Pill Exchange Gathering
The Pill Exchange Gathering was held on the second floor of the Thousand Medicine Pavilion. The old man turned around and led the way, while Xiao Yu and the other two followed behind him as they headed upstairs. He was also curious to see what this Pill Exchange Gathering was like!
Soon, the old man led Xiao Yu and the other two to the second floor. It wasn't as luxurious as the first floor. The slightly rustic wooden carvings exuded a sense of grandeur. There were fewer counters here than on the first floor, but it was clear that the quality was much better.
Looking around, many people were dressed in alchemist robes, and it was clear that most of them were Fourth-grade Alchemist, with a few Fifth-grade Alchemist among them, but they were very few.
The appearance of Xiao Yu and his two companions attracted the attention of many, but they quickly looked around at the three of them before turning their gaze away. The old man bowed slightly to Xiao Yu and said, "Please wait here for a moment, I will go find the manager!"
Xiao Yu nodded slightly. After the old man left, the three of them continued to stroll around. Zi Yan's eyes were dazzled by the medicinal herbs, and she looked so eager that she could hardly stop drooling.
Ya Fei found it amusing. Along the way, Ya Fei had already spent nearly three million Gold Coins. This showed that anything related to alchemists was extremely profitable. Auction houses were like this, as were pharmacies. Of course, the richest people were the alchemists themselves!
Xiao Yu looked at Zi Yan helplessly and said, "None of the herbs here are what you need. I'll get you the ones you need in a bit. Wipe your drooling and don't embarrass me!"
Zi Yan immediately perked up and asked, "Really? You're really going to change my medicinal herbs?"
Xiao Yu tapped Zi Yan on the head, but Zi Yan didn't seem to care at all, still staring intently at Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Otherwise, would I lie to you?"
Zi Yan excitedly rushed towards Xiao Yu, saying with great emotion, "Waaah, Xiao Yu, you're so wonderful!"
As the two were playfully bickering, a soft, sweet female voice came from beside them, "Sir, is it you who wants to exchange for the medicinal herbs here?" There was a strange, alluring quality to the voice.
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yu and the other two turned around and saw a woman in a red palace robe standing gracefully. The woman had a pretty face and a curvaceous figure, exuding the charm of a mature woman beneath the red palace robe.
Standing next to Xiao Yu, Ya Fei suddenly snorted coldly. An aura even more alluring than the woman wafted over, causing the woman to flinch. She looked at Ya Fei in shock, only to see Ya Fei staring at her with wide eyes. Ya Fei's natural charm was something even she herself couldn't match!
Ya Fei has cultivated the Heavenly Charm Technique, and now she can control her alluring aura at will. Normally, Ya Fei would not release her seductive aura like this, because it is extremely captivating. However, seeing other vixens displaying their charm to Xiao Yu makes Ya Fei somewhat displeased. In terms of seductive charm, ten palace women could not match Ya Fei!
The woman in the palace robe glanced at Ya Fei before looking away, the hint of teasing in her eyes disappearing. She smiled faintly and said, "Are you Miss Ya Fei of the Mittel Family?"
Ya Fei looked at the woman in the palace robe with some surprise and asked, "Do you know me?"
The woman in the palace robe nodded slightly and said, "The name of the Queen of Gold has already spread throughout the Black Corner Region. There's nothing that Miss Ya Fei can't sell, isn't there?"
Ya Fei smiled faintly and said, "I just did my job!"
The woman in the palace robe chuckled and said, "That's also due to Miss Ya Fei's abilities. I am the owner of this Thousand Medicine Pavilion. Miss Ya Fei can just call me Pavilion Master Yao. May I ask what medicinal herbs Miss Ya Fei needs this time?"
Ya Fei glanced at Xiao Yu, Pavilion Master Yao understood that Xiao Yu was the leader of the three, so she asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"
"Just Pavilion Master Yao me Xiao Shi Yi, Master Yao!" Xiao Yu said softly.
At this moment, the old man handed the blank paper that Xiao Yu had given him to Pavilion Master Yao. Pavilion Master Yao took it and glanced at it, then chuckled and said, "Mr. Xiao, we do have the Great Void Fruit and True Essence Grass at this Pill Exchange Gathering, but we'll probably need pills of at least grade six to exchange for them. So, Mr. Xiao, please be prepared!"
Xiao Yu nodded calmly and said, "Alright, since Thousand Medicine Pavilion has medicinal herbs, there's no need to worry about the pills!"
Pavilion Master Yao glanced at Xiao Yu with surprise. Seeing that Xiao Yu was so young, yet could casually conjure Sixth Grade Pills, a thought crossed her mind. She then smiled and said, "Since Mr. Xiao has said so, let's begin this Pill Exchange Gathering. I hope Mr. Xiao can obtain the medicinal herbs you desire!"
Immediately, Pavilion Master Yao said to the old man, "It's almost time. Let Elder Yan prepare to begin!"
The old man nodded slightly, then turned and walked down. Pavilion Master Yao also bowed to Xiao Yu and then walked towards a high platform in the hall.
Soon, a crisp bell rang in the hall, and a group of beautiful maids emerged from backstage, carrying silver trays filled with sealed jade boxes that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.
Xiao Yu's gaze fell on the white-haired old man standing next to Pavilion Master Yao. That should be the Thousand Medicine Pavilion's personal alchemist, Elder Yan, who is probably at the Peak Fifth-Grade Alchemist!
However, Xiao Yu only glanced at them briefly before looking away. Under the supervision of Pavilion Master Yao, the sealed medicine boxes were opened one by one. Xiao Yu immediately saw two of them. One was Great Void Fruit, which was jade white and exuded a strange fragrance. It was extremely rare and contained traces of spatial power. The other was a small golden grass. Golden pure yang power flowed on the True Essence Grass, which was quite beautiful!
As soon as the gathering began, everyone crowded around, and many alchemists eagerly searched for pills and herbs that would benefit them. Soon, alchemists began bidding. Xiao Yu looked around but did not see Qi Shan, the chief Sixth Grade Alchemist of the Black Emperor Sect mentioned in the original text, but he did not care.
Xiao Yu walked straight to the Great Void Fruit and the True Essence Grass, and asked Pavilion Master Yao, "How much are you asking for these two medicinal herbs, Pavilion Master Yao?"
Pavilion Master Yao smiled faintly and said, "One Sixth Grade Pills and one Fifth Grade Pills!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out around them. Many people felt that Pavilion Master Yao was asking for too much; it was just two medicinal herbs, and Sixth Grade Pills were not so easy to obtain.
All eyes turned to Xiao Yu Xiao Yu, wondering if he would offer that price.
Xiao Yu Xiao Yu no attention to their gazes. He casually stroked his Storage Ring, and with a flash of white light, two jade boxes appeared in his hands.
"Could this young man actually actually produce a Sixth Grade Pills and a Fifth Grade Pills?"
"Could this be the young master of some established power? I've never heard of him before!"
The people around were all talking about it, while Pavilion Master Yao nodded slightly to Elder Yan beside him. Elder Yan glanced at Xiao Yu, stepped forward and took the two jade boxes in his hands, preparing to inspect the goods himself!
