Chapter 447: Sky-High Prices
The crowd squeezed at the doorway, including Jiang Yun, were forced to step aside and make way.
Immediately after, a group of people walked in from outside the door.
Leading them was a young gentleman in white clothes, holding a folding fan. He was handsome, elegant, and extraordinary.
Unfortunately, there was a hint of wickedness hidden deep in his eyes.
Clearly, he was a man of lustful desires.
This was evident from the five beautiful women following behind him.
However, what really surprised everyone was that the person beside them was actually Qian Jin!
And at this moment, Qian Jin, with his round chubby face, was smiling flatteringly. His already not very tall body, bent over, making him look a bit funny.
It’s easy to see that this young gentleman’s status must be extremely noble, and if Lin Ruitian from two days ago were placed next to him, he wouldn’t even be considered worth mentioning.
Although Jiang Yun didn’t know this person, there were already some people in the crowd murmuring.
"Is this the young son of the Yu family, Yu Cangwu?"
"Yu family? Which Yu family?"
"The Yu family from The Barbaric Southern Land, second only to the Daoist clan!"
"Heaven, it’s the Yu family that could become the Daoist clan? With his status, why would he come to this Hundred Family Bazaar? Whatever he wants, as soon as he asks, someone will bring it to him!"
"Who knows, maybe he’s out for a stroll and just happened to come to the Hundred Family Bazaar to see what’s going on!"
Amidst the chatter, Yu Cangwu and his friends entered the stone house with Qian Jin leading the way, heading towards the stairs.
Suddenly, Yu Cangwu stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at the crowd.
More accurately, he looked at Jiang Yun in the crowd!
Feeling the gaze, Jiang Yun’s heart skipped a beat.
Did the other person uncover his hidden true appearance?
With the Shape-shifting Art he displayed now, even a Tao Spiritual Realm cultivator wouldn’t be able to tell.
Yu Cangwu only had the strength of a Blessed Land Realm, could he really see through his use of the Shape-shifting Art?
Even if he could, changing one’s appearance was common among cultivators, so there was no need to stare at him so intently since they were strangers.
As Yu Cangwu looked at Jiang Yun, everyone’s eyes in the room naturally focused on Jiang Yun.
But nobody could see anything special about Jiang Yun, except that someone recognized him as the person who had just entered the stone house in Xiao Village.
Suddenly, Yu Cangwu pointed at Jiang Yun and asked, "What’s your name?"
Jiang Yun, who usually would ignore someone like Yu Cangwu because of his personality, had a purpose for being there this time. So, despite Yu Cangwu’s haughty tone, Jiang Yun touched his nose and replied with a fake name he had used before, saying, "Gu Jiang!"
"Gu Jiang!"
Yu Cangwu repeated the name, then glanced deeply at Jiang Yun before turning away, shaking his head, and muttering something under his breath.
Unfortunately, his voice was too quiet, and even Jiang Yun couldn’t hear what he said.
Qian Jin quickly approached with a smile and asked, "Young master, what’s wrong? Have you had a conflict with this person?"
The meaning behind this sentence was clear; if Yu Cangwu agreed, he would immediately order Jiang Yun to be captured.
However, Yu Cangwu shook his head and said, "It’s nothing. I thought I had met an old acquaintance, but I was mistaken!"
Everyone heard this and suddenly realized that Jiang Yun looked a bit like someone from Yu Cangwu’s past.
Since Qian Jin was not an enemy of Yu Cangwu’s, he naturally stopped talking about it and continued to lead Yu Cangwu warmly towards the stairs.
As Yu Cangwu and the others stepped onto the stairs and climbed to the second floor, the crowd on the first floor became lively again.
Even though Yu Cangwu’s appearance brought them a small surprise, since it had nothing to do with them, nobody paid any attention to it.
Of course, Jiang Yun was no longer the center of attention for the crowd.
After waiting quietly for a while, Jiang Yun suddenly cleared his throat and loudly asked, "Do you buy medicinal herbs here?"
As a shop, since they sell things, naturally they also buy things.
Moreover, when selling items, they usually sell them to corresponding shops, after all, they know their products. So, it is common for someone like Jiang Yun to come to the medicine shop to sell herbs.
By deliberately speaking so loudly, Jiang Yun naturally caught everyone’s attention once again.
In this building, the leader of the Qian family is a middle-aged man. When he heard Jiang Yun’s words, he couldn’t help but frown.
He didn’t want to pay attention, but with so many people watching, he had to. He showed a look of disdain on his face, slowly walked to Jiang Yun and said rudely, "Unless it’s a top-quality pill, we won’t buy it!"
As experts in making medicine, the Qian family never lacked pills and they didn’t care for ordinary ones.
Jiang Yun, unfazed by the man’s tone, took out the lowest quality Reaching-Sky Pill and said, "Take a look at this first!"
The middle-aged man didn’t reach out for the pill, instead he snorted and said, "Look? Nothing comes that easy!"
"For us to inspect the pill is like asking us to appraise it!"
"To evaluate a pill, it costs at least one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Show me the spiritual stones first before we talk about it!"
It’s worth mentioning that the Qian family is quite domineering. When someone comes to sell pills, they demand payment before offering their opinion.
Jiang Yun smirked coldly, didn’t say a word, and directly tossed one hundred spiritual stones in front of the man. "Can you take a look now?"
Even though the shiny stone was right in front of him, the middle-aged man shook his head again and said, "Didn’t you hear what I just said? I said at least!"
"Offering me one hundred low-value spirit stones can only afford the lowest-tier pharmacist from my Qian family, it’s not enough to make me take action."
"If you want me to identify the medicine, the price needs to be multiplied by ten, one thousand stones!"
Although Jiang Yun was not sure if the Qian family really had such a rule, it was clearly an intentional attempt to make things difficult, bullying others with power.
Jiang Yun’s special sense quickly scanned his storage tool, calculated that all the spirit stones inside added up, just enough to reach one thousand.
So he waved his sleeve again and threw the spirit stones to the middle-aged man, saying, "Is this enough?"
The man still didn’t look at the spirit stones, but he opened his hand and said, "Give it here!"
This time, it was Jiang Yun’s turn to refuse, playing with the Reaching-Sky Pill in his hand, and asked, "What if you don’t recognize this pill, or can’t tell if the medicine is good or bad?"
The middle-aged man calmly replied, "There are endless medicines in the world. Occasionally not being able to tell is normal. However, even if I can’t tell, the fee won’t be refunded!"
"Also, my family has very skilled pharmacists who can definitely tell if your medicine is good or bad!"
"Of course, if we ask for an even more skilled pharmacist, these one thousand spiritual stones won’t be enough!"
When this was said, the onlookers couldn’t bear to listen anymore.
This was simply a shameless sky-high price demand.
They couldn’t determine the quality of the medicine, yet they still wanted to charge a fee.
If the man could clearly see but pretended not to, or intentionally gave wrong information, Jiang Yun’s spiritual stones would be wasted for nothing.
However, Jiang Yun just laughed and said, "Alright, let’s see today if your family can tell if my pill is good or bad!"
With those words, Jiang Yun finally raised his hand and threw his lowest quality Reaching-Sky Pill at the middle-aged man.
