Chapter 368 (4000) Pei Yuan Realm Fourth Level

Snake gall?!
After these two words were spoken, everyone present fell silent, especially Uncle Xu, who stared blankly at the huge snake gallbladder for a long time before tears came down...

"My brothers who went with me to collect herbs all died in the mouth of this beast... I never thought that I, an old man, would be able to wait until this beast dies in my lifetime!"

Uncle Xu was reminiscing about the past with a lot of emotion. Lu Youcai and Fatty Chen on the side looked at Luo Jun with awe in their eyes. Even Master Tong Qi looked at Luo Jun as if he didn't know him.

In the world of martial arts, masters are not uncommon. Although the deep mountains and old forests in Guandong are dangerous, they do not pose much threat to martial arts masters who are proficient in vital energy. Even after seeing Luo Jun's heroic figure defeating the bandits, Master Tong Qi believed that he was a first-rate player in the martial arts world, probably an outstanding disciple of a major sect.

But he knew Xu Bo's ability. Such senior herbalists were all skilled in martial arts. Especially Xu Bo, he had connections with many northern sects and had a high status in the martial arts world. Being a member of the Baicao Chamber of Commerce and helping to identify medicinal materials was only one of his duties. Many matters in the martial arts world also required Xu Bo to come forward and settle them.

In the eyes of such a person, a giant snake that seemed invincible like a nightmare was actually dug out and its gallbladder was taken out by him so casually? This was definitely not an ordinary martial arts master!

We must win him over! No... a medicinal material merchant like me cannot win over such a person, but at least we must establish a good relationship with him. When necessary, he can save the Tong family's life!

Thinking of this, Master Tong Qi immediately said, "Uncle Xu, congratulations on fulfilling your long-cherished wish, but now let's get down to business first. Can you give me an estimate for this ginseng and snake gall?"

Xu Bo also came back to his senses and wiped his tears: "Excuse me, the older I get, the more sentimental I become..."

"Young Master Lin... you are not an ordinary person, so I, Old Xu, will not hide anything. Ordinary Guandong mountain ginseng on the market is weighed by tael. Depending on the quality, the market price of one tael ranges from three to five taels of silver. However, a single ginseng weighing a full jin cannot be sold at the market price. It is basically auctioned, and the general transaction price is more than one thousand taels of silver... Since the establishment of the merchant, the largest ginseng king ever sold was a full jin and seven taels. It was bought by Taihe Hall in Dongzhou for four thousand two hundred taels of silver. It is still hanging in their lobby and is the treasure of the town..."

At this point, Xu Bo looked at Luo Jun's ginseng in the box again: "But what I said above cannot be compared with the ginseng you brought... Not to mention the years since the establishment of the Baicao Chamber of Commerce, even in the hundreds of years of history of the Eight Dao Collection, I have never heard of a treasure of this quality. It is really difficult for me to estimate the price..."

As he spoke, Old Xu looked at Lu Youcai standing beside him and said, "President Lu, how much money is left in the Chamber of Commerce's account for spending?"

"This..." Lu Youcai hesitated, after all, this was a trade secret.

Xu Bo saw that he was in a dilemma, so he simply said, "You mentioned last time that if you want to buy a batch of goods, you will need a lot of funds to turn around. Can you get enough now?"

Lu Youcai's eyes lit up, "Almost..."

"That's good." Old Xu nodded and said, "Let's put the ordinary items there aside for now. Can you allocate some money to get this?"

"Of course, it's all up to Uncle Xu..." Although the batch of goods that Lu Youcai liked were all precious medicinal materials, compared with this ginseng king that only appears once in a thousand years, they were indeed just ordinary items.

Xu Bo nodded and looked at Luo Jun. "Brother Lin, I will value this ginseng at 50,000 taels. The starting price is 55,000 taels. If it is sold, the Chamber of Commerce will take a 10% commission. If it is not sold, it will be sold for 50,000 taels. No matter what, I guarantee you will earn at least 50,000 taels. How do you do?"

This price was beyond Luo Jun's expectations. He thought it would be good to sell a ginseng for a few thousand taels, which could cover the storage fee at Jubao Tower. He didn't expect it to be so valuable!

One tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand coins. If we consider that one copper coin is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of one Zhendan coin, then 50,000 taels of silver, or 50 million, is already a huge sum of money.

But the two worlds are different after all, and money cannot be converted so simply.

Compared to the main world, the productivity of the [Wulin] world is far behind, and the total wealth is far less. For example, the treasury of the main world Zhendan easily has trillions of Zhendan coins, and the gross domestic product is easily hundreds of trillions. Compared with such huge figures, tens of millions are only a hundred thousandth or even one millionth of the order of magnitude...

However, compared with the martial arts world, the government's treasury usually has only tens of millions of taels all year round, and even in disaster years the amount will shrink to a million taels. In comparison, fifty thousand taels of silver is only one thousandth or even one percent of the treasury!
Reflecting on the lives of ordinary people, in the feudal era of [Wulin], people's life needs were far less diverse than those of modern people in the main world. Most of the money earned by [Wulin] people was used to maintain basic food and clothing. Having enough food and clothing was considered a stable life. However, in a peaceful modern society, food and clothing only account for a small part of living expenses. Other entertainment, electronic products, education, medical care, transportation, loans, water and electricity, and even the consumption of luxury goods, etc., are unimaginable to the people in the feudal era.

It can be said that if you give an ordinary citizen in the [Wulin] one or two taels of silver, he can use it to buy rice and vegetables and live for several months, but if you give a modern person in the [Main World] one thousand yuan, he may not be able to maintain a basic life for even one month.

In a word, in [Wulin] where productivity is backward and goods are relatively scarce, the value of money cannot be simply converted by the price of the same goods. These 50,000 taels of silver are far more valuable in the [Wulin] world than the 50 million in the main world.

Luo Jun naturally had no objection to such a huge sum of money. Tong Qiye also said that the Chamber of Commerce was sincere enough, and the price of ginseng was basically finalized.

Next, it was the turn of the super-giant snake gall, and the Chamber of Commerce was a little embarrassed.

"To be honest..." Xu Bo sighed as he looked at the snake gallbladder: "In terms of rarity, this snake gallbladder is probably much more valuable than that precious ginseng... But according to the pharmacopoeia, the effect of snake gallbladder is nothing more than clearing away heat and detoxifying. Compared with ginseng, which can replenish qi and strengthen the body, and even almost bring people back to life, no matter how good the quality is, it may be difficult to find a suitable buyer..."

"In fact, the better the quality, the harder it is to sell..."

Luo Jun understood as soon as he heard it. If you say there is a special medicine that can cure cancer and there is only one in the world, there will be people who want to buy it even if you offer a sky-high price.

But if you develop a special cold medicine that can stop your runny nose right away, no matter how effective it is, you probably won’t be able to sell it at a high price…

"But snake gallbladders are beneficial to the cultivation of vital energy. This quality of snake gallbladders has never been seen before, and no one knows how effective it is. If Young Master Lin doesn't have time, I can contact some martial arts sects on your behalf, and maybe I can find a market for it... But the Baicao Chamber of Commerce cannot guarantee a price for you."

Luo Jun nodded in agreement. After all, the fifty thousand taels was beyond his expectations, and he couldn't take the money from Wulin with him, so any more money wouldn't be of much use to him.

And there were more than just these two things in his bag... Then, Luo Jun took out a few more medicinal herbs, many of which he couldn't even name, but the rich vitality in them made him certain that they were definitely not ordinary items.

As expected, each of these medicinal herbs caused exclamations from several experts.

"Young Master Lin, where did you find so many treasures?" Uncle Xu has been in the medicinal materials market for half his life, but he has never seen such heavyweight treasures as today!

"All of this was obtained in the valley guarded by the giant snake..."

Luo Jun wandered in the deep mountains of Guandong for a few days and encountered many treasures. However, judging from the concentration of vitality, the first-class medicinal herbs outside were just like wild grasses that could be found everywhere in the valley. In the end, he gave up the treasures collected from other places and picked a few of the best quality ones from the valley. "No wonder..." Xu Bo nodded: "With such a strange beast guarding it, it must be a secret place that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth... Any of these items is a treasure that can shake the medicinal herbs market!"

The things are good, but Lu Youcai also said that the Chamber of Commerce does not have so much funds to consume these treasures, so he can only help Luo Jun put them out to find a market.

Luo Jun didn't care and let them run it without worry. In the [Wulin], strength is the first hard currency. He has already demonstrated his absolute strength. Even if these businessmen really have evil intentions, they have to think twice.

In the next few days, the Baicao Chamber of Commerce released several major auction news in succession. Several medicinal herbs with starting prices of tens of thousands of taels were put up for auction, shocking countless medicinal herb merchants.

Not only those who were purchasing locally, the Chamber of Commerce also sent letters to some major drug dealers who did not send anyone, focusing on describing the origins and efficacy of these treasures, and emphasizing that such an opportunity is rare in a century and will never come again.

When these messages were sent out, the drug dealers' first reaction was that the prices must have been wrong. The appearance of a treasure of this size was already magical enough, but the appearance of several in a row, could it be that Uncle Xu had lost his mind?
But even if Xu Bo was out of his mind, with so many people in the Baicao Chamber of Commerce, they wouldn't all be hysterical... Driven by curiosity, some merchants still went to the Chamber of Commerce to inspect the goods, but after coming out, they were all stunned, muttering words like "magic herbs, elixir..." and it took them a long time to recover.

As more and more people went to Baicao Chamber of Commerce to inspect the goods, everyone finally realized that the description posted by the Chamber of Commerce was not exaggerated at all, and was even somewhat restrained.

At the same time, many big drug dealers from other places also rushed to Badaoji overnight, wanting to take a look at these treasures.

Three days passed quickly. There were many people watching the fun, but almost no one dared to bid.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver would make even the Baicao Chamber of Commerce grit its teeth. There are only a few medicinal material merchants in the entire Central Plains who can really come up with such a huge sum of money...

However, Luo Jun was not worried. He looked at the time. It would take three or four days before the gate of Wulin would reopen. He had already agreed with Lu Youcai to wait for one more day at most. The day after tomorrow morning, he would take 50,000 taels of silver and leave, regardless of whether he sold it or not. As for the remaining herbs, he was not in a hurry and just put them in the Chamber of Commerce to sell.

With this condition, Luo Jun could get cash and Baicao Chamber of Commerce could keep the medicinal materials for free. Both parties felt that it was a good deal and they hit it off.

As the night drew on, Luo Jun sat on the heated kang in the Chamber of Commerce's guest room, cross-legged with his head facing the sky, and the vital energy in his body began to accelerate.

Nearly a month had passed since his last breakthrough, and the compression of the vital energy in his body had approached its limit. He had finally reached a bottleneck, and it was time to break through to the fourth level of Peiyuan Realm!
Luo Jun adjusted the vital energy in his body to the most suitable state, and then called out the Tianji dice.

"Break through the fourth level of Pei Yuan Realm."

"Ding, the event difficulty is 71 points, the final points are 50+15 points, the event failed!"

Bad luck...

Luo Jun chose to go back on his word and try again.

"Ding, the event difficulty is 71 points, the final points are 28+15 points, the event failed!"

"I'm sorry..."

Level 8 luck, including double insurance, a total of four dice rolls, but not even one result was over 50. This luck is incredible...

Luo Jun activated the refresh, regretted it again, and then closed his eyes on the kang to rest. After midnight, he couldn't wait to try again...

"Ding, the event difficulty is 71 points, the final points are 11+15 points, the event failed!"

what is it today?
Luo Jun blinked his eyes, as if God didn't want him to succeed... Could this be a bad omen?

If it is really a bad omen, then he must work harder to improve his strength. Luo Jun didn't believe it and started to regret it again!
"Ding, the event difficulty is 71 points, the final point is 97+15 points, the event is successful!"

It’s finally done!

Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief and began to circulate his energy in an attempt to break through.

With the help of the Tianji dice, Luo Jun's breakthrough was very smooth. The vitality in his body quickly stabilized and he successfully advanced to the fourth level of Peiyuan Realm.

"Ding, the event was successful, basic experience 71 points, severity coefficient eight times, final experience 568 points!"

"Congratulations, you have been upgraded!"

In the past twenty days, Luo Jun has gained at least 46 to experience points every day, and is already on the verge of leveling up. This time, the more than points he gained finally helped him reach level !
The result of the attribute point extraction is eight points, and another twenty-three attribute points are gained.

However, Luo Jun's basic attributes are already very high now, and the additional twenty points are not a significant increase compared to before. Luo Jun just checked the attribute table, knew what he was doing, and then lay down and fell asleep.

The next morning, Luo Jun got up and went out, took a breath of fresh air, and stretched in the courtyard of Baicao Chamber of Commerce. Suddenly, his ears moved, and he turned his head to look at the front hall, where there seemed to be a quarrel.

Out of curiosity, Luo Jun walked to the front hall. As soon as he entered, he saw several Guandong people wearing animal skins standing in front of Lu Youcai, arguing fiercely.

"This originally belonged to Master Chang, and you guys stole it!" The leader of the Guandong people was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, with bright eyes and white teeth. She was holding Luo Jun's ginseng and angrily said in a somewhat broken Central Plains Mandarin: "You Central Plains people, you dug so many treasures from our mountains, and now you don't even let go of Master Chang's things. How shameless!"
