chapter xvii - the black-hearted merchant

　　Tai He Tang. 　　Zhongjiang City's largest traditional Chinese medicine store, Yun Su asked Qin Lin to buy herbs, and Qin Lin had no place to go, so he could only come to the pharmacy to try his luck. 　　Now that it was just after lunch, the pharmacy's business was relatively quiet, with only a few people scattered about. 　　Arriving in front of the counter displaying high-grade medicinal herbs, Qin Lin swept his eyes, and a brown colored Lingzhi instantly entered his line of sight. 　　Yun Su had said that it was best for medicinal herbs to have spiritual energy permeating them, Qin Lin did not know about medicinal herbs, this Lingzhi plant, despite its unimpressive appearance, had spiritual energy permeating it, it should be a treasure that could not be compared to other mundane medicinal herbs. 　　Thinking of this Qin Lin placed his gaze on the medicine store fellow and asked, "What is the price of this lingzhi?" 　　"No insight, this Lingzhi is called Tai Xuanzhi, harvested from the cliff face, priced at half a million dollars, can you afford it you?" 　　When he took a look at Qin Lin's clothes, the pharmacy fellow lost interest and said with disdain. 　　Qin Lin's body is now only half a million dollars, have not even warmed up to let him take out all, then he is not going to drink the northwest wind to go? 　　No hesitation, he felt out of his pocket checks and pens, brush brush wrote down a word number, slapped on the counter above: "three hundred thousand, I bought, line I will take, not even if." 　　"OK, you wait." 　　Seeing Qin Lin signing the check so painfully, the pharmacy fellow was happy in his heart, he felt that Qin Lin couldn't afford to buy it before he quoted a random price, he didn't think that Qin Lin would be willing to pay 300,000, deducting the original selling price of this medicinal herb, he could definitely make a big profit. 　　Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth were almost raised to the roots of his ears. 　　Just as Qin Lin turned around with the herbs and was ready to leave, suddenly the fellow muttered in a low voice, "Hmph, country bumpkin, yesterday's 1,000 collected garbage turned around and sold for 300,000 dollars, and thought he had picked up a treasure!" 　　"Huh?" 　　Even though the pharmacy fellow spoke in a small voice, what kind of person was Qin Lin? He heard it clearly. 　　His face sank as Qin Lin returned to the counter. 　　"Just now, you said that this Lingzhi of mine was collected by you for a thousand?" Qin Lin questioned. 　　"This store is not responsible for herbs leaving the counter, even if it was collected by a thousand, that has nothing to do with you." The pharmacy fellow responded in a condescending manner. 　　"Simply a black store!" 　　Hearing these words, Qin Lin slapped his hand on the solid wood counter, the counter was overwhelmed and split apart in an instant, frightening the medicine store fellow to a white color. 　　"Tai He Tang was founded more than a hundred years ago, hanging pots to help the world, treating the sick and saving people with immense merit, now I didn't expect it to be a black store that only recognizes money but not people, a thousand collected medicine, selling it for three hundred thousand, treating the customers as ingrates? Or feel self-possessed, look down on us mortals?" Qin Lin chided. 　　"How dare you break my counter?" 　　The owner of the medicine store who rushed out at this time saw the solid wood counter that was shattered all over the place, his face changed, and he immediately became furious. 　　"Your Taihe Hall rips off customers without recognizing them, smashing your counter is considered light." Qin Lin said coldly. 　　"Good you thug, the material of my counter is Hainan incense wood, I spent a high price to ask the top carpentry masters to do it specially, it is worth up to ten million dollars, if you don't pay for it today, you won't be able to step out of Taihe Hall!" The boss threatened. 　　Hearing this, Qin Lin's anger grew into a smile, Taihe Hall as the largest Chinese medicine store in Zhongjiang City, they were such a shady store, it really opened Qin Lin's eyes. 　　"How dare you ask me to pay for damages, do you believe that I will smash your entire store today?" Qin Lin's voice went cold. 　　"Haha." Hearing this, the boss also laughed fiercely and said, "In Zhongjiang City, the person who dares to smash my store hasn't been born yet, who are you?" 　　After saying this, he grabbed the medicine mill not far away and smashed it towards Qin Lin's head. 　　Knowing that the medicine mill is made of iron, once smashed on a person's head, the consequences are unimaginable. 　　Between the flashes of lightning and fire, Qin Lin picked up a piece of broken wood on the ground and struck down towards the pharmacy owner's shoulder. 　　The speed of his strike was very fast, and the force was not small, the owner of the pharmacy had already been hit before he could react. 　　Ka-chow! 　　The wooden block snapped with a sound, and the pharmacy owner also let Qin Lin knock over on the ground, letting out a miserable scream, his collarbone had already been broken by Qin Lin's smash. 　　"You wait for me, I'm going to make you disappear in Zhongjiang City tomorrow." The boss showed his teeth and threatened. 　　"I hate people threatening me the most in my life, the world is going downhill, I didn't realize that Tai He Tang has turned into a triad now." After saying that Qin Lin kicked him on his right leg, making his screams louder, his leg was broken. 　　"Kid, I'm going to make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow!" The drugstore owner roared hideously. 　　"Tomorrow is tomorrow's business, we're not done with today's business." Qin Lin's eyes were cold, and then he kicked the boss's left leg, and immediately, a pig-killing scream came out of the drugstore boss's mouth, and his left leg was broken. 　　"You Tai He Tang's thousand collected herbs turn around and sell me three hundred thousand dollars, the mental damage fee plus personal threats, don't you think it should be worth a million dollars?" 　　"I won't give you a dime!" 　　"Ah!" 　　Before he could finish his words, the pharmacy owner once again experienced a tragic scream as Qin Lin's foot stepped on his broken leg. 　　"What did you just say, I didn't hear you." 　　"I'll pay for it, I said pay for it." Truly scared by Qin Lin, at this moment, the owner of the pharmacy conceded. 　　Getting the check written out by the owner's hand, Qin Lin then let go of the other party and said, "Wouldn't it have been over earlier?" 　　"Well played." 　　Just stepping out of the door of Taihe Hall, Qin Lin collided head-on with two people, an old and a young, the young one was as old as a flower, overflowing with youthful vigor, a tall beautiful woman, and the person who was speaking at the moment was her. 　　Qin Lin laughed before saying, "Tai He Tang bullies people too much, treating its customers as a money tree, it has long since lost the backbone of that year, and still hangs the signboard of 'saving the dead and helping the injured', it's really a great irony." 　　"In my opinion, this kind of black store is better to burn it down with a fire." The woman coldly snorted. 　　"Wushuang, don't fool around!" 　　At this time, the old man next to the tall beauty chided, and just after the words were said, he coughed violently, accompanied by spasms in his body, and his breathing became rapid. 　　Seeing this scene Qin Lin was puzzled in his heart, he was a cultivator, he could perceive that these two were martial artists, aren't martial artists all strong and invulnerable to all diseases? How come this old man looked sickly? 　　Subconsciously Qin Lin utilized his Soul Regeneration technique, a normal person has three souls and seven vampires, but when he observed the old man, he found that one of the three souls and seven vampires of the old man was missing, and there was a black gas diffusing in his brow. 　　"Did the old man suffer any injuries in the past? I see that your face is as pale as paper, your seal is black, and your eyes are sunken, so it seems like you have had some unusual encounter." Qin Lin asked. 　　"Alas." Hearing this the old man sighed before saying, "Back then I was attacked by an enemy, ever since I was healed I have suffered from a hidden disease, from time to time I have headaches and brain pains, I can't sleep at night, for so many years I have listened to the ideas of countless famous doctors and masters, and I have collected a lot of heavenly herbs and treasures, but the disease has not gotten better, and I have only been able to rely on nutrients to maintain it, I am afraid that I don't have a lot of time left to live. " 　　"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense." Hearing this, the woman beside him immediately stomped her foot and said. 　　The speaker had no intention of listening, Qin Lin had only inquired about this old man unintentionally, not realizing that his family actually had many heavenly materials and treasures. 　　Now that Qin Lin's hands were tight and he couldn't afford to buy more herbs, he might be able to start with this old man. 　　Thinking of this Qin Lin's expression moved and said, "Old sir, I learned a little bit of medicine a few years ago, can you let me give it a try?" 　　"Brat, you can look after a problem that various divine doctors can't?" The woman called Wushuang said disdainfully. 　　"That's because you haven't met me!" Qin Lin replied. 　　"You ......" The woman called Wushuang was furious. 　　"Since little brother has the heart, let's give it a try." 　　At this time, the old man opened his mouth, his mentality was quite optimistic, his problem had deteriorated beyond repair, he himself was about to give up hope, so what was the harm in letting Qin Lin try? 　　Qin Lin and the three of them were still talking at the entrance of the medicine store, while at this moment inside the medicine store, the owner of the medicine store was already hiding behind the counter and making a phone call. 　　"Hey, help me deal with someone, cut off his hands and feet and I'll offer you half a million dollars." 　　If he dared to break his hands and feet, then he would dare to make Qin Lin spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed, Qin Lin had offended this Taihe Hall boss to death this time.
