"Brother Xiao, you finally came to see me!" When Luo Qingshuang saw Ling Xiao, her face was filled with endless joy. She immediately let go of Granny Mo's hand and ran towards Ling Xiao.
"Now that I have a lover, I've forgotten about my grandmother," Mo Hongmei said happily.
Ling Xiao didn't expect Luo Qingshuang to be here, but when he remembered that this was the Luo family's territory, he understood.
"Shuang 'er, I didn't expect to see you here," Ling Xiao said with a smile. He then turned to Mo Hongmei and said respectfully, "Greetings, Granny Mo."
Mo Hongmei laughed, "Grandson-in-law, you're here, and you even brought so many people with you. Are you trying to tear down my auction?"
As soon as she said this, Wei Daier's heart shook. She didn't know why, but she felt unusually uncomfortable.
"Granny Mo, this junior has offended too many people. The elders in the family are worried, so they're following me," Ling Xiao replied.
"You also know that you've offended a lot of people," Mo Hongmei said. She then turned to the young woman beside her and said, "Where's the esteemed guest who's going to auction the pills?"
The young woman was surprised, and then she pointed at Ling Xiao and said, "Elder Mo, this is the young master who's going to auction."
"Grandson-in-law has second-tier pills to auction?" Even Mo Hongmei looked at Ling Xiao in surprise.
Ling Xiao nodded and placed three bottles of pills in front of Mo Hongmei, saying, "Granny Mo, here's a bottle of Energy Consolidation Pills, a bottle of Storm Pills, and a bottle of Muscle Growth Pills. Please take a look."
Mo Hongmei looked at Ling Xiao with a complicated expression and then picked up the three bottles of pills to check.
Sure enough, one bottle contained high-tier Energy Consolidation Pills, one low-tier second-tier Storm Pills, and the last bottle contained mid-tier second-tier Muscle Growth Pills.
"Grandson-in-law, come with me." Mo Hongmei sealed the three bottles of pills and returned them to Ling Xiao. She then called out to Ling Xiao and led the way to a room.
Ling Xiao nodded and asked the others to wait outside as he prepared to follow Mo Hongmei.
At this time, Luo Qingshuang was very happy. She held onto Ling Xiao's arm and said, "Brother Xiao, I'll go with you."
When the two of them entered the room, Wei Daier's face flashed with an undetectable sadness.
Leng She had been paying attention to the girl's expression. He felt a little disappointed for her, but he didn't think much of it.
With Ling Xiao's status, it was normal for him to have multiple wives and concubines in the future. It was also a good thing for Wei Daier to face reality earlier.
If she couldn't accept the fact that Ling Xiao was with other women, then it was better to cut off her feelings for Ling Xiao as soon as possible to avoid suffering in the future.
Actually, on the Xuanling Continent, it was very common for men to have multiple wives. The prerequisite was that they had the ability, and no one would say anything about it.
After Ling Xiao and Luo Qingshuang entered the room, Mo Hongmei looked at Ling Xiao and went straight to the point, "Do you know that this is a Level Two Pill?"
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Granny Mo, I know what you want to ask. This pill is mine. As for why I didn't leave it for the family, I naturally have my reasons. I won't reveal this aspect."
"Then do you know that these three bottles of pills are very important to any family?" Mo Hongmei looked straight at Ling Xiao and asked.
"Of course, although the Consolidating Qi Pill is only a level one medicinal pill, its value is the highest among all level one medicinal pills. It can increase the chances of a level nine Martial Disciple breaking through to the Profound Disciple realm. It is the most difficult and also the most precious medicinal pill to refine. The Gale Pill is a low level second stage medicinal pill, it can increase the speed of any martial artist below the Profound Disciple realm by two to three times. Its effects are self-evident. The Muscle Growing Pill is a life-saving spirit pill, its effects are obvious even if I don't say it." Ling Xiao explained the properties of the three medicinal pills.
"You are right, but don't you know that these three bottles of pills can provide a lot of protection for your Ling Family?" Mo Hongmei asked again.
With this bottle of Qi Strengthening Pill, at least a few Martial Disciples could successfully break through to the Mystic Realm. The Speed Flying Pill and the Muscle Gaining Pill were used to kill enemies and save lives. If they were given to the deacons of the family who went out to handle affairs, it would provide more protection.
Ling Xiao chuckled and said, "Granny Mo, are you advising me to put the family's interests first?
Since you know that the pills were made by me, why don't you think that I have more pills? "
Mo Hongmei's old eyes twitched, and then she asked excitedly, "You … You know a Level Two Alchemist, no … It should be a Level Three Alchemist or above?"
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded and said, "You can say that, but why do you think that he is a Level Three Alchemist?"
Mo Hongmei said, "The color and smell of the pills you just took out are quite high. They are definitely not refined by an ordinary Level Two Alchemist. Only an Alchemist above the Level Three Alchemist would have this ability."
Ling Xiao was stunned, but he did not think that he was a Level Three Alchemist. At the very least, he would have to refine a Level Three Alchemist.
A Level Three Pill required Level Three Spirit Grass and a large amount of Level Two and above Spirit Grass. These materials were not easy to obtain.
"Grandson-In-Law, do you want to introduce me to that Alchemist?" Mo Hongmei's tone became a bit more intimate, as if she really saw Ling Xiao as her grandson-in-law.
It must be known that any Alchemist was worthy of being harassed by any family. She, Mo Hongmei, naturally knew the pros and cons, and would definitely think of a way to please him.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "That old fellow has a bad temper. He doesn't want to see anyone other than me. I've let Granny Mo see a joke."
Mo Hongmei agreed and said, "That's right. Alchemists are all eccentric and arrogant, so I won't force you. However, you have to sell these three bottles of pills to me. In any case, you are going to auction them for money. How about this, I will represent the Luo Family and offer one million gold coins.
What do you think? "One million gold coins for three bottles of pills was definitely a fair price.
There were ten pills in each bottle. The Solid Qi Pill was worth around five thousand gold coins, the Storm Pill was worth around twenty thousand gold coins, and the Muscle Growth Pill was worth around fifty thousand gold coins. The total price was seven hundred and fifty thousand gold coins. Mo Hongmei's offer of one million gold coins was reasonable, as the auction price would definitely not be lower than that.
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Granny Mo, I can't sell these pills to you."
When Mo Hongmei heard Ling Xiao's words, she immediately said in a displeased tone, "Grandson-In-Law, I will give you another hundred thousand gold coins for a total of one million and one hundred thousand gold coins. If you still insist on auctioning them, then forget it."
Mo Hongmei originally had a good impression of Ling Xiao. He had reached the mid-level Mystic Realm at such a young age, and he also had two terrifying spirit beasts following him. She could almost foresee that Meteorite City would be Ling Xiao's world in the future, so she had always called Ling Xiao her grandson-in-law. She had planned for her granddaughter to follow Ling Xiao, which could also be considered as leaving a way out for the Luo Family.
However, now her impression of Ling Xiao had plummeted. It was only three bottles of pills, although it was a bit difficult to get, but they could still get a few every year.
Now she had offered one million and one hundred thousand gold coins for Ling Xiao to sell them to her Luo Family, but he was actually not willing to sell them. She thought that Ling Xiao was too snobbish and couldn't see the situation clearly.
If he was unhappy with her because of these three bottles of pills, wasn't he afraid that she would stop her granddaughter from being with him?
Luo Qingshuang, who was at the side, also said angrily, "Brother Xiao, you are so stingy, I … I will ignore you from now on."
Ling Xiao touched his nose and smiled, "Granny, you misunderstood me. I said that I won't sell these pills to you, but I didn't say that I won't sell anything else!"
"You … You still have second level pills?" Mo Hongmei was stunned and asked.
Immediately after, Ling Xiao took out three bottles of the same pills as before and said, "Granny, the three bottles I showed you just now were of the lowest quality. These three bottles are the real good pills."
Mo Hongmei snatched it impatiently and opened the lid. A stronger medicinal smell than before wafted out. Inside the bottle, there were round and gentle pills swirling around. It was indeed much better than the ones she had seen before.
Although Mo Hongmei wasn't an alchemist, she could still distinguish the quality of these pills from the bad.
"It's really a good medicine that only a third grade alchemist can refine. It's even better than the color and medicinal strength of the alchemist in the Spirit Herb Hall. I'll give you one million and five hundred thousand for these three bottles. How about selling it to granny?" Mo Hongmei said with slight excitement.
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Just as he was about to speak, Mo Hongmei misunderstood him again and asked, "Do you think it's too little?
This price won't be lower than the auction price. "
Ling Xiao hurriedly said, "Granny, don't be anxious. These three bottles of pills are junior's gift to you. How could I have the nerve to take your gold coins? Aren't you being too polite to me?"
He couldn't help but think of a classic saying from his previous life, talking about money hurts feelings!
"You … You're saying that you want to give these three bottles of pills to me?" Mo Hongmei asked in disbelief.
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "That's right, these three bottles are for you. I'll have to trouble you to get someone to auction off the original three bottles for me."
"Good … Good … Shuang 'er's eyes are right. Then I won't be delicate. I'll tell the auction house not to take any commission from you for the gold coins you get from the auction. Consider it a little gift from granny." Mo Hongmei's depression was swept away, and the more she looked at Ling Xiao, the more satisfied she was.
Luo Qingshuang looked at Ling Xiao even more infatuated. If Ling Xiao really wanted to eat her now, she probably wouldn't hesitate to agree.
Ling Xiao chatted with Mo Hongmei for a while longer, then stood up and said goodbye.
Luo Qingshuang pouted unwillingly and said, "Brother Xiao, you said you would come to see me. Now that we haven't seen each other for half a year, don't you want to stay with me?"
Ling Xiao pinched Luo Qingshuang's cheek and said, "Shuang 'er, be good. When the auction ends tomorrow, I'll accompany you again, okay?"
"That's what you said. Don't lie to me, or I'll ignore you from now on." Luo Qingshuang was very happy.
"Of course." Ling Xiao replied.
Before Ling Xiao and the others left the auction house, the young woman who received them handed a purple card to Ling Xiao.
This card represented that Ling Xiao was a top VIP in the Luo family's auction house.
Ling Xiao knew that this was a little gift from Mo Hongmei, so he accepted it without hesitation.
The reason why he was so generous and gave three bottles of pills to Mo Hongmei was because of Luo Qingshuang. No matter what, she was his maid, so he had to treat her well. Another reason was that he wanted to make friends with the Luo family. He had already offended the Li family, so he naturally couldn't make another strong enemy. As the saying went, it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
He did this for the sake of the future.
On the way back to the Ling family, Wei Daier was not in high spirits. Ling Xiao always teased her, but she only responded with a few cold words. She was completely different from before.
