Hundred Herb Hall
"Although my grandfather doesn't allow me to set up my own shop, he didn't say I can't buy a house, right?"
Ning Qi walked directly to the trading market in the capital. As long as you had money, you could even hire an assassin at the Emperor level. There was nothing you couldn't buy.
"Sir, you don't look familiar. Is this your first time here? Do you need me to be your guide? "
After seeing Ning Qi looking around, a skinny boy who looked to be 13 or 14 years old took the initiative to approach him and said.
Ning Qi asked, "How much?"
The boy said, "Only five taels of silver a day."
Ning Qi took out a piece of silver and threw it to the boy without looking at how heavy it was. "I want to buy a house in the inner city. There's no limit to the space. Two or three mu of land is fine."
The boy took the silver and knew it was at least twenty taels of silver. A happy smile appeared on his face. He carefully put the silver in his pocket and looked around vigilantly. After seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he said, "Sir, if you want to buy a house, you can go to the Yi Family. 30% of the housing business in the capital is in their hands. Do you want me to take you there?"
Ning Qi nodded.
On the way, he learned that the boy's common name was Da Gouzi. He was fourteen years old and had been in the trading market for twelve years. He had a pair of good eyesight. He said that from the first time he saw Ning Qi, he knew Ning Qi was a good person. Ning Qi said his eyesight was bad, but Da Gouzi didn't believe him.
"Sir, please come in." At the entrance of the Yi Family, a big man pulled open the curtain and made a gesture to invite him in.
"Sir, you go in first. I'll wait outside."
Da Gouzi was sweating profusely.
The sun was very hot today, and it was the hottest day of the year.
Ning Qi said, "You can come in too."
The burly man smiled and said, "Sir, just let him wait outside. The guests inside are either rich or noble. The stench on his body will affect the others."
Ning Qi looked at him and said, "You have this kind of rule here?"
The big man was stunned. "No."
Ning Qi said, "That's enough. Da Gouzi, follow me. I don't want to say it a second time."
Seeing Ning Qi's aura suddenly increase, Da Gouzi was shocked. He couldn't help but step into the Yi Family. A cool air hit him, making him close his eyes in comfort.
"This …"
"Don't talk nonsense. I want to buy a courtyard in the inner city. Less than 100,000 taels of silver. Hurry up and introduce me."
Ning Qi said.
The brawny man who originally wanted to chase Da Gouzi away, upon hearing that it was a business worth a hundred thousand taels of silver, his face became slightly happy, and said: "This way please, sir. Right now there are over thirty courtyards for sale in the inner city, you can choose as you please."
After spending about two hours, Ning Qi decided on which courtyard he wanted to buy. After the other party knew that he was from the Champion Marquis's Mansion, they immediately sent a woman with a higher position to receive him. They even gave Ning Qi a ten percent discount. In the end, Ning Qi only spent eighty thousand taels to buy a large courtyard that occupied an area of about three mu.
"Young Master Ning, take care." The woman attentively sent Ning Qi and Da Gouzi to the door.
After the two of them left, she ordered her subordinates to investigate which son of the Champion Marquis Ning Qi was. Not long after, there was news from his subordinates.
"What? Thirteenth Son? That bastard? "
The woman's face immediately became unsightly. She had given the other such a high discount for nothing, but she had flattered a useless person!
Ning Qi originally planned to buy the house and then leave, but suddenly he saw a building called "Hundred Herb Hall". His mind moved. Right now he only had a few low-grade yellow-level Spring Returning Pills and a few yellow-level Antidote Pills. It wasn't enough. Right now his health was 2350 points, and the Spring Returning Pill could only recover 20 points of health. It was too little.
"Do you know what kind of pills are sold inside?"
Ning Qi asked.
Da Gouzi said: "This Hundred Herb Hall is said to have been opened by people from the Hundred Herb Sect. It has everything from low-grade yellow-level to top-grade pills."
"Let's go in and take a look."
"Oh, it stinks!"
Two young people, one male and one female, walked past Da Gouzi into Hundred Herb Hall, pinching their noses.
"Master, I'll just wait outside." This time Da Gouzi didn't want to go in no matter what. Ning Qi saw a trace of pride hidden in the depths of his eyes, and nodded.
Walking into Hundred Herb Hall, the inside was very big. All kinds of pills were directly placed on the counters, just like those shopping malls on earth. Inside every counter was a smiling servant.
One of the counters was dedicated to selling Healing Pills. The grades ranged from yellow-level to top-grade mystic. Every pill's attributes were displayed in front of Ning Qi.
"A yellow-level Spring Returning Pill can recover 80 health points, but it's still not enough …"
"A mystic level Spring Returning Pill can recover 400 health points …"
"Master, what kind of pill are you interested in? A mystic level Spring Returning Pill only costs three thousand silver taels, a special price! "The servant saw that Ning Qi was sizing it up, and didn't seem to have any intention of asking the price, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Do you have earth-level Healing Pills?"
Ning Qi asked.
"Earth-level? Then the price … "The servant looked at Ning Qi suspiciously.
Ning Qi said: "The price is not a problem."
The servant said: "Then please go to the second floor, turn right ahead."
On the second floor, a girl dressed in green came forward and asked: "You want earth-level Healing Pills? Please come with me. "
"We have earth-level Lower to top-grade Spring Returning Pills here. Earth-level Lower Spring Returning Pill costs ten thousand silver taels, middle-grade fifty thousand silver taels, high-grade one hundred and fifty thousand silver taels, and top-grade five hundred and fifty thousand silver taels."
The girl in green brought Ning Qi to a counter and introduced.
"Earth-level Lower Spring Returning Pill, can recover 1000 health points."
"Earth-level Middle Spring Returning Pill, can recover 10000 health points."
"Earth-level Upper Spring Returning Pill, can recover 200,000 health points."
"Earth-level Top Spring Returning Pill, can recover 400,000 health points."
After looking at the pill's attributes, Ning Qi suddenly felt that his money was far from enough.
"Young Master Ning, what kind of pill do you want to buy?"
"How do you know my surname is Ning?"
"We, Hundred Herb Hall, know all the nobles in the capital."
The girl in green smiled.
"Yo, isn't this that bastard?"
A middle-aged man appeared in front of Ning Qi with a young woman in his arms.
"It's you!" Ning Qi recognized the middle-aged man with a glance. He was the First Madam's younger brother, a disciple of the capital's Nangong Family, Nangong Shuo. He often came to the Champion Marquis's Mansion, and Ning Qi had been beaten and humiliated by him more than once.
"Young Master Nangong, who is this?" The girl beside Nangong Shuo asked with a charming smile.
Nangong Shuo laughed: "Mei 'er, let me introduce you. This is our capital's famous Champion Marquis's thirteenth son!"
Mei 'er smiled and said: "So it's that bastard."
