Start the game with a gift of natural power

Recently, hunting patrols near Xiaolong Mountain have been much stricter than in the past. Just for personnel verification, if it is your first time and there is no recommendation from an acquaintance, you must stay in the quarantine area until your identity is verified before you are allowed to enter or leave the stronghold.

However, since Lin Mo and the others have three martial arts leaders of the highest level taking the lead, there is no need for such trouble.

It’s just a matter of actually counting the number of people and it’s considered a pass.

When they returned to Xiaolong Mountain, the group did not immediately disperse the crowd. Instead, they were released after a specialized pharmacist checked their physical condition.

Before leaving, Sun Xinglie also mentioned the arrangement of packing up his things tonight and returning to Ningyang tomorrow.

This suddenly made most people feel relieved.

In this world where communication is extremely underdeveloped, for ordinary people, a trip outside the home is likely to mean the difference between life and death.

Just like the dozen or so people who died on the spot due to an ambush by the Universalist Cult when they first set out, how could their families think of them?

If they really can't survive, not many people are willing to travel far in troubled times.

After knowing that they were leaving tomorrow, most people chose to take advantage of the last moment to go to the mountain market to buy some rare mountain products. After all, the same thing might be four or five times the price back in Ningyang.

Of course, most of the things I bought were limited to mountain animal spirit meat strips and some herbs to assist cultivation.

These raw materials that have not undergone preliminary processing may not be of much use to ordinary people, but in the eyes of the Wang and Xu apprentices, they are of great value.

After all, most people can process it at home.

In fact, if the cost of entering and exiting Dalong Mountain is not too high, you can still make a lot of money just by reselling mountain products and goods back and forth, and doing some speculation.

When Lin Mo heard this, he was slightly moved.

Now his research on Xu's Medicine Classic is at the stage of integrating theory and practice. He can still take advantage of Xu Chengyuan's convenience in Xiaolongshan, but when he returns, he will have to rely on himself.

So I went straight to the mountain market, intending to purchase some supplies, and the scope was limited to ordinary medicinal herbs.

After all, mountain beast meat strips started from Silver Bear Valley, and he never lacked them again.

When walking on the street, he mainly purchases from small stalls. After all, compared to grocery stores, although there is an extra screening process, the price is indeed much cheaper.

The mountain market is not big either. I simply had a meal at a tofu shop, turned two corners, and then entered a grocery street.

There are about a dozen stalls on both sides of the street, and all kinds of herbs and minerals are placed on them.

There were quite a few people looking for goods at this time. In the crowd, Lin Mo even saw a few apprentices from the Xu family and the Wang family asking for prices.

Lin Mo didn't go to say hello, but went straight to a stall that looked at a rich variety of herbal medicines.

The stall owner is a weathered old man with a lot of experience. He is holding a tiger-head knife in his hand and leaning half against the wall.

Judging from its appearance, it should be considered an old stall, with quite a lot of people stopping by.

Lin Mo knelt down and took a look. There were indeed many kinds.

Of course, the main business is low- and mid-level medicinal materials, but the most precious medicinal materials are not displayed.

But it was enough for him.

After some thought, he decided to come up with a prescription for the medicine he had been researching recently, and began to fill the prescription.

The herbs on the stall looked pretty good, which saved him some effort.

The stall owner was also an old man with a good eye for tricks. When he saw Lin Mo's attitude, he could tell that he was a customer who really wanted to buy, so he stepped forward and introduced him.

"My little brother is really mighty. From the looks of it, this is the first time he has come to me to select people. They are all from the world and speak more openly. I can use my shoulders and head as a guarantee for all these things. None of them are fake.

If you really are there, you can take me away from the mountain and solve the problem as you please."

Lin Mo glanced at the old man who was smiling with most of his yellow teeth exposed, and nodded noncommittally.

I scanned all the needed medicinal materials on the stall and found that some were missing, so I couldn't help but say:

"Do you have any blue root? I also need silver star grass."

"Avalanche root? Silver beard grass?" The old man was stunned. These two medicinal materials are relatively rare and relatively popular products.

In other words, there is no need to worry about selling.

For this reason, the purchasing prices of some large grocery stores are very high, and the profit from selling at stalls is not high. Generally, herbal collectors try to save trouble and directly sell them to herbal medicine merchants. Most stalls have no inventory.

However, he looked at the number of herbs in Lin Mo's hand medicine Lou, totaled it up, and finally said:

"To be honest, there is none, but if you really want it and the quantity is not small, I can give it to you at nearby stalls. Of course, the price is not much cheaper than in a grocery store."

He said calmly.

Lin Mo nodded, accepting it.

Now he is researching two medicinal powders:

One is Bingqing powder, which is used to calm the mind, consolidate the essence and nourish the mind;

The first is Xiaoqudu Powder, which is a universal antidote that can specifically suppress and destroy most common poisons on the market.

It just so happens that the blue root and silver beard grass are the two king medicines respectively.

The old man has indeed been around this street for many years and has a decent reputation.

I saw him going around a few stalls, and finally stopped for a moment with a strong man with a black face, and then came back with a smile and two baskets of medicinal materials.

Lin Mo checked the quality of the medicinal materials and found that they were all average and suitable for picking and storage. He asked about the price and compared it. It was indeed more than 20% cheaper than the price in the grocery store, so he settled the bill together.

.

"How do you calculate the price of this thing?"

When paying the bill, Lin Mo took out a finger-thick, five-inch long smoked meat strip from his backpack and handed it to the old man and asked.

The old man was stunned. He picked up the towel from his hand and wiped his hands. He took it carefully, took out a small carving knife, lightly chopped some minced meat, dipped his finger in it, and put it in his mouth.

"This should be bear meat. It tastes quite good and the smoking technique is good..."

The next moment, his expression changed drastically. Looking at Lin Mo's burly body, he quickly lowered his head, his tone became a little weaker, and he said with a flattering smile:

"Uncle, your kind is really rare. If you really want to count the money, I can't even afford it.

Just treat it like a small one and take advantage of it, two pieces of dried meat, you can take them all."

Lin Mo's brows raised slightly. Although he knew that high-grade animal meat was considered an absolute hard currency in Xiaolong Mountain, he did not expect it to be so valuable.

The medicinal materials he purchased were not just one or two. In terms of the amount of Qingxin Powder and Xiao Qudu Powder alone, there were enough to prepare them, let alone others.

It seems that Xu Chengyuan really didn't take advantage of him.

After silently labeling him as a "big rich man", Lin Mo checked out, took the goods and left.

After seeing Lin Mo disappear, the old man at the stall breathed a sigh of relief, held back the joy in his heart, and carefully packed the meat strips.

At this time, a dark-faced strong man suddenly appeared next to him. He looked at the old man with a puzzled face and joked:

"You old boy just made that gesture, did you meet someone you can't mess with again?"

He is testing.

The old man gave the dark-faced strong man a white look, remembering the fluctuations in his body's energy and blood when he tasted the minced meat, and angrily put the money for medicinal materials from his purse into the strong man's hand:

"Don't be stupid, kid, he is a master."

The strong man was stunned and subconsciously asked: "How tall?"

The old man recalled the taste in his mouth earlier, looked up at the Zui Laixiang Restaurant on the next street, and pointed.

"Taller than those two floors."

The strong man was dumbfounded and didn't understand why.

However, the old man stopped talking to the strong man and continued to hold the knife, half leaning against the wall, watching the people passing by on the street.

If you are not far away, you can occasionally hear its cries:

"This little brother is really powerful. From the looks of it, this is the first time he has come to me to select talents. They are all from the world and speak more openly..."
