The Beginning of Fighting Breaks with Nalan Yanran's Retirement

Chapter 56: Taobao
Approaching the majestic mansion, Xiao Yan paused.

"Why are you afraid?"

Yao Lao teased.

"whispering sound!"

With a sneer, Xiao Yan stopped and turned to Hai Bo.

"Old Hai. This is your business, so don't worry about it, kid."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, leaving a handsome back for the other party.

At the place where several streets intersect, an extremely huge building that is surrounded by faint danxiang smoke all the year round stands on it. On the towering gate, the five ancient characters of the Alchemist Association flashing with pale silver light, let the The passers-by who had to come and go couldn't help casting their awe-inspiring gazes over.

As the headquarters of the alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire, even the emperors of the imperial family have to show some courtesy when they come here. After all, the energy that the occupants of this building can generate is enough to make everyone The whole empire was shaken, they are the most honorable occupations on the fighting spirit continent.

Outside the gate of the huge alchemist guild, alchemists who are hard to see on weekdays are all hurrying back and forth here, and the alchemist robes of different colors on the body proudly declare their aspirations. grade.Standing outside the gate, Xiao Yan looked up at the majestic Alchemist Headquarters, and couldn't help but shook his head in admiration. This kind of momentum is worthy of the leading position of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist.

Since Yun Yi had promised to attend the alchemist meeting, he would naturally do it.

"Are you so confident in me?"

From Yafei's mouth, I learned that the number of people who came to participate in the alchemist meeting this time was far more than before.

Not only did the four great empires send people here, but people from other large and small empires in the Northwest Continent also came to participate.

If it weren't for a high-ranking Douzong coming to the Heavenly Snake Mansion to help deter it, the emperor might not even know what the chaos would be like.

Even so, the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire had no choice but to use elite soldiers stationed at the foot of Yunlan Mountain to maintain order.

"Are you going to attend the pharmacist conference?"

Standing beside Xiao Yan, Hai Bodong looked up at the alchemist guild which was more crowded and lively than before, and asked with his head tilted.

After getting the medicinal materials from Nalan's family, he was obviously in a good mood.

"Yes! I promised Elder Yun Yi to participate in this conference."

Xiao Yan didn't hide anything, said.

"Then it seems that there is no suspense in this conference."

Hearing this, Hai Bodong was taken aback, he didn't expect Xiao Yan and Yun Yi to know each other.

Nodding his head, he patted Xiao Yan's shoulder immediately, and said, "Since that's the case, you can go in by yourself. I want to do something, and I'll leave the old man."

"Is it going to the Mittel family?"

Xiao Yan glanced at Hai Bodong and said with a smile.Hai Bodong smiled, did not answer directly, waved his hand at Xiao Yan, then turned around and walked slowly towards the street on the left.Looking at the old figure slowly entering the crowd, Xiao Yan murmured in a low voice: "It seems that he has a long relationship with the Mittel family..."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, and put these questions out of his mind. Whether Hai Bodong was old with the Mittel family or not, it had nothing to do with him. The plaque with a little quaint atmosphere raised its legs and squeezed in towards the Alchemist's Guild.

The current Xiao Yan was wearing a set of professional robes for a second-grade pharmacist. His ordinary appearance was extremely unobtrusive.Stepping into the alchemist's gate, a strong scent of alchemy came to the face, making people unable to help but take a light breath, and looked around in a relaxed and happy manner.

The area within the Alchemists Guild is extremely vast, roughly divided into three areas: east, west, and south. In the east hall, many square tables made of green granite are neatly built. Behind those tables, some A pharmacist in a robe, and on the table, there are many kinds of medicinal materials, as well as jade bottles, scrolls, etc. From this appearance, it seems to belong to the area for trading Taobao.

In the south hall, there are many cauldrons burning blazingly. Some pharmacists behind the cauldrons are controlling the fire with serious faces. Around them, there are low-level pharmacists, pointing at each other and whispering. Exchange alchemy experience.

Compared with the other two halls, the west hall is undoubtedly much quieter. There are even guards standing in the aisle. It seems that only certain alchemists who have reached a certain level are eligible to enter it. Some low-level alchemists occasionally Passing by there, you will cast eyes of awe and envy.

Standing at the door, Xiao Yan looked at the extremely bustling hall, and couldn't help being a little dazed. After a while, he gradually came back to his senses, smiled wryly and shook his head.Slowly stepping into the hall, Xiao Yan looked around, hesitated for a moment, then raised his feet and walked towards the area where Taobao was traded. After fighting skills, he was very interested in finding treasures in the vast waste heap.

Walking to the eastern area, Xiao Yan walked slowly among the square platforms, looking curiously at these many rare medicinal materials and other items that even he had never seen before.

Although this place is called the trading Taobao area, the sellers here did not shout loudly like the vendors in those square markets. They sat leisurely on the soft chairs one by one, and occasionally glanced at those standing on the platform. Others, if they feel that the other party may have a little background, some alchemists who sell them will stand up and talk to them, but more, they still slump in their chairs, seldom paying attention to those watching. The laid-back appearance is very unlike a merchant who sells things. Of course, they are not. What they need is not the gold coins and property that the merchants covet, but barter.

If you want to get the necessary medicinal materials or elixirs from them, then you have to come up with rare treasures that make them fancy.

Walking slowly along the way, all kinds of rare medicinal materials and elixirs, introduced by Yao Lao at random, gave Xiao Yan a lot of insight.

Walking slowly in the Taobao area, Xiao Yan looked left and right, but he still gained a lot, and the hottest spot in the Taobao area was undoubtedly a kind of pink tinder brought out by an old man with a pale complexion. , the kindling was contained in a rather large transparent jade bottle, slightly tumbling, exuding a hint of peach color.

This kind of fire is called Peach Blossom Fire, and it only lives in the body of a rather rare fifth-order wood-type monster, Kui Mu Beast. Compared with the purple fire of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, it may be of the same level, but it needs to It is much more docile, and it is easier to tame it. Of course, it is inferior to Zihuo in terms of the temperature and destructive power of the flames. Jealous, some people with a little foundation came forward to inquire one after another, but the old man seemed to ask for a high price, so no one has successfully obtained the bottle of Peach Blossom Spark.

Standing outside the crowd, Xiao Yan rubbed his chin, looked at the peach blossom fire on the stone platform, frowned and pondered for a while, but chose to give up this thing, the current flame, for those who have different fire and purple fire For Xiao Yan, it doesn't have much use anymore, so he can't afford to spend a lot of money to get it.

Contemplating like this, Xiao Yan also gave up the idea of ​​exchanging, and stood outside, just to watch the excitement.After one after another failed transactions, many people also chose to give up with self-knowledge, but they did not leave immediately. They still stood where they were, looking eagerly at the enchanting pink flame.

Seeing the funny expressions of these people, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head with a smile, and was about to turn around and leave when a silver figure suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, and quickly came to the side of the stone platform under the eyes of everyone. The beautiful eyes stared at the pink flame brightly.

"It's her?" Looking at the woman in the silver dress, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Is she also here for the Alchemist Gathering?"

The silver-robed woman who squeezed out from the crowd, the woman named Xue Mei that Xiao Yan met in Black Rock City in the original novel, was also the personal foundation of Falklan, the president of the Alchemist Branch of Black Rock City.

This woman who is usually a little bit cold seems to like that pink flame very much, holding the transparent jade bottle in her jade hand, and she can't put it down, making Xiao Yan shake his head helplessly. Doesn't that look like a show to let others open their mouths and slaughter them?Sure enough, seeing Xue Mei's appearance, the old man smiled a little, and said in a calm voice: "Miss, do you want to exchange for this peach blossom fire?"

"Well, what do you want?"

Xue Mei nodded and asked casually. "A scroll of fourth-grade elixirs with clear traces of the soul." The old man said with a smile.

"Hei..." Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shook his head, and cursed in his heart, just the fourth-grade elixir is even rarer than this Peach Blossom Fire, not to mention that he even asked for it. A prescription with clear traces of the soul, you must know that every medicinal prescription is written using the power of the soul, every time you read it, the traces of the soul in it will become blurred, and basically a volume of prescriptions, as long as it is read five times If you read more than once, it will gradually become blurred. At this time, you have to rely on your own ability to figure out some vague places, which will undoubtedly waste a lot of time and energy.

To make a prescription scroll, it must be the strength of a fourth-rank pharmacist, and the failure rate is extremely high. Therefore, the pill prescription is not something that can be recorded at will with a pen and paper as imagined. Some of them are related to The temperature of the fire, the refining concentration of the materials, the reflection of the fusion of various materials, etc., these are almost like chemical formulas, extremely complicated, listed on a piece of paper, enough to make anyone dizzy, therefore, these prescriptions, all It is written using soul power. As long as anyone gets the prescription, he only needs to use soul power to scan once, and everything needed for the prescription can be deeply imprinted in his mind, just like a brand.

Hearing the old man's request, Xue Mei's cheeks obviously changed. Obviously, the other party's request made her a little embarrassed, but she seemed not good at bargaining, and she liked the pink fire too much, so she After pondering for a while, he actually nodded under Xiao Yan's astonished gaze.
