Only I Shall Be Immortal - 37. Chapter 37-Wisdom Scaring the Fish Monster (Part 2)

Yuhua stood in a daze, Hailong’s departure filled her with loss, but she had already deeply remembered every word Hailong said when she was leaving. She turned her head and glanced at her sister, swearing secretly, no matter what. How hard it is, I must find that Lianyun Mountain in November.

Far away from the mountain village, Hailong settled down. Thinking of Yuhua’s appearance just now, he couldn’t help but feel scared for a while, and thought to himself that it seems better for him to show less skill in front of others in the future. Otherwise, the same situation may happen again, but it seems that this point of cultivation is not useless, at least the bluffing fish spirit is shocked. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help being smug. He raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky before he unfolded his figure and continued on the road. After finally changing to clean clothes, although there were patches on them, Hailong still cherished them very much, and was a lot more careful as he moved forward. Half a day later, under his full speed, he had already driven two hundred miles, and a towering city appeared in front of him. This was the first time Hailong saw the appearance of the city, and he couldn’t help being slightly startled. When they were young, he and Zhang Hao often dreamed together about developing in big cities in the future. In this accidental opportunity, I finally came outside the dream city, and I couldn’t help but feel like a world away. The big city in front of us is about 30 meters high, with flags flying above the city, and teams of soldiers on patrol are constantly patrolling back and forth. Below, the seven or eight-meter-high city gate was wide open, and many civilians were busy coming and going. At the gate, there were about thirty defenders standing upright on both sides, and they would often interrogate the past business travelers.

Hailong wiped the dust off his body, and walked towards the city gate with his head high. He is full of excitement now, and he really wants to quickly see what the city is like.

“Stop.” Just when he walked to the city gate, Hailong was stopped by the guarding soldiers. A man came up and looked at him with some doubts, and said: “Where are you from? What are you from here in Tongyuan City? Hailong hesitated, looking at the soldier in front of him who was much taller than himself, and said: “I am a native of the Western Regions. I came to the Central Plains to do business. When the matter is over, I will naturally return to the Western Regions. I just passed by here. May I ask. Brother, how far is it from the Western Regions?”

The soldier glanced up and down at him a few times, and said with some disdain: “It turned out to be a foreigner, no wonder it looks rustic. It’s far from your Western Regions. It’s only a few thousand miles away to the west. Remember, no accidents are allowed in the city, otherwise, don’t blame us for not being affectionate, you know?”

Hailong pretended to be stubborn and bowed, but only agreed, and the soldiers let him go into this Tongyuan City. Hailong was in a very good mood now, and did not care about the contempt and disdain of the soldiers, and quickly walked into the city he had longed for. As soon as he entered the city, Hailong was taken aback by the hustle and bustle of the city. The wide streets are lined with various shops on both sides, with a wide range of goods for sale. Some young guys who look like guys are constantly hanging around in front of their shops to attract customers.

“A lot of people! I have never seen so many people before. It is worthy of a big city. Tongyuan City? What country does Tongyuan City belong to? No, I need someone to ask.” While thinking, he left. In front of a shop on the roadside, the guy outside the shop was yelling, “Come and see! We have all kinds of precious medicinal materials, nourishing and healthy, come and choose some!” It turned out that this is a drug store. Hailong stepped forward and said, “Brother, I want to ask you something.”

The guy glanced at Hailong, took a look at his patch, and put his mouth down, as if he hadn’t heard his greeting, he continued to beg. When some gorgeously dressed people walked to the front of the shop, he immediately leaned in and enthusiastically introduced the various medicines in their shop. Hailong was shocked and asked the same thing again, but the guy still ignored him.

The anger in his heart gradually rose, Hailong said slightly angrily: “Are you deaf? I call you, can’t you hear me?”

The dude turned around abruptly and said angrily: “What the hell do you call, don’t influence Lao Tzu to greet the guests. Don’t take a piss and take your own picture. Just your shabby, you don’t deserve to come and ask me. Go away. , Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Hailong tightened his left hand, almost stimulating the blood and gossip in the circumstance of anger. He took a deep breath and barely suppressed the anger in his heart. People are low, how do you know that I will not go to your store to buy things and look down on people? I will go in and buy some today.” After speaking, strode into the drugstore.

The guy was shocked and hurried to catch up, but Hailong walked quickly, and when he caught up, he had already entered the shop. The shop is large in scale. There are a circle of counters around it. Behind the counter, there are four or five girls entertaining guests. Near the wall, there are all tall medicine cabinets with various labels on them.

“Stop, your kid, let me go out. This is not where you should be.” The guy grabbed Hailong’s shirt and tried to pull it out. A cold light flashed in Hailong’s eyes, standing still, his mana flowed, and his right hand lightly flicked, immediately shook the buddy aside. The guy staggered, almost fell, and suddenly slammed into his anger, and cursed: “X you X, your kid is here to find the fault, isn’t it?” He raised his fist and started to attack Hailong. Hailong’s little patience has long been worn out, and he was about to teach him a lesson, but he heard a somewhat old voice saying, “Little San’er, what’s the matter? Do it here, do you still want to do it.” “Hearing this voice, the guy immediately became honest, and hurriedly said with a smile: “Treasurer Li, I, I just want to pull this kid out.”

The man named Li’s shopkeeper was an old man who was about 60 years old. He was wearing a clean thick robe. He did not 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 just go out? Don’t you understand the reason why you’re a guest at the door? It’s the same even if people don’t buy things. Go, go out and continue. Scream.” Under the majesty of the shopkeeper, the boy San’er had to stare at Hailong bitterly, and then went out to do his soliciting plan.

Shopkeeper Li’s words won the favor of all customers, including Hailong. There were smiles on the faces of the customers who were buying things. Shopkeeper Li and Yan Yue said Xiang Hailong: “Little brother, what do you want to buy? Can I help you? The medicines here are absolutely genuine. Of course, the corresponding price will be more expensive.”

Hailong was shocked. He just wanted to ask for directions before. It was only a moment of anger to enter the drugstore. At this time, listening to the question, he couldn’t help scratching his head in embarrassment, and said: “Actually, I’m not here to buy things.” The shopkeeper Li smiled slightly. , Said: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t buy it, just take a look. If you need anything, just talk to our service staff.”

Hailong’s heart moved, and suddenly remembered something, and said: “Treasurer Li, thank you for helping me just now. Can you accept medicinal materials here? I happen to have some medicinal materials that I want to sell.”

Shopkeeper Li stunned, and said with a smile: “Where we open the drugstore, there is a reason for not accepting medicinal materials. What kind of medicinal materials the little brother has to show the old man? I have been invading this way for decades, and I still have some eyes on medicine. Yes.” Hailong nodded and stretched his hands into his arms. The Qiankun Ring in his hand attracted a piece of Huang Jing under his urging. This was because he was hungry in the mountains not long ago, so he picked it to fill his hunger. “It’s not a good medicinal material, it’s just a little bit of Polygonatum.” As he said, he passed the piece of Polygonatum that had just been taken out and had a big palm.

Polygonatum is a very common medicinal material, and the price of ordinary Polygonatum is low, so shopkeeper Li didn’t care much, especially when he saw that the sea dragon had only a small piece, he shook his head secretly.

A faint scent came from the crystal clear Huang Jing. Shopkeeper Li’s eyes lit up and he sent Huang Jing to his eyes, making a sound of surprise. “This, this is not ordinary Huang Jing!”

Hailong hesitated, Huang Jing was taught by his masters. At the beginning, he picked it for food in the mountains because it looked similar to the Lianyun Mountain. Now he is in the city. There is no money, and here is a drug store, so he thought of selling some Polygonatum in exchange for some silver flowers. He was very clever. When he heard shopkeeper Li said that this was not an ordinary Huang Jing, he immediately slapped a snake with a stick, and said proudly: “Of course it’s not an ordinary Huang Jing, shopkeeper Li, you have to look carefully!”

Shopkeeper Li looked at the Huang Jing in his hand like a treasure, his old body was already trembling slightly. The guests also smelled the fragrance of Huang Jing, and they couldn’t help but gathered. Most of them were long-term customers of this medicine palace. Among them, there were many wealthy merchants. Of course, they knew what a precious medicinal material meant. A good product that can prolong your life!

Shopkeeper Li looked at Huang Jing already a little gaffe, and murmured: “Here, this is Huang Jing, this is Huang Jing! Look at it, everyone, so crystal clear and transparent, with hundreds of dark lines inside, it is the best of Huang Jing— —Emperor Essence, I’m talking about the emperor’s emperor. This piece of Polygonatum has almost the same effect as millennium ginseng, and its medicinal properties are mild and easier to absorb. It is really a rare treasure.”

After listening to shopkeeper Li’s words, the guests suddenly screamed. One of the chubby guests approached Hailong and said with a smile: “Little brother, I think you can sell this fast emperor to me. How much is it, you open it.” “The merchant has always been very savvy. Of course he knows that if the emperor’s essence is bought by a drug store and then sold, the price will probably rise a lot, and Hailong seems to be just a hairy boy. Buying it from him will naturally be cheaper. That’s too much. There are not few people who have the same wishful thinking. As soon as they heard the businessman’s words, they immediately surrounded the sea dragon and expressed that they wanted to buy this emperor’s essence.

Hailong concealed the excitement in his heart, neither agreeing nor vetoing, just looking at the emperor in the hands of the treasurer Li. Shopkeeper Li was already anxious when he heard the words of these guests, and hurriedly said: “Everyone, uncles, thank you very much for your continued support to our pharmacy, but after all, this emperor was my first promise to this little brother to buy it. Yes, and I’m going to keep it for my own use. Please don’t fight, thank you, I thank you.” Of course, the guests know the position of shopkeeper Li in the medical world of Tongyuan City. When he heard that he wanted to use it for his own use, the scramble was even more pronounced. Sheng.

“Stop.” Hailong’s voice that didn’t sound too loud resounded in everyone’s ears, all the noise almost 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 that, when the guy embarrassed me, it was the shopkeeper Li who relieved me of the embarrassment. Later, he said that he was willing to buy the medicine I brought. I must sell this piece of Huang Jing to him. For everyone, I can only say sorry. Shopkeeper Li, let’s do it. You make a price, based on your familiarity with medicines, I believe you The price must be very fair. As long as you offer it, I will never bargain. If you find Huang Jing in the future, I will give you priority at the same price. How?”

Shopkeeper Li knew that his wealth was far less than those of these wealthy businessmen. He thought he was hopeless, but he didn’t expect Hailong to say so. He was overjoyed and said gratefully: “Little brother, you are really a believer. Don’t worry. , The price that Laogu offers you is absolutely fair. Let’s say one hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels of silver. This is already the price of 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.

When the surrounding guests saw that Hailong had already sold the emperor’s essence, they suddenly sighed and dispersed. Shopkeeper Li hurriedly said: “Dear guests, please don’t be disappointed. Although I plan to keep this emperor essence for my own use, I used to get a prescription based on emperor essence, combined with a variety of precious medicinal materials, and can refine a kind of rejuvenation. Pills. This Huichun pill has the effect of rejuvenating the face and keeping in good health. This piece of Huangjing is enough to refine dozens of pills. The so-called seer has a share. When the time comes, the old man will sell everyone a pill at the cost price. What do you think?” After hearing this, these guests suddenly felt emotional again and thanked the shopkeeper Li one after another.

Hailong said in his heart: “This shopkeeper Li can really do business. The so-called cost price is not his final say. This will not only make money but also not sin, it really kills two birds with one stone.”

After shopkeeper Li was polite to the guests, he immediately led Hailong to the back of the shop. He poured a glass of water for Hailong himself, and then went to the back to withdraw money.
