Sure enough, the ruins were not abandoned, but they only seemed dilapidated, but a large parking lot appeared in front of me. The cars were neatly arranged very well. The dim lamp posts illuminated the parking lot, and there were many luxury cars inside.

The parking lot entrance is an automatic door gate. After identifying the vehicle license plate, the railing will automatically lift upwards. Pang Xiaonan noticed that there was a camera next to the door gate.

Three people got out of the car and walked towards the black market. Because Peng Yuyan had been here, he knew the road. Several street gangsters were wandering in front of the entrance of an underground staircase, staring at Peng Yuyan and others with vigilance. Peng Yuyan said: "These are all thugs in the black market to prevent anyone from making trouble."

There were other people from all kinds of people going down the stairs with Pang Xiaonan and the others. "It was really lively." Pang Xiaonan followed Peng Yuyan down the stairs and walked down the ground. From time to time, people passed by him, "This is not a black market, this is simply an underground shopping mall."

The floor was lowered, and sure enough, it was as Pang Xiaonan guessed. The aisle was transformed from an abandoned sewer. On both sides of the sewer were stalls one by one, and all kinds of strange things were sold on the stalls. Pang Xiaonan saw the controlled knives for sale here with pride and crossbows.

"We just came in like this?" Pang Xiaonan asked Peng Yuyan curiously, "If terrorists come in and cause trouble, will the black market scene be out of control?"

Peng Yuyan explained: "Did you pay attention to the ubiquitous cameras?" Peng Yuyan pointed to the sewer wall. Sure enough, there was a camera every few steps. "We have been monitored by the black market since we entered the black market. These cameras will match the captured figures with the national citizen database and screen out dangerous elements in a timely manner. In addition, these cameras will also manually monitor everyone's every move in the black market, capture dangerous actions in a timely manner, respond quickly, and notify security personnel to come and relieve the danger."

"You seem to know a lot about this place." Pang Xiaonan looked at Peng Yuyan in surprise. According to his words, no one can hide in the black market.

Peng Yuyan smiled and said, "I had dealt with the management of the black market because of my work relationship, so I am still familiar with it. Although it is called the black market, it is actually safer than anywhere outside. And my face was filed on the black market, otherwise why do you think we can enter and exit freely?"

"Scan the face!" Pang Xiaonan blurted out, "Then you must know that you have bought something in the black market. I will introduce it to me. It cannot be done once every one of them." Pang Xiaonan mainly wanted to find some top-quality medicinal materials to enhance his skills, but he was also very curious about the black goods in the black market.

"This black market," Peng Yuyan said with his head tilted to Pang Xiaonan's ear, "There are only things you can't imagine, and there are no things you can't buy."

"Is it really so magical?" Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that if what Peng Yuyan said was true, wouldn't the top medicinal materials he needed be easy to get? Maybe it would cost a lot of money, but as long as it can be done with money, there is a way to imagine.

"This sewer-changed black market is just the first floor of the black market. The things sold here are mainly novel and unique products. For example, those weapons with huge destructive properties are on the third underground floor, such as artillery, grenades, and second underground floor, which are mainly medicinal materials and antiques. In short, it is expensive. This time we went to gambling stones, and the second underground floor is also on the second floor; the darkest transactions are all on the fourth underground floor." Peng Yuyan looked at Pang Xiaonan and smiled.

"What is the darkest transaction?" Pang Xiaonan was indeed very curious.

"It must be a crime." Member Wang interrupted. As a politician in China, he is certainly not unfamiliar with the dark side.

Peng Yuyan nodded and said, "Mr. Wang is right. Businesses such as buying and killing people and buying and selling populations belong to the fourth floor business category. Of course, there is not necessarily a goods there. For example, if you want to find a killer, the killer may send an agent to sit there, just waiting for the customer to come."

Pang Xiaonan showed an incredible expression. He looked at Congressman Wang and said, "Old Wang, this kind of thing happened under your nose, don't you care? What kind of society is this? The world is getting worse. How can you deserve the trust of the people in you? How can you deserve the title of Congressman?" Pang Xiaonan shook his head exaggeratedly with a contemptuous expression.

Member Wang snorted coldly and said, "You just want to manage these things. Can you manage them? There is no market without demand. As long as the demand is still there for a day, these illegal and criminals cannot be eliminated. I told you that it is better to be out of order than to be blocked. At least the black market is still within our control. The public security of Huahai City is relatively balanced. This is enough. If I really want to close the black market, these underground societies will go to other places to commit crimes. At that time, we will have to search for their whereabouts, which will cause great trouble to our safety management."

Pang Xiaonan patted Mr. Wang on the shoulder, raised a thumbs up, and said, "It's worthy of being Mr. Wang, thinking about the problem is thoughtful! I understand what you mean. Instead of killing all the spring breezes, it's better to concentrate the illegal and criminal activities together to manage them comprehensively. High, really high!"

During the conversation, three people went down to the second floor of the underground. There were relatively fewer people here because when it reached this floor, it was not something that ordinary people could afford. The goods here were worth hundreds of thousands. For example, in the category of antiques, the antiques on the black market were not ordinary antiques, but basically all national treasure-level antiques. Ordinary antiques would not be sold on the black market. First, the price could not be sold, and second, the stall fees on the black market were not cheap.

The antiques here are either stolen or smuggled from abroad. However, ordinary antique enthusiasts dare not come here because the antiques here are sky-high prices. If you take a look at them and buy fakes, it will be more than worth the loss.

Mr. Wang pointed to a painting and said, "I didn't expect that there would be this "Old Man and the Sea" in the black market. I heard that this painting was stolen in the Lefelder Museum many years ago. For so many years, the museum can only hang a fake in there for people to watch, and the authentic one is actually in the black market."

Pang Xiaonan leaned closer and looked at it. The painting was about one foot square, mounted in a photo frame, quietly hung on the wall. It was painted with an old man's back and a large blue sea. Pang Xiaonan turned his head and asked Mr. Wang: "Is this painting very famous? How much is it worth?"

Member Wang thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, the auction price of this painting was more than 20 million yuan, and now it should have increased."

"Damn, this level is worth tens of millions?" Pang Xiaonan knew nothing about painting, but he believed that this painting was at most at the level of elementary school students, and the lines were thick, like random graffiti.

Mr. Wang shrugged helplessly and said, "This is the master's work, the Impressionist Obirkon conception. I think the painting is very average, but the paintings are worth this price."

Pang Xiaonan asked curiously again: "Why didn't you see the seller? What if I want to buy it? Also, this painting is hanging here, aren't you afraid of being stolen? Even if you can't steal it, aren't you afraid of being smashed?"

"I said that the black market is safer than anywhere outside." Peng Yuyan pointed to the frame and said, "Look at the frame, it is bulletproof glass. Even if you want to destroy it, it is difficult for you to succeed. Also, look at the cameras around you. As long as you do something, security personnel will come to subdue you immediately."

When Pang Xiaonan looked around the painting, he did have several cameras arranged at 360 degrees without blind spots.

"As for the seller, he will definitely not be here openly. If you like this painting, you only need to contact the black market," Peng Yuyan pointed to a notice posted on the wall. "There is a customer service phone number for the black market here, and the black market will contact the seller. If the buyer and seller reach a deal, the money will also pass through the black market. The black market is equivalent to an intermediate guarantee agency, which guarantees the interests of both buyer and seller."

"Damn, this is the same model as online trading." Pang Xiaonan suddenly realized.

"That's right, but you can't openly sell anything here in the black market online." Peng Yuyan walked out of the gallery and said, "Let's go, let's take a look at the medicinal materials."

The structure of the second underground floor is completely different from the sewer, that is, the first underground floor. The sewer is modified from the sewer, but from the second underground floor, it is newly dug from the black market, so the planning is completely different. It is really designed according to the mall, such as the store selling paintings, which is designed as a gallery.

The three people came to the medicinal materials area on the second floor of the underground. The first shop I saw was a few counters. There were some medicinal materials on the counter, but there were not many, just one or two. Unlike the shop next to it, there was someone guarding the store, so he should be the shopkeeper.

Pang Xiaonan was the first to enter the store. He was very interested in medicinal materials. Although he was not familiar with some medicinal materials from Hallelujah, the things in it should be valuable and may have unexpected gains.

"What medicinal materials are you looking for?" The shopkeeper was a fat middle-aged man with a full face. To put it simply, he was chubby, giving people a kind feeling. His smile made people feel even more intimate.

Peng Yuyan replied, "Boss, their shops are all furnishings, not about furnishings. There are basically no one to visit the shop. Why are you here? If a customer likes your medicinal materials, there will be black market staff to contact you. You just need to sit at home and wait for the phone number."

The shopkeeper left two beards, and he smiled at Peng Yuyan's words and said, "Yes, if you want to easily do it, you just need to wait for the phone at home. However, the feeling of someone in the store is completely different when waiting for the phone to trade. Do you like cold and unmanned shops when shopping? I can reply to customers' questions in time, so naturally I sell more medicinal materials, right? The rent in the black market is very expensive, so I have to consider more business."

Member Wang nodded and said in praise: "The boss is indeed an elite in the business world."

The shopkeeper stretched out his right hand towards the counter, signaling everyone to look casually, and said with a smile: "I see that the three are not ordinary people. Let me see if you need the medicinal materials here. Of course, the medicinal materials placed here are only part of me. If you have any other needs, tell me, even if I don't have them here, I can help you find them."

Pang Xiaonan glanced at the medicinal materials at the counter. He was confused and turned to ask the shopkeeper and said, "Boss, do you have any good medicinal materials to replenish qi? If you want that kind of good one, it's best if the entire Hallelujah star has a small inventory."

Pang Xiaonan's routine is very simple. Even if he is not clear about the medicinal material system of Hallelujah Star, the principles are the same. Rare things are precious. The reason why rare medicinal materials are rare is because they require a high spiritual value to grow. Very high spiritual value is usually only available in the place of Tianbao of Wuhua. Therefore, the rarer the rarer, the higher the spiritual power value, and the human body can greatly improve spiritual power after absorption.

Qi is the driving force of all physiological functions of the human body. It is formed by the combination of the essence of water and grain and the inhaled natural atmosphere. If the body is full of positive energy, evil qi will not invade and cause disease. How can we replenish qi? Food supplementation is an important health care method. Replenishing qi is a commonly understood method for treating qi deficiency syndromes. Also known as replenishing qi. People with qi deficiency often have symptoms of deterioration of the function of the internal organs due to eating disorders, old age, and long-term illness. According to the characteristics of the clinical manifestations of Qi deficiency syndromes of different internal organs, different methods of replenishing qi can be used, such as replenishing lung qi, replenishing spleen qi, replenishing heart qi, replenishing kidney qi, etc.

When it comes to replenishing qi, doctors know what it means. People who do medicinal materials business naturally know clearly. Therefore, Pang Xiaonan told the shopkeeper that he wanted rare medicinal materials to replenish qi, and the shopkeeper naturally knew his needs. In fact, Pang Xiaonan's needs are also Mr. Wang's current needs. Although the medicinal materials that were conditioned for Mr. Wang during this period were also valuable, they were still big goods after all. There might be extremely rare medicinal materials in the black market, with dozens of them on the top of the top.

"The medicinal material for replenishing qi?" The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course, the first choice for replenishing qi is the first choice, especially wild ginseng. Wild ginseng depends on where it grows and how long it lasts..."

Ginseng is one of the most important and most precious qi-enhancing medicinal herbs. It is known as the king of all herbs. It has sweet taste, slightly bitterness, slightly warm nature, great function to replenish vital energy, and is a good product for nourishing and health care. It is also the most familiar qi-enhancing medicinal herbs for the public. Everyone calls ginseng "goblin", which means that ginseng absorbs the essence of all things underground.

Ginseng has the effect of promoting the development of human cells and increasing the number of cell divisions. Scientific research shows that human cells stop dividing about 50 times. It takes 2 years and 5 months for cells to divide each time. If they can divide 50 times, they can live to 120 years old. Because ginseng replenishes vital energy, it can often be used for shock with weak breathing, cold limbs, weak pulse, and low blood pressure.

In addition, since ginseng has a tonic and strong effect, it can resist aging, it is suitable for long-term illness, physical weakness, palpitations, spontaneous sweating, cold limbs, shortness of breath, depression, heart failure, neurasthenia and other symptoms.

Modern research has confirmed that ginseng has a good regulatory effect on the nervous system, has a sexotropic hormone-like effect, and also a cardio-enhancing effect. It can lower blood sugar, enhance hematopoietic function, enhance adrenal cortex function, improve the body's adaptability to the external environment, and improve immune function. In addition, ginseng can also promote protein synthesis, inhibit the occurrence of hypercholesterolemia, and promote the recovery of chronic diseases.

However, Pang Xiaonan is not very interested in ginseng, because most ginseng is now cultivated manually. In this way, the spiritual energy accumulated by ginseng is very limited. It is like a mountain produces one ginseng, and a mountain produces 1,000 ginseng. One ginseng monopolizes the resources of a mountain. Compared with 1,000 ginseng, the energy levels given by nature vary greatly.

Even if there is such a wild ginseng, it has a short production period. Because the growth environment of ginseng is relatively harsh, and it has its own sweet taste, it is easy to attract greed from small animals, so ginseng is prone to premature death during its growth. Generally speaking, ginseng that can survive for a long time either has no natural enemies nearby or is protected by fierce beasts, which is destined to be the super value of perennial wild ginseng.

Pang Xiaonan interrupted the shopkeeper's description of ginseng and asked bluntly: "Do you have wild ginseng here? How many years have they been?"

The shopkeeper pointed to a small counter near the store and said, "I do have an old ginseng tree here, which is considered the store's treasure. You can take a look."

Because the counter was inside and the lights were dim, Pang Xiaonan and others did not notice it. At this time, the eyes of several people were guided by the shopkeeper.

Three people surrounded the counter and carefully observed the legendary old ginseng lying on the counter.

To use words to describe people, this ginseng is big and thick, with a large and round waist, and a dark outer skin. It does look like a priceless old ginseng.

Member Wang asked Pang Xiaonan quietly: "What do you think?"

Pang Xiaonan nodded and said, "Well, it looks good."

"Oh? How can I tell?" Although Mr. Wang is well-informed, he has not studied medicinal materials deeply.

Pang Xiaonan pointed to the ginseng tree and said: "There are two ways to identify the age of other people's ginseng. One is to look at the stems, leaves, and fruits of ginseng. This method has a large error and is usually not used. The second is to look at the roots of ginseng. The ginseng we usually talk about is actually the roots of ginseng. To identify wild ginseng, you must master five key points, namely reed, pattern, skin, and body, and these "five shapes" must be used."

Member Wang nodded and asked, "What is a reed?"

"Reed is a rhizome, also known as an underground stem, which is the slender part at the top of the main root, commonly known as "reed head". Every autumn, the above-ground part falls off and leaves a stem mark on the rhizome, commonly known as "reed bowl". The number increases with the age of ginseng and is also the main sign of identifying the age of other people's ginseng. Due to the influence of the growth environment and natural disasters, it is divided into many situations. It is not the saying that a reed bowl is a year, but generally speaking, it is long and there are many and tight reed bowls, which is always good."

Mr. Wang bent down and looked carefully at the surface of the ginseng tree. There were indeed many scars in bowls on his head.

Pang Xiaonan continued to explain: "The main body of ginseng is divided into spiral bodies, rhombus bodies, and pimples. Among them, there are more spiral bodies and fewer rhombus bodies. Ginseng grows in natural environment for decades or even hundreds of years. The older the skin of the ginseng body, the darker the color, and the older the age of ginseng." He pointed to the body of the ginseng tree, "The iron wire pattern of the ginseng body is also one of the characteristics of wild ginseng. It is like iron wire wrapped around ginseng, which is thin, dense and deep, with circles facing each other, and the more dense the iron wire pattern, the older the ginseng."

Mr. Wang pointed to the lower part of the ginseng and asked, "Why do this ginseng have so few beards?"

Pang Xiaonan said: "Ginseng is the part used by ginseng to absorb nutrients. The older the ginseng, the less ginseng, the less ginseng, the less ginseng, so the ginseng of old ginseng must be simple and refreshing. Ginseng grows underground for decades, and ginseng will rot and then grow new ginseng. The rotten ginseng will leave scars, that is, pearl dots, so the more pearl dots, the longer the ginseng is, the longer the ginseng is."

Member Wang straightened up and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be so many ways to identify a ginseng."

Pang Xiaonan knocked on the counter counter and said, "This is like identifying stones. Every natural thing has its own unique growth environment, and it also has its own different value rules."

Member Wang nodded and said, "According to what you said, this ginseng is at least decades old."

The shopkeeper was quietly listening to several people discussing each other. At this time, he interrupted: "My old ginseng tree has been engaging in nearly a hundred years, and it can be said to be unique on the market."

Pang Xiaonan turned around and asked him: "Shopkeeper, how much does it cost to sell ginseng?"

The shopkeeper smiled without saying a word and stretched out three fingers.

"300,000?" Peng Yuyan was surprised. A medicinal herb is priced at 300,000 yuan. Maybe even a bowl of soup is not enough, and he has to match it with other medicinal herbs. He originally planned to guess 30,000 yuan, but selling things on the black market, ginseng of 30,000 is not qualified. If it is sold slowly, the store rent alone cannot be earned.

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "This brother is joking. I dare to sell the old ginseng that is 300,000 yuan per tree, you won't dare to buy it. It's 3 million!"

"3 million!" Peng Yuyan was secretly shocked, but after all, he had seen a big scene and was surprised that he did not show any performance. He turned his head to look at Pang Xiaonan, because among the three of them, Pang Xiaonan was probably the most sensible.

Pang Xiaonan patted Peng Yuyan on the shoulder and said, "If it is really a wild old ginseng that has been around for nearly a hundred years, 3 million is not expensive."

Then Pang Xiaonan said to the shopkeeper: "Boss, can you take out the old ginseng and show me?"

The shopkeeper raised his lips and said, "It seems that the little brother is a person who knows the goods. OK, I'll take it out for you to take it carefully."

The shopkeeper chose a small but very precise key from the keychain hanging on his pants, opened the door of the cabinet where wild ginseng was placed, carefully took out the white ceramic plate with the old ginseng, and placed it on the counter.

"Please see!" The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation, "But please don't touch it, long live understanding."

"Okay." Pang Xiaonan naturally knew the rules here. This wild ginseng is very valuable. If he accidentally broke it, the shopkeeper would definitely feel distressed.
Chapter completed!
