Luo Lanxier and Yu Baichou stood at the back of the crowd, watching the Taoist on the stage continue to call out the price. Some of the onlookers below were indeed tempted and kept responding.

"10 gold dishes and 40 silver rings!" shouted a strong man carrying a sledgehammer. His upper body was naked, and many scars could be seen on it.

"That's not generous enough, Master Chi. I'll give you 12 golden plates!" A thin old man next to him hunched over and raised his hand to indicate a number.

"You old man, you're already old, why are you still trying to rob me!" Perhaps because he had limited money, the strong man was a little angry and almost swung his hammer to hit him. Fortunately, the security in this market was good, and there was also the pressure of the local government, so he was able to restrain himself.

"Young man, you don't understand. You still have decades of your life to squander, and if I don't advance, I will die of old age. So just leave it to me." The old man shook his head and stroked his long beard as he said this.

As practitioners advance, their lifespan is indeed prolonged. The higher the level, the longer the lifespan. This is true for all transcendents in the East and West Continents. Otherwise, those Sequence Nine cultivators would not be regarded as pillars of the nation.

After hearing the old man's explanation, the others, who were initially a bit angry, hesitated to bargain. Firstly, they were afraid of getting a bad reputation and competing with the old man for his life. Secondly, the price was indeed a bit inflated.

The Gold Plate, also known as the Gold Plated Dragon Plate, was a highly valuable currency used during the Plantagenet Dynasty. Resembling a small, flattened bowl, it was embossed with a pattern of intertwined dragons and plantagenet flowers. Crafted exclusively by the Imperial Order Bureau, it imbued a trace of the dynasty's dragon veins, making it difficult to counterfeit and, therefore, highly valuable.

In addition to the gold dish, the next level of currency is the silver ring, the full name of which is the Xuan Chi Lao Silver Ring. It is shaped like a small ring, and there is a pattern of a Chi dragon entwined on the inside of the silver ring.

The lowest and most commonly used currency is the copper coin, which is in the shape of a regular octagon with patterns on both sides. One side has a pattern of eight mountains with a dragon in the middle, and the other side has the year of casting and the state in which it was made.

Due to the vast territory of the Plantagenet Dynasty and the numerous provinces and counties, not all copper dimes were minted by the central government of the dynasty. Most of them were minted by local provincial governments. However, it was also required that the name of the provincial government and the year must be printed on the back for easy supervision.

After seeing the old man buy a Ranzhiyunhuo Pill, the competition among the crowd below became more intense. There were two left, and they were finally sold for 13 gold plates and 15 gold plates respectively.

"Let's go, let's go. Looks like we have to wait until next time." A group of people shook their heads and slowly walked away, and the Taoist in green clothes also jumped down from the platform.

At this time, there were still a few people who had not left and continued to come forward to ask when the next batch of pills would be produced and sold.

"This is difficult. We have to go deep into the mountains to collect herbs and search for exotic animals. It may take several months before we can see any results."

After hearing this, these people became a little discouraged and dispersed, and the place became deserted for a while.

At this time, Yu Baichou walked up and asked.

"I just came back from the depths of Minze recently. I picked some herbs on the way. I wonder if Master needs them."

"Oh, let me take a look first." The Taoist with a small mustache suddenly became interested and stopped what he was doing.

"That's it. I don't recognize many of them, but many of them contain rich vitality." Yu Baichou opened the package he carried with him and spread it out on the wooden table, revealing various types of roots, stems, and leaves.

"Red apricot shepherd's purse, tide-resistant leaf, sky-green, seven-heart grass...these things are good, what a pity." He fiddled with these herbs and then sighed deeply.

"What a pity." Loran Hill walked forward curiously. At this moment, she was still wearing a gauze hat, making it difficult to see clearly.

The Taoist raised his head and glanced at them, then said in a pretentious tone, "It's a pity that these herbs were picked so crudely that many are damaged, and there's almost no way to preserve them, resulting in a significant loss of their medicinal properties and value."

"Is that so?" It seemed to make sense, and Loran Hill nodded.

"However, since it's still somewhat useful, I can accept it and use it as a supplement. But I'm afraid I can't offer you a high price. I'm really sorry."

"Then please name a price." Yu Baichou was not a person who was so entangled, so he asked casually.

"30 silver rings." He gestured.

"This... is too little." Although Yu Baichou didn't know much about the market, for a cultivator, 30 silver rings was indeed very low, and this was the result of his accumulation for several months.

"I can't do this either, because it's really not very useful, alas..." He shook his head and sighed again.

Yu Baichou couldn't help but hesitate at this time. If he sold it, he would feel like he was losing money. If he didn't sell it and kept it, its quality would only get worse over time.

"Then don't sell it." The girl next to him suddenly said.

Yu Baichou, who was originally a little hesitant, just rolled up the package after hearing this.

"That's right, I'll listen to you, young lady." This made the Taoist feel a little uncomfortable. In fact, he saw that several of the medicines were exactly what he needed. He just wanted to lower the price. If it didn't work, he could talk about it again. Who would have thought that the other party would be so straightforward and would not sell them immediately if he said so.

"Hey, hey, hey, my dear brother, could you please wait a moment? It's not that we can't talk, ahem. In fact, there are a few of them that are of good quality. I can buy them at a price higher than the market price." His expression suddenly became gentle and kind, and the speed at which his face changed was simply amazing.

"Hehe, that's fine, but you have to buy it at three times the market price." The girl said with a blink of an eye.
