Chapter 18 Pingwu County

Seeing Lu Xiaotian coming out, the primordial spirit of the old man in black robe said with great joy, "My good apprentice, you have finally come out, please let me out, even if I'm a cow or a horse for you, I will agree to any conditions."

In the past few months, he can't practice, no one talks, only the white mist, and the gravel on the ground. He can bear this kind of dry life, but his current state of primordial spirit will also consume his lifespan of. This kind of endless waiting can make people crazy. And in the past few months, Lu Xiaotian has tried many times. As long as he moves his mind, wisps of fog will wrap him and protect him. Without any worries, Lu Xiaotian can face the old man in black calmly. .

"Do me a job? I don't have this life to bear. Even the few people who ventured into the canyon with you were killed by you. I don't dare to take such a risk with my means." Lu Xiaotian said.

"In the world of cultivating immortals, the jungle has been preying on the weak since ancient times. It is very common for monks to kill each other for treasures. If I don't kill them, they won't let me go." The black-robed old man sneered.

Lu Xiaotian lost his voice, "You actually killed them all!"

The black-robed old man's face trembled, he was such a treacherous and cunning man, he soon realized that Lu Xiaotian was trying to trick him. With such scheming at such a young age, if it weren't for his poor qualifications, he would probably emerge sooner or later. It seems that blindly begging him has no effect, and this kid will not be fooled in all likelihood, so he can only continue to find a way out of this cage.

Lu Xiaotian asked a few more questions, but the black-robed old man fell silent after realizing he had been fooled, or taunted him with ironic remarks. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help being a little annoyed. He was shocked when he heard that the black-robed old man had killed the other three people. Just based on the few words of the black-robed old man, he can probably judge the danger of the world of cultivating immortals. It seems that he needs to be more careful in the future, otherwise it will be too late to regret if he accidentally falls into someone else's trap.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian opened his eyes, and the dense forest came into view again. He rode on the back of the leopard, while driving out, while practicing, and at the same time controlling Xiaolu according to the insect taming chapter of "Beast Taming". Ant's way.

Half a month later, in a bustling county town, there were vendors selling bamboo weaving, candied haws, and wild animal skins on both sides of the street. Lu Xiaotian carried a large backpack full of things, shuttled among the gentry, merchants, and civilians, and from time to time he could see gangsters with swords on their backs and dressed in hard clothes.

"I didn't expect Pingwu County to be like this. It looks more lively than Qingzhu County."

Lu Xiaotian looked at the pedestrians and the shops on the side of the street with great interest. He stayed in the canyon for more than half a year and wandered in the mountains for several months without seeing anyone. Somewhat excited. According to his knowledge, Pingwu County is bordered by Qingzhu County, and he came here by accident because he didn't know the way in the deep mountains.

But soon his mood calmed down, and he stood in front of a pharmacy. There was an antique plaque on the pharmacy, which said Miaozhitang. This is the fourth pharmacy he has seen along the way, and it is the most magnificent one. It should be able to offer him a good price for the herbs.

There were three guys in their early twenties in the store, as well as an old doctor sitting in the hall and a fat tent manager with a ruddy complexion. Lu Xiaotian walked in, looked at several people, and asked one of the slightly taller guys, "Can you buy herbs in the store?"

"Our Miaozhitang is the largest pharmacy in Pingwu County. Some common herbal medicines are not worth it. You are a little boy, why are you joining in the fun?"

There were a few customers in the store, and the guy was greeting them, waving impatiently. The better herbal medicines are, most of them are in the deep mountains and old forests. This kind of place is inaccessible, and there are often fierce beasts and snakes. Even some warriors dare not enter easily. As for some common herbal medicines in the periphery, Miaozhitang has its own sources of herbal medicines, and it looks down on such retail investors.

Lu Xiaotian frowned, and took out a rather large sealwort from the burden on his back, and there were dozens of fine knots on it.

"The sealwort that is more than forty years old!" The old doctor sitting in the hall is the most sensitive to the herbal medicine of the previous year, and he can see at a glance that this sealwort is extraordinary. Although it is not the best, it is already a good herbal medicine.

"How much do you bid for this sealwort?" Lu Xiaotian asked.

"Little brother, it's really not easy. Huang Jing is rare in this year. I can offer you thirty taels of silver. What do you think, little brother?" The fat shopkeeper changed his expression at this time and said with a smile .

Lu Xiaotian didn't answer, just put Huang Jing away, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute, if the little brother thinks the price is too low, we can talk again." The fat shopkeeper didn't expect Lu Xiaotian to react like this, seeing him going out of the door, he hurriedly stopped him and said.

"The bid is 10% lower than the market price, and most of the herbal medicines that are decades old are in short supply. The shopkeeper is doing good business." Lu Xiaotian turned his head and looked at the fat shopkeeper calmly. Just now he asked several pharmacies, how could it be so It's easy to be fooled.

"Little brother is a shrewd person. I'm sorry for my stupid eyes. Let's do it. The price is fifty taels." The fat shopkeeper hurriedly bowed his hands and smiled.

It was nearly a tael higher than expected, and he was quite satisfied. He used to be a handyman, and he could only save two silver beans for several months. A Huang Jing in front of him can be sold for such a price. This money is enough for the family to live comfortably. It's been decades.

Just as Lu Xiaotian wanted to agree, he suddenly felt a faint aura coming from the backyard of Miaozhitang. Its aura is exactly the same as Qi Gathering Pill. He couldn't help but jump in his heart, that's right, it must be the spirit grass used to refine Qi Gathering Pill.

"My sealwort is not for sale."

"Not for sale? Then why did the little brother come to Miaozhitang? Could it be to amuse me?" The fat shopkeeper said with some displeasure on his face.

"I heard that Miaozhitang has a complete range of herbal medicines. I need some more unorthodox herbs, so I want to exchange them with the shopkeeper. Since this sealwort is priced at fifty taels of silver, if I replace it with other herbs, the price will be refunded and the price will be compensated."

Lu Xiaotian wandered around the barren mountains and wild mountains for several months but failed to find the spirit grass again. He encountered it by accident at this time, so how could he miss it.

The fat shopkeeper looked pale, "So that's how it is. It's easy to say, what kind of herbal medicine does the little brother want?"

Lu Xiaotian said, "The smell of this herb is quite unique, I can smell it, the shopkeeper doesn't mind if I enter the backyard of Miaozhitang."

"No problem." The fat shopkeeper nodded.

The backyard of Miaozhitang is very open, and there are many herbs that need to be dried, ground, or roasted. Dozens of people are busy in the front. There is also a carriage, and two strong men are unloading the loaded herbs from it.
