Chapter 108: Massive Purchases

Zuo Feng felt the changes in himself, and his eyes were filled with joy. Although the spiritual power replenishment was not as much as he had imagined, it meant that he had reached the level of a junior alchemist.

The door that had not been opened for four days was slowly opened, and Zuo Feng walked out of it. At this time, he was dirty, but extremely excited. He looked up at the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the spacious courtyard. Zuo Feng looked up at the sky, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then walked quickly to the water tank in the courtyard.

Now he finally understood what the water tank in the courtyard was used for, but Zuo Feng didn't care and plunged into it.

He simply washed and changed into a set of clean and tidy clothes. He put on the wide black cloak that he had prepared before, and the big hat on the cloak was pressed down low to completely cover his face. Zuo Feng was satisfied and pushed open the gate of the courtyard and came to the street.

After a little identification of the direction, Zuo Feng quickly went to the main street. Although he could get to the main street by passing through the new shop from his courtyard, Zuo Feng didn't want the villagers to see him dressed like this, so he took a detour.

Zuo Feng calculated the time, and some big shops were still open at this time, so he should be able to buy some things he wanted. At this time, Yancheng had just entered the busiest time of the evening, and the streets were crowded with people, and no one cared about his weird dress at this time.

Soon Zuo Feng came to the "Tiangong Alchemy Shop" he had been to before. Since it was not his first time, Zuo Feng didn't waste any words and walked directly to the counter selling prescriptions.

It was still the old man with white hair and beard that he had seen before. When the old man saw Zuo Feng's weird dress, he was just a little stunned and said indifferently: "This friend is interested in the prescription?"

Zuo Feng also found this very interesting. It seems that they have seen many guests like him who are unwilling to reveal their identities. Then he lowered his voice and said, "The prescription for the body-building powder."

The old man was slightly stunned. This "body-building powder" is one of the more difficult to refine among the primary medicinal powders. Its effect is to help the warriors in the strong body stage strengthen their bodies and achieve better body-building effects. With such good effects, the price of the medicine powder and prescription is naturally much more expensive.

The old man stared at Zuo Feng for a moment. He knew all the primary alchemists in Yancheng, but he didn't know the one in front of him at all. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "This body-building powder prescription is sold for 500 gold coins, but if you bring the "body-building powder" you have made in the future, I will definitely buy it at a high price."

Zuo Feng was not moved by the old man's proposal. He is not as short of money as he was before, and he wants to refine the "body-building powder" to help Zuo Hou and others improve their strength. Naturally, he would not choose to sell it to the old man in front of him.

The old man was able to offer such conditions, and Zuo Feng understood his intention after a little thought. For medicinal powders like "Body Strengthening Powder", the success rate of junior pharmacists is very low, and high-level pharmacists are unwilling to spend energy to make them, so they should naturally be in short supply.

The practice of alchemy requires a lot of time, which makes most practitioners unwilling to get involved. After all, life is short, and most people still hope to invest their time and energy in cultivation.

After a pause, Zuo Feng said: "That depends on my level, but I will consider it more."

The old man smiled and nodded when he heard Zuo Feng say this, and took out a thin booklet from the counter. Zuo Feng did not reach out to take it, but continued: "Prepare half a catty of each of the medicinal materials on this prescription for me."

"Half a catty?" The old man was shocked by Zuo Feng's words and opened his mouth wide, repeating loudly in disbelief.

"What. Is there a problem?"

"No, no..." The old man said embarrassedly, and at the same time felt that he had just lost his composure. If Zuo Feng had not bought the prescription before, he would even suspect that the mysterious man in front of him was preparing to hoard a large amount of medicinal materials to drive up prices.

Zuo Feng didn't care about it at all. He continued to name a string of medicinal herbs and emphasized the last sentence: "Each one is half a catty."

This time, almost as soon as Zuo Feng finished speaking, the old man took a deep breath and said quickly: "Are you sure that the ones you just said are half a catty each?"

This time, Zuo Feng didn't talk nonsense and just nodded gently. The old man looked at the thin figure under the wide cloak, his eyes flickered slightly as if he wanted to see through the face of the person inside, but in the end, the old man still didn't see any clues.

After a while, the old man seemed to remember something and said: "My friend, the medicinal herbs you just mentioned are indeed in our store, and the quantity can barely make up the amount you asked for, but I don't know how you can pay such a large sum of money?"

The old man's words were completely within Zuo Feng's expectations. He was empty-handed and didn't look like he could take out thousands of gold coins at once. Zuo Feng didn't say anything, but silently reached into his arms, and then revealed a small green card. As soon as he saw the small card, the old man's face became even more surprised.

Although he has worked here for decades, he has only seen the "savings card" a few times. After seeing the saving card, he immediately turned around and shouted loudly: "Boss, there is a friend here who needs to use the 'savings card' to trade."

"Hmm?"

A woman's voice came from the back room, and then a beautiful woman walked out of the room. Her appearance is indeed good, but Zuo Feng only glanced at her and lowered his head again.

The woman didn't see Zuo Feng's appearance clearly, but she vaguely felt that the man in black robes in front of the counter must be young. She walked slowly to the counter, and the old man immediately bowed and stepped aside.

"My friend, I wonder if you can lend me your money card for a look."

Zuo Feng didn't say anything, but slowly handed over the money card in his hand. When the woman took the money card, she also deliberately paid attention to the other person's palm. The arm as white as baby skin also confirmed her previous guess. After just a brief pause, she focused on the money card in her hand.

When she saw the coiled flames and the words engraved on it, she said to herself in surprise: "It turns out to be the money card from the City of the Rising Sun. It seems that this friend doesn't know about this money card." Money cards are not directly tradable.”

Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel something in his heart. It seemed that it was really troublesome to use this money card. Fortunately, he didn't reveal his true appearance, otherwise he might have a lot of trouble in the future. Thinking of this, Zuo Feng sighed and said, "I don't have many gold coins with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy what I wanted before."

The middle-aged beautiful woman chuckled and said: "My friend misunderstood. These money cards are made by the gold exchange houses of various empires, and only they can conduct transactions. But we have different relationships with the various gold exchange houses in Yancheng. If you have any contact, just sit down for a while and I will send someone to invite them over."

Hearing what she said, Zuo Feng felt a little relieved, but at the same time he was worried whether there were other ways to use this money card that he didn't know about. If this money card can only be used by specific people, wouldn't it cause new troubles?

After a moment of hesitation, Zuo Feng said: "This money card is also my family's property. I just..."

The woman chuckled lightly and interrupted before Zuo Feng finished speaking: "You can rest assured that this is just an ordinary money card. You can use it without having to do it yourself."

Hearing what she said, Zuo Feng was completely relieved. Although the woman was also suspicious, after all, the power of possessing the money card was something they did not dare to offend easily, so she was very careful in what she said and tried to satisfy the other party.

"Then why don't you and I go to the VIP room and have some tea? We'll send someone to ask someone from the money exchange to come over."

Zuo Feng nodded slightly, and then followed the woman to an extremely luxurious room. A pretty maid immediately offered fragrant tea, but Zuo Feng never took a sip from the beginning to the end.

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a leather robe appeared in front of Zuo Feng. This man was straightforward and didn't care at all how Zuo Feng had the money card. Instead, he quickly took out something like a stone box from his body. Its material is very similar to the money card in Zuo Feng's hand.

The middle-aged man took the money card and put it into a hole in the stone box. Then he slowly circulated his spiritual energy, and soon there were dots of light flashing on the surface of the stone box. It was also the first time for Zuo Feng to use the money card, so he watched quietly and calmly.

The light spots on the stone box lit up one by one. Finally, when no more light points appeared, Zuo Feng saw six red dots and eight yellow dots on the surface of the stone box. The middle-aged man glanced at it casually and said, "There are sixty-eight thousand gold coins in this sign of yours. If you want to use it once, you must withdraw at least one thousand gold coins."

Zuo Feng was not surprised to hear what the middle-aged man said. Seeing that the stone box only had two-color light spots, it was obvious that there was no way to get any less.

"How much do the things I want cost in total?"

Zuo Feng turned around slowly and asked the woman beside him.

"The prescription for Body Training Powder is 500 gold coins, and the other medicinal materials are 1,300 gold coins, for a total of 1,800 gold coins. If you withdraw two thousand gold coins at a time, we will return the other 200 gold coins to you."

After Zuo Feng listened, he pondered for a while and said, "Then if I want to withdraw three thousand gold coins, you can also give me one thousand two hundred gold coins?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled and said, "If you only need 1,200 gold coins, our alchemy shop can get it."

"Shop Manager Li, since you have gold coins, trade quickly. I don't have time to grind my teeth with you."

When the woman heard what the middle-aged man said, she gave the rough-looking man a hard look, but nodded quickly. Zuo Feng secretly laughed in his heart. The woman obviously had other intentions, but she was completely confused by this rough man.

The middle-aged man still seemed not to notice the woman's displeasure, and injected spiritual energy into the stone box again. Then I saw that the yellow light spots on it were extinguished in three places. At this time, there were only six red lights and five yellow lights left on it.

After the middle-aged man did this, he casually took out Zuo Feng's money card and threw it back to Zuo Feng carelessly. Then he took out three jade pieces the size of gold coins from his arms, put them on the table, and then turned around and walked out of the house.

"I'm not free today. Let's exchange it at the money exchange tomorrow."

When the rough man walked to the door of the house, he coldly left without looking back.
