Chapter 50 Old Eunuch: Look at our radish, it's so big and thick, how much is it worth?
"We really didn't know!"
Chen Fan was also completely bewildered.
He had never read about things like spirit stones or marketplaces in the book!
"Alright..." Eunuch Wei explained with a bitter smile:
"The currencies commonly used by the seven kingdoms, including the Great Abyss Dynasty, are copper coins, gold, and silver, while the currencies used by immortal sects like the Changchun Sect are spirit stones!"
Spirit stones can be used to buy things in the market; they are necessities for cultivators. Without spirit stones, one would be unable to move an inch in the cultivation world. My family heard this from a cultivation master.
"I see," Chen Fan said with sudden realization.
"That market town is like a marketplace for ordinary people. Where is this place?"
"Yes, the market in Fangshi is no different from those markets on Zhengyang Street," Eunuch Wei chuckled.
"The only difference is that the two sell different things. The market of the Great Yuan Dynasty is located in the imperial city, and you need a specific code to enter... I've only been there once."
I had planned to exchange those three spiritual herbs for some spirit stones to keep on hand, but now... I'm afraid I won't need them!
A glint of light flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.
Only then did he learn of the existence of spirit stones in the market, as if he had opened up a new world.
Looking thoughtfully at Chen Fan, who seemed unsure how to join the Changchun Sect, he said:
"So, according to Eunuch Wei's suggestion... how many spirit stones can these radishes sell for?"
"It's hard to say," Eunuch Wei said, raising an eyebrow.
"The three spiritual herbs we collected... are worth at most one spirit stone... There are shops in the market that buy spiritual herbs, Eunuch Chen can go and ask about the price first."
"Okay," Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Then I'll trouble Eunuch Wei to tell me the code... I'll go check this place out when I have time..."
Eunuch Wei was also very forthcoming with his knowledge.
He dared not hide anything from this ruthless old eunuch.
After seeing the person off, he continued pulling up radishes...
……
Midnight.
In an alley at the southeast corner of Chang'an Street in the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Chen Fan, dressed in a black robe and bamboo hat, arrived here.
After confirming that no one was following him, he immediately knocked on the courtyard gate in front of him.
dong dong...
"Who is it! Staying up so late at night..."
"Seeing a doctor..."
Hearing someone inside ask a question, Chen Fan gave the coded message.
"What's wrong?" The door opened, and an old man with a mustache and of medium build came out.
"I have a headache from a cold and wanted to get some medicine," Chen Fan replied calmly, his face still covered.
"Come in." The old man nodded and then turned and went into the house.
Seeing this, Chen Fan, who was following behind, quickly caught up as well.
The two of them, one in front of the other, soon arrived at a wooden house in the courtyard.
"You must come out at 3:45 AM, otherwise... you'll never be able to come out again..." The old man stopped in front of the wooden house, a chilling smile on his face.
Chen Fan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and went into the wooden house.
It was pitch black inside; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Even with his amazing eyesight, he couldn't see what was going on inside!
"Just keep walking inside..."
Listen to the aged voice coming from outside the wooden house.
Chen Fan had no choice but to grit his teeth and move forward.
After walking for a short while, light began to appear ahead.
When he got closer to the light source, he discovered that it was a portal.
"Get out here quickly..."
Just then, an impatient voice rang out from outside the door.
Chen Fan's expression changed.
He glanced at the doorway, then stepped out.
Then, a bright light appeared before my eyes, and I arrived at a "fangshi" that was not much different from the market on Chang'an Avenue!
The market was bustling with people, various "vendors" were setting up stalls and hawking their wares, and there were also many shops of all kinds.
Chen Fan only glanced at it before sensing several experts at the Innate Realm.
These people all had indifferent expressions and were wandering around the market with their heads down.
Besides those at the Innate Realm, there are also many Acquired Realm experts here.
Some of the vendors may look ordinary, but they are all experts at the Acquired Realm.
Feeling terrified, Chen Fan swallowed hard, thinking that the outside world was too dangerous.
With his limited strength, he'd probably be crushed to death in a heartbeat!
With his thoughts churning, Chen Fan cautiously walked forward.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to look back one last time.
They discovered that the doorway they had just mentioned was empty.
And there were four characters written on the door.
The Great Abyss Dynasty!
Chen Fan, not understanding what this meant, was too lazy to think about it further.
As he began his journey towards the market, he subconsciously searched for shops where he could exchange spirit stones.
According to what Eunuch Wei said.
The market town is a mixed bag, a place where shallow waters breed many scoundrels.
Perhaps someone you randomly encounter is a noble person from a certain dynasty or sect.
So people who come here generally don't cause trouble; they buy what they need and then leave.
Chen Fan also had this idea in mind as he wandered through the market.
It is faintly visible.
The vendors in the market sold all sorts of strange and unusual things.
There were vendors selling bones, meat, weapons, and armor.
There were even people who sold women.
"Which furnace do you desire, sir? These women are all well-trained and at your disposal. They're inexpensive; half a spiritual herb can buy one!"
Chen Fan glanced at these ordinary women who had no cultivation but possessed hot figures and beautiful faces, and felt no emotion whatsoever.
funny!
What does an old eunuch like him need a woman for?
Under the stall owner's questioning gaze, Chen Fan turned and left without looking back!
"Strange...this guy has been staring at them for so long, why isn't he selling? Could he be a pauper?"
The stall owner was also taken aback. He looked back at the women behind him and then returned to his seat.
Take a stroll around the market.
Chen Fan finally found the place he was looking for.
Baicaotang.
According to Eunuch Wei, this place is the only shop where you can exchange elixirs for spirit stones.
Other shops either refuse to accept it or simply can't afford it.
Only Baicaotang is known in the market for its honesty and integrity, treating everyone, young and old, fairly and honestly!
"What would you like to order?"
Chen Fan entered the room.
An elderly man, about fifty years old, walked over with a smile.
He only glanced at it before realizing that the old man was a powerful expert at the Innate Realm!
"Hmm... I'll exchange some spirit stones."
Chen Fan originally intended to continue talking about "our family," but after thinking about it, he changed it to "me."
After all, when you're out in the world, your status and image are determined by yourself.
"To exchange for spirit stones, you need to offer something of equal value, and secondly, you need to leave your name. Do you understand?" The old man smiled and patiently explained!
"Okay." Chen Fan didn't waste any words and directly took out a fresh white radish from his pocket.
"This is..." When the old man saw the radish, his eyes were immediately glued to it:
"May I... touch it?"
"Please go ahead." Chen Fan was generous and handed it over casually.
The old man picked up the radish, examined it carefully, and exclaimed in astonishment:
"An ordinary radish actually contains spiritual energy... This quality... This medicinal effect is comparable to a 500-year-old ginseng!"
Five-hundred-year-old ginseng?
It seems that this radish is more valuable than Chen Fan thought.
"May I ask, sir, where did this radish come from? I'm taking the liberty of asking." The old man's face was flushed with excitement!
"How many spirit stones is it worth if it was dug up from a ravine in the mountains? Give me a price!" Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed.
