Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen The Red Faced Old Man

As soon as the red-faced old man appeared, the voices of many alchemists in the hall suddenly became much quieter, and some of the stronger ones looked a little unnatural. Fangzhu Yao on the stage was also slightly taken aback, and immediately with a warm smile on his cheeks, he hurriedly stepped off the stage, greeted the red-faced old man, and said with a coquettish smile: "It turns out that Boss Qi is here, and this time the Black Emperor Sect is holding a large-scale auction." Yes, I thought Mr. Qi was not so free to come over..." "Hey, what did Fangzhu Yao say? The quality of the medicinal materials in Qianyaofang is not ordinary. Even the old man has to be moved. Moreover, the alchemy gathering is not often held, so no matter how busy I am, I have to come and see it. Look." The old man known as Qi Lao laughed loudly, his voice was extremely loud, and when he laughed, many people in the hall frowned slightly, but due to the former's reputation and background in the Black Imperial City , all dared not speak out.

"I am very happy that Mr. Qi can come to our shop. Fortunately, the alchemy gathering has not officially started yet. Mr. Qi, please take a seat." Fangzhu Yao said with a smile, and immediately turned sideways to make a form of invitation. Seeing this, the red-faced old man was not polite, laughed loudly, and walked towards the table, then sat down on the chair at the top of the table as if no one else was there, looked around the garden with indifferent eyes, and finally came to the table not far away. Xiao Yan paused for a moment, and immediately looked away. Seeing the red-faced old man take the seat, Fangzhu Yao sighed imperceptibly, and cursed in his heart: "This old guy, every time he comes, he always makes other competitors rely on his background in the Black Imperial City. dare not bid with it._”

This red-faced old man, with a strong background, is the chief pharmacist in the Black Emperor Sect. It is said that not long ago, he has reached the sixth-grade level. Counting it, it should be said that he is the best alchemist in the Black Emperor City. A strong person, and relying on the strength of the Black Emperor Sect, he can also be regarded as a very important figure in the Black Emperor City. Ordinary people naturally dare not bid with him. In this way, for Qian Yaofang, it is undoubtedly a big deal. It's not a good thing, after all, they need to be in the bidding between the two parties to maximize their benefits, and the former's move undoubtedly broke the rules.

Although Fangzhu Yao was slightly dissatisfied with this, but due to the influence of the red-faced old man in the Black Imperial City, she didn't dare to say anything more, so she didn't have much in her mind about this big guy who came uninvited. Joy. "This old guy's eyes are extremely poisonous. I don't know what medicinal materials he will take away this time..." Thinking of this, Fang Master Yao could not help but clenched his hands tightly. These medicinal materials belonged to Qian Yao Fang. It took a lot of lives of herb pickers to find it, and the price was quite high...

With these thoughts flashing in his mind, Master Yao shook his head slightly, suppressed his emotions, and then quickly walked up to the high platform, with a smile on his face again, and began to host the alchemy gathering. The three of Xiao Yan sat in a back seat. Since none of the herbs that appeared earlier were what he needed, his gaze, more often than not, stayed on the red-faced old man. Judging from the faces of those alchemists, it seems that this person has a high status in the Black Imperial City. What's more, this person seems a bit unpleasant, but for some reason, many people dare not speak out.

And Xiao Yan, relying on his excellent soul perception, can sense that the level of alchemy of this red-faced old man is probably higher than that of Yanmeng's Fa Ma, but compared with Furukawa's words, it may be more obvious. A little weaker, but generally speaking, he can already be called a genuine alchemy master. In this black-horned domain, he is enough to be sought after by many forces. While Xiao Yan's thoughts were turning, the so-called alchemy gathering officially started. Some alchemists glanced at those medicinal materials. If they found something suitable, they would go forward, but if they wanted If the medicinal material is taken away, it is necessary to pay the same value as the medicinal material.

After watching the alchemy gathering for a while, Xiao Yan could vaguely understand something. He found that the value of these medicinal materials was probably half or less of the medicinal pills that could be refined. To refine the medicinal materials of the fourth-grade elixir, if you want to exchange it successfully, you need a third-grade elixir, but which kind of the third-grade elixir is determined by Qianyaofang, if you have already prepared it , it can be exchanged directly, and if not, there is a good quality medicine cauldron prepared at the stone platform beside it, which is obviously prepared for on-site refining.

The first batch of medicinal materials did not enter Xiao Yan's eyes, but there were still many alchemists around the third and fourth ranks who were moved by them, and then there was a regular exchange, and if there were no ready-made pills, Some alchemists directly refined it on the spot. For a while, the temperature in the hall rose slightly. Some people who were not interested in the first batch of medicinal materials just turned their attention to those burning medicinal cauldrons. Watching other people's methods of refining elixir. When they were bored in their free time, Xiao Yan and the other three casually watched those alchemists concocting pills on the spot, but not long after, they shook their heads slightly and looked away. With his current strength, the alchemists of these levels could In his opinion, the refining technique was rather crude, and there was nothing to learn from it.

In the hall, there are also many pharmacists who are also sitting still. The strength of these people can be regarded as the upper-middle level here, so their vision should be higher. The first batch of defective medicinal materials obviously cannot be let down. They are excited, and among them, the most casual one is naturally the red-faced old man. His face is almost filled with impatience for these unsightly medicinal materials. It was as if he wished that Qianyaofang would bring out the highest quality medicinal materials right away. As time goes by, those substandard medicinal materials are gradually selected away, and the quality of the medicinal materials that appear one after another is getting better and better. Those pharmacists who were sitting still but slightly stronger are also beginning to Seeing that he was moved, he began to negotiate with them one after another, discussing what to exchange.

As time goes by, the medicinal materials on the stone platform are also becoming less and less, but from the strong medicinal fragrance permeating from those jade boxes, one can know that the quality of the medicinal materials that appear now is getting higher and higher. Some, even the red-faced old man was a little moved, but he didn't make any moves. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have come prepared this time. When the medicinal materials on the stone platform began to decrease to less than ten boxes, only a few enemies such as Xiao Yan and the red-faced old man were still sitting on the mat below.

Seeing that Xiao Yan and the others hadn't moved, the red-faced old man was startled, and then looked at Xiao Yan with a slight frown. Sensing the gaze from the side, Xiao Yan also tilted his head slightly, and his gaze touched it lightly, and then he turned away as if nothing had happened. On his face, there was no other alchemist who saw the red-robed old man. so fearful. Xiao Yan's plain posture made the red-faced old man startled, and then he felt a little angry. With his current strength and reputation, it has been a long time since he experienced such a feeling of being ignored by others. In the hall, the pharmacists who obtained the required medicinal materials did not leave just then, but looked at Xiao Yan and the red-faced old man who were still sitting on the chair with interest. Dan's rally gets closer to the end, and the real climax is just now... "Hehe, next is a batch of the highest quality medicinal materials from my Qianyaofang. For these medicinal materials, my Qianyaofang paid a huge price..." Looking at the few remaining jade boxes on the stone platform, Yao The owner of the shop smiled slightly, and then patted his jade hand lightly. Several maids walked out quickly, and then moved away the remaining jade boxes, and finally brought five jade boxes with a color like Lai emerald. As soon as the five jade boxes appeared, a strong medicinal fragrance suddenly rippled in the hall. Many alchemists took a sip, all of them showed expressions of shock. The red-faced old man leaning on the seat also straightened up at this moment, looking at the jade boxes with a slightly fiery gaze. Fangzhu Yao glanced around the hall for a while, then stopped on Xiao Yan, and said with a smile: "These five kinds of medicinal materials, if you are interested, please take action." Xiao Yan's gaze at this moment was fixed on the three jade boxes on the stage. In his eyes, he could tell at a glance that the purpose of his trip was inside the three jade boxes. The last three herbs for making the Heavenly Soul Melting Blood Pill! Taking a deep breath, under the gaze of all the eyes in the hall, Xiao Yan stood up, and finally strode towards the stone platform. Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, the eyes in the hall immediately focused on him. These kinds of medicinal materials are of extremely high quality. If you want to exchange them, you must at least have the fourth-rank or fifth-rank pills. Can a guy who looks extremely young come up with that level of pill? Under the gaze of those gazes, Xiao Yan stopped in front of the stone platform, smiled slightly at the curvaceous Fangzhu Yao, and then slowly drew three jade boxes in front of him with his palm, and said with a smile: " Fangzhu Yao, please tell me what kind of elixir you need to exchange for these three herbs, right?" Hearing this, Fangzhu Yao smiled sweetly, nodded slightly, and just about to speak, his cheeks changed slightly. Just as his face was changing, a big hand suddenly stretched out from behind Xiao Yan, unceremoniously holding down one of the three jade boxes, a faint loud voice resounded in the hall. "This jade bone fruit...I want it."
