Chapter 17 Meeting with Consort Ya to Discuss Business
In the quiet room, the old apothecary picked up the purple orchid with his left hand, his eyes slightly narrowed.
A moment later, he exhaled softly, and the Bone Spirit Cold Flame suddenly rose up on his left palm.
As soon as the flames appeared, the temperature in the room rose considerably.
Staring intently at the ball of white flame, Xiao Yan was somewhat shocked.
He had already learned that this was the eleventh ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking!
With a calm expression, the white flame in the old medicine master's hand flickered slightly, engulfing the purple-leaf orchid.
An hour later.
Looking at the drop of jade-like liquid floating in Yao Lao's palm, Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together.
His extraordinary spiritual perception allowed him to clearly sense how abundant the energy of this liquid was.
"Give it a try and see how it goes."
With a flick of his finger, the jade liquid fell into the basin of clear water in the room.
Instantly, the basin of clear water turned blue.
Xiao Yan was overjoyed and quickly nodded.
……
Warm sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the window, casting dappled patterns of light that adorned the tidy room.
After a night of cultivation, Xiao Yan felt refreshed and invigorated.
The ridicule he endured for three years made him realize just how important strength was on this continent.
Therefore, he is now very grateful to Ancestor Xiao Chen.
It should be noted that the foundation of cultivating battle qi is particularly difficult.
There are quite a few people who spend ten or even twenty years to reach the initial tenth stage of Dou Qi.
Xiao Chen was also thinking about this matter at this moment.
The original work mentioned that once one becomes a true fighter, their cultivation speed will greatly accelerate.
Before becoming a Fighter, a year might only allow one to increase their Fighting Qi by one level.
However, once you reach the Fighter level, you might be able to rise several stars in a year.
This statement is indeed quite intriguing.
That morning, Xiao Chen once again led Xiao Yan out of the Xiao family gate.
"Xiao Yan, there are countless medicinal herbs on the Dou Qi Continent. If you want to concoct pills with different effects, you must select from these countless materials the ones that can neutralize the violent energy in the demon core you need to refine. Only in this way can you successfully refine the pills you need."
"If we just haphazardly put things together, it would be a minor matter if the furnace is destroyed and the pills are damaged, but if there is a backlash, then we would be losing more than we gain."
"This Foundation Building Elixir is a formula that your teacher refined after several years of experimentation."
"During the refining process, the degree of fusion and amount of the three materials, as well as the concentration of the flame, all require countless experiments and an extraordinary spiritual perception to master."
"Therefore, within the Gama Empire, no one can refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir we have. You need to understand what that means."
Xiao Chen spoke as he walked.
Meanwhile, the old man in the ring wore an air of arrogance.
Somewhat shocked by the complexity of this Foundation Establishment Elixir, Xiao Yan subconsciously licked his lips.
Yesterday, when I watched the old master refine medicine, I thought it was very simple.
Now he realized that refining elixirs was far more than what he could see on the surface.
Soon, the two arrived at their destination.
Mittel Auction House, the largest auction house in Utan City.
They also belong to the wealthiest family in the Gama Empire.
The Mittel family.
In the Gama Empire, the Mittel family is probably the wealthiest.
This family has been developing in the Gama Empire for hundreds of years, and their relationships are quite complex.
According to some rumors, this incredibly wealthy family seems to have an ambiguous relationship with the royal family of the Gama Empire.
In the empire, the Mittel family, along with the Nalan family and the Mu family, are known as the three giants of Gama.
These three families have a presence in the empire's business and military circles, and their influence is considerable.
But in Xiao Chen's eyes, these three families were nothing special.
Looking at the massive venue at the end of the street, and under the watchful eyes of several fully armed guards at the entrance, Xiao Chen led Xiao Yan inside.
Xiao Chen glanced around the magnificent, spacious hall, nodded slightly, and then walked toward a room to the side.
The door to the house is marked with three large, gleaming gold characters: “Jianbaoshi” (鑒宝室).
Pushing open the door, the room felt somewhat empty.
Only one middle-aged man sat somewhat bored in a chair at the table.
Hearing the door open, the middle-aged man looked up and saw two teenagers. His brows furrowed imperceptibly.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and a professional smile immediately appeared on his face: "Senior Xiao Chen, are you planning to appraise the treasure?"
"Have you seen me before?" Xiao Chen asked, raising an eyebrow.
The middle-aged man glanced at the small golden snake on Xiao Chen's shoulder, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I have never seen it, but I have heard of your deeds."
"I see."
Xiao Chen took two steps forward, casually took out a white jade bottle from his pocket, and gently placed it on the table.
"What is this?" The middle-aged man blinked in confusion, carefully picked up the white jade bottle, and sniffed the mouth of the bottle lightly.
A moment later, his expression changed slightly, and his gaze towards Xiao Chen was filled with deep awe: "Senior is also an alchemist?"
"Um."
"Excuse me, what kind of medicine is this bottle? What are its effects?" the middle-aged man asked respectfully.
"Foundation Building Elixir can increase the cultivation speed of Battle Qi, but it is only effective for those below the Battle Master level."
"What? It can increase the cultivation speed of battle qi?" The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.
It is common knowledge that one's fighting spirit can only be cultivated in a conventional way.
Moreover, the meridians in the body of cultivators at this stage are extremely fragile. If the medicine is too strong, it will result in the tragic end of broken meridians and death!
"My spiritual liquid has no side effects, and its medicinal properties are extremely mild. It won't cause that kind of result, so you can rest assured." Xiao Chen knew what the person in front of him was thinking.
His expression changed again. The middle-aged man carefully placed the white jade bottle back on the table and said respectfully, "Senior, could you please wait a moment? I need to fetch the person in charge of our auction house to discuss this with you."
"Okay, hurry up." With a wave of his hand, Xiao Chen sat down on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Xiao Yan stood to the side, glancing towards the door every now and then.
Soon, the middle-aged man returned.
This time, however, he also brought with him an elderly man in a blue robe with slightly graying hair and a beautiful woman in a red dress.
"Is this Senior Xiao Chen? I've heard so much about you." A fragrant breeze wafted by, and a soft, sweet laugh suddenly rang in Xiao Chen's ears, causing his heart to tremble slightly.
After cursing inwardly that she really was a vixen, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and calmly looked at the woman in the red dress.
The first meeting was a close encounter.
Xiao Chen truly experienced the woman's mature charm.
Her pretty face, radiating a charming smile, held a pair of long, narrow, watery eyes that seemed to be constantly releasing allure to men.
Her long, elegant neck, the deep white of her breasts, and her slender waist, all exuded natural allure as she swayed.
Looking at this beautiful scenery, Xiao Yan's face felt a little hot.
He knew this woman.
Chief Auctioneer at Mittel Auction House.
Ya Fei.
The beauty who is known to almost everyone in Utan City.
Her mature and alluring charm made many men fall at her feet.
