Chapter 101: Chapter 96 Miaodan Pavilion_i

He spent twenty wen money and bought two water plants.
The man’s service was decent; he included a small clay pot, filled it with a bit of water, and placed the water plants inside.
This was to prevent the water plants from dehydrating and dying if too much time passed.
The clay pot wasn’t valuable, those small ones could be bought for one wen money for four or five each.
Having money is truly great.
If it had been before, Qin Niu wouldn’t have spared these things a single glance.
Struggling to even fill his belly with food, where would he find the spare money to buy water plants for his turtles?
“Herbal medicines for sale, herbal medicines for sale, freshly dug Black Leaf Sunflowers, excellent for treating bruises and injuries. There’s also Seven-leaf Grass for treating snake and insect bites…”
A little girl’s immature voice caught Qin Niu’s attention.
At this moment, quite a few passersby noticed the little girl as well, but few bought her herbal medications.
Each one was wrinkled and severely withered.
They must have been dug up some time ago.
“How much for this Black Leaf Sunflower?”
Qin Niu stopped in front of the stall.
Because, by virtue of his keen intuition, the wilted Black Leaf Sunflower gave him a very special feeling.
He didn’t know if it was because he had been practicing the Everlasting Spring Technique.
His perception of plants had become much stronger than before, many times over.
Although his ability to identify herbs wasn’t strong, he believed that a herb that could give him a special feeling was certainly not ordinary.
If the price is right, he could consider buying it.
The Everlasting Spring Technique had a very strong nourishing effect on plant growth. Despite the Black Leaf Sunflower looking like it wouldn’t survive, he believed that as long as he planted it, and cultivated the Everlasting Spring Technique next to it for a few nights, he could help it come back to life.
“One, one tael of silver money, perhaps?”
The little girl looked to be only seven or eight years old, her face covered with dirt and her hair in a wild disarray. Her clothes were tattered, with some parts even torn.
But her eyes were particularly bright.
Sparkling and crystal clear, like two black gems.
At the moment, she looked at Qin Niu with a gaze that was both timid and full of hope.
“This kind of medicinal herb, let alone being sold for one tael of silver, even if it’s sold for one wen money per plant, might not find a buyer. Where are your parents?”
The asking price was too high, so Qin Niu prepared to negotiate with an adult to lower the price.
This Black Leaf Sunflower, as long as the price wasn’t outrageously high, he planned to buy it.
But he definitely needed to haggle, using every single wen money in his hand wisely.
He wouldn’t compassionately spend extra silver money on someone’s item just because the vendor was a child in tattered clothes.
This world is truly one where the strong feast upon the weak, and only the fittest survive.
Not a single strong person would offer their cultivation resources to pitiable poor people.
There are too many people in this world who need help.
Qin Niu never thought about becoming a savior, nor would he let his kindness overflow.
“I… my grandfather is sick. I heard that a Tempering Elixir worth three taels of silver money each can cure his illness. So I dug up some medicinal herbs to sell. Big brother, could you please buy one?”
The little girl pleaded with Qin Niu.
“Buying one is okay, but the price has to be cheaper. I’ll give you one wen money for one plant, take it or leave it.”
Qin Niu was unmoved.
He showed a heart of stone.
The little girl must have seen him wearing an Insect Master Robe and thought he was rich, hence the high price she quoted.
“Can you add a little more?”
She seemed young yet cunning.
“Fine, I’ll give you another wen money! Consider it a good deed.”
Qin Niu was eager to acquire the Black Leaf Sunflower, taking advantage of it not yet being discovered by those who knew its true value. Otherwise, if the price was driven up by competition, it might not go for less than one tael of silver.
“Alright! Thank you, Big Brother! The clothes you’re wearing look so mighty!”
The little girl agreed.
And she even complimented Qin Niu.
