Chapter 497: Lack of Money
Although the Wang family nominally signed a marriage contract with the Haruman family, it seems that the Wang family has reaped a lot of benefits from it, but all this is a bit of a shame for Xiaobao.
It's like a rich old man who falls in love with a beautiful little girl, and doesn't care whether the little girl wants to be with him or not, so he forcibly marries someone else, maybe the bride price will be more, but will the little girl really be happy? Not necessarily.
Ever since he met Elena, especially after being ridiculed by Elena's cold sarcasm, Xiaobao's heart was like pressing a stone, and it was very blocked.
Although she wanted to have a seizure at the time, the other party was a third-level magician, and she was a small third-level child, so she couldn't be her opponent at all, so she had to endure it.
"A crazy girl dares to come to our family to spread wild, it's really infuriating me." Xiaobao said angrily.
"Heh, that female doll is definitely a genius, becoming a third-level magician at the age of twelve, this is not a joke, just a magic spell, you can easily get it." The elder Ge's voice sounded faintly.
"Do you want to be pressed by her for the rest of your life? Damn, if you marry such a rude mother-in-law, if your strength is not as good as her, won't you suffer for the rest of your life? Xiaobao took a sip of tea, slammed the teapot on the table and said.
"What's the hurry? The granddaughter of a little Imperial Marshal scares you? Ge Lao rolled his eyelids and asked disapprerovingly.
"Elena is the granddaughter of Generalissimo Belรฉm, and she has a good talent for magic. Moreover, the Haruman family is strong, and the supply of all kinds of natural materials and treasures is almost unlimited. If in two years, I don't know how far the gap will widen, how can I not be afraid? Xiaobao said worriedly.
"Okay, I'm going to buy materials tomorrow, don't you just want to order a Qi Enhancement Pill? I'll refine it for you to eat as beans, and I still don't believe it, but the granddaughter of a little imperial marshal can still turn the sky upside down? "Hands behind his back. The elder sneered proudly.
Of course, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the Qi Enhancement Pill is eaten as beans, but it is based on the ability of the elder of the pavilion. As long as the materials are sufficient, it is not too difficult to make dozens or hundreds of Qi Enhancement Pills for Xiaobao.
However, listening to the words released by the elder pavilion, Xiaobao didn't have time to be happy. was struck by the materials that popped out of his mouth one by one.
"Tomorrow you go and prepare forty seventy-year-old red leaf lotuses. Twenty ripe ambergris fruits, ten Lingzhi grasses of about forty years, and ten second-level magic crystal nuclei of fire attributes. Ge Lao said lightly, turned his head, but saw Xiaobao with a stiff face, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in amazement: "What's wrong?" โ
"Seventy years of red leaf lotus? This kind of year's medicinal herb seems to cost 30,000 gold coins per plant, right? Forty is 1.2 million gold coins? Ripe ambergris? Even if it is the best of low-grade medicinal materials. But some herb stores can't buy it, even if you're lucky. That's at least fifty or sixty thousand gold coins a plant, forty years of Ganoderma lucidum grass? Oh my God, I saw it at the auction last time, and the auction price was a full 100,000 gold coins, and there was also a second-level fire attribute magic crystal core, so it would be at least 10,000 gold coins..."Xiao Bao touched the cold sweat on his forehead with his palm, and muttered bitterly: "The money for these materials alone adds up to several millions, even if you add all the money from selling ABC, it's not enough?" โ
"Uh..."Hearing this, the elder rolled his eyes, spread his hands and jokingly said: "Those are all your business, it has nothing to do with me, I am only responsible for refining medicine." โ
"Damn, the cost is too expensive, if you really eat these things as beans, I'm afraid even with the financial resources of the Wang family, you can't afford to consume it at all." With a wry smile in his heart, Xiaobao took out a purple gold card from under the pillow, touched it distressedly, and said helplessly: "This is the money left over from the last purchase of medicinal ink plus ABC's profit, almost more than one million, which is not enough for the medicinal materials you mentioned." โ
The elder smiled and sat leisurely in the chair, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.
Rubbing his forehead, Xiao Bao grinned and said, "Let's use this money to buy medicinal ink materials first, and then refine some medicinal ink to go to the auction, otherwise, the money will definitely not be enough." โ
Elder Ge nodded indifferently, refining a low-grade elixir like medicinal ink was as easy as a breeze for him, and it didn't take much effort.
Seeing that Ge Lao nodded, Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief, fell heavily on the bed again, and said softly with a wry smile: "It's really troublesome to have no money, it's hard to die a hero for a penny..."

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Xiaobao quietly slipped out of the family, and after purchasing all the materials needed for medicinal ink in some medicinal herb shops in Uno City, he found a remote hotel, booked a room and went in.
Since it was sold to others, Xiao Bao didn't have the leisure to let Ge Lao carefully mix it, so he still bought some of the worst and cheapest medicinal materials just like last time.
Because he was in urgent need of money, Xiaobao bought dozens of materials, and at the same time, he spent most of the money in the card.
While waiting for the elder to refine medicine, Xiaobao threw away the purple gold card in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and spent half a year's savings in a blink of an eye, it seems that refining medicine is really a loser's industry.
This time refining medicine, Elder Ge spent two hours, looking at the dozens of crystal bottles neatly placed on the table, Xiaobao grinned, and carefully put them into the box.
After getting this done, Wren also came to the room on time.
Looking at the so many configured medicinal inks on the table, Wren was really shocked, so many medicinal inks, if all of them were auctioned, the total value would be at least more than two million.
"Young Master Xiaobao..."Wren respectfully saluted Xiaobao.
Xiaobao smiled and nodded, "Uncle Rennes, this time I will trouble you again, go to the auction and take a walk, I urgently need to sell these medicinal inks, and exchange them for some money to spend." โ
It can be seen that the little young master must be short of money, otherwise, he would not have auctioned so many medicinal inks at one time, but where did so much medicinal ink come from? Could it be that the Wang family has a private alchemist?
Thinking of Xiaobao's engagement to Elena not long ago, Wren seems to have his own answer, maybe it was rewarded by the Generalissimo of Belen, right? With the great cause of the Haruman family, it is also entirely possible to reward some medicinal ink.
"Okay young master, after the auction, the gold coins will be sent to the house immediately." Wren nodded.
"Well, thank you Uncle Rennes, one percent of the proceeds from the auction will belong to you." Xiaobao smiled and patted Wren on the shoulder.
Although one percent doesn't sound like a lot, if you think about it carefully, if all of these medicinal inks are auctioned, at least a few million gold coins will be obtained, then... Even if it is one percent, it means tens of thousands of gold coins, Ren couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and his eyes immediately became a little more bright.
"Thank you, Master Xiaobao."
"Well, Uncle Wren go, be careful." Xiaobao wrapped the box containing the medicinal ink in cotton cloth and delivered it to Wren, "Oh, by the way, there are still some purchase lists here, which are rarely bought on the market, there should be some in the auction house, if you can, Uncle Wren will help purchase some medicinal materials on the list, the quantity and year have been written." โ
"Yes, okay." Wren nodded, took the medicine list, put it away carefully, and quickly left the hotel with the medicine ink.

Wal-Mart Auction House, Treasure Room.
Sophia, the chief auctioneer of Wal-Mart Auction, is now slightly open in surprise with her sexy and ruddy little mouth, her eyes coldly looking at the dozens of bottles of medicinal ink on the table, and her plump breasts with visual impact are gently drawn in a thrilling arc.
"Ahem..."Wren, who was sitting not far from Sophia, coughed dryly, waking her up.
The jade hand gently stroked the cool crystal medicine bottle, Sophia picked it up and sniffed it gently, and then handed it to Ma Modu beside her.
Taking the crystal bottle, Ma Mo carefully examined it, and said with a little surprise: "It's really all medicinal ink..."
Listening to Ma Modu's confirmation, Sophia's willow eyebrows were slightly raised, and her charming eyes swept over the swordsman in front of her, and her smiling face was full of seductive charm: "I didn't expect that after half a year, Mr. Ren would bring such a big deal to our auction house." โ
"When will it be auctioned?" Wren asked straight to the point.
"Is Mr. Wren in a hurry to use the money? If you are not in a hurry, Sophia suggests that it is better to wait a day or two, it is difficult to find so many medicinal inks on the market, if we let the auction house publicize it, then you will get a greater profit..."Sophia smiled lightly and asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Wren was slightly silent, and after a moment, a soft humming sound was heard.
Although Xiaobao had told him to make a move as soon as possible when he came, it would take at least a day or two to get rid of so much medicine and ink immediately, so it would be better to wait for two days according to the auction house's plan.
Seeing that Wren agreed, the smile on Sophia's pretty face suddenly became a little thicker, and the jade hand took the teacup beside her and sent it over in person, she can basically be sure now that the swordsman in front of her is definitely a low-key master, at least he must know a second-level, or even third-level alchemist.
Holding the teacup and taking a sip, Wren suddenly moved, "I don't know if your auction house can help me get some medicinal herbs?" โ
Her beautiful eyes lit up slightly, Sophia sat on the chair next to her, her charming curves highlighted, and said with a smile: "What herbs does Mr. Wren need?" โ
"It's all here..."Wren gave the medicine list to Sophia, as soon as Sophia saw the handwriting on the medicine list, her beautiful eyes lit up, such a strong and powerful handwriting is so familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere, think about it carefully, but I can't help but be surprised, isn't this Wang Xiaobao's handwriting?
