The old tree behind the mountain is an ordinary plant, so it has grown for sixty-two years.

Qinglu grass is a low-level medicinal herb with very little spiritual energy, so after growing for five years, one-third of the spiritual energy in the body is consumed. According to this inference, it can grow for fifteen years.

Dragon fruit is a higher-level herb than Qinglu grass, so only a seedling grew.

Tangning sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed and introduced the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine and replenish the spiritual energy consumed in her body.

Three days later, the dragon fruit tree grew to two feet high. Tang Ning left the bamboo house, set up the purple gourd and headed towards Laogu Peak. Today was the day when Wu Tatong opened a shop to sell medicine.

Laogufeng was as busy as ever, with people coming and going. A wide variety of "goods" were placed in front of each stall, and Tang Ning walked straight to Wu Datong's stall.

At this moment, five or six men were talking about buying and selling in front of Wu Datong's stall. Tangning waited for his stall to be empty and then quietly approached.

"Junior Brother Tang, long time no see. Congratulations! I finally broke through the third level bottleneck. What a joy to congratulate me. How many Qi Condensing Pills are needed this time are all freshly baked." Wu Datong greeted warmly.

"I want two bottles of Qi Condensing Pills, but I don't have spirit stones with me. Do you think I can exchange these herbs for them?" Tang Ning took out the herbs she bought from Chang Jian.

Wu Datong hesitated for a while: "This... Junior Brother Tang, you are really making things difficult for me. I am just doing a small business to earn some spiritual stones. I don't understand the market prices of your medicinal herbs at all!"

Tang Ning glanced around and saw no one around her and whispered, "Senior Brother Wu, actually I'm not here today to buy elixirs, but I have a big deal to discuss with you."

Seeing his serious look, Wu Datong couldn't help lowering his voice and asked: "Big deal? What big deal?"

"It's not convenient to go into details here, but Senior Brother Wu, could you please take a moment to speak."

"Okay then!" Wu Datong followed Tang Ning forward without much hesitation.

The two came to a cliff, and there was nothing all around. Only the lone eagle was circling and screaming in the sky. Tangning stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the steep mountains below, the mountain wind making her clothes whistle.

"If there is something that is the cheapest among various departments and departments in various academies, the Herbal Medicine Department is ranked second, and no department dares to say it is the first. Take the Qi Condensation Pill, for example, there are four spiritual stones on the market, and our sect

Even if they are sold privately, there are four spiritual stones each, and what about the medicinal herbs!"

Tang Ning took out the dragon fruit and bumped it in her hand. Most of the fruit was red, with only a small piece of it green. This was because it was not fully ripe.

"It takes ten years for a dragon fruit seed to grow into a tree. It blooms ten years after it blooms. It bears fruit ten years after it blooms. It matures ten years after it bears fruit. A tree can grow up to thirty fruits. As a foundation-building elixir, it is the most important and important

An irreplaceable main medicine is sold on the market for one hundred spirit stones, but the disciples of the Alchemy Department within the sect privately purchase it for only twenty spirit stones. Senior Brother Wu, don't you think this is too much?

"

Wu Datong was confused: "Junior Brother Tang, what do you mean?"

"Let's cooperate. I have made an agreement with the other senior brothers in the Herbal Medicine Department. You are a disciple of the Hushan Department. All the disciples in the sect who want to go out to perform tasks must make notes with you. Which disciple will leave the sect when?

The clearest thing is that we will give the herbs to you, and you will give them to the disciples who have left the sect and let them sell them outside. We will get 60% of the profit. You manage the staff and get 20%. The disciples who work harder will get 20%. How about

?”

Wu Datong was silent for a long time after listening: "The risk is very high. If you sell it privately to fellow disciples, the sect will turn a blind eye and not take care of it. But if you sell it privately to outsiders, there is no guarantee that the higher ups will not hold you accountable."

Tang Ning smiled and said: "How can there be no risk in doing business? The nature of private sales is the same as that of private sales. Senior Brother Wu, I think you are a man of honor and promise, so I came to you. Please tell me if you are willing to cooperate."

, It’s okay if you don’t want to, I just hope you don’t reveal it, I believe there will be many people in the security department who are interested in this.”

"I want to think about it. In three days, we will meet here and I will give you an answer."

"Okay, I'll come back in three days to say goodbye." Tang Ning took to the sky on her purple gold gourd.

Watching his retreating figure, Wu Datong fell into deep thought.

Tang Ning returned to the bamboo house. He had this idea after learning the actual price of medicinal herbs from Mu Pingbo that day. After all, he had stayed in the caravan for so many years and often imported horses from the Wu Kingdom to the Chu Kingdom for sale. The trade of goods

Very sensitive.

He believed that he was not the first disciple to think of using this method to earn spiritual stones. There must have been disciples who went out to use this method to earn the price difference, but they were all small-scale personal troubles, seeking small profits, and did not form a large scale. And he wanted to

What we do is to create a stable herbal sales channel.

As for whether he would be held accountable, never mind! The most he could do was to be kicked out of the sect, or would he risk his life? It was just right to kick him out of the sect, and he was worried about not being able to get out! After leaving the sect, he relied on the green energy in his body

You can use your spiritual power as you wish, and most importantly, you can find yourself, Ruru, after leaving the sect.

He had great confidence in convincing them about the Herbal Medicine Department, so he was not in a hurry to discuss the matter with them. He would rather wait for news from Wu Datong first.

The reason why he roped in everyone from the Herbal Medicine Department was to protect his green spiritual power, otherwise there would be so many herbs for Wu Datong to sell.

Wu Datong was the partner he decided on after thinking for a long time. There were three main factors in finding him.

First, he is a disciple of Hushan Branch, so he can know who is leaving the sect, and he needs to contact the disciples who are leaving the sect.

Second, he is greedy for money, so he will not refuse this matter.

Third, he has ability. Isn't it enough that a Hushanke disciple can obtain and sell various elixirs for a long time to demonstrate his ability?

Tang Ning's prediction was not bad. It was only two days later, but before the three-day appointment, Wu Datong took the initiative to find him.

At that time, Tang Ning was catalyzing the dragon fruit tree, and Wu Datong called his name outside the bamboo house, which shocked him to a loss and hurried out of the bamboo house.

Wu Datong looked at the lush herb garden under the valley and asked, "When will it start?"

Tangning smiled: "In half a year, I will deliver the first batch of goods to you."

"Okay, I also need some time to prepare. See you at the cliff of Laogu Peak in three months."

"Senior Brother Wu, I don't want to share this with the public. Only you and I know about this matter. The Herbal Medicine Department doesn't know that you are shipping the goods, and you also hope to keep it a secret for me."

"I know, after all, it is a risky business. Of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better."

The two chatted for some more time before Wu Datong said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he gave Tangning two bottles of Qi Condensing Pills to show his sincerity.

Tang Ning returned to the bamboo house and continued to catalyze the dragon fruit tree to defeat Wu Datong. He was not in a hurry to discuss with everyone in the herb garden. There was still half a year before the delivery date. It would not be a good thing to expose the plan prematurely.

In the days that followed, Tang Ning did not leave the bamboo house. She was catalyzing the dragon fruit tree every day. When her spiritual energy was exhausted, she took a Qi Condensing Pill. After replenishing it, she continued to catalyze, watching the dragon fruit tree grow taller and branchier.

It sprouts leaves one by one until it grows stamens, slowly blooms, and then forms small green and round fruits. The fruits grow up day by day, losing their green skin and turning into red mature pitayas.

Tang Ning was so excited when she looked at the red and sparkling dragon fruit on the tree, as if she were looking at her own child. After nearly five months of catalysis, the dragon fruit tree finally blossomed and matured, with a total of thirty fruits, no more and no less.

Tangning carefully picked the fruits one by one and put them into the storage bag.

The dragon fruit tree was not very tall, only about five feet tall. Tang Ning stroked its branches and leaves and sighed. She made seals with her hands and used a golden spear technique to cut down the fruit tree. Then she used a fireball technique to burn the fruit tree to ashes.

.

Even if the corpse is destroyed, the dragon fruit tree only bears fruit once in its life, so there is no use keeping it.

There were still five days before the half-year period. Tangning finished picking the dragon fruit, destroyed the dragon fruit tree and left the bamboo house. He drove the purple gold gourd towards Qingluan Peak. The first person he wanted to deal with was Chang Jian.

Because his herb garden is the most valuable.

Standing outside the herb garden that was restricted and isolated by the formation, Tang Ning issued a yellow talisman and entered. Soon the blue light curtain melted to create a gap. When he walked in, the gap closed again, and the herb garden came into view.

Chang Jian was watering and fertilizing the herb garden, and Tang Ning was waiting beside him. About an hour later, after finishing his work, he came to Tang Ning and said in a loud voice, "Junior Brother Tang, you are here again."

"Senior Brother Chang, I am here to discuss a deal with you."

"Business? What kind of business are you looking for me? At most I just sell some medicinal herbs privately."

"Senior Brother Chang, you have been in the Herbal Medicine Department for so many years and you know the value of medicinal herbs, but you are bought at a low price by those evil-hearted disciples of the Medicinal Medicine Department. Why should our medicinal herbs, elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, etc. be sold cheaply?

Whatever they have sold to us at a low price, they are already making huge profits, and they are here to exploit us. Junior brother, I have found a way. From now on, I will pay twice as much as the people in the Alchemy Department to buy your medicinal herbs.

How about giving the number of herbs to Bu Keli and giving me the rest?"

Chang Jian frowned and asked, "Who are you selling to?"

"I have a fellow countryman who is a good friend who went to the mountain to practice in the same group as me. He reported his work at Xuande Hall. He had a way to bring the medicinal herbs outside to sell. I gave the medicinal herbs to him, and he found someone else to sell them privately outside the sect. I

If he gets 50% of the profit, he gets 30%, and the person who sells it gets 20%.”

"If senior brother feels it's inappropriate, let's change the cooperation method. You get 40%, he gets 30%, and the person selling it gets 20%. Junior brother, I will be the middleman to earn errands, and I can only take 10%."

Chang Jian frowned for a while and said, "If we do this, will the sect be held accountable?"

"Is there any difference between selling privately to outsiders and selling privately to the disciples of the elixir department? Does the sect allow us to sell herbal medicine privately to the disciples of the elixir department? Senior brother, you and I both know that the sect will not care about this. It

Just take its share."

"If you are worried about being held accountable by the sect, we will follow the first method of cooperation. You can just sell it to me at double the price. You will not know anything else and will not participate in it. When the time comes for the superiors to hold you accountable, you can just push it to me.
