The yellow paper wasn't expensive. He bought three sheets for fifty copper coins and even had to cut them. Ye Kong asked for them to be two inches wide and five inches long. The shopkeeper didn't ask why. He would cut them as long as he was paid.
Not long after, a hundred or so yellow slips of paper were passed into Ye Kong's hands. After paying the money, he conveniently snatched a pornographic album from the shop owner's hands.
"Buy one get one free." Ye Kong flipped through the book and left.
Yellow paper was easy to buy, but cinnabar wasn't. Actually, in professional terms, cinnabar was mercury sulfide in its solid state. Its main component was mercury. There were no chemical stores in Cangnan Continent. If he wanted to buy cinnabar, he would have to go to a pharmacy.
The pharmacy did sell cinnabar, but because people rarely used it, Ye Kong went to a few pharmacies but they were all out of stock. Finally, under the guidance of someone, he came to the busiest pharmacy in the city, Tong Chun Hall.
"This is Tong Chun Hall. I hope I can buy cinnabar," Ye Kong muttered under the golden plaque of Tong Chun Hall as he walked up the stairs.
This was the largest pharmacy in Nandu City. The lobby was very spacious, and people came and went to buy medicine. In the corner, there were a few people arguing over something.
Ye Kong turned to look in the direction of the door and walked straight to the medicine counter.
"Do you sell cinnabar here?" Ye Kong asked the shop assistant inside.
"Ah? Cinnabar? I think so. Please wait. "The shop assistant didn't recognize the cinnabar and hurried to ask the shopkeeper.
"We do have cinnabar, one tael of silver," the middle-aged shopkeeper replied. He looked at Ye Kong, who was wearing a rough coat, and said to the shop assistant, "There are some in the storeroom. It's hard to find. Ask him to pay first."
Ever since Ye Kong cultivated the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture, he clearly heard the shopkeeper's words. He also knew that the shopkeeper was afraid that he wouldn't be able to afford it, so he took out ten taels of silver.
"Give me one tael." Ye Kong put down the taels of silver.
"Okay." The shop assistant took the silver and said politely, "Dear customer, there is a bench over there for you to rest on. Please take a rest. I will go to the warehouse to find it for you."
Ye Kong nodded, walked to the resting area, sat down, and closed his eyes to wait.
As soon as Ye Kong closed his eyes, his hearing became even sharper. Not only could he hear what everyone in the hall was saying, but he could also hear who the person was, where the person was, what they were saying, and who they were.
"This immortal technique is truly wondrous!" Ye Kong praised in his heart. He's only in the first layer of the Aura Refining realm, yet his five senses are already so sharp. It seems that in the future, being able to hear a thousand miles away won't be difficult.
"Miracle Doctor Kan, please help me. If you don't treat my mother, she'll go blind."
"I'm not going, I'm not going. If you want to see a doctor, pay up. This is a pharmacy, not a charity hall."
"Divine Doctor Kan, we Lu brothers are begging you, okay?"
"No! Why? Do you still want to fight? You ruffians also know that there will be a time when you need to beg us. If you say you don't want to go, then don't go. If you don't pay up, you won't treat me! "
When Ye Kong heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at the dispute at the medical table. There were doctors in charge of large pharmacies, and they could treat minor illnesses and pain on the spot.
He opened his eyes to pay attention because he heard about the ruffians and scoundrels. He wanted to see what was going on with his counterparts in Cangnan Continent.
However, these two local ruffians were a bit more miserable than the hooligans on Earth. Although these two people were tall and strong, their clothes were very shabby. They wore short coarse clothes with a small hemp rope tied around their waists. They looked like farmers.
The two ruffians became anxious after being refused by the doctor. The older one glared at them but was helpless. He sighed and begged, "Miracle Doctor Kan, please forgive us. Last time, it was the gang that forced us to come to Tong Chun Hall to collect our monthly payment …"
"Then you can go to the Dragon Snake Gang and find someone to treat you." Miracle Doctor Kan interrupted them coldly and snorted, "Don't even think about causing trouble. We have already paid our monthly payment. You can't cause trouble here, or your gang leader will not spare you."
Ye Kong closed his eyes again. It turned out that these two ruffians came here to collect protection fees and offended the pharmacy. Now, they wanted to hire a doctor to treat them without paying. Of course, the doctor would take this opportunity to retaliate.
Of course, he didn't intend to interfere. He didn't have money. He couldn't help them just because they were from another world. There were many ruffians and scoundrels. Who told them to be so impolite when collecting protection fees? When he was in Hanzheng Street, he took special care of the clinic in the area. No one could guarantee that there would be a small injury or pain.
But as soon as Ye Kong closed his eyes, he heard the ruffian say in a deep voice, "Miracle Doctor Kan, how about this? Our family has a precious jade, which is the family treasure of our Lu Family. If you help treat my mother, I will let you see it once."
Miracle Doctor Kan opened his mouth and laughed, "I've long heard of your precious jade. Isn't it just a vague dance of little people in the moonlight? What's so good about it? It costs ten taels of silver to see it once. I don't need to spend ten taels of silver to see a girl in the Spring Appreciation House for a night. "
After Miracle Doctor Kan finished speaking, the people around him also laughed. Someone said, "Cangnan Continent has been around for many years. Many people have some bullshit family treasure, but in the end, they are all garbage. I heard that your family's precious jade can show profound martial arts from the dancing little people, but why haven't you two become masters?"
Ye Kong listened attentively. Indeed, Cangnan Continent has been around for hundreds of thousands of years. Many people have treasures, many of which are useless, but it's hard to guarantee that there are real treasures.
You can't see anything, but it doesn't mean that I can't see it, right? Wasn't Ye Jiabao regarded as garbage by the immortals?
The Lu brothers pleaded again, but they had offended the doctor. Miracle Doctor Kan ignored them, so they had no choice but to bow their heads and leave.
"Lu brothers, please wait." A teenager in a coarse robe stood in front of them.
"Whose family is this unlucky kid? It's none of your business, scram! "Sure enough, no matter what world it is, a gangster will always be a gangster.
Ye Kong didn't get angry and said with a smile, "F * ck his immortal father! Good intentions are treated as donkey's liver and lung. Since you don't want my help, then forget it. "
When the Lu brothers heard that they wanted to help, the older one hurriedly came over and apologized, "Young master, this one is Lu Jun. That was my brother, Lu Yi. His mother is seriously ill and he has a bad temper. Please forgive him."
Ye Kong nodded and said, "I have more than nine taels of silver here. I can lend it to you for a while, but I want to see your family's precious jade."
When the Miracle Doctor said it would cost ten taels of silver, he was actually just estimating. Nine taels of silver was not a small amount. Lu Jun was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.
The surrounding onlookers became noisy, "Young master, the Lu brothers are ruffians. Don't be deceived by them!"
"Young master, that precious jade is really nothing to see. Let's go to my family's heirloom. It's only eight taels of silver!"
"Go to my house! Only seven taels! "
"Six taels!"
"One tael for you to see! Five taels for you to take! "
Ye Kong almost fainted. It seemed that every family in Cangnan Continent had their own heirloom. Alas, he didn't know whether the Lu Family would suffer a loss or not.
Lu Jun and Lu Yi had a notorious reputation. When they heard the noise around them, they immediately glared at them and coldly snorted, scaring the onlookers into silence.
At this time, the cinnabar on the counter was found. Ye Kong took the cinnabar while the Lu brothers invited Miracle Doctor Kan and hired a carriage.
The few of them boarded the carriage and headed towards the Lu Residence.
On the way, Ye Kong learned that a month ago, the Lu brothers went to Tong Chun Hall to collect protection fees. Not only were their words vile, but they also injured two guards. Miracle Doctor Kan naturally held a grudge against them.
However, the Lu brothers were helpless. They were sent here by their gang, and all the money they received had to be handed over. The Dragon Snake Gang was very shady, and their subordinates didn't have a good time. However, they had no choice. They heard that the gang leader, Fan Jiulong, was an expert, and his younger brother, Fan Jiushe, was a powerful character who appeared and disappeared unpredictably.
Hearing this, Ye Kong shook his head. It seemed that the Cangnan Continent's underworld had no future. Originally, he wanted to go back to his old business, but now, it seemed that with such a selfish boss, such a gang was meaningless.
Soon, they arrived at the Lu Residence. However, the precious jade could only be seen at night when there was moonlight. Ye Kong only recognized the door and would come back at night.
Although Ye Kong's expectations for this family heirloom had decreased a lot, he still had to take a look at it since he paid the money.
Afraid that the two brothers would go back on their word, Ye Kong reminded them before leaving, "Lu Jun, Lu Yi, I am Zhennan General's Eighth Brother. If you need anything, go to the residence to find me."
Of course, Ye Kong wasn't asking them to find him. He was just warning them not to go back on their word, otherwise, he would have a way to deal with them.
Although no one in the Ye Clan treated the Eighth Young Master as a person, it was still useful to scare outsiders. The Lu brothers, including Miracle Doctor Kan, hurriedly saluted.
Ye Kong waved his hand, "You're excused."
Just when he was about to leave, he heard Lu Jun remind him in a low voice, "Why don't we send the Eighth Young Master back to the residence? There are a few Dragon Snake Gang tailing us."
Ye Kong had long noticed those people following them, but he didn't expect Lu Jun to notice them as well. It seemed that the two brothers weren't sincere enough at the beginning. They were probably prepared to let those guys rob him and not let him see the family heirloom.
"It's just a few hoodlums, you don't have to worry about them." Ye Kong was a little unhappy in his heart. Damn it, Cangnan Continent is really a bad place to be a good person. This daddy is in a hurry to save you, but you guys didn't even remind me.
Seeing that Ye Kong was unhappy, Lu Jun didn't dare to say anything. He only told Ye Kong to report his background when the time came, so those hoodlums naturally wouldn't dare to provoke him.
Ye Kong sneered. Does this daddy need to report his background? It just so happens that I have cultivated for a year. Let's see the power of this Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture!
