look at it casually," Ling Xiao said a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay." The old man nodded slightly, and there was no displeasure on his face.
After turning around, Ling Xiao felt embarrassed and just couldn't buy it, just as he was about to turn around and leave.
The old man took out a book from nowhere and handed it to Ling Xiao, "This is the "Lingcaolu" given away for free by our store, please take it back and have a look, young master. The spirit grass can also be provided to us, and the price of our spirit grass hall is absolutely fair and reasonable."
Ling Xiao's eyes brightened, and he happily took the "Lingcaolu" and left the Lingcao Hall after thanking him.
With the "Ling Cao Lu", Ling Xiao can understand the types, functions and shapes of the spirit grass in this continent. After he has mastered the Twelve Paths, he will have to find some spiritual herbs to replenish his body, increase his profound strength, make it easier to advance, or sell them. These days it is impossible to have no money, and finding spiritual grass is undoubtedly the fastest way to get rich.
Ling Xiao carried "Lingcaolu" in her arms happily, and when she was about to go back, she found that the street in front of her was crowded with people. Ling Xiao was curious and squeezed into the crowd.
I saw a long-haired woman wearing simple clothes kneeling in front of the road. Her long hair concealed her face. Only from her figure, she could be sure that the woman was only about fifteen or six years old. A playing card, with a few big bright red characters written on it, "Sell your body to bury your mother".
In Meteorite City, except for the big families and a few business-minded traders, those ordinary civilians can eat enough food and clothing every day. Like some poor families, it is not surprising that people starve to death, so now this girl "Selling one's body to bury one's mother" is not uncommon in Meteorite City.
"Tsk tsk... This girl has a good figure, it should be good to buy it back and be a personal maid," said a wealthy businessman with a big belly, squinting at the girl kneeling on the ground.
"It's a good word, but this dead person, will you feel bad luck? If you buy it back and affect your luck, you will be in trouble." Another thin, short middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe said eccentrically.
"Go, who doesn't know that you, Lu Donggua, are afraid of your tigress. If you let her know that you bought a maid, she might break your legs." Humanely, then he said to the girl, "Hey, raise your head and let the uncle see, if you look good, the uncle will buy you."
The girl trembled slightly, raised her head slowly, and then gently pushed back her long hair in front of her face.
A clean and fair face appeared in front of my eyes, with no makeup applied, showing natural beauty, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of autumn eyes filled with countless grievances, arousing pity, Qiong nose ###, round red lips alluring People, people have an urge to immediately go up to them and suck them up.
This girl is actually a beauty embryo, the childishness on her face has not faded, there is still a little greenness, but the exquisite figure looks slim, it is not difficult to imagine, as long as she is given two years to grow up , she must be a beautiful woman who can overwhelm the city and the country.
The men around swallowed, their eyes showing greed.
"I'll offer ten gold coins, and I'll take you," the rich businessman with a big belly couldn't wait to bid. Ten gold coins are enough for an ordinary person to live for a year, but for an ordinary servant, they can only be sold for five gold coins. You must know that the most indispensable thing in the Xuanling Continent is the population. The Meteorite City alone has a population of 200 to 300 million. You can imagine how many people there are in the vast and boundless continent.
"I'll pay you twenty gold coins," the thin, middle-aged man said, thinking to himself, damn it, even if he had to compete with the tiger mother at home, he would still buy this girl, she's so beautiful.
"Hmph, I'll offer thirty gold coins," the rich businessman with a big belly snorted coldly.
"I'll offer fifty gold coins." At this time, another wealthy businessman joined the bid.
"I offer fifty-five gold coins."
"I offer sixty gold coins."
...
The price was rising steadily, which made the surrounding civilians startled. They had never seen such a high price for a servant. If it was the other way around, they would all be smashed to death by these gold coins.
The girl kneeling on the ground, her long hair covered her face again, she remained motionless, as if she didn't care about the prices of these rich merchants' newspapers.
In the end, the rich businessman with a big belly shook his fat body, and shouted, "I offer two hundred gold coins, whoever is higher than me, I will admit defeat."
"Wow!" At this moment, the people around were in an uproar.
These two hundred gold coins are enough to buy many servants, and perhaps many beautiful women.
Many rich merchants shut up one after another. It's not that they don't have the money to bid, but they just feel that paying two hundred gold coins for a maid is really not worthwhile.
"Hey... No one bids with me anymore, then you are mine." The rich businessman with a big belly looked at the girl kneeling on the ground and said greedily.
At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone gave way one after another.
An arrogant boy came to the rich businessman with a big belly, pointed to the girl kneeling on the ground and said, "This girl, our young master wants it, so don't think about any of you."
"How can this be done? I have already bid two hundred gold coins. Could it be that your young master outbid me?" The rich businessman with a big belly said unwillingly.
The boy snorted coldly, "Do you know who my young master is?".
"No matter who it is, whoever wants to compete with me for this woman has to pay more than me." The wealthy businessman with a big belly is also a little famous in Meteorite, except for a few big families, he is really not afraid of anyone.
"Really? It seems that my Li family's face is not very useful in Meteorite City." The crowd spread out again, and a young man in his twenties walked in slowly, followed by several stout servants.
This young man is plain looking, thin body, sickly pale face, sloppy footsteps, one can tell at a glance that he is a drunk and lustful person. He is Li Guangyin, a direct descendant of the Li family of the three major families in Meteorite City. He is also known as a villain in Meteorite City. , Luo Biao of the Luo family also called Meteorite City "Three Evil Young Masters".
The rich businessman with a big belly looked sideways, his expression changed, and cold sweat immediately oozes from his forehead. He respectfully said to Li Guangyin, "It turns out that it is Young Master Li. How dare a villain compete with Young Master Li for a woman? A villain!" This is leaving... this is leaving".
The rich businessman with a big belly kept backing away while bowing his body.
"Hmph, I want to leave. If you don't teach me a lesson, you really don't care about our Li family. You broke his leg," Li Guangyin said with a cold snort.
Hearing this, the rich businessman with a big belly quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Young Master Li, please forgive me... let me go...".
