C1498 He Was Treated as a Fat Sheep
The two of them left the pill shop and came to Tidal City's largest market, in Tidal City, because of the existence of the Tidal Chamber of Commerce, most of the markets were abandoned. It was just like the market that Ye Hong Tian had been to before, and the market they were currently in had developed under the pressure of the Tidal Chamber of Commerce. There were all kinds of transactions inside, and there were countless precious natural treasures. The scale was even greater than the market in White City.
"This is what people often say about growing up in adversity. In a situation like Tidal City where Tidal Chamber of Commerce is completely dominating... It can actually develop to such a degree. I hope I can find what I want here. " Ye Hong Tian looked around and murmured.
Yu Xiao, who was beside him, nodded in agreement. They walked very fast. Although there were many people on the streets, they were like a fish in a sea of people, quickly entering the depths of the market.
The deeper they went into the market, the fewer pedestrians and martial artists that set up stalls. The martial artists that set up stalls around them stopped shouting. They all held the attitude that it didn't matter if there were people coming or not.
"How many Origin Crystals are these medicinal herbs?" Ye Hong Tian pointed at a stalk of ginseng in front of a stall that sold large amounts of medicinal herbs and asked the stall owner.
However, the stall owner did not answer him. He laid on a reclining chair and closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.
Ye Hong Tian frowned slightly upon seeing this. He turned around and instructed Yu Xiao behind him to go to other stalls to buy medicinal herbs while he himself sat cross-legged in front of the stall in front of him.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Hong Tian sat cross-legged in front of the stall and cultivated. The stall owner on the reclining chair opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Ye Hong Tian. Then, he stretched and sat up.
He took out a fruit from his Cosmos Sack and asked Ye Hongtian, "Young man, what do you want to buy?"
Ye Hongtian, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw that the stall owner had woken up, he immediately stood up and bowed to the stall owner.
"I want to buy this ginseng. Senior, please tell me the price." Ye Hong Tian pointed at the ginseng on the ground and said.
The stall owner followed the direction Ye Hongtian was pointing at and looked at the ginseng on the ground. He picked up the ginseng and weighed it a few times before saying, "I sell things. Usually, I don't tell you the price. But I see that you're not old, so I'll give you a price. Two hundred middle-grade essence crystals!"
After announcing this price, the stall owner seemed to feel that Ye Hongtian did not know what this kind of ginseng was. He was also prepared to explain the use of this ginseng for Ye Hong Tian, but before he opened his mouth, Ye Hong Tian already placed a bag containing two hundred middle-grade essence crystals on the stall.
Using 200 pieces of middle-grade essence crystals to buy a stalk of ginseng without even blinking. This made the stall owner subconsciously feel that Ye Hong Tian's identity was not simple. Without saying much to Ye Hong Tian, he picked up the bag on the ground. He opened it and counted the middle-grade essence crystals inside. Then, he handed the ginseng in his hand to Ye Hong Tian.
Ye Hongtian received the ginseng and put it into the Heaven and Earth Pouch. His face was filled with joy. After bowing to the stall owner once again, he left to look for Yu Xiao.
Ye Hong Tian had just left when this stall owner took out a sound transmitting talisman from the Heaven and Earth Pouch. He stared at Ye Hong Tian's back as he left and said to the sound transmitting talisman, "A fat sheep seems to have come today. A thousand-year-old ginseng used 200 middle-grade essence crystals to buy it without any hesitation. Be more alert. If possible, we'll ruthlessly slaughter him."
This sound transmitting talisman lit up after this stall owner finished speaking. For a time, in this market, many stall owners lit up the light of sound transmitting talismans in front of them.
At this time, Ye Hong Tian was still searching for the things he needed, but he didn't know that some people had already set their eyes on him like a fat sheep. When he passed by a stall that sold heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he bought another precious jade and immediately used up another 500 middle-grade essence crystals.
"Sigh, the Dingxi here is really more expensive than the other. It hasn't even been long since I went shopping for 700 middle-grade essence crystals and it's already gone. But the harvest is still alright." Ye Hong Tian put the precious jade that he just bought into the Heaven and Earth Pouch and said softly.
When he raised his head, he just happened to see Yu Xiao haggling with the stall owner in front of a stall. He hurriedly walked over with large strides.
Just as he walked behind Yu Xiao, he saw Yu Xiao buy a stalk of relatively precious medicinal herb with 40 middle-grade essence crystals. This made Ye Hongtian unable to help but widen his eyes.
"Glowing Sparks! 40 middle-grade essence crystals to buy it? Don't you use your strength to threaten the stall owner?" Ye Hong Tian asked in disbelief.
Hearing Ye Hong Tian's question, Yu Xiao turned around and rolled his eyes. He passed the Phosphorous Sparks in his hand to Ye Hong Tian and replied, "Cutting the price is one of the essential skills of an alchemist. Spend a low price to buy medicinal herbs. Isn't it very normal to sell the medicinal ingredients at a high price after refining the medicinal pill? "
After saying that, Yu Xiao seemed to have seen something he wanted. His eyes flashed as he pushed Ye Hong Tian away and immediately rushed to another stall.
Seeing Yu Xiao like this, the corner of Ye Hong Tian's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He looked at the stall where Yu Xiao bought the phosphorous fire and found that the stall owner was looking at him with interest.
"That... Do you know me?" Ye Hong Tian asked in puzzlement.
Although he was very famous in Tidal City, very few people had seen him before. This market was very far from the Holy Pill Hall, so there shouldn't be anyone here who could recognize him.
However, even if Ye Hong Tian was recognized, he wouldn't mind. If the Tidal Chamber of Commerce really wanted to kill him with all their might, they would have sent a high-level Awakened Realm martial artist over long ago. From this, it could be seen that... Di Yan was the only one who wanted to kill him now. Hence, he did not need to worry about his identity being exposed.
"I'm sorry, I don't know your identity. However, the first time I saw you, I felt that you looked very familiar, perhaps this was fate. I got a saint-level martial skill in a secret realm, but I couldn't figure it out. I've always wanted to find a fated person to sell this martial skill. I think you might be the fated person I've been looking for. "
As the stall owner spoke, he took out a worn-out book from his Cosmos Sack. This book contained a very dense aura of the Earth Law, and it felt like the Earth Law released by the book itself.
Ye Hong Tian stared at the book in the stall owner's hand and then narrowed his eyes slightly. He sneered in his heart, A worn-out book with a few pages of paper containing the Law of Earth is a saint-level martial skill, and it only sells fated people. Heh, looks like someone in this market has already set their eyes on me like a fat sheep."1
Thinking of this, Ye Hongtian said to the stall owner with an awkward smile, "I didn't expect to see a saint-level martial skill in this market. Sigh. If I had known earlier, I would have brought more crystals with me. Now, I definitely don't have enough crystals with me to buy this saint-level martial skill."
