Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 30 Showing Goodwill
After a while, the door of the reception room opened.

The maid led two servants in, carrying three large bags and several wooden boxes, and smiled with a more sincere and enthusiastic attitude than before:

"My two lords, these are the herbs you requested. They have all been packed!"

"In addition, our boss has specifically instructed that we will cut off the difference in this transaction and you two only need to pay 20,000 gold coins!"

Hearing this, Xiao Bai's eyes seemed thoughtful.

Xiao Yan was a little curious and asked: "Why is your boss doing this?"

The maid smiled and said, "Don't think too much, the boss said that he just wanted to establish a good relationship with the two gentlemen!"

Xiao Bai did not say anything. He used his soul power to scan the medicinal materials in the big bag and the box. After confirming that the quantity and quality were okay, he waved his hand and put them into the storage ring.

He took out another 23,800 gold coins and said to the maid:
"Please tell your boss that we appreciate your kindness, but we won't accept the reward without doing anything. Just buy it at the original price!"

Then he left the Mitel Auction House with Xiao Yan.

The top floor of the Mittel Auction House is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, and is filled with an atmosphere of luxury.

Looking down from here, you can see the entire view in front of the gate of Mittel Auction House.

At this time, there were two figures standing in front of the window, a young woman and a white-haired old man, silently watching the backs of Xiao Bai and the other man as they left.

"Master Gu Ni, are you sure that they are buying the herbs for making blood clotting powder?" the young woman asked the old man next to her in a charming voice.

The woman had a pair of slightly upturned peach blossom eyes, which were filled with spring water and clear and flowing gaze. Her lips were pink and tender, and her face was more beautiful than flowers.

Her long, smooth burgundy hair was tied into a bun, making her look very capable. She was wearing a red cheongsam, which tightly outlined her mature and graceful body. Her every frown and smile was captivating.

The vigorous old man next to him turned a blind eye to this, nodded and replied: "Yes, those are indeed the three medicinal ingredients for refining the first-grade elixir blood-clotting powder!"

The woman gently waved her round fan with her bare hands, pondered for a moment, and said to the person behind her:

"Go call Xiao Shiliu, Ah Da, and Ah San up here. I have something to ask them!"

The maid behind him responded in a low voice, then went out. After a while, she came up with three people. They were the three people who had just gone to deliver medicinal herbs to Xiao Bai and the others.

"Xiao Shiliu (Ada, San) greets the boss!" The three of them bowed to the charming woman in front of the window.

"No need to be so polite, Little Sixteen. You have lived in Wutan City since you were a child. Do you know those two people just now?" The woman asked softly to the maid who had just received Xiao Bai.

"Master, Xiao Shiliu doesn't know, but A Da should know!" said the maid Xiao Shiliu.

"Oh?" The woman looked at one of the two servants.

Ada is usually in charge of delivering goods. This job requires him to travel all over Wutan City. He knows all kinds of gossip in Wutan City and is naturally well-informed.

At this moment, when Ah Da saw the charming hostess's beautiful eyes fall on him, his breathing suddenly became a little rapid and his face flushed.

From the first moment he saw this hostess, he was struck by her beauty. Her charming face and attractive body made him think of her every night and couldn't stop.

"Ada, Ada?" Seeing Ada standing there blankly without answering, Xiao Shiliu reached out and pushed him.

Ah Da suddenly woke up, and seeing that everyone was staring at him, his face turned even redder, and he stammered hurriedly, "Reply...Boss, those two people should...should be from the Xiao Xiao family!"

"The Xiao family?" The charming woman murmured as she stroked her seductive red lips. She was not moved at all by the reaction of the man in front of her. In the past few years, she had seen too many men show this kind of look to her, and she also knew the dirty thoughts in their hearts. At first, she felt very annoyed.

But later she realized that if she minded everyone, she would not be able to live her life, so now when she encounters such a situation, she just turns a blind eye.

"Do you know who they are from the Xiao family?"

"Replying to the boss, I don't know the young one, but the young man with gray hair should be called Xiao Bai!"

He only found out about this when the Xiao family members were discussing Xiao Bai in the market town a few days ago. With his gray hair and young face, he knew there was such a person in all his years living in Wutan City.

"Xiao Bai?" The charming woman seemed to be thinking about something, as if she knew the name.

When I was in the imperial capital, I heard Nalan Yanran say that the Xiao family had produced two geniuses, but also two wastes.

It seems that the other one is Nalan Yanran’s fiancé Xiao Yan.

Thinking of this, she was suddenly a little disappointed. This time she came to Wutan City, which was something she had to ask the elders of her family for help.

It is an experience, but also a gamble.

Her family was planning to marry her off to the Mu family, one of the three largest families in the empire. She did not want to accept her fate and asked the elders to send her to this small border city.

To this end, she signed a bet with the family, stipulating that within two years, she would double the profits of the Miter Auction House's Wutan City branch, and only then would the family recognize her value and not force her into marriage.

But this is easier said than done. The Wutan City branch's annual revenue and net profit is 300,000 gold coins, which is 600,000 gold coins in two years. She has to expand the profit to 1.2 million in two years.

In order to succeed this time, she had used a lot of favors to invite Gu Ni, a second-grade alchemist, to help her complete the task, but now it seems that it is still not enough.

Although this city looks prosperous on the surface, it is not rich. People coming and going are all mercenaries, and these people cannot bring any profit.

When she was in the imperial capital, she heard that there was no Alchemist Guild, not even an alchemist, and thought that bringing an alchemist with her would definitely help her complete the task.

But after coming here, I realized the situation here. There is a reason why there are no alchemists here.

Since there are no alchemists here, there is one profession that is very crowded here - doctor. The profession of doctor does not have the same harsh requirements as that of alchemists. As long as you are familiar with medicinal materials and pharmacology, almost anyone can become a doctor.

They can compile various medicinal materials into various prescriptions according to the pharmacology of the medicinal materials, or mix them into small pills, or boil them according to the prescription, and they can also achieve certain effects of first-grade or second-grade elixirs.

However, this method is not as pure as the medicinal properties of elixirs. It contains many impurities and its effect cannot catch up with elixirs. But it has an advantage that elixirs cannot match.

Cheap!

You have to know who the main consumers are in Wutan City. They are the mercenaries who go into the Warcraft Mountains. They buy things for the same reason - cheap and effective.

This has had an impact on the price of the first-grade elixir in Wutan City. It can certainly be sold, after all, the effect is there, but if it is sold at a high price, people will not buy it, resulting in an extremely low profit margin for the elixir.

Of course, she could still make money if the price was lower and she could sell in larger quantities, but she only had one alchemist, so how much could he refine even if he refined it for twelve hours a day?

So when she heard that someone had bought a large amount of first-grade medicinal materials for elixirs just now, she thought that she would meet an alchemist, so she would show her goodwill in the hope of winning him over. But now it seems that this person is not an alchemist at all!

The charming woman shook her head a little bitterly.
