Stop Right There

After leaving the Xiao Family, Xiao Han and Xiao Yan headed straight for the Jialie Family's Market.

The moment they entered, a lively clamor rushed toward them. In the Market, people came and went, and the noise was considerable. Every shop was doing excellent business, especially the shops selling healing medicine.

After exchanging a glance, Xiao Han and Xiao Yan walked toward a medicine shop and soon bought a portion of the healing medicine refined by that First-grade Alchemist.

The healing medicine was called Spring Recovery Powder, and it had a certain restorative effect on injuries. This sort of medicine was very popular with mercenaries. After all, they made their living hunting Magic Beasts, living days with blood on the blade's edge. Sometimes, one portion of healing medicine was enough to save their lives.

In front of a Tea Shop, Xiao Han and Xiao Yan sat facing each other. Both of them were curiously examining a small jade bottle in their hands. What it contained was naturally Spring Recovery Powder.

"Teacher, does this count as a Tier 1 Pill?" After examining it for a while, Xiao Yan poured the medicinal powder inside into his palm and asked curiously.

"It doesn't. This is only the lowest-grade healing medicine. Only a First-grade Alchemist would have nothing better to do than refine these things," Yao Lao said.

"So that's how it is. No wonder it's only ten gold coins a bottle. I was wondering why it was so cheap." Xiao Yan nodded, then asked, "Teacher, do you have any healing medicine a little better than this?"

"Of course. What, you want to refine some healing medicine for the Xiao Family?" Yao Lao said.

"Mm. No matter how you look at it, I'm still the Young Master of the Xiao Family. I naturally can't just stand by and do nothing about this," Xiao Yan said.

"Mm, then that works out. In any case, you two brats have already advanced to Dou Zhe, so it's about time I taught you alchemy. I originally planned to pass it on when you went out for training, but since that's the case, I'll leave the matter of refining medicine this time to the two of you. Treat it as practice," Yao Lao said.

"Uh? We're going to refine medicine?" Hearing this, the two looked at each other, somewhat stunned.

"What, do you expect me to personally handle even these things?" Yao Lao snapped, then continued, "Go to the Mitel Auction House and buy two Medicine Cauldrons, then prepare plenty of medicinal ingredients. Tonight, you begin learning alchemy."

Hearing this, eagerness also appeared on Xiao Han and Xiao Yan's faces. Alchemists were the most esteemed profession on the Dou Qi Continent, so when it came to refining medicine, the two of them were naturally filled with anticipation.

"Xiao Han, leave buying the Medicine Cauldrons and medicinal ingredients to me. I'm more familiar with the Mitel Auction House, so it'll be easier to bargain. You go back first," Xiao Yan said. He always went there as the Black-robed Figure, so everyone at the Mitel Auction House thought he was an alchemist. Naturally, buying things would be cheaper.

"All right!" Xiao Han smiled and nodded, naturally knowing what Xiao Yan was planning. This fellow was probably going to take out that black robe and pretend to be an alchemist to swindle people again, right? "Go home and wait for my good news!" Xiao Yan smiled, then walked toward the Mitel Auction House.

Xiao Han sat in front of the Tea Shop for quite a while. After that, he strolled around the Market for a bit before heading home.

After returning to the Xiao Family, just as he reached his own courtyard, Xiao Han's footsteps came to a halt. His pupils shrank slightly, and he became alert.

At the entrance of the courtyard, a tall, delicate figure was leaning there lazily with both arms crossed before her chest. Her long, sexy Beautiful Legs were casually placed as well, extremely tempting.

At this moment, the owner of that delicate figure seemed to have sensed something. Her Beautiful Eyes swept over, only to see a Green-robed Youth hunched over, preparing to sneak away.

"Stop right there!"
