Chapter 46 Slave Market

After buying this horse with 76% experience, Hua Kai seemed to have good luck. A horse owner only wanted 1 gold and 20 silver for a third-level 12% horse, and he accepted it without saying a word.

Before he left the stall, he saw another strong horse that was almost upgraded in physique. The owner only wanted 90 silver, and Hua Kai got it again.

It only took 2 hours. When Hua Kai saw another strong horse he wanted to take, his grandfather Hua Xing had to remind him that he had bought 14 horses.

The best of these 14 horses was a third-level 93%. It cost 55 gold and only lacked speed to become a BMW. Hua Kai only needed to spend 1 family luck value to upgrade it.

The other two horses had third-level 76% and 74% experience respectively. They cost 38 gold and 33 gold respectively. To upgrade, at least three [Family Secret Space] trials are required.

There are 7 other horses that cost only 1.1 gold on average to buy. The 4 strong horses are almost upgraded in physique, and their speed and spirituality are very good.

A total of 139 gold was spent, and Hua Kai had only 8 gold left. If he spent more, he might not be able to go to the Xiongnu Kingdom!

Bring the horses back to the caravan, there is still some time before dark. Hua Kai upgraded the horse with 93% experience of the horse he just bought, so that after he upgraded the four strong horses, the Hua family caravan will have 2 BMWs and 56 horses, which is enough for three horses to pull a carriage in rotation.

On the second day, Hua Kai got up early in the morning to upgrade the last strong horse. Thinking that there are so many horses waiting for him to choose in the market, Hua Kai was itching to do it, but he only had 8 gold left and had to leave the caravan for emergency. If he wanted to buy more horses, he could only sell goods.

"The quality of the horses in Xiongnu is much better than that of Linhu, and the price is much cheaper. It is enough for 52 of us to have one horse per person." Hua Xing saw that Hua Kai was determined to buy horses, so he persuaded him.

Hua Kai accepted his grandfather's advice and decided not to go to the horse market anymore. It was better not to do anything out of the ordinary at this time, so as to avoid being noticed by some people with ulterior motives and causing hatred to the Hua family.

Not buying a horse does not mean staying in the tent all the time. The next day, Hua Kai went to the grain, cloth, tea, and salt markets with his grandfather, uncle Wu, and Yu Jun to check the prices. The price of ordinary goods here is about three times that of Guangxian City. Hua Kai also saw a lot of spiritual medicines and strange stones for sale here.

He only regretted that he was short of money. Hua Kai was jealous but had no choice. When he returned from the Xiongnu Kingdom, the Guangxian Merchants Group still had to go to the Aohan Tribe. Hua Kai only hoped that these strange stones and spiritual medicines would still be there when they came back.

It rained heavily in the afternoon. The rain was heavy, but the sun came out again in the afternoon. Hua Kai left the tent and breathed the fresh air of the grassland. His grandfather would take him to the slave market in the afternoon.

Slave trading is legal in all countries of the grassland. The slaves of the Aohan tribe are all prisoners of war captured in tribal battles. The major tribes belonging to the Linhu Kingdom are also fighting constantly. When a tribe is destroyed, women and children will become prisoners of the victors, even their children.

Of course, most of them are ordinary people captured by the Aohan tribe from the Central Plains. The Aohan tribe is adjacent to the Wei Kingdom. They often go to the border of the Wei Kingdom to capture Central Plains craftsmen and farmers and bring them back to graze for them. The people of the Central Plains are gentle and rarely resist, which makes Central Plains slaves very popular in the grassland.

When Hua Kai came to the slave market, he was very resistant. He saw a group of people in thin clothes squatting around the tent with dull eyes. The slave owner saw Hua Kai and others coming and happily told them how good his slaves were.

The slave market is very large, not much different from the horse market. Hua Kai roughly estimated that there are more than 20,000 slaves here. Most of the people who choose to buy slaves here are from the tribes of the grassland. He asked about the price of slaves. Ordinary slaves in the Qi Condensation Realm can be bought for only 5 taels of silver, which is not as valuable as a calf.

Walking outside a tent, Hua Kai saw that the slaves here were all tall, and many of them were above the Body Tempering Realm.

"Boss, where did this slave come from? He looks pretty good!" Hua Kai took the initiative to talk to the slave owner for the first time when he arrived at the slave market, because he found that there was a teenager with A- qualification among the slaves. The teenager looked only 15 or 16 years old. Although his clothes were tattered, his eyes still had some spirit.

"Sir, you have good eyesight. We are from the Huyan tribe of Xiaoyue Country. These slaves were captured from the Qin State. After at least two years of training, they can graze and farm. If you give them weapons and let them help you fight, there will be no problem." The slave owner happily introduced Hua Kai and others.

"How do I buy this teenager?" Hua Kai pointed at the A- qualification teenager and asked.

"Sir, you have good eyesight. This teenager is only 16 years old and has already reached the Body Tempering Realm 3. If he is well trained, he may enter the Qi Dynamic Realm in the future. If you really want it, 30 gold will be given to you." The slave owner said.

30 gold for a 16-year-old who has reached the third level of the Body Tempering Realm is not expensive at all. Hua Kai looked at the boy and found that he had not practiced any mental skills or martial arts.

Not having martial arts and mental skills does not mean that one cannot practice. This world has sufficient spiritual energy, and even if one does nothing, one's strength will slowly increase. Just like many small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland, they have never practiced mental skills. Their combat effectiveness is derived from actual fighting.

"This price is too expensive! What about those?" Hua Kai pointed to several stronger slaves around the boy. They were all in the Body Tempering Realm and protected the boy in the center.

"These are 15 gold for the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm and 10 gold for the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm. If you really want the price, we can talk about it, but the minimum price cannot be less than 30 gold!" The slave owner pointed at the boy and said.

Even if Hua Kai did not want this boy, a noble family would definitely buy him after a few days when more caravans arrived, because no noble family would dislike this kind of genius slave.

After a long walk in the slave market, Hua Kai found 4 slaves with qualifications above A-. The main price of the slaves was probably more than 30 gold. Only an 8-year-old boy with A qualifications was only in the 4th level of Qi Condensation, and the seller asked for 5 gold.

When he returned to the tent at night, Hua Kai couldn't let go of the slaves in the market. As long as he spent dozens of gold to buy these slaves home, the Hua family would have a group of Qi Dynamic Realm masters in a few years. If he trained them carefully, it was possible to become Qi Training Realm and Xiantian Realm. Although Qi State did not allow slaves to exist, there were caravans buying slaves to take home every year. Such slaves were much easier to train than ordinary servants.

Lying on the bed, Hua Kai kept thinking about how to raise some money. After tomorrow, when he returned from the Xiongnu State, these slaves might be bought by other tribes or caravans.

Looking at the family's luck value, which had risen to 197 points, Hua Kai remembered the spiritual medicine he saw in the medicinal material market today. Maybe he could refine some pills tomorrow, so that the funds he was worried about would not be lacking.

Thinking of this, Hua Kai decided to do it. As long as he did it a little more covertly, he would have no problem making a fortune in this market.

The next morning, Hua Kai took Yu Jun to wander around the medicinal materials and strange stone market. He quietly wrote down all the spiritual medicines, and then returned to the tent to carefully compare them with the prescriptions in the [Family Secret Space].

He found that there were as many as 6 kinds of pills that could be refined with these spiritual medicines, and the easiest one to refine was.

[Pei Yuan Dan]: Second-grade ordinary pill

Refining materials required: 1 100-year-old licorice, 15 grams of blood red flower, 5 grams of auxiliary medicine deer antler, 5 grams of wolfsbane flower...

Efficacy: Tonify the body, nourish the meridians and improve physical fitness, and have the effect of improving physical fitness and strength. It is ineffective for people above the Xiantian realm!

The family luck value required for refining is 2 points.

This [Pei Yuan Dan] also increases the body's essence, which has a great effect on both the elderly and the young. The two spiritual medicines used in [Pei Yuan Dan] are relatively common in the market, and the price is less than 100 gold, and the prescription is also easy to find.

Hua Kai asked the butler to push two carriages outside his tent, which meant that there were things for sale here. Soon someone came up to ask about the price of fine wine.

Guangxian fine wine should be sold at least 6 silver per catty in the Aohan tribe. Soon, most of the large jar of fine wine was sold. At this time, a man who looked like a manager led a team of people and asked for all the fine wine of the Hua family.

Hua Kai knew that they were people from the Aohan tribe, so of course he would not sell all the fine wine to them. After selling 6 jars of wine to them and adding the half jar he just sold, the Hua family caravan now only had 8 jars of fine wine, and he also had 110 gold in his hands.

Let grandpa go to the spiritual medicine market to buy all the medicinal materials needed for [Peiyuan Pill], which cost a total of 93 gold. The spiritual medicine on the grassland is much cheaper than that in Guangxian. If it were in Guangxian, it would cost at least 300 gold to collect all the medicinal materials for [Peiyuan Pill].

After getting the medicinal materials, Hua Kai returned to the tent and entered the [Family Secret Space]. It took only a few minutes in the [Alchemy Room] to successfully refine a furnace of [Peking Yuan Pills].

This furnace of [Peking Yuan Pills] refined 6 pills, each of which had a smooth and full surface and smelled of a strong medicinal fragrance.

Hua Kai called his fifth uncle Hua Zichen and asked him to take a pill to the depths of the Aohan tribe to find a buyer.

The Aohan tribe is also composed of many families. It is impossible for all of them to have a close relationship with the Han family. Because the grassland has a rare practice of Qi and the inheritance of martial arts and mental methods is not as important as in the Central Plains, there are very few masters of the Xiantian realm here, and there are no alchemists.

Therefore, pills are very rare for grassland people. Even in large tribes, people often take spiritual medicines directly, so the efficacy of the medicine is less absorbed and the body often has some side effects.

Hua Zichen went out and came back when it was almost dark.

"I found a big family in the Aohan tribe for the elixir as you said. The other party saw the elixir and had to try it before paying." Hua Zichen said as he took out 200 gold.

This price was carefully considered by Hua Kai. Since he left the [Family Secret Space], he has also studied elixirs. [Peking Yuan Pill] is the most common elixir on the mainland. In Linzi City, one pill costs about 150 gold. The quality of Hua Kai's elixir must be better than ordinary elixirs. Selling it for 200 gold is not expensive at all.

"There are 5 pills left. Uncle Wu, you can take one later! In the future, the family will rely more on your combat power. You will enter the middle stage of Qi training earlier after taking [Peking Yuan Pill]. "

That's right, Hua Zichen rose from the second level of Qi training to the third level of Qi training in one month. A+ level talent is so terrifying.

"No, it's better to sell it quickly than to give it to me now. With the money, we can go to the market to buy spiritual medicine. When the time comes, you can refine the pill and give it to me!" Hua Zichen had never taken the pill before. He also wanted to feel the legendary effect of the pill, but he thought about it and said.

"Then Uncle Wu, be careful. Sell all the pills today and leave quickly tomorrow. I believe that even if the Han family finds out, they will not believe that the pills are made by us." Hua Kai thought about it and said.

Alchemists must have a strength of at least Qi training level. If the Han family knew that the Hua family was selling pills, they would only think that the Hua family was working for an alchemist and would not dare to embarrass the Hua family.

Hua Kai gave all 5 pills to his uncle. He took the gold given by his uncle and went to the slave market with his grandfather. He bought all the slaves with A- or higher qualifications that he liked, and then bought 16 young and strong slaves with B- or higher qualifications. If they practiced mental skills and martial arts at the Hua family, their combat power would be improved quickly.

The 200 gold coins were spent as soon as they were received. When we returned to the caravan tent, Uncle Wu had already returned.

"Kai'er, the Niu Banner Master may suspect that we have a relationship with the alchemist. We gave 1,100 gold coins for 5 pills. They also asked me if I have any healing pills. They will trade with us with horses." Hua Zichen said as he took out 11 gold bricks. These 1,100 gold coins are 110 kilograms of gold, which he could easily carry.

Tomorrow is the day to leave. With 1,100 gold coins in his arms, Hua Kai is itching to go. He asked Yu Jun to take the gold to the spiritual medicine and strange stone market. Fortunately, everyone here lives in the market, so they can trade as usual at night.

The most expensive medicine Hua Kai asked Yu Jun to buy was called [Ice Fire Dragon Scale Fruit]. It was a third-grade spiritual fruit. Only in some special places of luck could the Ice Fire Dragon Scale Tree grow under the cultivation of monsters, so it took a lot of luck to get each [Ice Fire Dragon Scale Fruit]. The other party asked for 800 gold for this [Ice Fire Dragon Scale Fruit], which happened to be the highest-grade elixir that could be refined by the spiritual medicine in the market in the [Alchemy Room].

[Blood Dragon Pill]: 7th-grade ordinary pill

Refining materials required: main medicine 1 Ice Fire Dragon Scale Fruit, 3 Blood Red Flowers, 10 grams of Buddha Flame Root, 2 grams of Sand Mandragora. Secondary medicine 20 grams of Bai Shou Wu, 10 grams of Wolf Mushroom Grass...

Efficacy: After taking it, the blood in the whole body boils, and the physical fitness increases by 2 to 4 points within a month (the amount of improvement depends on personal qualifications, age, and cultivation). The weak should take it with caution!

The family luck value required for refining is 7 points.

The refining of this [Blood Dragon Pill] actually requires four kinds of spiritual medicines, and as many as 31 kinds of auxiliary medicines. Hua Kai didn't know whether 1100 gold could buy the herbs needed to refine the [Blood Dragon Pill]. If this pill could be successfully refined, the family's high-level combat strength would be greatly improved. Grandpa, fifth uncle, and Yu Jun's strength were all stuck in their physique.

Without letting Hua Kai wait for long, Yu Jun hurried back before dinner. In fact, the seller didn't know the value of this spiritual medicine. After discussing with him, Yu Jun not only bought back the herbs needed for [Blood Dragon Pill], but also bought 3 sets of herbs for refining [Peking Yuan Pill].
