With this in mind, her steps sped up.

After walking for a while, Lin Xiaoye raised her head and saw a sign board hanging above her head that had the words 'Good Harmony Hall' written on it. This was the place.

Lin Xiaoye lifted her foot and walked in. There were no customers in the herbal medicine shop and she only saw the shop assistant sorting things out.

"Mister shop assistant is your shopkeeper here?"

The shop assistant yawned and looked over. He was startled and almost gasped for air.

"So ugly, so ugly..."

Lin Xiaoye raised her hand and touched her face.

Alas, this face is indeed a bit scary. She could understand this shop assistant for being scared like this. It would be better if she had something to cover her face for a while.

Lin Xiaoye thought about it and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She immediately tore off a piece of cloth from her waist and tied it around her face, which was equivalent to a veil.

Although this piece of cloth really couldn't compare with the smooth veil.

"Mister shop assistant, I'm asking you a question."

Only then did the shop assistant look over. When he saw that she had covered half her face and was much less frightening than before, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"You can ask me if you want to buy some medicine, just give me the prescription."

"I'm not here to buy, I'm here to discuss business with your storekeeper."

The shop assistant was shocked, "You're here to talk about business? With just you?"

Lin Xiaoye straightened her body: "What? Can't I have something good right now?"

With that, Lin Xiaoye took off the basket and held it in her hands.

The shop assistant immediately stretched out his neck to take a peek at what was in the basket, while Lin Xiaoye immediately blocked it. This looked very precious.

The shop assistant could only pout his lips in boredom.

"Look at yourself, what kind of precious things can you possibly have? Let's wait and see!"

Lin Xiaoye rolled her eyes at him.

To judge a person by his appearance? Humph, this grandma is a descendant from a Traditional Chinese Medicine Aristocratic Family. It was just a matter of time. Once this grandma was cured, I will scare them to death!

"Shopkeeper, she said that she has something precious and wants to discuss business with you."

The shop assistant came out with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man wearing a sapphire blue outer coat. He was neither fat nor thin, but he had a face full of good fortune, but the most eye-catching thing was the jade thumb ring on his left hand.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Lin Xiaoye.

"May I ask what good things you have?"

Lin Xiaoye glanced at him, but her manner was polite.

"Are you the shopkeeper here? Can you make the decision?"

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded his head: "Don't worry, Miss. As long as it is a good treasure, I will definitely give you a reasonable price."

"Alright then. Take a look at this and see how much it's worth." Lin Xiaoye took out the scorpion from the basket.

Shopkeeper Zhang immediately held the scorpion in his palm and squinted his eyes to take a closer look at it under the sunlight.

The shop assistant immediately moved closer to take a look.

"Isn't this a scorpion? I thought it was some treasure."

"Treasure! What a good treasure!"

Just as the shop assistant finished speaking, Shopkeeper Zhang's surprised exclamation came out. The shop assistant was instantly at a loss.

"Shopkeeper, isn't this just a scorpion? Is it really that precious?"

Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand: "You have to read more medicinal books. You only know how to be lazy every day. This scorpion is not an ordinary scorpion. Look at its body, it's already half the size of a palm and judging from its color, an ordinary scorpion can only live for 5 to 7 years at most. However, this scorpion has lived for at least 10 years!"

Lin Xiaoye smiled, "Shopkeeper Zhang has great eyesight. This scorpion is indeed a rare treasure. Furthermore, look at the color of its tail. As long as you squeeze out the venom, it would be more valuable than the scorpion itself!"

Shopkeeper Zhang immediately squinted his eyes and took a careful look at the tail.

"Aiya, Miss is right. This venom is different from the venom of ordinary scorpions. If it were used in medicinal herbs, it would be a good thing!"

With that, Shopkeeper Zhang's gaze immediately darkened and he immediately looked at Lin Xiaoye.

"Miss, where did you get this scorpion?"

The corner of Lin Xiaoye's mouth curled up. How could she tell him something like that?

"Shopkeeper, please be at ease. I obtained this scorpion by accident. It came from a just way. Since you know what it is, you can give me a price."

Manager Zhang nodded.

This girl is not simple!

He immediately had a plan.

"Well, I'm only here talking to you because of this scorpion. How about I pay you twice the price of an ordinary scorpion?"

After he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly exclaimed: "Shun Zi, go to the account room and fetch four hundred copper coins for this Miss."

Lin Xiaoye's palm suddenly tightened.

Twice as ordinary scorpion? Did he really think she was a fool?

In this era, ordinary scorpions are all pure and natural. In the modern world, they could sell for over a thousand dollars per piece. Yet, in this place, there were only a few hundred copper coins?

At this time, the shop assistant, Shun Zi, was still unhappy: "Shopkeeper, isn't it just a scorpion? Can it really be sold for 400 copper coins?"

Just as Shopkeeper Zhang was giving him a meaningful glance, the corner of Lin Xiaoye's mouth hooked up.

"That's right, Shopkeeper Zhang. This scorpion isn't worth 400 copper coins."

Shopkeeper Zhang's palm suddenly emitted a cold feeling as he hurriedly rubbed it.

"Yes, yes, yes. This shop assistant of mine is not sensible and made Miss laugh. Then, according to Miss, how much does Miss think it should cost?"

Lin Xiaoye smiled, "Shopkeeper Zhang, you are a businessman, so naturally you should be the one to make the decision. I am a woman from a mountain village and I don't know much about business matters. If you really can't be sure, why don't I go to other herbal medicine shops and ask for the price first?"

After she said that, Lin Xiaoye prepared to take the scorpion.

Shopkeeper Zhang immediately became anxious and quickly used his hand to block it.

"Miss, you really know how to joke. Since you've brought all your things here, it's not good for other shopkeepers to see it."

Then, Shopkeeper Zhang pondered for a moment and continued: "How about this, the scorpion you sent over is indeed a good item. But as you can see, we're only a small shop here, so I'll give you a reasonable price. How about one tael of silver?"

One tael of silver? This was still a bit off from her budget. Everyone said that there was no profit to business if there was no deceit. Seemed like if she didn't teach this shopkeeper a lesson, he wouldn't give up.

With this in mind, Lin Xiaoye's palm tightened: "Shopkeeper, how would I not know about this treasure? I saw that your sign board was kind, so I came here first. If this business is done well, I'll come back again later. By then my treasures will have a place, right?"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang immediately stretched out his neck and lowered his voice.

"What other good stuff does Miss have?"

Lin Xiaoye smiled: "Of course there is something good. I just don't know if the shopkeeper is willing to accept it."

Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned and his gaze darkened. He quickly looked at Lin Xiaoye and his palm tightened up.

This girl is really mysterious!
