Mo Wen walked to the front of those bottles and jars, pretending to be very interested. Occasionally, he would pick up a bottle and look at it. Occasionally, he would ask about the price and then put it back.
He realized that although the pills in the shop were of low quality and the methods of concocting pills were crude, they had some effect. They were not fake pills. However, to him, they were not of much use. He would even complain that they took up space if they were given to him for free.
Mo Wen was not interested in the pills in the Redemption main hall. Naturally, he would not be interested in the pills in a small shop.
Although they were not very useful, their prices were not low at all. Any bottle would cost more than five thousand Contribution Credits. Some would even cost tens of thousands of Contribution Credits.
The price of pills seemed to be on the higher side compared to other items. In fact, it was quite a lot higher.
However, the medicinal herbs used to concoct these pills were not simple. Mo Wen casually sniffed and discovered that some of the pills contained seven or eight types of precious medicinal herbs. Using those medicinal herbs to concoct pills of this level was simply a reckless waste of God's gifts.
The so-called Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was one of the eight big aristocratic families of the ancient martial arts world. Their methods were probably not that brilliant.
In Mo Wen's eyes, the pills concocted by the so-called medical aristocratic families of the ancient martial arts world were basically a waste of this world's resources. Many precious medicinal herbs were probably destroyed in their hands.
After looking for a long time, Mo Wen did not have any intention of buying. Seeing this, the shop owner's enthusiasm was immediately reduced by half. He secretly thought that he was probably another person who was short of money and wanted to buy but could not afford it.
This type of person was not rare. They often had a strong desire for pills but could not afford them. Hence, they often wandered around those pill shops, hoping to find some cheap goods.
However, pills were originally rare items. Their prices could not be cheap. Even if there were occasionally cheap goods, you would get what you paid for. Those people would not be interested in pills with ordinary effects.
Hence, this type of person's business was relatively difficult to do.
After the shop owner signaled for Mo Wen to look around, he sat at the side and watched coldly. He almost did not expect this youth to increase his sales.
Mo Wen walked around and did not seem to find anything satisfactory. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to discover something and stopped in his tracks. He walked to the other side of the shop. It was not where the finished pills were placed. Instead, it was where a large number of medicinal herbs were placed.
"This flower is quite pretty. Do you like it?"
Mo Wen casually picked up a pinkish-white flower, turned his head and said to Chen Zi.
"Uh …"
Chen Zi looked at the pinkish-white flower in Mo Wen's hand. Her brain couldn't react for a while. Why did he ask this? Could it be … Her face subconsciously turned red. She couldn't help but think of a very awkward question. Her heart was beating wildly uncontrollably.
"You don't like it?"
Mo Wen winked at Chen Zi. He continued.
"Ah … I like it, I like it …"
Mo Wen's question once again made it hard for Chen Zi to avoid it. She could only lower her head and let out a soft hum. Her ten slender fingers were intertwined together and her heart was thumping wildly.
What … what does he want to do?
All kinds of thoughts kept popping up in Chen Zi's mind. She felt a little uneasy. She did not know why she felt a little nervous and uncomfortable.
But then she thought about it. Something's not right! She didn't seem to have the charm to make Mo Wen fall in love at first sight. Moreover, Mo Wen had only met her twice. How could he like her? Moreover, Mo Wen was so outstanding. She did not think that she had the charm to make Mo Wen fall in love with her in two days.
Moreover. Mo Wen had only known her for a few days and he had already done something so out of line. It was somewhat frivolous. Could he be a lecher?
Chen Zi started to worry again. All kinds of thoughts came one after another.
Mo Wen didn't care about Chen Zi's thoughts. He turned to look at the shop owner and asked, "Boss. How much is this stalk of flower? "
"I can sell it. However, this is not an ordinary flower. It's a little expensive."
The shop owner hesitated for a while and said. He sighed in his heart that the youngsters nowadays were getting more and more flashy. There were so many pills that could help with practice. Instead of buying them, he had his eyes on a stalk of medicinal herb. Moreover, he was buying it to give to a girl to win her heart.
In the shop owner's eyes, Mo Wen's actions were undoubtedly to win the favor of the girl beside him. Didn't men often give roses to women to express their love? However, the Fruitless Flower was not a rose. It was a stalk of precious medicinal herb. It could be said that even ten thousand roses could not be compared to a stalk of Fruitless Flower.
"The price is not a problem."
Mo Wen said very generously. It seemed that no matter how expensive it was, he was willing to buy it and give it to the girl he loved.
"This is the Fruitless Flower. It is a medicinal herb that can be used to concoct pills. The standard price can be found in the Huatian Palace's purchase list. However, if I sell it to you, I have to pay a little more than the standard price."
The shop owner introduced, afraid that Mo Wen didn't know the value of this Fruitless Flower. Buying a stalk of precious medicinal herb to give to a girl as a gift was simply a waste of God's gift. However, since someone was willing to pay, he didn't mind making a small profit.
Originally, these medicinal herbs were placed here not to be sold. After all, very few people would buy medicinal herbs. Instead, they were directly buying finished pills. It was very difficult to sell them in the shop.
Most of the time, medicinal herbs were directly traded to the Huatian Palace. The medicinal herbs piled up in the shop were to be sold to the Huatian Palace in one go.
However, since someone was willing to buy it, he was naturally happy. After all, if an individual bought it at a slightly higher price than the Huatian Palace, he would naturally earn more.
"How much is it?" Mo Wen asked probingly. His voice was much softer and he seemed to have lost his previous generosity.
"The standard price given by the Huatian Palace for the Fruitless Flower is 8,000 Contribution Credits. If you are interested in buying it, I can give you a discount. How about 9,000 Contribution Credits?"
The shop owner didn't give Mo Wen a high price. After all, looking at Mo Wen's appearance, he didn't look like a rich person. If he gave a high price, he would probably run away.
The standard price was 8,000 Contribution Credits. If he sold it at a lower price, it would be 9,000 Contribution Credits. It sounded very funny, but in the Huatian Palace's Free Trade Zone, it was very normal.
That was because the Free Trade Zone had an unwritten rule. For things like raw materials, selling it to an individual was more expensive than selling it to the Huatian Palace. Otherwise, why would one trade with an individual? Wouldn't it be more convenient to sell it directly to the Huatian Palace?
"Are you sure you want to buy it?"
The shop owner confirmed once again. This youth didn't look like a rich person. To be able to spend 9,000 Contribution Credits to buy a stalk of almost useless Fruitless Flower was somewhat unbelievable.
As for why he thought that Mo Wen buying the Fruitless Flower wouldn't be of much use, it was completely because of his common sense. After all, people who could use medicinal herbs were either doctors or alchemists. It was almost impossible for a youth to be an alchemist. As for doctors, they most likely wouldn't use such high-level medicinal herbs.
"I'll buy it!"
Mo Wen looked at Chen Zi beside him, then looked at the Fruitless Flower in his hand. He seemed to be nodding his head reluctantly.
"Alright, I'll settle the bill now. This Fruitless Flower is yours."
Upon hearing that, the shop owner immediately became enthusiastic. Being able to sell it for 9,000 Contribution Credits was naturally better than selling it to the Huatian Palace. Moreover, he could completely hide the extra 1,000 Contribution Credits and put it into his own pocket. He could just say that he had sold the Fruitless Flower to the Huatian Palace.
After settling the bill, Mo Wen pulled Chen Zi and immediately walked out of the shop.
"Take care. Your girlfriend is really pretty."
Having made a deal, the shop owner was naturally in a good mood. After sending Mo Wen and Chen Zi out of the shop, he even said something that he thought would make Mo Wen very happy.
Looking at the back view of the two of them leaving, the shop owner sighed in his heart. No wonder it was said that it was easy to earn money from women. This was a very obvious example. He was pondering whether he should put more beautiful flowers and plants in the shop in the future. Perhaps there would be such a silly youth coming to visit.
…
"He has misunderstood."
Chen Zi's hands were clasped together. She lowered her head and followed behind Mo Wen.
"I know."
Mo Wen nodded his head. He carefully hid the Fruitless Flower.
"Are you here for this stalk of flower?"
Chen Zi looked at Mo Wen and asked. Just now in the shop, she had realized that Mo Wen's motive could be this stalk of flower. More accurately, it should be a stalk of medicinal herb. Mo Wen's motive for coming to the Free Trade Zone was to look for medicinal herbs.
"That's right. Don't you know?"
Mo Wen looked at Chen Zi strangely. Why did Chen Zi seem to have changed into a different person when she walked out of the shop?
"I know."
Chen Zi nodded her head silently. She didn't say anything else. However, she was secretly cursing in her heart, "Bastard …!"
Mo Wen and Chen Zi strolled around the Free Trade Zone for a while. However, they didn't find any spiritual medicine. Reality proved that no matter where the spiritual medicine was, it was a very rare item. Even if there were any, most of them were sold to the Huatian Palace. The spiritual medicine that was left behind was even rarer.
However, the Free Trade Zone was too big. Mo Wen didn't stroll around every place. Instead, he strolled for a while before leaving.
After all, with the Fruitless Flower, he could concoct the Vigor Cultivating Pill. With the Vigor Cultivating Pill, it could help him practice for a long time. Hence, he wasn't as desperate for the spiritual medicine as before. In the future, when he had the time, he could come over anytime.
"Chen Zi, thank you for accompanying me. I have gained quite a lot today."
The two of them walked out of the Free Trade Zone. Standing outside the Redemption main hall, Mo Wen looked at Chen Zi and smiled.
"Then, don't you owe me a favor?" Chen Zi rolled her eyes and pursed her lips into a smile.
"Yes. I will treat you to ice cream later."
Mo Wen smiled and nodded his head.
"No sincerity at all."
Chen Zi rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. As a man, he refused to take a loss. Only a ghost would want him to treat her to ice cream.
…
After buying the Fruitless Flower, Mo Wen left the Huatian Palace. He still had many things to do outside. Naturally, he couldn't stay in the Huatian Palace for a long time like Pei Fengwu.
This time, Mo Wen had gained quite a lot from his trip to the Huatian Palace. Not only had he broken through to the later stage of the Qi Nucleation realm, but he had also found a stalk of Fruitless Flower. This meant that he could possibly break through to the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm again in a short period of time. (To be continued.)
