Self-struggle starting from Douluo

"There aren't many alchemists I've dealt with, let alone a sixth-grade alchemist like you?"

Qing Huan looked at the white-haired old man curiously and asked, "You and I should have never met, right?"

Cai Lin was a little surprised. It seemed that the Black Horn Region was indeed full of hidden talents. In this pharmacy, there was actually such a high-level alchemist.
The influence of a sixth-rank alchemist below the Dou Zong level is unquestionable. It seems that the alliance's entry into the Black Horn Region may not be as easy as imagined.

The old man slowly calmed down and said with a smile: "Please forgive me, sir. I was blind for a moment and recognized the wrong person."

As soon as he heard it, he knew it was a lie, but Qing Huan was too lazy to delve into it. He nodded and said, "It's good that you are not seeking revenge."

Shock flashed across the charming woman's eyes, and her smile became more enthusiastic. She said, "Old Yan is old, so it is understandable that he made a mistake... I am the owner of Qianyaofang, so you can just call me Owner Yao. May I know your name?"

"Just call me Qing Huan."

Qing Huan nodded, pressed Zi Yan's head and moved her over, saying: "Have you finished picking? Wipe your saliva, I haven't treated your mouth badly!"

Zi Yan wiped her mouth and said excitedly: "Qing Huan, even though the spiritual medicine here is not of high quality, it is well preserved and the medicinal effect has basically not been lost at all... I want them all."

"Then take them all." Qing Huan nodded and said to Master Yao, "What's the price?"

Master Yao was secretly shocked and said with a smile: "Mr. Qinghuan may not know the rules of the second floor of our Qianyaofang. The spiritual medicine here is not sold directly, but needs to be exchanged for elixirs...

The other alchemists also came here for these spiritual medicines. It's inappropriate for you to take them all away, right?"

Qing Huan glanced at the other alchemists and asked curiously, "Do we need to bid more?"

Master Yao smiled sweetly and said, "My Qianyaofang spent a lot of effort on these spiritual medicines. Now that we are open for business, the one with the highest bid will win. This is also to avoid disputes among you."

This woman is quite good at talking.

With the unique skill of "dividing pills" in hand, Qinghuan had no shortage of pills. Hearing this, he nodded, gestured to Cailin, and took Ziyan to sit aside.

Master Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That woman was a Dou Zong, and even Old Yan was wary of this young man. The fact that these two were willing to abide by the rules made things much easier for her.

"Mr. Yan, let's start. According to the old rules, select the ones of slightly lower quality first, and save the high-quality ones for later." Master Yao waved his jade hand, pointing to the medicinal herbs on the stone platform, and said with a smile.

The old man surnamed Yan nodded, then quickly walked up to a high platform in the hall, stretched out his hand and lightly knocked on the copper bell beside him. Suddenly, the crisp bell sounded in the hall.

"Apply medicine."

A dozen beautiful maids came out one after another, carrying trays with jade boxes on them. The trays, together with the elixirs in the crystal counter, were placed on the stone platform.

The rich medicinal fragrance made the alchemists look surprised, and Zi Yan kept wiping her saliva with shining eyes.

Master Yao came up to the stage and said with a smile, "These spiritual herbs were obtained by our Qianyaofang herbalists at the risk of their lives. They are of high quality. If you are interested, you may come up and exchange them."

Zi Yan looked at Qing Huan eagerly.

Qing Huan was speechless and said, "Don't you have it there?"

"Those were the ones you made for me to eat, how can you exchange them?" Zi Yan begged coquettishly, "Good Qing Huan, please give me some more pills to exchange."

Nodding at her speechlessly, Qing Huan shook his head and took out a few jade bottles, saying, "Go change them yourself."

Zi Yan happily rushed onto the stage holding the jade bottle.

Qing Huan said to Cai Lin, "Do you want some? I have a lot of low-grade medicinal pills here."

Cai Lin shook her head and said, "The Alliance has also collected these medicinal herbs. Let's wait until they come up with more precious ones."

"Right." Qing Huan slapped his head and took out a jade bottle, saying, "This is the Pei Yuan Dan that I slightly improved. It can assist in the cultivation of Dou Zong and Dou Zun levels. Take it and eat it."

Cai Lin was not shy and took it with a smile. She opened the jade bottle for a moment, then immediately closed it again and asked in surprise, "Seventh grade?"

"Peak Seventh Rank." Qing Huan said calmly, "Don't worry, the aura won't leak out."

Cai Lin raised her red lips, put it into the ring and said, "Thank you." It can be seen that she was in a good mood.

But Master Yao was in a bad mood.

Those alchemists had completely lost their former enthusiasm, and while selecting spiritual herbs, they were secretly keeping an eye on the little girl Zi Yan. As long as she showed an expression of interest in a spiritual herb, they would immediately choose to give up.

This allowed Zi Yan to easily use some second- and third-grade elixirs to exchange for a bunch of spiritual medicines.

In the past, the second floor was always very busy, but this time it was very quiet, eerily quiet.

Yao Fangzhu had a somewhat resentful expression on her face. She took a few steps and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Old Yan. He shook his head at her and said in a voice transmission, "Don't mess with this person!"

Master Yao whispered, "I think this gentleman is quite reasonable, eh?"

Old Yan still shook his head but did not explain.

Master Yao had no choice but to hold it in. His plan to make a fortune from this batch of elixirs was likely to fail.

"Haha, Master Yao, why don't you wait for this elixir exchange meeting? Are you afraid that I can't afford the price?"

Just then, a thunderous laugh came from the stairs.

Master Yao's pretty face changed: "It's Old Ghost Qi, why is he here again?"

Heavy footsteps gradually approached, and a moment later, a red-faced old man wearing a light yellow robe appeared under everyone's gaze.

Qing Huan glanced at him with a little surprise, and said to Cai Lin, "Another sixth-rank alchemist, his soul power is not low, it should be even higher than that Yan...but why does he look familiar?"

Cai Lin smiled and said, "Compared to here, we are just frogs in a well."

Master Yao had already stepped forward to greet him, with a warm smile on his face, and said in a sweet voice: "It turns out that it is Boss Qi who has come. The Black Emperor Sect is holding a large auction this time, and I thought Boss Qi didn't have time to come."

Old Qi laughed loudly, his voice extremely resonant, and said, "If Master Yao really welcomed me, he wouldn't have deliberately not informed me when changing the elixir this time!"

Master Yao quickly apologized and said, "It was not intentional, it's just that the Black Emperor Sect has been on high alert during this period, and we were unable to notify Elder Qi.

I guess there must be some rare treasures at the Black Emperor Sect's auction this time, which is why they are being protected so closely, right?"

Boss Qi laughed and said, "Don't try to trick me. I will leave after I change the elixir. I won't bother you any more."

Having said that, he went straight up to the stone platform and started to choose.

Master Yao stepped aside and whispered, "Did this old ghost Qi take the wrong medicine?"

Old Yan shook his head, obviously knowing something but unable to say it.

The other alchemists were in a tough situation. They had to avoid competing with Zi Yan before, and now there was another old man named Qi...

However, there is something interesting to watch.

As expected, Zi Yan finally confronted Mr. Qi.

"This is mine!" Zi Yan's clear voice came from the stone platform: "I have already paid for the pills!"

Qi Lao said in a thunderous voice: "Little girl, where did you steal the elixir from? As a fellow alchemist, I cannot bear to see someone steal the alchemist's elixir and bring it here to waste the spiritual medicine..."

Zi Yan shouted, "I didn't steal!"

Old Qi impatiently stretched out his hand and pushed her away: "You little bitch, get out of here..."

Cai Lin suddenly stood up, teleported to the stage, and gently pressed down on Mr. Qi's arm, instantly making him unable to move.

Qing Huan smiled helplessly and walked towards the stage. (End of this chapter)
