Chapter 1779 Banned
In another shop, a graceful woman received Chen Luo.
When she heard Chen Luo say she wanted the Water and Fire Pill, the woman also showed a look like the middle-aged shopkeeper before, informing Chen Luo Luo Shu and Fire Pill that it had been sold out.
Although Chen Luo was confused, he didn't ask any more questions and turned around and left the store.
However, he asked thirteen shops in a row, but the results were exactly the same. All of them were sold out and they could not buy a single one.
After coming to the 16th shop, Chen Luo looked at an old man coming towards him and asked directly:
"Shopkeeper, you won't have water and fire pills in your store, right?"
The old man's slightly hunched body stopped, then smiled a little and said, "We still have some inventory in Baozhaitang, but we can't sell it to the customer."
Chen Luo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
"What does the shopkeeper mean? He clearly has goods, but he refuses to sell it. Why doesn't he do business if he has business?" Chen Luo asked.
"The guest official saw that he had come from afar, but he didn't know? Recently, the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea suddenly sent an envoy to Dahe, and bought all the water and fire pills on the ten islands of Dahe, and ordered that the water and fire pills should not be sold to outsiders in the near future." The old man hesitated and said to Chen Luo...
Upon hearing this, Chen Luo frowned. He just bought the Shuihuoming Pill by himself, but he still didn't allow the store to sell it privately to others. Isn't this a bit too domineering?
"Why is the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea like this?" Chen Luo said in confusion.
"Well... we don't know, it may be related to the strange phenomena that have appeared in the valley recently." The old man shook his head meaningfully and said.
Seeing this, Chen Luo gently stroked his palm on the counter, and several immortal jades appeared under his palm.
"Shopkeeper, I am indeed not a person here. I am a newcomer and I don't know much about some situations. I hope I can help you give me some advice." Chen Luo said with a smile.
When the old man saw the fairy jade, his eyes immediately shone. He reached out and said, "That's right, that's right, there's some news, and there's no point in giving advice. I just hope to help the distinguished guests."
"I'll ask the shopkeeper to tell me." Chen Luo said in a hurry to move his hand away.
"This... Although this Dagu is a beautiful place in the South China Sea, there are not many products except for the Water and Fire Pill and the Black Jade Coral. Therefore, the South China Sea Dragon Palace has never looked down on this place and has little interference. However, for some reason, a large number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals gathered in the South China Sea Dragon Palace. While collecting the Water and Fire Pill, the Dagu temporarily sealed the Dagu and did not allow others to enter. According to rumors, there may be some treasure below." The old man paused slightly and said.
After listening to Chen Luo, his palm moved back quietly, gave up two immortal jades, and still pressed against the few behind, and continued to ask:
"What happened to the big valley vision that the shopkeeper mentioned earlier?"
The old man first put away the two immortal jades, and then put them in the bag to make a living and smiled and said with a smile on his face:
"This guest official should have seen that there has never been a dark cloud over the Ten Islands of Dagu in the past. At least I have been here for nearly a hundred years, never seen it, and never heard of it. But a few days ago, dark clouds suddenly gathered here, and there was no wind or rain. Only in the early morning every day, there would be a few thunder sounds, which was very punctual, which was very strange."
After listening to this, Chen Luo was a little disappointed, but he still let go of his hand and gave the remaining few immortal jades to the old man.
"It can be seen that the guest official is a generous nobleman. As long as the guest official promises not to leak the news, he is willing to secretly sell the remaining water and fire pills to the distinguished guest." After happily put it away, a little hesitation flashed in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke in a low voice.
"Take it seriously?" Chen Luo said happily as soon as he heard this.
"How dare you deceive? It's just that things are rare and expensive. Now the price of this water and fire pill is not low. I wonder how many guests want to buy?" the old man asked with a smile.
"I don't know what the price is?" Chen Luo asked.
The old man raised three fingers and shook them, "A three hundred immortal jades."
When Chen Luo heard this price, he was stunned at first, and then he estimated that he needed 100 pieces, and a total of about 30,000 immortal jades was not a problem for him.
The old man saw Chen Luo pondering and thinking that he thought the price was too high, so he explained: "Customer, I didn't mean to falsely report the high price. It's because this thing is now stocked with fewer prices, and the price has increased several times. I really didn't want it."
Chen Luo heard this and came back to his senses, feeling speechless.
The price of this Water and Fire Pill is actually much lower than he expected. He thought that what Fairy Yu Lin could ask him to find must be something worth no less than the nine-petal Earth-Central Fire Lotus.
"Since the market price is like this, it's okay. I need a hundred water and fire pills here, and I hope the shopkeeper will prepare it for me." Chen Luo said.
"What? One hundred?" The old man's voice couldn't help but raise his voice a little.
"Why...is there any difficulties?" Chen Luo asked in confusion.
"Aren't you kidding me? The annual production of Water and Fire Pills on the Thousand Islands of Dahe Island is less than 80. Why does the guest ask for 100? Even if the South China Sea Dragon Palace is not acquired, you have to make an appointment at least two years in advance to get enough." The old shopkeeper explained after confirming that Shen Luo was not a joke.
"The yield of this water and fire pill is so low?" Chen Luo was also very surprised.
"The guest officials don't know that this water and fire pill is a crystal formed in the abdomen of the water ghouls in the valley that are difficult to digest and difficult to digest. It often takes several years to form and discharge it out of the body. Because when discharged, their abdomen will be whirled like thunder, so it is named Water and Fire pill. Because it lives deep in the valley and is extremely timid, the water and fire pills are mostly in hidden places that are extremely difficult to find. It is not so easy for the pearl pickers to find it, so the yield is extremely low." The old man continued to explain.
"So that's it..." Chen Luo said slowly.
"So, you may have a waste of time this time. One hundred water and fire pills are difficult to collect." The old shopkeeper also shook his head.
"I want all the more stores there." Chen Luo thought about it and said.
"We have only three of them now. If the guest wants them, I will get them for you." The old man said.
"I'm working hard." Chen Luo clasped his fists.
The old man turned around, but did not take it on the shelf, but walked into the inner room, and after a while he walked out with a purple wood box.
He came to the counter and opened the lid of the box, revealing three round crystals the size of watermelon seeds. The inside was red like fire, and the outer layer was covered with a layer of ice-like transparent crystals, which really lived up to the name of water and fire.
Seeing that there was no problem with Shen Luo, he paid the fairy jade and put it away.
The old shopkeeper held a bag of bulging fairy jade, counted happily, and then put it away closely.
After Chen Luo said goodbye, he planned to go to other stores and try his luck.
