Upon entering the city, Xiao Yan and his companion found a place to stay at random. After settling in simply, they once again walked along the streets filled with people.
The blazing sun made Xiao Yan squint, gazing at the massive city outline before him and the crowds thronging the wide streets. Xiao Yan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
In terms of scale alone, Yan City is much larger than Sulan City. Even the Ancient Wilderness City of the Southern Region cannot compare to it.
Therefore, one can imagine the sheer size of Yan City.
Of course, what this place possesses is incomparable to that of a wild and Ancient Wilderness City.
Because of that so-called auction, many powerful individuals have now gathered in Yan City. The weakest person Xiao Yan could sense here had reached the level of One-Star Half-Emperor, a stark contrast to other places.
At this moment, the most frequent news circulating among the crowd was about the auction.
Shops lined both sides of the street, with people constantly coming and going. The approaching auction brought huge profits to these shops, something rarely seen under normal circumstances.
The two walked slowly through the crowd, and only then did they truly appreciate the immense allure of the auction.
After learning more, Xiao Yan discovered that there were still three days until the auction began.
Three days have passed, and now, looking back, Xiao Yan realizes that he seems to have only three pills left.
With three Emperor Grade Pill up for grabs at an auction where even Dou Di experts would be tempted, he probably wouldn't have a real chance of acquiring the Blazing Flame Flower.
"Well..."
With a helpless, bitter smile, Xiao Yan looked up and found that he and Murong Qianqian were standing in front of a medicine shop.
Upon seeing the three large characters "Thousand Medicine Pavilion, "Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The name gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Turning his head, he exchanged a glance with the girl who had taken off her cloak. The girl smiled gently, while Xiao Yan frowned slightly. After a moment's thought, he decided to give it a try and slowly stepped into the Thousand Medicine Pavilion in front of him.
Xiao Yan's purpose in making this trip, besides gathering information about the auction, was also to find some medicinal herbs he needed.
Besides the Blazing Flame Flower, the Ice Spirit Pill also requires many other medicinal herbs. Although Xiao Yan Xiao Yan already collected quite a few, he is still missing a few. If he can find them all here, he will save himself the trouble of searching everywhere.
Along the way, Xiao Yan had only seen some small and medium-sized shops. Xiao Yan knew that there was no way that the medicinal herbs he needed could be found in those shops. But the Thousand Medicine Pavilion in front of him made Xiao Yan feel a sense of surprise.
The Thousand Medicine Pavilion before him was the largest medicine shop Xiao Yan had seen on his journey. At the same time, Xiao Yan could clearly sense an extremely terrifying pressure around the shop. Needless to say, it was a barrier personally set up by a Dou Di expert.
The fact that Dou Di- level expert could personally intervene speaks volumes about the strength and resources of the Thousand Medicine Pavilion.
If Xiao Yan Xiao Yan can find what he needs here, then this trip can be considered worthwhile.
The moment the two stepped into the medicine shop, a rich aroma of herbs wafted towards Xiao Yan and his companion. Xiao Yan, naturally accustomed to this, frowned slightly, sniffed, and ignored it.
Looking at Murong Qianqian beside her, for someone who was visiting such a place with a strong medicinal fragrance for the first time, the fragrance caused the girl's face to turn red quickly, and then she couldn't help but sneeze hard.
It took the girl quite a while to get used to the rich aroma of herbs in the pharmacy. Xiao Yan smiled and led Murong Qianqian into the pharmacy.
Inside the pharmacy, a considerable number of people had already gathered. Behind each crystal counter, exquisite jade boxes were neatly arranged, and the medicinal fragrance permeating the air emanated from those jade boxes.
The counter inside the pharmacy was divided into three areas: one for pills, one for medicinal herbs, and the other for Formation Plate.
Of the three regions, the pill region undoubtedly has the largest population. After all, for these people, even as Half-Emperor, pills are still an essential item for their travels.
In the Western Region, where Half-Emperor abound, even a powerful Half-Emperor cannot guarantee their own safety. Compared to those wildly potent medicinal herbs, a single pill can be a lifesaver in critical moments. Therefore, most people are willing to buy pills, and as for those medicinal herbs, apart from alchemists, no one else will come into contact with them.
As for the Formation Plate area, there were more than a dozen people there considering making a purchase, but in contrast, the medicinal herb area was deserted except for a few alchemists.
Faced with this phenomenon, Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do. Pills could be taken to heal injuries and save lives, and Formation Plate could be used to set up profound arrays, which were both offensive and defensive. However, apart from alchemists, almost no one was willing to touch medicinal herbs.
The appearance of Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially when they focused their gaze on Murong Qianqian next to Xiao Yan, their eyes gleaming.
The men's gazes spoke volumes, but the women frowned, a hint of jealousy flashing across their faces. Some even pinched the men beside them hard without hesitation, then turned and left with cries of pain.
The two walked slowly forward, but instead of looking at the medicinal herbs and pills first, they went directly to the counter where the Formation Plate were displayed.
Although Xiao Yan had seen Formation Plate before, he had only ever glanced at them casually. This was the first time he had ever been able to observe them so closely, just across the counter.
Moreover, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan had always been curious about the so-called array masters. He really wanted to see for himself the terrifying existence that could be compared to alchemists.
As he approached, a series of disc-shaped metal Formation Plate came into Xiao Yan's view.
The Formation Plate here are different from those for medicinal herbs and pills; they don't need to be protected in jade boxes, but are neatly arranged in the counter.
Each Formation Plate is engraved with an extremely profound array symbol.
The array symbols appeared crooked and irregular, yet they subtly released an indescribable aura, further highlighting the profound mystery of the Formation Plate.
Just as Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian were curiously observing the Formation Plate inside the crystal display case, a gorgeously dressed, graceful noblewoman walked in from behind them.
"Hehe... Sir, are you looking to purchase Formation Plate?"
