Urban Immortal Lord

"You're not me, how do you know I can't afford it?"

Xia Tian said coldly. He despised people who looked down on others, and the middle-aged man from Huichuntang in front of him was one of them.

"Alright, I'll bring out the oldest ginseng in our shop right now. I hope you won't try to impress me later!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the medicine cabinet. A moment later, he came out with an exquisite brocade box in his hand, which he then opened for Xia Tian to see.

"This is the oldest ginseng in our shop, conservatively estimated to be over a hundred years old. It's priced at 50. Can you afford it?"

The middle-aged man looked at Xia Tian with disdain, his expression smug. He couldn't believe that this boy, who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old and wore clothes that cost three pieces for a hundred yuan at a street stall, could afford this wild ginseng.

I'm afraid even that artificially cultivated ginseng might be unaffordable in the summer.

As for the black leather suitcase that Xia Tian was carrying, it was automatically ignored by the middle-aged man. He knew that many poor people liked to wear fake gold watches and fake gold necklaces in order to pretend to be rich.

To the middle-aged man, the black leather suitcase Xia Tian was carrying should be empty.

Summer naturally couldn't fathom the thoughts of this snobbish middle-aged man. The moment he saw the ginseng, his gaze was deeply drawn to it.

Xia Tian clearly sensed that there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy within this ginseng. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for him to refine the Longevity Pill.

Of course, with Xia Tian's sharp eyesight, she could tell at a glance that this wild ginseng was not over a hundred years old as the middle-aged man had said; it should only be around seventy years old.

In the summer, he also discovered that the roots of this wild ginseng were slightly damaged, causing its spiritual energy to leak out. He guessed that it was probably injured during the digging process.

"How about that? Stunned, aren't you? Never seen wild ginseng this old before, have you?"

Seeing Xia Tian staring intently at the wild ginseng, the middle-aged man couldn't help but show a hint of smugness. At the same time, he inwardly mocked Xia Tian, ​​thinking, "He really is a country bumpkin."

"I've been looking at it for so long, are you going to buy it or not? If not, I'm taking it."

The middle-aged man urged, eager to see Xia Tian make a fool of himself. He said, "If you can't come up with the money later, I'll see how you get out of this mess."

At this moment, the elderly men and women who had come to Huichuntang to buy medicine and register were all attracted and gathered around to watch the wild ginseng that the middle-aged man had taken out, and they were discussing it among themselves.

"hehe."

Xia Tian shook his head and sneered, "This is indeed a wild ginseng, but it's not as exaggerated as you say, over a hundred years old. From my observation, it should only be seventy years old."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man showed a hint of guilt, then said seriously, "How do you know it's not a hundred years old? This wild ginseng has been personally identified by the owner of our Huichuntang shop, and it is indeed over a hundred years old."

After saying this, the middle-aged man was shocked. He knew that Xia Tian's words coincided with what the shop owner had said: this wild ginseng was indeed only seventy years old.

"Moreover, there is a damage to the roots of this wild ginseng, which must have been accidentally injured during digging, causing the loss of medicinal properties. It is not worth the price at all."

Xia Tian said calmly, a cold smile appearing on her face as she looked at the middle-aged man.

"Are you going to buy it or not? If not, I'm taking it inside."

The middle-aged man's face turned ugly when Xia Tian exposed his lie in front of everyone, especially since the wild ginseng had a wound. He knew that the wound on the wild ginseng was extremely well hidden and would not be noticed by ordinary people.

Seeing the middle-aged man preparing to put the brocade box into the medicine cabinet, Xia Tian said, "Don't rush to take it away. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder: the medicinal properties of this wild ginseng have already begun to leak out. In less than a year, it will have no medicinal value left."

Summer's words did not frighten the middle-aged man. He had already seen that this seventy-year-old wild ginseng had been in Huichuntang for ten years. Due to the damage to its roots and the leakage of its medicinal properties, it could only last for three more years without spoiling.

Summer said it would spoil in a year, which was just a way to scare the middle-aged man who judged him by his appearance.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to buy this wild ginseng? Well, I see you know your stuff, so I'll give you a discount. I'll sell it to you for 400,000, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man stopped in his tracks. He knew that Xia Tian was telling the truth; this wild ginseng really wouldn't last much longer.

Seeing this, Xia Tian revealed a smug smile and said, "Since I can tell that this wild ginseng is no longer of any use, why should I buy it?"

"How about this, I'll offer 100,000 to buy it; it's better than nothing."

Xia Tian said casually, as if she didn't care whether she could sell it or not, which made the middle-aged man unsure of Xia Tian's mindset.

"No, the minimum is 30. If you're not interested, then forget it."

That being said, the middle-aged man was, after all, a long-time employee of Huichuntang. Although he was stunned by Xia Tian's words, he would not actually sell it to Xia Tian for 100,000 yuan.

"20. If you're not selling, then never mind."

Xia Tian stated his bottom line, then shook his head, moved his feet, and prepared to walk out of Huichuntang.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly said, "Okay, deal!"

When Xia Tian saw that the middle-aged man had agreed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, he wasn't sure if he could buy this seventy-year-old wild ginseng for 20 yuan.

The middle-aged man also breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Xia Tian would really leave like this. You see, the boss offered 150,000 for this wild ginseng, but he sold it for 200,000. In this way, he could get a commission of 50,000.

Of course, Xia Tian didn't know these inside stories, but even if he did, he wouldn't care. For Xia Tian, ​​he had already made a profit at this price.

According to Xia Tian's estimate, this wild ginseng can be refined into at least ten longevity pills. At that time, will we still have to worry about making money?

The middle-aged man quickly printed out an invoice on his computer and then asked, "Will you be paying in cash or by card?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but worry. He had been worried that Xia Tian wouldn't buy it, but now he was worried that he wouldn't have the money to pay.

"cash!"

After saying that, Xia Tian glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently, then reached out and opened the black leather suitcase. In front of the middle-aged man, she counted out twenty stacks of paper, and then closed the suitcase.

A short while later, after the middle-aged man checked the cash, he handed the brocade box to Xia Tian, ​​and his expression towards Xia Tian instantly became flattering.

Xia Tian completely ignored the middle-aged man's attitude and was just about to ask him if there were any snow lotuses left in the shop.

Just then, at the entrance of Huichuntang, an elderly woman in tattered clothes was pushing a wheelchair, and on the wheelchair sat an elderly man in tattered clothes.

The elderly woman was carrying a plastic bag and struggling to push her wheelchair toward the middle-aged man.

"Red ginseng that is over 500 years old!"

Summer stared intently at the plastic bag in the old lady's hand, revealing an unprecedented excitement!

"Do you buy ginseng here?" the elderly woman asked the middle-aged man with a worried expression.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man said, "Hello, ma'am, we only buy wild ginseng here. The price is determined by the age; the older the ginseng, the higher the price."

Seeing this, the elderly woman quickly opened the plastic bag and held a blood-red ginseng root in front of the middle-aged man: "Young man, can you help me see how much this ginseng is worth?"

"Red ginseng!"

The middle-aged man was shocked when he saw the ginseng in the old woman's hand. It was a 300-year-old red ginseng, worth at least five million, and it was even more difficult to find on the market!

Immediately, the middle-aged man concealed his excitement and said seriously, "Auntie, this ginseng of yours is a mutated red ginseng, and it is about fifty years old. But because of the mutation, the price will be a bit higher."

Upon hearing that the price would be relatively high, the elderly woman quickly said, "How much is this ginseng worth? My husband's leg is injured, and we need money for treatment."

The middle-aged man pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll give you 500,000 for this ginseng, ma'am? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman's face lit up with a smile, and she prepared to hand the ginseng to the middle-aged man.

"I want this ginseng!"
