On the street, shouts and yells continued to reach the ears. On both sides of the street, shops of different sizes stood in an orderly manner. In these shops, without exception, there were people coming and going. It was even more prosperous than the imperial capital.

Xiao Yuan and the other man walked slowly on the street, their eyes constantly scanning the shops on both sides of the street. Along the way, they saw quite a few medicine shops, but these medicine shops were not large, and they thought there would not be any good treasures, so the two did not stop on the road.

After turning two streets, Xiao Yuan and the other man finally stopped in front of a huge attic pharmacy.

The name of the pharmacy is "Qianyaofang". It is extremely large. It should be the largest shop that Xiao Yuan and the others have seen since they entered the city. Moreover, this shop seems to be quite famous in Black Emperor City. Therefore, at the gate, the flow of people coming and going is almost like they are crowded together, and noisy shouting and cursing can be heard continuously.

According to Yao Lao's perception, Xiao Yan was right here.

Standing outside the Thousand Medicine Shop, Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, then took the Little Medical Fairy into the crowd. The powerful fighting spirit in his body released a clever force, and he quietly pushed away the person who blocked his way with a soft force, and walked into the Thousand Medicine Shop easily.

As soon as he entered Qianyaofang, the noisy shouting and cursing suddenly weakened a lot, and a strong medicinal aroma mixed with countless herbs hit his face. The aroma was so strong that Xiao Yuan couldn't help but relax his brows, and his face under the veil revealed an intoxicated expression.

Xiao Yuan wrinkled his nose and looked around. He saw that this spacious hall was filled with many transparent counters. Inside the counters, various medicinal materials were neatly placed. At this moment, many people were gathered in front of these counters.

The hall is divided into the medicinal materials area and the elixir area. In comparison, the elixir area undoubtedly has the largest number of people. After all, for those people in the Black Horn Region who are on the edge of a knife all day long, a elixir that can save their lives or explode in times of danger is undoubtedly much more precious than those medicinal materials that cannot be swallowed directly.

However, for alchemists like Xiao Yuan, they value medicinal materials more. After all, as long as they have the medicinal materials, the pills can be refined naturally.
Holding the little medical fairy who also had a comfortable look on her face, Xiao Yuan slowly walked towards a crystal counter and then glanced around.

"Green Mist Grass Phoenix Fire Phosphorus Fruit"

Looking at the medicinal herbs displayed on the counter, Xiao Yuan recognized them at a glance and then shook his head slightly. Although the things here were not ordinary, they were still far from the level of the medicinal herbs he needed.

"There is a reason why the Black Horn Region can attract many people from the outside world. If these medicinal herbs were placed outside, they would definitely be regarded as treasures by many medicine shops. But here, they are put on sale casually."

As a master of poison, Little Medical Immortal was naturally quite familiar with these medicinal herbs, and he sighed softly.

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, a laugh came from the side: "Two guests, what kind of herbs do you need? Our Qianyaofang is one of the most famous herbal medicine shops in Black Emperor City. I believe you should be able to buy what you need here."

Looking up, Xiao Yuan looked at the old man who appeared at the counter. Judging from his robe, he should be a member of the pharmacy. Without further ado, he took out a piece of white rice paper from his ring. On the rice paper were written the main medicinal ingredients for refining the Growing Bone and Melting Blood Pill.

The old man took the white rice paper with both hands, glanced at it casually at first, then was stunned, looked at Xiao Yuan again, his eyes flashed, and said: "Young lady, are you an alchemist?"

"What? Can't the alchemist come to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials?" Xiao Yuan said lightly.

“Haha, don’t blame me, young lady. I am also a second-rank alchemist. I just feel a little familiar with the arrangement of these medicinal herbs.” The old man said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded slightly. The properties of medicinal materials are all different, and it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish them. However, with Xiao Yuan's current level of alchemy, when he wrote these medicinal materials, he naturally put the medicinal materials with the same medicinal properties together like a conditioned reflex. He didn't expect that this old man would be so careful to discover it. It seems that although his talent is average, he has indeed put in some hard work.

"Well, your eyesight is pretty good. Do you have these herbs?"

"Haha, there are a total of eight medicinal herbs here, all of which are quite high-level medicinal herbs and are somewhat difficult to find."

The old man laughed.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan naturally understood the hidden meaning.

Hard to find, not impossible to find.

That means you have to pay more!
"Tell me, what's the price?"

Xiao Yuan said this in a rather arrogant manner.

There is a lot of wealth in Yan Luotian's storage ring, and the thing Xiao Yuan lacks the least now is money.

"Young lady, you are such a straightforward person. I will tell you straight away. If you want to get these eight herbs, you have to go to the second floor of the Thousand Pharmacy. The herbs there are much more expensive than those on the first floor. However, if you want to get the herbs there, you cannot buy them with gold coins. Instead, you must refine a pill of equal value to these herbs according to the requirements above before you can take the things away. In other words, only alchemists are qualified to enter the second floor."

The old man chuckled.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was not too surprised, but just showed an interested look.

When an item becomes precious to a certain level, gold coins can no longer be used to measure its value. At this time, you need to take out other items of equal value in order to exchange them.

And
Xiao Yuan sensed Xiao Yan's aura, but he seemed to have encountered some minor troubles.

"In that case, please lead the way."

Coming back to his senses, Xiao Yuan spoke calmly.

"Hehe, let me remind you here, young lady, the value of those medicinal materials you need is probably at least a fourth-grade or even a fifth-grade elixir to be exchanged for them. If you can't refine elixirs of this level, then..." Seeing Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement, the old man smiled even more and spoke kindly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan sighed, with some regret in his voice.

"I'm really not a fourth- or fifth-grade alchemist."

"This"

The old man's smile froze upon hearing this.

The next moment, he saw the woman in white in front of him take out an alchemist robe from her storage ring and put it on. On her towering chest was a badge issued by the Alchemist Guild. Inside the badge, the six ripples on the medicine cauldron were so dazzling.

"So you are a sixth-rank alchemist. I am sorry for your disrespect. Please follow me!"

The old man's expression changed very quickly, and a look of respect emerged on his face almost instinctively. He then bowed humbly and led the way.

"Let's go and see if there is anything we need on the second floor."

He tilted his head and gave Xiao Yixian and the other two a smug smile. After receiving a helpless roll of the eyes, Xiao Yuan took her hand and followed the old man. He was quite curious about the extremely rare medicinal materials the old man mentioned. After all, for alchemists, medicinal materials were more attractive than elixirs.

The second floor of Qianyaofang was not as luxurious as Xiao Yuan had imagined. Its slightly simple decoration gave it a sense of elegance and refinement. It showed that the owner of Qianyaofang seemed to have some taste.

At this moment, there were some crystal cabinets placed in the hall on the second floor. In the crystal cabinets, there were some jade boxes. In the jade boxes, there was a faint light flickering. At a glance, you could tell that they were not ordinary things. There were also many figures in the hall. Judging from their clothes, most of them were pharmacists. It seemed that they also wanted to exchange some rare medicinal materials on the second floor.

Although the atmosphere on the second floor seemed a little strange at the moment, Xiao Yuan and the other person still attracted a lot of attention when they went upstairs. After seeing the sixth-grade alchemist robe on Xiao Yuan, everyone immediately stood in awe.

But soon, their attention shifted to two figures at a counter somewhere.

There were two figures, one old and one young. The old man was wearing a light yellow robe and had a particularly conspicuous red face. At this moment, he had a look of arrogance as he stared at the black-robed young man in front of him.

Looking at the fair and handsome face of the black-robed young man and his longer hair, Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows.

It's been such a short time since we last met, why does it feel like my brother has become more handsome? Swallowing the strange fire actually has this effect?
However, it seems that this old man wants to snatch the medicinal materials from Xiao Yan?
Looking at the red-faced old man with his hand on the jade box containing the medicinal herbs, Xiao Yuan's eyes condensed slightly, and he immediately walked to the side of a bystander and asked:
"Excuse me, what happened?"

Hearing the pleasant voice, the man who was asked suddenly showed surprise in his eyes. This sixth-grade alchemist is actually a young girl?

"Well, sir, let me introduce you to the red-faced old man first. He has a great background. He is Qi Shan, the chief alchemist of the Black Emperor Sect. It is said that he has reached the sixth level not long ago. He can be said to be the strongest person in the alchemy skills of the Black Emperor City. Moreover, relying on the strength of the Black Emperor Sect, he is also a big man with great weight in the Black Emperor City. Ordinary people naturally dare not compete with him.

This time, he had his eyes on the elixir that the young man also wanted to exchange for, so he tried to use his power to overpower him as usual, but the young man was also a man with a bad temper and obviously didn't buy it, so the situation became a stalemate."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded, gave the man a bottle of third-grade elixir, and then pulled him towards Xiao Yan.

At this time, Xiao Yan was confronting Qi Shan. He noticed that the mysterious sixth-grade alchemist was walking towards him with his female companion. He instinctively wanted to be alert, but he inexplicably felt that the other party was one of his own and could not be alert. Moreover, this person looked too familiar.

But as far as I can remember, I don't know any sixth-rank alchemist who has such a female companion?

When Qi Shan saw Xiao Yuan coming over, he politely bowed and said with a smile, "Sir."

"I want the herbs in your hand!"

The cold voice interrupted Qi Shan's words directly at this moment, and it sounded domineering, causing Xiao Yan and Qi Shan's faces to change.

Qi Shan's expression was very ugly, but Xiao Yan's expression was very strange.

The moment the mysterious man opened his mouth, he knew his identity.

Isn’t this the third sister?
Xiao Yuan's words also made many people stunned, and then they looked at Qi Shan with some gloating. He had just opened his mouth like this, wanting to snatch the medicinal materials from the black-clothed young man, but now, in less than a moment, he was repaid with his own method by another sixth-rank alchemist. It really made people feel secretly happy.

"This"

Seeing this, Master Yao of Qianyaofang also felt embarrassed. He looked at the three people in front of him with an awkward expression, especially when he looked at Xiao Yan, the apology in his eyes almost overflowed.

"Your Excellency's actions are too unruly."

Qi Shan said with a gloomy face.

"You're an interesting old man. You are allowed to fight with others, but others are not allowed to fight with you?"

Xiao Yuan sneered.

"you!"

Qi Shan's face grew even uglier when he heard this. Ever since he was promoted to the sixth-rank alchemist, no one had dared to disrespect him like this.

"You may not know that I am the chief alchemist of the Black Emperor Sect."

Qi Shan's face changed for a moment, then he forced a smile. He wanted to have a good talk with Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to such a trash. He spoke coldly and interrupted him again.

"The Black Emperor Sect? Are they very strong? Even if you die here today, the Black Emperor Sect won't dare to say a word. Do you believe it or not?"

The moment the words fell, a powerful aura burst out from Xiao Yuan's body, directly shocking Qi Shan back dozens of steps.

"Comparing backstage with me? Are you worthy?"

There was a hint of arrogance in her cold voice, and the arrogance in her words made her sound just like the daughter of some powerful force, which made people imagine a lot.

Seeing Xiao Yuan so immersed in the role, Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan both had rather strange expressions on their faces, but Xiao Yixian had a veil covering her face, so no one noticed. As for Xiao Yan, others just thought that he had no choice but to watch the two big guys fight.

"Although these herbs are valuable, they are only worth one fifth-grade pill. This is a Douling Pill, which should be more than enough to buy these herbs."

Xiao Yuan ignored Qi Shan's changing expression and directly threw out a Douling Pill, causing an uproar among the people around him.

"This"

Although there was a glimmer of unexpected joy in Master Yao's eyes, he still turned his gaze towards Xiao Yan. After all, he was the one who wanted these herbs in the first place.

"No need to look at him, this kid won't have any objections."

Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly and nodded at Master Yao.

"Mr. Yan."

Upon seeing this, Master Yao quickly handed the pill to the white-haired old man beside him for inspection.

After a while, the white-haired old man finished the inspection and bowed respectfully to Xiao Yuan: "Your alchemy skills are probably even better than the former Medicine King Han Feng. The quality of this Douling Pill is the best I have ever seen in my life!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell into silence. (End of this chapter)
