Chapter 7: Someone is Coming
The auctioneer is a young girl with a beautiful face, the tight-fitting cheongsam tightly wraps the graceful body, and the snow-white thighs appear half-hidden and half-visible from the slit of the cheongsam intentionally or unintentionally. The upcoming auction is a rusty piece of old metal, which, according to the trader, was discovered by an explorer from an ancient tomb and should be a relic of a reclusive immortal cultivator. The starting price was 50 gold coins and the auction price was 10 gold coins, because no one was optimistic about this metal, and now the bid has reached 80 gold coins and has already been quoted twice.
"Ninety gold coins. Before Yao Yan could sit down, the pharmacist couldn't wait to start bidding.
"One hundred gold coins. "It's still the buyer who bid for eighty gold coins before.
Not to be outdone, the "One Thousand Gold Coins" medicine man added the gold coins to an unprecedented top almost instantly.
"This buyer, please wait a minute, in order to prevent malicious bidding, buyers who bid more than 1,000 gold coins need to prove that you are rich enough to continue bidding. We are very quick and we hope you can understand, I am sorry. The auctioneer on the stage explained apologetically.
"Sister Ya, he can participate in the auction, he is Sister Xueji's honored guest. It was Xiao Zhou who spoke, and when he was looking for Yao Yan, he was attracted by the voice of the medicine man, and when he turned his head to see that it was Yao Yan.
Yao Yan turned his head to look at Xiao Zhou, he remembered Xiao Zhou, after all, they had just met yesterday, and they had stayed together for so long, and they scared people into tears, which was really impressive. Yao Yan nodded to Xiao Zhou to say hello, Xiao Zhou also nodded to Yao Yan, and then ran to Yao Yan's side, waiting for Yao Yan to continue bidding.
"One thousand and one hundred thousand!"
"One thousand and two hundred thousand!"
"One thousand and three hundred thousand!"
......
The elders and patriarchs of several small families continued to bid, and Yao Lao did not participate. This piece of rusty iron looks ordinary, just a little residual murderous aura. It should be a slightly stronger immortal cultivator's spiritual weapon, but too much time has passed, and the remaining spirituality on it has been exhausted by time, and even the use can't be seen. Originally, everyone was not optimistic about this piece of metal, but later when they heard Yao Lao's offer and Xiao Zhou's conversation with the auctioneer, they felt that it must be right to follow Xue Ji's distinguished guests. As everyone knows, the pharmacist's participation in the bidding is just an itchy hand, and the auction is fun. Anyway, you can casually use a few kitchen knives to refine a spirit sword worth tens of millions of gold coins, and one gold coin can buy thousands of kitchen knives to refine dozens or even hundreds of spirit weapons. Gold coins are simply as much as they can for the medicine man. The reason why he didn't do this was just to let Yao Yan try to support himself as much as possible, so that he could exercise his ability, and this first sword was just a demonstration for Yao Yan and the beginning of his early cultivation.
"Twenty million once, twenty million twice, twenty million three times, get married, congratulations to the head of the Murong family for getting this piece, this piece, this piece of metal. The auctioneer wanted to give this piece of metal a loud name, so that the head of the Murong family felt that he was not so losing, but he really didn't know what to name this scrap metal, so he finally gave up.
"Haha, thank you Brother Si Gong for being willing to cut your love, I accepted this piece of metal, hahaha" It was Murong Xian, the head of the Murong family, who spoke.
"Hehe, it's just a piece of broken iron. Brother Murong said seriously," Murong Xian's face was heavy, but he still politely replied
The Murong family and the Sigong clan in Sudar City are the three major families together with the Yao clan of the Yaoyan family. But in terms of strength, the Murong clan is slightly higher than the Yao clan, and the Sigong clan is at the bottom. However, if you count the army managed by Yao Ting as the city lord, then the Yao clan is still higher than the Murong clan. The three major families are in a delicate position, if one family takes the lead in forcibly annexing or forcibly suppressing a family, once the losing family resists and resists, both sides will lose greatly, and thus be annexed by the third clan who stands by and watches. Even if it is not annexed, it will still be difficult to resist the suppression of the third family in the end, and it will gradually take turns to become an ordinary family. Even if there is a strong person in the family and the capital to turn over, it will be permanently suppressed by the third clan, and it is difficult to have room for maneuver. The same subtle three-legged momentum makes the three major families tense, even if they maintain the appearance of being brothers, they are all looking for opportunities to barrel black knives behind their backs.
In this way, the medicine man played a few more rounds, but never bought anything. Every time the bid is called, it will be snatched away by the two major families. If it weren't for the fact that he would have to buy 30,000 medicinal herbs from Xue Ji in a while, he was afraid that the gold coins would not be enough, and he would not be able to refine the spirit weapon on such an occasion, he would have shouted out 13 million gold coins.
"You are too much, if the old man doesn't shout the price, you won't buy it, and when the old man shouts the price, you all have to rush it. It's really a bully!people!too!very!" The medicine man couldn't afford to play a little, and the huge soul power carried a voice to shock everyone present except Yao Yan and Xiao Zhou.
In an instant, Yao Yan and everyone outside Xiao Zhou squatted in pain and blocked their ears, waiting for the roar to dissipate.
"Your Excellency, please calm your anger, you are negligent, under Murong Xian, what has your eyes on, just say, my Murong family will do my best to take it for you. "The first reaction of the family when encountering such a high-ranking person is definitely to pull in. If this person can make friends with the family, or even come to the family to live for a few days, it will be a great help to the family, and it will be worth the cost. What's more, this person is also the guest of honor of Xue Ji, the most authoritative person in the Sortol auction house, and maybe he can cooperate with the auction house to reap greater benefits.
"Under the patriarch of the Gong family, Si Gong Sheng, if you are willing to associate with our Gong family. Our Gong Sheng guarantees that no matter what your requirements, our Gong family will do their best to meet them. Si Gong Sheng's strength was slightly inferior to Murong Xian, and it took a little longer to come back to his senses than Murong Xian, but he also reacted, and not to be outdone, he hugged his fists and showed favor to Yaoyan.
"Although the Si Gong family is among the three major families in Sudar City, it is not as good as my Murong family in terms of strength and wealth. Moreover, the old guy Si Gong Sheng has a bad character, and so must the Si Gong people. I also hope that Your Excellency will come to my Murong family to walk around. Murong Xian tried his best to discredit Si Gongsheng, and after speaking, he turned his head and laughed at him.
"Hmph, Murong Shi, how can you talk like an old thief? I also hope that Your Excellency will come to our clan more often, no matter what your Excellency asks, the Si Gong family will do their best. Our Gong Sheng does what he says. Si Gong Sheng stunned Murong Xian back, and finally deliberately made any request a little heavier and turned his head to look at Murong Xian, revealing a hint of provocative expression.
......
"Presumptuous!" Seeing that the two were still endlessly smearing each other and co-opting themselves, the medicine man's anger became worse because he couldn't buy anything. "Who has given you the audacity to be so noisy, and if any of you say one more nonsense, the old man will immediately wipe you out of this world. Don't talk about you two little primordial babies, even if the god sealer comes, it won't work, that's what I said. The medicine man's entire sentence was full of soul power, this kind of soul power hit the soul directly, and no matter how powerful the true qi was, it couldn't stop it. In an instant, the VIP seats where the Si Gong and Murong families were located burst instantly, and everyone inside was shocked and fell to the ground spitting blood.
"Get out!" the medicine man snorted coldly.
Although the medicine man was a little angry, he never used his real strength and did not have a killing intent, and in the end, he recovered a lot of soul power. Murong Xian and Si Gong Sheng and the elders of the two patriarchs were only injured internally, and they were not fatal. Everyone was tenacious enough, fell from such a high place, and suffered internal injuries, and crawled away without a sound.
"The annoying guy is gone, you go ahead. The pharmacist motioned for the auctioneer to continue the auction.
The auctioneer was a little panicked, after all, she was a little girl, and she had never seen such a strong person, not to mention that the voice was indeed a little shocking. Finally, holding the auction hammer, he stood up tremblingly.
Yao had also seen such a big scene with some novelty, and turned to look around. Everyone had seen the strength of the medicine man, who could suppress the thousands of people in the entire auction hall with a roar at the same time. Every time Yao Yan looked at a place, a group of buyers climbed under their seats to avoid the dazzling gaze, and they were very afraid that they would provoke Yao Yan by doing something wrong. But they were all curious about Yaoyan's next move, and hid under the seat for a while, and then they all poked their heads out to watch.
"The next auction item is a first-grade pill, Qi Condensing Pill. Presumably, everyone knows the effect of the Qi Condensing Pill - helping the cultivators of the True Qi Nine Heavens to successfully condense into a cyclone and advance to the Qi cultivation period. Condensing Qi Pill, the starting price is 500 gold coins, and the bidding price is 50 gold coins. After a while, Sister Ya on the stage slowly recovered and continued the auction.
The medicine man spent more than 10,000 gold coins to buy a bunch of useless things except for condensing qi, but they were all a deal, no one raised the price, and no one dared to bid. It wasn't until the medicine man got tired of playing and signaled in the sea of souls that Yao Yan could do business.
"Hey, Xiao Zhou, why are you here?" the medicine man was playing too hilariously before, and the moment Yao Yan turned around, he saw Xiao Zhou still standing beside him, and blurted out.
"I've been here, Sister Xue Ji asked me to come down to pick you up, saying that she was waiting for you in the conference room on the third floor. I didn't bother you when I saw you shopping. Xiao Zhou explained, "By the way, sir, may I ask why you are buying the embroidery of the Star Luo Academy and the rouge of Yunding, and the calligraphy and paintings of the Iron and Blood Empire?
"I don't know, Ning Qi Sa, buy it and eat it. The rest is useless, just buy it for fun, buy it casually, do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you. "Medicine people are like that, they don't care about strangers, but they don't let orcs suffer. In addition, he already had pity for Xiao Zhou yesterday, and now he loves her even more.
"Really? But...... That's not good. Xiao Zhou was happy for a moment, and then thought of a gift of more than 10,000 gold coins from a stranger, which was really unreasonable, and finally said the second half of the sentence a little bit wanting but not daring to ask.
"Let's go, let's go find Yukihime first. "I'm done playing, if I don't do anything else, it's going to be dark, and Yao Yan won't have a chance to go home to practice.
"Wow, oh, oh" Xiao Zhou took Yao Yan to the conference room where Xue Ji was waiting for Yao Yan.
"Please come in" came from Yukihime's voice
"Sir, please, Sister Xue Ji is waiting for you. Xiao Zhou pushed open the door and didn't go in, but stood at the door to block the door for Yaoyan, introduced Yaoyan into the conference room, and closed the door by himself.
"Sir, are you satisfied with our service?" Yukihime stood up and showed her proud figure.
"It's too little tricks, it's not fun. The medicine man didn't even look at it, and directly put forward his opinion.
"Forehead......" Yaoyan is the same as Xue Ji, his face is full of black lines, this is an auction house, I want to go to the playground for entertainment.
"Hehe, sir, you are smiling, I apologize to you for my previous mistakes, sorry, it was my poor management of my subordinates that caused you trouble. As she spoke, Xue Ji was already bowing and apologizing, inadvertently leaking a snow-white piece of snow from her chest.
"Forget it, I have something for you to help with. Prepare the medicinal materials according to this list, and I also need a furnace for pharmacists to refine medicines. Also, I bought a lot of things just now, so you can calculate how many gold coins there are, and add these to settle together. Yao Yan cooperated with the medicine man's words and handed the medicine list that the medicine man gave him in the morning to Xue Ji.
"So many? We probably don't have so many warehouses, you might have to wait a little longer, and I'll have someone buy it." Yukihime was a little shocked when she saw the last 10,000 plants on the list.
"Okay, don't keep me waiting too long, I have something to do in the evening. As the medicine man spoke, Yao Yan had already sat down in the nearest seat.
"Xiao Zhou, come in. Seeing that Yaoyan had already started waiting, Xue Ji didn't delay much, and directly called Xiao Zhou in to start arranging.
After Yukihime had everything arranged, she walked around the door again. It wasn't until he was sure that he couldn't hear their conversation that he closed the door and slowly walked towards Yaoyan.
"I don't know what Your Excellency wants so many medicinal herbs for?" Xue Ji sat down in the seat next to Yao Yan and asked boldly towards Yao Yan.
"Alchemy. The medicine man didn't pay much attention to it, and then blurted out.
"Your Excellency can not only refine weapons, but also refine medicine, Your Excellency is really powerful. Xue Ji's eyes were fixed on the face of the black-robed man in front of her, and her voice became more and more delicate, and she kept getting closer, determined to see the face in the shadow of the hat.
Although the medicine man didn't speak, he was still very happy to hear that he was praised. Although he noticed Xue Ji's intentions, he didn't remind Yao Yan, because he had been praised by Xue Ji by a word.
Yao Yan suddenly realized Xue Ji's intentions, and instantly avoided Xue Ji's prying eyes.
"Sir, what are you afraid of, are you afraid that I will eat you?" Seeing that Yaoyan was a little resistant, Xue Ji did not continue, but made a rather emotional joke and waited for Yaoyan's reaction.
"Sir, you must be thirsty after playing down here for so long, right? Come, have a cup of tea?" Seeing that Yaoyan never responded, he could only change the topic in the end. As he spoke, he had already poured a cup of tea, no more, no less.
Yao Yan reached out and took the tea, just took a sip and put it on the table again.
At this moment of receiving the cup, Yukihime had already determined that these hands were the hands of a child, and immediately made a bold decision.
"Young Master Yaoyan, I don't know if our Sotol tea is good or not?" After speaking, he stared at Yaoyan tightly, ready to analyze his every move.
"Forget it, don't pretend, she's already tested me many times, and it's no fun to pretend anymore. Anyway, we will have to find him to cooperate with the Yao family in the future, and we can't protect the family forever. Yao Yan explained his thoughts to the medicine man from the sea of souls.
"You've already thought about it, then decide, this is your family's matter, and you should settle it. I won't speak for a while, so as not to distract you, and it just so happens that this is your first communication in the WTO. Learn more. In the end, the medicine man did not forget to give a word.
"Well, got it. Yao Yan responded to the medicine man in his mind as he lifted the big hat of the robe on his body.
"Miss Xue Ji is really Bing Xue smart, and she is not the chief auctioneer of this huge auction house. Yaoting embarrassed the business and blew it to each other.
"Young Master Yaoyan is really polite, where did you get the sword you bought yesterday? Can you tell my sister something?" Xue Ji breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she guessed correctly, otherwise......
"My master's old and unserious practice for me. Yaoyan didn't save any face, and said it directly in front of him.
"I ...... Forget it, the apprentices you accept yourself have to endure crying. The medicine man thought so, and did not say anything.
"Giggles, Brother Yaoyan is so naughty. Can you tell me, who is your master?" Xue Ji already regarded Yao Yan as a child, casually putting the information she wanted.
"My master has a bad temper, you can tell me anything directly, and I will convey it for you. Yao Yan casually played haha, joking, the medicine man is now a soul body, how can it be possible for outsiders to know?
"This ...... I am the direct bloodline of the patriarch of the family, but I can't cultivate due to physical problems. Later, the family asked me to manage this auction house, and if I couldn't cultivate in two years, I would have to stay here forever. I want your master to help me see if my physique has been saved. Yukihime was silent for a long time, and finally said what she was worried about.
"Yaoyan, her qualifications are mediocre, her dantian and Ben can't tolerate a trace of true qi, and there is no sign of true qi in her whole body, and this kind of physique can't be cultivated. Almost as soon as Yukihime finished speaking, the medicine man told Yao Yan the answer.
"We are in a similar situation, I want to help her, master, can you help her also make an elixir?" Yao Yan looked at Xue Ji's hopeful eyes, and finally asked again.
"This ...... Well, the most I can do is help her condense the cyclone, and it will be very painful. But in the end, how far she can cultivate can only depend on herself, and she may only be able to stay in the Dan period forever. At the same time as the voice reached Yao Yan's ears, he also conjured up a medicine list in front of Yao Yan.
"Now, it's this medicine list. Yao Yan handed the medicine slip to Xue Ji. He didn't look at it, and he didn't plan to do it, because he knew it wasn't something he could help with.
"One third-order demonic beast core, three dragon whiskers of a second-order dragon-type demonic beast that is more than a cubit long, forty complete fruits of mandala flowers, one complete divine grass that is more than a hundred years old, one complete seven-colored jade spring grass, one complete red plant, three complete low-level Anji plants, and ten pearls of Luotian. This ......" Yukihime looked at the medicine list in front of her and was a little stunned.
"Isn't there a bit too much? not now, we can still find a way, don't be too ......" Yaoyan seemed to need to try to comfort Yukihime, but she hugged her
"Thank you, these medicinal herbs are available in the warehouse, what does your master have time for? I must find a chance to thank you in person. By the way, where did you get this Danfang?" Yukihime had never been so excited. Looking at Yao Yan seemed to be like seeing a savior. But then he raised his own doubts.
"Well, my master should have time at any time. This, just now he bought something but bidding for it, and was robbed of a few things. Then he yelled, didn't you hear it?" Yao Yan didn't know that the roar of the medicine man was wrapped in soul power, and he couldn't wear it so far, and the damage to others was only a shock to the soul.
"Maybe it's too noisy down there. Xue Ji was a little embarrassed, Yaoyan's master was so powerful. If you can't buy something and rob others, no one will believe it. Suddenly, I didn't know how to continue, and only answered the second half of the sentence.
"Anyway, I thank you in advance, and if there is anything to help in the future, please don't hesitate to mention it. Yukihime generously promised.
"Wow. There was another knock at the door.
"Please come in!" Xue Ji put the medicine list given by Yao Yan into the storage crystal on her chest like a treasure, and turned to respond with a crisp voice. At the same time, Yao Yan also put on the hat on his black robe again.
"Sister Xue Ji, sir, this is the medicinal herbs you want, the medicine tripod and some of the goods you bought, a total of 130,000 gold coins," Xiao Zhou said, directing the two of them to the storage crystal on the red plate in his hand
"Well, hard work. While the medicine man thanked him, Yao Yan had already transferred all the medicinal materials in the storage crystal on the plate, along with the medicine tripod and the condensing qi pill, to his own storage crystal. In addition, Yao Yan put all the things that the medicine man promised to send Xiao Zhou on the table. After completing these things, it took a lot of soul power to count 50,000 gold coins. In fact, most of them are estimated piles, and gold coins have a certain weight, as long as the weight of how many gold coins are superimposed on a single weight, you can get the weight of the required number of gold coins.
"After taking the things, the gold coins have been transferred to the storage crystal. I still have something to do today, you will give it to me when you have all the medicinal materials, and I will ask the master to help you refine it" The medicine man did not speak, this time it was Yao Yan who spoke openly in the black robe in front of Xiao Zhou and Xue Ji, and after speaking, he waved his hand and walked out of the conference room.
"Yo, so many good things. Yukihime looked at the mess of knick-knick-knacks on the table, and her tone was slightly sour.
"Sister Xue Ji, look at this...... If it's okay, I'll go down first?" Xiao Zhou knew that he was still working, and he didn't plan to stay any longer.
"Don't do me a favor, prepare these herbs and keep them for now, and then inform everyone to take a day off. Come back and pack up your stuff later, and keep the meeting room tidy. Yukihime was in a good mood, the biggest problem was solved, what else could there be to be unhappy about? The body that suddenly relaxed was immediately occupied by sleepiness, and she knew that her body needed to rest and wait to be reborn.
"Yes!" Xiao Zhou heard Xue Ji's words, 'These things of yours', and instantly came to his heart, and Xue Ji acquiesced to the large number of gifts she received from Yaoyan.
At the same time, in another corner of another space, a gloomy figure slowly opened his eyes: "Sun Luo, what are you doing in the mortal realm? Rebelling against a swarm of ants is really wishful thinking. 2333333333333”
"Teacher, when are we going to start?"
As soon as he entered the house, Yaoyan couldn't wait to ask.
"Xiao Yanzi, look at it. ”
The medicine man waved his big hand, and in an instant, Luo Ling, Bai Xu, and Ku Zhe each floated towards the medicine man from the storage crystal in Yao Yan's hand.
"Purify!"
While reminding Yaoyan, the medicine man deliberately slowed down his technique a lot.
"Crush with soul power"
The medicine man reminded him, and in an instant, the majestic soul power instantly crushed more than thirty medicinal herbs into flying dust. But this dust did not drift away, but was gathered by the soul power of the medicine man.
"Removing impurities"
As soon as the medicine man's voice fell, suddenly a black 'bang' exploded instantly, enveloping all the medicine powder. Then the black fireball disappeared instantly, and the whole process was just a moment, fleeting. The medicinal powder in front of the medicine practitioner was all refined into countless tiny water droplets, and finally condensed into a drop of medicine liquid the size of a pigeon's egg by the medicine person's soul power.
"Collect the medicine. As the last word of the medicine man fell, the drop of medicine fell into the jade screen that had been prepared to be specially supplied to the medicine master.
"This is a warm spiritual liquid, specially prepared for you. Usage: Dissolve in warm water and lie down in a diluted solution to absorb true qi. The medicinal power of these liquids will enter the meridians along with the true qi, and finally follow the true qi back to the dantian to achieve the effect of strengthening the meridians and the dantian. Not only did it increase the cultivation speed, but it also tempered the body. As the medicine man explained, Yao Yan had filled the bath bucket in the room with water.
"I see, isn't it just bathing and cultivating. Yao Yan didn't wait for Yao Yan to finish speaking, Yao Yan had already jumped into the bath with his pants on, and he was a little eager to try: "Teacher, hurry up, I can't wait." ”
"Oh yes, it might be a little painful for the medicinal power to pass through the meridians. The medicine man kept thinking about something, and finally remembered the moment the medicine was poured into the bath.
"Hurt?ah~~~~~~" Yao Yan had already begun to cultivate, and instantly reacted from his meditation, but it was too late, and the entire City Lord's Mansion was filled with a roar like killing pigs.
"Xiao Yanzi, don't scream, someone came in through the back door, it's not an immortal cultivator, it's an ordinary person. The medicine man suddenly reminded Yao Yan, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and burrowed into Yao Yan's soul sea.
