Chapter 80 The Boy Selling at the Stall 1

  "I'm going to refine the elixir!" Xiang Yao went to the refining room, and the Fourth Prince originally wanted to stop him, but with Da Xiaojie and Ke Xin Gongzhu present, he didn't dare to be overbearing anymore.

  However, the fourth prince proposed some conditions for exchange, but what he said was only the conditions that he thought were already very high.

  "You refine one furnace for me, and I'll give you 100 taels!!"

  "Thanks, no time!"

  ……

  Nowadays, the high-grade elixir that Xiao Yao is refining, if one furnace comes out and the effect is good, it's not just 100 taels, even 10,000 taels will be snatched up by people.

  And he no longer intended to refine the kind of elixir he had before, because Gu Xing didn't need it anymore and neither did he. Apart from giving some to Chi Chi as sugar beans, they were completely useless to him now.

  Later, with the high-grade elixir as his backing, Lone Star's progress speed at that time was absolutely soaring to the sky!!

  Although it's said that Guxing hasn't reached the boundary of using high-grade elixirs yet, Xiangyao believes this time isn't far off, and can be described in four words - imminent arrival is expected!!

  At that time, the fourth prince was just an ant!!!! A pitiful ant!!!!!

  ……

  "Fortune-telling, medical treatment, Feng Shui, performing arts, selling strength, selling tonics..."

  In the imperial capital of the New Moon Empire, this is a famous night market in the commoner district. It was originally a small square, but after many years of development, it has become a unique landscape of the New Moon Imperial Capital.

  Here, all sorts of people from the three teachings and nine streams, as well as eccentric individuals from the jianghu, may appear. And because of this, some people who really can't find a way out also come here to try their luck. Among these people are not a few who are of high status and have great wealth.

  The more it is like this, the more lively it becomes here, and more and more people gather here, because there are many opportunities here, if not to stand out from the crowd, at least to make a living.

  In a place like this, phrases like the one at the beginning are common, with someone shouting them almost every moment, but they were always separate, never combined together, until now someone shouted out such a slogan.

  This is a new street vendor who just set up his stall in the past few days, and the owner of the stall is a young boy, extremely young, looking like he's not even eighteen yet.

  That's why everyone doesn't believe in his slogans at all, and the price given by this young man is not low either. It costs one or two silver coins to have a fortune-telling session, ten silver coins for Feng Shui, and one silver coin for medical diagnosis, but it does not include treatment, only diagnosis.

  A Great Power Pill costs ten taels of silver, claiming to cure all diseases and strengthen the body. But who dares try it? Even if someone wants to try, this price is too expensive.

  He said he can do anything for a living, one or two silver coins per hour, and physical labor is the same, it's all about selling his strength!!

  When this young man was setting up his stall, he kept holding a book and looking at it. He occasionally shouted out a slogan, but if the slogan wasn't special, really no one would have remembered it. Although he had written a banner with his slogan on it, the banner wasn't big and the font wasn't large either. You had to notice him first in order to see this banner, or coincidentally catch a glimpse of it.

  Is this still a business? Or is some rich kid playing around here?

  "Little brother, are you just playing around with this stall?!" said a middle-aged man who was selling nuts at a nearby stall. He had been paying attention to the young boy for several days now, and it would be strange if such an unusual stall didn't attract any attention.

  At the same time, this young man often buys his nuts to eat, such as almonds and walnuts.

  Moreover, there is sometimes a small demon beast beside this young man. It looks cute and can be raised by wealthy families. Poor people can't even afford to eat, let alone raise pets.

  Moreover, the clothes on this young man's body are not what ordinary people wear. The materials and workmanship are very good, just the workmanship alone must have cost a lot of money.

  On this continent, the tailor's craftsmanship is worth more than the fabric, and the work of cutting and sewing is valued more than the fabric itself. Of course, a good tailor will not use very poor materials.

  It's just like this, everyone feels even more that this young man is like a rich family's young master coming out to play.

  "No way! Although I'm here to make some extra money temporarily, I'm very serious about it!" The young man put down his book and looked very serious, making it impossible for anyone to doubt his sincerity.

  But still, the middle-aged man did not believe it, because this matter itself was unbelievable.

  "You're saying it seriously, then you should take what you're good at seriously. You can't go on like this," the middle-aged man reminded kindly.

  "I'm just doing what I know how to do, otherwise how can I run a business?" The young man corrected.

  "...you said you know all that's written on this?" The middle-aged man fell silent for a moment, then asked blankly, and immediately his face showed disbelief.

  "Yeah, I can! Though I don't dare say it's the best, but I'm pretty good." The young man replied, adding another sentence.

  "Oh, I see... " The middle-aged man seemed to understand that it's difficult to master all these things, but if you know a little bit of each, it's not hard. In this place, many people know a little bit of everything, but aren't proficient in anything.

  If it's like this, then the slogan can be understood and there is no need to find it strange anymore.

  "Boss, buy some pine nuts!"

  "He's coming..."

  The middle-aged man's business arrived, and he no longer paid attention to the young man. The young man started reading again, which was also a strange thing about him - every day he carried a bag of books with him, and every day he read books.

  It's great that you like reading books. You can read as much as you want in one evening, and bringing one or two books a day is enough. Do you need to bring such a big bag?

  "Physiognomy, medical examination, Feng Shui..."

  A passing girl stopped for a moment when she saw this flag. She looked at the boy and smiled slightly from the corner of her mouth.

  "Hey, hey, come quick and take a look at this stall, it's really interesting..."

  "What?! What?!"

  At the girl's summons, a group of young men and women gathered in front of the previous boy's stall, and a group of young men and women were dressed up as wealthy and noble people, should be the children of the city's dignitaries, and generally those who can be in the imperial capital, I believe their identities will not be too low.

  These young masters and ladies have a reputation here, as they often appear to play, offending them will be miserable, but those who can get rewards can make some small fortune, risk and opportunity coexist.

  So for this group of people, everyone is both loving and hating, but also won't go to reject, even hoping they come to find themselves, most people will think that they will be lucky!

  It's precisely because of this that when the crowd saw these people gathering around the young man's stall, what they expressed first was not sympathy, but a kind of jealousy. They were all thinking, why didn't this group come near their own place.

  Then they all started cursing in their hearts, cursing the young man. This group of people came to make trouble!!

  People will always be jealous and envious, if they can't get something themselves, they will curse others to not get it either, otherwise their mentality will be very unbalanced, even unbearable!

  Just think about it carefully, is this a loss for them?

  This is one of human nature, and there are not many people who can let go!!

  "Excuse me, are you here to have your fortune told, get a medical check-up or have your feng shui read?" The young man looked at the girl sitting in front of him, put down his book and asked with a smile, very politely.

  "Pshaw, you've only just come to see me when I'm ill!!" The young girl spat out, her face bearing a faintly angry expression. However, this somehow made her seem even more adorable, causing the middle-aged man selling nuts on the side to become infatuated for a moment.

  "Hehe, sorry! First time doing this business, a bit tongue-tied." The young man rubbed his head and smiled foolishly.

  "It's okay if you're not eloquent, but don't be brainless too. I'll let you diagnose my illness, can you really do it?" The girl said disdainfully, clearly thinking that the boy's stall was a flashy but useless thing, and that he couldn't possibly accomplish what was written on the sign.

  "Anything, as long as I can!" The young man replied with a classic phrase, causing the people around him to first be stunned and then burst out laughing.

  "Haha, yeah, you can do what you want to do, and you can't do what you don't want to do!" The girl started laughing, laughing so hard that she was radiant, as if she had heard the most hilarious joke, or maybe this was just the most hilarious thing that had ever happened to her.

  The girl's smile was a bit exaggerated, but it didn't hinder her cuteness and beauty at all. The middle-aged uncle on the side became even more infatuated!!

  Don't mention the middle-aged uncle, even those young masters who came with the girl are infatuated. They haven't seen this girl's smile for a long time, at least not such a smile for a long time.

  Although they thought the young man in front of them might be a scammer, they also felt that he had done something pretty good!

  "Uh-huh!" The young man nodded in agreement, naturally acknowledging what was said above.

  “……”

  Everyone was speechless at the same time, and this young man was also very interesting. Others' words were obviously sarcastic, but he nodded and acknowledged them as if answering a very ordinary question.

  "It's interesting, let me try it first!" A young master smiled and came to the stall, looking at the youth.

  "Good!" The girl known as Xia Ai stood up and gave her seat to the young master.

  "This young master, which one would you like to try?" the youth asked, not minding his tone, which clearly looked down on his level!

  Maybe this young man just mixed a mouthful of food, maybe this young man was just playing around, maybe...

  "As for the first look, how do I look?" The young master said nonchalantly.

  "Let me take a look!" The young man didn't start right away, but instead asked for money first, which was his usual practice.

  "..., okay, here's five taels, I don't have any change!" The young master was taken aback for a moment, then somewhat reluctantly handed over the money. He had previously thought that Xiangyang was quite good, but only in the sense that he could derive pleasure from that little sorrow.

  "Five taels, and I'll give you a complete fortune-telling!" The young man put the five taels of silver into his bag and said calmly.

  This is outrageous! I've made a profit of five taels, it's really unfair!!
