Chapter 40: Meeting Ya Fei!!
After waiting for a moment, Xiao Cang heard hurried footsteps from upstairs.
Soon, a voluptuous figure in red and an old figure in green appeared.
"Mr. Xiao Cang, it's been many years. You've grown from the little prodigy of the Xiao family to someone people look up to now."
Gu Ni approached with a smile on his aged face. He greeted Xiao Cang and his gaze fell on the five stars at Xiao Cang's collar.
Upon seeing the five stars, Gu Ni's eyes flickered with complex emotions, filled with envy and astonishment.
A fifth-grade pharmacist!
He had been immersed in the world of pharmacists for decades, but he was only a second-grade pharmacist.
Compared to the eighteen-year-old Xiao Cang, the gap was too big.
"Seven years have passed, and Master Gu Ni is still full of vitality and radiance," Xiao Cang said with a warm smile.
At this moment, a charming giggle sounded from the side.
It turned out to be Ya Fei, who was covering her mouth and laughing softly. Her enchanting eyes lingered on Xiao Cang as she teased, "Little brother Xiao Cang, do you still remember me after all these years?"
"Where is sister Ya Fei getting at? I may forget others, but I dare not forget sister Ya Fei."
Xiao Cang's gaze swept over Ya Fei's proud figure with a hint of aggression.
After seven years, his gaze was still as domineering as before… Ya Fei was amazed. She had seen many people, but Xiao Cang's sharp and domineering gaze was very rare.
Fortunately, Ya Fei was very smooth in dealing with people and didn't feel uncomfortable because of Xiao Cang's aggressive gaze. Instead, she intentionally or unintentionally straightened her chest, allowing Xiao Cang to get a clearer view of her mesmerizing cleavage.
This little demon…
After seven years, Ya Fei had become more tender and charming.
Xiao Cang was amazed and then withdrew his gaze.
"Little brother Xiao Cang, please move to the VIP room. We can talk about anything there," Ya Fei said with a charming smile.
"Alright."
Xiao Cang nodded and went upstairs with Ya Fei.
As the three of them moved, Ya Fei chatted with Xiao Cang with a smile.
"Little brother Xiao Cang, you haven't been back for seven years. Our auction house has also undergone some changes. Later, sister will take you around for a tour."
As Ya Fei spoke, she flirtatiously tucked her hair behind her ear, revealing her charming and fair side face. As she moved her long jade legs, the slit of her brocade robe would unintentionally reveal a large expanse of whiteness.
As they ascended the stairs, the fruit hanging on the thin branches jiggled, even Xiao Cang couldn't help but sneak a few glances.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the VIP room.
Xiao Cang sat in a chair, while Gu Ni and Ya Fei sat across from him.
Ya Fei sat with her long legs together, almost no gap between her jade legs, and her fair skin was like beautiful jade.
"Mr. Xiao Cang, have some tea."
Master Gu Ni personally poured tea for Xiao Cang, and a fragrant tea aroma wafted out.
However, this tea aroma was undoubtedly bland for Xiao Cang. After all, compared to the tea pills he refined, even the best tea leaves were nothing more than ordinary.
But after taking a sip, Xiao Cang still politely said, "Good tea, good tea."
Ya Fei quietly observed Xiao Cang. After many years, Xiao Cang had become more and more heroic.
Even without the order of the family, she would be moved by such an excellent prodigy. However… the difficulty of marrying Xiao Cang was definitely high.
"I wonder what brings little brother Xiao Cang here?" Ya Fei asked with a smile as charming as a ripe and attractive flower.
"What, can't I come to see sister Ya Fei if I have nothing to do? It's been seven years since we last met, and I've been missing sister Ya Fei a lot," Xiao Cang teased.
"Of course, you can. But little brother Xiao Cang, since you miss me, why did you only come today? Sister has been missing you too," Ya Fei rolled her charming eyes, her tone mixed with a bit of blame.
Xiao Cang felt a tingling sensation in his heart and couldn't help but click his tongue.
Could it be that Ya Fei had practiced some charm technique? She really was a demon!
At this moment, Gu Ni on the side spoke up, "Mr. Xiao Cang, if you have anything to say, just speak up. Our Miter Auction House will definitely cooperate with your needs."
"Actually, it's nothing big. I just have some things that I want sister Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni to help auction off," Xiao Cang said with a warm smile.
"What kind of things?" Gu Ni asked.
"A fifth-grade elixir."
Xiao Cang smiled and took out a brocade box from his storage ring.
"Click!"
The brocade box opened, and a round, grass-green pill lay quietly inside. A fragrance containing Dou Qi instantly filled the air.
"A… a fifth-grade elixir?!"
Gu Ni's aged face was full of shock as he stared at the pill.
As a pharmacist, being able to witness a high-grade elixir with his own eyes was an extremely fortunate thing.
Especially witnessing a fifth-grade elixir!
That was a high-grade elixir that he might not have a chance to see in his lifetime!
"This… this is…"
Ya Fei breathed heavily, her eyes burning, and her charming face was moved at this moment.
Having practiced in Wu Tan City for many years, she had auctioned off countless treasures, such as elixirs, martial arts, and Dou Techniques.
But like a fifth-grade elixir, she had never seen such a treasure, let alone auctioned it off!
"A fifth-grade high-grade elixir, Dou Wang Dan. After taking it, it can temporarily elevate the Dou Qi in the user's body to the Dou Wang level, possessing the strength of a one-star Dou Wang. Of course, there are also some side effects. After taking it, it will damage the user's meridians. If not handled properly, it may even cause the original cultivation base to fall and leave a lifelong stubborn illness," Xiao Cang slowly explained.
"Hiss…"
Ya Fei and Gu Ni suddenly gasped.
They selectively ignored what Xiao Cang said later and only remembered the first half.
It can temporarily give someone the strength of a Dou Wang!!!
What kind of concept is that?
Looking at the entire Gamma Empire, even in the imperial capital, Dou Wang is an absolute high-end combat power.
This pill can temporarily give someone the strength of a Dou Wang, which is a heavy treasure for any family.
You know, ever since the strongest person in the Miter family, Hai Bo Dong, disappeared, only the family head, Miter Teng Shan, has the cultivation base of Dou Wang in the Miter family.
If the Miter family could get this pill, it means that if the Miter family encounters a crisis, they can temporarily double the top combat power of the family!
Such a pill, if the news is released, I'm afraid the big families in the imperial capital would be willing to travel thousands of miles to Wu Tan City to participate in the auction!
Thinking of this, Ya Fei couldn't help but feel more eager.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in her heart, and tried to show a calm smile.
"Little brother Xiao Cang, this pill is too valuable. If it is auctioned off, I'm afraid no one in Wu Tan City can afford the price."
"How about this, you name a price you want. Our Miter Auction House is willing to increase the price you offer by 50% and buy this pill internally. What do you think?"
After Ya Fei finished speaking, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but stare at Xiao Cang eagerly, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from Xiao Cang.
Xiao Cang looked at Ya Fei's eager look, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Ya Fei was just short of engraving the words 'I want this pill' on her face.
Sure enough, using a fifth-grade elixir as bait, he easily hooked this fat and tender fish, Ya Fei.
