Two hours after noon. Xia Yancai came out from Fangshi, Xijianan District. For the lack of gold coins to buy medicinal materials, there is still no way to solve it.
"Could it be that you want me to sell those herbs?!" Xia Yan was quite helpless.
In the misty valley of the Sin Forest and the Black Wind Mountain in Huangye Town, Xia Yan obtained several medicinal herbs. However, among them, only one special medicinal herb Buccoli can be sold at a sky-high price. Except for the sparrow flower, it is impossible for the other medicinal plants to sell for tens of thousands of gold coins, and at most, they can be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins, which will not solve the problem at all.
"However, Grandpa Shenghuang also said that the sparrow flower will be used soon. And if the special medicinal material is put up for auction, it will definitely cause a big sensation. At that time, there may be a lot of people in the entire Ziye City area. The shock." Xia Yan knew the value of special medicinal materials such as sparrow flower to alchemists.
I'm afraid that many alchemists will do whatever it takes to investigate the person behind the sparrow flower. At that time, Xia Yan will definitely be pushed to the forefront.
"No, the sparrow flower must not be put up for auction!" Xia Yan immediately denied this idea.
"Huh?!" Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "There are still four bottles of the spiritual liquid prepared last time. This spiritual liquid is of no use to me. The main purpose of the spiritual liquid is to assist practitioners to condense and gather spirits." I have refined five bottles in total, and I have successfully condensed it with only one bottle. Then the remaining four bottles can be put up for auction!"
Xia Yan's face showed joy.
"As for the price, it must not be very low, right? In order to prepare this elixir, I spent tens of thousands of gold coins to buy all the medicinal materials, and there is also pipa grass which I picked in the Misty Valley by myself. Besides, it is generally considered alchemy Even the level of a teacher can't prepare spiritual liquid, but that is the preparation method mastered by alchemists at the level of Linghuang." Xia Yan gradually became clear in his heart, if he sold the spiritual liquid, the gold coins he got should be enough to buy it The medicinal materials needed.
After thinking of a way, Xia Yan raised his spirits, started to quicken his pace, and ran towards the Xia Family Mansion.
The auction at the auction house will be held a week later. Now it is time to register the items to be auctioned as soon as possible, and then let the auction house promote them. Doing so will attract more people in need to participate in the auction.
"Master Xia Yan!" The black-clothed guard outside the door bowed and saluted.
Before Xia Yan became a candidate for the patriarch, these guards had already respected Xia Yan, but now, they respect him even more.
It's not too much to say, even if the elders of the Xi family saw Xia Yan, they couldn't put on airs now. Even if Xia Yan doesn't salute them, that's okay. Xia Yan's status is already equal to that of the elders. and. Xia Yan's strength has not lost to those elders.
"The two big brothers have worked hard!"
As usual, Xia Yan also slightly returned the salute to the guards.
Although the status of these guards is not high, they are also Xia family's children, so Xia Yan is usually very polite to them.
"Master Xia Yan, the patriarch asked you to come back and go find him!" A guard looked at Xia Yan and said.
This guard was the one who delivered Jafen's letter to the patriarch.
Xia Yan was taken aback, and said, "The patriarch called me? Well, I understand, thank you, brother guard!"
While speaking, Xia Yan's figure had already entered the courtyard.
"Brother Xia Yan..."
"Master Xia Yan..."
"Haha, Xia Yan..."
Along the way, everyone who met Xia Yan, whether they were collateral descendants, direct descendants, or servants, all greeted Xia Yan respectfully.
Of course, there were a lot of people mixed up, and some of them were superficially respectful to Xia Yan. In fact, I was a little jealous. However, they are not strong enough, so they can only keep their jealousy in their hearts and dare not show it.
After a while, Xia Yan arrived at the small courtyard where the patriarch Xia Feilong lived.
"Patriarch, are you looking for me?!" Before entering the courtyard, Xia Yan shouted loudly outside the door.
"Well, Xia Yan, you're back, come in quickly." Xia Feilong's hearty voice came from the courtyard.
"Xia Yan, where have you been?!" Xia Zixin asked after seeing Xia Yan.
Of course, it was asked in a very polite tone. She is Xia Yan's cousin, so it is natural to ask.
Xia Yan smiled and said: "I went to the Fangshi in the southern district of Xi's family and took a look at the business in the Fangshi of Xi's family. almost."
"Fangshi, Southern District?!" Xia Zixin's face changed slightly, "You are alone? Xia Yan, why didn't you bring the guards?!"
"Hehe, I'm not here to make trouble." Xia Yan shook his head, his eyes flashed, "If I bring guards, why don't I let the Xi family treat me like a big enemy? Besides, even the Xi family No matter how much people hate me, they dare not deal with me directly in the crowded market, right?!"
Xia Feilong nodded and smiled and said: "No matter what, Xia Yan, you have a special status now, so you should be careful. Last time I said that you are not allowed to leave the family for a month. Since you are already a candidate for the patriarch, you will automatically cancel this." Punishment. However, if you go out in the future, you still have to bring guards."
Xia Yan even said: "I know the patriarch!"
"En!" Xia Feilong stretched out one hand, "This letter is for you!"
As he spoke, he took out a golden letter.
Seeing the letter, Xia Yan couldn't help frowning, and asked, "This letter? For me?!"
Xia Zixin turned her eyes quickly and said, "This letter was sent by Miss Yafen from the Extreme Challenge venue. Xia Yan, you know Yafen, but we don't even know."
Hearing this, Xia Yan smiled wryly, but then returned to normal. Judging from the expressions of Xia Feilong and Xia Zixin, they didn't seem to have read the letter, and they still didn't know Lingluo's identity.
After receiving the letter, Xia Yan's thoughts turned quickly, and he pondered for a while before saying: "I am not familiar with Miss Yafen, hehe, maybe she has something to ask me, and it is not convenient to come here in person!"
"Open the letter quickly and see what it says!" Xia Zixin was very curious.
Xia Yan looked at Xia Zixin. Looking at Xia Feilong again, he had no choice but to slowly tear off the letter paper.
"Mr. Xia Yan, after reading this letter, please come to the Extreme Challenge venue at a convenient time to discuss something!"
On a piece of paper that exudes the fragrance of orchids, there is a line of beautiful small characters, with very simple content.
Frowning her eyebrows, Xia Zixin looked like this, she pouted and said, "This Yafen is here to seduce Xia Yan. Hmph, let Xia Yan go to the Extreme Challenge venue to find her! I guess, she He must have fallen in love with Xia Yan!"
Xia Feilong glared at Xia Zixin, then turned his gaze to Xia Yan and asked, "Xia Yan, why is Miss Yafen looking for you?!"
Xia Yan shook his head and said, "The letter didn't say what it was, it just asked me to go to the extreme challenge venue!"
When Xia Yan was reading the letter just now, Xia Zixin also secretly saw the content, and Xia Feilong naturally would not peek at the content on the letter paper.
"So that's the case!" Xia Feilong nodded and said with a smile, "Well, then you should take some time to take a look, Miss Yafen should have no ill intentions towards our Xia family. Hehe, Xia Yan, work hard!"
Xia Feilong patted Xia Yan on the shoulder, and said meaningfully, listening to the tone of the words, I always feel that something is not right.
Xia Yan smiled wryly, and had no choice but to look at the sky as if he didn't understand, "Thank you patriarch! It's still early, I'll go there now, maybe there is something important."
As for why Yafen sent this letter, Xia Yan really didn't know, of course he couldn't predict that someone named Xichuan wanted to challenge him! And since Yafen sent the letter, it must not be for no reason. Therefore, Xia Yan also wanted to know himself earlier.
"Well, you go! Come back early, if you go to the extreme challenge venue, you don't need to bring guards!" Xia Feilong nodded to Xia Yan.
"I'm going too!" Xia Zixin said with bright eyes.
Xia Zixin is not like this when she is in front of other people. In the eyes of the Xia family's children, Xia Zixin has always been a calm and strong woman with high talent and strong self-control. She will not easily show direct feelings for anything.
But in front of her father and Xia Yan, Xia Zixin would not hide something. That's why it showed that side. After all, Xia Zixin is only a fifteen-year-old girl who just came of age.
"Nonsense, what are you doing?!" Before Xia Yan could speak, Xia Feilong scolded.
Xia Zixin pursed her mouth aggrievedly, stood aside and stopped talking, but secretly looked at Xia Yan, hoping that Xia Yan could speak and let her go.
Of course Xia Yan can't take her there. When Lingluo's identity is exposed and the patriarch and other elders know about it, it will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles. For Xia Zixin's help-seeking eyes, Xia Yan had no choice but to pretend that he didn't see it, lowered his gaze, and dodged it.
"Patriarch, then I'll go first!" Xia Yan said to Xia Feilong.
"Well, let's go!" The patriarch laughed!
The Extreme Challenge venue is near the huge central square of the city. The magnificent and rich buildings can be clearly seen from a distance. The Extreme Challenge venue is also one of the landmark buildings in Yushui City.
Outside the gate of the Extreme Challenge venue, many people gathered here. Most of these people are bettors. Every evening is the busiest time for the Extreme Challenge venue.
When Xia Yan was going to the Extreme Challenge venue, he also carefully paid attention to whether there was anyone following him. He was really worried that Xia Zixin would follow mischievously. However, Xia Zixin did not follow him.
After putting on the mask, Xia Yan appeared outside the door of the Extreme Challenge Hall.
Some people, seeing Xia Yan, immediately recognized Xia Yan as Lingluo. This attire, this mask, are all unique signs of Lingluo.
Among the bettors at the Extreme Challenge venue, I am afraid that there are not many people who do not know Lingluo.
"Lingluo, it's Lingluo..."
Some people pointed at Xia Yan who had just appeared and shouted loudly!
"Lingluo..."
More people noticed Xia Yan and shouted loudly at the same time!
