After sitting quietly for nearly an hour, a pretty maid finally walked in from the door, holding a small silver plate in her hands, with a light red ring placed in the small plate.
Taking the silver plate and dismissing the maid, Ya Fei personally handed it to Xiao Yan and said with a smile: "Old sir, the medicine cauldron and medicinal materials you need are all in the "Najie"."
Stretching out his hand to pick up Najie from the silver plate, he turned it around in his palm. Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and Yao Lao's voice came out at the right time: "Well, after the Qi Ju Powder is successfully refined, I will give it to you."
Bring it here."
There was a hint of joy in her beautiful eyes, and Yafei nodded quickly.
"Okay, you don't need to send me away, I'll go out by myself."
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yan put the ring on his finger and walked towards the living room without looking back. He also kept the blue jade card on the table because he didn't want to owe too many favors.
Come down.
Looking at the figure who disappeared behind the door, Ya Fei bit her red lips, stepped forward, took the blue jade card into her hand, pondered a little, and asked softly: "Uncle Gu Ni, it seems that you can refine Qi Gathering Powder.
The success rate is not too high, right?"
"Well, it is said that even the Alchemist Master Furukawa's success rate in refining the Qi Gathering Powder is only about 70%. A normal fourth-grade alchemist may only have a success rate of less than 50%." Gu Ni said solemnly.
"But this old gentleman succeeded in refining it in one go..." Yafei said with a slight frown.
"Who knows, maybe he's just lucky..." Gu Ni shook his head and didn't pay too much attention to this. After all, when an alchemist refines elixirs, a lot of luck is needed. If he's lucky,
Maybe it won't fail several times in a row.
"Could he be...more than a fourth-grade alchemist?" After a slight hesitation, Ya Fei said hesitantly.
"Haha, how is it possible? There are only a handful of fifth-grade alchemists in the Jiama Empire. At that level, even the powerful forces of the empire and the Yunlan Sect will treat them as honored guests. How could they come?
We auction elixirs here." Gu Ni said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ya Fei also nodded slightly, sighed softly, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I still don't have enough experience. The previous hesitation probably made this mysterious alchemist have a bad impression of us."
.”
"I can't blame you. Even I don't dare to give away such a large amount of money. It's already good that you can do this. As for the relationship, we can slowly build it up in the future. As long as
It's good that he doesn't have a bad feeling towards us." Gu Ni comforted him.
Nodding with a wry smile, Yafei sat lazily on the chair, her curves exposed, blinked her narrow eyes, and whispered with some confusion: "What does he want to do with so many low-level medicinal materials?"
"Those medicinal materials have the effect of stopping bleeding and regenerating bones. I guess he is planning to refine the healing medicine." Gu Ni frowned after thinking for a while, and also said with some doubts: "With his identity, why would he refine it?"
Where are these cheap healing medicines made?”
Hearing this, Ya Fei narrowed her beautiful eyes and tapped her slender jade fingers on the table. After a moment, she paused and said softly: "It seems that this old gentleman takes great care of the Xiao family..."
Frowning his brows, Gu Ni looked surprised: "You mean, he wants to refine healing medicine for the Xiao family?"
"Recently I heard that the Jialie family invited a first-grade alchemist. The cheap "Rejuvenation Powder" has already taken away the popularity of most of the streets in the city. If the Xiao family doesn't take measures, I'm afraid they will end up in the embarrassment of being left alone.
The situation is over." Ya Fei's eyes flashed, and she smiled faintly: "Last time, the old gentleman said that if there was a chance, he would cooperate with the Xiao family, and he purchased so many healing medicinal materials at this time.
The purpose seems self-evident.”
"Hey, it seems that the Xiao family really has a big deal this time, and the Jialie family is in trouble." Listening to Yafei's analysis, Gu Ni grinned, with a bit of envy on his face, to be able to get a
The help of a fourth-grade alchemist is not a treatment that other families can get.
Nodding slightly, Yafei chuckled and said: "Let's have more contact with the Xiao family recently. It is gratifying to add icing on the cake, but providing help when it is timely will make it easier to strengthen the relationship between the two parties."
Gu Ni nodded in agreement. The Xiao family, with the support of a fourth-grade alchemist, was worthy of their attention.
After leaving the auction house, Xiao Yan walked around cautiously for a long time as before, then turned into a remote alley and changed out of his clothes.
Throwing away the light red "Na Ring" in his hand, Xiao Yan was a little happy. This kind of Na Ring is made of a rare material called "Na Stone". There is a special small space in it, which can store the lifeless breath.
It is extremely convenient to buy anything. However, due to the scarcity of "Na Stone", the "Na Ring" is also precious. Like the lowest "Na Ring" in Xiao Yan's hand, the space inside is only three or four square meters.
It looks like rice, but its price is close to 100,000 gold coins. In the Xiao family, Xiao Yan has only seen his father and the elder have one of these rings.
After playing with the ring for a while, Xiao Yan hesitated, but did not put it on his hand again, but carefully held it in his arms. This kind of ring was expensive. If his father and the others saw it, it would be difficult for him to explain where to go.
Come.
Kicking the black cloak under his feet into the ditch, Xiao Yan carefully walked out of the remote alley, and then ran all the way back to his family.
Walking along the path through the family and passing the meeting hall, his father's furious curses were heard inside. His eyelids twitched, Xiao Yan leaned over and quietly looked in through the crack in the door.
"Damn it, that old bastard Jialibi is so arrogant, he dares to steal business so blatantly!" In the hall, Xiao Zhan was smashing the table with a livid face, and the tea in the tea cup was splashed all over the table.
"Now, the number of people in the Xiao family's markets has been greatly reduced. The remaining merchants in the markets are also panicking. Many people have secretly gone to the Jialie family's market. If this continues,
In another half month, I'm afraid...our market will be closed down." The second elder sitting below said with a gloomy face at this time and gritted his teeth.
"How about... I take some elite members of the family to secretly kill the first-grade alchemist?" The third elder said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Now there are at least two great fighting masters guarding the alchemist. How can it be so easy?" Xiao Zhan waved his hand and said helplessly.
"But if this continues, our losses will be too great. Wutanzhong's profits from the market have accounted for a large part of our family's income." The third elder said unwillingly.
The corner of Xiao Zhan's mouth twitched. At this time, he couldn't think of any other way.
"Didn't the mysterious alchemist who was at the auction that day say that he had a chance to cooperate with us? Judging from Gu Ni's respectful attitude towards him, he must be of a high level. If he had his help, the Gallie family would
It certainly won’t be able to make big waves.” The great elder, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said softly.
"Well, who knows if it's just casual talk. What can a person of that level get from cooperating with us? Would he care about the profit?" Xiao Zhan shook his head with a wry smile and sat down.
Sitting on the chair, he sighed.
The three elders were also silent. Indeed, it is indeed difficult for the Xiao family to reach that level of people.
"Damn it, just stay up for a few more days. If the Gallie family doesn't know how to restrain itself, don't blame us for fighting to the death!" Xiao Zhan licked his lips, holding the back of the chair tightly with his palms, his eyes flashing fiercely.
Plunder.
Outside the door, Xiao Yan, who heard this, shrugged slightly, touched the Najie in his arms with his palms, a cold look appeared on the corner of his mouth, and slowly backed away.
