In the extreme south, Wuwang City, the Hundred Herb Pavilion.
Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with passion as he stared at the medicinal herb that was currently placed on the counter. He was pleasantly surprised.
With the Broken Mirror Flower, he would be able to use it to refine the Broken Mirror Pill. Once Luo Jin and the others consumed it, the strength of his group would once again skyrocket!
However, with just this Broken Mirror Flower, the number of Broken Mirror Pills that could be refined was extremely limited. With Xiao Yan's current alchemist skills, the chances of him successfully refining the Broken Mirror Pill was not very high. If he succeeded, it was likely that he would at the very most be able to refine one pill.
"Haha, little brother, you seem to be extremely interested in this Broken Mirror Flower?"
A middle-aged man with a head full of grey hair spotted Xiao Yan in the bustling hall with a single glance. That kind of urgent gaze was exactly what their store needed.
The more people needed something, the more profit they could bring to their store.
Only when he heard the voice did Xiao Yan turn his head in doubt. He saw the middle-aged man walking over with a smile.
His moustache, narrow triangular eyes, and harsh lips caused people to feel that this fellow did not appear to be a good person at first glance. This was especially so for this wretched smile that matched his appearance. It caused people to shudder even though it was not cold. If this fellow had not mentioned the matter of the 'Broken Mirror Flower' the moment he opened his mouth, it was likely that he had come for Xiao Yan.
"Mid Origin Transformation realm."
Xiao Yan gently raised his eyes. His gaze swept up and down the middle aged man's body as he quietly said in his heart. Following which, he opened his mouth and inquired.
"Sir, you are?"
"Oh, I am Hu Yanzao, the manager of the Hundred Herb Pavilion. If you have any needs or questions, please feel free to ask me."
Hu Yanzao grinned, revealing a row of yellowish-brown teeth. He clasped his fist at Xiao Yan.
"Manager Hu, do you still have any stock of this Broken Mirror Flower?"
Xiao Yan immediately nodded gently when he heard these words. Although the appearance of the person in front of him was not likable, he was at the very least a manager. This' Broken Mirror Flower 'was something that belonged to his family. Naturally, he had to be a little more courteous when speaking.
"What a coincidence. A few days ago, a few Broken Mirror Flowers just entered my Hundred Herb Pavilion. If Little Brother needs them, I'll ask someone to get them for you."
The expression in Hu Yanzao's eyes immediately brightened when he heard Xiao Yan's words. His face was filled with smiles as he replied. He turned around and was about to call someone to retrieve it when he was hurriedly stopped by Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan had traveled around the continent for many years, so he had some understanding of how these fellows did business. Once he took out the Broken Mirror Flower, this fellow would definitely not rest until he sold a few of them. Moreover, the price he would sell them for was definitely not a small sum.
In order to sell medicinal herbs, these fellows would do anything. Although this middle-aged man's cultivation was not as high as Xiao Yan's, since he was only a steward, it already showed that there was a stronger force behind the Hundred Herb Pavilion. If there was no need, it was best not to cause any conflict with them.
"Manager Hu, don't worry. I just asked casually. I just want to know how much this Broken Mirror Flower is worth."
With a smile, Xiao Yan stared at Hu Yanzao in front of him and said casually. Only then did he ask about the value of the Broken Mirror Flower.
Seeing Xiao Yan's calm appearance, Hu Yanzao's expression was slightly startled. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to see how Xiao Yan felt about the Broken Mirror Flower. He did not expect that Xiao Yan would be so calm. Although there was a possibility that there was no lack of decoration, at least he could not see it.
"Oh, it's like this. My Hundred Herb Pavilion has a rule. All medicinal herbs sold must be exchanged with medicinal herbs of equal value or higher value. Of course, if the quality is not good enough, quantity can be used to make up for it. In this regard, my Hundred Herb Pavilion will have specialized alchemists come to check. The same principle applies to medicinal pills."
As soon as Hu Yanzao finished speaking, Xiao Yan immediately frowned. This Hundred Herb Pavilion played a good hand. In this way, no matter what kind of item the person who bought medicinal herbs or medicinal pills obtained, the other party would definitely obtain an item of equal value. In other words, wasn't this the same principle as not having any business?
But, then, where would they get their profits?
Thinking up to there, Xiao Yan could not help but become curious. How would a store with no business be able to make profits? How would it continue to operate?
"This Broken Mirror Flower is nearly two thousand years old, and its medicinal properties are extremely rich. If it is used to refine the Broken Mirror Pill, it should be able to refine three or four pills. If Little Brother is able to ask a rank five alchemist to successfully refine such a medicinal herb, then the profits will instantly skyrocket!"
Although Hu Yanzao was not an alchemist, he had managed the Hundred Herb Pavilion for many years. He had an extremely good understanding of the uses and qualities of all the medicinal herbs here. The Broken Mirror Flower could be used to refine many pills, but according to what he knew, the Broken Mirror Pill was still the most in demand. Not to mention, Xiao Yan was only a young man. Since he had found the Broken Mirror Flower, he obviously wanted the Broken Mirror Pill.
"Young man, you should know that the Broken Mirror Pill has an extremely high chance of helping an Origin Transformation expert break through to Returnance. If you take it, not only will you be able to increase your cultivation, the remaining Broken Mirror Pill will definitely be a hot item in an auction. At that time, you'll be able to make a huge profit!"
Hu Yanzao forcefully raised the price of the Broken Mirror Flower with his words. If Xiao Yan had spoken, Hu Yanzao would have definitely raised the price of the Broken Mirror Flower even higher. At that time, it would no longer be a problem that could be solved with a medicinal herb of the same value.
The Broken Mirror Flower was indeed the most important main ingredient for refining the Broken Mirror Pill, but Hu Yanzao's words were still a little biased. Although he had exaggerated the Broken Mirror Flower to the point that it was impossible to refine a pill with just one medicinal herb. Once other medicinal herbs were added, the nature of the pill would change drastically, and the value of the Broken Mirror Pill would decrease as well.
This Hu Babble truly lived up to his name. For the sake of his own family's interests, he simply did not care about anything else. Just a portion of the main ingredient was already able to be blown to such a miraculous degree by him. If it was any other ingredient, wouldn't it have been blown to the skies by him?
"If that's the case …"
After a long period of silence, Xiao Yan continued to listen to Hu Yanzao's boasting. Only when the person before him stared at him for a long time did Xiao Yan speak.
Before he could even say anything, Hu Yanzao had already held his breath and stared with his eyes wide open. He waited for Xiao Yan to nod.
"How many more Broken Mirror Flowers do you have? I'll take them all!"
However, just as Xiao Yan was still hesitating on whether he should reject, a young man wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, who had gathered at an unknown time, suddenly opened his mouth. His words were like a clap of thunder that instantly broke the atmosphere between Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan like a bolt from the blue.
