Douluo's Black Tower

Chapter 23 23. Honey Price
"Welcome...little brother, where are your adults?"

The speaker was a girl with a proud figure. She was the welcome guest of Jiubao Soul Material.

When she was bored, she heard footsteps. Just as she said welcome, she realized that the person coming was a six or seven-year-old boy. She immediately looked outside the store.

Zhou Ting understood instantly and was speechless.

I'm so young...do I have no human rights?

One or two, just look for the elders and call them little brother...

Can't bear it.

However, considering the natural principles of girls...

No, it was because of her kind eyes and gentle attitude.

Zhou Ting didn't have a seizure, he just said with a dark face.

"Just me!"

The welcoming girl saw a lot of guests of all kinds, and she could see Zhou Ting's dissatisfaction at a glance, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Oh, what does this little guest... want to buy?"

Zhou Ting's heart moved and he asked without saying his purpose.

"What's the price of Jade Emperor Bee honey?"

"Well, I'm sorry, the Jade Emperor Bee has special habits and it's hard to get honey, so our store doesn't have it in stock."

Feeling a little tired with his head raised, Zhou Ting walked to the sofa and sat down on his own, and asked again.

"What's the price of honey?"

The welcoming girl didn't understand why Zhou Ting was so stubborn, but she wasn't angry either. She bowed down to pour tea for Zhou Ting and explained softly.

"Due to the special nature of the Jade Emperor Bee, ordinary soul masters cannot defeat the bee swarm. Although powerful soul masters can defeat it, if the queen bee knows that she will lose, she will destroy the honey, so honey is generally difficult to obtain."

"In addition, due to the special effects of honey, nobles are eager for it. Once honey is taken out, it will mostly be sent to them and will not be sold here."

"As for the price..."

The welcoming girl looked at Zhou Ting's ordinary burlap clothes and said truthfully.

"I don't know the specific situation, but I heard from our store manager that Tiandou City once auctioned Jade Emperor Bee Honey, and one gram... ten thousand gold coins!"

"what?"

Zhou Ting's eyes widened. The price... really shocked him.

Just then, a greasy middle-aged man with a beer belly walked over.

The girl quickly shouted respectfully.

"The store manager."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said.

"Xiaotang, you go and do your work first. I'll talk to this little guest."

"it is good!"

The girl left, and the middle-aged man sat across from Zhou Ting, his eyes flashing, and he said with a smile.

"I am the store manager of Jiubao Soul Material... Rather, little guest... I know everything you want to ask."

With the surname Ning and Jiubao in the name of the store, this store is... a bit interesting!

Zhou Ting smiled and said.

"Oh, let's talk about it."

"Actually, what Xiaotang is talking about is not ordinary honey, but thousand-year royal jelly, which is of inestimable value!"

Ning poured himself a cup of tea and said.

"That was more than 100 years ago. Several Contra-level experts formed a team and entered the Star Dou Forest. They happened to encounter the forest overlord, the Titan Giant Ape, fighting with a swarm of thousand-year-old Jade Emperor Bees. The two sides fought selflessly. In the end, the three Someone took advantage of the chaos and stole a small amount of honey.”

"The final auction price... is indeed ten thousand gold coins per gram!"

Ning Ren looked at Zhou Ting, and suddenly a light of expectation appeared in his eyes.

"That was the price a hundred years ago. Because Jade Emperor Bee honey is becoming more and more rare, the price is now even higher."

Zhou Ting had no expression on his face, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, so casually.

"I just want to know the price of honey."

Ning Ping pondered for a moment before finally answering.

"The purchasing price of Jade Emperor Bee's ordinary honey is one gram. If it's less than a hundred years old, it starts from one gold coin. If it's more than a hundred years old, it starts from fifty gold coins. If it's more than a thousand years old, it's best to send it to an auction house."

He guessed it! !

Zhou Ting sighed: Those who can open a store here and establish a foothold are all talented people!
It’s just this price…

As if he saw Zhou Ting's doubts, Ning explained.

"Little guest, this is already the highest price. Of course, if it's royal jelly, that's a different matter." Royal jelly will not be sold!

Zhou Ting shook his head, took out a glass bottle and placed it on the table, which contained a piece of "white jade".

Ning Ning probed with a flash of excitement in his eyes.

"Can you..."

"Please!"

I would rather open the bottle cap immediately, and immediately, a faint and fragrant fragrance will hit my nostrils, making people feel refreshed!
"It's as white as jade, has a fragrant fragrance, and can make you feel refreshed. It's all right!"

"It's just...this year..."

Zhou Ting crossed his legs, completely unaware of how unethical it was for a child to do such an action!

He said nonchalantly.

"You can identify it!"

"Thank you!"

I would rather take out a clean thin needle, take out a little bit of honey, and shake it gently...

As soon as he closed his eyes, he carefully experienced the changes in his body.

A minute later, he opened his eyes with mixed feelings.

"Centennial Jade Emperor honey, unfortunately, it is not royal jelly!"

Zhou Ting smiled bitterly.

"I also want royal jelly, but there is no chance. Last night, in the Soul Hunting Forest, a moonlight bear attacked the Jade Emperor Bee hive. I took advantage of the chaos to cut some honey, but I was too weak to go deep into the hive. .”

Rather slapped his thigh, his face full of regret, regretting why he was not there at that time.

"Pity!"

The next moment, he just held the bottle and begged.

"My friend, this honey is nearly 200 years old. The price per gram is... 60 gold coins. Please sell it to me, Ning's Trading Company!"

Zhou Ting's heart moved, but he said tentatively.

"Ning, isn't it a Nine Treasure Soul Material?"

Ning Ning introduced with a proud face.

"Nine Treasure Soul Materials is just the most common store under Ning's Trading Company. There are countless such stores in the Tiandou Empire!"

"And Ning's Trading Company is affiliated to the Qibao Glazed Sect, one of the three sects above, and its reputation is absolutely guaranteed!"

“The price is absolutely fair!”

Zhou Ting pondered for a second and immediately made a decision.

"Yes, but..."

Ning asked quickly.

"My little friend, if you have any conditions, it doesn't matter."

Zhou Ting smiled and took out another bottle of Tao from the small cloth bag.

"There's another bottle here."

"it is good!"

I would rather be overjoyed, the gift of returning to the clan is here!

This year’s task assessment... was overfulfilled!

The soul power surged in his hand, and a gleaming seven-story small tower emerged, aiming at the two bottles of honey and sweeping it.

Would rather report detailed data instantly.

"Jade Emperor honey has been produced for nearly 200 years. It is of high quality. The total weight is two kilograms or one tael..."

"1050 grams, total price 63000 gold coins! I'm quite satisfied, little friend."

"it is good!"

Two kilograms of honey sold for 500 gold coins. Although it couldn't compare with Tang San's [-] sets of hidden weapons, which sold for [-] million gold coins, Zhou Ting was also very satisfied.

At the very least, this gold coin was enough to alleviate his difficult financial situation.

You know, the only three silver coins he had on him were taken out of his mouth.

Ten copper coins a day for work-study students may seem like a lot, but in fact, they have to practice cultivation and exercise their bodies. Nutrition is really essential, and food money cannot be saved.

Otherwise, there will be no results from cultivation, and people may become useless through practice.

God knows how Tang San, who often drank white porridge when he was a child, developed a mellow internal strength and a strong body.
