Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 164 Money Can't Buy You Anything
Entering Qibao Mall, Tang San and Xiao Wu were immediately stunned by the scene before them.

There are too many people here!

The last time they came to Qibao Mall, the flow of people was not small, but it was only 40% of today's.

"Third brother, look, these people are queuing up at the Dugu pharmacy." Xiao Wu said, pointing to the shops on the second floor.

Tang San felt anxious.

If there really was some magical herb mixed into the medicinal materials and bought by other people, what would that matter?

"Xiao Wu, you go line up first, I'll go take a look." Tang San arranged.

After going up to the second floor and finding an excellent position, Tang San opened his Purple Demon Eye and looked into the store.

The shop is divided into two parts. One part is no different from an ordinary medicine shop, and the decoration is not luxurious. The other part is decorated magnificently, with a plaque with five gold-plated characters "Dugu's Medicine Shop" hanging on it.

In the corner of the plaque, there is the name of Dugu Bo.

Not long after, Tang San saw a face that disgusted him—Prince Xuexing.

As soon as the other party appeared, the guards he brought immediately dispersed the crowd around him and left him alone to walk into the store.

Dugu Bo was not in the pharmacy, but Dugu Yan was there. She snorted and said, "Your Highness, are you trying to ruin the place?"

"Niece Dugu, you misunderstood." Prince Xuexing hurriedly smiled and said, "I am here to wish the pharmacy a prosperous opening."

As he spoke, his guards carried a few boxes into the pharmacy.

The box contained some medicinal herbs and some gold soul coins.

"This is a small gift from the king. I hope that my niece Dugu will accept it. I will visit Mr. Dugu in person someday."

Tang San didn't pay attention to what they said afterwards.

Because of the appearance of Prince Xuexing, the team had been dispersed.

Tang San pulled Xiao Wu and squeezed to the front of the crowd. When they lined up again, they could enter the medicine shop earlier.

Everyone else's attention was drawn to Prince Xuexing, and they didn't notice someone cutting in line.

……

About an incense stick later, Tang San and Xiao Wu successfully entered the store.

This place with simple decoration sells some mid- and low-level medicinal materials, which are affordable for ordinary people.

On the other side are all high-level medicinal herbs, and each one is sold for more than three hundred gold soul coins.

"The quality of these medicinal herbs is so good." Tang San was stunned.

Even though he was familiar with medicinal herbs, he was still shocked by the quality of these herbs.

Dugu Yan noticed him, but since he was a guest, she had no reason to chase him away, so she arranged for a shopping guide to go and receive him.

"Sir, what kind of medicinal herbs do you need? Apart from those on the counter, we sell almost all the medicinal herbs you can name here. However, the quota for some medicinal herbs this month has been used up. If you want to buy them, you can only pay a deposit in advance and pick up the goods next month." The shopping guide said politely.

Tang San didn't rush to speak, but glanced around the containers.

If possible, he even wanted to pack all these medicinal herbs.

It’s a pity that his personal financial resources are insufficient, and he cannot spend the borrowed gold soul coins at will.

Below the shop sign, there was a medicinal herb framed in a colored glass box. Tang San pointed at it and asked, "How much is the medicinal herb in that colored glass box worth?"

The salesperson said apologetically, "Sorry, sir, this is the treasure of the store personally selected by His Majesty Dugu, and it is not for sale to the public."

In the glass box, there is a perfect quality second-class fairy grass.

The grade of this herb is vaguely close to the category of immortal grass, and its quality is much higher than the sub-immortal grass that Tang San had obtained in the Thunder Canyon before.

Next, no matter how Tang San begged, the salesperson refused to give in. In desperation, Tang San checked the list of pre-sale herbs. The only herb he liked was already sold out, and it was only pre-sold every six months. Right now, even if Tang San paid the deposit, it would take two years to get the herbs.

"Don't you have any other stock? I can raise the price!" Tang San said with a dark face.

The shopping guide looked at his performance and couldn't help but admire Dugu Bo in her heart, "Your Majesty Dugu's sales strategy is still good. People are eager to get it. Wait two years and it won't be this price anymore."

After paying the deposit, you will only have the priority to buy the medicine when it is available. However, the value of the medicine is still determined by market fluctuations.

After a long argument, Tang San finally failed to buy what he wanted. Instead, Xiao Wu took a fancy to a high-level medicinal herb with a hidden aura.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the herb she bought was originally growing near the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

Nourished by the spiritual energy of the king of magical herbs, the ability of this herb to conceal its breath has been greatly enhanced.

This medicinal herb is not limited in quantity and can be purchased for 500 gold soul coins.

……

Leaving Qibao Mall, Xiao Wu waved her fist angrily, "It's really infuriating. They won't sell it even though I paid for it!"

It was also the first time that Tang San realized that money couldn’t buy anything.

Of course, he also seemed to understand that only when something cannot be bought can it be cherished more. At the same time, it is also convenient for the store to raise the price.

"Forget it, Xiao Wu, we have already absorbed the immortal grass once, so one more won't make a difference." Tang San comforted himself.

"I think this Dugu Bo is a profiteer. He's even more cunning than the dean! It's obvious that he wants to cheat us out of our money." Xiao Wu cursed a few times.

Tang San's view is not so one-sided.

High-grade medicinal materials are in limited supply, but ordinary people cannot afford them, and only nobles will fight for them.

There is unlimited supply of low- and medium-level medicinal materials, and the prices are not high.

He finally realized that Dugu Bo did not take advantage of ordinary people, but only took advantage of the nobles.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Tiandou Auction House building.

Tang San thought for a moment and decided to sell four types of mechanical hidden weapons.

These four hidden weapons all have safety devices inside, and if an outsider takes them apart, the hidden weapons will be damaged. In addition, the arrows loaded are disposable, and there is no way to refill them after they are used up.

In this way, the outflow of hidden weapons can be prevented to a great extent.

Just like in the original time and space, Tang San and Xiao Wu successfully entered the auction house by auctioning items.

On the white mat, I saw Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

All four of his hidden weapons were eventually taken by Ning Fengzhi.

"There's something strange about that girl." Chen Xin said with a frown.

The perception of a level 97 Titled Douluo was extremely sharp. He sensed a hint of unusual aura from Xiao Wu.

"Uncle Jian, did you see it wrong?" Ning Fengzhi asked subconsciously.

During the auction just now, Xiao Wu had already revealed that this hidden weapon was being consigned by them.

Ning Fengzhi admired Tang San's talent. Although he didn't know his identity, he had already begun to want to win him over.

Chen Xin couldn't explain it clearly. "Her aura doesn't seem like that of a normal person. She should have a treasure that can conceal her aura. I can't sense her details."

Chen Xin had never seen a real transformed soul beast, and there was no object to block its aura, so he was unable to describe in detail the strangeness of Xiao Wu.

"If you can't figure it out, forget it. This item is exquisitely crafted. Send it back to Rongrong. Also, send someone to find out their identities."
