When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

After half an hour.

The taxi stopped in front of a market town in the western part of Linchuan City.

This is the largest distribution center for medicinal herbs in the entire Linchuan City – the West Suburbs Medicinal Herbs Market.

As soon as you step into the market entrance, a fragrant aroma of medicinal herbs wafts over you.

It's not the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine, but rather the flavor of spiritual herbs that have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth from the deep abyss.

The scale of the entire market town was astonishing.

There were no tall buildings on either side of the street; instead, there were only street stalls made of thick tarpaulins.

Thousands of warriors and mercenaries moved about among them.

Hundreds of vendors loudly hawked the spiritual herbs they had gathered from the Black Mist Abyss and the crystal cores dropped by slaying strange beasts.

There were even whole pieces of exotic beast meat, exotic beast materials that could be used to forge armor and weapons, and scattered healing medicines, etc.

Within the market area, there are several rather conspicuous pharmacies.

Huichuntang, Miaoyifang, as well as Baicaotang and Suwenguan.

Four shops occupy prime locations at the intersection of Fangshi Road, making the competition seem fierce!

Jiang Feng did not go directly into the pharmacy, but instead leisurely strolled around in front of various vendors.

He needs to figure out the market prices for these materials, otherwise he'll easily get ripped off.

"Uncle, how much is this Crimson Blood Vine?"

Jiang Feng squatted down in front of a stall selling spiritual herbs and pointed to a section of vine that was so red it was dripping blood, and asked.

The core ingredients of his prescription were the Crimson Blood Vine and the crystal core of the second-tier beast, the Earth Golden Bear.

The middle-aged man with a full beard looked up at the sound, glanced at Jiang Feng's youthful face, and then shook his head and chuckled, "Little brat, don't bother me."

"If you want to buy materials, have your dad come."

How could a boy who looks to be around ten years old afford the Crimson Blood Vine? Besides, even if he bought it, he wouldn't need it at all.

Jiang Feng wasn't annoyed. In fact, people who wear their emotions on their sleeves are easier to get along with.

The most troublesome situation is when you encounter someone who seems to be smiling but is actually hiding a knife behind their back!

"Uncle, I have money, give me your price."

"You really want to buy it?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Jiang Feng, and his gaze immediately sharpened.

Good guy!

His aura is powerful; he's at least a second-grade martial artist!

Such a young second-rank martial artist?!

A smile immediately appeared on his face.

"This is a century-old Crimson Blood Vine that I picked from the cliffs of the Abyss's Black Mist!"

"It's a core ingredient for refining the First-Grade Boiling Blood Pill!"

"Since you're a student, it's a flat price: 200,000!"

"puff!"

Upon hearing the price, Jiang Feng rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Two hundred thousand?"

"Sir, are you robbing me?"

How could he not know about the Boiling Blood Pill?

It is a first-grade auxiliary pill that can burn blood and qi to increase strength in a short time after taking it. However, after the effect wears off, it will make the martial artist's blood and qi weak and unstable. Long-term use will damage the foundation of martial arts.

Because of its severe side effects, this elixir is not sold by the Martial Arts Association.

It can only be found on the black market.

And each one only costs eight thousand yuan!

"Uncle, even if you refine all of this Crimson Blood Vine into Boiling Blood Pills, you'll only get about twenty at most, which would sell for a maximum of 160,000 on the market! And that doesn't even include the cost of the other materials."

"You're asking for 200,000 right off the bat? Do you really think I'm some rich kid with nothing better to do?"

Jiang Feng's words immediately drew laughter from several stall owners nearby.

"Haha! Old Zhou, you've kicked a hornet's nest!"

"This little guy has a sharp eye; you still want to bully him!"

"Exactly! Two hundred thousand units of Crimson Blood Vine? Go take that to the Rejuvenating Hall across the street and ask them. They'd think you're crazy and kick you out!"

"Old Zhou saw that they were young and wanted to fleece them, but he ended up making a fool of himself!"

"Hey buddy, ignore him. I have some fifty-year-old Crimson Blood Vine here, I'll give it to you cheap, want it?!"

After being ridiculed by his peers, Lao Zhou's face immediately turned red.

He did intend to rip off Jiang Feng because of his young age, but he didn't expect to run into a ruthless and knowledgeable person.

"Alright, alright! I guess I'm just unlucky today! One price, eighty thousand yuan, take it or leave it!"

He coughed awkwardly twice and waved his hand.

Jiang Feng weighed the piece of Crimson Blood Vine in his hand, but didn't rush to pay.

A single dose of Golden Body Tempering Powder requires only 3 grams of the essence of a century-old Crimson Blood Vine as a medicinal guide.

In other words, if these 80,000 yuan worth of raw materials were handed over to a high-level pharmacist, they could be perfectly formulated into fifty finished products!

A single dose of Grade 2 Bone Tempering Powder sells for 15,000 yuan on the market.

And his Golden Body Tempering Powder can sell for at least 30,000 yuan a set!

Fifty finished products, that's 1.5 million!

Nearly twenty times the profit!

Jiang Feng's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

However, he calmly put the Crimson Vine down.

Because he has absolutely no idea how to prepare the medicine!

Furthermore, to sell prepared medicines, one needs to obtain a national pharmacist certificate and a drug business license.

Operating without a license is selling counterfeit medicine!

They'll definitely be arrested!

"So... it's not going to work for me on my own."

"We must find a well-established pharmacy to partner with!"

"Let them provide the equipment and pharmacists, and I'll just sit back and collect my share of the profits!"

After making up his mind, Jiang Feng spent two hours exploring the entire market.

Apart from a piece of excellent quality, a hundred-year-old Crimson Blood Vine, which Old Zhou had, all the others were several decades old.

What's even more troublesome is that the crystal core of the second-tier alien beast, the Earth Golden Bear, is priced at 250,000, and no bargaining is allowed!

As Jiang Feng walked, he arrived at the entrance of the four major pharmacies.

"Let's talk about cooperation with the pharmacies first."

Because he knew Xiao Xingye and Xiao Wanning, he made Huichuntang his first partner.

Enter Huichuntang Pharmacy.

The scene inside made him frown.

As the oldest pharmacy in Linchuan City, it occupies a very large area and has a strong aroma of medicinal pills.

However, the counter was deserted, with hardly any martial artists browsing and buying, making it seem quite desolate.

After wandering around, Jiang Feng was shocked to find that the prices of pills here were outrageously high, completely treating martial artists like韭菜 (a metaphor for being exploited)!

For example, a high-grade Qi and Blood potion that sells for 10,000 yuan a bottle according to the Martial Arts Association is priced at 12,000 yuan here!

A second-grade bone-tempering powder that costs 15,000 yuan a dose is being offered here for 25,000 yuan!

No!

Where does Huichuntang get its confidence?

Daring to sell at such a high price?!

Jiang Feng frowned as he walked to the counter.

A woman dressed in a white pharmacist's coat sat behind the counter.

She was engrossed in watching the short drama about persimmons, completely ignoring the river breeze.

"Hello there."

Jiang Feng tapped the counter with some displeasure and asked in a deep voice, "Your Bone Tempering Powder is priced at 25,000 per dose. Can you make it cheaper?"

Upon hearing this, the woman impatiently looked away from the screen.

She first glanced at Jiang Feng with disdain, then sneered in a sarcastic tone, "You think it's too expensive? If you think it's too expensive, then don't buy it!"

"Our Huichuntang products used to sell for 30,000 yuan apiece!"

"It's on sale now, so the price has dropped to 25,000!"

"Buy whatever you want, or get lost! Don't waste my time watching your show!"
