Immortal Master Invincible

Chapter 1139 Alien World (46)

Sure enough, the ruins are not ruined, they just look dilapidated, but a large parking lot appeared in front of us, the cars were neatly arranged, the dim lampposts illuminated the parking lot brightly, and there were many luxury cars inside .

The entrance to the parking lot is an automatic gate. After recognizing the vehicle number plate, the railing will automatically lift up. Pang Xiaonan noticed that there is a camera next to the gate.

The 3 people got out of the car and walked towards the black market, because Peng Yuyan had been here before, so he knew the way.A few street gangsters wandered in front of the entrance of an underground staircase, staring at Peng Yuyan and the others vigilantly. Peng Yuyan said, "These are thugs from the black market, to prevent anyone from making trouble."

There were other people of all kinds going down the stairs with Pang Xiaonan and the others, "It's really lively." Pang Xiaonan followed Peng Yuyan down the stairs and walked down the ground. From time to time, people passed him by, "Where is this?" It’s a black market, it’s like an underground shopping mall.”

Going down to the first floor, sure enough, it was just as Pang Xiaonan guessed, the passageway was rebuilt from an abandoned sewer, and on both sides of the sewer were stalls that sold all kinds of weird things, Pang Xiaonan saw To control the stately knives for sale here, as well as bows and crossbows.

"We just came in like this?" Pang Xiaonan asked Peng Yuyan curiously, "If terrorists come in and make trouble, won't the scene in the black market get out of control?"

Peng Yuyan explained: "Have you noticed the ubiquitous cameras?" Peng Yuyan pointed to the wall of the sewer, and sure enough there were cameras every few steps, "We have been monitored by the black market since we entered the black market. The cameras will match the captured figures with the national citizen database, and screen out dangerous elements in a timely manner. In addition, these cameras will also manually monitor everyone's every move in the black market, capture dangerous actions in time, and respond quickly. Inform the security personnel to come and clear the danger."

"You seem to know this place very well." Pang Xiaonan looked at Peng Yuyan in surprise. According to him, anyone in the black market has nothing to hide.

Peng Yuyan smiled and said: "I used to deal with the management of the black market because of my work, so I am quite familiar with this place. Although it is called a black market, it is actually safer than any other place outside. And my face is in The black market is registered, otherwise why do you think we can enter and exit freely?"

"Brush your face!" Pang Xiaonan blurted out, "Then you must know that there are some things you can buy in the black market. Please introduce them to me. You can't come all the way." Pang Xiaonan mainly wanted to find some top-quality medicinal materials to enhance his skills, But he is also very curious about the black goods in the black market.

"This black market," Peng Yuyan leaned his head sideways and said close to Pang Xiaonan's ear, "There are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy."

"Is it really so miraculous?" Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that if what Peng Yuyan said was true, wouldn't the top medicinal materials he needed be readily available?It may cost a lot of money, but as long as money can do something, there is a way.

"This black market for sewer improvement is only one floor of the black market. The things sold here are mainly new and exotic products, such as those weapons with huge destructive power, which are located on the third floor underground, such as artillery and grenades. The second basement is mainly medicinal materials and antiques, in short, expensive things, we went to gamble on stones this time, and it is also on the second floor; the darkest business is all on the fourth basement." Peng Yuyan looked at Pang Xiaonan, showing a smile .

"What is the darkest business?" Pang Xiaonan was really curious.

"It must be a criminal business." Representative Wang interjected. As a politician in Huaguo, he is certainly no stranger to the dark side.

Peng Yuyan nodded and said: "Mr. Wang is right, buying and selling murders, and buying and selling people all belong to the business scope of the fourth floor. Of course, there may not be goods there. For example, if you want to find a killer , the hitman might send an agent to sit there and just wait for a client to come."

Pang Xiaonan showed an unbelievable expression. He looked at Mr. Wang and said, "Old Wang, don't you care that this kind of thing happened under your nose? What kind of society is this? The world is going downhill. How can you be worthy of the people's treatment of you?" Your trust, how can you be worthy of your title as a member of parliament?" Pang Xiaonan shook his head exaggeratedly, with a contemptuous expression.

Councilor Wang snorted coldly and said: "You just want to manage these things, can you manage them? If there is no demand, there will be no market. As long as the demand is still there, these crimes cannot be eliminated. I told you that it is better to block Shu, at least now the black market is still within our control, and the law and order in Huahai City is relatively balanced, which is enough. If I really want to close the black market, these underground societies will go to other places to commit crimes. We have to search for their whereabouts everywhere, causing great trouble to our security management."

Pang Xiaonan patted Mr. Wang on the shoulder, gave a thumbs up, and said, "As expected of Mr. Wang, he is thoughtful in thinking about issues! I understand what you mean. Rather than killing all of them and reviving them, it is better to gather illegal crimes together. Comprehensive governance, high, really high!"

During the conversation, the three of them went down to the second basement floor. There were relatively few people here, because once they reached this floor, ordinary people could not afford it. The goods here cost hundreds of thousands of dollars at least, such as antiques. Category, the antiques on the black market are not ordinary antiques, they are basically national treasure antiques, and ordinary antiques will not be sold on the black market.

The antiques here are either stolen or smuggled from abroad. However, ordinary antique lovers dare not come here, because the antiques here are all expensive. If you miss your eyes and buy fakes, it will not be worth the candle up.

Mr. Wang pointed to a painting and said: "I never thought that there was such a copy of "The Old Man and the Sea" on the black market. I heard that this painting was stolen from the Lefield Museum many years ago. For so many years, the museum can only hang one painting. Fakes are there for people to see, but the real ones are on the black market."

Pang Xiaonan took a closer look, the painting was about one foot square, it was framed in a photo frame, and hung quietly on the wall. MP: "Is this painting famous? How much is it worth?"

Mr. Wang thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, the auction price of this painting used to be more than 2000 million, and the price should have increased now."

"Damn it, it's worth tens of millions at this level?" Pang Xiaonan knew nothing about painting, but he believed that this painting was at most at the level of a primary school student. The thick lines were like random graffiti.

Councilor Wang shrugged helplessly and said, "This is the work of a master. It was conceived by Impressionist Obircon. I also think the painting is very ordinary, but his paintings are worth the price."

Pang Xiaonan asked curiously again: "Why didn't I see the seller? What if I want to buy it? Also, this painting is hanging here, isn't it afraid of being stolen? Even if it can't be stolen, isn't it afraid of being smashed?"

"As I said, the black market is safer than any place outside." Peng Yuyan pointed to the frame and said, "Look at this frame, it's made of bulletproof glass. If you want to destroy it, it's very difficult to succeed. And look at this Surrounding cameras, as soon as you make a move, security personnel will come over and subdue you immediately."

Pang Xiaonan looked around the painting, and there were indeed several cameras arranged in 360 degrees with no dead ends.

"As for the seller, he will definitely not stay here aboveboard. If you fancy this painting, you only need to contact the black market," Peng Yuyan pointed to a notice posted on the wall, "here is the customer service number of the black market , and then the black market will contact the seller, and if the buyer and the seller reach a deal, the money will also go through the black market, and the black market is equivalent to an intermediate guarantee agency, which guarantees the interests of both buyers and sellers."

"Fuck, this is the same model as online transactions." Pang Xiaonan suddenly realized.

"That's right, but you can't buy and sell anything on the black market openly online." Peng Yuyan walked out of the gallery, "Come on, let's go and look at the medicinal materials."

The structure of the second basement floor is completely different from the sewer, that is, the first basement. The sewer is the sewer, but from the second basement, it is newly dug in the black market, so the planning is completely different. It is really designed according to the mall. For example, the shop that sells paintings is designed to look like a gallery.

The 3 people came to the medicinal materials area on the second basement floor. The first store they saw had a few counters. There were some medicinal materials in the counters, but the quantity was not many. They all looked like one or two trees, which was different from the shop next to them. , there is a person guarding the store in this store, he should be the shopkeeper.

Pang Xiaonan entered the shop first. He is very interested in medicinal materials. Although he is not familiar with some of the medicinal materials in Hallelujah Star, the things inside should be valuable and good things, and there may be unexpected ones. harvest.

"What kind of medicinal materials do you three want to find?" The shopkeeper is a fat middle-aged man with a plump face. Simply put, he is chubby, giving people a kind feeling. kind.

Peng Yuyan spoke up and said, "Boss, their store is all decorations, not just decorations. They basically didn't send anyone to look at the store. Why did you come to the store? If customers are interested in your medicinal materials, there will be black market staff following you." You contacted, you just have to sit at home and wait for the call."

The shopkeeper had two mustaches. He smiled back at Peng Yuyan's words and said, "Yes, if you want to relax, you only need to wait for the phone at home. However, the feeling of someone in the store is completely different from waiting for the phone to trade. Come on, do you guys like cold, unmanned shops when you go shopping? I am here, and I can answer customers' questions in a timely manner, so the medicinal materials will naturally sell more, right? The rent on the black market is very expensive, so I have to think about business."

Councilor Wang nodded and said approvingly, "The boss is indeed a business elite."

The shopkeeper stretched his right hand towards the counter, motioning everyone to look around, and said with a smile: "I don't think the three of you are ordinary people. Let me see if you need the medicinal materials here. Of course, the medicinal materials here are just a part of me. If If you have other needs, let me know, even if I don’t have one here, I can help you find it.”

Pang Xiaonan glanced at the herbs on the counter. He was at a loss, turned his head and asked the shopkeeper, "Boss, do you have any good herbs for invigorating Qi? If you want a good one, it's best to use the whole hallelujah star." They are all scarce.”

Pang Xiaonan's routine is very simple. Even if he is not clear about the medicinal material system of Hallelujah Star, the principle is the same. Rare things are more expensive. The reason why rare medicinal materials are rare is because they need a high spiritual energy value to grow. As a result, very high aura values ​​are usually only available in places with Wuhua Tianbao, so the rarer the rarer, the higher the spiritual energy value, and the human body can greatly increase the spiritual energy after absorbing it.

Qi is the driving force of all physiological functions of the human body. It is formed by the combination of the essence of water and valleys and the inhaled natural atmosphere.When the human body is full of righteousness, evil spirits will not invade and make people sick.How can we invigorate Qi? Food tonic is an important method of health care.Tonifying qi is a method generally understood by the public to treat qi deficiency syndrome.Also known as Yiqi.People with qi deficiency are often caused by eating disorders, old age and infirmity, and chronic illness, and clinically show syndromes of viscera function decline.According to the characteristics of clinical manifestations of qi deficiency in different viscera, different qi invigorating methods can be used, such as invigorating lung qi, invigorating spleen qi, invigorating heart qi, invigorating kidney qi, etc.

When it comes to invigorating qi, doctors know what it means, and people in the medicinal material business naturally know it clearly, so Pang Xiaonan told the shopkeeper that he wanted rare medicinal materials for invigorating qi, and the shopkeeper naturally knew what he needed.In fact, Pang Xiaonan's needs are also the current needs of Councilor Wang. Although the medicinal materials he has given to Councilor Wang during this period of time are also valuable, they are still high-end goods. There may be extremely rare medicinal materials in the black market. .

"The medicinal material for replenishing qi?" The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said, "Ginseng is the first choice for replenishing qi, especially wild ginseng. Wild ginseng also depends on where it grows and how long it has grown..."

Ginseng is one of the most important and precious medicinal materials for invigorating qi. It is known as the king of herbs. It tastes sweet, slightly bitter, and slightly warm in nature. Qi-tonifying medicinal materials, everyone calls ginseng "goblin", which means that ginseng absorbs the essence of all things underground.

Ginseng can promote the development of human cells and increase the number of cell divisions. Scientific research shows that human cells stop after about 50 divisions, and it takes 2 years and 5 months for each cell division. If it can reach 50 divisions, it can live. By the age of 120, ginseng can be often used for weak breathing, cold limbs, weak pulse, and shock with low blood pressure due to its great vitality.

In addition, because ginseng has a tonic and strong effect, it can resist aging. It is suitable for chronic illness, physical weakness, palpitations, spontaneous sweating, cold limbs, shortness of breath, collapse, heart failure, neurasthenia and other diseases.

Modern studies have confirmed that ginseng has a good regulatory effect on the nervous system, has a gonadotropin-like effect, and has a cardiac effect; it can lower blood sugar, enhance hematopoietic function, enhance adrenal cortex function, improve the body's ability to adapt to the external environment, and improve immunity. Function.In addition, ginseng can also promote protein synthesis, inhibit the occurrence of hypercholesterolemia, and promote the recovery of chronic diseases.

But Pang Xiaonan is not very interested in ginseng, because most ginseng is artificially cultivated now, so the aura of heaven and earth accumulated by ginseng is very limited, just like a mountain producing 1000 ginseng, and a mountain producing 1 ginseng. Ginseng, 1000 ginseng monopolizes the resources of a mountain, compared with [-] ginseng sharing the resources of a mountain, the energy level endowed by nature is very different.

Even if there is that kind of wild ginseng, the production period is mostly not too long, because the growth environment of ginseng is relatively harsh, and it has its own sweet and sweet taste, which is easy to attract the greed of small animals, so ginseng is easy to eat during the growth process. die young.Generally speaking, ginseng that can survive for a long time either has no natural enemies nearby or is guarded by wild animals, so it is doomed to be super valuable perennial wild ginseng.

Pang Xiaonan interrupted the shopkeeper's description of ginseng, and asked straightforwardly: "Do you have wild ginseng here? How old are they?"

The shopkeeper pointed to a small counter near the inside of the shop, and said, "I do have an old wild ginseng here, which is the treasure of our shop. You can take a look."

Because the counter was inside, the lights were relatively dim, so Pang Xiaonan and others didn't notice it. At this moment, the eyes of several people were guided by the shopkeeper.

The three of them gathered around the counter, carefully observing the legendary old mountain ginseng lying on the counter.

In terms of describing people, this ginseng is five big and three thick, with big arms and round waist, and its outer skin is also black and not autumnal. It really looks like a priceless old mountain ginseng.

Councilor Wang quietly asked Pang Xiaonan: "What do you think?"

Pang Xiaonan nodded and said, "Well, it looks good."

"Oh? How did you know that?" Although Councilor Wang is well-informed, he doesn't have a deep knowledge of medicinal materials.

Pointing to the ginseng tree, Pang Xiaonan said: "There are two ways to distinguish the age of ginseng. One is to look at the stems, leaves and fruits of ginseng. This method has large errors and is usually not used. The second is to look at the roots of ginseng. We usually The ginseng mentioned is actually the root of ginseng. To identify wild ginseng, five key points must be mastered, namely the "five shapes" of reeds, veins, skin, body, and whiskers."

Councilor Wang nodded and asked, "What is a reed?"

"Reed is the rhizome, also known as the underground stem, which is the slender part of the top of the main root, commonly known as "reed head". The above-ground part falls off every autumn, leaving a stem mark on the rhizome, commonly known as "reed bowl". The number increases with the age of ginseng Increase is also the main sign to identify the age of ginseng. Due to the influence of growth environment and natural disasters, it can be divided into many situations. And being tight is always good."

Mr. Wang leaned down and carefully looked at the surface of the ginseng tree. Indeed, there were many bowl-shaped scars on his head.

Pang Xiaonan continued to explain: "The main body of ginseng is divided into shun body, rhomboid body and pimple body. Among them, there are more shun body and less rhomboid body. Ginseng grows in the natural environment for decades or even hundreds of years. The older the skin of the ginseng body, the better the color. The darker the ginseng is, the older it is." He pointed at the body of the ginseng tree, "The iron wire pattern on the ginseng body is also one of the characteristics of wild ginseng, the shape is like iron wire wrapped around the ginseng, thin, dense and deep , the circles are facing each other, the two are not connected, the denser and more the iron lines, the older the ginseng."

Councilor Wang pointed to the lower part of the ginseng and asked, "Why are there so few beards on this ginseng tree?"

Pang Xiaonan said: "Ginseng whiskers are the part used by ginseng to absorb nutrients. The older the ginseng, the fewer and thinner the whiskers are, so the whiskers of old ginseng are simple and fresh. Ginseng grows underground for decades, and the whiskers will rot and die. New ginseng will grow again, and the rotten ginseng will leave scars, which are pearl spots, so the more pearl spots, the longer the ginseng age."

Mr. Wang straightened up and said with a smile, "I didn't expect there are so many ways to identify a ginseng tree."

Pang Xiaonan knocked on the countertop and said, "It's like identifying stones. Every thing in nature has its unique growth environment, so it has its own different value laws."

Mr. Wang nodded and said, "According to what you said, this ginseng plant is at least several decades old."

The shopkeeper has been quietly listening to the discussion of several people. At this time, he interjected: "My old mountain ginseng is close to a hundred years old, and it can be said to be unique in the market."

Pang Xiaonan turned his head and asked him, "Shopkeeper, how much do you sell this ginseng for?"

The shopkeeper smiled without saying a word, and stretched out 3 fingers.

"30?" Peng Yuyan was surprised. A medicinal herb costs 30. Maybe it's not enough to make a bowl of soup, and it needs to be mixed with other medicinal materials.Originally, he planned to guess 3 yuan, but selling things on the black market, 3-level ginseng does not have the qualifications. If the sales are slow, the rent of the store alone will not be able to earn back.

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "This brother is joking, even if I dare to sell 30 old wild ginseng, you dare not buy it. It's 300 million!"

"300 million!" Peng Yuyan was speechless secretly, but he had seen the big scene after all, so he didn't show any surprise. He turned his head to look at Pang Xiaonan, because among the three of them, Pang Xiaonan was probably the most knowledgeable.

Pang Xiaonan patted Peng Yuyan on the shoulder and said, "If it's really a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, 300 million won't be expensive."

Then Pang Xiaonan said to the shopkeeper: "Boss, can you show me that old mountain ginseng?"

The shopkeeper raised his mouth and said: "It seems that the little brother is a person who knows the goods, yes, I will take it out for you to take a closer look."

The shopkeeper selected a small but delicate key from the key chain hanging on his trousers, opened the door of the cabinet where the wild ginseng was placed, carefully took out the white ceramic plate with the old wild ginseng, and put it on the counter .

"Look!" The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation, "But please don't touch, long live understanding."

"Okay." Pang Xiaonan naturally knows the rules here, this wild ginseng is very valuable, if he accidentally breaks it, the shopkeeper will definitely feel bad.
