“I say, Lin Miaohan, why don’t you come back to the Zhuang Family with me and become my fourth concubine? If you warm my bed, how would this Young Master mistreat a beauty like you?”

Zhuang Muyun’s gaze swept over Lin Miaohan’s curvaceous figure as he chuckled lecherously.

Those words made Lin Miaohan’s face flush red with anger as she glared at his shameless face.

“He’s just a mad dog. Big Sister, ignore him. Let’s go.” Qin Yichen couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to such a minor character. For him, crushing the Zhuang Family was as easy as turning over his hand.

It was just that he did not want to reveal his edge now. After all, he hadn’t grown yet. If someone with ill intentions set their sights on him, it would bring in unnecessary trouble.

“Stop right there!” Zhuang Muyun blocked his path and glared at him, “Who did you say was a mad dog?”

“Sir, please don’t obstruct the customers of our Treasure Pavilion.” The maid spoke up to remind him.

Although she only glanced at it, with her discerning eye, she could naturally tell that the bottle of Medicinal Liquid in Qin Yichen’s hand was at least Fifth Grade or above.

In the entire Jade Creek City, there were only a few people who could concoct Fifth Grade Medicinal Liquids. Even in the Treasure Pavilion, only that lofty revered Elder could do it.

Although she wasn’t clear on how Qin Yichen obtained the Medicinal Liquid in his hand, someone who could possess Medicinal Liquid of this quality probably had an extraordinary identity.

“Customers?” Zhuang Muyun blanked for a moment, then his gaze finally fell on the bottle in Qin Yichen’s hand. He was stunned at first, then sneered, “You dare to bring the defective products from your Lin Family to sell at Treasure Pavilion?”

He was quite familiar with the Lin Family. Even if Lin Miaohan’s Father personally concocted the medicine, the chances of producing Third Grade Medicinal Liquid were very low.

If the Medicinal Liquid wasn’t above Third Grade, the Treasure Pavilion definitely wouldn’t accept it.

“That’s none of your business.” Qin Yichen glanced at him and ignored him, pulling Lin Miaohan to walk towards the selling area.

“Hmph, I’ll just wait and see how you fail!” Zhuang Muyun snorted coldly and followed, wanting to kick them while they were down after they got kicked out of Treasure Pavilion.

Compared to the bustling outside, the selling area seemed a bit deserted, with only a middle-aged man sitting there, yawning.

After all, the Treasure Pavilion didn’t accept just anything.

“What do you want to sell?” Gotten woken up, the middle-aged man seemed impatient.

Qin Yichen didn’t speak and took out a bottle of Qi Recovery Liquid, placing it on the table in front of him.

“Haha, your Lin Family wouldn’t be trying to sell a bottle of water here, right?” Zhuang Muyun, who had followed, saw the nearly transparent Qi Recovery Liquid and was stunned at first, then burst out laughing, making Lin Miaohan so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Although Qin Yichen acted very confidently, she was well aware that this Qi Recovery Liquid was concocted from Medicinal Dregs. [How could it possibly be Fifth Grade?]

“Kid, you’re not here to make fun of me, are you?” Seeing that crystal clear Medicinal Liquid, the middle-aged man’s already unpleasant expression turned gloomy.

Just based on the clear colour of this Medicinal Liquid, it was at least Fifth Grade!

However, he knew clearly that even their lofty revered Elder above had to exert great effort to concoct a bottle of Fifth Grade or higher Medicinal Liquid. Moreover, compared to concocting Medicinal Liquids, why would an Alchemist waste Spiritual Energy on concocting Medicinal Liquids?

Apart from true Alchemists, who could concoct Fifth Grade or higher Medicinal Liquids?

Therefore, he directly assumed Qin Yichen was someone who came to cause trouble.

“Xiao Qing, you’ve been by my side for so long, yet you lack the insight to judge something so simple?” He reprimanded the maid.

Seeing this scene, Zhuang Muyun was all smiles, while Lin Miaohan’s pretty face turned pale.

“Are you sure you won’t accept it?” Qin Yichen remained unfazed, the corner of his mouth even revealing a hint of amusement.

“Are you being annoying…”

“Xiao Zhang, did you receive anything today?”

Just as the middle-aged man was about to have the guards kick Qin Yichen out, a hunchbacked old man walked out from the small door of the selling area.

Seeing the old man’s slightly furrowed brows, it was not hard to tell that he was currently facing some difficult matter.

He was the manager of Treasure Pavilion in Jade Creek City. Recently, Treasure Pavilion was organising an auction, its goal being to suppress the other two major trading firms in one go.

From what Qin Yichen remembers, because Treasure Pavilion’s upcoming auction didn’t receive any particularly eye-catching rare Treasures, coupled with sabotage from the other two trading firms, it led to more than half the items being unsold. This had caused theTreasure Pavilion to suffer heavy losses. It even took them several years for them to recover from their losses.

“No…” Seeing this Elder, the middle-aged man instantly changed his lethargic attitude. He was about to shake his head when he discovered the Elder’s gaze had stopped on the bottle of Medicinal Liquid on his table.

“This is…” The Elder walked over, picked up the bottle of Qi Recovery Liquid on the table, then uncorked the bottle. Instantly, a pungent medicinal fragrance wafted out.

“Fifth Grade Qi Recovery Liquid, no, it should be Sixth Grade Qi Recovery Liquid!” After smelling it, the Elder exclaimed in surprise.

Just from smelling and looking, he could determine what it was. This showed how knowledgeable this Elder was.

“What?” The middle-aged man was completely astonished, Zhuang Muyun was not better off.

A Sixth Grade Medicinal Liquid, even the so-called Alchemy Masters in Jade Creek City definitely couldn’t concoct it.

Lin Miaohan, who was originally disappointed, instantly raised her head and looked at Qin Yichen beside her with incomparable shock.

[Sixth Grade Medicinal Liquid?!] She was different from these people. Including this manager Elder, the rest were at most curious about how the two of them obtained this bottle of Qi Recovery Liquid. As for her, she had personally witnessed the birth of these Qi Recovery Liquids!

Using some Medicinal Dregs and a few Medicinal Herbs had turned it into Sixth Grade Medicinal Liquid!?

If she hadn’t personally witnessed the entire process, Lin Miaohan would never have believed it.

“How is this possible?” Her opened mouth couldn’t close no matter what.

“Since your Treasure Pavilion won’t accept it, I can only go ask elsewhere…” Qin Yichen sighed as if in resignation and was about to take back the bottle of Qi Recovery Liquid.

With those words, the middle-aged man’s expression quickly changed.

He was very clear about what Sixth Grade Medicinal Liquid represented.

Even if the majority couldn’t afford such high-quality Medicinal Liquid, which were comparable to Pills, just the title of Sixth Grade Medicinal Liquid was enough to attract the attention of many.

What Treasure Pavilion, which was currently organising an auction, lacked was precisely something that could catch the eyes of the people.

To think someone here actually pushed this kind of thing away…

“Young man, name a price for this medicine. My Treasure Pavilion will take it.”

After fiercely glaring at the middle-aged man, the Elder put on a sincere expression and asked Qin Yichen.

“Hehe, a hundred silver coins!” Qin Yichen smiled faintly and waved a finger.

“That’s daylight robbery!” The middle-aged man’s face flushed red with anger as he roared.

A hundred silver coins could purchase any ordinary Pill. Who would spend this unjustified amount of money to buy Medicinal Liquid?

“Shut up.” The Elder really wanted to slap this fool to death.

If it was normal times, he naturally wouldn’t accept it. However, at a time like this, even if Qin Yichen asked for two or three hundred silver coins, he would still buy it all the same.

“Young man, we’ll take it.”

“I changed my mind.” Just as the Elder was about to take out the money, Qin Yichen took out two more bottles and said with a smile, “I’m selling three bottles together, not selling them individually!”

Three bottles of Medicinal Liquid for three hundred silver coins!

Even Zhuang Muyun wanted to curse.

This was not just extortion, this was blatant robbery!

“I’ll take them!” The Elder gritted his teeth and directly agreed.

“Big Sister, you keep the sum safe.” When Qin Yichen handed the bulging money pouch to Lin Miaohan, she still hadn’t reacted.

Some Medicinal Dregs had been resold for three hundred silver coins. This would be Lin Family’s entire income for half a year, and that was only if business was good!
