Surprise! The popular villain is actually Long Aotian's wife

Wang Liu was also moved when he heard this. He sighed and rubbed the boy's head with heartache.

"Be smart, Uncle Six will help you earn spiritual stones."

"You also saw that the two people I led today are not short of money. One of them is an alchemist. He wants to buy hedgehog grass."

The skinny monkey was surprised and asked, "Hedgehog grass? What do they want this for?"

Wang Liu slapped him on the head, "Why do you care so much?"

"All you need to know is that the alchemist wants to buy a large amount of hedgehog grass. He wants as much as he can get. He also asked me, your sixth uncle, to call on the ten or so people who are also setting up stalls around here to pick hedgehog grass together."

"This is a big business. When the time comes, just pick more and mark the price. How many spirit stones do you want?"

The skinny monkey clenched his fist and said excitedly: "Then I'll go dig it now!"

Wang Liu said angrily: "Come back! Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished talking yet."

"The hedgehog grass needs to be whole, and the roots and all must be intact. The key is that it is fresh, so the roots can have some soil on them."

"I remember, uncle!"

Wang Liu saw that the boy wanted to run again, so he pulled him back and said in a low voice, "You are stupid. Hedgehog grass is just a small amount of money. What is most important is to serve the two adults."

"Your uncle just showed someone the way and gave him a reward of more than 100 spirit stones worth of elixirs. Do you know what is light and what is heavy?"

"Now, just stay with me and be smart in front of those two people, and you'll have money for your mother's medicine!"

"Okay! Uncle, I will follow you!" said the skinny monkey gratefully.

Wang Liu, with Skinny Monkey, quickly conveyed Xiao Lin's words to the dozen or so cultivators who were setting up stalls elsewhere, and gathered them together.

These monks all had expressions of incredible excitement.

Although the workers in the mine buy hedgehog grass, the demand is limited, so there are only a dozen or so stalls scattered around.

Who knew that I would suddenly get lucky and encounter such a good thing today.

They want as much as they can. In other words, if they want to pick several thousand kilograms of hedgehog grass, they will need several thousand kilograms of the herb!

If this is true, those who didn't come to set up stalls today must be regretting it to death.

More than a dozen cultivators quickly gathered together and, led by Wang Liu, came in front of Xiao Lin, each with an expectant look on their face.

Xiao Lin smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice: "I believe you all already know that I am quite interested in the local herbs of Black Stone City, so I want to buy some for research."

"Since my master has always liked to cultivate and research medicinal plants, he wanted to purchase a large amount of hedgehog grass."

He paused, then continued with a smile, "It can be considered a way to please the master. As for the price of the herbs, how about I add 10% to the price you usually sell them at?

However, I do have some requirements for this herb. The hedgehog grass plant must be complete and fresh. After all, it will be easier for the master to cultivate it when I bring it back.

So it doesn't matter if the roots have mud on them, it will make them easier to transplant and survive. The extra 10% of the price is for your extra care when picking them."

Everyone hurriedly said, "No problem, we'll do as you ask. We will be more careful when picking."

"Um... let me ask one more question. Do you charge as much as you can?"

"There are so many of us. What if everyone picks hedgehog grass day and night to make money? After all, hedgehog grass is everywhere in the mountains and it doesn't cost any money..." One of the stall owners raised his doubts.

This was also the doubt in the minds of several other cultivators present. Upon hearing this, they immediately waited for the alchemist in front of them to reply.

Xiao Lin said in a positive tone: "Yes, no matter how many herbs you pick, I will buy them. Of course, I know what you are worried about, and I will pay a deposit first."

As he spoke, he took out two small bottles of medicine from his mustard seed ring, each containing fifty Guiyuan Pills, with a total value of five hundred spirit stones.

Xiao Lin estimated the time and said, "At this time tomorrow, we will come to get the herbs and pay the remaining bill, but in the form of pills."

"If any of you have any objections to the settlement of the pills, you can raise them now."

Everyone responded quickly.

"No objection, no objection."

"What you gave me is the Guiyuan Pill, a popular pill that restores spiritual power. There is no shortage of sales."

"That's it!"

"The price of Guiyuan Pill is usually five spirit stones per pill. If the supply of pills is tight, the price may go up by one or two spirit stones, so you don't have to worry about it."

Xiao Lin nodded and said, "Okay, then I will give the deposit to this monk Qin first. If you have any questions later, please ask him. You can also discuss with him whether the deposit should be distributed now."

He handed two bottles of Guiyuan Dan to the sloppy man Qin Shi.

The sloppy man held two bottles of pills, his hands were shaking, as if he saw countless spirit stones through the two bottles of pills, and said excitedly: "Okay! Don't worry!"

Qi Wu Yue reminded: "I would also like to advise everyone not to blindly pursue quantity and ignore quality. We don't want hedgehog grass that is missing limbs or dried up to the point of dying."

"Don't worry, you two! I will check for them. If anyone dares to pursue quantity instead of quality, and picks a mess of hedgehog grass, I, Qin Shi, will never accept it!" the sloppy man promised.

He held the deposit in his hand, acting like a leader.

Wang Liu also hurriedly pushed Shouhou forward, seemingly scolding him but actually encouraging him: "Shouhou, you too, be more alert and help your uncle Qin Shi to check things out!"

Wang Liu quickly interjected and asked the two generous guests to help this kid. After all, any reward from the alchemist would be enough for them to earn for several months.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, this kid is my nephew. With him here, I can take better care of him and he won't do anything wrong."

Xiao Lin didn't care about his little thoughts and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you for your concern."

Qin Shi and Shou Hou quickly waved their hands: "I don't deserve it."

After finalizing the price and some details, a dozen monks, led by Qin Shi and Shou Hou, left impatiently and hurried to pick hedgehog grass.

It was as if the spirit stone was lost if it was delayed for a quarter of an hour.

Wang Liu did not forget his duty and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Where do you two want to go next?"

After all, he was paid to lead the two of them.

At this moment, the ground began to vibrate, and the tiny rocks under the feet were jumping. What kind of huge monster could cause such a horrific earthquake?

Boom, boom, boom...

Like the sound of falling footsteps, so heavy that it was impossible to estimate, each one causing the ground to shake.

The vibration came from the mine.

A loud elephant roar exploded in my ears, as loud as thunder, yet long and deep.

A beast leg that seemed like a stone pillar supporting the sky stepped into the cave from the entrance. The mine entrance, which was over a hundred feet high, was shaken and countless pieces of earth and rocks rolled down.

The monster that caused such a shock finally revealed its full appearance.
