The interior of the auction house is very ornately decorated, and in the center is the site of the grand auction hall that is held once a month, and the circular auction hall is closed at this time, and only opens when the auction is held.

Around the circular auction hall are individual rooms, which are used to sell some of the more precious and exotic things, such as luxurious aristocratic clothing, relatively rare medicinal herbs, ores for making sharp weapons, and so on.

Xia Yan walked along the spacious aisle, and after about the time of tea, he saw a shop with a plaque of medicinal herbs. Before a person gets closer, he can smell a strong smell of medicine.

In the herb shop, there were two staff members, a man in his fifties with a long beard, and a girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old. The girl is petite, her face is delicate, her red lips are like a small crescent moon, she is wearing a light green long skirt, she is sorting out the rows of medicinal herbs on the shelves, and her slender fingers are flexibly walking on the shelves.

Xia Yan walked into the shop and glanced at the shelves, there were not a few medicinal herbs he could recognize by name. What Xia Yan was looking for was a hundred-year-old four-eared orchid placed in a closed transparent cabinet. The last time he came, he saw a four-eared orchid in that cupboard.

"Sir, do you need something?" The girl saw someone walking in, hurriedly stopped what she was doing, turned around, and looked at Xia Yan with a smile, as if she could speak.

The fifty-year-old man sitting at the counter also raised his head to look at Xia Yan, and saw that Xia Yan was wearing a mask on his face, his expression stiffened slightly, and he lowered his head and wrote something.

Xia Yan saw that the closed transparent cabinet was still there, but the hundred-year-old four-eared orchid inside was gone.

Xia Yan frowned, secretly anxious in his heart, stretched out his finger and pointed to the transparent cabinet, looked at the girl and asked, "I used to remember that there was a four-eared orchid here, could it be that it has already 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, but not many people cared about it, the pharmacists in Yushui City were already rare, most of them were ordinary pharmacists, and even fewer people bought the four-eared orchids for a hundred years.

Before the girl could speak, the elder sitting at the counter had already stood up, and his expressionless face was now full of smiles. This rapid change before and after caught Xia Yan a little off guard.

"This gentleman, are you going to buy a hundred-year-old four-eared orchid? Hehe, I'm Mo Kai, I don't know, what kind of potion are you going to refine?"

The elderly, named Mo Kai, was in charge of the herb shop. Although the four-eared orchid is only a primary medicinal material, and the pills that can be refined are only one-grade, second-grade, and third-grade pills, the effect of buying a pill refined from a century-old four-eared orchid is amazing.

Xia Yan was slightly stunned, glanced at Mo Kai, and said after a moment's silence: "I just want to configure a potion!"

Mo Kai was even more shocked when he heard this, and he was even more shocked when he used a hundred-year-old four-eared orchid to prepare the potion, and he concluded in his heart that this person wearing a mask was not ordinary. People who can afford such expensive medicinal materials must not be ordinary.

The qualifications of the pharmacist are not necessarily required to prepare potions, like some ordinary pharmacists in the city, they can also prepare potions. However, the person who used the hundred-year-old four-eared orchid to prepare the potion, Mo Kai had never seen it in the past few decades, and he had not even heard of it at all.

"Hehe, 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.

Moranxiu rolled his eyes and said, "Then where is the four-eared orchid at this moment?"

As long as it hasn't been sold, it's easy, even if it costs a little more gold, you have to hurry up and buy the four-eared orchid. Gold coins are not as important to Xia Yan as the improvement of strength. Besides, after the strength is strong, you can easily get any amount of money!

"There is a medicinal herb shop in the Fang Market of the Xi family in Yushui City, and the four-eared orchid was rented a month ago. Sir, is it urgently needed? I can send someone to retrieve the four-eared orchid right now. Mo Kai bowed and smiled.

"Okay, I don't know how many gold coins you need?" Xia Yan asked.

"A hundred-year-old four-eared orchid is extremely rare, and the price is relatively expensive, if Mr. needs it, it will be 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, but in the past year, it has risen by 50 gold coins. But I need this four-eared orchid urgently, and it costs fifty more gold coins, which is nothing.

After a slight hesitation, Xia Yan smiled and said, "Then five hundred and fifty gold coins, I don't know how much time it will take to get the four-eared orchid back?"

When Xia Yan and Mo Kai were talking, the green girl on the side had been listening quietly, and a pair of smart eyes looked at Xia Yan from time to time, and then said: "I'll go get it now, and I'll be back in about two hours." ”

Mo Kai nodded, waved his hand to the girl and ordered, "Go quickly, go back quickly!"

"Yes!"

"Sir, do you think you need any other medicinal herbs?" 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 secretly said that since this Mo Kai can manage the medicinal herb shop of the auction house, he also has a deep understanding of medicinal materials. I buy medicinal herbs to prepare potions, it can't be just this time, I might as well ventilate with him first, and if I need to buy any medicinal materials in the future, I will come to him directly, which will not only save a lot of time, but also prevent others from discovering it.

At the moment, Xia Yan walked around the shelves, as if he was looking at the medicinal materials on the shelves. These medicinal herbs are simply placed on the shelves, so naturally they are not too rare.

Seeing Xia Yan observing the medicinal materials on the shelves, Mo Kai didn't bother, just bowed down and looked at Xia Yan with a smile on his face, constantly speculating about Xia Yan's identity in his heart.

After a while, Xia Yan turned around and said, "This time, I only need a hundred-year-old four-eared orchid, but in the future, I will definitely need some medicinal herbs, such as a fifty-year-old six-leaf fruit, purple cold grass, and so on." Hehe, if I buy these medicinal materials from you in the future, can there be any fluctuations in the price?"

Although Xia Yan didn't care too much about gold coins, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be anything to spend money in the future, so Xia Yan felt that it was better to save a little.

Hearing this, Mo Kai's face changed, and then he hurriedly said, "If Mr. comes to me next time to buy medicinal materials, how about I sell these medicinal materials to Mr. at a nine-percent discount from the market price?"

Mokai is extremely smart, and he says next time, not this time. He didn't know if Xia Yan would come next time, anyway, he wouldn't suffer if he didn't come, but if he came, then it would be extremely beneficial for him to sell the medicinal materials at a nine-percent discount.

The medicinal materials that Xia Yan bought were all worth tens of gold coins and hundreds of gold coins, which were quite profitable.

Xia Yan heard the little tricks in Mo Kai's words, and he didn't care, just smiled.

"I don't know how my body will change after using so many potions prepared with so many expensive medicinal herbs. What I hope most now is to completely refine and fuse the martial arts in my mind, and if I succeed, I will be more confident in the competition of the three major families in a month's time. Xia Yan's eyes became deep, thinking in his heart.
