174: Chapter 174 Restoring Qi and Blood
However, as soon as he came into contact with this Foreign Merchant, Yun Chenfei was dumbfounded.
Because he discovered that he couldn't understand a single word the Foreign Merchant was saying.
The two sides had no common language.
Yun Chenfei gesticulated and spoke for a long time, but not only did he fail to convey his purpose, he also caused a misunderstanding with the Foreign Merchant.
The other party even thought Yun Chenfei was a fool.
"You... come here... is it to... sell things work?"
"I... just right... need... Your Excellency... items in... hand."
He thought that with his fluent Dongyang language, the other party would understand.
"Guji lulai, lixinong..."
Unexpectedly, this Foreign Merchant was clearly not from Dongyang.
"Crap, seeing as you're not only short but also look so ugly, I thought you were from Dongyang."
No matter how Yun Chenfei gestured or explained, the Foreign Merchant remained unmoved, constantly waving his hands to drive Yun Chenfei away.
The commotion the two of them made quickly caused a stir in the crowd.
Before long, a circle of onlookers gathered around them, and Yun Chenfei also noticed that Tu Weishan seemed to have taken notice of their side.
Just as Yun Chenfei was feeling anxious, thinking he was about to miss out on the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma.
At this moment, Zhao Hai, who had gone to help him buy some tonic, happened to return.
As soon as Zhao Hai arrived at Wangyue Pavilion, he was drawn over by the restless crowd.
Zhao Hai happened to witness this scene of Yun Chenfei and the Foreign Merchant trying to communicate across regions.
"It's over. Could it be that Tu Weishan just happens to understand the bird language this Foreign Merchant is jabbering, and he also happens to speak this foreign tongue?"
Seeing Tu Weishan walking over with a smile on his face, Yun Chenfei thought to himself.
"Taxili, houdemeng!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Yun Chenfei.
"Houda, houda!"
Hearing this, the Foreign Merchant hurriedly replied.
Immediately afterward, Zhao Hai began to converse with the Foreign Merchant in fluent bird language.
"This Zhao Hai can actually converse with this Foreign Merchant without any obstacles; he's truly a talented man!"
"Hahaha, Heaven is truly helping me!"
Seeing Zhao Hai and the Foreign Merchant not only talking and laughing but also quickly embracing each other, Yun Chenfei was secretly delighted.
With Zhao Hai acting as a translator, Yun Chenfei quickly reached a consensus with the Foreign Merchant.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the surrounding crowd dispersed in the blink of an eye.
"Strange, after this Foreign Merchant left with the others, why did an indescribable feeling suddenly rise in my heart?"
Watching the Foreign Merchant follow Yun Chenfei and Zhao Hai into a private room, Tu Weishan faintly felt as if he had suddenly lost something very important.
Under the enthusiastic greetings of others who had come to exchange items, Tu Weishan quickly pushed this matter to the back of his mind.
Inside the private room.
After clarifying Yun Chenfei's purpose, Zhao Hai relied on his years of experience as a merchant and his silver tongue.
In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he secured the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma for the price of five hundred taels of silver.
This scene directly stunned Yun Chenfei. One must know that if the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma were sold among Cultivators, it would be worth at least thousands of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
If he encountered someone with a special need, like Yun Chenfei now, even selling it for a high price of ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones was not entirely impossible.
Now that Zhao Hai had bought the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma, worth ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, for only five hundred taels of silver, how could Yun Chenfei not be pleasantly surprised?
Having just bought the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma from the Foreign Merchant, Yun Chenfei hurriedly left Wangyue Pavilion with Zhao Hai.
Staying a moment longer meant an extra bit of risk; he didn't want any extra complications.
In case Tu Weishan found out he had obtained the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma by questioning the Foreign Merchant later...
It was better to consume a rare high-grade ganoderma like this as soon as possible.
"Not bad, Old Zhao. I really didn't expect you to actually speak a bird language like this foreign tongue."
Carefully holding the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma, Yun Chenfei teased in a low voice.
"Haha!"
"Years ago, I once helped a Foreign Merchant and learned a little bit haphazardly from him. I've made a fool of myself in front of you, young man."
Zhao Hai said with a smile.
All along, Yun Chenfei had taken great care of the three of them. Now that he could help him, Zhao Hai was quite happy in his heart.
"You've done more than just learn a little bit; you're practically proficient."
"You've been a huge help to me today. Come, let's go buy some good wine and food, and the two of us will have a few drinks tonight."
When he saw Tu Weishan walking toward the Foreign Merchant with a smile, Yun Chenfei had basically given up hope of obtaining the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma.
Who would have thought that at this critical moment, Zhao Hai would suddenly appear and start talking to the Foreign Merchant right before Tu Weishan could?
This sudden unexpected turn of events truly left Yun Chenfei pleasantly surprised.
After several courses and three rounds of wine.
By this time, Zhao Hai had already collapsed on the table, unconscious from drink.
"Even if I have no cultivation now, I can't lose in a drinking match to a wretched old man in his twilight years."
Shaking his slightly dizzy head, Yun Chenfei then walked to his room.
After taking out the herbs Zhao Hai had helped him buy during the day, Yun Chenfei threw them all together and boiled them.
It wasn't that he didn't want to consume the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma directly, but rather that its medicinal properties were too violent for the current Yun Chenfei.
He could only first take some milder ordinary herbs to condition his weakened body before slowly consuming the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma.
A week later, Yun Chenfei's weakened body had finally recovered to the standard of a normal person.
He also began to insist on taking a little bit of the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma every day.
In the beginning, the violent medicinal properties of the seven-leaf golden sun ganoderma tortured Yun Chenfei half to death every time.
"Ah~!"
"Wu~!"
"Aow~!"
Every night, Zhao Hai and the others could hear Yun Chenfei's screams like a slaughtered pig.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with Big Brother?"
"He's been wailing like this for almost a month."
Wenwen and Lele asked in confusion.
"Big Brother is fine. You two should go to rest early."
Looking toward Yun Chenfei's room with concern, Zhao Hai spoke kindly.
"I really don't know what the young man is thinking, paying to suffer like this. His body is clearly already conditioned, yet he insists on eating that strange, unknown medicinal herb!"
"Do Young Masters from wealthy families all enjoy self-harm?"
"Do they all like to satisfy their own secret, special hobbies through the stimulation of external objects?"
After sending the two little ones away, Zhao Hai shook his head in confusion and then muttered to himself.
One wonders what kind of reaction Yun Chenfei would have if he heard these words.
