Chapter 39: Cheating Divine Artifact

  Faced with the generosity of the young stall owner, Zhang Yi and Mao Xinxin had a feeling of being both amused and indignant. However, holding onto the idea that saving one cent is still one cent, Zhang Yi readily pulled out his bank card, thanked the young stall owner, and directly paid by swiping his card.

  A few minutes later.

  Zhang Yi carried a shopping bag with three pieces of Zi Jin Ye and three Qing Yun Guo, leaving happily.

  Mao Xinxin, who received 2,000 yuan from Zhang Yi, had a smile all over her pointed mouth and cheeky face, and even felt light and airy when walking.

  "I asked Brother Zhang Yi, what are those three fruits after all? They actually make you want them so much?" Mao Xinxin followed behind Zhang Yi, with a deep curiosity in his smile.

  Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Those three are Qingyun fruits, which are rare and precious. The stall owner didn't recognize their value and wanted to sell all three for 6,000 yuan. I was worried that the middle-aged man would grit his teeth and buy them just now! Luckily, we were able to get them thanks to your help."

  "It's what should be done, it's what should be done."

  His hand involuntarily slipped into his pocket and grasped the twenty 100-yuan bills.

  "Come on! Let's go take a look at other stalls." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

  Time flies, and two hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

  Zhang Yi took Mao Xinxin and searched through dozens of stalls in the next two hours, but they didn't find any more precious medicinal materials.

  "Zhang Yi, brother, it's already noon now. Why don't we eat first? I know there's a good restaurant nearby, I'll treat you, and after eating our fill, we can continue searching?" Mao Xinxin asked with a smile.

  Zhang Yi fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's been three hours since the bet, I don't have much time left. You go eat first! I'm not hungry yet, when I get hungry, I'll just buy something to eat nearby. Tonight, I'll treat you to dinner."

  Mao Xinxin hesitated for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Zhang Yi, brother, people are made of iron and food is steel. If you don't eat enough, how can you have the energy to work? Besides, eating won't take up too much time. I think you should come with me to eat!"

  Zhang Yi silently shook his head.

  For JinweiTeng, even if he didn't eat lunch for a day, or even if he didn't eat for three days, he would be willing.

  Mao Xinxin shook his head helplessly and said: "In that case, I'll go eat first. After I finish eating, I'll come find you again."

  Zhang Yi watched as Mao Xinxin left, then turned and walked towards the next stall.

  The vital energy inside his body, following the cultivation route of "Hui Chun Jue", has been rapidly circulating and silently sensing the location of the surrounding spiritual energy. Due to his limited cultivation, after testing, he found that the range within which he could sense the spiritual energy was roughly within ten meters.

  He then looked for three more stalls, but still found nothing.

  When he walked to the fourth stall, his face suddenly turned to the neighboring stall, because he faintly felt that there was a spiritual energy on that stall.

  As he walked up to that stall, his eyes fell on the eight pink flowers, and Zhang Yi's heart suddenly felt a thrill of joy.

  Hibiscus flower.

  An excellent medicinal material for treating liver diseases, of extremely high value.

  Zhang Yi didn't know the specific value of this peony, but he also thought it was worth a lot of money. The price tag in front of the peonies on the stall read 128 yuan.

  He picked up the peony flowers and looked at the middle-aged stall owner, saying: "I'll take these eight flowers."

  "The middle-aged stall owner said: '128 yuan, pay and take it away.'"

  Zhang Yi took out his wallet and found that there were only 200 yuan left inside. He felt secretly relieved. After taking out the 200 yuan, Zhang Yi had the middle-aged stall owner make change, then put the eight peonies into a shopping bag.

  Then Zhang Yi turned and left.

  In his heart, the surprise was even more intense.

  At this moment, he finally thoroughly felt that his cultivation of the "Rejuvenation Technique" and the circulation of the vital fluid in his meridians was incredibly powerful.

  This is simply an invincible cheating device for picking up bargains!

  In a corner hundreds of meters away from Zhang Wei, Gu Xinyue was expressionless on the surface, but extremely satisfied in her heart. She had just found a rare medicinal material at one of the stalls, which had a market price of at least one million, and she had only spent two thousand yuan to get it.

  "Huh? Ink bamboo shoot?"

  Gu Xinyue stood in front of a stall at the corner of the wall, her eyes suddenly lit up.

  Her eyes scanned over the price tag in front of the inkstone and found that it only cost 650 yuan, and she was secretly delighted.

  "Boss, can this medicine be cheaper?"

  After Gu Xinyue took the ink stick in her hand, she looked at the stall owner calmly and asked.

  The owner of the stall was a young man in his early twenties, and when he saw Gu Xinyue come to his stall, he was filled with excitement. After all, he could have such a beautiful woman patronize him, and his eyes lit up.

  "Beautiful girl, considering how pretty you are, I won't charge you the extra fee. Take the six hundred yuan." The young man said with a smile all over his face.

  She took out six brand new hundred-yuan bills from her purse and handed them to the young vendor, then put the inkstone into a shopping bag and turned around to leave, leaving behind a slender back view.

  The young stall owner held six 100-yuan bills in his hand, his eyes filled with excitement, and he even lifted his hand to carefully kiss the 100-yuan bill, muttering to himself: "Money touched by a beauty, I must keep it as a treasure."

  In his mind's eye, it seemed that what he held in his hand was no longer a hundred-yuan bill, but the slender white jade-like hand of Gu Xinyue.

  Gu Xinyue, carrying a shopping bag, had a hint of a smile in her beautiful eyes as she scanned the stalls and soon spotted Zhang Yi standing still in front of one of them.

  "You're just a young punk, how dare you bet with me? I hope when the time comes, you'll lose miserably and won't cry about it."

  A cold smile floated onto her beautiful face, she withdrew her gaze and turned around to walk towards other stalls.

  She didn't notice that a hundred meters away from her, a young man with a toothpick in his mouth and a sullen expression was staring at her with ill intentions.

  Zhang Yi did not notice Gu Xin Yue secretly looking at him, nor did he know what Gu Xin Yue was thinking. At this moment, he was standing in front of a stall, smiling and haggling with the vendor.

  That's right!

  He relied on a nearly cheating method and discovered another medicinal material, which was over 100 years old. However, the owner didn't recognize its value, thinking it was only worth a decade or so, and set an extremely low price.

  "Boss, 800 yuan, if it's 800 yuan, I'll take this medicine," Zhang Yi said.

  The stall owner furrowed his brow, hesitated and shook his head, saying: "Young brother, you're cutting the price too much! The price tag clearly says 1600, but you're cutting it in half right away? I'll give you a discount of 100 yuan for 1500."

  Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Alright, I won't randomly haggle with you. One thousand yuan, if you're willing to sell, I'll pay the money and take the medicinal materials away. If not, then I'll go look elsewhere."

  The stall owner was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "One thousand yuan is really not for sale, I didn't even pay this price when I stocked up. If you really want to buy it, one thousand two hundred, this is the lowest price I can bear."

  "This..."

  Zhang Yi intentionally revealed a difficult expression, and it took him more than ten seconds to grit his teeth and say: "No problem, but I don't have cash now, let's just swipe the card!"

  "Alright! The handling fee is on me."

  After the transaction was completed, Zhang Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and did not go to other stalls, but instead walked towards the gate of the medicinal material market.

  He now has no cash in his wallet, so it's a bit of trouble when making small transactions. So he is going to go outside to find an ATM, withdraw some cash and buy something to eat at the same time.

  "Huh?"

  Just as he was about to arrive at the entrance of the medicinal materials market, Zhang Yi's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and his gaze fell on a young man who was biting a toothpick with an evil intent in his eyes.

  "This morning, I seemed to have run into him many times."

  His footsteps didn't stop, but he turned his head in the direction of the young man's gaze and looked into the distance.

  Ancient Heart Moon?

  Zhang Yi's heart moved slightly, and a thoughtful expression floated in his eyes.

  Really?!

  This young man has been staring at Gu Xinyue all along, with ulterior motives?

  He suppressed this idea and walked out of the gate of the medicine market.

  Half an hour later, Zhang Yi withdrew 20,000 yuan in cash from the ATM at a nearby bank. He then bought some food from a street vendor and returned to the medicine market once again.

  When he came back, he found that the place where he was originally standing had changed, but the young man with ulterior motives was still hiding in the distance, silently monitoring Gu Xin Yue.

  "It seems that it's necessary to remind Gu Xinyue, although that woman is really not likable." Zhang Yi let out a faint sigh and turned to walk towards the nearby stall.

  Silently following the cultivation route of "Hui Chun Jue", the vital energy liquid in the meridians was circulating, and that sense of perception also slowly extended outwards.

  A family stall, constantly searching and sensing.

  At last, Zhang Yi stopped in front of one of the stalls after half an hour.

  "Oh God! Is... is it Blood Lingzhi?"

  In his heart, a stormy wave was set off, and Zhang Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air.

  Reishi mushroom.

  The best medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, mainly treating blood diseases, and has great benefits for nourishing the five internal organs. He once heard his master Mo Wenhua say that now the Blood Lingzhi is almost extinct, even a piece of Blood Lingzhi as big as a fist is worth a fortune.

  Zhang Yi took a look at the price tag in front of the Lingzhi and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood eight feet away.

  "Five hundred ninety-nine? Is this stall owner blind?"

  Lightning-fast, he directly grabbed the Blood Spirit Mushroom in his hand. Zhang Yi quickly took out his wallet, counted out 600 yuan and handed it to the stall owner, saying: "I'll take this herb, here's the money."

  The stall owner looked at Zhang Yi with a strange expression, then smiled and said: "Little brother is really straightforward. Here, I'll give you a dollar back. Do you want to take another look at the other medicinal materials? If you buy any more, I'll give you a discount."

  Zhang Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, thank you."

  His eyes carefully examined the Blood Spirit Mushroom in his hand, and he was overjoyed.

  Just as he was about to put the Blood Spirit Mushroom into his shopping bag, an old voice sounded in front of Zhang Yi: "Young brother, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a Blood Spirit Mushroom? I'll give you 5 million, will you sell it to me?"
