282 Most Profitable (1/2)

Mo Wen walked towards those bottles and cans in front of him and pretended to look interested. At times, he would pick up a bottle to have a closer look, even occasionally asking about the price before putting it back.

He realized that those pills in the store, though badly priced and somewhat coarsely produced, did have a little effect and were not exactly fake pills. However, to him, they were useless, so he wouldn't even accept them for free!

He had turned his nose up at those pills in the Redemption main hall, so naturally he wouldn't think highly of these pills in the small store. Although they had little effect, the price for the pills was not little at all, ringing up at a whopping five thousand Contribution Credits at least, with some even costing tens of thousands! Compared to the rest of the items, the price of the pills seemed to be on the high end.

However, the medicinal herbs used to concoct such pills were not simple at all. Mo Wen casually smelled them and realized that some pills contained seven to eight medicinal herbs. Using those medicinal herbs to concoct pills of such a low grade was simply a waste of resources!

That so-called Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was one of the eight big aristocratic families of the ancient martial arts world. Their tactics were reckoned to be a bit shady.

In the eyes of Mo Wen, those so-called medicinal aristocratic families of the ancient martial arts world's concocting such pills was simply wasting the resources of this world. There were so many precious and rare medicinal herbs that he was sure had already been destroyed at their hands.

After viewing the merchandise for a long time, Mo Wen still didn't have any intention of buying anything. Upon seeing this, the store owner's enthusiasm instantly decreased drastically. He even secretly was thinking that this person was without a deep pocket and couldn't afford anything, even if he wanted it.

This kind of shopper was common, those who yearned for the pills but actually couldn't afford them. Hence, they would frequently linger in some of the pill stores in hopes of getting cheaper pills.

However, the pills themselves were precious and rare commodities, so their prices were impossible to be lowered to a discount. Even though there were some cheap ones offered occasionally, one would get what one paid for. Yet, these people would normally turn their noses up at the pills with discounted rates, as they were known to be of poorer quality.

After the store owner had figured Mo Wen out, he took a seat on the side and looked on coldly. He certainly didn't expect this youngster to increase his sales for the day.

Mo Wen wandered around, not finding anything that caught his eye. But, just when he was about to leave, he suddenly seemed to discover something that made him halt abruptly, then quickly walk to the other side of the store. That side surprisingly contained a huge quantity of medicinal herbs!

”This flower is quite beautiful. Do you like it?”

Mo Wen held some white flowers in his hand casually, then turned around to ask Chen Zi.

”Er…”

Chen Zi glanced at the white flowers in Mo Wen's hand, not reacting for a moment.

Why did he ask me this, could it be…

Her face blushed involuntarily, as she couldn't help but think of an awkward question. Then, her heart began to palpitate uncontrollably.

”Don't like it?”

Mo Wen winked at Chen Zi, asking again.

”Ah…I like… I like…”

Since Mo Wen had inquired once again, Chen Zi couldn't avoid him any further, but could only lower her head and acknowledge her affection for the flowers softly. Her ten slender fingers were clasped together, while her heart was pounding rapidly.

What was he doing?

All sorts of thoughts galloped through Chen Zi's mind. Her state of mind was disturbed, her emotions were perturbed, and her entire body felt uneasy.

However, she soon thought…

That's not right! I don't seem to have the charm that would make Mo Wen love me at first sight. Furthermore, Mo Wen has only seen me twice, so how could he fall for me so soon?

As all of these thoughts swirled in her head, Mo Wen then turned around to look at the store owner and asked, ”Boss, how much are these?”

”I can sell them to you, but these are no ordinary flowers, so the price is a little high.”

The store owner uttered hesitantly, secretly lamented that the young people these days were getting more superficial. There were so many pills that could help in practice that they didn't choose to buy. Instead, this guy had his eyes on a stalk of medicinal herbs! Moreover, they were most likely being bought to win a girl's heart!

In the eyes of the store owner, Mo Wen's action was undoubtedly done to ingratiate himself to the girl beside him. There were men who often bought roses for women to profess their love, after all. However, this Fruitless Flower was not a rose, but a precious medicinal herb, so it could be said that even ten thousand stalks of roses couldn't compare to this one stalk of Fruitless Flower.

”Price is not a problem.”

Mo Wen quipped in a gutsy manner, as if he would buy it for the girl he loved regardless of any price.

”This Fruitless Flower is a medicinal herb that can be concocted into pills. The standard price can be inquired on the Huatian Palace's purchase list, but if I am to sell it to you, it has to be slightly above that standard price.”

The store owner introduced this explanation, afraid that Mo Wen didn't know the price of the stalk of Fruitless Flower. It was a total waste of resources to buy a precious and rare medicinal herb as a gift for a girl. However, since the person was willing to pay the price, he wouldn't say no to earning a little profit.

Normally, the medicinal herbs were sold directly to the Huatian Palace. However, since someone was willing to buy them from him here and now, he naturally would be delighted to oblige. After all, an individual purchase would have a higher price than an acquisition of the Huatian Palace, so naturally, the profit would be more, too!

”How much?” Mo Wen's probing question sounded softer than before, not seeming quite as gutsy.

”The Huatian Palace offered the standard price of eight thousand Contribution Credits for the Fruitless Flower. If you are willing to buy it, I can offer it to you a little cheaper. What about nine thousand Contribution Credits?”
