Whether Li Mo really knows how to read minds, Yun Ruoyan has no way of knowing, but Li Mo really brought her to a rather secret underground city.
Not long after the carriage drove, Li Mo asked the driver to get off the carriage and drove the carriage himself.
Li Mo drove the carriage through the secluded alleys in the imperial city, Yun Ruoyan didn't go out often and didn't know the way, so she fainted within two turns of the carriage in the alley.
At this moment, if Li Mo left her behind, it would be difficult for Yun Ruoyan to find her way home.
"What do you mean by taking me around in circles?" Yun Ruoyan poked her head out of the carriage and shouted.
"This is a formation. If we don't go this way, we won't be able to find the entrance of the place we are going to." Li Motouhe said without turning back: "Why, are you still afraid that I will sell it to you? You are so ugly that you can't sell it. price."
"I..." Unconvinced, Yun Ruoyan wanted to say that Miss Ben is beautiful, but she swallowed the words again. Even if she is an ugly girl and her peach blossoms keep rotten, if she shows her true face and is not surrounded by peach blossoms every day, does she still need to practice
Li Mo tilted his head, seeing Yun Ruoyan's unconvinced yet unable to refute, he found it funny.
"You use all the cosmetic ointments I gave you." Li Mo asked.
"used."
"That's good, keep using it, and it will become beautiful sooner or later."
The carriage finally stopped at the entrance of a narrow alley, and Li Mo signaled Yun Ruoyan to get off, then took out a black robe from the carriage and handed it to Yun Ruoyan to wear.
Li Mo found a place to tie the horse at the corner, stopped the carriage, and led Yun Ruoyan into the narrow alley.
The alley was very dark, and only a faint light could be seen. At first, the alley was wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Gradually, the alley became narrower and narrower, only enough for one person to walk.
Yun Ruoyan followed Li Mo, looking at Li Mo's tall back, his dark black robe seemed to be melting into the night.
Yun Ruoyan couldn't help but want to reach out and grab Li Mo's clothes, but when she stretched out her hand and just touched it, she retracted it.
"Ouch." At this moment, Li Mo suddenly stopped, and Yun Ruoyan bumped into his back.
Yun Ruoyan's nose was sore from being hit, and just about to have an attack, she heard Li Mo say, "Here we are."
Then I saw Li Mo reaching out his hand into the darkness in front of him, pulling away the darkness in front of him like opening a door curtain, and the light shone from between Li Mo's hands.
Noisy voices also came over at the same time.
"Partridge grass, hey, Tripterygium vine is here, it's not poisonous and doesn't cost money!"
"One product of poison pill, sold at a low price."
"There are still three fangs left by the Triangle Demon Snake. If you want to buy it, hurry up and do it. Action is worse than action!"
Yun Ruoyan bent down and looked in from Li Mo's armpit, only to see that the sun was shining outside and the pedestrians were bustling, it looked no different from going to a market on the street.
No, there is a difference.
The people here are uniformly dressed in black robes, and the things they hawk are deadly poisons.
"Where is this?" Yun Ruoyan asked curiously.
"The underground market sells some things that cannot be bought in the market." Li Mo turned around and put the hood on for Yun Ruoyan, and even tucked a strand of hair into the hat for her.
"Okay, let's go." Li Mo pulled Yun Ruoyan out of the alley and stepped into the underground market.
"What do you want to buy?" Li Mo asked.
"Green cicada wings, dam base grass, crazy woman tree flower, hook gall seeds..." Yun Ruoyan reported the names of seven or eight kinds of poison refining ingredients in a row, all of which were listed by Jiujiu for her. The name Yun Ruoyan has never been heard of.
"How much money did you bring?" Li Mo asked again.
"I brought two hundred taels."
Yun Ruoyan said proudly, she heard from Jiujiu that poison refining materials are all born in miasma, where poisonous insects gather, and it is very difficult to obtain, so it is even rarer than spirit grass, so the price is also very high.
Two hundred taels is more than half of the property in Tinglanyuan, and she managed to get it from Shaoyao.
"Green cicada wings, two pairs of green cicada wings." Yun Ruoyan suddenly heard the sound of selling from a stall on the right.
"Hey, there are green cicada wings over there." Yun Ruoyan broke away from Mo's hand and ran over.
"Boss, how do you sell the green cicada wings?" Yun Ruoyan ran to the booth and asked. The owner of the booth was not only wearing a black robe, but also a face scarf, covering his whole body tightly.
"Little girl, do you want top-grade ones, mid-grade ones, or low-grade ones." The boss asked. What surprised Yun Ruoyan was that it was clearly a man's voice when he yelled loudly just now, but now when he asked in a low voice It became the voice of an old woman.
Yun Ruoyan was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it. She also asked in a low voice: "Didn't you just say that there are only two pairs? Now why are there still high-grade, middle-grade and low-grade?"
"Oh, there are two pairs of high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade." The boss explained in the low-pitched voice unique to the old woman: "So there are six pairs in total. Which one does the little girl want and how much?"
Yun Ruoyan looked sideways at Li Mo who was standing beside her. Li Mo folded his arms and didn't intend to speak.
"Well, how much does it cost?" Yun Ruoyan asked.
"This is a medium-grade green cicada wing, and it costs thirty taels."
"What? Thirty two pairs!"
Even though Yun Ruoyan had some mental training, she was still intimidated by the price. Her monthly bill is only three taels a month, but these three taels are enough for most people to eat and wear for half a year. This pair of cicada wings only cost thirty taels, what a robbery!
However, what made Yun Ruoyan bleed even more was yet to come.
"I'm sorry, little girl, it's thirty taels for one, and sixty taels for a pair."
The boss smiled and said, oh, no, I can't see the boss's face, but the voice is laughing, and Yun Ruoyan doesn't care if it's a mockery or not, she has already been overwhelmed by the high consumption here tender.
"Little girl, do you want it?" The boss continued to ask with an amiable smile, "If you want it, I'll make it cheaper for you, and I'll give you a low-grade green cicada wing."
Yun Ruoyan was a little conflicted, she was here for the first time, she didn't know the situation, thought it was expensive, but she was afraid that the shop would disappear after passing through this village.
When she was about to grit her teeth and prepare to cut her flesh, Li Mo pulled her away.
"Hey, why don't you buy it, little girl, or I'll give you a cheaper price!" The voice of the man who yelled just now came from behind.
"Li Mo, what's the matter?" Yun Ruoyan asked while being dragged away by Li Mo.
Li Mo took Yun Ruoyan to a corner, let go, and said, "That's fake."
"Why is it fake?" Yun Ruoyan opened her eyes wide.
"Too cheap."
Too cheap? !
Yun Ruoyan's eyes widened even wider.
Li Mo told Yun Ruoyan that in the market, because everyone pretends to hide their identities, fakes are common in buying and selling, and once you buy a fake, there is absolutely no possibility of returning it.
Drug refining materials such as green cicada wings usually cost eighty taels each, and there is no room for bargaining.
"What? I want eighty-one taels." Yun Ruoyan suddenly felt that she was too poor. All the belongings on her body were combined to buy a pair of green cicada wings. This underground market really doesn't treat money as money. .
Li Mo finally brought Yun Ruoyan to a booth in a corner. Behind the booth sat quietly a tall and thin man, wearing an ink robe but without a hood, but wearing a pitch-black mask to cover it up. face.
"Master, master." Jiujiu spoke in Yun Ruoyan's mind at this time, "This man is a fifth-level poison refiner. Hey, it's strange, how could a fifth-level poison refiner go to the underground market to sell medicine. "
On Shenyuan Continent, poison refiners are even scarcer than pharmacists. The price of poison refined by fifth-level poison refiners is not lower than the price of elixir refined by fifth-level pharmacists. They are definitely not short of money.
Seeing Li Mo stand up from the stool, the man gave a slight salute, Li Mo nodded, and then he sat down. It turned out that the two knew each other.
Since they knew each other, Yun Ruoyan felt relieved to ask, almost everything Yun Ruoyan wanted to buy was available at this stall, but the prices were also frighteningly expensive.
Yun Ruoyan calculated that it would cost at least 1,200 taels of poison refining materials on the list made by Qi Jiujiu.
The difference is a whole thousand taels.
Li Mo looked at Yun Ruoyan's slightly frowned brows and the unconcealable pain in her eyes, and leaned into her ear and said, "If you don't have enough money, you can borrow it from me. You don't have to pay it back, just promise me one request." .”
Li Mo's warm breath sprayed on Yun Ruoyan's cheek, immediately reminding her of the sudden kiss from Li Mo in Prince Yu's Mansion.
Yun Ruo has no ability to resist Li Mo's frivolity, and she finds that she is not as repulsed by Li Mo's closeness now as before.
Just like the kiss in the morning, although Yun Ruoyan still pretended to be dead, she was surprised to find that she was getting used to being close to Li Mo. This realization made Yun Ruoyan a little startled.
The body can be forced, but the mind must not be subjugated. His Royal Highness King Yu can play as much as he wants, but she can't afford it!
Therefore, Yun Ruoyan blurted out: "No! You are short-handed and soft-mouthed, and the price of His Royal Highness King Yu is so cheap, the little girl dare not be greedy."
Li Mo didn't force it either.
Finally, after discussing with Jiujiu, Yun Ruoyan bought some cheap poison refining materials with all the money on her body.
Jiujiu said that these materials can be used to refine some simple poisons, and can be used to practice hands.
As for the materials on the list, she will buy them after she raises enough money.
When she was about to leave after shopping, Yun Ruoyan saw the black-faced man hand a pitch-black box to Li Mo, and Li Mo took the box and put it away.
Yun Ruoyan didn't see Li Mo paying, so he turned around and took her away.
Yun Ruoyan bought the materials and was anxious to go back to practice, so she didn't want to go shopping, and the two walked directly towards the exit.
When passing by a booth, Jiujiu suddenly stopped Yun Ruoyan, saying that he could feel the smell of the poison cauldron in the booth next to him.
The so-called poison cauldron is a medicine cauldron specially used for refining poison. Although the general medicine furnace for refining elixir can also be used for refining poison, its effect cannot be compared with that of a medicine cauldron specially used for refining poison.
"Master, the medicine cauldron for refining poison is extremely hard to come by." Jiujiu said, "And judging from this aura, this is a medium-grade medicine cauldron, which is hard to come by."
Even though Yun Ruoyan stopped in her tracks, her pockets were already empty.
what to do!
