Shen Mian rushed over and grabbed Luo Xu's hand that was handing over the card, and said angrily: "He is cheating you! It's not worth the price!"

The waiter was unhappy: "Hey, young lady, how can you say that? Although our store is a small business, we do business with conscience. These are all top-quality elixirs. You can't say anything just because you are pretty!"

Shen Mian asked back: "Then tell me, how do you calculate the price of these herbs?"

The waiter's eyes wandered for a moment, and he said in annoyance: "Calculate it, calculate it, I'll calculate it for you, please watch carefully!"

"This is the Tianyuan Fruit. Eating it can prolong life and is a good herbal ingredient for alchemy! This is a 300-year-old Tianyuan Fruit. Our store only bought 200 taels. Isn't that a good deal?"

Shen Mian sneered: "The Tianyuan Fruit is too cold in nature, and it needs three tail leaves to neutralize it, so that there will be no mistakes when refining the elixir. Your Tianyuan Fruit only has one tail leaf left, which has greatly reduced its value. What's more, this Tianyuan Fruit is definitely not 300 years old, it is at most 100 years old, and its value does not exceed 70 taels."

"Then...then this Purple Star Orchid is also a valuable spiritual medicine. It is a hundred years old, so it should be worth at least a hundred taels!"

Shen Mian didn't even raise his eyes: "The petals are dark yellow at the end, and the leaves are curled. Do you have the nerve to sell a purple star orchid of this quality? No more than thirty taels."

"Then this cold tobacco..."

"Cold tobacco has five leaves. Where did you find this weed with six leaves?" Shen Mian asked angrily, "Can't you even tell what kind of herbs your store is when you buy them?"

The waiter's forehead was covered with sweat, and he knew he had hit a wall: "Yes, yes, yes... I am shortsighted. I will recalculate the bill for you, young master and young lady."

Luo Xu had already reacted, and sneered: "Why, do you think I'm easy to fool? Call your shopkeeper over!"

"This..." The waiter looked embarrassed, but the shopkeeper, who had already noticed the commotion here, came over by himself.

"Haha... My two distinguished guests, this brat was short-sighted and failed to recognize the elixir. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. How about this? All these medicinal herbs in the shop will be sold to you at a 20% discount!"

Luo Xu crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows slightly: "If it weren't for this girl's help, I would have to pay much more for these elixirs. Are you treating beggars badly by giving me a 20% discount?"

Shen Mian: "That's right. If I weren't here, this foolish and wealthy young master would have to pay six times the price for your broken herb. Either give us a 10% discount, or you guys will pay a huge discount."

The shopkeeper's body trembled: "This, this, this... a discount is too..."

Luo Xu looked around. There were not many customers in the store to begin with. He was afraid of getting into trouble and ran away: "You have quite a few spiritual medicines here. You don't want me to burn them all, do you?"

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile: "Sir, you are joking... How can we burn this? Besides, this is under the emperor's feet, and burning down the store is such a big deal..."

Luo Xu interrupted him: "I am the great Luo family. If we burn down a black-hearted shop to benefit the alchemists in Qingyang City, I believe no one will say anything."

"Lololuo family!" The shopkeeper was so nervous that he stuttered. He knew that they had really hit a wall this time.

Although they would occasionally mention the price of the spiritual medicine, this time this guy was too ruthless and not only did he cheat the Luo family?

At this moment, the shopkeeper really wanted to knock the clerk's head open to see what he was thinking!

The guy was also trembling with fear at this moment, he just dared to quote such a high price because he saw that this young master was naive, seemed to have money and was easy to cheat. Originally, the young master was about to pay, but who knew that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway, and this young man was the young master of the Luo family!

That is the Luo family, one of the four major families!

He felt his head swaying on his neck.

"So it's the young master of the Luo family. What you said is right. Today's whole shop is at fault. Let alone a 10% discount, all should be given to Young Master Luo. What are you standing there for? Why don't you pack up the herbs Young Master Luo wants?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll be right there!" The guy didn't dare to say anything else. He nodded and bowed, packed the elixir and handed it to Luo Xu.

Although the quality of the spiritual medicine was not good, it was free after all. Luo Xu took it and handed it all to Shen Mian.

"If the girl hadn't asked, I would have spent a lot of money in vain. This elixir should be given to the girl."

The two shopkeepers stood respectfully at the door and watched the two men leave the store, wishing they could cry on the spot.

I lost five thousand taels of spiritual medicine all at once, and I also offended the young master of the Luo family...

This dog really has a hard life...

Shen Mian threw back the large bags of herbs: "The quality is too poor, it affects my alchemy."

Luo Xu: "Ah...Okay then."

Shen Mian suddenly opened another package and picked out the six-leaf spiritual medicine: "I only want this one."

Luo Xu opened his mouth slightly: "Isn't this the fake Han Tobacco? Didn't you say it was weed?"

Shen Mian put the elixir into the space, his eyes curved because of his extremely good mood: "It is indeed not cold tobacco, but another elixir, ground root grass. Ground root grass is not expensive, but it is difficult to find. I just need it."

Earthroot is one of the few hard-to-find elixirs needed for the Retrograde Pill.

It's really like searching for something in vain.

Shen Mian was in a very good mood.

Luo Xu was also happy: "That's perfect! By the way, young lady, which family are you from? Thank you so much today, young lady. I am Luo Xu from the Luo family. I will come to thank you one day."

Shen Mian looked at him and smiled: "Shen family, Shen Simian."
