Zhen Yinjian snickered as he took out a blue and white porcelain bottle, opened the red silk bottle and handed it over to the skinny old man.
Tong Manager took the porcelain bottle and saw that there were five pills inside. Each of them was round and plump, with strange patterns on the surface, and even released a faint fragrance. In just an instant, Goateed Old Man's face changed drastically. He gasped, and exclaimed:
”Are you sure this is for sale?”
Zhen Yinjian's face trembled, he also wanted to see what this old man had to say, so he followed him.
”What's wrong with our manager?” Why did I bring such a little kid to the top floor today? This is the most honorable guest of our apricot leaf, is he even worthy of being treated like this? ” The fat man pouted, very dissatisfied.
”Our shopkeeper is a veteran, don't tell me he wants you to teach him how to do business?” The other guy didn't want to deal with the fat guy, so he laughed and ridiculed him.
”You …” The fat man was at a loss for words and didn't know how to explain himself.
At this moment, only the third shop assistant revealed a puzzled expression. Why did he feel that the fragrance of the 'Spring Pill' in the room was getting stronger and stronger? Moreover, it was emitting an indescribable fragrance.
”Sit here, sit here. Let me brew a cup of tea for you.” Tong Manager smiled like a fox.
With a mouthful of fragrant tea and hot water, and a fragrance lingering in his nose and entering his stomach, Zhen Yinjian slowly asked.
”Shopkeeper, we won't miss anything. I still have seven or eight wives waiting for me at home.” I'm very busy, you know. ”
”Yes, yes, yes. My first glance is for Young Master to feel that he is extraordinary and has an extraordinary bearing. It must be the Hidden Dragon in the Abyss. Sooner or later, he will do something big.” The old man continued to flatter, his laughter as unpleasant as an old crow's.
”En, not bad. Tong Manager Manager is an experienced person after all. Then can you tell me what's going on with this Earth Quality Spring-Returning Pill? ”
”You don't know?” Goateed Old Man looked surprised.
”What do I know? I am from no sect, and I don't have a teacher to guide me.” I just sold your basket of pills, and this bottle of pills in your hands, it's all made by me for the second time, how would I know what a Earth Grade Medicinal Pill is? ” Zhen Yinjian spread open his hands with an innocent look on his face.
”F * ck, he's too arrogant! How infuriating!” This old man has never seen such a shameless person! ” Tong Manager's beard trembled. He endured until his fingers started to itch, wishing that he could beat this brat up.
In his heart, he felt that this young man was simply arrogant to the extreme. What no sect, no school, no teacher … He was able to concoct an Earth rank pill on his second try.
”If you are my grandson and you dare to act so arrogantly, I will arrest you and beat you up!”
Coughing twice, the old man continued to smile patiently. He thought so in his heart, but how could he dare to offend such an outstanding young man?
After all, it was normal for youngsters to be a bit arrogant, so he comforted himself in his heart.
”Let me first explain to little brother what a Earth Grade Medicinal Pill is. The Pill King, Sun Siniang, had once argued that pills were divided into three categories: trash pill, pellet, pellet, pellet, earth pellet, and heaven pellet. ”In general, there is almost no circulation on the trash pill market, and lower, middle, and upper graded pills can be seen in the medicine stores or pill pavilions.”
The old man paused and took a sip of tea before continuing.
”Low-rank medicinal pills are the worst. Medium-rank medicinal pills are the best. High-rank medicinal pills are already considered top quality in a small city like our own. They are considered the most valuable treasures in the shop and are generally not for sale.”
”Why don't you sell the Earth grade and Heaven grade pills?” Zhen Yinjian tried his best to pose a questionable attitude, but the old man's eyebrows twitched.
”Cough cough, it's not that we don't want to, but no one wants to sell it.” Any Earth Grade or above pill, even a Mortal Grade, would have a great value. Without even mentioning the superior medicinal properties of the pill, who knows how many other master alchemists it would attract! ” The old man said while stroking his breath.
”Why is that? A mortal rank pill is not only useful to mortals. All pill refiners are experts with Congenital Stage or higher, how could they even need such a thing?” Zhen Yinjian did not understand.
