Shushan swordsman in another world

Chapter 137 Bet
When the old man saw someone stop in front of him, he opened his mouth and explained: "Are you here to buy something or just watch it? If you watch it, don't do it. If you do it, you must buy it."

The old man's words immediately drove Lin Li's desire to shop for things to a thousand miles away. He had no plan to buy things here in the first place, and to be honest, he didn't have any money with him.Except for the rent and food expenses of the hotel, all the money on his body was used to buy medicinal materials. Now he still has money on his body.

Originally, he planned to barter with the old man if he took a fancy to the old man's things, but he never expected that the old man's first words would choke Lin Li to death.No wonder the business at the old man's stall was so deserted.

"Forget it, seeing that you are so stubborn and pedantic, I guess you don't have the vision to recognize the pills I brought out, let alone barter."

Lin Li murmured in a low voice.

Originally, Lin Li had already lowered his voice very low, and didn't want the old man to hear it, but he didn't know whether it was because he was following the wind or he was hiding something, but he just heard Lin Li's words.At this moment, the old man became angry, swept away his sluggish state, and roared: "You brat, what are you talking about, you said that I don't have the vision to identify the pills you took out? Tell you, the old man is a fourth-level pill identification Teacher, I have been a pill appraiser for decades, and I have never identified any kind of pill. Not to mention the pill that you, a little devil, even if it is the pill refined by Yang Kai, the number one alchemist of the Moyun Empire, take In front of me, I can identify several pills and report the names of the pills."

Seeing that someone angered the moody old man again, the people around stopped and watched, wanting to see the excitement.

"Damn it, I didn't expect to meet a crazy old man. Forget it, don't bother with him, let's go."

Lin Li wanted to leave quickly, but the old man said relentlessly: "You brat, you dare to insult my Ling Lao's identification skills. Well, do you dare to bet with me? Take your elixir Take it out and let the old man have a look. If the old man really can't identify the grade of your elixir, and can't tell the name of the elixir you refined, then you can buy everything for free at the old man's booth. Take it. Otherwise, you have to buy everything in my booth at ten times the original price."

What?Isn't this a full-fledged profiteer?

Everyone felt dissatisfied with Lin Li, thinking that the old man was too deceitful.At that moment, someone shouted: "Little brother, don't listen to him, he is a crazy old man, the things on the stall are several times more expensive than those on other stalls. Others will also buy the things he has touched. This old man is simply a rogue, don't be serious with him, you are the one who suffers."

This person obviously suffered from the old man, so he spoke angrily, wishing to rush forward to beat the old man, but he seemed afraid that if he punched the old man, the skinny old man would not be able to bear it, and would die on the spot. landed him in prison.

"That's right, young man, you'd better go, and ignore this crazy old man."

Another group of people kindly reminded Lin Lidao.

Obviously, these people were also angered by the old man.

However, just when everyone thought that Lin Li would run away, Lin Li showed a faint smile from the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Is that so, if you can't identify the grade of my elixir, and you can't talk about the elixir Tell me the name, and let me take all the things on the booth for free, right?"

The old man didn't expect that instead of listening to the warnings of the crowd, Lin Li ran away, but instead showed a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and his heart skipped a beat.However, he observed Lin Li's age again, and saw that Lin Li was only in his early seventeens, not very old, so he felt relieved.

"Hmph, kid, no matter how talented you are, at this age, it's probably impossible for you to create a kind of elixir that never existed in this world. The elixirs that are circulating on the market today, no matter how big or small Little, I know the name very well. No matter what elixir you take out, as long as it is on the market, I can name it. Hmph, although I am old Ling, I am not yet suffering from dementia. I can remember the names of all kinds of pills clearly."

The old man was thinking triumphantly, and just about to nod his head and say yes, at this moment, someone shouted again: "Young man, you must not agree to play this kind of game with him, he is really a fourth-level elixir Appraiser, he has identified countless kinds of elixirs, and he also maintains close contact with the Alchemist Alliance. Even if the elixir you take out is the latest developed by the Alchemist Alliance, he can know the name. So this gamble, you On the surface, it seems that you have taken advantage of it, but in fact you have suffered a disadvantage."

This man knew the old man well. Lin Li looked at him, and it turned out that he was another young man who was selling a stall not far from the old man.This young man, who lives by setting up a stall, usually gets a lot of anger from the old man. The most obvious point is that because of the old man, there are fewer and fewer customers in his stall.Because many alchemists came here to buy medicinal materials, they deliberately bypassed the old man's stall, so they naturally bypassed the young man's stall as well.

"Thank you for your reminder, brother, but I am still very confident in my elixir."

As Lin Li said, he wiped his storage ring with his hand, and took out a jade bottle, which obviously contained a lot of pills.

Seeing Lin Li taking out the jade bottle, the young man secretly called out, "It's over." However, he didn't step forward to stop Lin Li. possible.

"It's settled, as long as you can't tell the name of the elixir, I will take everything from the booth."

Lin Li held the jade bottle and said again.

Seeing Lin Li's self-confidence, the old man hesitated a little, but thinking of Lin Li's young age, it would be impossible for him to create a kind of elixir by himself, so he immediately suppressed his uneasiness, nodded, and said: "Well, as long as I can't tell you the name of your elixir, you can take all the things on my stall. Of course, if you tell me, you have to pay ten times the price to take all the things on my stall. Things to buy."

Lin Li nodded and said, "Okay!"

Seeing Lin Li's willingness to agree, the old man couldn't help hesitating a bit, but once the words were spoken, they were like water poured out or arrows shot out, and they couldn't be taken back.Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and nodded again.

Seeing the old man nodding again, the smile on Lin Li's face became brighter and brighter. Anyway, there were so many onlookers who could witness that it was the old man who forced him to make a bet, not him who forced the old man to make a bet.The elixirs he took out were naturally not all elixirs in this world.Lin Li didn't believe in the pills from the cultivation world, but the old man could recognize them and call them by name, unless the old man also came from the cultivation world.

So Lin Li can guarantee that the old man can't name the elixir [-]%, and he is invincible in this bet.

"Alright, with everyone's witnesses, you don't have to be afraid of me cheating. If I lose, I will buy all your pills at ten times the price."

What Lin Li said was actually implying that the old man should abide by the rules if he loses.

The old man looked at the goods on his stall that were not worth a lot of money, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, why talk so much nonsense, pour out your elixir and let me appreciate it. I I don’t believe it, there is still a elixir in this world that I can’t name.”

Although the old man's tone was not friendly, Lin Li didn't mind. He uncorked the jade bottle, poured out a Pei Yuan Pill, and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the pill, and his expression changed immediately, because with so many years of experience in identifying pills, he knew as soon as he took it that he had never touched, seen, or even heard of this kind of pill.

"The fineness of this elixir is very good. Although the medicinal materials used to refine the elixir are simple, they can give full play to the efficacy of each medicinal material. Although the grade of this elixir is not high, it is still indifferent. Yang Kai, the number one pharmacist in the Yun Empire, can't refine such a perfect elixir. Perfect, really perfect!"

The change in the old man's complexion fell into everyone's eyes when the old man took the medicine pill. At this moment, everyone naturally understood that the old man must not recognize what kind of medicine it was, and they all thought that the old man's face would become more and more ugly because of this. But unexpectedly, the ugly expression on the old man's face flashed away, and then he showed an expression of intoxication, as if a painter got a famous painting that he dreamed of.Although he knew that he had lost the bet because of this famous painting, he was extremely intoxicated, even happy, because he was able to hold this famous painting and watch it carefully.

It turns out that this old man's original name was Ling Ying, and he was a first-class elixir appraiser in the Moyun Empire. He said that he was a fourth-level elixir appraiser, but he was actually hiding his true strength. It can be regarded as a sixth-level elixir appraiser, but because he has never taken the exam for a fifth-level and sixth-level elixir appraiser after he passed the exam for a fourth-level elixir appraiser. Self-proclaimed, those who know him but don't know him well see him claiming to be so, and they take it seriously.

Speaking of which, when he was the chief elixir appraiser in the Alchemist Alliance, the biggest wish in Ling Ying's heart was to meet a elixir. It doesn't matter whether it is high or low, but the key is to use the ingredients used to refine it. [-]% of the medicinal effect is brought into play.

Because he has served as a pill appraiser for more than 40 years, he clearly knows that in this world, the shortcoming of pills is that no matter what grade of pills, there is a serious waste of medicinal effects, that is, The efficacy of the medicinal materials used in the refining of elixir has not been fully utilized.

A well-refined elixir can use at most 50.00% of the efficacy of the medicinal materials, while a poorly-refined elixir can use at most 50.00% or [-]% of the efficacy of the medicinal materials.This is simply reckless.As a elixir appraiser, he knows better than ordinary people how rare some spiritual things of heaven and earth are.And these heaven and earth spirits, which can be encountered but not sought after, can only use [-]% of their medicinal effects at most, how can this not make him sad.

Therefore, his lifelong wish is to be lucky enough to identify a elixir that can bring out 40% of the efficacy of the medicinal materials used to refine it.However, he has served as a pill appraiser for more than [-] years, but he has never been able to fulfill his wish.It was precisely because he couldn't bear this kind of suffering that he left the Alchemist Alliance early and resigned from his position as a pill appraiser early.
