Of course, saying that taking the Gathering Spirit Pellets as beans is a bit exaggerated, but with Yao Lao's skills, as long as there are enough materials, making dozens of Gathering Spirit Pellets for Xiao Yan wouldn't be too difficult.
However, listening to Yao Lao's boastful words, Xiao Yan didn't have time to get excited before he was struck down by the materials that came out of his mouth one after another.
"Tomorrow, prepare four stalks of 50-year-old ink lotus, two mature snake gall fruits, one about 20-year-old gathering spirit grass, and a water-attribute second-level magic core." The medicine elder said calmly, but when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Yan's stiff face and was taken aback, asking: "What's wrong?"
"Fifty-year-old Ink Lotus? This kind of medicinal material is worth over 3,000 gold coins per plant! Mature Snake Gall Fruit? This is already a top-grade low-level medicinal material. Some pharmacies can't even buy it, and if you're lucky enough to find one, it'll cost at least 8,000 gold coins or more. And then there's the twenty-year-old Spirit Gathering Grass... Oh heavens, I've only seen that once before at an auction, and the price was a whopping 15,000! Not to mention the second-grade Water Attribute Magic Core, which costs over 2,000 gold coins as well." Xiao Yan slapped his forehead, groaning in pain: "Just these materials alone will cost over 50,000 gold coins. Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?"
"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Yao Lao rolled his eyes and said with a playful tone: "Those are your affairs, they have nothing to do with me. I'm only responsible for refining medicine."
"Damn, the cost is too expensive. Treating this thing like a bean, even with the Xiao family's wealth, it can't be afforded." Xue Ying sighed and cursed, then pulled out a green card from under his pillow, touched it painfully, and said: "The money from selling the foundation-building elixir last time has only one million points left, which is not enough to buy those medicinal materials you mentioned."
The old man smiled and sat leisurely in his chair, with an air of being uninvolved.
He rubbed his forehead, and Xiao Yan said with a grin: "First use this money to buy the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, then refine some more pills to auction at the auction meeting. Otherwise, there won't be enough money."
The old pharmacist nodded indifferently and began refining the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid, a low-grade spirit medicine that was not difficult for him.
Looking at Yao Lao nodding, Xiao Yan finally let out a sigh of relief and once again heavily fell back onto the bed, bitterly smiling as he softly said: "Not having money is really troublesome..."
……
On the second day, Xiao Yan quietly slipped out of the family and bought all the materials needed for the foundation-building liquid in some pharmacies in Wutian City. He then found a secluded inn and entered it.
Since it was sold to others for use, Xiao Yan didn't have the leisure to let Yao Lao carefully prepare the medicine, so he still bought some of the worst and cheapest medicinal materials as before.
Because of this urgent need for money, Xiao Yan bought as many as seven sets of materials and also spent all the savings in his card.
As he waited for the medicine to be refined, Xiao Yan tossed the green card in his hand and shook his head helplessly. He had returned to his previous state of being penniless once again.
This time, the medicine refining took Medicine Old about an hour to completely resolve. Looking at the seven white jade bottles neatly arranged on the table, Xiao Yan cracked a smile, carefully wrapped them in cloth and put them in his bosom.
He patted the spiritual liquid in his arms, and Xiao Yan wrapped the black cloak around him, waiting until his body was completely covered before he walked out of the inn with a chuckle.
……
Mittel's auction house, inside the appraisal room.
Mitel auction house's chief auctioneer, Yafei, is now staring blankly at the seven bottles of Chateau Lafite in front of her, her plump breasts rising and falling with a shocking visual impact, her small mouth slightly open in surprise.
"Cough..." The black-robed man sitting not far from Yafei coughed dryly, startling her awake.
The jade hand gently stroked the warm and cool white jade bottle. Yafei picked it up, lightly sniffed it, and then handed it to Guni beside her.
Taking over the white jade bottle, Gu Ni carefully examined it and said with a hint of surprise: "It's really all foundation-building spiritual liquid..."
Listening to Guni's confirmation, Yafei's eyebrows slightly raised, and her enchanting eyes swept over the black-robed man in front of her. Her charming face was filled with an alluring smile: "I didn't expect that after half a year, Mr. would bring us such a big business at the auction."
"When can we start the auction?" A hoarse voice came from under the black robe.
"Is the old gentleman in urgent need of money? If it's not too urgent, Yafei suggests that you can wait for a day or two. It's rare to see seven bottles of Zhujiling liquid appear on the market at the same time. If we hold an auction and publicize it, the profit you get will be even greater..." Yafei smiled gently and asked in a soft voice.
At the words, the black-robed figure fell silent for a moment, before finally uttering a soft "en".
As he agreed, the smile on Ya Fei's face suddenly became several times more intense. She personally handed over the teacup beside her and brought it over. At this point, she was basically certain that the black-robed man in front of her was absolutely a second-grade or even third-grade alchemist!
Holding a teacup and taking a sip, the black-robed figure suddenly moved, and an aged voice came out: "I don't know if your auction can help me get some medicinal materials?"
Her beautiful eyes sparkled slightly, and Ya Fei sat on the chair beside him, her enchanting curves standing out, smiling brightly: "What medicinal herbs does the old gentleman need?"
"Four stalks of fifty-year-old ink lotus, two mature snake gall fruits, one twenty-year-old or so agglutinating grass, and a water-attribute second-level magic core..."
Guni, who was standing beside him, listened to the names of these medicinal herbs and his expression changed instantly. His eyes were filled with a mixture of surprise and scrutiny as he stared at the man in black.
"Hehe, Yafei will help the old gentleman pay attention to these few medicinal materials. As soon as there is news, she will notify the old gentleman in time. I wonder where the old gentleman lives? How can we contact him?" Yafei asked with a subtle smile, her eyes darting towards Guni's face which had undergone some changes."
"No need to contact me, if you have these materials, just deduct them directly from the foundation spirit liquid, I will come over at any time." The old voice under the black robe said faintly.
"I still have something to attend to, so I won't stay for long. I'll come back in two days." The man in black said casually as he stood up and walked out of the appraisal room.
Looking at the figure that disappeared around the corner, Yafei's narrow and beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said softly: "Those medicinal materials just now, was there something wrong with them, Uncle Guni?"
Gu Ni nodded slightly and let out a sigh, bitterly saying: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the material for refining the Gathering Spirit Powder."
Upon hearing this, Ya Fei's pretty face changed, and she exclaimed: "Isn't the Gathering Qi Dispersion Pill at least a 4th-grade alchemist to refine?"
He nodded and sighed, "It seems I really misjudged this time. However, there are only about twenty or so fourth-grade alchemists in the Gamara Empire. This black-robed person, how come I've never heard of him before?"
Yafei shook her head slightly, and a strange color flowed in her beautiful eyes. She whispered softly: "Fourth-grade alchemist... If there's an opportunity, I must win him over!"
Wishing good fortune to Sichuan, at this time last year, the potato who was in Sichuan also experienced a thrilling escape journey, hehe, hoping that was the last time!
