Chapter 519 Emerald Card
"I've been to Dongshan twice before. It's a really beautiful place with lots of great stuff, but the prices are a bit high," Chen Jia said proudly, glancing at Leng Yun as he mentioned the prices.
"Hey, what's price? It's all a small matter for you, Young Master Chen Jia," Liu Tianxiang said with a knowing smile.
Chen Jia was somewhat smug and secretly glanced at the Dragon Girl beside him.
However, the Dragon Girl was having a great time with Zhang Xiaoyu and paid no attention to Chen Jia.
“Although there are many people coming and going here, no one dares to cause trouble here, because the person protecting this place is the fat gatekeeper of the East Market,” Chen Jia said.
“Wow, I’ve heard of this person. I heard he has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, is very powerful, and no one dares to mess with him,” Zhang Xiaochun said.
Chen Jia nodded: "Moreover, the fat gatekeeper's boss is Lin Dong from the Alchemist Guild. He's a favorite of Elder Wang. Now you know how strong he is."
Leng Yun snorted. Even Old Wang treated him with utmost respect, so what was a mere fat doorman to him?
Seeing Leng Yun's appearance, Chen Jia thought Leng Yun was a frog in a well, unaware of Old Wang's reputation. So he shook his head and led the way towards the East Mountain gate.
There are several soldiers guarding the entrance to Dongshan. To enter Dongshan, you must pay an entrance fee of 10 taels of gold.
This also shows that only the wealthy can come to this place; 10 taels of gold is enough for an ordinary person to live on for half a year.
Chen Jia looked at Leng Yun with a cold smile: "Brother Leng Yun, these tickets are very expensive, but don't worry about it, I'll pay for them for you. Also, this beautiful lady's ticket is on my tab."
"Wow, Young Master Chen, you're really generous!" Liu Tianxiang said.
Chen Jia was secretly pleased. Although he felt bad about spending those 20 taels of gold, he could humiliate Leng Yun and perhaps win the heart of a beauty. What did that matter?
For an ordinary woman, Chen Jia's generosity would naturally make her exceptionally attractive.
But the Dragon Girl didn't even glance at Chen Jia, and led Zhang Xiaoyu inside.
Leng Yun simply shrugged and followed him inside without expression.
The two men's behavior made Chen Jia feel like he'd been taken advantage of.
"Hmph, ignorant fool!" Chen Jia said indignantly.
The scenery inside Dongshan was indeed delightful. Even Leng Yun, who had traveled to so many places, had never seen such a beautiful and picturesque place.
Along both sides of the mountain path, there are some small vendors selling herbs.
Although they are called small vendors, the herbs they sell are not small at all; on the contrary, they are all kinds of precious medicinal materials collected from this Dongshan Mountain.
On the one hand, they were just unearthed, and on the other hand, they had absorbed spiritual energy for many years, so these herbs are very expensive.
Even a family of medicine merchants like Chen Jia rarely sees such medicinal herbs, and even Chen Jia can't afford to buy things from here.
Leng Yun was quite interested in these medicinal herbs, since herbs that had absorbed the earth's spiritual energy were indeed much better than ordinary ones.
If these medicinal herbs were planted in the herb field of my own system space, they would probably grow even better. At that time, even the most ordinary medicinal herbs could produce amazing effects.
Afterwards, Leng Yun found a medicine merchant, picked up a white hibiscus plant from the bottle, and examined it. It was indeed a top-grade herb.
The pharmaceutical dealer could tell at a glance that Leng Yun didn't look like a rich man, but the rich kids following behind him all looked like wealthy people.
Therefore, the medicine merchant dared not be negligent and said enthusiastically, "This was picked from the easternmost cliff of Dongshan Mountain, where the spiritual energy is abundant, so this medicine is the best."
Leng Yun nodded: "How much?"
"Hmph! What? The medicinal herbs here are all incredibly expensive, you can't afford them. Put them down and stop embarrassing yourself here," Liu Tianxiang mocked.
Upon hearing this, the pharmaceutical merchant realized that Leng Yun did not have a good relationship with the several rich second-generation heirs behind him, and his attitude became much colder.
"This herb costs 500 taels. If you're not selling it, don't touch it," the herbalist said coldly.
Leng Yun picked up several more medicinal herbs: "I'll take all of these."
“Hey kid, listen carefully, it’s 500 taels, not 500 coins. You couldn’t afford it even if you sold yourself,” Liu Tianxiang mocked.
Before Liu Tianxiang could finish speaking, Leng Yun took out a jade card, and its crystal-clear green light instantly illuminated the surrounding space.
Liu Tianxiang's voice stopped abruptly. His pupils dilated as he stared at the jade card, his face glowing green from the light, but he still couldn't hide his astonishment.
As a member of a prominent business family, Liu Tianxiang naturally recognized what Leng Yun held in his hand—the jade card from Chuyun Money Shop.
As a money exchange that operates throughout the entire Seven Heavens Continent, Izumo Money Exchange is known to everyone in the business world. Only the truly wealthy merchants can cooperate with Izumo Money Exchange.
People of Liu Tianxiang's father and Chen Jia's father's caliber, who own tens of millions of assets, can only qualify for a black card at Chuyun Money Exchange.
The Emerald Card is reserved for the most esteemed customers, reportedly those with assets exceeding 100 million.
It can truly be said to be a symbol of nouveau riche.
This was originally given to Leng Yun by Grand Tutor Pang, but given Leng Yun's current status as a sixth-grade alchemist, obtaining one himself would be a very easy matter.
When the jade card was revealed, Liu Tianxiang, Chen Jia, and Zhang Xiaochun all turned green with shock. No matter how they looked at it, Leng Yun was just an ordinary person with plain clothes, yet he managed to pull out a jade card that even their fathers didn't deserve!
The drug dealer, on the other hand, completed the transaction in a daze throughout.
Leng Yun retrieved the jade card, planted several medicinal herbs in the system's medicinal field, and then turned to leave.
The wealthy young men behind him fell silent, too shocked to say anything.
"Young man, don't go!" A voice suddenly called out to Leng Yun.
Leng Yun turned around and saw three people walking towards them. The one in the lead looked smug, holding his head high and striding up to Leng Yun's side.
"Brother Li, it's you! What a coincidence to run into you here." Chen Jia suddenly became very respectful.
"What is it?" Leng Yun asked coldly.
Chen Jia immediately said, "Leng Yun, this is Li Li, the fat door god's favorite. He basically handles everything."
Chen Jia was very respectful, and Li Li looked at Leng Yun smugly: "Young brother, it seems you also come from a wealthy family. How about we become friends? From now on, I'll protect you when you come here."
Upon hearing this, Liu Tianxiang, Chen Jia, and the others immediately felt a pang of jealousy towards Leng Yun. After all, the other party was Li Li, the most popular guy in front of the fat gatekeeper. It was such an honor for him to take the initiative to befriend you.
However, upon further reflection, it makes sense, since Leng Yun actually possesses the jade card from Chuyun Bank.
Even so, in the eyes of these rich second-generation individuals, Leng Yun was nothing more than an idiotic nouveau riche.
"Not interested," Leng Yun said indifferently, turning to leave...
