Chapter 31 Mittel Yafi
Under the watchful eyes of several fully armed guards at the entrance, Xiao Yan walked straight in without stopping.
Upon entering the club, the intense heat felt as if it had been stripped away from my body.
The cool feeling gives one a strange sensation of being in two different worlds.
With his gaze sweeping across the magnificent and spacious hall, Xiao Yan stepped into a room.
The door to the room was marked with three large, gleaming gold characters: “Jianbaoshi” (鑒宝室).
Pushing open the door, the room was somewhat empty, with only a middle-aged man sitting somewhat bored in a chair at the table.
Hearing the door open, the middle-aged man looked up at the figure shrouded in a black robe. His brows furrowed imperceptibly, but a professional smile quickly spread across his face: "Sir, are you here to appraise the treasure?"
"Hmm," a slightly dry, aged voice drifted out from beneath the black robe; it was actually the voice of the old medicine master.
Xiao Yan took two steps forward, lightly tapped his finger on the table, and a bright blue flower appeared on the table.
The moment the flower appeared, a chill emanated from it, and the temperature in the entire room began to drop.
"This is..." The middle-aged man blinked, carefully picked up the medicinal herb, and examined it carefully before saying, "Ice Begonia."
This is an extremely precious medicinal herb. Due to its strong ice attribute, it is undoubtedly a very beneficial aid for cultivators of ice attribute battle qi.
Most importantly, the petals of this ice begonia are quite large, indicating that it is an exceptionally old plant, which is quite rare.
This Ice Begonia was one of the spoils of war from Xiao Yan's killing of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. It was the most valuable medicinal herb among them, and could fetch at least three thousand gold coins at auction.
The middle-aged man was somewhat moved. He carefully placed the ice begonia back on the table and said respectfully, "Sir, could you please wait a moment? I need to ask Master Gu Ni from our auction house to come and appraise the age of the medicinal material."
"Okay, hurry up." With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yan sat down on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
The middle-aged man nodded, then hurriedly left the room.
Sitting in a chair, Xiao Yan said, "I'm afraid a seventy-six-year-old ice begonia is not enough to buy what we need."
"I definitely can't afford that little flower," the old alchemist chuckled. "However, that doesn't mean I can't afford other things. Making money from money is one of the most powerful abilities of an alchemist."
"Is Teacher preparing to refine medicine?" Xiao Yan murmured, wondering what Yao Lao would refine at the beginning.
The old medicine master sighed, "I usually don't give this to others, but now I can only bring out some of my most treasured possessions. Take a close look at it; it will be of great benefit to your future alchemy."
Let me see... This means the grade isn't high, Xiao Yan speculated. Could it be Foundation Establishment Elixir?
A moment later, the middle-aged man returned, but this time he brought with him an elderly man in a blue robe with graying hair.
"Sir, this is Master Gu Ni from our auction house. He is a one-star Grand Dou Master and also a second-grade alchemist," the middle-aged man said respectfully.
The old man's face was radiant, and although his blue robes looked ordinary, they faintly shimmered with light, clearly indicating that they had been enhanced with some kind of magical core protection.
On his ordinary old face lay an undisguised arrogance, a quality that every alchemist possessed.
As soon as Gu Ni arrived, she subtly glanced at Xiao Yan and found that apart from his somewhat strange clothes, he was otherwise unremarkable and had nothing special about him.
The middle-aged man carefully picked up the ice begonia from the table and handed it to Gu Ni.
After taking the medicinal herbs, Gu Ni examined them carefully before saying to the middle-aged man in a deep voice, "This Ice Begonia is crystal clear, and its veins have developed special ice veins. It is at least seventy years old, and it is indeed very good."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man, having learned from his experience in appraising the Ice Begonia, smiled warmly at Xiao Yan and asked, "Sir, are you planning to auction this medicinal herb?"
"Schedule the auction for me as soon as possible."
"Hehe, that's no problem at all. Sir, please take this to Auction Room Number One. An auction is currently underway there, and your medicinal herbs will be sold shortly!" The middle-aged man smiled and handed over a black iron plaque.
"Hmm," Xiao Yan said casually, taking the iron plate without lingering. He walked out of the room under the watchful eyes of the two men.
After Xiao Yan disappeared, the middle-aged man asked in a low voice, "Master Gu Ni, I remember that there is a group of ice wolf magical beasts guarding the Ice Begonia. Moreover, the older the Ice Begonia, the more powerful the guarding ice wolf magical beasts are."
"A seventy-year-old Ice Begonia requires at least an elite mercenary squad. What kind of strength does this person possess?"
"I didn't sense any strength in him." Gu Ni frowned and shook his head in confusion. "He's probably just a representative sent by a mercenary group, an ordinary person at the Battle Qi stage."
Utan City is close to the Monster Mountain Range, so this kind of thing is nothing new to the two of them.
Led by a maid, Xiao Yan entered the ongoing auction.
Xiao Yan had been to this place many times, so it was not unfamiliar to him.
At this moment, under the lights in the center of the auction hall, Ya Fei, dressed in a red robe, was explaining the function of the items in her hands to everyone in the hall in a charming and seductive voice that made people's bones feel numb.
Amidst Ya Fei's clear, tingling voice, the price of that not-so-rare item was skyrocketing.
Ya Fei is now about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender figure, skin as white as jade, a face like a peony, bright and clear eyes that sparkle and captivate, and a small, delicate cherry-like mouth.
Her pearly white teeth were neat and even, like broken jade or pomegranates. Her breasts were high and full, with an alluring curve. Her waist was like a sash, her buttocks were high and upturned, and her legs were slender and long.
With a touch of girlish innocence amidst her allure, Ya Fei, in her early twenties, is truly a perfect mature woman, captivating hearts with every move she makes.
It's hard to imagine how alluring and beautiful she will become three years from now, catalyzed by time.
Since the aura of the young master of the Xiao family was no longer present this time, Xiao Yan sat in a relatively secluded spot.
Xiao Yan, who was sitting quietly, suddenly frowned deeply, turned his head slightly, and looked at a man hidden in the darkness not far from his seat.
At this moment, the man was gazing intently at Ya Fei on the stage, his hands gently moving as she opened and closed her rosy cherry lips, trying to comfort himself.
"Damn it!" Xiao Yan cursed under his breath, rolling his eyes. This guy was too strong!
It started three years ago, aren't they afraid of dying at the auction...?
