Inside the auction house, the decoration is very gorgeous. In the center is the grand auction site held once a month. The circular auction site is all closed at this time, and it will only be opened when the auction is held.
Around the circular auction house, there are separate rooms. These rooms are used to sell some rare and precious things, such as luxurious noble clothes, rare medicinal materials, ores for making sharp weapons, and so on.
Xia Yan walked forward along the spacious aisle, and after about a cup of tea, he saw a shop with a plaque hung with medicinal materials. Before people get close, they can smell a strong smell of medicine.
In the medicine shop, there are two staff members, one is a man with a long beard who is about fifty years old, and the other is a girl who is only seventeen or eighteen years old. The girl is petite, with a delicate face, red lips like a small crescent moon, wearing a long light green dress, and is arranging the rows of medicinal herbs on the shelves, and her slender fingers are nimbly walking up and down the shelves.
Xia Yan walked into the shop, glanced at the shelves, there were not many medicinal herbs that he could recognize by name. What Xia Yan is looking for is a century-old four-eared orchid placed in an airtight transparent cabinet. When he came last time, he saw four-eared orchids in that cabinet.
"Sir, do you need something?!" Seeing someone walking in, the girl quickly stopped what she was doing, turned around, and looked at Xia Yan with a sweet smile, her eyes seemed to be able to speak.
The fifty-year-old man sitting at the counter also raised his head to look at Xia Yan. Seeing that Xia Yan was wearing a mask, his expression froze a bit, and he lowered his head and wrote something.
Xia Yan saw that the closed transparent cabinet was still there, but the century-old four-eared orchid inside had disappeared.
Xia Yan frowned, secretly anxious in his heart, pointed to the transparent cabinet, looked at the girl and asked: "I remember there was a four-eared orchid here before, has it been sold?!"
The girl's eyes changed when she heard the words. The four-eared orchid was worth more than five hundred gold coins. Although it had been placed in the shop for a long time, not many people cared about it. The pharmacists in Yushui City were rare, and most of them were ordinary people. Pharmacists, and there are even fewer people who buy these century-old four-eared orchids.
Before the girl could speak, the elder sitting on the counter had already stood up, his expressionless face was now full of smiles. Xia Yan was caught off guard by the rapid changes before and after.
"Sir, are you going to buy a century-old four-eared orchid? Hehe, I'm Mokai, I don't know, what kind of potion are you planning to refine?!"
This elder, named Mo Kai, is in charge of managing the herbal medicine shop. Although the four-eared orchid is only a primary medicinal material, and only the first-grade, second-grade and third-grade elixir can be refined, but the effect of the elixir refined from the century-old four-eared orchid can be astonishing.
Xia Yan was slightly taken aback, glanced at Mo Kai, pondered for a moment and said: "I just want to prepare a potion!"
Mo Kai was even more startled when he heard that, the hundred-year-old four-eared orchid had to be used to prepare the potion? After being shocked, I decided in my heart that this masked person was not ordinary. Someone who can afford such expensive medicinal materials must be extraordinary.
Dispensing potions does not necessarily require the qualifications of a pharmacist. Some ordinary pharmacists in the city can also dispense potions. However, Mo Kai has never seen or even heard of a person who used century-old four-eared orchids to prepare potions in the past few decades.
"Hehe, sir, don't worry! Those four-eared orchids have not been sold, but they are no longer here at this moment." Mo Kai stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Mo Lanxiu turned his eyes and said, "Then where is the four-eared orchid at the moment?!"
As long as it hasn't been sold, it's easy. Even if you spend some more gold coins, you have to hurry up and buy the four-eared orchid. To Xia Yan, gold coins are not as important as the improvement of strength. Moreover, after the strength is strong, how much money can be easily obtained!
"There is a medicine store in Xi's house in Yushui City. It rented the four-eared orchid a month ago. Sir, is it urgently needed? I can send someone to get the four-eared orchid back now." Mo Kai bowed Smile.
"Okay, how many gold coins do you need?!" Xia Yan asked.
"The hundred-year-old four-eared orchid is extremely rare, and the price is relatively expensive. If you need it, you can pay five hundred and fifty gold coins!" Mo Kai's eyes lit up, he laughed twice, and said to Xia Yan.
A year ago, the price was still 500 gold coins, but in the past year, it has increased by 50 gold coins. But now I urgently need these four-eared orchids, and spending an extra fifty gold coins is nothing.
After a little hesitation, Xia Yan said with a smile: "Then five hundred and fifty gold coins, how long will it take to get the four-eared orchid back?!"
When Xia Yan was talking to Mo Kai, the green girl on the side was listening quietly, looking at Xia Yan from time to time with a pair of smart eyes, and said at this time: "I'll go get it right away, and I'll be back in about two hours." .”
Mo Kai nodded, waved his hand to the girl and said: "Hurry up and come back!"
"yes!"
"Sir, do you need any other medicinal materials?!" After the green-clothed girl left, Mo Kai asked Xia Yan again with a smile on his face.
Xia Yan frowned slightly, secretly thinking that since Mo Kai can manage and manage the medicinal materials shop of the auction house, he probably knows a lot of medicinal materials. It is impossible for me to purchase medicinal materials to prepare medicines just this time, so I might as well talk to him first, and if I need to buy any medicinal materials in the future, I can come to him directly. This will save a lot of time and prevent others from discovering.
At the moment, Xia Yan walked around the shelves, seeming to be looking at the herbs on the shelves. These medicinal materials are simply placed on the shelves, so they are naturally not too rare.
Seeing Xia Yan observing the medicinal materials on the shelf, Mo Kai didn't bother, just bowed slightly to look at Xia Yan with a smile on his face, constantly speculating about Xia Yan's identity in his heart.
After a while, Xia Yan turned around and said: "This time, I only need a century-old four-eared orchid, but I will definitely need some medicinal materials in the future, such as fifty-year-old six-leaf fruit, purple cold grass, etc. Hehe , if I buy all these medicinal materials from you in the future, can there be fluctuations in the price?!"
Although Xia Yan doesn't care much about gold coins, but there is no guarantee that there will be any place to spend money in the future, Xia Yan thinks it is better to save a little.
Hearing this, Mo Kai's expression changed, and he quickly expressed his opinion: "If the husband comes to me to buy medicinal materials next time, how about I sell these medicinal materials to him at a 10% discount on the market price?!"
Mo Kai is extremely smart, what he said was the next time, not this time. He didn't know if Xia Yan would come next time, anyway, he wouldn't suffer a loss if he didn't come, but if he came, then it would be extremely beneficial for him to sell the medicinal materials at a 10% discount.
The medicinal materials that Xia Yan bought were all worth dozens of gold coins or hundreds of gold coins, and the profits were quite large.
Xia Yan recognized the tricks in Mo Kai's words, and didn't care, just smiled.
"I don't know how my body will change after I use so many expensive medicines. What I hope most now is to completely refine and integrate the martial arts memorized in my mind. I will be more confident if the big family is better than the test." Xia Yan's eyes became deep, thinking in his heart.
