The two guards around the woman were furious. "How dare you be so arrogant in our City Lord's Mansion? If you don't behave yourself, we'll chop you up and make you into fertilizer."

"Fertilizer? Are you doing this?" Si Yanzhuo's dark eyes darkened, and he raised his hand slightly, and the two of them flew out of the window with screams.

"Are you two here to discuss business or to kill people?" The woman glanced at the guards who flew out, but she didn't seem to be very angry.

Yun Suyue admired her calmness. Knowing that such things happened frequently, he pulled out the cloth bag hidden in his cloak and took out an ordinary herb that had never been grown before. He showed it to the woman and asked, "I wonder how much this herb of mine is worth here?"

"Let me see?" The woman became excited. As the auctioneer of the City Lord's Mansion, she had seen many good herbs, but never anything like this.

It’s so strange, there are stars on the roots...black soil?

Black soil?

I haven't heard of any black soil in the four countries?

Yun Suyue pretended not to notice that the woman had discovered the black soil, and asked her, "Master, what do you think? How much is one plant worth?"

The woman didn't answer Yun Suyue's question. Instead, she pointed at the bag and asked, "Are all the herbs like this in there? Are there many varieties? We'll give you the highest price and we'll take them all. One thousand taels per plant."

Yun Suyue looked at the woman gloomily, with a forced smile, "The price of the plant at the auction just now was 10,000 taels, but you only gave me 1,000 taels. Since the boss doesn't want to do this business, then goodbye."

Si Yanzhuo took the initiative to hold Yun Suyue's hand and turned around and left decisively.

The woman then realized that Yun Suyue had been to the underground auction house, and she stopped Yun Suyue and Si Yanzhuo, "Since we know the auction price, let's open the window and talk it out.

The quality of your herbs is the best I've ever seen. We at the City Lord's Mansion are most interested in good things. Money is not a problem. Just name your price and we'll take them all, the more the better."

Yun Suyue smiled and curled her lips. "Are you sure the more the better? Let me name my own price?"

The woman nodded affirmatively. "I'm sure, but whether to give it or not is my decision."

"it is good."

Yun Suyue didn't say anything more and held up two fingers. "Eight thousand taels per plant, a total of one thousand plants."

"boom!"

"How many?"

The woman stood up shakily, holding onto the table. "One thousand plants?"

Si Yanzhuo couldn't help but laugh secretly. Look how scared the woman was. One thousand plants was still not enough. When they rested on the road, she helped A Yue pick several batches of herbs.

Yun Suyue nodded, "You heard right, it's one thousand plants. If you are sure you want them, you can get them in one stick of incense.

Of course, I don't want you to exchange all of it for cash. I have a list here. The items on it can be used to offset the silver, and the rest can be converted into cash for me."

Yun Suyue symbolically reached into his sleeve and took out a folded list and handed it to the woman. In addition to the inlay materials for making jewelry, the rest of the list included a few rare medicinal herbs such as red golden ginseng and the horn of the ice dragon elephant.

After looking at it, the woman said truthfully, "We do have the Ice Dragon Elephant's horn, but I've never heard of the Red Alchemy Golden Ginseng. The remaining ones were sold out last time."

Yun Suyue and Si Yanzhuo looked at each other: We came to the right place, there are elephant horns here.

He nodded quickly, "Then give me what you have, or if you have anything else, give me the list and I can pick some out myself."

"I was just about to say, come here, serve tea." The woman quickly opened her cabinet, took out a booklet and handed it to Yun Suyue.

Then, he said to Yun Suyue, "You two can drink tea while you slowly pick. One thousand herbs is a huge business. I must report it to the city lord."

"It makes sense. Please do as you wish." Yun Suyue glanced at the woman's expression and nodded.

The woman walked out.

Yun Suyue flipped through the pages one by one, writing down the names of the items.

When the woman returned, she brought an old man with her. She explained as soon as she entered, "Please don't worry, I'm just a half-baked pharmacist. This is the City Lord's pharmacist. Herbs need to be identified by the pharmacist before the price can be determined."

"That's reasonable. Please come in." Yun Suyue pointed at the cloth bag on the table, signaling the old pharmacist that he could start.

Before coming in, the pharmacist didn't believe it. He had been growing medicinal herbs all his life and considered himself experienced. How could a young man be better at growing herbs than him?

But with just one glance, he determined the quality of the herbs:

"I've never seen this before. Young man, can you tell me how you grow this herb?"

Yun Suyue lowered her voice and said, "I'm sorry, old doctor, I didn't grow these herbs. I was being chased and fell into a mountain stream, and it was a blessing in disguise that I got them.

I heard the prices here were high, so I came all the way here and nearly died on the way."

At the end, Yun Suyue didn't forget to play the victim.

Seeing Yun Suyue's honest eyes when she spoke, without any evasion, the old doctor half-believed and half-doubted, "That's right. Herbs that grow this fast can only grow in special spaces. Ordinary people can't grow them no matter how capable they are."

When the woman heard that it was a deal, she started to bargain with Yun Suyue. But how could she be Yun Suyue's opponent? After bargaining for a long time, not only did the price remain unchanged, but the prices of the things Yun Suyue had chosen were actually reduced by half by Yun Suyue.

Compared to Yun Suyue, the woman felt that she had wasted all these years and was just a waste.

"A young man is so fussy and stingy. Who will marry you in the future?" After the transaction was completed, the woman angrily scolded Yun Suyue.

Yun Suyue looked the woman up and down with disdain and said with a smile, "Don't worry about that. Anyway, an old woman like you will never have the chance to marry this young master even in your dreams."

"You?" The woman was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, and it looked even more turbulent from a distance. However, Yun Suyue looked down at her "hidden tablet" and was amazed.

"Really? I can't even hide it. What's the point of growing up like this?"

"That's because I have a good figure." The woman thought Yun Suyue was talking about her, so she stomped her feet and yelled.

Actually, it’s nothing.

But the woman had no choice but to do as Yun Suyue said and wait for her in the cold wind at the door of the City Lord's Mansion with the remaining half of the gold.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Si Yanzhuo took Yun Suyue and flew up. In the blink of an eye, they got rid of the City Lord's Mansion's secret guards. When they reached a deserted place, they immediately slipped into space, and then the two laughed.

They didn't come out for even a minute longer until the time for the transaction came. Yun Suyue and Si Yanzhuo then slowly walked to the door of the City Lord's Mansion and exchanged the remaining herbs for silver.

As soon as the silver was in hand, the woman's face changed immediately, "Kill them for me."

Yun Suyue understood, "The so-called City Lord's Mansion also engages in this syndicated scheme.

Think carefully, if you don't take action, your City Lord's Mansion may still exist, but if you take action, it will be gone."

The woman seemed like a different person, laughing wildly, "Hahaha, from the moment you walked into this trap, there's no chance of you escaping alive."

Yun Suyue, with her eyes shining, replied to the woman, "Alright, to tell you the truth, from the moment you started plotting to rob me, all the treasures in the City Lord's Mansion are mine."
