Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 129 Elixir! Dendrobium Pavilion!

"Thank you, sir." The boss waved his hand, and eighteen gleaming gold coins appeared on the table.

"Um.

""

Zhu Ge put the money into the grass bowl, then turned and left.

For him, those eighteen coins were a complete windfall.

Since they were all collected by the fisherman in the straw raincoat anyway, and Zhu Ge has already learned all of them, he might as well exchange them for money.

Because he was planning to go to the herbal medicine shop next.

But as soon as he turned around, he felt several gazes coming from the bookstore.

Ok?

Zhu Ge narrowed her eyes, glanced back, and immediately noticed the source of the gaze.

Is it coveting the grass bowl with spatial properties? Or is it coveting the money?

Zhu Ge grinned, then maintained the faint spiritual energy within her body, preventing even the slightest leakage of her blood energy, and walked out of the bookstore.

Zhu Ge has only ever seen one space equipment here, the one from the fisherman in the straw raincoat, and eighteen coins is no small sum.

Clearly, some people in the bookstore had already set their sights on him.

However, Zhu Ge was not afraid.

Force should not be used in the city. Although the crisis has not been over for long, management will still be very strict.

So he wasn't in a hurry and strolled around the streets at his leisure.

The next stop is the herbal medicine shop.

The bowl of blessed herbs contains some medicinal herbs, but they need to be identified.

I didn't see any related books at the bookstore, not even one like "The Records of Suzhou Silk".

It's estimated that this level of inheritance is too high; you'd have to go to Yuanyang City to buy it.

However, this did not stop Zhu Ge from inquiring at some herbal medicine shops.

As far as he knew, some herbal shops, in addition to buying and selling medicinal herbs, also did some appraisal work.

Walking down the street, Zhu Ge's physical body could vaguely sense the gaze coming from behind him.

Still following me?

Zhu Ge subtly turned his head and glanced out of the corner of his eye, confirming that the people following him were two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and one Body Cultivation Realm cultivator.

They're all in the same realm!

"Quite bold," Zhu Ge shook her head, immediately losing interest.

Such a realm probably doesn't have anything good, so I'm too lazy to bother with it.

So Zhu Ge stepped into the next shop, named "Dendrobium Pavilion".

The doorman, who had been chatting with another doorman, reluctantly approached Zhu Ge when he entered: "Excuse me, sir, are you here to receive or ship goods?"

Zhu Ge didn't care.

Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. He was dressed in tattered clothes, and his literary energy was weak while his blood energy was smooth and unrestrained. It would be strange if people didn't give him a good look.

Of course, as a cultivator, this servant only dared not be enthusiastic towards Zhu Ge, but dared not be negligent in etiquette.

The gap between ordinary people and cultivators is still enormous.

"I need to receive the goods, I need to ship them out, and I also want them appraised," Zhu Ge replied.

"Shipping? Inspection?" The servant was taken aback.

This servant was clever. Hearing Zhu Ge say that, and seeing that Zhu Ge hadn't even brought a bundle, he probably remembered something.

His eyes widened in shock, but a smile spread across his face as he said enthusiastically, "Please come in, sir! Little Cui, quickly serve you some tea!"

"You do have good judgment," Zhu Ge chuckled, not refusing.

Only when the other party takes him seriously can he avoid being careless.

"Please come with me, sir."

Perhaps due to the war causing insufficient goods circulation, the Dendrobium Pavilion was not noisy. The servant walked a few steps and came to a small room.

Another servant named Xiao Cui came to pour tea.

"Sir, what you wish to have appraised and shipped—flowers, fruits, seeds, or spirit wood?" the servant asked with a fawning expression. "Is it a spirit object?"

"Oh? What's the difference?" Zhu Ge asked curiously.

The servant's enthusiasm remained unchanged, and he explained, "We have many masters, including spirit-level farmers, gardeners, forest chiefs, and so on."

"Master?!" Zhu Ge was shocked, and the tea he was about to drink was immediately spat out.

Upon hearing this, the servant hurriedly waved his hand awkwardly, "No, no, sir, you've misunderstood. It's not that master."

"I see." Zhu Ge smiled helplessly.

He's probably been too sensitive lately; he snaps at the slightest provocation.

This title "Master" is clearly an honorific, rather than referring to someone of a higher level of attainment.

Those so-called farmers, gardeners, forest chiefs, and the like are probably just different professions.

Just like the seamstress that Hua Liusha is trying to become, it is a specialized profession.

"I brought spirit-grade fruits and herbs," Zhu Ge said. "Please, Master, help me appraise them."

"Spirit-level? Please wait a moment, sir!" The servant's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went out.

Those who work in such places clearly have a keen eye and know about the classification of spiritual creatures.

"Splash splash."

Just then, the servant next to Zhu Ge poured tea for her again.

Before Zhu Ge had finished his cup of tea, the servant followed the two young men outside.

Judging from the hurried manner of the three, it was clear that the two young men had come as soon as they heard the news.

"My name is Cui Xu, a Spirit-level Forest Chief. I greet you, sir. This is my student, named Li Pan."

"My name is Li Pan, a Spirit-level florist. Greetings, sir."

The two young men bowed, and Zhu Ge returned the bow. Then Cui Xu, who was at the head of the group, sat down, looking very eager.

"What kind of spiritual herbs do you have, sir?" Cui Xu tried to soften his tone, but there was still a hint of urgency in his voice.

Zhu Ge was surprised.

Cui Xu also realized what was happening, and then said with a wry smile, "Sir, you are unaware of the situation. Currently, Jianshui City has many wounded soldiers, and the materials for healing medicine are in dire need. Furthermore, the myriad demons outside the city are eyeing us covetously, and even spirit-level herb gatherers dare not leave the city. That is why I am in such a hurry!"

"I see."

Zhu Ge nodded slightly, then took out all the spirit-grade plants she had brought from the grass bowl: "Master Cui, please take a look, these are the items I want to appraise."

"Appraisal?" Cui Xu then remembered the three types of transactions Zhu Ge wanted, so he gestured to his disciple and then looked at the spiritual plant that Zhu Ge had taken out.

As for the grass bowl, Cui Xu only glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it.

I reckon that the most important thing to him right now is still the spiritual plant.

"Hmm, six spirit fruits, thirteen spirit herbs and roots, and one seed. The appraisal fee is twenty-four silver coins," Cui Xu assessed. "But if you intend to sell them all, the appraisal fee will be reduced by 40%."

After speaking, Cui Xu looked up at Zhu Ge with a burning gaze.

60% off?

May the song touch your heart.

However, he didn't want to sell it directly, since the Fisherman in the Raincoat was a third-realm being, and his collection was probably quite valuable.

"How about this, Master Cui?" Zhu Ge pondered, "I am a martial artist, and I need spiritual medicines that can enhance my blood and strengthen my body. I don't really need healing medicines right now, so how about I sell you some?"

"How about we set the appraisal fee at 20% of the original price?"

hurt?

Even if it's a healing herb, it's still just a herb. Whether it's formulated into a medicinal medicine or refined into a pill, Zhu Ge doesn't know how to do it.

Therefore, it would be better to sell Zhuge to Shi Jiege.

"Sir, you are truly righteous." Upon hearing this, Cui Xu suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully.

The same goes for his students.

Upon seeing this, the two servants also quickly bowed and kowtowed.

"No need for that, it's just a business transaction." Zhu Ge helped Cui Xu up.

"A trade?" Cui Xu bowed and sighed, "Sir, you may not know this, but those young men are all top-notch. They are always at the forefront when fighting against the demon race."

"I'm over fifty years old, yet I can only sit here in the city, unable to even concoct healing elixirs. Watching young men fall seriously injured and on the verge of death, and then pass away, is truly heartbreaking!"

"Since you are willing to sell me these healing materials, then I will, within my authority, give you a 50% discount on the appraisal fee!"

""

"Now, I will explain it to you, sir. Please listen carefully—"
