Chapter 70: Refining Liquids
Xiao Fan and Huo Ziming soon came to the auction house, almost all the auction houses in the Easy Empire belonged to the Bei family, and the auction house in Lae City was no exception.
Xiao Fan and the others were just about to enter the auction hall when the two guards at the door blocked them.
"You need to pay five silver coins per person to enter the auction hall!" said one of the guards without any expression.
"Huh, do you have to pay to enter the venue?" Xiao Fan asked in surprise.
"Nonsense, if you don't have to pay the fee, then the auction hall will be crowded with people every day......" The guard still didn't have any expression.
Xiao Fan thought about it, by the way, the token that Bei Keer gave him, "Then can I go in with this?" Xiao Fan showed the token that Bei Keer gave him to the guards.
The guard's color suddenly changed at this time, "Of course, you can wait here for a while, and I will help you call the chief steward." With that, the guard hurried into the auction hall.
Soon, the escort who had just left returned and brought a middle-aged man with him.
At this time, the middle-aged man walked towards Xiao Fan, "Can you show me your token?"
Xiao Fan didn't mind and handed the token to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and then he handed the token back to Xiao Fan, "Hello, are you a member of the Pei family?"
Xiao Fan looked inexplicable, "No!"
The middle-aged man smiled, "That must be the VIP of the Bei family, hello, I am a foreigner from the Bei family, and I am the head of this auction house." ”
"Hello, Mr. Bei...... Can I go in?"
Mr. Bei found out that he was rude, "Of course you can, please come in!"
Xiao Fan and Huo Ziming then entered the auction hall under the guidance of Director Bei.
"May I ask your two surnames?" asked Mr. Bei.
Xiao Fan thought for a while, "My surname is Xiao!"
Huo Ziming didn't think about it, "My surname is Huo!"
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Xiao and Miss Fire!" said Mr. Pei.
Xiao Fan took out the six tree wolf's magic cores at this time, and said to Chief Bei, "Chief Bei, how much are these magic cores worth?"
Manager Bei looked at the magic core in Xiao Fan's hand, "These are the magic cores of the beast, a hardware coin." ”
At this time, Huo Ziming spoke, "These things can actually be sold for money, great, there will be money now...... It's just six magic cores, and it can be sold for a total of thirty gold coins, which is not enough!"
Xiao Fan also ignored Huo Ziming, "Manager Bei, can one only sell hardware coins?"
"Yes. ”
At this time, Huo Ziming spoke again, "One-eyed Fan, I killed so many Sky Devouring Ants in the Beast God Forest before, didn't you pick up the demon core?"
At this time, Manager Bei next to him smiled, "Hehe, girl, you don't know, most of the demonic beasts in the world have magic cores, but the Sky Devouring Ants don't, which is also the reason why their individual strength is not strong." ”
"Huh, no?" Huo Ziming wanted to confirm.
"Well, but the Sky Eater Queen has a magic core. ”
Xiao Fan was stunned, he didn't think too much about killing the Sky Devouring Ant Queen at that time, and he didn't take the magic core at all.
Huo Ziming asked Xiao Fan instead, "One-eyed Fan, after we killed the queen ant at that time, did you take the demon core?" ”
"How can I still be in the mood to get the magic core in that case. ”
"What......" Huo Ziming just wanted to speak, but Manager Bei spoke.
"You've killed the Sky Eater Queen?"
Xiao Fan scratched his head, "That's right!"
"So, you're already spirits?"
"That's right!" Xiao Fan responded calmly.
Manager Bei was a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to be a spirit at a young age, it's very good." ”
Xiao Fan smiled at Manager Bei at this time, "Manager Bei, for the sake of me being the VIP of the Bei family, can you lend me some money?"
Manager Bei shook his head, "If you are a descendant of the Pei family, it is nothing to take some money, but you are not from the Bei family, and if I want to lend you money, I really can't call the shots." ”
"Huh?
Manager Bei thought for a while, "It seems that you are very short of money......
"Yes, we want to use the teleportation array, but we still have a hundred gold coins left!" Xiao Fan said.
"In that case, and you are also spirits, I give you a suggestion that you can make money!"
"What's the solution?" Xiao Fan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"It's to help us refine the liquid medicine at the auction. Mr. Pei said.
"Refining the potion?"
"Yes, it is to refine the essence of the herbs, but only people with the strength of the spirit can refine it, and if you are familiar with the use of fire, by the way, are you good at using fire?"
Huo Ziming hurriedly spoke at this time, "We will use fire, but how much money can we make?"
"Help refine a herb essence for four gold coins!"
"How much can I earn that morning?" Xiao Fan asked.
"Ordinary people can refine one plant in half an hour, five or six plants in the morning!"
"Huh, that's not enough!" Huo Ziming complained.
Xiao Fan was very calm, "Cut, didn't you listen to Mr. Bei, ordinary people will only refine five or six plants, is my brother an ordinary person?"
Huo Ziming looked contemptuous about this.
Then Xiao Fan and Huo Ziming followed Chief Pei to a separate room with a pile of herbs and a half-human-high ding.
"Refining is a process that requires concentration, so refine in the room. Mr. Pei said.
Then Manager Bei took Xiao Fan a bottle with a green medicinal liquid, "This is a sample, you just need to put those medicinal herbs into the medicine pod, and then use the fire to burn the medicinal herbs to refine until you refine a medicinal liquid like a sample, you can try it, if it doesn't work, come to me again." After Mr. Bei finished speaking, he left.
Xiao Fan looked at the herbs and then at the sample, "It shouldn't be difficult!"
"There is only one medicine ding, One-Eyed Fan, this matter will be left to you!" Huo Ziming found a place to sit down.
"With ......" Xiao Fan didn't say anything, looking at Huo Ziming's threatening eyes, he consciously shut up.
"It should be easy, it's similar to how stir-frying. Xiao Fan then put a medicinal herb into the medicine pod as Chief Pei said, and then used Zizaitan to refine it.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Fan actually refined it, "Haha, Lao Tzu is really not an ordinary person, he learned it so quickly!"
At this time, Huo Ziming walked over, looked at the bottle of medicinal liquid that Xiao Fan had refined, and then looked at the sample, "No, the color of the sample is light green, and the color you refined is dark green, you must have also refined the pigment of the herb, so it failed." ”
"Ah, won't it?" Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, "Hmph, then come again, Lao Tzu can't believe it and can't refine it!"
Xiao Fan continued to refine, but he did not pour out the first bottle of medicinal liquid, but took an empty wine jar and put it up.
Xiao Fan directly stuffed the two herbs into the medicine pod and continued to refine them......
The second refining took a quarter of an hour, and the medicinal liquid refined by Xiao Fan was still dark green, Xiao Fan wondered, was there anything he couldn't do?
Xiao Fan poured the medicinal liquid into the wine jar before, and continued to refine, this time he stuffed ten herbs into the medicine pot.
This time, Xiao Fan took half an hour, after all, he had to refine ten herbs at the same time...... However, the liquid is still dark green.
"Ya, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, I won't be able to refine it!" Xiao Fan continued to refine, and he stuffed ten more herbs into the medicine tripod.
Half an hour passed, Xiao Fan failed again, and refined again......
A morning passed, and at this time, the herbs in the room were all used up, a total of almost fifty herbs, all of which were refined by Xiao Fan, but Xiao Fan just didn't refine the medicinal liquid of the same color as the sample.
Xiao Fan looked at the half jar of dark green medicinal liquid in front of him, "Fire Tiger, you said that the herbs were refined, do we need to pay for it?"
Huo Ziming also stared at the half jar of medicinal liquid, "I think I must lose, but I didn't expect to lose money in the end, but I lost it!"
At this time, Manager Bei walked in, and Xiao Fan and Huo Ziming hurriedly stood up.
"Brother Xiao, how is it, how many bottles have been refined?" asked Mr. Bei.
"Well, this ......" Xiao Fan hesitated.
At this time, Manager Bei found that the herbs in the room were gone, and he couldn't help frowning, "Why are these herbs gone?"
Xiao Fan spoke, "Manager Bei, may I ask if the herbs are not successfully refined, do I have to pay for them?"
"Yes, one plant pays a gold coin, why are you asking this?"
Xiao Fan smiled, "I'm sorry, the herbs have been refined by me!"
"What? It's all turned to dust?"
"It's not turned into ashes, it's all been refined into liquid medicine by me, but the color is a little different from the sample you gave...... Xiao Fan said.
"The colors are different, where? Let me see!"
Xiao Fan then handed over the half jar of medicinal liquid to Chief Pei.
Mr. Bei looked at it, sniffed it again, and suddenly seemed to have determined something, and his face was shocked......
