"The herbs you need are too rare, especially some of them that can restore soul power. We don't have such items in our inventory."

Xiao Yan frowned under the black robe and said calmly:

"How much can we collect?"

The old man twirled his beard and said:

"half!"

Nodding, Xiao Yan crossed his legs, made an extremely exaggerated gesture, and said:

"Half is half, I want it now."

"Sincerely, a total of 1.2 million gold coins."

Before the old man could finish his words, a sack filled with gold coins appeared in Xiao Yan's hand, which he casually threw on the ground.

"Is it enough?"

The old man was a little surprised. Generally, people with such wealth would have a card to record their wealth, but Xiao Yan directly threw out a sack of gold coins, which surprised him instead.

In fact, Xiao Yan did not use the card in order to conceal his identity. After all, who knows if he can infer anything from the remaining fighting spirit on the card.

Since leaving Wutan City, he has basically settled all transactions in cash.

After the old man confirmed that the sack was full of gold coins, he lifted it up, estimated its weight, and handed it to the guard next to him, then instructed:

"Go, pack one portion of each of these five herbs and send them over."

The guards went out in response, and at this moment, only the old man, Xiao Yan, and Qing Lin were left in the room.

The old man chuckled and said:

"It seems that you are in need of medicinal herbs and treasures that can restore your soul power. I have some news here that I'm sure you will be interested in."

"Your Excellency may wish to tell me about it."

Xiao Yan replied calmly.

"We at Miter Auction House do not have any rare items that can restore soul power. However, as far as I know, a family in the Jiama Empire owns a rare plant called Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva."

When Xiao Yan heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The rhizome of the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva can be used to refine a mysterious liquid using alchemy techniques, and this liquid is of great help in the recovery of the soul.

Although he was extremely anxious, Xiao Yan did not show it, but said:

"So this is it. I wonder which family owns this magical object?"

The old man smiled and said:

"It is the Nalan family, one of the three major families in the Jia Ma Empire. The Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva has been hidden in their family for a long time."

Before the old man could finish his words, a cold light flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes under his black robe.

The Nalan family is the family that Nalan Yanran came from.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and did not attack immediately. Instead, he spoke calmly:

"I'm sure the Nalan family won't sell such precious medicinal materials easily. Is there any hidden reason behind this?"

The old man nodded:

"Your Excellency is right. A few years ago, the old man of the Nalan family once fought against an extremely poisonous fifth-level magical beast, the Iron Poison Seal Python. Although he killed it in the end, he was unfortunately injected with the poison by the latter."

"Although relying on his tyrannical fighting spirit, Grandpa Nalan has been suppressing the poison of the branding poison, but as he gets older, the toxicity becomes stronger and stronger. Just half a month ago, the poison completely erupted, and Grandpa Nalan collapsed and has been in a coma ever since. The Nalan family is also in chaos, looking for a savior everywhere."

At this point, Xiao Yan already understood the course of events, but he still had a question:

"With the power of the Nalan family, couldn't they invite Dan King Gu He?"

Hearing this, the old man's hand trembled as he was touching his beard. He looked around and then said softly:

"According to rumors, Senior Furukawa is in seclusion and has not come out of the mountains for half a year."

"That Nalan Yanran went to Danfeng several times, but hit a wall every time."

Chapter 116: Removing the poison!

"As for the reasons behind this, many people are secretly guessing."

The old man put on a mysterious gesture and spoke slowly.

"I see."

Under the black robe, Xiao Yan suddenly realized. He naturally knew what was going on with Gu He's retreat, and this matter was even related to him.

On that day in the snake tribe, Gu He and his group went to great lengths to obtain the strange fire from Queen Medusa, and they even resorted to fighting.

But in the end, the peach was indeed picked by Xiao Yan. Gu He must have suffered a great blow and has been in seclusion until now.

"Your Excellency may want to try going to the Nalan family. You may get something."

As the old man finished speaking, a waiter walked out of the secret door, dragging a silver round plate in his hand. On the plate were five restricted white jade boxes of different sizes, each of which had a fighting spirit restriction on it.

At the old man's signal, the waiter placed the jade boxes in front of Xiao Yan. He then made a gesture of invitation and said to Xiao Yan with a smile:

"Your Excellency may wish to check it out and see if you are satisfied."

Xiao Yan picked up the jade boxes one by one without hesitation, and then opened them. After confirming that they were correct, he put them away with satisfaction.

“The medicinal materials are well preserved and the age is quite sufficient.”

Immediately, Xiao Yan stood up and said:

"The transaction is completed, and I will leave now."

Then he pulled Qinglin and left the room under the old man's gaze.

Taking Qinglin with me, I randomly found a hotel that looked nice and stayed there.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Yan closed his eyes tightly, struggling fiercely in his heart.

To be fair, because of Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan had no good feelings towards the Nalan family. If he was asked to help them, Xiao Yan would naturally be quite unhappy.

But the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva was in the other party's hands. It was a rare medicinal herb that could restore soul power. Even though it was not of great use to Han Li now, it was better to have it than nothing.

Even if he could recover a little bit, it would be worth it for Xiao Yan.

As for robbing, Xiao Yan had considered this plan. Although it was easy to do, it would inevitably attract a lot of attention.

Especially at this critical juncture of the Alchemist Competition, talented alchemists from the Gama Empire and surrounding countries are bound to participate. They may have tokens from powerful family members, or they may be followed by powerful people.

The influence of the Nalan family is incomparable to that of the Mohist family. Once the matter is made a big deal, unexpected accidents may occur when they go to the Yunlan Sect later.

After some careful consideration, Xiao Yan gave up the idea of ​​taking it by force for the sake of caution.

He exhaled slowly, opened his eyes, and an indescribable light flashed in his eyes.

"Well, I will try to cure the poison of the old man from the Nalan family. However, you, the Nalan family, must be prepared for my huge demands!"

The next day, after making arrangements for Qing Lin, Xiao Yan left the hotel.

He stood at the fork in the street, looking at the people coming and going, exhaled slowly, and looked up at the center of the city. There was the Nalan family, one of the three major families in the Gama Empire.

"Let's go."

Xiao Yan put his hands into his sleeves and spoke softly, then walked towards the huge family residence step by step. Under the black robe, his face and aura quietly changed under the effect of the martial arts, and soon he completely turned into another person.

Just before arriving at the Nalan Family, a familiar aura suddenly appeared within Xiao Yan's perception range. He turned his head and saw a familiar figure quietly walking into the Mitel Auction House among the crowd.

The figure was hunched over and wore a cheap straw hat.

That person was Hai Bodong.

"Ebi is here too."

Although slightly surprised, Xiao Yan did not call out to the other party. After all, there was no need to let him know what he was going to do.

Approaching the majestic mansion, Xiao Yan was surprised to see that there were quite a few people gathered at the door. All of them were wearing alchemist robes, and the bright silver ripples on their chests proudly displayed their identities and ranks.

On the busy streets, all passers-by who passed by here would look at the group of alchemists whispering to each other with envy and awe. In their hearts, alchemist was a profession as noble as that of aristocrats.

As for these powerful alchemists, the Nalan family obviously did not dare to neglect them easily. Some servants were telling something respectfully to the alchemists waiting outside, and only let them go after they found that they did have enough strength to enter.

The incompetent alchemists were politely rejected by them. Although this move made the alchemists who were stopped somewhat dissatisfied, when they thought of the power of the Nalan family, they had to suppress their unpleasant emotions and leave in anger.

After staring at the door quietly for a while, Xiao Yan discovered that most of the alchemists who were allowed to pass were around the third rank, while most of those who were rejected were second and first rank.

Xiao Yan raised the corner of his mouth, raised his foot, and strode towards the heavily guarded gate of the Nalan Family.

Although he had never evaluated the level of the alchemist, he had another plan.

Xiao Yan pushed through the crowd and took a step forward. An old man who looked like a housekeeper came forward to greet him. However, when he looked at Xiao Yan's black robe which did not reveal his identity, some imperceptible disappointment flashed in his old eyes.

However, the old man who had been a servant of the Nalan family for decades would not show his emotions on his face. He smiled gently and said:

"Brother, I am the steward of the Nalan family. I guess you are here to try to see if you can heal the old man of our family, right?"

Xiao Yan raised his head without leaving any trace, revealing his bearded face in the dark. He put on an impeccable smile, and a rough voice came out from his cracked mouth:

"Hey, that's natural."

Xiao Yan's familiar attitude made the old man stunned for a moment. This was different from other alchemists.

Those alchemists were all decked out in jewels and their noses were sticking up to the sky. The old man got a lot of cold stares today.

He said helplessly:

"Sorry, brother, this time we need a third-grade or higher alchemist."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yan stretch out a finger, and then a faint purple flame rose from his fingertips.

"Level is not everything."

Xiao Yan said lightly.

Upon seeing this, the old man's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, his face filled with horror. Real fire was a skill that only a fourth-grade alchemist could perform, and the person in front of him could use it so easily, so his grade must be very high.

"Well, am I qualified?"

Xiao Yan's voice floated in the old man's ears. He nodded hurriedly and said quickly:

"Enough, enough!"

"Brother, please come in and talk."
