Chapter 13: The Wind Rises
The temperature of the beaker had completely cooled down, and Mo Lun picked up a stick, gently scraped the beige powder adhered to the walls of the cup, stirred gently, and finally poured it into a thick and transparent bottle.
When all the hemostatic powder was in the bottle, Moren stretched his waist and sat down on a wooden chair to rest.
This is the last batch of "hemostatic powder", plus the previous one, a total of 100 bottles.
So much hemostatic powder, of course, is not for his own use, but is intended to be sent to the auction house - auction.
Falk Auction House, one of the largest auction houses in Sin City, is a 190-meter skyscraper located on Jibu Avenue in the central plaza, opposite the Tower of Heaven. Falk Auction House holds a small auction every two months, a major auction once a year, and a top auction every ten years. Its influence is not limited to Sin City, but even beyond the Land of Fire, belonging to one of the most famous auction houses in the world.
A month ago, Mo Lun saw the time of the next Fack auction house on the bounty column, and his heart moved, and he had the idea of taking the miraculous "hemostatic powder" to auction. On the same day, he went to the skyscraper in the central square, and after figuring out the rules, he immediately purchased two communication whistles (see Volume 1, Chapter 16, Ending), reserved the text on the message board, and immediately sent them in a concealed form along with a bottle of "hemostatic dispersion" and an envelope.
A few days later, he saw the name and introduction of "Hemostatic Powder" in the [Auction Catalog] sold by Fark Auction House, with a reserve price of 100,000 $ per bottle. In addition to being delighted, I sent a set of "10 bottles" of "hemostatic powder" again.
The delivery method used by Moren is "Anonymous Consignment" among the three "Receiving Auction Items" of the Falk Auction House. Anonymous consignments exist to take care of sellers who do not want to reveal their identities. Mo Lun is alone, has no strength, no power, and is a weak person who has nothing, so he naturally does not dare to let others know his identity. Although $1 million is just a drop in the bucket in the eyes of many people, Mo Lun is not just a group of auctions, and he has decided to participate in future auctions, no matter how big or small.
After this auction, there is an annual large-scale auction, and Melun decided to put the 100 bottles of "hemostatic powder" into it. The first group of "hemostatic powder" is just a warm-up for the next auction. If it weren't for the fact that he really ran out of money, Mo Lun also planned to prepare more hemostatic powder.
He had already thought that the money obtained from the auction of the first group of hemostatic powders would be used to buy materials and continue to prepare the "Cleansing Elixir". For him, nothing was as important as strength, and with only a little more than a year and a few months to turn twenty, Mo Lun was unwilling to exchange his cultivation path for money.
He wanted to refine Zoro as much as he could during this time.
......
Downstairs, there were no guests in the pharmacy, and when the two girls saw Mo Lun coming out, they shouted in unison: "Boss!" Mo Lun nodded, and after coming to the cabinet, he opened the bill and looked at it, "There are not many left, there are not many gold sore pills left, the meridian extension medicine is sold out, and there is not much left of other wound medicines." ”
Mo Lun closed the account book and said to the second daughter: "In the afternoon, I will start to promote Xiao Huang Yao, if you have something today, you can get off work an hour early." ”
"Boss, you're so nice. Lan Yin shouted, and the girl next to her was a little lost.
Seeing this, Mo Lun added, "Sakura-chan, I won't deduct my wages." ”
Lan Sakura glanced at him and nodded, still unsmiling.
Mo Lun didn't know what was wrong with her, and looked at Lan Yin, who rolled his eyes and said he didn't know. He looked back at Sakura and said with a smile, "Smile, Sakura-chan, the guests like your smile the most, you smile like a chrysanthemum in autumn." ”
Lan Yin was stunned when she heard this, looked at Lan Ying, and then at Mo Lun, and suddenly laughed too, and said crisply: "Boss, you are like a chrysanthemum!"
Mo Lun's smile stiffened, and he always felt that something was wrong with Lan Yin's description......
He shook his head, said a few words, and went out.
He also had to go to District 6, where there were a lot of ordinary materials, and the wound medicine in the pharmacy was all made from these materials, and he improved them very well, and they were very popular. Usually a batch of materials in five days, the business has been a little good in recent days, and I feel that the supply is in short supply.
Hiring a carriage, Morun headed for the Sixth District.
District 6, the place with the most materials, of course, these materials are all ordinary materials, so far, the highest price Mo Lun has seen is only a supernatural flower - 11500$. It is only 1500$ more expensive than the Mana Flower, and the excipients for the Extension Potion can also be found here, and it is cheaper than the Fourth Zone.
Mo Lun has come more often, and Mo Lun has also met some ordinary material merchants, so every time Mo Lun enters their "material shop", the other party will go to the warehouse without saying a word to take out the materials prepared in advance, and Mo Lun only needs to settle the bill.
This time, Mo Lun went to "a lot of material stores", and the owner was a big fat man, who looked honest, but in fact he was extremely cunning and a complete profiteer. The reason why Mo Lun cooperated with him, in addition to being familiar, was mainly because the big fat man had a wide range of doors, just like the name of his shop, there were really a lot of materials, except for those that were extremely expensive, ordinary materials were almost all here.
That's where I saw that supernatural flower.
I don't know the real name of the big fat man, but I only know that he seems to have been born in Sin City, and it seems that he has something to do with a big family in the Fire Country, and it seems that because of this, he got so many materials. It's all seeming, uncertain. Morren doesn't care about this, anyway, he's always been a "big fat man... Big fat man", the other party was not only annoyed, but also proud of it, always muttering "You don't understand...".
Morren really didn't understand.
He had come here to buy materials, and seeing that "many material stores" had arrived, Moron stopped the carriage and walked over. Unexpectedly, the door of the "many material stores" was closed, and the voice of a big fat man came from inside, which was intermittently unreal.
Moren thought about it for a moment and walked in.
As soon as he pushed the door open, a wave of heat rushed to his face, Mo Lun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his spirit instantly focused. He is the fire attribute of Zhuoluo, so he is extremely sensitive to the heat caused by this kind of Zhuoluo.
There was no one in the shop, and a dark walkway led to the inner courtyard, where the warehouse was.
Mo Lun hesitated suddenly, he could guess that the big fat man should be in trouble, otherwise with the other party's character of treating money as his life, he would definitely not close his door and not do business. Originally, I thought it was just some small disputes, but when I entered the store, I felt the strong, malicious fire attribute Zhuo Luo, and Mo Lun thought that he should not get involved in it.
Sin City is too deep, and although I haven't personally experienced the darkness that lurks, I've heard about it some, and Moron hates trouble, especially during this critical period.
Just as he was about to exit, the big fat man's mournful shout came from the aisle: "Little Liuzi help!"
Mo Lun's face turned dark, the little ruffle is Qingliu, this dead fat man deliberately gave him the meaning of a little rascal, but Mo Lun thought of a very bad profession in another world from these three words.
Ignoring the shouts, Moren pushed open the door and walked out.
The door was closed again, and the big fat man's voice suddenly became quieter. Moren had taken a few steps, and while the coachman and carriage were still waiting in place, Moren patted the corners of his wrinkled clothes and walked over.
※※
"A lot of material stores", the big fat man was hanging naked from an iron tree at this time, surrounded by four men. One of them, a man with pigtails, a mustache, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and a katana hanging crookedly from his waist, is particularly eye-catching.
A man in a power suit looked down the aisle, and after a moment, turned back and said, "Gone." ”
The big fat man trembled when he heard this, and scolded: "Xiaoliuzi, you unrighteous bastard, you are at a loss that Lao Tzu sold so many medicinal materials to you." See you next time, see me ......"
The man with the mustache sneered when he heard this, and said coquettishly: "Do you have a next time?" We Lingyan Pavilion gave you two chances, you don't know how to cherish it, do you really think that the sixth district is covered by the Five Alliances Chamber of Commerce, and you will be safe and sound?"
"Fuck! what do you say, dead peach-eyed, sissy, dead ladyboy, do you know who Lao Tzu is?" the big fat man struggled violently and roared.
The bearded man was scolded, but he was not annoyed at all, he seemed to have become accustomed to it, he covered his mouth and smiled: "Little Fat Dun, do you know the Red Cloud Pavilion?"
The big fat man was stunned for a moment and looked at the peach blossom eyes. Of course, he knew about the Red Cloud Pavilion, and he knew it very well, he had always aimed at the Red Cloud Pavilion before, and he had made up his mind to surpass the other party within five years and open the material store in the fourth district. But what did this dead shemale suddenly say about the Red Cloud Pavilion...... I don't know why, but a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.
"Looks like you know. The bearded man laughed again, "Red Cloud Pavilion! No! Haha, it was given by our master...... Click. ”
The big fat man's face sank, stared at each other, and said: "District 5 and District 6, as long as you abide by the regulations of the Five Alliances Chamber of Commerce, we businessmen will always be at peace with each other, you Lingyan Pavilion this time...... It's too much. ”
"Excessive?" As if hearing the funniest thing in the world, the four men burst out laughing. "Oops, people, people are about to laugh and burst into tears......" The bearded man bent over, wiping away his non-existent tears, and said, "Okay, we won't talk nonsense with you anymore." ”
"Actually, the master is already very merciful, and only takes fifty percent of your profits. But there are too many fools, and in the end, they end up empty, sad. As he spoke, the bearded man pulled out his katana, and the katana was cold and compelling, and it was a fine product at first glance.
"Yesterday, that guy was too thin, and I couldn't draw a single red lotus in the 'Fire Lotus Swordsmanship' that I had been practicing hard in the Red Flame School for many years. It's great to see you today, and on you, I'm sure I can draw one... Oh no, it's two red lotuses. ”
The moment the bearded man pulled out the katana, his temperament suddenly changed, no longer sissy, but full of an indescribable aura, like a knife, like a sword, and like a volcano on the verge of eruption, those peach blossom eyes are fierce and terrifying, in addition to the crazy state at the beginning, as if a soul has changed.
The big fat man's face turned pale with fright, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing, as if he was ready to resist to the end.
"Alas......"
A sigh rang out.
