The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

There were not many people in the pharmacy at this time, and there was only a man who looked like an apprentice sitting at the counter.

"Hello, are you collecting spiritual herbs?"

"Who?" The apprentice only heard the voice but could not see the person, and thought he had misheard. "No one? It seems that I heard it wrongly. I have been too tired these days. I must take a two-day break after I am done with my work."

Ming Huaixi was listening to the apprentice mumbling to himself under the counter in silence. When he heard that the apprentice doubted him without even looking down, he couldn't help but speak up, "Um, hello..."

"Ah!" The apprentice screamed and looked around, but didn't see anyone. When he thought there was a ghost, Ming Huaixi couldn't help but remind him.

"I'm here."

This time the apprentice heard the source of the sound clearly. He looked down and saw a girl in tattered clothes standing in front of the counter. Because she was too short, the apprentice could not see her at a glance. Thinking of his performance just now, the apprentice blushed.

"Ahem, little sister, what are you doing here?"

The apprentice's attitude was very good. He did not chase Ming Huaixi away just because he was small and not well dressed.

Ming Huaixi repeated what he just said, "Are you collecting spiritual medicine?"

"Yes." The apprentice answered nonchalantly, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and immediately became alert, "What? You said spiritual medicine? Little sister, are you wrong? There hasn't been any spiritual medicine in our area for several years."

Ming Huaixi looked at the apprentice who seemed a little unintelligent and suddenly felt that the elixir might not be sold. "It's an elixir. Do you want to buy it?"

"Can I take a look? If it's really a magical medicine, then I have to ask the shopkeeper. I can't make the decision on my own."

The apprentice didn't quite believe that Ming Huaixi had magical medicine, and he really couldn't make the decision. He could still make the decision to collect ordinary medicinal materials, but the owner of the magical medicine shop had the final say.

"Okay." Ming Huaixi said, then he took out the elixir from his clothes and handed it to the apprentice.

The apprentice looked at the herbs in his hand and was a little excited. "This is actually a first-level spiritual medicine, Moon Rock Grass." Then he looked at Ming Huaixi and said, "Please wait a moment. I will go to the back to call the shopkeeper."

Then he put down the elixir in his hand and ran to the back to find someone.

"What? There's a level one Moon Rock Grass? Where is it?!" A somewhat rough voice sounded.

Ming Huaixi glanced over and saw a burly man with a beard coming out from behind.

"Shopkeeper, this is the Moon Rock Grass of this little sister." The apprentice pointed at Ming Huaixi and explained to the shopkeeper.

"Well, no wonder the shopkeeper is not in front of the pharmacy. If he were to stand there, no one would dare to come to buy medicine or see a doctor." Ming Huaixi muttered to himself.

Hmm? The bearded man looked down and saw a little kid who was not even as tall as the counter. "Little sister, how do you want to sell this moon rock grass? Do you want silver or something?"

Although the bearded man looked a little fierce, he subconsciously lowered his voice when speaking to Ming Huaixi, as if he was afraid that he would scare Ming Huaixi.

"I want to exchange silver." Ming Huaixi was only short of money now, and on the way to that paradise, he would pass through only the mortal world. Exchanging some silver would be enough, and this small pharmacy might not have other silver.

When the shopkeeper heard what Ming Huaixi wanted, his voice became more serious. One should be serious when discussing business. "I won't cheat you. This Moon Rock Grass is rare. Even if it's only a first-grade spiritual medicine, it's very popular. I'll give you five hundred taels of silver. Is that okay with you?"

The effect of Moon Rock Grass on strengthening the appearance is remarkable. The first-grade Moon Rock Grass refined into a Strengthening Pill can keep a young woman's appearance unchanged for twenty years. This may not seem like a big deal to cultivators, as a mere twenty years will pass in the blink of an eye.

But in the mortal world, there is no woman who loves beauty and does not want a beauty pill that can keep one young for twenty years. A mortal's life is only a few decades long, and twenty years is equivalent to half of a lifetime.

Moreover, the Guyan Pill has another special feature. You will not suddenly age after twenty years when the effect of the drug wears off. It will only change little by little like a person naturally ages.

The mortal world borders the world of cultivation, and the mortal world also knows some things about the world of cultivation, such as some low-level spiritual medicines. Most doctors in the mortal world know something about them, but spiritual medicines in the mortal world are scarce. First-level spiritual medicines are as rare as hundred-year-old ginseng, and are generally not available.

"Five hundred taels." This was a little less than what Ming Huaixi had estimated. He had never expected that this bearded man, who looked so fierce, would lie to a child.

"I don't think five hundred taels is enough. Forget it. I'd better not sell it. It's better to let it rot than to be bought cheaply." Ming Huaixi took the Moon Rock Grass and turned to walk out the door.

The bearded man didn't expect that Ming Huaixi, this little girl, knew something about the market. Originally, seeing that the little girl was wearing tattered clothes, he thought that she had no knowledge in this area, so he wanted to give her less money to lower the price. He didn't expect that he was wrong.

"Wait a minute, little sister, don't go. I'll give you 700 taels. No more. If you give us more, our store won't be able to take it out. We have to ask for permission from the higher-ups. Do you think this price is acceptable?"

The bearded man hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Seven hundred taels?" This price is indeed reasonable in this small town. In fact, if it were sold in a larger city, this Moon Rock Grass could be sold for a thousand taels of silver.

Ming Huaixi thought about it and decided to sell it. There was only this one pharmacy in this town. If he didn't sell it to him, he would have to go to the pharmacy in the county. However, the county was quite far away and he couldn't get there before dark today, which was also troublesome.

So he nodded and said, "I can sell it to you for seven hundred taels."

The bearded man laughed and said, "Wait a moment, little sister. I'll go and prepare the silver." Then he went to the backyard to get the money.

When he came back, he had a few silver notes and some small change in his hand. "You are too young to take all the silver. I will give you some silver notes and 20 taels of small change. You can withdraw these silver notes from any bank in the mortal world. Do you think this is okay?"

The bearded man is quite attentive.

"No problem for me. I'll give you the Yueyan Grass." Ming Huaixi took the money and pushed the Yueyan Grass in front of the shopkeeper. The transaction was completed perfectly.

After selling Yueyancao Ming Huaixi took advantage of the fact that it was still light today and the clothing store was still closed. He thought that he only had one set of clothes and no changes of clothes, which seemed a bit shabby. Now that he had money, of course he would buy two sets of clothes as backup.

"Go away, kid, don't get your clothes dirty. Go play somewhere else."

The clerk in the clothing store saw that the child was wearing rags and didn't think that she would buy clothes. He was afraid that the child would dirty her clothes, so he wanted to drive her out.

Ming Huaixi didn't want to endure his anger here. There were more than one clothing stores in this town, so he turned around and left. He came to this store because it was quiet, and it turned out that there was a reason for its quietness.

There is another clothing store on the street. When Ming Huaixi passed by just now, there were still a few customers in the store. Now when he came back, there were two more customers.
