A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 89 The Drug Dealer

The thought of making a lot of money with this secret manual made Wu Cheng very happy to agree to Lu Dongxuan's request.

Lu Dongxuan actually came over and washed Wu Cheng's feet.

Despite Wu Cheng's previous arrogant demeanor and fierce bossy attitude towards Lu Dongxuan, he panicked when Lu Dongxuan actually came over to wash his feet and hurriedly said, "Step back, I can do it myself."

Guo Sidi chuckled from the side: "I say, my apprentice, everyone says that there's no such thing as someone who can't endure hardship, and there's no such thing as someone who can't enjoy happiness. It seems that's really true. You'd better work on this aspect."

The second brother chimed in, "Eldest brother, you're not as good as me in this respect."

Wu Cheng put on his shoes and came over to pull the second brother: "Come here, try it on, I'll lend you her."

The second child quickly waved his hand: "No, I'm very loyal, okay?"

While everyone was chatting and laughing, Lu Dongyang quietly slipped away. Now that Lu Dongxuan had rebelled against the Lu family and exposed their secrets, if he stayed any longer, he would be just waiting to be killed.

In fact, Wu Cheng and the others had noticed Lu Dongyang long ago. However, even if he left to go back and report, Wu Cheng was not worried at all. He had Guo Sidi as his backer, so why should he care about a mere martial artist?

After leaving the Jin Kou Teahouse, Wu Cheng and his group returned to the medicine market. This time, instead of browsing other stalls, they were led by Guo Si Di directly to the gambling drug bureau.

The gambling den for medicine was Wu Cheng's real purpose in coming to the medicine market. He had been itching to try it ever since he first heard Lao Er talk about it, and he was determined to see it for himself during his visit to the medicine market.

The gambling dens are the real attraction of the pharmacy. It is said that many people bring their own money to gamble on the drugs. If they win, they can win a villa by the sea. Of course, many more people gamble until they are bankrupt and jump off a rooftop.

However, Wu Cheng was not in a hurry. With the medicine-hunting rat Jerry around, it was like having someone by his side. As long as Jerry reacted to something, he could just buy it.

The gambling den was a large tent, like one set up by a rural circus for a temporary performance.

However, once inside, Wu Cheng discovered that the level of luxury inside exceeded his expectations.

The ground was covered with carpets made entirely of the cashmere from the chests of golden sheep. This cashmere from the chests of the golden sheep is the warmest part, and there is very little of it. To weave such a large carpet, it must have taken the cashmere from countless golden sheep.

The tables and chairs inside the tent were made of the finest Brahma Redwood. Although Brahma Redwood is not as precious as that produced domestically in Jiuyuan, and is mostly used for building temples, it takes a lot of effort to carve out the wood to make furniture.

Wu Cheng was itching to take some furniture into the cat house, but unfortunately there were too many people there, and it seemed like countless eyes were watching anyone at any moment.

Inside this large tent, there was a huge platform with mud balls on it.

These mud balls come in all shapes and sizes, with the largest measuring a meter in diameter and the smallest about the size of an egg.

These mud balls are placed on the table, and you can't tell what's inside from the outside.

Wu Cheng was a little puzzled. How exactly did this gambling den operate? Could there be some precious medicinal herbs hidden among these mud balls?

At this moment, a dwarf jumped onto the huge platform, passed through the mud balls of all sizes, and came to the largest mud ball in the middle. This largest mud ball was more than a meter tall, taller than the dwarf.

The dwarf patted the mud egg with his short hands, and holding a microphone, he introduced, "Distinguished guests and friends, the drug gambling session is about to begin. Here, I, the little elf, will introduce the rules of this drug gambling session to you."

"If you're a new friend, you might not know what these mud balls on the gambling drug platform in this gambling drug den are. We call them drug balls."

"It's a medicinal egg, not a yam egg. How did this medicinal egg come about? According to the most famous doctor in the medicine world, Master Duan Sisheng, it was formed when the Nine Origin Star fell. The precious medicine that had become powerful sealed itself with soil to protect itself."

"After these precious medicines have become powerful, they seal themselves off, and their medicinal aura does not dissipate. Moreover, it continues to grow stronger with the years, which is why we now have gambling drug bureaus."

"Based on the precious medicines that have been prescribed so far, we believe that the value of the precious medicines in this medicine egg can be distinguished by different parts of the medicinal materials. The root is the most common, followed by the fruit, then the stem, then the leaf, then the bud, and finally the flower."

"Shortly after the fall of the Nine Plains Star, the Medicine Collection appeared, followed by the Betting Medicine Bureau. Over the years, roots, fruits, and stems have been extracted from the medicine eggs. As for leaves, there was one record of them, but buds and flowers are only legendary and have never been seen."

"The One-Finger Divine Doctor once said that if someone were to sprout a seed, no matter what kind of seed it was, he would be willing to buy it for 20,000 large yellow croakers, and if someone were to sprout a seed, he would be willing to buy it for 50,000 large yellow croakers."

The audience below couldn't help but sigh.

Large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, they're all gold bars.

One large yellow croaker weighs ten taels, which is equivalent to ten small yellow croakers.

According to the current gold price in Jiuyuan Kingdom, one large yellow croaker is worth about 100,000, and 20,000 large yellow croakers would be worth 2 billion.

Fifty thousand large yellow croakers would be worth five billion. If that were converted into gold, it would be five hundred thousand taels. In ancient times, one jin was sixteen taels, which is equivalent to thirty thousand jin, or fifteen tons.

Fifteen tons—that's enough to build a golden house. The ancients said there are golden houses in books, but that's probably an exaggeration. Even if Emperor Wu of Han built a golden house for his beloved Chen Ajiao, it was only decorated with gold, not actually made of pure gold.

But while everyone sighed, no one had any unrealistic fantasies. Even if it just produced a tuber, let alone a flower, they would consider it a huge profit.

The little elf continued, "To participate in this drug gambling game, each person needs to pay a registration fee of ten small yellow croakers. After registering, you can choose one drug egg with a diameter of less than ten centimeters. The remaining drug eggs will be sold at double the price for each additional ten centimeters in diameter."

"Everyone can take their medicine eggs with them, or they can open them now in the medicine gambling room. During the process of opening the medicine eggs, we will set up betting odds, just like lottery tickets or gambling games, where you can bet on whether what comes out of the medicine egg is a root, fruit, stem, leaf, bud, or flower."

Everyone came to the drug gambling den for the purpose of gambling on drugs. There are only two forms of gambling on drugs: one is to buy drug eggs, and the other is to gamble on drug eggs. So after the dwarf elf finished speaking, everyone started to take out their money and prepare to enter the game.
