Three million gold?
Lu An and Beauty Yang looked at the woman in front of them in surprise. Both of them had a good understanding of the market for pills. If these nine pills were to be sold, they could only be sold for about three million and five hundred thousand gold. Moreover, they might not be sold immediately. This woman directly offered three million gold. This kind of profit was not something an ordinary merchant could accept.
It seemed that this woman was determined to tie him to the Li Family Chamber of Commerce.
However, although the price was tempting, Lu An still would not do something that owed a favor. To him, as a pharmacist, he would not lack money in the future. He also did not want to be associated with too many people because of a few hundred thousand gold. Thus, he shook his head.
"Two million and two hundred and fifty thousand gold. It's settled then. We'll talk about other things in the future." Lu An said softly, "If I have more Heart Flame Pills, I'll come here again."
Seeing that Lu An was not tempted by the price, Li Shuo was not dissatisfied. Instead, he became more curious about the young Lu An. It was rare for young people to have such thoughts.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Li Shuo smiled and turned to the woman, "Get someone to prepare the money."
"Yes." The woman heard and quickly left the room to prepare.
"The money needs to be prepared. After all, two million and two hundred and fifty thousand gold is not a small amount. Why don't we sit down and wait?" Li Shuo smiled politely and pointed to the side.
Lu An did not refuse and walked to the side and sat down. After Li Shuo sat down, he realized that the woman behind Lu An did not sit down. In fact, he had already noticed this woman. After all, such a beautiful and elegant woman was too rare. However, judging from her bearing, this woman seemed to be the man's maid. They were not of the same status.
Although he felt very surprised, Li Shuo naturally would not say anything in this regard. She looked at Lu An and asked with a smile, "May I know your name?"
"Lu An." Lu An said.
"Lu An …" Li Shuo thought carefully and said after searching his mind, "I've never seen Young Master Lu before. May I ask if you're a local?"
"That's not it, I'm just a tourist," Lu An shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Sightseeing, I'll leave after a while."
"So it's like this …" Li Shuo sighed and could not help but say, "For Young Master Lu to be able to refine the Heart Flame Pill at such a young age, if you can stay in Snatching Light City, your future will be limitless."
Lu An was slightly startled when he heard this and said, "Miss, you've misunderstood. I didn't refine the Heart Flame Pill. The alchemist is someone else."
"Really?" Li Shuo smiled and looked at Lu An meaningfully. "If Young Master Lu says so, then so be it. How long will Young Master be staying in Snatching Light City? "
"Not necessarily. At most a year, but at least a month." Lu An said. He did not lie. Even if his alchemy skills did not reach the level he wanted, it was impossible for him to stay in the same city for more than a year.
"Then there's still some time," Li Shuo smiled and said, "Moreover, you'll be able to make it in time for the 'Mountain Excursion' half a month later."
"Mountain Excursion?" Lu An was startled when he heard this. He had never heard of such a thing and asked curiously, "What's that?"
"It's not a big deal. All the merchant associations in Snatching Light City will go to Yun Guang Mountain once every three months." Li Shuo smiled and explained, "Yun Guang Mountain is a mountain range 50 li outside of Snatching Light City. There are many precious materials and strange beasts in there. However, in order to protect the environment, the five merchant associations have set a rule that they can only go once every three months. It's called the Mountain Excursion. "
"The Mountain Excursion is led by the five merchant associations. The other merchant associations can only send people according to their strength. The Mountain Excursion lasts for a total of seven days. It's not too long nor too short and should be enough. " Li Shuo smiled and said, "Although the Mountain Excursion is not open to outsiders, if Young Master Lu wants to go, I can give you a quota from the Li Family. Moreover, everything you obtain will belong to you."
After Lu An heard this, he understood what the Mountain Excursion was. Just seven days was not enough for a merchant association to operate for three months. In other words, ordinary materials could be obtained through other channels. However, the Yun Guang Mountain was filled with precious materials.
"How about it?" Seeing that Lu An did not reply, Li Shuo smiled and said, "Moreover, there are many special opportunities in the Yun Guang Mountain. If you obtain them, your strength will increase."
Lu An was startled when he heard this, but he still smiled and said, "I appreciate Miss's good intentions. If I really want to go, I will come and beg Miss."
After receiving Lu An's answer, Li Shuo was not satisfied. She did not expect that this person would not be moved even after she offered him a quota for the Mountain Excursion. One must know that many people would fight to the death for this quota. After all, there were many things that could be brought in in seven days.
Just as Li Shuo was about to say something, there was a knock on the door. The woman who had just left returned with a tray filled with Sky Starlight Stones. She walked in front of Li Shuo and said, "Big Miss, the money is ready."
Li Shuo frowned. She was obviously annoyed by this untimely action. However, she did not say anything in front of a guest. She took the tray and placed it on the table and said, "225 stones. Young Master Lu, please take a look."
"No need." Lu An smiled. He did not check the amount and directly put all the Sky Starlight Stones into his ring. He then stood up and said, "Since it's like this, I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."
Li Shuo also stood up and said with a smile, "Then I won't keep Young Master any longer. If Young Master has any trouble in Snatching Light City, you can come and find me here. In Snatching Light City, the Li Clan still has some authority. "
"Okay." Lu An smiled and left with Beauty Yang.
Hearing the footsteps getting further and further away, the smile on Li Shuo's face gradually disappeared and was replaced with a serious expression. The woman by the side also knew that she had done something wrong. She could not help but ask guiltily, "Young Miss, did I do something wrong?"
Li Shuo looked at the woman. This woman was actually a very talented alchemist in the Li Clan and was not a professional businesswoman. Since things had already come to this, she did not want to blame her. She only said, "The past few days have been too chaotic. Maybe I was too nervous and wanted to rope in more people."
"Then … what should we do?" The woman asked.
Li Shuo frowned even more. After thinking for a while, she said, "Get someone to investigate the background of these two people. However, do not let them know. I would rather not know anything than offend them. To be able to have such good alchemy skills and cultivation at such a young age, their background is definitely not small! "
"Yes!" The woman immediately said and left the room to give the orders. Li Shuo was left alone in the room with a frown.
At the same time, Lu An and Beauty Yang, who were already walking on the street, did not know what was going on. Lu An, who had been refining pills day and night, rarely had the time to leisurely walk. Looking at the dazzling line-up of shops and stalls on both sides of the street, it could be considered as a kind of enjoyment for him.
At noon, they still had to go back home to eat with Xiao Rou. However, there was still some time before noon, so the two strolled on the street. The two went to many shops. In the tailor shop, Lu An bought several sets of clothes for himself, Beauty Yang and Xiao Rou. He was not a stingy person. Not to mention, he had some money now.
After strolling for a while, the two came to an antique shop. In fact, Lu An could be said to be completely ignorant about calligraphy and painting. After all, before entering Starfire Academy, he did not even know how to read. Although he had already learned it after so long, he could only sigh at this kind of profound culture.
However, Beauty Yang was different. Her knowledge was much higher than his. He knew that she was interested in this place, so he patiently accompanied her to look around the antique shop.
This antique shop was very big and luxurious. There were all kinds of goods inside. Lu An did not know anything. He only saw a fan on the counter and stood in front of the fan to look at it. There were many paintings of mountains and rivers on the fan. There was even a poem on it. Even he who did not know anything felt that it was very beautiful.
Just as Lu An was focused on looking at the fan, two people's voices suddenly attracted his attention.
This antique shop was very luxurious. Those who could enter the shop were not ordinary people. The two of them were dressed very well. One of them said to the other, "Recently, Snatching Light City has been getting more and more restless!"
"Who says it isn't?" The other person immediately said, "I heard that in the past few days, many people have died. Many people went out early in the morning and found corpses lying at the door. They were almost scared to death!"
"Then do you know what is going on?"
"What else can it be?" That person shook his head and sighed, "To be able to cause such a big commotion in Snatching Light City, only the five big merchant associations!"
