The charming woman had already recognized Ye Feng, and she did not dare to neglect, and replied politely: "After going out, walk three streets to the east, which is where elixirs are sold. However, most of the elixir shops over there are owned by some big local families. Reason, the price is relatively expensive. In addition, you can go to the warrior market in the north. The market is mostly filled with warriors who set up their own stalls. Among them, there are some low-level alchemists selling elixirs there. Although their prices are It’s relatively cheap, but the quality of elixirs varies, and if you don’t have a certain level of identification of elixirs, it’s easy to buy fake ones.”
Ye Feng was stunned: "There are actually people selling fake medicines?"
"It's not all fake medicine." The woman's smile became even more charming, and she patiently explained, "After all, the quality of the elixirs refined by alchemists varies when they come out. If you don't know how to identify the elixirs, the same Ju Yuan Dan, many alchemists will use some lower quality Ju Yuan Dan to pass it off as high quality Ju Yuan Dan, thereby selling it at a high price.”
"I see, thank you very much, girl." Ye Feng handed over a silver ingot, which was regarded as consumption, and without any nonsense, he walked through the inn door and walked directly to the east.
The charming woman tightly clutched the silver ingot in her hand, feeling extremely regretful. She finally met a young and promising young man from a wealthy family, but she misjudged him. Although on the surface, he didn't seem to take it to heart, but through the other person's calmness, he was as calm as water. In the eyes of Ye Feng, the charming woman also knew that it was impossible for her to get closer. She took it for granted that the little incident of ordering food before had affected Ye Feng's image in his mind and made her miss the rich young master. Opportunity.
While she was thinking, two fierce-looking middle-aged men came over and handed her a silver coin again.
"What did the boy ask you?"
The charming woman's face turned pale. She quickly recognized the identities of the two middle-aged men and couldn't help but blurt out Ye Feng's whereabouts.
"Very good, no one is allowed to reveal this matter, otherwise." One of the taller middle-aged men made a gesture in front of her neck, and the waitress suddenly turned pale and nodded repeatedly.
It wasn't until the two middle-aged men turned to leave that the waitress patted her chest and murmured, "Hey, it's a pity. I'm afraid I won't survive the night after being targeted by someone from the evil family."
… …
Whether it is the Tianyuan Empire or the other three empires, almost all the cities and industries within the empire are monopolized by some big forces.
Ningcang City is no exception. The most lucrative elixir industry is naturally in the hands of the most powerful Gongsun family in Ningcang City. In the past, the Gongsun family would naturally not allow anyone to sell elixirs privately, but when it comes to Tianji In the three months since the sect opened its doors to accept disciples, due to the influx of a large number of young disciples, the Tianji Sect directly intervened in related matters in the city in order to facilitate these disciples to participate in the sect's assessment. In front of the Tianji Sect, the Gongsun family had to give up face. Agree to set up a trading market in the city for young warriors to sell elixirs and other resources privately.
Most young warriors would choose to hunt for treasures in the trading market in the north. After all, as long as they are discerning enough, they can get what they want at a very small price. However, Ye Feng rushed directly to the medicine shop in the east. After all, he has no shortage of silver. , what is lacking is time and a large amount of urgently needed elixirs, so naturally he will not waste time in the trading market.
Because of the establishment of the trading bazaar and the elixir shops set up by the big families, the business was naturally not much better. The streets were still crowded with people, and there were a lot of people coming and going. However, very few people entered the high-end shops on both sides of the street. Occasionally, One or two warriors entered a nearby shop and soon strode away with ugly faces. The prices inside were enough to scare them away.
Ye Feng walked to the door of a gorgeously decorated shop and his eyes rested on the golden plaque above the red lacquered door.
"Qianyue Medicine Store!" The font is majestic and has a unique charm, clearly written by an expert.
Ye Feng paused for a moment, and immediately a beautiful woman walked out of the shop and greeted her with a smile.
"Master, do you need elixirs? We have elixirs of all levels here. Whether it is Liwu Realm, Yuanwu Realm or Gangwu Realm, we can also provide the elixirs needed by the Xuanwu Realm Martial Saint. I think The young master is quite young and has already reached the late stage of Yuanwu Realm. He must have come to take the entrance examination of Tianji Sect."
As expected of a maid from a big family shop, her cultivation level is average, but her vision is unique. She can tell at a glance that Ye Feng has a cultivation level at the seventh level of the Astral Martial Realm.
Such a loud tone? Ye Feng smiled and said, "Girl, you are joking. I am only at the Yuanwu realm, so high-level elixirs are of little use to me. What's more, not everyone can afford such high-level elixirs."
Having said that, Ye Feng is interested. If there is a Xuantian Pill needed for the Gangwu Realm, as long as the price is right, he may not be unable to buy it. After all, his meridians are much stronger than ordinary people, and he had relied on a Xuantian Pill before. The Heavenly Pill allowed his cultivation level to jump three levels in a row and solved the family's calamity.
"With your qualifications, the young master will need high-level elixirs sooner or later. Why don't you come in and find out more?" the waitress said half-jokingly, maintaining a polite and professional smile.
Ye Feng smiled. He was not a saint and a gentleman, and flattery was of course very useful. He nodded, stopped wandering around, and followed the waitress into the shop.
Ye Feng noticed that after all, it was a shop set up by a big family, and not everyone could get the same treatment as him. At the entrance of Qianyue Medicine Store, warriors stopped from time to time, but not many were invited in by the maids.
The decoration on the first floor is extremely gorgeous, much more luxurious than the lobby of Longyuan Inn, and there are a lot of guests on this floor. However, the maid who led Ye Feng had no intention of stopping, and directly took Ye Feng away. Go to the second floor.
"Hey, there is another person on the second floor. He was invited to the second floor by Qianyue Medicine Store. He is not an ordinary person. Do you know him?" Several warriors on the first floor quickly noticed Ye Feng.
"I haven't seen him before, but it seems that his cultivation level is only in the late Yuanwu realm, and his clothes are very ordinary. Could it be that he is some kind of hidden master."
"Forget it, let's not make random guesses. The guests who can be invited to the second floor all have extraordinary origins. This person is probably a young master from a certain big family."
The discussion was not very loud, but Ye Feng listened to everything without saying a word. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Why was he treated as a distinguished guest when he first came to this medicine store
Shaking his head, Ye Feng didn't want to think too much and followed closely behind the waitress with an indifferent expression.
He knew very well that even the big family in Ningcang City would not do anything to him in broad daylight.
As soon as he entered the second floor, Ye Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. Although the decoration on the first floor was gorgeous, it was inevitably a bit vulgar. Gold and silver were used in many places for decoration. However, on the second floor, it had a different flavor. More materials were used. It is decorated with wooden materials full of spiritual energy, and many places are engraved with spiritual patterns.
The whole floor was filled with a refreshing medicinal fragrance. What shocked him the most was that the wooden spirit patterns on the walls had the effect of gathering the energy of heaven and earth. This made the energy of heaven and earth in the entire floor much richer than in the outside world. , there is no need to run the technique, just taking a deep breath can introduce a lot of heaven and earth energy into the meridians.
There are about a dozen tables and chairs in the hall on the second floor, with gauze curtains cut in the middle. Each chair is covered with plush cushions, which is simple and gorgeous.
"Young Master, sit here. Please feel free to use the tea and snacks on the table. Someone will be here to serve you soon." The maid bowed slightly and was about to leave, but Ye Feng stopped her out of curiosity.
"Girl, wait a moment, I have something I don't understand. Many people downstairs have higher cultivation than me, and the clothes they wear are much more luxurious than me. Why are they brought down to the second floor?"
The maid chuckled, pointed at Ye Feng's waist, and said softly, "What the young master is wearing on his waist should be a storage bag and a spirit beast bag. With these two treasures alone, let alone the second floor, even if You are also qualified to enter the third floor, but after all, this is your first time to come to our Qianyue Medicine Store, so we will temporarily leave you on the second floor. I hope you don’t mind."
"That's it." Ye Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. Whether it was a storage bag or a spirit animal bag, they looked very inconspicuous. Unexpectedly, they were recognized at a glance. It seems that if you want to keep a low profile in the future, you should keep this bag It would be better to put the two treasures away. After all, even among the four major empires, the only ones who can own storage bags are the strong men in the Gangwu Realm and the children of some big families.
The maid seemed to be quite interested in Ye Feng, and did not leave. Instead, she kindly reminded: "Young Master doesn't want to be too ostentatious and dresses like an ordinary warrior, but these two treasures are too eye-catching. If this servant even does this, I don’t have any vision, and I’m not qualified to work in this medicine store.”
"Well, thank you girl for reminding me."
Not long after the waitress left, an old man wearing a gold silk gown and a wrinkled face walked over happily, clasped his hands at Ye Feng from a distance, and apologized repeatedly.
"I have kept you waiting for a long time. I am Qian Chongyu, the manager of our medicine shop. I have met the young master. I wonder what his surname is?"
Ye Feng's pupils shrank. This man's aura was extremely powerful, and his cultivation was at the Gangwu realm. He didn't expect that he was just the manager here. What a terrifying person the senior management behind him must be.
"Senior Zhou Jun, there is no need to be polite." Ye Feng quickly stood up and bowed his hands in return.
Facing a strong martial artist, Ye Feng naturally did not dare to neglect him, and there was nothing wrong with using the courtesy of a junior. However, the other party obviously did not have this idea and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Since Mr. Zhou is a distinguished guest of our Qianyue Medicine Shop, there is no need to be so foreign to me. Can you call me a liar?"
The corner of Ye Feng's mouth twitched. What a liar? Is this a plan to kill yourself
Naturally, Qian Chongyu didn't know what Ye Feng was thinking. His eyes flashed over the two small gray cloth bags on his waist, and he suddenly understood in his heart that the waitress just now had good eyesight, and she could tell at a glance that this young man was good. Although he is the son of a big family, there is no high-ranking family named Zhou in Nanling County. Could it be that this young man comes from out of town.
"Young master Zhou is here this time. Do you want to prepare some elixirs for the Tianji Sect's assessment?" Qian Chongyu said cautiously. Although he is a strong man in the Gangwu Realm, he can cover the sky with one hand in some small towns in the wilderness, but in Ningcang City , but they definitely don’t dare to be a little presumptuous, especially some powerful families. There are as many powerful people in the Gangwu realm as the Qing of Crossing the River. If you accidentally offend the young man in front of you, I am afraid that even the Gongsun family will not be able to protect him.
After all, the Gongsun family is only a prefecture-level family, and the young Yuanwu realm disciples in the family are not qualified to own a storage bag, let alone a spirit beast bag.
Thinking of this, Qian Chongyu became more and more wary of Ye Feng's background.
