Chapter 6 Buying Medicine
Ye Fan naturally didn't know that he had provoked Deng Qiang again. At this moment, he was closing his eyes and concentrating, thinking about something.
It didn't take long for the taxi to stop at the entrance of Lingcaotang.
Standing at the door, Ye Fan looked at the three familiar characters of Lingcaotang on the door plaque, and for a moment, he felt a little like he was in another world.
In the previous life, I had quite some dealings with Lingcaotang. Lingcaotang was not just Pingcheng, but had branches in cities across the country. There were also many strong ones. At that time, it was considered a very powerful force.
"I don't know if Hall Master Ning is still there. If he is here, it will be much easier to talk." After saying something thoughtfully, Ye Fan walked towards the Lingcao Hall.
At the door, the two waiters were a little distracted when they saw a student coming, but their professional ethics still made them say loudly: "Welcome."
Ye Fan nodded slightly and stepped into the Lingcao Hall with a calm face.
Lingcaotang has three floors. Most of the floors on the first floor are ordinary yams. The price is not that expensive. Naturally, the effect is not that good.
"Little brother, what do you want to buy?" A female shopping guide saw Ye Fan and came to Ye Fan with a professional smile on her face and asked gently.
"Just take a look." Ye Fan replied, raising his eyebrows habitually and glancing at the female receptionist in front of him, "Ning Xue?"
"How do you know my name is Ning Xue?" Hearing the words of the young man in front of him, the receptionist was surprised.
Hearing this, Ye Fan was stunned. He had been to Lingcao Hall many times in his previous life, and Ning Xue received him every time. He was used to it now.
But after all, Ye Fan was very calm, he just paused and pointed at the wall, "That's what's written on it."
Ning Xue looked up, and there were pictures of all the reception staff hanging on the wall.
"So that's it." Ning Xue smiled and looked at Ye Fan. Her years of experience in reception allowed her to judge that the young man in front of her didn't have much money, and he probably didn't know much about pharmacology.
"Little brother, I suggest you buy this Yixiang fruit. It is picked from Nanshan Mountain. It tastes very good. Eating it to the beast can strengthen the body of the beast and increase its actual combat power."
"Yixiang Fruit?" Listening to Ning Xue's introduction, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, "As far as I know, Yixiang Fruit has no effect other than being eaten by some beasts because of its fragrance."
"This." Ning Xue choked, and before she had time to explain, she saw Ye Fan raised his head and said with a hint of teasing: "And if the imperial beast eats too much of this fragrant fruit, the imperial beast can easily go into heat. You When you talk about enhancing the actual combat power of beast control, do you mean this? "
Hearing this, Ning Xue's face turned red and she almost subconsciously took two steps back.
"The Yixiang Fruit is useless to people." Ye Fan glanced at Ning Xue and said. After looking at several baskets of elixirs again, he shook his head, "Don't you have any Fire Fruit here?"
"Fire Fruit? Yes! Yes!" At this moment, Ning Xue also knew that the boy in front of her was obviously not a ignorant boy, and she quickly led Ye Fan towards the second floor.
On the second floor, there are some spiritual grasses and fruits. As soon as he entered, Ye Fan could obviously smell the fragrance of various spiritual grasses and fruits.
"The fire fruit is here."
On the stage, there was a platter with seven or eight fiery red fruits.
This is the purpose of his trip, the fruit that can increase the flame power of controlling fire beasts, the Fire Fruit.
"How much?" After taking a look at the wrinkled appearance of several fire fruits, Ye Fan frowned. It was obvious that these fire fruits were not fresh, most of them were sediment.
"50,000 pieces." Ning Xue said, seeming to see Ye Fan's dissatisfaction, and added: "If little brother is not satisfied with these, I can get you the latest one produced today."
"Well..." Ye Fan pondered, thinking a little in his heart.
Fifty thousand, that's pretty much what I thought. If I resell it, it probably won't reach 50,000, it will only be close to it.
On the side, Ning Xue stood, watching Ye Fan remain silent, feeling surprisingly panicked. It was as if she had met some big shot, and the other person seemed to have seen through everything with just one glance. This was the first time she felt this way when facing a young man.
At this moment, Ye Fan seemed to have figured something out, and suddenly said: "Do you have any seeds of the Fire Fruit here, or rhizomes that can be transplanted?"
"Seeds." This sentence once again surprised Ning Xue. How could anyone come to Lingcaotang, which specializes in cultivating seeds, to buy seeds? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to slander people.
She opened her mouth and was about to say no, but facing Ye Fan's deep eyes that seemed to penetrate everything, Ning Xue hesitated, and finally just said: "Let me ask the manager for you."
Ye Fan nodded, and Ning Xue went upstairs. Soon, under the leadership of Ning Xue, a middle-aged man wearing a hat and a mandarin came down.
"Which little brother wants to buy the seeds of the Fire Fruit?" The middle-aged man spoke with a strong voice from a high position.
There were many people buying medicine in the market. When they heard this, they all patrolled the market.
"It's me." Ye Fan said, looking at the middle-aged man and squealing slightly.
Ning Qinghai, the master of Pingcheng Lingcao Hall, is a beast master who is close to gold.
If he is here, it will be easier to handle. This person is quick-thinking and should be able to save some things.
"It turns out it's this little brother." Ning Qinghai was a little surprised when he saw Ye Fan's appearance, but he still smiled and said to Ning Xue reproachfully: "The distinguished guest is here, why don't you come up to us."
"Yes." Ning Xue nodded and quickly invited Mark to go upstairs.
Soon, Ye Fan followed Ning Xue to the second floor. Ning Qinghai was already sitting at a table and said to Ye Fan, "Dear guest, please sit down and have some tea."
Ye Fan didn't like this, but after all, he was here to buy something, so he sat down and drank a sip of tea casually.
Across from him, Ning Qinghai looked at Ye Fan and said tentatively, "Brother, the seeds of this Fiery Fruit are not cheap. If it is normal, Lingcaotang will not sell them."
"The Fiery Fruit is not rare. Even the seeds are only priced at around 10,000." Ye Fan spoke in a very calm tone, "The audience of the Fiery Fruit is too small. Except for some specific beasts, no one will choose the Fiery Fruit. The Strong Muscle Grass of the same price has better effects and wider adaptability."
Ning Qinghai was a little surprised, but after all, he had been in business for many years. He just raised his eyebrows and said to Ye Fan, "So, brother, you have a beast that needs the Fiery Fruit?"
"Of course."
"May I ask, is it..."
"Fire Dog." Ye Fan interrupted Ning Qinghai and looked directly at him.
"Fire dog... that's not surprising." Ning Qinghai sighed, looking at Ye Fan in front of him, thinking for a while, "In that case, the seeds of the Fiery Fruit will be sold to the little brother for 10,000 each."
"Ning Xue, go tell the cultivation hall to get a rhizome of the Fiery Fruit for this little brother."
"Rhizome?" Ning Xue was stunned, "But didn't he say he wanted to buy seeds..."
Rhizome, that is the cultivated seeds, both the survival rate and the fruiting rate are much higher, the price is at least doubled compared to the seeds.
"Little brother is very dignified, a rhizome, just treat it as making a friend." Ning Qinghai smiled and bowed to Ye Fan, "In the future, I hope that little brother will patronize my Lingcao Hall more often."
Ning Xue, who was standing aside, saw this and quickly went down. After a while, she came up with a box.
The box was opened, and it turned out to be a rhizome that had grown leaves.
"Little brother, this spiritual medicine is not easy to survive. After you go back, choose a fertile place to plant it." Ning Qinghai handed the spiritual medicine to Ye Fan, "If the land is fertile, the Fiery Fruit will bear fruit in May. This plant can bear three to five fruits."
"Understood." Ye Fan took the box and stood up to leave.
After a while on the first floor, Ye Fan bought some spiritual medicine fruits and finally swiped his card to leave. Ning Xue accompanied him throughout the whole process.
After watching Ye Fan leave, Ning Xue turned around and ran upstairs.
"Master Ning, the young man left." Ning Xue hurried to report on the second floor.
"I know." Ning Qinghai nodded, looking at Ning Xue who looked puzzled, and said: "Do you want to ask why I am so nice to that boy?"
"Yes." Ning Xue nodded, speaking frankly, "That boy is a little different, more calm than his peers, and has a lot of experience, but the accessories and clothes on his body are very ordinary, not like someone with a big background."
"The rhizome costs 30,000 yuan per plant, and even the cost of cultivation is more than 20,000 yuan. I don't think it's worth giving him 30,000 yuan just to make a friend."
"Hehe, you are still not good at observing people's words and expressions." Hearing this, Ning Qinghai shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
"A young man from an ordinary family would not behave like that." Ning Qinghai said confidently: "When I was chatting with him just now, I released the pressure of a gold-level beastmaster, but the young man didn't even frown."
"In this case, either he is stronger than me and ignored the pressure, or there is a gold-level strongman in his family, and he has long been accustomed to living with him day and night."
"And the other party said that he wants to cultivate a fire dog. I have also heard of the fire dog. To cultivate it, it not only takes time but also a lot of natural materials and treasures. The other party's visit this time may be just the beginning. If you want to raise a fire dog, you will definitely visit it often in the future."
"So that's it." Ning Xue suddenly realized, "So, the young man really has some background."
Gold level, in this small Pingcheng, is also considered a strong man.
"There are more than just Lingcaotang who sell spiritual herbs and fruits." Ning Qinghai said, looking into the distance. "If you can get the favor of a big family or a future strongman because of a spiritual herb, that would be a big profit."
