Sima Youyue squatted on the ground and picked up the rhinoceros grass. She looked at the boss and asked, "How much is this rhinoceros grass?"
When the peddler saw Sima Youyue's clothes and aura, he could tell that she was rich.
"Three thousand five hundred gold coins." The peddler said with a smile.
The young man beside him became anxious and said, "Didn't you just agree to sell it to me for three thousand gold coins?"
"But you don't have the money, and you said that I would only keep it for you if the price is above three thousand five hundred. Now that this young master wants it, I can only sell it to him for three thousand five hundred." The peddler said confidently.
Sima Youyue smiled and said, "Your rhinoceros grass is worth at most 800 gold coins."
"Young Master, please don't speak nonsense. 800 gold coins can only buy ordinary Rhinoceros Grass. Mine is crimson red and is over 200 years old." The peddler hurriedly explained.
"Yeah, this is just an ordinary Rhinoceros Grass. It's only worth 800 gold coins." Sima Youyue said with certainty.
"Nonsense. Can't you see its color? "The peddler roared, raising his voice to hide his guilt.
"You dyed this color," Sima Youyue said.
"Don't slander me. Does my rhinoceros grass look like it was dyed red? Look at the rhizome, the leaves are all red! Will it be dyed like this? "The peddler pinched off a leaf. Indeed, even the insides were red.
"I don't know how you dyed the leaves red, but I think there's something you don't know. Rhinoceros grass that is more than 200 years old will have a red line on its leaves, but you don't have it." Sima Youyue pointed at the leaves.
"What thin thread? You haven't seen it before, so how would you know?" The peddler said.
"How do you know that I haven't seen it before?" Sima Youyue asked with a smile.
The peddler saw the smile on her face and felt a little scared. This guy couldn't have really seen the red rhinoceros grass, right?
"Does the Scarlet Rhinoceros Grass really have that red line?" The young man asked.
"Yes." Sima Youyue said. Seeing that the other party still refused to admit it, she said, "Seems like you won't give up until you see the coffin."
She directly cut off the rhinoceros grass's stem, and there was still a bit of emerald green at the roots.
"My rhinoceros grass!" The vendor did not expect Sima Youyue to do that, but it was too late to stop her.
Sima Youyue threw the grass in her hand to the ground, stood up and clapped her hands, saying, "No matter what you do, the roots won't turn completely red."
"This …" The peddler's face turned ugly.
"How dare you lie to me!" The young man angrily rebuked, "Fortunately, I haven't bought your rhinoceros grass, otherwise, I would have been killed by you!"
"Listen to me …" The peddler explained.
"Hmph, liar, don't buy from him anymore!" the young man shouted and turned around to look for Sima Youyue, but she had already left.
After Sima Youyue exposed the truth, she turned around and left with everyone. Just as she stepped out of the door, someone called out to her.
"Brother, please wait."
Sima Youyue recognized the man's voice and stopped to ask, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The man walked in front of Sima Youyue and bowed to her, saying, "Thank you brother, otherwise I would have bought a fake red rhinoceros grass."
"You're welcome, I'm just not used to seeing fake things." Sima Youyue said.
"No matter what, I still have to thank you." The man said, "May I ask if you've seen red rhinoceros grass before?"
"Yes." Sima Youyue said.
There were many in the spirit pagoda.
"May I know if you have it?"
"Yes."
Hearing Sima Youyue's words, the man's eyes lit up and said excitedly, "I urgently need a stalk of red rhinoceros grass, may I know if you can sell it to me? I'm willing to buy it at a high price. "
"Someone in your family is injured?" Sima Youyue asked.
"Yes, a month ago my brother's arm was burned by Li Mu and he needs this rhinoceros grass to heal his injury." The man said.
"Li Mu? The one from the Alchemist Guild? "Sima Youyue asked.
"Yes, that's him." The man said, "My name is Lu Yuan and my brother is Lu Ming. My brother is from the Alchemist Guild and because he went against Li Mu, he was burned by him. He has been looking for red rhinoceros grass for a long time to heal his injury. "
"Can't burns be cured with healing elixirs? Why is it still not healed after so long? "Sima Youyue had never encountered such a situation.
"Because Li Mu's flame is not an ordinary flame. Ordinary healing elixirs are useless." Lu Yuan's face was full of anger.
Sima Youyue remembered that she had mentioned before that it was not easy to heal burns from other flames. She was suddenly interested.
"Although this two hundred year old rhinoceros grass is rare, it's not impossible to find. Why haven't you found it yet?" Sima Youyue asked.
"Yes, those big medicine shops do have it. However, that Li Mu's position in Saint City is very high. He said that no one can buy rhinoceros grass from us. Otherwise, we would be going against him. That's why we can't buy rhinoceros grass from the medicine shops. We can only come to this kind of free market to try our luck. Today, we finally found it, but we didn't expect it to be fake. "
"Why don't you go to the big markets?" Sima Youyue asked.
"Those big markets are all opened by the various guilds." Lu Yuan's words were full of bitterness.
Because they were opened by the various guilds, they had to give face to Li Mu. That's why even if they had it, they wouldn't sell it to him.
"Li Mu is just a fourth ranked alchemist. How can he have so much face that all the guilds are willing to help him?" Fatty Qu asked.
"Although he's just a fourth ranked alchemist, he has a close relationship with Vice President Qian. He also has relatives who are elders. Furthermore, his talent is very good. He's deeply appreciated by the other guilds. Naturally, no one wants to offend an alchemist with such potential. "Lu Yuan said helplessly.
"I'm quite interested in your brother's injury. Can I go take a look?" Sima Youyue asked.
"This … Our family's situation is very bad right now. It's better if you don't get involved with our family at this time. If others see you with us, it might bring you danger." Lu Yuan tactfully declined.
"It's okay. In any case, we're already enemies with that Li Mu. As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Let's go take a look at our friend. Let's go. Lead the way. "Sima Youyue didn't take Li Mu seriously at all.
Lu Yuan saw Sima Youyue's insistence and agreed to bring them to his house.
Sima Youyue didn't think that the Lu family was actually in the central district. She was even more curious about their family.
One had to know that even the first ranked powers couldn't live in the central district. But a normal family could live here. This meant that they had the right to live here. At that time, they must have been a very prosperous family. Their status surpassed the first ranked powers!
