It takes about three days to drive an off-road vehicle from Wuxi to Xinjiang.

Four cars lined up, and Xiao Han's red wrangler led the way in the front. Every four hours, the convoy stopped and rested at the service station on the expressway for half an hour.

Song Jian had only two people in Song Jian's car. Although Zhou Tong had just obtained a driver's license, her driving skills were pretty good. Since she was very young, Zhou Tong had pestered her father's driver to teach her to drive.

Although the journey was monotonous, Zhou Tong was very excited. Looking at the scene outside the window, he said nothing with Song Jian. When he was sleepy, he could go directly to the back of the car and lie down and sleep.

After two days and two nights, on the third day, the convoy had already entered Xinjiang.

The surrounding buildings became sparse and low. Not long after, the convoy seemed to have entered a big city. Slowly, the surrounding buildings became denser.

"We have arrived in Hetian area. After passing Hetian area, it is the Tarim Basin. Today we will rest here for a day, and we will leave tomorrow morning and arrive at the Taklamakan Desert at noon." Xiao Han's voice came from the phone in the car, and each phone is equipped with a phone to facilitate the notification of the situation between each other.

"Haha, is this Hetiandi here? I have heard that Hetian jade is famous for a long time. You have to buy more today." Ding Jie said proudly.

"This place has a lot of fake jade and is expensive, so everyone should be careful. When we arrive, the hotel we are staying at today." Xiao Han said, and the car turned around and entered a luxurious courtyard. The center of the courtyard was a luxurious hotel, Hetian Hotel.

Xiao Han had all arranged the itinerary, accommodation, etc., and Song Jian and others also ended up relaxing.

After the car was parked in the garage, fifteen people walked into the hotel with their backpacks on their backs.

The rooms are all standard rooms, Song Jian and Zhai Hao live together, Zhou Tong and Qin Huayu live together, two rooms next to each other.

Putting down his bag, Song Jian washed up a little, and was about to go to bed and take a nap, but there was a rapid knock at the door.

When they opened the door, Zhou Tong and Qin Huayu both changed into neat clothes and stood at the door.

"Song Jian, let's go shopping. Today is Bazaar Day." Zhou Tong laughed at Song Jian with a small bag, wearing a slim pink down jacket, and a small hat.

Qin Huayu nodded, saying, "I finally came here once, just go and have a look."

"Okay, okay," Zhai Hao emerged from behind, shaving his beard while excited.

Song Jian thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's go, what does Bazari mean?"

Zhou Tong smiled proudly, "I won't tell you."

The four of them were packed up and were about to leave, but they saw Ding Jie and two other young men walking out, one of them carrying a backpack and looking excited.

"Hey, beautiful girl, go shopping together," Ding Jie became familiar with him and two other young men gathered around.

Not long after, Xiao Han and two women also walked out of the room. Seeing their outfits, they were going out to go shopping.

In this way, there were five men and five women, so everyone went to the hotel outside.

Ding Jie was very eloquent. He kept talking and laughing around several women along the way, which made Qin Huayu and others laugh constantly. Even Zhou Tong covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Only Xiao Han had no expression on his face, which was worthy of her name.

After leaving the hotel, I didn’t walk far away, I saw a very large market, which included high-end jade shops and ordinary stalls selling glasses and hats.

Since he has come, Song Jian also plans to find some things he may use to bring back.

When they arrived at the market, Xiao Han told everyone to be careful. Two hours later, they gathered in front of the jade shop at the entrance of the market and everyone scattered.

Song Jian, Zhou Tong, Qin Huayu, and Zhai Hao walked all the way to the west of the market.

When the Silk Road was prevalent, Xinjiang was once the largest distribution center of goods in Asia. Although it is no longer the largest, you can still see various goods in these markets, including Han agricultural tools, ethnic minority handicrafts, European artworks, and special snack products from Russia and Outer Mongolia.

This is more like an international trade market.

Song Jian searched all the way, but he didn't see anything worth buying.

As they wandered around, the four of them came to a distribution center for Chinese medicinal materials. Many well-decorated Chinese medicine stores had open doors, all with authentic Cordyceps sinensis, authentic snow lotus, etc. on them.

In the past two years, the drug Cordyceps sinensis has been hyped up to sky-high prices, and these pharmacies have also taken the opportunity to make a fortune. Xuelian has always been a relatively expensive Chinese medicine. The precious drugs in martial arts novels often have the medicine Xuelian.

Song Jian and the other three went to the Chinese medicine store, but Zhou Tong and others didn't understand it either. They were surprised to see the prices marked on the Cordyceps sinensis. They just didn't understand how a Chinese medicine could be so expensive.

Of course, Song Jian would not believe the tricks of TV and the hype writers. He switched to several stores and then went to a small stall where there were safflower, licorice, astragalus and other traditional Chinese medicines produced in Xinjiang.

These medicines are all authentic medicinal materials.

Song Jian stopped.

"Brother, do you want Chinese medicine? All of my medicines are wild, and our family picked them from the mountains." Behind the stall was a strong man in his forties. When he saw Song Jian coming to see the medicinal materials, he hurriedly greeted him. There was a motorized tricycle behind him.

Song Jian nodded and said, "Are you also medicinal materials on your mountain bike?"

The man reached out, lifted the plastic cloth on the tricycle, spoke in a non-standard Mandarin, and said, "Don't worry, my sample is the same as on the tricycle."

Song Jian said "Hmm" and said, "How do you sell Astragalus?"

"Fifty yuan per pound." said the man.

"Where is the red flower?"

"Four hundred yuan per catty."

Song Jian nodded. Although the price of this medicine is more expensive than that of the medicine in the pharmacy and Bozhou medicinal materials market, it is a genuine wild medicinal material and its quality is much better than that of ordinary medicinal materials.

"Okay, I've asked for all the medicinal materials in your car, how much does it cost in total?" Song Jiandao.

"Ah?" The man was stunned at first, then showed a surprise expression, "Total 11,000 yuan, I counted 10,000 yuan from my brother."

Song Jian said "um" and said, "Okay, you can clean up the stall, go to the hotel with me later, and put the medicinal materials in my car."

The man cleaned up the stall quickly.

"This is a deposit of 500 yuan. If you drive the car to the market, we will leave the market after about an hour. Then we will go together." Song Jian gave the man five hundred yuan.

The man didn't answer and smiled and said, "I saw that the guy is a person who understands medicinal materials. I believe you, brother, okay, I'll wait for a few people at the entrance of the market."

Seeing that the man was so happy, Song Jian smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

After buying this batch of medicinal materials, Song Jian was still very excited. Among those astragalus, several of them are more than thirty years old and can definitely be used in future elixirs.

"Let's go to the jade shop to have a look. Since we have arrived in Hetian, we should bring some souvenirs," Zhou Tong suggested.

Zhai Hao responded immediately.

Song Jian didn't know much about jade, but Zhai Hao still knew a little bit of knowledge about jade.

After picking a jade shop, Song Jian and the other two walked in.

The store is quite large, with an old man and four young guys inside.

Seeing that Song Jian and the other four were foreign tourists, the old man with a goatee hurriedly came up, "Are you here to buy jade? Take a look at it casually. If you like it, our store can carve patterns or handwriting for free."

"Can you still carve the name?" Zhou Tong was a little surprised when she heard this. Then she turned around the cabinet and stared at a jade ring in the cabinet.

The price of the jade ring is 900.

"Boss, please point this ring in and see," Zhou Tong pointed at the ring.

The old man came over, took out the ring, and said, "This girl has such a good eye. This ring is the authentic Hetian white jade. Look at the texture and color, you can't make a mistake."

Song Jian and Zhai Hao also surrounded him.

"Huh? I'm actually a little angry and fluctuating?" Song Jian was a little surprised. Since traveling through time, Song Jian found that his cognitive ability was particularly strong. In addition to being able to feel danger in advance, he could also sense a person's strength, including the vitality of the patient's body.

But Song Jian didn't expect that he could even sense the anger on this jade ring.

"No wonder the emperor and concubines both like to wear jade during the Song Dynasty. They always say that jade is a living. It seems that a real good jade can indeed bring life to people." Song Jian thought so in his heart, then nodded at Zhou Tong and said, "Just buy this."

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "But, I don't have enough money, what should I do?"

Zhai Hao, who was beside him, heard it and quickly said, "It's okay, I've brought a lot of them."

"Not much mouth!" Qin Huayu stepped on Zhai Hao's feet, then grabbed Zhai Hao's ear and walked aside.

Zhai Hao looked at Qin Huayu with grievance.

Qin Huayu gave Zhai Hao a color, and Zhai Hao suddenly realized that Zhou Tong meant to ask Song Jian to buy her.

Song Jian glanced at Zhou Tong, then said to the boss: "That's it."

"Okay, by the way, girl, do you want to carve any patterns, mascots or life?" The boss took the jade ring and walked behind the counter, saying.

Zhou Tong thought for a while and said, "Just carve a simple rose."

The goatee's boss picked up the carving knife and carved it quickly. Soon, a lifelike rose appeared on the surface of the ring.

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you," said the boss.

"No need, just bring it with you, Song Jian pays," Zhou Tong reached out and was about to take the ring.

Song Jian glanced at his eyes and felt a little excited. Although the ring now looks exactly the same as the ring just now, the vitality in it disappeared and I couldn't feel it at all.

"Boss, this ring..." Song Jian spoke.

"What's wrong with the ring? Boy, you just wanted it, and I asked me to carve roses. I tell you, after carving the patterns, you can't retreat!" The goatee's boss spoke.
