"Haha, Mister Xiao Yan, are you still upset about what happened just now?"
On the street, Xiao Yan and Lan Ye walked forward slowly. Fang Zhicong walked beside Lan Ye like a child.
Usually, Lan Ye would let him do whatever he wanted, but now that there was an urgent matter, Lan Ye naturally had to take care of him. This was also one of the tasks given to him by Fang Zhicong's father.
"The behavior of the Hundred Herb Pavilion is no different from a street robbery. How can such a shop still continue to operate?"
Xiao Yan really could not understand. Since the Hundred Herb Pavilion was so sinister, why would anyone be willing to do business with them and even willingly give them Spirit Stones?
"Haha, Mister Xiao Yan's words are somewhat reasonable. If they only make a fuss about the price of the medicinal herbs, it is indeed normal. However, they do not make a loss and still want to collect a large amount of Spirit Stones. This is indeed intolerable for ordinary people."
At this point, Lan Ye could not help but open his mouth. He glanced at Xiao Yan and laughed dryly before continuing to speak.
"But Mister Xiao Yan, have you ever thought about why they are doing this?"
"Hmm?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows. Wasn't this logic obvious? They were purely here for the Spirit Stones.
"Most of the medicinal herbs in the Hundred Herb Pavilion are actually placed in the auction. All the truly valuable things will be there. Although the remaining medicinal herbs and elixirs are similarly difficult to find in the outside world, their value is far less than the former. Even so, the resources that the Hundred Herb Pavilion has are not comparable to other shops in Hopeless City."
"This is because they monopolize all the medicinal herbs resources from outside Hopeless City. Of course, this is only limited to high-grade medicinal herbs. However, this alone is enough to make them the leader of Hopeless City. The Spirit Stones that the Hundred Herb Pavilion obtains are actually only used to supply their mercenary teams outside. The real profits are firmly held in the palm of their hands."
When Lan Ye said this, Xiao Yan's eyes immediately revealed a trace of surprise. According to this, the Hundred Herb Pavilion's profits were only the tip of the iceberg. The real benefits came from the auction.
"Let me ask you, if someone went to look for high-grade medicinal herbs like you did today, in this Hopeless City, there is no other shop other than the Hundred Herb Pavilion. If you don't buy from them, what else can you do? Without high-grade medicinal herbs and high-grade elixirs, you are destined to be unable to obtain high-grade elixirs. From a certain point of view, it is equivalent to losing a means to protect yourself. At this point, would you still care about the price of medicinal herbs?"
"In order to save your life, you have to pay a high price!"
At this point, Lan Ye involuntarily glanced at Fang Zhicong. To be honest, the latter's fate seemed to be based on this logic!
Hearing Lan Ye's words, Xiao Yan could not help but knit his eyebrows. If that was the case, not only would the daily transactions within the Hundred Herb Pavilion not cause them any losses, they could even regularly place a large amount of medicinal ingredients into the auction house and use them to obtain even greater profits. On the other hand, even if the mercenaries outside were to die under the claws of Magic Beasts or disappear into the endless mountain forests, they would never be able to obtain the true returns that they deserved.
"The core of the entire operation of this force is always medicinal herbs. The Spirit Stones are only used to repair the losses from the outside world. As long as there is an endless stream of mercenaries, the Hundred Herb Pavilion will never be in a deficit. The people behind them only need to wait for the right opportunity to reap sufficient benefits."
When he heard this, Xiao Yan's heart instantly trembled. However, he understood that the reason for this irreversible situation was actually because of the lack of power.
If it were not for the fact that his cultivation was not good enough, the other shops in Wuwang City would not be willing to be trampled on, and all the high-grade medicinal herbs would not fall into the Hundred Herb Pavilion. All of this was because there was another big hand behind the scenes manipulating everything.
"Oh, that's right. Previously, when I saw Mister Xiao Yan release the Heavenly Fire … I can't help but guess, could it be that Mister is also an alchemist?"
When he saw Xiao Yan's slightly ashen expression, Lan Ye sighed helplessly in his heart. In order to change the topic, he quickly asked. Hearing this, Xiao Yan did not hide anything and nodded with a smile.
"Hiss …"
When he saw that Xiao Yan actually nodded in agreement, Lan Ye immediately gasped in shock. Not to mention that he was able to possess such a tyrannical cultivation at such a young age, he was actually an alchemist. This was really unbelievable. Furthermore, based on Xiao Yan's cultivation, Lan Ye guessed that Xiao Yan's realm in alchemy would not be too low!
Then, Lan Ye began to flatter Xiao Yan. Naturally, Xiao Yan smiled and accepted all of it.
After exchanging some greetings, the three of them finally arrived in front of a villa. According to Lan Ye, this villa was specially bought to make it convenient for Fang Zhicong to play around. Such a villa existed in quite a number of cities in the extreme south. These words caused Xiao Yan's heart to be speechless.
A moment later, in a room, Xiao Yan stood in front of the bed. Lan Ye stood quietly beside him, staring at Xiao Yan with a face full of expectation.
On the bed, Fang Zhicong had already fainted. In order to avoid trouble, Lan Ye had hit his young master quite hard. It seemed that this fatty would not wake up until the next day.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, I'll have to rely on you next."
Back to the main topic, Lan Ye once again cupped his hands towards Xiao Yan. Seeing this, the latter smiled back and then focused his gaze on Fang Zhicong's body.
To be honest, Xiao Yan had only used his Soul Power to roughly check before, so he could not confirm the exact condition of the poison in this guy's body. So now, to be on the safe side, Xiao Yan had to carefully check the condition of Fang Zhicong's body from the beginning to the end.
With a thought, a surge of Soul Power suddenly gushed out from between his eyebrows, and an invisible pressure also spread out.
The expression on Lan Ye's old face immediately changed drastically when he sensed the great strength of this pressure. A pair of deep eyes instantly stared intently at Xiao Yan. The shock in his heart caused his breathing to involuntarily become hurried.
"This … What a powerful Soul Power. This Soul Power is probably … comparable to a Rank Five! Then he … "
Thoughts raced in his mind. Lan Ye had imagined Xiao Yan's attainments in alchemy and could guess that he must be a high level alchemist. But what he never expected was that this guy was actually a Rank Five alchemist!
Such an alchemist, even in their Fang Family, was definitely not an existence that could be ignored!
"This kid … Who exactly is he?"
