Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 59 Medicinal Materials
Seeing that the other party did not bother to bother with him, Song Changming did not bother to pay any more attention and directly bought all the medicinal materials he wanted in one go, in full amount and for a total of more than three hundred silver coins.

This is not a small amount of money, especially in the eyes of ordinary people, Song Changming is simply spending money like water.

"In this way, there is no need to worry about the medicinal soups for the next two years."

Thinking of this, Song Changming felt much less worried. The money was well spent, and he didn't feel bad about it.

Since this was a large order, he only needed to give the address to the caravan and someone would deliver the goods to his door, without him having to carry the large boxes back.

After solving the problem of medicinal materials, Song Changming continued to stroll around alone.

During this period of delay, Lu Gang had already separated from him and went to watch other excitement.

Suddenly, Song Changming noticed the bidding for ginseng and ganoderma lucidum on a table.

The year and reserve price are indicated on it, and the lowest price is actually over 40 years old.

Many people gathered here to watch these top-quality and precious medicinal materials.

"It is said that many mountains in the north are rich in ginseng and ganoderma. Now I see that it is true."

"Wow, there's even a hundred-year-old ginseng!"

Song Changming listened to the exclamations of the onlookers and also noticed the large piece of ginseng, which was marked as a hundred years old and had been auctioned for an astonishingly high price of one thousand silver coins.

His physical training also required the medicinal properties of this type of ginseng. He was very curious about what kind of powerful help such a hundred-year-old ginseng could bring to him if used for training.

It’s a pity that his remaining money is not enough to participate in the bidding for this century-old ginseng, so he can only look at it.

"Everyone, there is only one of these hundred-year-old ginsengs. Don't miss it if you miss it!" A leader of the caravan shouted, attracting many more people.

Those who were wealthy were all excited about this rare ginseng, but the high price of one thousand silver coins already put some people off.

"One thousand and one hundred silver!"

"One thousand two hundred silver!"

"."

Song Changming watched the bidding price for the century-old ginseng rising step by step, becoming more and more outrageous. Suddenly, he remembered that when Wang Xianwen deceived him, he had used this century-old ginseng as an excuse to make him interested.

Thinking about it now, it’s just funny.

For an ordinary hunter to occasionally obtain rare medicinal herbs of this level would be like having smoke coming out of his grave. I'm afraid that the news has already spread, and it would be impossible for him to come and look for them.

But it was not his fault. Hundred-year-old ginseng was rare in the entire southern states and he had never known the true market price of this hundred-year-old ginseng. He only knew that it was probably very precious, but he did not expect it to be so precious.

As the bids became more and more outrageous, the leader of the caravan began to laugh.

In fact, although a hundred-year-old wild ginseng is precious in the north, one thousand silver coins is almost the ceiling price in the market, and any price above that is considered a premium.

Song Changming didn't have that much money, so he just watched the fun. Later, he spent nearly three hundred silver coins to buy three forty-year-old wild ginsengs, each costing fifty-five silver coins.

He also bought a sixty-year-old ginseng for one hundred and thirty silver coins.

In the past, he mostly used 20-year-old ginseng. Now that he has the chance, although he cannot feel the effect of 100-year-old ginseng, he can take a look at the medicinal properties of other high-year-old ginsengs as a reference.

Especially this one that is sixty years old, is it really worth the one hundred and thirty silver coins?

Thus, today, he had spent almost six hundred silver coins on medicinal materials for martial arts training alone.

Most of his savings were gone in just a moment.

It has to be said that the path of martial arts is indeed paved with money, just as most martial artists say.

Without money, practicing martial arts will mostly be in vain. After leaving the medicinal material auction area with the ginseng, when he found Lu Gang, he saw that he had a lot more items in his hands.

"The precious silk and satin from Hengyang County. My wife has been thinking about it for a long time. I will go back today to make her happy. And this, the famous Qinghe jade from Taiqing County. Do you know how much silver this small piece costs?"

As soon as Lu Gang saw Song Changming, he told him about his gains of the day and finally asked him what he bought.

"They are all medicinal herbs for practicing martial arts." Song Changming simply said what he bought.

Apart from the medicinal herbs, he didn't buy anything else.

"Changming, there are still a lot of good things here, don't just focus on buying medicinal herbs." Lu Gang shook his head.

Song Changming looked at the high-quality silk in Lu Gang's hand and nodded, "It can indeed buy some nice clothes for the two elders at home."

He has not yet married, and all he can think of are his parents and his third sister who is already married.

"By the way, there are some martial arts secret records for sale there. Are they authentic?" Song Changming pointed to the square table not far away.

There were booklets displayed on it, each of which contained a set of martial arts, which made Song Changming very interested.

Lu Gang saw it but didn't take it seriously, he shook his head and chuckled, "Chang Ming, those martial arts secrets of unknown origin are of little use, especially those sold in the market, most of them are fake.

Perhaps what the caravan is selling is more credible, but even so, with a transcript like this, God knows whether there are any errors or omissions in it.

Once you practice according to the instructions and do it incorrectly, you will not only waste time and energy, but also hurt your body. It is completely not worth it.

More importantly, even if these martial arts secret records are real and intact, it would be extremely difficult to practice the martial arts in them by yourself without the guidance of a master.

Maybe after several years, you may not be able to really get started with this skill. If you have this skill, it is better to go to the martial arts school in the city to learn. It is nothing more than paying more tuition, but it is definitely useful and reliable. "

After hearing this, Song Changming had an idea in his mind.

Simply put, these second-hand martial arts secrets are not authentic and cannot be trusted.

If you practice as described, there will be endless consequences. Not only will you lose some money, you may also harm your body.

Song Changming thought about it, gave up the idea, and stopped thinking about the pile of martial arts secrets on the table.

It's not like he doesn't have martial arts to practice right now, so there's no need to waste time on these unauthentic martial arts secrets.

After buying the items he wanted, Song Changming left the treasure auction early.

In fact, he saw many treasures that excited him during this treasure auction.

However, the bids were too high, just like the one for the century-old ginseng. The money he had left was totally not enough, so he ended up letting the deal go.

Compared with the past, he has now firmly established himself in the county town and has achieved certain achievements and status.

This is already very good. At least Song's father and mother are very satisfied with Song Changming's current situation.

After becoming the patrol chief of the urban area, the salary he received was able to meet his most basic needs for physical training and martial arts practice.

If he could encounter a major mission like the one that destroyed the Jiuqu Society, he might be able to make an extra fortune.

But that's pretty much the limit.

If one looks at the entire Donglai County City, he, the patrol chief of the urban area, is just an insignificant little character.

Both what you see and hear, as well as the resources available, are quite limited.

“There’s still not enough money.”
