Chapter 302 Huichun Hall
Lu Changsheng’s residence is in the outer area of Xujia Town.
Although the house is not very big, the furnishings inside are also shabby. There is only a wooden bed and some simple tables and chairs, but it is just a temporary stay, so there is definitely no problem.
After knowing the location of his home, Jiang Yao, under the guidance of Lu Changsheng, wandered around Xujia Town.
As for Lu Xiong, he has a wife and several children at home. After confessing to Jiang Yao, he hurried back to his home.
The entire Xujia Town is not large in scale, and its area is slightly smaller than a village in Jiang Yao's hometown in the real world.
The buildings in the town are also chaotic and without any planning at all.
The street, one horizontal and one vertical, that can allow two carriages to pass side by side, is the core area of Xujia Town.
“Sir, more than half of the population in this town has the surname Xu.”
“It’s just that most of these Xu family members are just side branches. The real main line of the Xu family is only one or two. About a hundred people.”
"The huge mansion at the intersection of the two streets in the most central area of the town is where the Xu family is located."
"The so-called main line of the Xu family is not just the direct lineage of the Xu family, as a Among the Xu family members of the side branch, if there are people with outstanding abilities, they will also be included in the main line of the Xu family."
"The shops on both sides of the street are basically owned by the Xu family, and those of us with foreign surnames are the most common. We can only set up a stall to do some small business that the Xu family doesn’t even care about.”
…
Walking with Jiang Yao on the streets of the town, Lu Changsheng led the way. At the same time, I also introduce a few words from time to time.
Judging from his various descriptions, ordinary people with foreign surnames in Xujia Town are like leeks, harvested one after another, with basically no chance of getting ahead.
While walking in front of a medicine shop called Huichun Hall, Jiang Yao paused.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell wild medicinal materials that are over a hundred years old here?" After a few steps into the pharmacy, he looked around and asked the man inside who was dressed like a shopkeeper. .
"Who are you?" The drugstore shopkeeper, who was flipping through an account book in his hand, raised his head with confusion on his face. He looked Jiang Yao up and down.
Perhaps, because Jiang Yao was a stranger, the medicine shop owner did not directly respond to his question, but asked him a question in return.
"Master An, this is a distant relative of mine from Lujiao Village. He is staying at my house temporarily for a few days." Lu Changsheng, who followed him into the medicine shop, quickly explained with a smile on his face.
The medicine shop owner is called Xu An. Although he is not the main line of the Xu family, he can get into the position of the medicine shop owner. Among the branches of the Xu family, he is considered to be doing well.
He nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder, I find this little brother so unfamiliar."
"Medicals that are more than a hundred years old are not considered genuine. It is a magical medicine, but its medicinal properties are not much different from ordinary magical medicines."
"This level of medicinal materials is only suitable for warriors to nourish the body, and is not suitable for ordinary people."
...
Speaking of this, Xu An stopped talking, his eyes were filled with meaning, and he looked Jiang Yao up and down a few more times.
It’s just that Jiang Yao has the breath gathering technique blessed on him. Unless he takes the initiative to show his strength, otherwise, let alone Xu An, even if a warrior one or two realms higher than him stands in front of him, In front of me, I couldn't see any abnormalities at all.
“Shopkeeper, I’m just an ordinary person.”
“I’ll just ask you the price of a century-old medicinal material.”
"If the medicinal materials are more valuable here in Xujia Town, in the future, if I collect good medicinal materials, I would like to sell them directly to you!" Shrugging, Jiang Yao smiled and responded.
From what Lu Xiong and Lu Changsheng said, he already knew that there were specialized herb collectors in Xujia Town.
Wild medicinal materials that are more than a hundred years old are necessary for him to assist in his cultivation. If he can buy such items directly from the Huichun Hall with some jade money, it will be better than buying it himself. Collecting medicinal herbs in the mountains is naturally much more convenient and faster.
But now it seems that the Xu family has very strict control over such things that are beneficial to a warrior's practice, and it seems difficult for ordinary people to buy them even if they have money.
“We at Huichun Tang purchase wild medicinal materials that are more than a century old.”
"In terms of price, it starts with at least one jade coin. The older the year, the more expensive the purchase price."
"If you have such medicinal materials that you want to sell, just take them over. Our Xu family has always done business. They are all gentlemen, and I will definitely not treat you badly in terms of price."
"In addition, our Xu Family Herb Collection Team recruits people all year round. As long as you join, we will give you a copy of the elixir atlas for free."
“In this case, when you go into the mountains to collect herbs, you will not only have companions to take care of you, but also you won’t miss out on the elixir because you don’t know it.”
……
After hearing Jiang Yao's words, Xu An's expression became obviously much kinder than before.
With a faint smile on his face that was as refreshing as spring breeze, and with a bright tongue, he actually tried to recruit Jiang Yao.
In his words, being able to join the Xu family’s herb collection team seemed to be the happiest thing in the world. Not only did he not have to worry about food and clothing, but as long as he could collect good medicine, he could also get a high salary. divided into.
"Atlas of elixir?" Jiang Yao was slightly startled when he heard these words. It has to be said that this thing does have a lot of appeal to him.
"I'll think about whether to join your Xu family's herb collection team!" After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yao finally spoke and declined politely.
He has always known that there is never a free lunch in the world.
With the Xu family's style, those with foreign surnames at the bottom are tightly controlled by them. He is just a newbie here. It is impossible for the Xu family to treat him differently.
Joining the herb collection team and becoming the herb collector of the Xu family will have various restrictions and should be accompanied by many dangers. It will definitely not be as wonderful as the shopkeeper Xu An said.
“For the time being, I still have a lot of medicinal materials in my hand. When I run out of such cultivation resources, the worst case scenario is that I will rob the Huichun Hall directly.”
"When the time comes, whether it is a map of elixirs or centuries-old medicinal materials, they will all be available."
Inadvertently, this idea appeared in Jiang Yao's mind.
There were many warriors at the Xu family's mansion, and he still had no idea what state the strongest ones inside had reached.
It is too risky to attack the Xu family, but it is just an idea to open a dozen drug stores. With Jiang Yao's strength, there should be no problem.
In his eyes, everyone in this world except himself is just aborigines, and he has no psychological barriers to attacking them.
What's more, judging from his understanding of Xujia Town, the Xu family that firmly controls this place is not a good man or woman.
“Consider it? Of course there is no problem.”
“Going into the mountains to collect herbs, walking alone, may encounter danger at any time. Every time my Xu family’s herb collection team goes into the mountains, There are dedicated warriors guarding you. "
"I guess, little brother, you must know what is the most appropriate choice."
With a gentle smile on his face, Xu An continued.
Some time ago, in order to pick a magical medicine, their Xu family's herb collection team suffered heavy casualties, and they were currently very short of manpower.
I happened to know that Jiang Yao was a herbal collector, so he recruited him casually.
His contribution is definitely indispensable for the success of the matter. If they don't agree, Xu An will not lose anything.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, if I think carefully about it and really plan to join the Xu family's herb collection team, I will definitely ask you for help in recommending me."
Jiang Yao responded casually, and Jiang Yao's expression changed. It was a bit weird, so he laughed and walked straight outside the drug store.
The entire Xujia Town is only such a big place.
Under Lu Changsheng’s guidance, it didn’t take long for him to have a general tour.
There is no trace of any resources related to cultivation in the town.
If Jiang Yao had not already seen the woman who could fly in the sky, and had already learned from Lu Xiong and Lu Changsheng that the Xu family was a martial arts family, he would have been a little doubtful whether there was anything here. extraordinary.
"Besides your Xujia Town, are there any cities or other towns nearby?" Jiang Yao asked Lu Changsheng as he was walking on the street and returning the same way.
"There must be a few villages and towns similar to our Xujia Town within a hundred miles."
"I heard my second uncle talk about it. When he was hunting in the mountains, he talked to those villages and towns more than once. There have been conflicts with the hunters.”
“I heard from people in the town that some villages and towns have a pretty good relationship with us in Xujia Town, but some villages and towns have a feud with us, and they have to fight whenever they meet. "
Sighing, Lu Changsheng continued: "I seem to have heard someone say that there is a huge city called Black Rock City two or three hundred miles away from our Xujia Town. "
“On the main line of the Xu family, there is a special caravan traveling between the town and Black Rock City.”
"But we ordinary people have no chance to go to Black Rock City and deal with them."
"Under normal circumstances, we will always live in the cage of Xujia Town until Even if you die, it will be difficult to see the real scene outside."
...
The two of them walked along the street while chatting.
Although Lu Changsheng is not that old in terms of age, his speech and behavior not only possess a maturity that is rare among his peers, but also seem to contain a deep sense of destiny. Unwilling to do so.
From his mouth, Jiang Yao learned a lot of things, and his understanding of Xujia Town became much clearer.
Whether he wants to work hard to improve his realm or have a clearer understanding of the various elixirs in this world, it seems that he cannot bypass the Xu family at all.
“Forget it, while there are still medicinal materials in hand that can assist in cultivation, let’s improve our strength first.”
Back at Lu Changsheng’s home, Jiang Yao plunged into cultivation.
