The location of the Jia Lie Clan's small market was a little remote, and there was usually very little traffic. However, when one walked into the market, one would see the extremely crowded streets and ear-splitting noises. The spacious streets were filled with people, and a few burly men with bare arms were shouting loudly as they desperately squeezed into the crowd. From the faint smell of blood that was emitted from these burly men's bodies, it was likely that they were mostly mercenaries who had bled from their blades and often fought with death.
They were obsessed with healing medicine. When they ventured deep into dangerous places, a little healing medicine could save their companions 'lives. Standing at the gate of the market, they could see some mercenaries carrying small wooden boxes and squeezing out of the crowd. Then, they ran out of the market with joy. Xiao She also ran into the street and squeezed into the crowd with all his strength. He bought a box in front of the cabinet and squeezed out of the crowd with the box.
Walking out of the market with the box in his arms, Xiao She opened the lid of the box, revealing ten small bottles inside. The bottles were made of rough materials, obviously made of the lowest grade jade. It was difficult to preserve the medicinal efficacy in such a container, which was obviously a waste of materials. Opening the lid, a light green liquid was revealed, and a very thin medicinal smell spread out." Teacher, is this also considered healing medicine?"”
"Yes, it can be considered the lowest grade healing medicine. It can have some healing effects. This kind of simple healing medicine is not too difficult to refine. However, because healing medicine is not rare and is sold at a very low price, only some tier one alchemists will have the leisure to refine it.”
"Teacher, do you have a prescription for a better healing medicine?”
"There are a lot of them. However, those medicinal pills are too low level. I rarely refine them. Oh right, since you have already become a Dou Zhe, it is time for you to try refining some medicine. First, go to the auction house and look for a slightly better medicinal cauldron. Additionally, you still need to buy a large number of primary medicinal ingredients.”After hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao She casually threw the box in his hand into the ditch at the side. After which, he swiftly walked towards the Primer Auction House located in the middle of the city.
Just before they arrived at the auction house, they changed into a bloated black cloak in a secluded place. Only then did they slowly walk towards the auction house. This attire was already familiar to all the internal staff of the Primer Auction House. Therefore, when they saw the black cloaked human figure slowly walking over from afar, someone swiftly entered the auction house and informed Ya Fei and Gu Ni. After hearing the report from their subordinates, Ya Fei and Gu Ni simultaneously dropped what they were doing and swiftly appeared at the entrance of the auction house. In the end, he led Xiao She into the waiting room with a smile.
"I came here this time to ask you to help me get a slightly better medicinal cauldron.”She lifted the teacup beside her and took a shallow sip. An old voice was emitted from under the black robe. Ya Fei, who was aware of the other party's identity, was not surprised by this request. She smiled and nodded. She waved her hand and called over a female servant. She softly gave a few instructions by her ear before waving her hand to dismiss her.
"Ke ke, old mister really came at the right time. This morning, the auction house has just received a medicinal cauldron that is made from Flame Essence. This cauldron was forged by the famous Grandmaster He Er of the Jia Ma Empire. Not only does it have a certain amplification effect on Dou Qi flames, but it also contains some rare metals that can increase the success rate of refining medicine. Recently, this kind of medicinal cauldron has become very popular among the Jia Ma Empire's alchemists.”Ya Fei smiled as she spoke. Her eyes moved, causing one's soul to be shaken.
"Yes." The old voice contained some satisfaction. After a slight hesitation, he once again said,"Prepare a low grade 'Spatial Ring' for me. Additionally, five hundred Blood Clotting Grass, six hundred Bone Growing Flowers, five hundred Poppy Flowers, and five hundred Vitality Fruits.。。。。。”
Hearing these requests, Gu Ni's eyelids twitched slightly. Even the lowest grade storage ring would cost seventy to eighty thousand gold coins each. Although the medicinal herbs at the back were not rare, such a large amount would still require a hundred thousand gold coins. Also, if the Flaming Essence Cauldron that Ya Fei mentioned was auctioned, it could be sold for at least a hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.
It would definitely be difficult to obtain these few items without three hundred thousand gold coins. Ya Fei was similarly stunned by these materials. After all, the current auction house did not belong to her alone. Most of the profits needed to be handed over to the headquarters. Although it was not impossible to privately transfer three hundred thousand gold coins, it would definitely be discovered by the higher-ups. The back of her teeth gently bit her red lips. After weighing the benefits that a tier four alchemist could bring, Ya Fei softly laughed,"Old sir, everything will be ready in an hour.”
"Hehe, alright…" The faint old voice revealed a satisfied smile in front of Ya Fei for the first time. Under the black robe, a white hand took out a blue jade card from her bosom and placed it on the table. Yao Lao smiled and said,"I know that the money in here is not enough to buy those things from before.。。。。。However, among the medicinal herbs later, you can add another set of qi-gathering elixir ingredients.”
Gu Ni's expression changed slightly. Adding another set of ingredients for the qi-gathering elixir? Wouldn't that cost another 50,000 gold coins? Ya Fei's small red mouth was slightly opened. Her heart also felt a little angry. Although the other party was a tier four alchemist, this was a little too much, right? Although she was a little angry in her heart, Ya Fei's charming face was still full of smiles.
After muttering to himself for a moment, he laughed bitterly in his heart. After muttering to himself," You can't get a wolf without giving up a child." He he, it seems that the two of you have misunderstood. This material does not belong to me. I just want to help you refine a qi-gathering elixir. It's not too much to ask the two of you to only pay for the materials, right?”The old voice faintly smiled.
Ya Fei's enchanting pretty face was slightly startled. Immediately, joy surged into it. She was shocked by this sudden surprise until she was unable to recover. A moment later, Ya Fei's pretty face finally calmed down. She exchanged glances with Gu Ni, whose face was also filled with joy. She said in a somewhat nervous soft voice,"Thank you, Old Mister." After sitting quietly for nearly an hour, a pretty maid finally walked in from outside the door. She held a small silver plate in both hands, and in the small plate, there was a light red ring.
After receiving the silver plate and sending away the maids, Ya Fei personally handed it to Xiao She and said with a smile,"Old mister, the medicinal cauldron and medicinal ingredients you need are all in the storage ring.”
Yao Lao extended his hand and picked up the storage ring from the silver plate. He rotated it in his palm and his voice was also emitted at the right time,"Yes, I will bring the qi-gathering elixir to you after it is successfully refined.”Ya Fei's beautiful eyes contained a joy as she hurriedly nodded.
"Thank you for your help. You don't have to send me off. I'll go out myself.”Ya Fei waved her hand and casually put the Storage Ring on her finger before walking out of the waiting room. She watched the back that had disappeared behind the door and gently bit her red lips. She took a step forward and kept the blue jade card in her hand. After musing for a moment, she softly asked,"Uncle Gu Ni, the success rate of refining the qi gathering elixir doesn't seem too high, right?”
"Mn, it's said that even Pill-King Grandmaster Gu He's success rate in refining the Qi Gathering Powder is only around seventy percent. An ordinary tier four alchemist might only have a success rate of less than fifty percent.”Gu Ni said in a low voice.
"But this old gentleman succeeded in refining it in one try.。。。。。”Ya Fei knit her eyebrows and said.
"Who knows? Maybe he's just lucky.。。。。。”Gu Ni shook his head and didn't care too much about it. After all, when alchemists refined pills, a large part of it was luck. If they were lucky, they might not fail a few times in a row.
"Will he…Not just a tier four alchemist?" Ya Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Ke ke, how is that possible? There are only a handful of tier 5 alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire. When one reaches that level, even those powerful factions in the empire and the Misty Cloud Sect would treat them as distinguished guests. Why would they come to our place to auction off medicinal pills?”Gu Ni laughed.
Ya Fei nodded slightly when she heard this. She sighed softly and laughed bitterly,"Looks like I still do not have enough experience. That hesitation earlier has likely caused this mysterious alchemist to have a good impression of us.”
"You can't be blamed for this. Even I don't dare to give away such a large amount of money in one go. It's already very good that you can do this. As for our relationship, we can slowly build it up in the future.”Gu Ni comforted.
Ya Fei smiled bitterly and nodded. She lazily sat on the chair, revealing her curves. She blinked her long and narrow eyes and softly said with some doubt,"What does he want to do with so many low-grade medicinal herbs?”
"Those medicinal herbs all have the effect of stopping bleeding and growing bones. I think he should be planning to refine healing medicine.”After pondering for a while, Gu Ni frowned and said with some doubt: "But with his status, why would he refine these cheap healing pills?”
Ya Fei's pretty eyes narrowed when she heard this. Her long jade-like finger gently tapped on the table. A moment later, she suddenly paused and softly said,"Looks like this old mister seems to take good care of the Xiao family.。。。。。Recently, it was said that the Jia Lie Clan had invited a first grade alchemist, and the cheap Return of Spring Powder had already stolen over half of the popularity of the city's market. If the Xiao Clan did not take any measures, they would probably end up in an awkward situation where there was no one in the market.”Ya Fei's eyes moved as she faintly smiled and said,"Last time, that old mister said that if there was a chance, he would cooperate with the Xiao family. Moreover, he bought so many healing medicinal herbs at this time. His goal seems to be self-evident.”
"Heh, you're saying that he wants to refine healing medicine for the Xiao family? It seemed that the Xiao Clan had really clung onto a powerful thigh this time. The Jia Lie Clan was in trouble.”Hearing Ya Fei's analysis, Gu Ni grinned. His face was filled with envy. To be able to obtain the help of a tier four alchemist was not a treatment that other clans could receive. Slightly nodding, Ya Fei smiled and said,"Recently, we should also have more contact with the Xiao family. It's gratifying to add icing on the cake, but sending charcoal in the snow will make it easier to strengthen the relationship between the two sides.”
Gu Ni nodded in agreement. The Xiao family, which had the support of a grade four alchemist, was already worthy of their attention.
