2455 Extortionate Price
Pill Alchemist He rushed up with vigorous strides. He had also brought three to four other people in his small team.
They had helped the retching simpleton to the side.
One person handed over a towel, while another massaged the man's stomach. Someone else poured out two digestion pills from a bottle for the man.
"Here, here, quickly take this! Swallow!"
"How do you feel, how are you feeling?? You can do it! Go get them! Just maintain first place, you can do it." Pill Alchemist He cheered on the simpleton in one breath. His anxiousness was evident from his speech.
Freak, just for a ghost plant herb…
Qiao Mu buried her head in the crown prince's chest. She clutched a corner of his clothes as she convulsed with laughter.
The crown prince smiled while caressing the back of her hand. "Qiaoqiao, let's stop for another day. We'll leave after watching the second event tomorrow."
He had the feeling that tomorrow's mantou-wrapping contest would definitely be a congregation of clowns. They would definitely amuse Qiaoqiao into laughter!
Fang Su's mouth twitched fiercely.
How come they were staying yet another night?
"Digestion pills, who, who has digestion pills! I-I want to buy some!" A loud shout was heard.
It was met with a mocking laugh. "Hey, Wang Yan, Wang Yan. Your companion's complexion is awful! He wouldn't be stuffed to death, right. Tsk, tsk, your fate as the eternal second place can't be changed, right!"
"Shut up." Wang Yan glared at that man coldly. Afterwards, he looked up at the surrounding crowd. "Everyone! Wang Yan will purchase digestion pills from anyone selling right now."
Digestion pills weren't a scarce kind of pill. Two to three people immediately raised their hands saying they would sell, but they had set extremely high prices.
Digestion pills were only a mid-rank pill. In the Middle Six Prefectures, they at most would be five thousand spirit currency each, but in the Divine Province where commodity prices were high, as well as in the context of this contest, they naturally raised prices.
They weren't fools. Who didn't like earning this kind of quick money?
After all, many people would start hoarding digestion pills from the Pill House in the three months before the Mantou Festival every year.
Digestion pills were indeed a hot item. Sometimes, it might not even be possible to purchase a handful of digestion pills even after combing through the various Pill Houses and pharmacies in Weixi City.
Business-minded people had long hoarded them at home just to make big bucks today!
"Twenty thousand spirit currency for one pill!" The person stuck out two fingers as he named his price.
Wang Yan's face instantly turned unsightly.
Twenty thousand spirit currency was indeed too expensive. They had to stock up on at least five digestion pills to continue powering through the contest. If so, they would have to spend more than 100 thousand spirit currency.
"You can also pay with spirit stones."
"Twenty spirit stones."
"Why don't you go commit robbery instead?" Someone shouted angrily.
Even fools knew the value of spirit stones. Twenty spirit stones greatly surpassed the worth of twenty thousand spirit currency. Who would use spirit stones to exchange for the mid-rank digestion pill?
"No need to commit robbery. My digestion pills are this price. Don't buy if you don't want to!"
Wang Yan sighed and reached out to support his friend. "Brother Ge, why don't we just stop with this contest here."
The price of digestion pills soared every year. The price this year was simply so expensive that they lost all desire to buy.
There was no helping it. Because of the demand for digestion pills, the raw materials to produce them had been swept clean from the surrounding forests. There was a severe shortage on the market right now too.
