Chapter 9 On the use of Juqi Powder
A few days later.
Xiao Yan came to Xiao Xue to borrow money.
In the past three years of his downfall, apart from his father, only his sister had a better relationship with him, and he couldn't explain to his father why he suddenly wanted a large sum of money.
Therefore, he could only come to Xiao Xue.
"Why, does my brother need money very much?" Xiao Xue asked, tilting her head.
"Well, I need to buy something, but I still need a little..." Xiao Yan scratched his head in embarrassment.
Xiao Xue also understood at the moment that Yao Lao seemed to have woken up, and her cheap brother was also on the line with Yao Lao.
So now, her cheap brother is naturally raising money to buy medicinal materials and asking Yao Lao to refine the "Foundation Building Spirit Liquid" for him.
Alchemist is naturally a respected profession, even the lowest level Qi Gathering Powder is worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
However, refining medicine requires money.
Naturally, medicinal materials are not free, especially the "Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid" that Yao Lao is going to prepare. The materials required are all valuable.
Xiao Yan was "desperate" and came to Xiao Xue to borrow money.
"Brother, are you stupid?" Xiao Xue held her forehead, "Nalan Yanran, didn't I leave a Qi Gathering Powder for you?"
"You auctioned that thing, are you still short of money?"
The value of one Qi-Ju Powder is definitely enough for Xiao Yan to buy all the medicinal materials used within a year, as well as the raw materials for the Qi-Ju Powder.
Compared with the one refined by Furukawa, the Qi Gathering Powder refined by Yaolao's hands will only be more effective.
Under Xiao Yan's explanation, Xiao Xue also understood that the Qi Gathering Powder was not in Xiao Yan's hands now.
After Nalan Yanran and others left, senior members of the Xiao family gathered in the meeting hall again to discuss family affairs.
After Xiao Zhan communicated with the three elders, the resources in the family were tilted towards Xiao Yan again.
However, the Qi Gathering Powder was confiscated and used to leave to the next generation of the family to reach the next level.
"Wait!" After understanding the situation, Xiao Xuesu waved her hand and turned around and walked out.
After Xiao Xue went out, an old voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Yan's mind, "A fourteen-year-old five-star fighter with soul power in the middle stage of the mortal realm."
"You are not a simple sister."
"If it weren't for the fact that Dou Qi has a water attribute and cannot become an alchemist, her upper limit will only be higher."
Facing a piece of rough jade like Xiao Xue, even the well-informed Yao Lao couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Mid-Mortal Realm? Is it very strong?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
"Well, now that we've talked about it, let me tell you about the division of soul realms." Yao Lao said.
"The middle stage of the mortal realm doesn't sound like much, but for a fighter, it's a bit too strong."
"The realm of the soul is divided into four levels: mortal realm, spiritual realm, heavenly realm, and imperial realm. Each realm is divided into low, medium, high, and great perfection."
"Take the alchemist who specializes in soul power as an example. For the alchemist, from the first-level alchemist to the seventh-level alchemist, they are all mortal souls."
"As for the eighth-grade elixir, the alchemist needs to use his own soul power to imbue it with spirit."
"In other words, if the soul realm has not broken through to the spiritual realm, no matter how superb your medicine refining skills are, you will never be able to refine an eighth-grade elixir."
"As for the ninth-grade elixir, the spiritual intelligence is no different from that of ordinary humans. This is almost equivalent to creating a new creature. It requires the power of a heavenly soul to do it."
"As for the Emperor Realm Soul, it has been a legend for many years. Even I have never heard of anyone breaking through to this level."
"Perhaps some old monsters from ancient races can reach this level."
Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan's pupils shrank suddenly.
In other words, the so-called Alchemy King Gu He is just a mortal soul!
In the middle stage of the mortal realm, what level is it? Fighting master? Great fighting master?
A certain medicine once again felt the differences in the world.
Yao Laozai regretted that Xiao Xue could not become an alchemist, and Xiao Yan fell into isolation. For a while, both of them fell silent.
Not long after, Xiao Xue took the rich woman Xiao Xun'er and Juqi away and returned.
Xiao Yan:0-o?
Xiao Xun'er is currently the only one in the Xiao family who has ninth-level Dou Qi. Coupled with her status, it's not easy to get a Qi Gathering Powder.
"Let's go, first go to the auction house to say hello, and then go to the market." Xiao Xue said.
Naturally, the auction of Juqi San cannot be completed on the same day. Only by allowing the auction house to prepare and publicize for a period of time can the auction achieve a high price.
Therefore, Xiao Xue also brought Xiao Xun'er, a young rich woman, and planned to visit Fangshi.
"Let's go, sister Xue'er, cousin Xiao Yan." Xiao Xun'er said, holding Xiao Xue's arm, and walked out first.
There is only one word difference between "Cousin Xiao Yan" and "Brother Xiao Yan" in the original work, and the difference between them can be said to be worlds apart.
However, Xiao Xue subconsciously ignored it, and Xiao Yan, who had always been called "cousin", naturally did not react.
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xun'er, who was very close to his sister but a little alienated from him, and shook his head helplessly, then raised his feet and followed the two of them.
———
Mittel Auction House, the largest auction house in Wutan City, is also affiliated with the richest family in the Gama Empire: the Mittel family.
In the Jia Ma Empire, in terms of wealth, the Miter family is probably second to none.
The Miter family has a long history and has been developing in the Gama Empire for hundreds of years. Their relationship can be described as complicated.
According to some gossip, this extremely wealthy family seems to have a close relationship with the royal family of the Gama Empire.
In the empire, the Miter family, the Nalan family, and the Intel family are known as the three giants of Gama.
The three major families are all involved in the empire's business world, military circles, etc., and their influence is not insignificant.
Therefore, with the powerful background of the Mittel family as the backend, no matter how eye-watering the profits from the auction house are, no one dares to take their chances.
Xiao Yan was wearing a black robe, and Xiao Xue and Xiao Xun'er were wearing white robes. Under the vigilant eyes of several armed guards at the door, they walked straight into the auction house without stopping.
As soon as you enter the auction house, the hot feeling is as if it has been stripped away from your body. The cool feeling gives people a strange feeling of two worlds inside and outside.
Their eyes swept across the splendid and spacious hall, and the three of them walked towards the room on the side. On the door of the room, there were three gleaming golden characters "Treasure Appraisal Room" printed on it.
Xiao Xue and others pushed open the door and entered. The room was a little empty, with only a middle-aged man sitting on a chair by the table, bored.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the three figures wrapped in robes, frowning without a trace.
Immediately, a professional smile appeared on his face: "Are the three distinguished guests planning to appraise treasures?"
"Well, let's auction something." Under the white robe, a royal sister's voice came out softly, and it turned out to be Xiao Xue's voice.
Hearing Xiao Xue's voice, Xiao Xun'er's heart felt as if it had been scratched by a kitten, and it felt inexplicably itchy.
She suddenly wanted to hear what kind of sound it would sound like when this voice begged for mercy?
The next moment, she was awakened by her own thoughts again, and hurriedly shook her head to shake certain thoughts out of her mind.
How could it be? How could she have such a ridiculous idea?
Xiao Xun'er was having a battle between heaven and man in his mind, Xiao Yan remained silent on the side, and Xiao Xue took two steps forward, took out the jade box from her arms, and placed it gently on the table.
