The interior of the auction house is very ornately decorated. In the center is the grand auction site that is held once a month. The circular auction site is all closed at this time and will only be opened when the auction is held.
Surrounding the circular auction house are individual rooms. These rooms are used to sell some of the more precious and rare things, such as luxurious noble clothing, rare medicinal materials, ores for making sharp weapons, etc.
Xia Yan walked forward along the spacious corridor. After about a cup of tea, he saw a shop with a plaque hanging on it. Before he got close, he could smell a strong medicinal smell.
In the medicine shop, there are two staff members, one is a man in his fifties with a long beard, and the other is a girl who is only seventeen or eighteen years old. The girl is petite, has a delicate face, and her red lips seem to be curved
The little Crescent Moon, wearing a light green dress, was sorting the rows of medicinal materials on the shelves, and her slender fingers were walking nimbly on the shelves.
Xia Yan walked into the shop and glanced at the shelves. There were only a few named medicinal materials that he could recognize. What Xia Yan was looking for was a century-old medicinal material placed in a sealed transparent cabinet.
The four-eared orchid. The last time he came here, he saw the four-eared orchid in that cabinet.
"Sir, do you need anything?" When the girl saw someone walking in, she quickly stopped what she was doing, turned around, and looked at Xia Yan with a sweet smile, her eyes seemed to be able to speak.
The fifty-year-old man sitting at the counter also raised his head and glanced at Xia Yan. He saw that Xia Yan was wearing a mask on his face, his expression was slightly stiff, and he lowered his head to write something hard.
Xia Yan saw that the closed transparent cabinet was still there, but the century-old four-eared orchid inside was gone.
Xia Yan frowned, feeling secretly anxious. He pointed at the transparent cabinet, looked at the girl and asked, "I remember that there was a four-eared orchid here before. Could it be that it has been sold?"
When the girl heard this, her eyes changed. The four-eared orchid was worth more than five hundred gold coins. Although it had been placed in the shop for a long time, not many people cared about it. There were only a handful of pharmacists in Yushui City, and most of them were ordinary ones.
Pharmacists, and even fewer people buy these century-old four-eared orchids.
Before the girl could speak, the elder sitting on the counter had already stood up, and his originally expressionless face was now full of smiles. This rapid change caught Xia Yan off guard.
"Sir, do you want to buy a century-old four-eared orchid? Haha, I am Mo Kai. I don't know what kind of potion you plan to refine?"
This older man, named Mo Kai, is responsible for managing this medicine shop. Although the four-eared orchid is only a primary medicinal material, and what can be refined is only first-, second-, and third-level elixirs, but buying the elixir refined from the centuries-old four-eared orchid
, the effect is amazing.
Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Mo Kai, pondered for a moment and said, "I just want to prepare a potion!"
When Mo Kai heard this, he was even more shocked. The hundred-year-old four-eared orchid must be used to prepare the medicine? After being shocked, he concluded in his heart that the man wearing the mask was not ordinary. People who can afford such expensive medicinal materials must be extraordinary.
Preparing potions does not necessarily require the qualifications of a pharmacist. Some ordinary pharmacists in the city can also prepare potions. However, Mo Kai has never seen people who use century-old four-eared orchids to prepare potions in the past decades, or even at all.
never heard of that.
"Haha, sir, don't worry! The four-eared orchid has not been sold, but it is no longer here at the moment." Mo Kai stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Moran Xiu turned his eyes and said, "Where is the four-eared orchid at this moment?"
As long as it hasn't been sold, it's easy. Even if you spend more gold coins, you should hurry up and buy the four-eared orchid. Gold coins are not as important as the improvement of strength to Xia Yan. Besides, after becoming strong, how much will it cost?
Money can be easily obtained!
"There is a medicinal material shop in the market of Xi's family in Yushui City. They rented the four-eared orchid a month ago. Sir, is it urgent? I can send someone to get the four-eared orchid back now." Mo Kai bowed.
Smile.
"Okay, I wonder how many gold coins are needed?" Xia Yan asked.
"A century-old four-eared orchid is extremely rare and relatively expensive. If sir needs it, just five hundred and fifty gold coins!" Mo Kai's eyes lit up, he laughed twice, and said to Xia Yan.
A year ago, the price was still 500 gold coins. In the past year, it has increased by 50 gold coins. But now I urgently need these four-eared orchids, so spending fifty more gold coins is nothing.
After a slight hesitation, Xia Yan chuckled and said, "Then five hundred and fifty gold coins. How long will it take to get the four-eared orchid back?"
While Xia Yan was talking to Mo Kai, the green girl on the side had been listening quietly, looking at Xia Yan with a pair of smart eyes from time to time, and then said: "I'll go get it right away, I'll be back in about two hours
.”
Mo Kai nodded, waved his hand to the girl and said, "Go back quickly!"
"yes!"
"Sir, do you think we need any other medicinal materials?" After the girl in green left, Mo Kai asked in front of Xia Yan with a smile on his face.
Xia Yan frowned slightly and thought to himself that since Mo Kai can run and manage the medicinal materials shop of the auction house, he also has a good understanding of many medicinal materials. I can't buy medicinal materials to prepare potions just this time, so I might as well communicate with him first. If I want to buy medicinal materials in the future,
If you need to buy any medicinal materials, just come to him directly. This will not only save a lot of time, but also prevent others from discovering you.
At the moment, Xia Yan walked around the shelves, seemingly looking at the medicinal materials on the shelves. These medicinal materials were simply placed on the shelves, so naturally they were not too rare.
Seeing Xia Yan observing the medicinal materials on the shelves, Mo Kai didn't bother him. He just bowed slightly and looked at Xia Yan with a smile, constantly speculating on Xia Yan's identity.
After a while, Xia Yan turned around and said: "This time, I only need a century-old four-eared orchid, but I will definitely need some medicinal materials in the future, such as fifty-year-old six-leaf fruit, purple cold grass, etc. Haha
, if I buy these medicinal materials from you in the future, can there be any fluctuation in the price? "
Although Xia Yan didn't care much about gold coins, there was no guarantee that there would be anything he would need to spend money on in the future, so Xia Yan thought it would be better to save a little.
Hearing this, Mo Kai's face changed, and he quickly expressed his position and said: "If Sir comes to me to buy medicinal materials next time, how about I sell these medicinal materials to Sir at 10% off the market price?"
Mo Kai was extremely smart. He was talking about the next time, not this time. He didn't know whether Xia Yan would come next time. Anyway, he wouldn't suffer a loss even if he didn't come. But if he came, he would get a 10% discount.
Selling the medicinal materials at a reasonable price is also extremely beneficial to him.
The medicinal materials Xia Yan purchased were all worth dozens or hundreds of gold coins, and the profit was quite large.
Xia Yan heard the little tricks in Mo Kai's words and didn't care. He just smiled.
"I don't know what kind of changes will happen to my body after I use the medicine prepared from so many expensive medicinal materials. What I hope most now is to completely refine and integrate the martial arts memorized in my mind. If successful, in three months' time,
After a big family competition, I will be more confident." Xia Yan's eyes became deep and he thought in his heart.
