Lin Zi Chen helplessly looked at Lan Luoshen, but he didn't say anything as he continued walking. Lan Luoshen, on the other hand, tightly held onto Lin Zi Chen's arm as they walked forward.
In the dark, Lin Zichen saw a staircase leading downwards. He said, "Hehe, it's called the underground black market. It's indeed underground, this is quite interesting. Huo Qing, let's go down and have a look."
"Yes, Mr. Lin."
The staircase was not very long, but because there was a turn, the lamps on the ground did not shine to the ground. Therefore, one could only feel the darkness in the small building and not the liveliness below.
Underground was a huge space. From above, there was only a single building, but it was only an entrance, and the underground space was comparable to a plaza.
Even though it was so big, the black market was as if it was worth every inch of it. Other than the surrounding shops with over a hundred decorations, there were also quite a few people setting up stalls in the middle. There was a huge cloth on the ground, densely covered with all sorts of materials.
Of course, if there weren't even stalls, there would be a few people standing there with a bag in their hands. It was obvious that they were also waiting to buy customers.
Entering the black market, a medicinal fragrance wafted over. Lin Zichen smiled: "Hehe, no wonder Lu Chenghao recommended this place. It really does not smell like ordinary medicinal ingredients."
At this time, Lan Luoshi stopped. Her watery pupils moved, "Fairy grass, water lingzhi, fire crane fruit …" And there's also the [Enlightenment Flower], wow, so many rare medicinal herbs. Lin Zichen, where exactly is this? "
Lin Zi Chen couldn't help but frown and smile. How could this girl understand Chinese medicine so well, moreover she seemed to be very sexy.
"What is it? You know Chinese medicine? "
Lan Luoshi raised her head and asked, "Is it that strange?" I will allow you to understand jade, but don't allow me to understand Chinese medicine? Let me tell you, I grew up in a medicinal herb heap! "
Finished speaking, Lan Luoshi stuck out her tongue at Lin Zichen, and walked towards a medicine store.
Lin Zi Chen shook his head and smiled, "This girl, I really couldn't tell … …" After he finished speaking, he followed Huo Qing in. Huo Qing did not understand these things, so he told Lin Zichen to wait at the door. Lin Zichen did not try to force him.
This medicine store was not big. It was about a dozen square meters. In addition to the random assortment of herbs, the space was even smaller.
Lan Luoshi looked at the herbs as if they were treasures, and showed a surprised expression, "My god, is this the branch of the imperial concubine?" I've only read about it in the books, but I didn't expect it to be on the market. Boss, what's the price for a Consort branch? "
After Lan Luoshi asked, the shop was completely silent. The owner was a fat man in his forties with a messy beard. He seemed not to have heard her, and continued to sit on the chair with his eyes closed.
Lan Luoshi was stunned. She asked again, but still didn't have any reaction. Lin Zichen said, "Hehe, don't ask anymore. This isn't an imperial concubine's branch, it's a cherry blossom branch. If you ask wrong, how are you going to get an answer from her?"
If one wanted to compare their understanding of these medicinal herbs, Lin Zichen would not lose to Lan Luoshen. His memories were from Empyrean Daoxuan, and not only did Empyrean Daoxuan's martial arts mastery allow him to become a Venerable Being, but he was also a top alchemist.
Alchemists were divided into six ranks: Primary Alchemist, Intermediate Alchemist, Advanced Alchemist, Medicine King, Medicine Sage, and Medicine Sovereign. Daoxuan reached the level of Medicine Sovereign at 150 years old, and even though Lin Zichen was only a Primary Alchemist, he had the knowledge of a Medicine Sovereign.
"What?" Cherry red branches? "But …"
"But the taste is similar, right? Although it is soft, it is extremely tough. If it is not catalyzed by strong fire, I am afraid that the medicinal properties cannot be extracted, but you only know the surface, and not the fact that the branch has grown one inch in ten years. It is extremely exquisite, and does not produce any fruits, and each branch of the cherry red branch has a bean sized fruit, just that it is not obvious. "
After Lin Zi Chen said this, Lan Luo Shi looked at the red branch carefully. "Wow, really, there's really a little fruit," she said, turning around to look at Lin Zi Chen, puzzled, "How do you know? "Where did you learn that?"
"I …"
Lin Zichen didn't know what to say. He couldn't possibly say that he learned it from Empyrean Daoxuan, right? However, just at this time, the shop owner seemed to have woken up. He frowned: "Hey, are you two done yet? "Buy it, buy it. If you don't, go out. Don't chat with me here."
After saying this, both of them were stunned. Was this still business? What logic was there to chase a guest out?
"Hey, how can you say that? I asked for the price but you didn't say anything, and you're not letting us say anything?" Lan Luoshi said angrily.
That boss had a ferocious appearance. At this moment, his frown made Lan Luoshi involuntarily take a step back, hiding behind Lin Zichen.
"Do you want to cause trouble?" The boss stood up and took a few steps forward.
Lan Luoshi was so frightened that she pulled Lin Zi Chen back. After all, she had never seen such a fierce person before, and the aura from their quarrel was gone. However, Lin Zi Chen didn't seem to have any intention of backing down, he still stood there with a smile on his face.
"Heh heh, what's the matter? Why are you not letting me speak? Is this a shop for deaf mutes? "
After Lin Zichen finished speaking, Lan Luoshi laughed out loud. The owner glared at her, "Where did this little bastard come from? How dare you talk to me like that? Are you tired of living?"
"Tsk tsk, you should have kept a low profile when accompanying these medicinal herbs all day long. Why do you think you're so much like a scoundrel?" Lin Zi Chen smiled.
"You … "Brat, you're courting death!" With that, the shop owner waved his fist and struck out. His movements were very big, and all of the fat on his body began to tremble.
However, the shop owner's fist had yet to even approach Lin Zichen when he felt pain in his wrist, as if a pair of pincers had clamped onto his wrist, rendering him unable to move.
"Humph! You're courting death! If you dare to touch my big brother, I'll pinch you to death!"
Huo Qing saw that the atmosphere inside was not right, so he entered the shop. As Lin Zi Chen's bodyguard, if he let Lin Zi Chen take action, he wouldn't have the face to face with Lin Zi Chen anymore.
Lin Zi Chen laughed, "Hehe, it has indeed made me feel a lot more relaxed. This Huo Qing is just a member of the special forces, his observation skills are really strong."
With Huo Qing's exertion, the shop owner cried out in pain, "Ah … Ouch, ooh, ooh, my brother. Don't. "No, I was wrong, okay?"
Huo Qing turned his head to look at Lin Zi Chen, who nodded and said, "Huo Qing, let go of him."
"Big Bro, you must be born with great strength." The boss flattered while shaking his hand.
Lin Zi Chen smiled and said, "What's your name? You're going to make a move in a few sentences, aren't you afraid that there won't be any business?"
I am called Zhao Dun. Actually, all the shops here are pretty similar, because there is only one black market for medicinal herbs in the entire East River. To tell you the truth, every shopkeeper's property is comparable to the big bosses outside.
"It's not surprising, these rare medicinal herbs have extremely high profits. These brutes suddenly became rich and even had tens or even hundreds of millions in one night. This kind of rich guy should have a good temper. What, do you still want to compete with my brother?" Lin Zi Chen looked at Huo Qing as he spoke.
Zhao Dun looked embarrassed. "I don't dare. This big brother is very powerful, so don't joke with me. I was blind earlier, so don't bear grudges."
"Hehe, alright then. I'll tell you about the medicinal herbs. See if you can find them. How about it?"
"Sure, go ahead." Zhao Dun's attitude changed drastically. After all, no one wanted to be beaten up.
"Swordtooth Orchid, Monkey Fruit, Cock Grass..."
Hearing this, Zhao Dun was stunned, "Master, you're really an expert. Which Chinese medical school do you come from?"
"Me? "Hehe, no matter which class you are in, just help me find these few herbs and the price will be fine." Lin Zi Chen said.
Zhao Dun furrowed his brows, "To be honest, I don't have any of these materials here. I've only heard about Swordteeth Orchid before."
After he finished speaking, Huo Qing went forward and grabbed his collar, "Humph, you don't want to sell it, do you? If I told you to look for him, then go and look for him quickly.
"Ah?" Big Brother, don't be angry, I'm serious, I really don't have any here. Although I've been dealing with these herbs for many years, the materials that this grandpa mentioned are not ordinary materials. "Zhao Dun covered his face with his hands and said while backing away," But … I know of one. You guys go and see if you can find anything. "
"Oh?" Lin Zi Chen naturally knew that these materials were hard to find, so he didn't want to make things difficult for Zhao Dun, "Which family are you talking about?"
Zhao Dun looked at the market outside and pointed at the biggest shop, "It's that Zhu Jun who came. Her family owns the biggest shop here. The Lady Boss's relationship with the internet is very shocking, moreover …" "Hehe, that woman is also very pretty. Just looking at her makes you want to do it."
Huo Qing was startled and looked towards the shop, "You were looking forward to it?" "It doesn't look like a medicine store at all. It's kind of like a bathing center or a nightclub..."
Lin Zi Chen rolled his eyes at him. "Cut the crap, let's go take a look."
With that, he walked out of the shop and followed Lan Luoshi with great interest. Today, Lin Zichen surprised her once again. This guy actually knew how to collect herbs, but he had never heard of it before.
"Hey, Lin Zi Chen, what are you doing? What do you need these herbs for?" Lan Luoshi asked curiously.
Lin Zi Chen smiled: "Why should I tell you? If you're bored, you can go back. "
"Tsk, I'm not! I want to see what you want to do!" After she finished speaking, Lan Luoshi followed him even closer.
As he walked into the market, Lin Zichen could smell a strange fragrance. It was different from when he had first entered the market. Although the fragrance of all the herbs was mixed together, it was distinct, and one could feel the fragrance of almost every kind of medicinal herb.
"He really is an expert. The placing of medicinal herbs affects the distribution and effects of the fragrance. Not only can he maintain the best condition for the medicinal herbs, he can also keep the aroma in good condition. Not bad."
Lin Zi Chen looked around. The shop was very big, at least ten or twenty times bigger than Zhao Dun's shop, and the layout was also very clean. When he looked around, he couldn't help but stop at a potted plant.
In the middle of the green leaves, a hard branch that was like a sword stood up straight like a crane among a flock of chickens.
"Zhao Dun is not lying, there really is a Swordtooth Orchid here!" Lin Zi Chen couldn't help but reveal a smile.
