Mo Tang's Second Round of Fleece

Mo Tang's manor was also the former headquarters of the Dragon Head Mercenary Group in Black Rock City.

Although the manor was extremely luxurious, it was only average for Xiao Yan, who also came from a prominent family in Wutan City.

After all, the Xiao Clan was once a family that produced Dou Wang (Battle King). The fact that they could form a marriage alliance with a top family in the empire like the Nalan Family shows that the Xiao Clan had done quite well in the Jia Ma Empire.

Following President Frank, Xiao Yan walked along while quietly observing everything around him.

"Teacher, the guards here are all at least Five-Star Dou Practitioner. It seems that Mo Tang has a very strong force under his command."

The Old Yao chuckled and said, "Being able to obtain the Companion Purple Crystal Source indicates that this person has a close relationship with that female Dou Emperor... Do you think such a person would be weak?"

Xiao Yan nodded.

Meanwhile, Mo Tang, who had already received the report, was also very curious, wondering what the branch president of the Alchemist Guild wanted to see him about.

Could it be for the sake of the Companion Purple Crystal Source?

But didn't he already buy it at the Auction?

However, all these questions were instantly resolved upon seeing Xiao Yan following behind Frank.

"Second-Rank Alchemist..."

Seeing Xiao Yan wearing the alchemist's robe and the badge of Second-Rank Alchemist on his chest, Mo Tang was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, even though he lost two important opportunities because of his own actions, the boy still grew to this level in the end.

Sometimes, you have to marvel at the power of plot inertia...

Of course, although Xiao Yan's growth seems to have been without any major setbacks, his current level of development is completely incomparable to that in the original novel.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mo Tang went straight to the point and asked, "I wonder what brings Master Frank here today?"

Frank smiled slightly and said, "I wouldn't come here without a reason. I do have some matters to discuss with Commander Mo today... However, the Protagonist here isn't me, but rather my young friend Yan Xiao beside me..."

Frank turned slightly to the side, and Xiao Yan stepped forward at the opportune moment.

"Yan Xiao..."

Mo Tang smiled inexplicably and murmured the name softly.

"So, Mr. Yan Xiao, what brings you here?"

Xiao Yan straightened his expression and asked, "Commander Mo, the reason I asked Master Frank to introduce me this time is actually to ask if you still have any Companion Purple Crystal Source?"

"What? You want to trade this Companion Purple Crystal Source with me?" Mo Tang leaned back slightly, staring into Xiao Yan's eyes, and asked directly.

"Not bad," Xiao Yan replied, his expression unchanged.

"You want to trade? It's not impossible. However... the value of this Companion Purple Crystal Source is extremely high..."

Mo Tang pondered for a moment before finally speaking.

He still has five bottles of Companion Purple Crystal Source in his possession. Although they are intended as food for the future Little Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, if Xiao Yan can offer something compelling enough to entice him, a deal isn't out of the question...

Upon hearing Mo Tang speak, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he's not afraid of the other party making exorbitant demands; rather, he's afraid that the other party won't give him a chance to talk at all.

Xiao Yan said confidently, "I believe I can offer something that will entice Commander Mo!"

Seeing that the two were about to start discussing the price, Master Frank, knowing that his mission was complete, wisely left the living room, leaving the two parties to negotiate.

The bargaining for this deal lasted for fifteen minutes. When Xiao Yan came out again, his expression was not very good.

Frank, who was sitting in the courtyard pavilion drinking tea outside the door, got up and walked over. He looked at him and smiled, "What's wrong? Didn't you reach an agreement?"

Xiao Yan silently shook his head...

Upon seeing this, Frank immediately understood.

It seems the deal was indeed struck, but the price the little guy paid was too high, and it pained him...

But there's nothing we can do about it; it's your own fault for being so eager to find someone to trade with.

The other party is in a naturally advantageous position, so it's normal for them to be ruthlessly exploited.

Inside the hall, watching Xiao Yan's departing figure, Mo Tang, with a smile on his face, fiddled with a scroll and a bottle of pills in his hand...

This scroll contains a high-level Mysterious Tier Lightning Attribute Dou Technique — Thunder Dragon Roll!

The caster can create a massive lightning tornado around their body, which can be used for both offense and defense, similar to the cyan tornado that Yun Yun used when she fought the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

As for this bottle of pills, it is a pill that did not appear in the original Battle Through the Heavens novel, but appeared in the Legend of Yao Lao — the Marrow Cleansing Bone Strengthening Pill.

This is an Old Yao master, ranked Fourth-grade, with numerous uses. When ground into powder, it can be made into a medicinal bath powder; soaking in it can enhance one's natural talents. When added to soup, it can strengthen the body's foundation and nourish the vital energy. Direct consumption can strengthen the soul, and it has zero side effects or toxicity!

This can be considered a very practical elixir!

Clearly, this elixir could only have come from the hands of the Old Yao ...

In order to obtain the Companion Purple Crystal Source this time, Old Yao really suffered a huge loss.

A high-level Mysterious Tier Dou Technique is worth between Gold Coins and 600,000 Gold Coins, depending on its Dou Technique.

This Thunder Dragon Roll is extremely rare even among Mysterious Tier -rank Dou Technique, perhaps even surpassing Xiao Yan's Eight Extremes Collapsing. Therefore, its value should be around 600,000 Gold Coins ...

As for this Marrow Cleansing Bone Strengthening Pill ...

Although its trading value is not as high as that of the top-grade Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill, it is still better than that of the ordinary one-patterned and Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill.

Moreover, for Mo Tang at present, cultivation talent has always been his weakness, so this pill is even more valuable to him than the Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill ...

Therefore, all things considered, the value of the items obtained from exchanging this bottle of Companion Purple Crystal Source exceeds that of the items obtained at the previous Auction!

No wonder Xiao Yan's face was so dark when he left...

This is because I was so angry at Mo Tang's heartlessness!

Mo Tang was in a great mood after harvesting another batch of chives, so he had a table of food and wine prepared for him, and he planned to have a drink to celebrate.

However, his good mood didn't last long before it was completely ruined by news from Qingshan Town!

"What did you say? Xiao Yi Xian has disappeared? What happened?"

Mo Tang's deep voice contained boundless rage, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

Looking at the Guard Squad Dou Shi who had rushed over from Qingshan Town, his face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

Stared intently at by Mo Tang's sharp, sword-like gaze, the middle-aged guard trembled all over.

It took him a quarter of an hour to stammer out the details of what had happened during the time Mo Tang had been away from Qingshan Town.

After hearing what had happened, Mo Tang's expression did not improve at all; instead, it became even more gloomy.
