C108 Buying

Zuo Feng could feel the changes in his body, and the joy in his eyes could be seen clearly. Although the replenishment of his spiritual energy was not as much as he had imagined, it still signified that he had stepped into the level of a beginner alchemist.

The door that had not been opened for four days slowly opened, and Zuo Feng walked out. At this moment, he was covered in filth, but he was extremely excited. He raised his head and looked at the sky. The setting sun's light shone on the spacious courtyard. Zuo Feng raised his head and looked at the sky. After muttering to himself for a while, he walked towards the water vat in the courtyard.

Now, he finally understood the purpose of the water vat in the yard, but Zuo Feng didn't care at all and just plunged into it.

He cleaned himself up and changed into a set of clean and tidy clothes. He put on the large black cloak that he had prepared earlier, and the large hat on the cloak covered his face completely. Zuo Feng then pushed open the door to the yard in satisfaction and walked onto the main street.

After determining the direction, Zuo Feng quickly headed to the main street. Although he could get to the main street by passing through the new shop in his yard, Zuo Feng didn't want the villagers to see him dressed like this, so he took a detour instead.

Zuo Feng had calculated the time. Some of the larger shops had not closed yet, so they should still be able to buy the things he wanted. At this time, Yan City had just entered its busiest time of the night. The streets were crowded with people, so no one paid any attention to his strange dressing.

Very soon, Zuo Feng arrived at the "Heavenly Arts Alchemy Shop". As it wasn't his first time here, he didn't waste any more words as he directly walked to the medicine shop's counter.

It was still the white-haired old man from before. When the old man saw Zuo Feng's strange appearance, he was stunned for a moment before he unconcernedly asked, "This friend here is interested in the medicinal formula?"

Zuo Feng also felt that this was very interesting. It seemed that they had seen many guests who didn't want to reveal their identities. He then lowered his voice and said, "The Body Tempering Powder's prescription."

The old man was slightly surprised. This "Body Tempering Powder" was one of the more difficult beginner medicinal powders to refine. Its effect was to help body strengthening martial artists to achieve a better body tempering effect. With such a good effect, the medicinal powder and prescription were naturally much more expensive.

The old man stared at Zuo Feng for a moment. He knew all the alchemists in Yan City, but he didn't know this person. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "This Body Tempering Powder recipe is priced at five hundred gold coins, but if you bring the finished Body Tempering Powder over, I will definitely buy it at a high price."

Zuo Feng was completely unmoved by the old man's suggestion. Currently, he was no longer lacking in money like before. Furthermore, he wanted to refine 'Body Tempering Powder' in order to increase the strength of Zuo Hou and the others. Thus, An Ran would naturally not choose to sell it to this old man in front of him.

Zuo Feng understood the old man's intention after thinking for a while. For medicinal powder like "Body Tempering Powder", the success rate for beginner pharmacists was very low, and high ranked pharmacists disdained spending their energy on it. Naturally, it would be considered as a close call.

Practicing alchemy required a lot of time, and most people were not willing to dabble in it. After all, his life was short, and most of him still hoped to devote his time and energy to cultivation.

After a short pause, Zuo Feng said, "That depends on my skill level, but I will think about it."

Hearing Zuo Feng's words, the old man smiled and nodded his head. Then, he took out a small book from the counter. Zuo Feng didn't accept it but continued, "Prepare half a catty of each of the herbs on this recipe for me."

"Half a kilogram?" The old man was so shocked by Zuo Feng's words that his mouth gaped wide open as he repeated loudly in disbelief.

"What?" Is there a problem? "

"No …" The old man said in embarrassment. At the same time, he felt that he had lost his composure. If it wasn't for Zuo Feng buying the prescription, he even suspected that this mysterious person was prepared to hoard large amounts of medicinal ingredients to raise the price.

Zuo Feng didn't seem to care at all and continued to report the names of the herbs. He emphasized on the last part and said, "Every one of them is half a catty too."

This time, almost after Zuo Feng finished speaking, the old man took in a deep breath and said quickly, "You, are you sure what you said just now is half a pound each?"

This time, Zuo Feng didn't waste any more words and only lightly nodded his head. The old man looked at the thin figure under the large cloak. His eyes lit up as if he was trying to see through the old man's face, but in the end, he still couldn't find any clues.

After a long time, the old man seemed to remember something and said, "My friend, we do have all of the ingredients you mentioned, and we can barely make up the amount you requested. I wonder how you are going to pay so much money?"

The old man's words were completely within Zuo Feng's expectations. He was empty-handed, and it did not seem like he could take out several thousand gold coins at once. Zuo Feng didn't say anything and just silently reached into his pocket, revealing a green small card. Seeing this small card, the astonishment on the old man's face deepened.

Although he had worked here for decades, he had only seen the "Money Storage Card" a few times. After he saw the card, he immediately turned his head and shouted, "Head storekeeper, there is a friend here who needs to trade with the card."

"Hmm?"

The voice of a woman could be heard from the back of the room as a beautiful woman walked out. His looks were indeed extraordinary, but Zuo Feng only glanced at him briefly before lowering his head again.

The girl didn't see Zuo Feng's face clearly, but she had a faint feeling that the person wearing a black robe before the counter shouldn't be that old. She slowly walked to the counter, and the old man immediately bowed and retreated to the side.

"Friend, I wonder if you can lend me your gold coin storage card."

Zuo Feng did not say anything, but handed over the gold coin token in his hand. At the same time that the woman received the card, she also paid attention to her opponent's palm. Her hand, which was as white as a baby's skin, confirmed her suspicions. After a moment of silence, she turned her attention back to the card in her hand.

When she saw the flame picture on it and the words engraved on it, she said to herself in astonishment, "It's actually the card for storing money from the Sun Ascension City. It seems like this friend doesn't know that this card is not directly traded."

Zuo Feng's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that using the money deposit card would be quite troublesome. Luckily, he did not reveal his real appearance, otherwise, there would probably be a lot of trouble in the future. Thinking about this, Zuo Feng sighed and said: "I don't have much gold coins with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy the things I wanted before."

The beautiful middle-aged woman laughed and said, "My friend, you misunderstand. These gold coins are all exchanged by the various empires, and only they are allowed to trade. However, we are in contact with all the gold exchange offices in Yan City. As long as you are seated for a moment, I will send someone to invite them over. "

Hearing her words, Zuo Feng felt slightly relieved, but at the same time, he was worried that there were other ways to save money that he didn't know about. If this card was only meant for a specific person, then it would bring about new trouble.

After a slight hesitation, Zuo Feng opened his mouth and said, "This card belongs to my family, I just..."

The woman laughed lightly. Before Zuo Feng could finish his sentence, she interrupted him and said, "You can rest assured that this is only an ordinary money storage card. You can use it even without me."

Hearing her words, Zuo Feng was finally at ease. Although that woman was also suspicious, after all, a power with a gold coin was one that they did not dare to provoke. Thus, she spoke carefully and did her best to satisfy that person.

"Then why don't you come with me to the VIP lounge for a cup of tea? We'll send someone to invite the exchange office's people over."

Zuo Feng nodded and followed the girl to an extremely luxurious room. A pretty servant girl immediately offered him some tea, but Zuo Feng had never taken a sip from the beginning.

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a leather robe appeared in front of Zuo Feng. This person was quite straightforward and didn't care about how Zuo Feng got the card. Instead, he quickly took out something that looked like a stone box. Judging from the material, it was extremely similar to the one in Zuo Feng's hand.

The middle-aged man casually placed the money storage token into a hole in the stone box. Then, he started to circulate his spirit energy, and soon, there were spots of light flashing on the surface of the stone box. This was also the first time Zuo Feng used his money storage card, so he quietly observed.

The red light dots on the stone box lit up one by one. When there were no more light dots, Zuo Feng noticed that there were six red and eight yellow dots on the stone box. The middle-aged man shot him a glance and then said, "This plate of yours contains sixty-eight thousand gold coins. If you want to use it once, you have to withdraw at least one thousand gold coins."

Zuo Feng was not surprised by the middle-aged man's words. The stone box only had two dots of light, so it was impossible to take any more.

"How much do the things I want total?"

Zuo Feng unhurriedly turned his head and asked the woman at the side.

"Body Tempering Powder's medicinal formula is five hundred gold coins. As for the other medicinal ingredients, thirteen hundred gold coins, a total of eighteen hundred gold coins." "If you withdraw two thousand gold coins in one go, we will return the other two hundred gold coins to you."

After Zuo Feng heard this, he pondered for a moment, then said, "Then if I want to take out 3000 gold coins, can you also give me 1200 gold coins?"

The woman was surprised for a moment, but then she smiled and said, "If you only need 1200 gold coins, we can take it out from the alchemy shop."

"Manager Li, since you have the gold coins, then hurry up and trade. I don't have the time to argue with you."

When the woman heard what the middle-aged man said, she fiercely glared at the rough looking man, but she still quickly nodded her head. Zuo Feng laughed secretly in his heart. The woman clearly had other intentions, but they were all messed up by this man.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to be displeased with the woman and continued to pour spiritual energy into the stone box. Soon after, three spots of yellow light were extinguished, and only six red and five yellow lights remained.

After the middle-aged man finished this, he casually took out Zuo Feng's card and casually threw it back to Zuo Feng. He then took out three pieces of jade and placed them on the table. Then, he turned around and walked out of the room.

"I don't have time today, let's go to the Gold Exchange office tomorrow."

When the rough man reached the door, he left without looking back.
