Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 6 Beiliang County! Black Shop! (Please read and collect!)

"What a huge centipede! This poisonous insect must be a powerful demon!"

The corner of Gu Yuan's mouth twitched, and he felt a little scared. He was quite glad that he was not blinded by the treasure, otherwise if he was bitten, he would definitely end up like those corpses!

Wherever there are natural treasures, there are often exotic beasts guarding them!
This giant centipede should be the guardian of these elixirs.

The giant centipede obviously noticed Gu Yuan, but seeing that he retreated wisely, it did not chase him.

Gu Yuan didn't hesitate, turned around and strode away.

"I actually found traces of the elixir today. It seems I'm really lucky."

On the way back, his face showed some regret and helplessness:
"It's a pity that with this demonic insect guarding me, I can't do anything about it. I can only think of a way to deal with it slowly."

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan was no longer troubled.

Anyway, this elixir can't run away. As long as we find a way to deal with the giant centipede, these elixir Polygonatum will naturally be easy to get.

In fact, not only the elixir, but even the centipede, Gu Yuan had developed a covetous heart.

This giant centipede is quite powerful. If it can be tamed, it will be a great help. Its value may not be inferior to those magical medicines such as Polygonatum!

The only problem is how to catch this centipede!
As the sun approached noon, Gu Yuan walked along the mountain road all the way to the county town.

Beiliang County is just an ordinary small county town at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, but because the Yunmeng Mountains are rich in products and resources, the business of this small county town is prosperous and its economy is developing quite well.

The street is wide and there are shops with their doors wide open on both sides.

Occasionally, there are pubs, inns, and restaurants, and there are bursts of aroma spreading out, making people salivate.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going. From time to time, you can see special people with swords and knives and fierce temperaments.

These people can be identified just by their clothes. Some of them are martial artists who make a living by force, but there are also some herbalists who carry medicine baskets on their backs.

This was also Gu Yuan's first time in the county town. After briefly experiencing the ancient customs and culture, he decided to get down to business.

Gu Yuan didn't know much about the county town, but he knew that things like Polygonatum were usually only purchased by medical clinics and drug stores.

Arriving at a medicine shop called "Ji'an Guan", Gu Yuan walked straight into the store carrying the Polygonatum odoratum.

I saw a slightly plump and wealthy old man standing on the counter, concentrating on using an abacus.

Seeing Gu Yuan coming, the old man glanced up and down, swept over his tattered clothes, paused slightly at the cloth bag on his back, and then he had some idea of ​​Gu Yuan's identity.

He smiled faintly and said, "My name is Xu. May I ask what this young man needs?"

Gu Yuan put the bag on the counter and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, I have some freshly dug Polygonatum odoratum here. I wonder if your shop would accept it?"

"Well, our Ji'an Restaurant is a decades-old brand, and we have very high standards for medicinal materials. If the Polygonatum odoratum is not old enough or has some damage, we will definitely not accept it."

As Shopkeeper Xu spoke, he stepped forward and opened the bag. Seeing five or six large-sized Polygonatum sibiricums of various shapes inside, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

On the surface, he flipped it over and over for a few times, then shook his head and sighed, "It can be seen that the little brother was quite cautious when digging these yellow ginseng. These yellow ginseng are of good quality, and the skin is not scratched, intact."

"It's just that these Polygonatum sibiricums aren't very old. For example, this one is only six or seven years old."

He picked up the largest one, a foot long and weighing about four pounds, weighed it, and then looked at Gu Yuandao:
"But considering these fine yellow jades are in decent condition, I'll give you eighty coins for this one, plus the others, for a total of two hundred and thirty coins. How do you think?"

"Six or seven years? Two hundred and thirty cents?"

Gu Yuan was almost pissed off and laughed. This was certainly not a small amount of money for ordinary mountain dwellers.

Although Gu Yuan didn't know much about medicinal herbs, he knew that the Polygonatum sibiricum he dug, even the youngest ones, were at least ten years old.

The largest one is estimated to have been growing for twenty or thirty years.

Such a good thing, even if the price is increased tenfold, there will probably be people who would buy it, but the man surnamed Xu devalued it to nothing and pretended to be generous by giving it a "high price".

It's obvious that they are fooling him as if he is a fool who knows nothing!

"That's right, little brother. Don't think that the price I offer is too low. In fact, if you go to other pharmacies in the city, you will know that the price I offer here is definitely the highest."

Shopkeeper Xu spoke nonsense seriously, and then said casually:
"However, if you can send more Polygonatum, the price is negotiable."

"I'm sorry, I don't sell anything anymore."

Gu Yuan chuckled with a forced smile and reached out to take the thing back.

It was obvious that the other party was bullying customers because of its size. He would have to be stupid to suffer this loss.

From a business perspective, as a pharmacy, Gu Yuan can understand that you lower the price when purchasing medicinal materials, but the problem is that something that was originally worth several taels of silver is directly reduced to a few cents of silver. This is too heartless!
Moreover, this guy actually asked him questions, asking if he had any other Polygonatum odoratum. It was obvious that he had vaguely sensed something. This made Gu Yuan feel a chill in his heart, and he decided to leave this place of trouble immediately.

Shopkeeper Xu's originally smiling face suddenly turned gloomy: "Little brother, you have to think it over carefully."

He tapped the wooden counter with his stubby fingers and said coldly, "If you miss this opportunity, there won't be such a good thing next time."

He was angry and embarrassed, so he started to threaten people. Gu Yuan's eyelids twitched at first, and he felt a little itchy in anger!

Damn, this is a shady shop!
It's definitely a shady shop!

Mr. Xu, I will remember you!

Gu Yuan cursed inwardly and was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, a rough voice came from behind:

"Manager Xu, do you still have the wound medicine from last time? Give me two more bottles!"

Gu Yuan turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a burly physique and very tall stature.

He was carrying a medicine basket on his back and had a thick-backed machete slung over his waist. It was already early winter and the air was freezing, but the middle-aged man was wearing only a single layer of clothing and didn't feel the cold at all.

Gu Yuan could even vaguely feel that this man had an inexplicable power and a fierce aura, which was very different from that of ordinary people.

"It turns out to be Mr. Cheng."

When Shopkeeper Xu saw this man, his expression changed, a hint of fear flashed across his face, and he quickly forced a smile and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. We still have a lot of things you want. I'll get them for you right away."

Having said that, he didn't bother to pay attention to Gu Yuan, turned around and started rummaging through the medicine cabinet at the back.

"Thank you."

Gu Yuan earnestly bowed to the middle-aged man in front of him who was called "Mr. Cheng" and then left.

Regardless of whether the other party did it intentionally or unintentionally, at least you helped him out of trouble, and you should thank him.
