A warm smile immediately appeared on his face, he quickly stepped forward and held his hands.
"This must be Alchemy Master, right? I have admired you for a long time! I am Bai Xiaofeng, Heavenly Snake City Son of the City Lord. I am truly lucky to see the master today!"
Jiang Donghua was stunned by his sudden enthusiasm and subconsciously stood up to return the favor.
"Eh? Mr. Bai is too polite."
Bai Xiaofeng smiled even brighter and sat down next to Jiang Donghua, looking familiar.
"Master can refine Fourth-grade Pill at such a young age. He is truly gifted! I wonder where he learned from? Is he a master of the Northwestern Continent?"
Started to test.
Hong Ling leaned against the window and watched with cold eyes, a sneer on his lips.
Jiang Donghua scratched his head and said vaguely.
"This master doesn't like publicity, so it's okay not to mention it."
Bai Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and immediately changed direction.
"Haha, I understand! Masters are always indifferent to fame and wealth. So, master, is this visit to Black Corner Region for a trip or..."
"Just passing by."
Jiang Donghua smiled, still watertight.
Bai Xiaofeng cursed secretly in his heart.
"Little Fox".
But there was no sign of it on his face, and he continued to ramble.
"Oh, Master, you came at just the right time! We Heavenly Snake Mansion just collected a batch of rare medicinal materials recently. If Master is interested, why not come and have a chat at your house?"
"What about this?"
Jiang Donghua glanced at Hong Ling, saw her shaking her head slightly, and immediately understood.
"I'm afraid I won't be available for the time being. Thank you Mr. Bai for your kindness."
Bai Xiaofeng's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
No oil or salt can enter!
Just when he was about to change the topic, Hong Ling suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Bai."
Bai Xiaofeng turned around and saw the cold and charming woman looking at him with a half-smile.
"Master doesn't have time to talk to you now, because he needs to refine the elixir!"
This is an eviction order.
Bai Xiaofeng's face changed slightly, but he quickly squeezed out a smile:
"Haha, I was rude. I'll see you another time..."
"I won't send it."
Hong Ling interrupts directly.
Bai Xiaofeng's eyes twitched, and he suppressed his anger and stood up to say goodbye.
Bai Xiaofeng paused in his steps and suddenly turned around, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly raised his hand and waved, and the door slammed shut with a loud bang. Battle Spirit level Other breaths suddenly erupted, and the air in the entire room was stagnant.
"I don't have time to beat around the bush."
He stared at Jiang Donghua and spoke word by word.
"Be my guest and help me win over those brothers. I can give you all the elixirs, medicinal materials, women, and exercises, as long as I have them!"
As soon as the words fell, the room fell into dead silence.
Hong Ling squinted his eyes, and lightning loomed between his fingers.
Jiang Donghua was stunned on the spot, obviously not expecting that the other party would suddenly show his face and show off his cards.
Bai Xiaofeng Seeing their silence, he thought he was frightened by his conditions, so he softened his tone.
"You should understand what will happen to an alchemist without a backer in Black Corner Region, not to mention you carrying such a burden."
He looked at Hong Ling meaningfully.
Click!
Hong Ling The tea cup in his hand suddenly exploded, and the scalding hot tea was evaporated into mist by the lightning before it splashed.
"Who do you think is a burden?"
She stood up slowly, her clothes moving automatically without any wind.
Jiang Donghua coughed twice, with a playful smile on his face.
"Sister, step back."
Hong Ling frowned slightly, and the lightning on his fingertips slowly dissipated, but his eyes were still staring at Bai Xiaofeng coldly, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
When Bai Xiaofeng saw this, he was secretly happy, thinking that Jiang Donghua was finally impressed by his conditions, so he hurriedly came forward with a flattering smile on his face.
"Master is indeed wise! As long as you are willing to help me, Heavenly Snake Mansion's resources are at your disposal!"
Jiang Donghua pretended to ponder, tapped his fingertips on the table, and said slowly.
"Master Bai just said that as long as I have it, you can give it to me?"
"Of course! As long as the master opens his mouth, I, Bai Xiaofeng, will never refuse!"
Bai Xiaofeng patted his chest and promised, with a greedy light shining in his eyes.
Jiang Donghua smiled slightly, took out a prepared list from Storage Ring, and gently pushed it in front of Bai Xiaofeng.
"Okay, I want these."
Bai Xiaofeng looked down and the smile on his face instantly solidified.
The list is densely packed with more than a dozen rare medicinal materials, including some that you have never heard of, including Breitling Herb, and even several prescriptions for elixirs!
Any of these things can fetch sky-high prices at Black Corner Region's auction, and Jiang Donghua actually asked for so much in one go!
Bai Xiaofeng had cold sweat on his forehead, his fingers trembled slightly, and he managed to squeeze out a smile.
"Master, is your list a little too much?"
Jiang Donghua pretended to be surprised.
"What? Didn't Mr. Bai just say that as long as I have it, you can give it to me?"
Bai Xiaofeng turned pale and cursed secretly in his heart.
"This little lion is so open-minded! If you add all these things together, I'm afraid my father would be the only one to take them out!"
But he didn't dare to refuse directly. After all, Jiang Donghua was an important bargaining chip for him to compete for his position in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and forced a smile.
"Master, these things are indeed precious, but can they be reduced a little?"
Jiang Donghua sighed and took back the list pretending to be disappointed.
"It seems that Mr. Bai's sincerity is nothing more than this."
Bai Xiaofeng was anxious and said quickly.
"Master, don't get me wrong! It's just that these things are difficult to get together at the moment. Why don't you follow me to the Heavenly Snake Mansion and I will prepare it for you slowly?"
Jiang Donghua looked at him with a half-smile.
"Mr. Bai, I don't like empty promises. If I don't even have this bit of sincerity, then forget it."
Bai Xiaofeng looked uncertain, thinking in his mind.
He forced a smile.
"Master, wait a moment, I'm going to make arrangements right now!"
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry, his back looking slightly embarrassed.
After the door closed, Hong Ling snorted coldly.
"I'm afraid this guy has bad intentions."
Jiang Donghua put away his smile, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Of course he has no good intentions, but he will be back soon, and he will be sincere."
Hong Ling raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure?"
Jiang Donghua The corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"In Black Corner Region, the most indispensable thing is the one who is taken advantage of."
Bai Xiaofeng walked out of the inn with a gloomy face, thoughts swirling in his heart.
"This kid has quite an appetite!"
He gritted his teeth, but then he thought again and sneered again.
"However, since he is willing to offer a price, it means we can negotiate!"
Bai Xiaofeng touched his chin, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"Let's fill up the alchemist for now. There won't be any big problem."
He looked up at the splendid auction house in the distance, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth.
"Go to the auction first and tell the elders to take out the three Third-grade Pill Recipe."
Anyway, those pill prescriptions will just waste time in the Heavenly Snake Mansion, so why not take them out first to stabilize Jiang Donghua, and then find a way to get back the capital and profits after the matter is completed!
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaofeng felt a little more relaxed and his steps became brisk.
"I thought there was a woman next to him, a pervert who likes to play with women just like me."
He recalled Hong Ling's cold eyes and the flash of lightning on her fingertips, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. That kind of aura was definitely not that of a woman who had grown up practicing the art of charm.
I'm afraid he is still a master who has killed countless powerful enemies step by step!
"I didn't expect that what this kid wants is all serious stuff!"
Bai Xiaofeng shook his head, feeling angry and helpless.
"This is not a bad thing. No wonder I can step into Fourth-grade Alchemist at such a young age."
At least it shows that Jiang Donghua is not the kind of mediocre person who indulges in drinking and sex.
But people who are truly capable.
If such a person can be used for his own use, he will definitely become a great asset in the future!
"Huh, let me let you be proud for a while."
Bai Xiaofeng's eyes flashed coldly, he quickened his pace and walked towards the auction house.
"When this young master ascends to the position of city lord, I will slowly deal with you!"
Heavenly Snake City The entire auction house has been polished to a state of splendor, the glazed tiles glow with a luxurious luster under the setting sun, and the golden snake reliefs coiled on the vermilion pillars are lifelike and will rise into the sky at any time.
There was a scarlet carpet in front of the door, and the maids on both sides lowered their eyebrows and waited for the arrival of powerful people from all sides tomorrow.
However, Bai Xiaofeng had no intention of appreciating this luxury. He hurriedly walked around the main entrance and went straight into the side hall at the back of the auction house.
The place was heavily guarded. Several guards with strong auras had lightning-like eyes, but after seeing the person clearly, they all bowed their heads and saluted.
"Ninth Young Master."
Bai Xiaofeng nodded slightly and strode into the inner hall.
The light in the hall is dim. Behind the sandalwood table, an old man in gray robe is closing his eyes to rest. His face is thin, but the pressure faintly exuding from his body makes the air thicker, Eight-star Dou Huang!
Bai Xiaofeng felt a chill in his heart and quickly raised his hands in salute.
"Third Elder."
The old man slowly raised his eyelids, his turbid eyes swept over him, and his voice was hoarse as frost.
"Ninth Young Master, if you don't prepare for tomorrow's auction at this hour, what do you want to do when you come here?"
Bai Xiaofeng Sweat broke out on his forehead, but he quickly managed a smile.
"Third Elder, my nephew has something important to ask of me."
The old man snorted coldly and tapped his fingertips on the table.
"Say."
Bai Xiaofeng took a deep breath and lowered his voice.
"My nephew wants to buy the three Third-grade Pill Recipe at tomorrow's auction."
The old man frowned and his eyes suddenly shone.
"Oh? That's the auction item tomorrow. What are you doing with it? Use it as toilet paper?"
Bai Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and said bravely.
"My nephew has recruited a Fourth-grade Alchemist and needs these prescriptions as a sign of sincerity."
"Third Elder, give me this recipe first. This is the gold coin I can take out. As for the remaining gold coins, there is absolutely no way I will give them to the auction."
The old man was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered.
"Ninth Young Master, have you been fooled by some charlatan?"
Bai Xiaofeng's face froze and he said quickly.
"Third Elder Mingjian, that man can indeed refine Fourth-grade Pill, my nephew saw it with his own eyes!"
The old man stared at him for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and three ancient scrolls appeared out of thin air, suspended in mid-air.
"Take it."
Bai Xiaofeng was overjoyed and was about to reach out to pick it up, but heard the old man add coldly.
"However, it's okay to take it first and replenish it later, but don't be unable to get the gold coins when the time comes. Even if you quarrel with your father, Ninth Young Master you won't be able to handle it!"
Bai Xiaofeng naturally nodded, picked it up, put it in Storage Ring and ran away.
After Bai Xiaofeng's figure completely disappeared outside the door, Third Elder slowly withdrew his gaze, shook his head and sighed softly.
"Fighting over and over again, what's the point of fighting?"
His skinny fingers gently touched the lines on the desk, and a trace of exhaustion flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"In this world, strength is still respected after all."
Heavenly Snake Mansion In recent years, internal fighting has been endless, and several young masters have been fighting openly and secretly to win over alchemists and recruit powerful people, using various methods.
But in the final analysis, if you don't have enough strength, even if you take the position of city lord, how many days can you hold on to it?
"I don't know why that old guy keeps retreating into seclusion recently and doesn't care about worldly affairs?"
Third Elder murmured in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Heavenly Snake Mansion Master Bai Xiaofeng's father has been in seclusion for a long time, and almost all affairs in the mansion are handled by several elders.
But with the decentralization of power, all parties are ready to move, and several sons are fighting to the death.
"Alas~"
He sighed, closed his eyes again, and lost interest in all the disputes in the outside world.
"That's all, let them be."
"Anyway, the one who survives in the end is the winner."
Hong Yu lowered his head and hurriedly walked through the corridor, thinking only of completing the task assigned by Ninth Young Master as soon as possible.
However, the moment she turned the corner, a slender figure stood in front of her.
"Hey, isn't this the little girl next to Ninth Brother?"
Hong Yu stiffened, raised his head suddenly, and faced a pair of narrow eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Third Young Master Bai Wuchen!
"Three, Third Young Master!"
She knelt down quickly, her voice trembling.
Bai Wuchen was dressed in a plain white brocade robe and waved a folding fan in his hand. He looked as gentle as jade, but there was a cold playfulness in his eyes. He looked at Hong Yu condescendingly and suddenly chuckled.
"Strange, why didn't my dear ninth brother show off his prostitution in his palace during the day?"
Hong Yu Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he did not dare to raise his head.
Bai Wuchen squinted his eyes, suddenly reached out, grabbed her neck, and lifted her up!
"Tell me, where has he gone?"
Hong Yu had difficulty breathing, his face turned red, and he struggled to squeeze out a few words.
"Slave, I don't know..."
Bai Wuchen sneered and tightened his fingertips slightly.
"Talking?"
Hong Yu closed his eyes in pain and finally said with a trembling voice.
"Ninth Young Master is going to win over a Fourth-grade Alchemist!"
"Oh?"
Bai Wuchen's eyes flashed, and the strength in his hands relaxed slightly.
"Fourth-grade Alchemist? Interesting."
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he let go of his hand, letting Hong Yu fall to the ground, coughing violently.
Bai Wuchen adjusted his cuffs slowly and said calmly.
"Lead the way."
Hong Yu looked up in horror.
Bai Wuchen leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Otherwise, my ninth younger brother will be short of toys."
Hong Yu was shaking all over and his face was as pale as paper.
"Slave, slave, please lead the way~"
She climbed up with difficulty and staggered forward, but her heart was filled with despair.
