Chapter 21: Encounter with a thief


Gu Tian left the restaurant and walked on the street.

Tianshan City is different from other places.

It is close to Tianshan Gate, which is a major refining center for medicine.

Therefore, there are many various drug stores and medical clinics, and most of them are owned by Tianshan Gate.

Because of this, most people in the city are inextricably related to Tianshan Gate.

Tianshan City also has another name, called the City of Thieves.

There are many alchemists from Tianshan Sect gathered here, and a large number of warriors and ordinary people come to buy elixirs every day.

Warriors do it to practice, ordinary people do it to prolong their lives.

Large amounts of gold and silver are passed through here every day, which naturally creates more thieves who get something for nothing.

The streets paved with bluestone are hard and durable.

When the carriage drives on the road, the people in the carriage will not feel any bumps.

There are four such bluestone roads in Tianshan City, leading to the east, west, north and south gates respectively.

In the center of the city, where four bluestone roads intersect, is a huge square where the Tianshan Sect recruits disciples every year.

When I was walking on the bluestone road today, I heard bursts of faint medicinal fragrance coming from the medicine shops on both sides.

He picked a drug store that looked bigger and had more foot traffic and walked over.

When you get closer, you can look up and see the plaque hanging on the door beam, with four strong golden characters written on it: Tianshan Medicine Shop.

Following the flow of people, I walked in.

There were two powerful-looking warriors standing inside the door.

Beyond that were transparent counters, which contained some medicinal materials and refined elixirs.

Many people stood in front of the counter in Xiangzhong and discussed with the waiter behind the counter the price of the medicinal materials or elixirs inside.

Among them were some people wearing the attire of Tianshanmen alchemist.

Gu Tian walked around inside, and his eyes were opened to the dazzling array of elixirs.

He had always thought that only warriors needed elixirs, but he did not expect that the Tianshan Medicine Shop also had many elixirs for ordinary people.

Soon, a waiter noticed him, walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

No wonder this Tianshan drug store is so prosperous and has a much larger customer base than many drug stores.

Just because this pharmacy pays attention to every customer who comes in and does not let any customer feel left out, those who have been here once will voluntarily become repeat customers here.

He looked away at the counter, and immediately moved his gaze to the smiling waiter's face, and said with a slight smile: "I want to sell some medicinal materials, do you accept them here?"

After hearing this, the waiter said with a smile on his face: "We also purchase medicinal materials, but I would like you to go up to the second floor with me.

There is a private room over there.

You need to discuss it with our shopkeeper in detail."

"Okay."

Gu Tian put his hands in his sleeves and nodded to the waiter in front of him.

"Please."

The waiter bowed and gestured to the stairs on the first floor at the corner.

Then he and Gu Tian walked along the wooden stairs to the so-called private room on the second floor.

The waiter stretched out his hand to invite Gu Tian to sit on a chair in the private room on the second floor, made a cup of tea, and then said: "Please wait a moment, I will go and invite our shopkeeper."

After saying that, the waiter walked out of the room backwards, taking the bag with him. door.

After a while, the waiter returned to the private room, followed by an old man with a thin face and white hair who looked to be over sixty years old and walked into the room together.

"Hello, I am Yun Shanxing, the shopkeeper of Tianshan Medicine Store."

After entering the house, the old man rushed to Gu Tian's position.

When he got close, he stretched out his hands, took Gu Tian's hand, and introduced himself cordially.

The moment he was about to shake hands with the old man, Gu Tian stood up from his chair and said with a smile: "Hello, Shopkeeper Yun.

I'm here to sell some medicinal materials, please take a look."

After that, he put his hand into his arms and pretended to take something out from inside, but in fact he took something out from the storage bag.

Soon, his hand stretched out and placed ten red fruits on the table.

Yun Shanxing reached out and picked up the fruit on the table, put it under his nose and smelled it, and asked in surprise: "This is a red fruit.

Are you sure you want to sell these to our Tianshan Medicine Shop?

You must know that there are so many red fruits that can be put away."

Go to the auction and the price will definitely be higher than now.”

"No need, just sell it at your drug store."

Gu Tian nodded first and then said calmly.

"Well, in that case, I will set a price to see if you are satisfied."

Yun Shanxing stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and then continued: "According to the market price, the price of each red fruit is five thousand Two, there are ten here, a total of fifty thousand taels, what do you think?"

Gu Tian nodded and said with a faint smile: "Just follow what shopkeeper Yun said, and calculate the price at five thousand taels a piece, but I still have some medicinal materials here, put them together and set a price together."

He reached into his arms and took out some medicinal materials for refining barrier-breaking pills one after another, and placed them on the round table next to him.

The whole round table was filled with red fruits.

"It seems that the young hero is also knowledgeable about elixirs.

The medicinal materials on this table can be used to refine several furnaces of barrier-breaking elixirs.

Since they are complete sets of medicinal materials for elixirs, I can increase the price slightly.

A total of sixty-five thousand.

Qianliang, what do you think?"

After saying that, Yun Shanxing moved his eyes to Gu Tian's face, waiting for his answer.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Gu Tian nodded lightly.

The medicinal materials he left behind are of no use, and his original intention of refining the barrier-breaking pill has been shattered.

In the battle between Tianshanmen and Bai Linye, his successful breakthrough made him reflect seriously, and then he realized that what he needed was not pills to enhance his inner strength, but to improve his realm.

The words left by the unknown old man in the restaurant have always been like a thorn in his heart.

In the past, he always believed that improving one's cultivation level meant strengthening one's internal energy.

When he found that the internal energy could not be improved quickly, he thought of relying on elixirs to speed up his cultivation.

Until the battle with Bai Linye, he actually broke through under the suppression of Lu Yitianxia's move.

This breakthrough broke his previous understanding of martial arts.

Ever since he entered martial arts, he has been a blind man trying to figure out an elephant.

He has no one to guide him, so he has to figure everything out on his own.

After so long, he realized that he had entered a misunderstanding.

Martial arts is not simply about increasing inner strength, but while strengthening inner strength, you must also have your own insights.

This is the true realm of a warrior.

Taking the silver he got from selling medicinal materials and putting it in his arms, Gu Tian climbed the stairs on the second floor and walked towards the first floor.

When he was about to reach the corner of the first floor, a person walked out from the other side of the corner.

He seemed to have no time to dodge, and suddenly appeared on Gu Tian's body.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I was walking in such a hurry and bumped into you.

I'm really sorry."

Before Gu Tian could say anything, the person who bumped into him kept apologizing and admitting his mistake.

Gu Tian, ​​who wanted to have an attack, had no choice but to give up.

He waved his hand and moved out of the way of the stairs, asking the other party to go there first.

The other party thanked him again and then climbed up to the second floor.

Gu Tian left the Tianshan Medicine Shop, carrying the silver he had just earned from selling medicinal materials.

He did not stop along the way, and rushed along the bluestone road towards the north city gate.

He hadn't gone far, and when he turned around and could clearly see the gold-lettered signboard of the drug store, a cold little hand appeared on his body and started groping for it.

The little hand moved up and down, and quickly reached out to where the silver was in his arms.

Gu Tian's face turned cold.

He raised his hand, waved his hand seemingly casually, and grabbed the small hand's bright wrist.

He immediately turned around and looked at the owner of the little hand with a cold face.

An eight or nine-year-old child had half of his hand inserted into Gu Tian's arms.

He was looking at him in horror and said tremblingly: "It's cold, I just want to cover my hands.

Take it out right away."

He slapped his hand several times in a row without taking his hand out.

His little face turned red from suppressing it.

Finally, when he saw that he couldn't take his hand back, he begged for mercy: "Please let me go, I won't dare to do it again."

This is my first time doing this, please."

As he said this, he cried loudly, and his tears turned into worthless copper coins, which fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Gu Tian reluctantly let go of his hand.

At this time, many people had gathered to watch and point.

He gave a helpless smile.

He didn't need to listen to know that the people around him were saying bad things about him, such as bullying children.

He had no choice but to keep a straight face and said with a tigerish face: "Shut up, if you dare to cry, I will beat you up now."

Perhaps Gu Tian's threats had an effect, and the crying finally stopped and turned into choked sobs.

He nodded with satisfaction and said: "I'll let you go this time.

If you let me see you again, it won't be so easy.

Do you understand?"

The child nodded vigorously with his eyes red from crying.

After Gu Tian waved his hand to let him leave, the child disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that there was no good show to watch, the people around dispersed in twos and threes and continued to do their own things.

Gu Tian did not go directly to the North Gate, but followed the child until he saw the child walking into a small courtyard, then turned around and walked towards the North Gate again.

When we arrived at the North City Gate, it was getting dark, and the city gate was filled with people returning from the city.

Soon, the night was dotted with stars and shrouded the earth.

It was getting late.

He was going to find an inn here to rest for a night and leave Tianshan City after dawn.

He turned around and wanted to go back to an inn he saw while passing by on the road.

The inn is very close to the North City Gate, and you can clearly see the soldiers guarding the gate from upstairs.

The moment he turned around, he felt something hard hit his chest.

He lowered his head and took a look, and his face was suddenly covered with frost.

I saw that a black arm had already reached into the place where I had placed the silver coins.

If I hadn't happened to notice it when I turned around, I'm afraid the silver coins would have been successfully taken away by the owner of this black arm.

Gu Tian reached out and grabbed the arm, threw it forward, and a black shadow appeared beside him.

With a snap, a figure appeared on the ground and lay on the ground
