Chapter 22: Yansheng Dan

Hearing Xiao Yue's inexplicable volunteering, Xiao Zhan and the elders in the first seat couldn't help but be stunned, and the clansmen below also couldn't help but look at him in surprise, really a little unclear.

A trace of worry flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes, and then he groaned, nodded at him, and chuckled: "Hehe... Then it's going to be troublesome for Xiao Yue's nephew!"

"The patriarch is polite, it should be!" Xiao Yue smiled, owed, and replied humbly.

"Brother Xiao Yue...... Don't forget to take Yu'er to see the birds..."Xiao Yu beside him didn't forget about this, pulled Xiao Yue's sleeve, blinked his eyes wide, and reminded in a milky voice.

"Hehe... Don't worry, brother hasn't forgotten, I'll take you to see the birds later!" Nodding Xiao Yu's delicate little nose, Xiao Yue smiled and comforted.

Then he hurriedly turned around and walked in front of Zhao Peng, bowed slightly, and smiled without humility or arrogance: "Mr. Zhao, please!"

"Hehe... Then there is Little Master Lao!" Zhao Peng smiled at Xiao Yue, although he was also a little surprised in his heart, he didn't know what his purpose was, but he was originally very interested in it, so he didn't refuse.

Along the way, Zhao Peng showed his strong interest in Xiao Yue and kept asking for her information, but unfortunately Xiao Yue seemed to be young, but she was like an old fritter who couldn't get in the oil and salt, and her answer was plausible, and she couldn't ask anything useful. There was a feeling that Zhao Peng was powerless to start, but instead of halving the curiosity about Xiao Yue in his heart, he became more and more interested in her.

Walking out of the welcome hall for a while, Xiao Yue couldn't stand it anymore, suddenly stopped, and asked Zhao Peng politely: "Mr. Zhao, I want to ask you, your Mitre auction house has a big business, and there are countless rare treasures handled from all over the world, I don't know if there are anything that can increase life and the like!"

"Uh... Something that increases life?" Seeing that Xiao Yue suddenly got straight to the point, Zhao Peng was slightly stunned, but then replied with a warm smile: "This kind of thing is very rare! I don't know what the little boy is asking about this? With the current age of the little boy, it seems... You don't need to care about this kind of thing, do you?"

Blinking slightly, Xiao Yue's eyes suddenly became a little moist, her face was heavy, and she choked up slightly: "It's not me, this is for an elder, I don't know if Mr. can have any news about this, if so, please tell the boy, the boy is grateful!"

"Elder...?" Zhao Peng was a little puzzled at first, but then he changed, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Could it be that something happened to Old Man Xiao Lin!"

"Uh...!"

Xiao Yue had a black line in an instant, and the corners of his eyes twitched, but he didn't expect to casually tell a few lies, which meant to cause the other party to misunderstand so much. I couldn't help but mourn silently in my heart: Teacher, don't blame me, this is all misunderstood by others!

"Hehe... Mr. Zhao thinks too much, how can the teacher want this thing!" Xiao Yue denied it, but did not mention who needed it at all.

Seeing Xiao Yue like this, Zhao Peng was a little noncommittal, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not, but he wasn't interested in caring so much! After a little hesitation, he still smiled and said: "Since the little boys are so filial, then I will roughly tell you about it below, the kind of life-extending things you mentioned are relatively rare, and the general grade is extremely high, and it is priceless!" There have indeed been several auction records in the history of our Mitre auction house, among which there was a six-grade pill that was auctioned for a stunned sky-high price, but the last auction of something like this dates back to more than ten years ago, and now I am afraid it is difficult to see this kind of thing again!

"Didn't you ......?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yue nodded slightly disappointed, her delicate and lovely little face was slightly disappointed, but he also understood that the other party was mostly telling the truth. After deeply understanding the knowledge of this world, he also knew that things like this to prolong their lives were more precious than some pills that could directly increase their strength for some strong people who were about to reach the end of their lives. It's not surprising that it would be so rare and sought-after, except for those noble alchemists who took the initiative to hand it over for auction after refining, otherwise ordinary people would be reluctant to take it out.

Perhaps seeing Xiao Feng's somewhat disappointed expression, he couldn't bear it, hesitated for a moment, and then Zhao Peng said: "But the little boy doesn't have to be disappointed, if you are not in a hurry, although we don't have this kind of life-prolonging pill now, it may not be possible in another year or two!"

"Oh, what does Mr. Zhao say this?" As soon as Zhao Peng's words fell, Xiao Yue's eyes lit up, and she suddenly raised her head and looked at the other party with a hopeful gaze, and asked eagerly.

Seeing that Xiao Yue was so urgent, Zhao Peng didn't hide it, and chuckled calmly: "I also just got the news that the headquarters in the imperial capital was entrusted by the Yunlan Sect to collect a kind of refining herbs called 'Yansheng Dan' Wupin Pill a few days ago, and this 'Yansheng Dan' is the kind of pill you need! It is said that it is a preparation for the Yunlan Sect's Guhe refining the five-grade pill to be promoted to the five-grade alchemist, and our Utan City has also been notified to help collect those materials!"

"Yunlan Sect... Hearing these two names, Xiao Yue's body stiffened, and his expression couldn't help but be a little trance-like, he really didn't expect that this would be involved with those people! For a while, he couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile in his heart.

After collecting her thoughts, Xiao Yue then asked Zhao Peng respectfully: "Dare to ask Mr. Zhao, with your years of experience and eyesight, how much is this Yansheng Pill worth, and how much does it cost to auction it off?"

Zhao Peng didn't answer, but assessed it in his heart before he slowly spoke: "According to the Yunlan Sect, this Yansheng Pill can extend the life span of an ordinary person by a hundred years. However, that is also for ordinary people, for a fighter, the stronger the strength, the effect will definitely be sharply reduced... But even so, it is extremely precious, and there are enough forces to eyeing it! To put it mildly, I'm afraid that its value can't be bought even if it takes the entire Xiao family, according to my estimate, I am afraid that without 10 million gold coins, I am afraid that I am not even qualified to compete!"

"Ten million gold coins ......!"

Xiao Yue took a sharp breath in an instant, her face couldn't help but be a little stunned, and she suddenly felt a violent convulsion in her liver. Although he has made a lot of money with the Earthquake Thunder recently, he believes that there will definitely be more wealth flowing into his pockets in the future. But if you want to reach a net worth of 10 million in just one or two years, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

And this is just the qualification to compete in the auction, so if you want to auction it, the price you have to pay is definitely far more than that, in addition, even if it is auctioned, it is more likely to offend other competing forces or strong people, which is undoubtedly very unfavorable to him.

Suddenly, Xiao Yue's face became extremely ugly, because as the side effects of cultivating the "Absolute Life Technique" had become more and more revealed, after getting up this morning, he also found that there were more than a dozen strands of white hair in his originally dark and thick hair, so frightened that he hurriedly used his homemade hair dye to re-dye it black, for fear that others would see what was wrong!

Therefore, he must obtain this elixir that can increase his vitality in a short period of time, and he is determined to obtain the "Yansheng Pill". The devil knows if he gives up at this time, I don't know when he will have to wait until he gets the news of this kind of thing again, and even if he knows at that time, it will be difficult to say whether it will be more difficult to get it than this time.

"If you really have to... Then you can only use some other means......" What Zhao Peng didn't notice was that under Xiao Yue's slightly lowered head, a devouring chill suddenly flashed between her delicate eyebrows, and disappeared again in an instant.

Seeing Xiao Yue's sudden silence, Zhao Peng somewhat guessed his loss, but he still smiled lightly: "In addition, I don't know if that Gu He can successfully refine the Yansheng Pill, after all, the Five Rank Pill is not simple, and even if he practices it, Gu He may not take it to the auction house for auction......! I would like to advise the little boy below, don't expect too much!"

"Xiao Yue understands, thank you Mr. Zhao for telling me, the kid is grateful!"

Xiao Yue, who knew the original plot, of course knew that Guhe had been successfully promoted to a fifth-grade pharmacist later, and it was estimated that Yansheng Dan had been successfully practiced at this time! However, as Zhao Peng said, even if the other party would take it out for auction even if it was refined into an elixir, it was indeed a question, and whether he would have the ability to pocket it at that time was a real troublesome question.

"By the way, it is said that your family will hold a coming-of-age ceremony in a month, I don't know if the little boy will come on stage to show his demeanor at that time, but I am very interested in it!" Seeing that Xiao Yue had calmed down, Zhao Peng's heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile, looking at Xiao Yue's eyes with a faint sense of inexplicable expectation.

"Hmm... This?"

The little face couldn't help but be stunned, Xiao Yue didn't expect the other party to suddenly mention this matter, to be honest, because he has always only cared about improving his strength, and he has never cared much about this kind of thing. In addition, Xiao Lin has always asked him to hide for the time being, not to show his edge too early. Therefore, there is not much attention paid to what coming-of-age ceremonies are.

However, since the other party asked, Xiao Yue simply shook her head lightly, and said calmly: "I'm afraid this will disappoint Mr. Zhao, at the coming-of-age ceremony, those fifteen-year-old brothers are the real protagonists, and the kid is just a child, so he won't be embarrassed!"

"Hehe... That's a shame!"

Zhao Peng sighed faintly, but he didn't persuade more. Just looked at Xiao Yue, her face suddenly became a little weird, and she popped out coldly: "Speaking of which... The mind of the little boy really doesn't look like the appearance that a mere childish child should have! At least I didn't treat you as a toddler from beginning to end... Haha...!"

"Huh... Haha......" Xiao Yue's face suddenly stiffened when she heard this, and then she hurriedly pretended to be ignorant and laughed stupidly.

"Okay, the little boy will be sent here! Say goodbye!" Seeing Xiao Yue pretending to be stupid, Zhao Peng shook his head helplessly, and said goodbye rather boringly.

"Ahem... Then Mr. Zhao walks slowly, if there is a chance, the kid will definitely come to visit!" Seeing this, Xiao Yue hurriedly put away her smirk and said respectfully.

Nodding slightly, Zhao Peng smiled slightly, and then turned around and walked out of the Xiao family gate with his subordinates in Xiao Yue's humble and polite gaze.

Standing in place and looking at the backs of Zhao Peng and the others disappearing into the crowd on the street, Xiao Yue was silent. After half a ring, he retracted his gaze and turned to the direction of the capital of the Gama Empire, muttering in an inexplicable tone: "Yansheng Pill... Furukawa..."

“…… Yun Lan Sect!"
