In Akasaka Jixi Market, the air is filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.
All medicine shops here have pharmacies in their backyards, and many pharmacists make medicine directly in the pharmacies. Every time the medicine stove is turned on, thick smoke billows, and the rich scent of medicine spreads around like a hurricane.
The various medicinal aromas mixed together turned into a sticky, slippery and substance-like mist, which gently seeped into the clothes and hair of pedestrians on the road, coating everyone with a layer of turbidity. The medicinal fragrance.
Geng led Ji Hao and Manman to walk slowly on the main thoroughfare of the West City. While introducing the shops on the roadside to Ji Hao, he breathed greedily.
To a great witch like Ji Hao, these medicinal aromas are just useless exhaust fumes. But for slaves with humble status like Geng, the aroma of these medicinal herbs can nourish their fragile bodies, strengthen their qi and blood, heal their injuries and prolong their lives.
On weekdays, if there are no guests, they are not allowed to enter Akasaka Market at all. Being able to take a hearty meal in the West Market and take a sip of the thin medicine that leaks out when the pot is turned on is also the biggest dream of Takashi and more low-level slaves in the Akasaka Collection.
"Noble sir, this is Canglan Tower, which specializes in various water-based medicinal herbs. The most famous thing about Canglan Tower is their 'Canglan Bibodan'. After taking one pill, you can move freely underwater for three months. It is a great way to explore various An indispensable magical medicine when you are in dangerous situations in the abyss or fighting on the water.”
"Here, this Huiming Pavilion specializes in various sword wound medicines. When many witchcraft weapons are tempered and cast, the swords are filled with gold poison. The sword wound medicine in Huiming Pavilion is best at dispelling the metal poison on the swords. , it is a life-saving medicine on the battlefield."
"And this Baicao Hall specializes in all kinds of witch medicine that nourishes qi and blood and restores vitality. Your noble lord, you know it. The great witch has long qi and blood. As long as the qi and blood are endless, he will not fall even if he is chopped with a knife or an axe. But on the battlefield No matter how abundant the qi and blood are, there will always be times when they are exhausted. This requires Baicaotang's witchcraft medicine to save life. With just one dose of witchcraft medicine, a peak witch can quickly recover more than 30% of his qi and blood!"
Geng obviously knows a lot about the various shops in the West Market. He can tell you everything about what the large and small pharmacies mainly deal with and what the elixirs they refine are good at.
As he was walking, in front of a medicine hall that covered a wide area and was built entirely with silver-striped boulders and decorated extremely gorgeously with fine gold and silver, an extremely hoarse voice came out:
"No, no more. I only brought this little thing. I want the 'Xiao (Xiao) Marrow Pill' to save my friend. He is poisoned and can't survive. I only want one Xiao Marrow Pill, just one pieces."
"I don't have any more jade coins. No more. Can't I default? But I don't have any more."
"I want the Hibiscus Pill to save my friend! I only have this one friend."
Vaguely, the voice repeated the same topic over and over again. He has no more jade coins, but he needs to buy the Marrow Pill to save his friend.
Ji Hao narrowed his eyes, Huimui Pill? He had seen the recipe for the Haimui Pill in the witch palace's pharmacopoeia, but to refine the Pill, the bone marrow of the nine-headed ghost-faced dragon was needed to prepare the pill. The main production area of ghost-faced tiger is north of Akasaka Mountain. The climate environment south of Akasaka Mountain makes it extremely difficult for ghost-faced tiger to reproduce.
Therefore, although the Witch Palace has the formula for the Pills, the number of Pills produced every year is only 800 pills, which is not even a drop in the bucket for the huge number of people belonging to the Witch Palace and the Pusaka people.
However, the Huisui Pill is powerful and mild in nature. It is the only antidote to the severe poisons of several strange poisons.
"Huisui Pill, isn't it expensive?" Ji Hao looked at Geng.
"I vaguely remember that in the West City, a Huisui Pill costs about three million jade coins." Geng frowned and said hesitantly: "My lord, you are a wise man. Evil things like ghost-faced dragons can only be found in the north." A large number of them are raised. Its cost is extremely high. If it is transported to Akasaka for sale, the price will naturally increase several times."
"If you want to detoxify, there are many other detoxification drugs, and it is not necessary to use Huisui Pill, so the sales of this pill have not been good. But once you are forced to have no choice but to use Huisui Pill to save your life, then you are in trouble. Those vicious poisonous insects are extremely poisonous, and there is no cure except Huisui Pill."
"Yeah, there's no cure? Then I'm dead!" Manman's eyes widened and he looked at Geng in surprise.
"Isn't it just that I'm dead?" Geng sighed softly and pointed to the gorgeous medicine hall: "The 'Akawood Palace' is the property of a big family in the north. They rarely sell one on weekdays. It’s rare for someone to ask for the Pill to save their life. If they don’t intentionally raise the price, it’s good. If you’re short of a jade coin, they won’t sell it to you.”
Ji Hao took Manman's little hand, walked to the door of Chimu Palace and looked inside.
Many people had gathered at the entrance of Chimu Palace to watch the excitement, and some were still muttering in low voices.
"This blue-eyed dragon cricket has enough heat. If you want to exchange it for three million jade coins, it's still worth it."
"Tsk, who would let this old piece of wood be stupid? If he comes to Chimu Palace with something, the price will definitely be reduced."
"This old wood is going to be in bad luck. If you go to Chimu Palace, he won't be able to get away without peeling off a layer of skin."
In the unusually spacious lobby of the Chimu Palace, an old dryad standing a hundred feet tall stood blankly in the middle of the lobby, with a few flexible branches steadily supporting a large leopard covered in black energy with two wings on its back.
On the trunk of the old tree demon, from the two flaming eye sockets, large green tears continued to flow out.
"Three million, that's all I have. You said this Green Smoke Dragonfly is only worth two million jade coins? But people say it's worth at least three million jade coins!"
"I don't have any jade coins anymore. I don't have any. I only have one friend. Give me the Huisui Pill to save him. I will pay him back, pay him back!"
A Yu tribe man stood in front of the old tree demon and whispered something.
The old tree demon roared loudly and waved his branches angrily.
"I won't sell it anymore... I'll go to another house. There is also Huisui Pill in other houses! I want to save people, and I won't sell it to you."
Staggeringly, the old tree demon walked towards the door: "If you change the place, you can always buy it. I can save you from the Marrow Pill."
Ji Hao looked at the old tree demon and the sticky green tears in his eyes, and couldn't help but grin. These monsters were the most honest and straightforward, and they were forced to cry in public. He was really worried about the big leopard with wings on its back.
Just after taking two steps, a cold and stern shout suddenly came out.
"No matter where you go, no one will dare to steal the business of our Chimu Palace. You really can only buy this Marrow Pill from our Chimu Palace!"
"Not enough jade coins? You can sell yourself! Your strength is pretty good. If you discount one million jade coins and sell yourself to our Chimu Palace as a slave, wouldn't you be able to save your friend?"
