Cities: Start from Controlling Destiny

What he wants is not the healing properties of herbs, but the aura accumulated in the herbs over the years.

Hearing Lin Qin's request, Mr. Gu was a little confused, because the medicine was three-point poisonous, and if he pursued the heavy medicine, it would be too much, and it would be counterproductive.

Of course, Gu Lao only dared to guess in his heart, who is this Master Lin?Since he made such a request, it is naturally his arrangement.

"Master Lin, don't worry, my friend has worked in this medicinal herb business for more than ten years, he must have a lot of stock."

Gu Laole smiled, made a gesture of invitation, and then said, "This way please."

Because he often has to purchase medicinal herbs for the warriors in the southern area of ​​Pengcheng, he is familiar with the way here, and soon brought Lin Qin to a big medicine hall that looks ordinary on the outside, but very spacious on the inside.

"Hey, old man Gu, what kind of wind brought you here today."

As soon as he reached the entrance of the medicine hall, a middle-aged man in a loose robe walked up to him.

He has an ordinary appearance, wearing a pair of thick old-fashioned glasses, and he is smiling. When his eyes fell on Lin Qin, his pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly turned his eyes away.

"What kind of friend did you bring here today? It's hard for me to introduce you."

"Master Lin!" Gu Lao introduced.

When he saw Mr. Gu's introduction, he was very respectful, and the owner of the pharmacy immediately understood the interest. Knowing that a big person came today, he hurriedly greeted him,
"Come, come, please come inside first, you two are making good black tea, let's have a cup of warm tea first."

After speaking, the three of them entered the medicine hall. Not to mention, the stock of medicinal herbs inside was astonishing. Some of them were like firewood, piled up in bundles like a mountain.

After a few small chats, Mr. Gu knew Master Lin's temperament, so he hurriedly put aside the past and talked about the serious business.

"Old Huang, I don't know if there are some older medicinal herbs in the store. Master Lin wants to buy in large quantities."

"This one……"

Hearing Mr. Gu's request, Boss Huang showed embarrassment, sighed regretfully, and then explained,

"Brother Gu, I'm really sorry. If you had come a day earlier, my shop still has some stock in stock."

"What's the matter?" Gu Lao asked back with a slightly changed face, because these wild herbs are generally higher than the market price, it should not be too easy to release.

Boss Huang didn't hold back, and said bluntly, "I'm also very surprised. These herbs are usually only needed by the fraternities in the circle, but just yesterday, a person suddenly came and took all the herbs of a slightly older age in the medicine city. In the past, the purchase price was [-]% higher than the usual price.”

"Buy them all, who? So rich and powerful!" Gu Lao asked in surprise.

You must know that the price of herbs picked in the wild, especially some herbs from the previous era, is comparable to that of ginseng, and they are all calculated in grams. If one gram is calculated at thousands of yuan, one plant must be at least close to a million.

How much would it cost to wipe out the medicine city with just one shot?
After more than ten years in the herbal business, this is the first time Boss Huang has seen it. He also shook his head in bewilderment.

"I'm not too sure. I heard it's a big family in the circle. I'm not too sure about the details."

Lin Qin frowned, and interjected, "Isn't there even an older medicinal herb in the entire medicine city?"

"Yes, Mr. Huang, please help me think about it." Mr. Gu looked at Boss Huang with wide eyes.

After all, he promised Master Lin just now, but he was full of confidence, and now Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared, which really made him a little at a loss.

Boss Huang touched his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Old Gu, don't you know the owner of Qingping Village?"

"Oh!"

After being reminded by Boss Huang, Mr. Gu raised his hand and slapped himself on the forehead, "Why did I forget this?"

Seeing Lin Qin was puzzled, Mr. Gu hurriedly explained,

"Master Lin, it's like this. The owner of Qingping Villa was originally from our southern district, and later moved to Medicine City. On weekdays, she would hide some precious medicinal herbs in the manor as a personal collection."

"Collecting herbs?"

This is the first time Lin Qin has heard of this kind of collection.

Gu Lao nodded heartily, "Yes, she was interested in some weird medicinal herbs when she was in the Southern District."

"Then let's go." Suddenly curious, Lin Qin asked casually, as long as he can find the herbs he needs, he doesn't care about the way.

After bidding farewell to Boss Huang, under the guidance of Mr. Gu, they crossed the green road and came to the gate of a private manor.

Lin Qin glanced casually, and found that the security here is quite strict, and there are several pairs of security guards patrolling back and forth in the manor.

"Sorry, this is a private place. If you don't have an appointment, please retreat outside the stone staircase." At this time, a tall and mighty security guard stepped forward and stopped the two of them very professionally.

"We don't have an appointment." Gu Lao said calmly,

"However, you can go and report that Mr. Gu from the southern district will meet you."

The security guard wanted to continue the interrogation and verify his identity first, but when he heard the word "Nan District" and then looked at Gu Lao's old-fashioned appearance, the security guard hesitated a little. Could it be that he is really the owner's friend.

"Elder Gu!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the back of his head, "Why did you come to Medicine City and didn't know you would call me?"

"It turned out to be Hong Gong." Hearing this, Mr. Gu turned around and saw that it was an old friend, and said with a busy smile, "Something happened suddenly, and I didn't stay for long, so I didn't tell everyone."

Like the owner of Qingping Village, this Hong Gong was originally a member of the martial artist circle in the Southern District. Although he has no talent in cultivation, he is very smart in business. After leaving the Southern District, he did business here in Medicine City. It's booming.

"That's it." Hong Gong showed a trace of regret, "I still want to talk to you to catch up on the past, it seems that it's time for me to go to the Southern District next time."

"The future will be long." Gu Lao smiled slightly, and suddenly remembered something, "Yes, you just came, take us in by the way, I have something important to see Qingping."

"Well, let's go in together."

Hong Gong said with a smile, because he has business dealings with Qingping, he often haunts this manor.

Sometimes, a face is the best pass. Seeing that it was Boss Hong, the security guard who stopped them just now raised his hand in salute and watched them go in.

When they entered the manor, they came to the living room under the leadership of the butler.

As soon as they entered, they could hear conversations, talking and laughing, besides the owner of Qingping Village, there was another woman sitting next to her.

This woman is dressed in capable clothes, her hair reaches her shoulders, and her sitting posture and conversation are all interpreting her identity as a strong woman.

"Miss Deng, why is she here?"

Hong Gong next to him recognized the woman's identity at a glance, then turned his head, and said to Gu Lao in a low voice,
"I heard that she bought all the medicinal herbs in the medicine city recently, and now she came here, it seems that she is eyeing Qingping's private collection."
