The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 894 - 494: An Exciting Day
...
Lao slowly broke free from the warm embrace and wiped his face with the sleeve of his robe. Happiness flickered in his eyes, and a smile crept onto his face, a smile he obviously couldn’t hide.
"I think we need to sleep now. Tomorrow will be an exciting day," Yan Xiaobao said, and Lao nodded. Although he wouldn’t sleep but would be cultivating, he was resting while he did so.
"I’ll get Qiao to sleep," Wang Julong said with a smile. As she walked toward the mansion, she stood up while gently cuddling the child. Yan Xiaobao and Lao followed behind, smiling.
....
"Look at that!" Qiao said, her eyes constantly darting left and right. Her whole body trembled with excitement. She had never had the chance to visit a bustling market like this before. Many experts, merchants, and mercenaries had saved all their items for this annual pill auction, and the number of people selling goods was more than three times the usual. Food stalls were everywhere, and when she said she wished to spend her money on food, Qiao was quite earnest.
As a King-level expert, Qiao could eat as much as she wanted without gaining weight, and she made an effort to eat continuously. At one moment, she held a candied apple, and next, a sugar-coated almond. She often had some pastries and buns in hand as well.
Wherever she went, people treated her with great respect, especially considering she was such a small child, because they noticed her aura was extremely strong.
In the market, there were not only merchants, mercenaries, and cultivators, but also some poor people who came to sell their family heirlooms in hopes of earning enough money to survive.
Yan Xiaobao walked along with Wang Julong and Lao. On Yan Xiaobao’s shoulder sat Huli, perched like a Guardian overlooking the entire world.
Lao, like Qiao, often looked around the sights. Whenever Qiao stopped to buy food, Lao would look at the nearby stalls, but he hadn’t found anything that caught his attention yet. Yan Xiaobao wasn’t interested in ordinary items; he only wanted to buy herbs and ingredients.
The more valuable the items, the farther from the market center they were. Usually, Muchuan City had five large markets and ten smaller ones; however, today, the small ones had become large, and the large ones had grown even larger. Today, everyone was out shopping. On the streets, stalls were set up, allowing even those who couldn’t afford market fees to sell.
Entering the market was the safest option. Many guards from the city’s powerful families would ensure there were no problems. Those outside the market risked being robbed by ruthless mercenaries.
The market where Yan Xiaobao and his family were currently was one of the smaller ones. As they walked through it, they understood it didn’t have many interesting things.
"Let’s head to one of the larger markets," Yan Xiaobao suggested with a smile, and the others nodded. The four of them moved towards the market near the Alchemy Guild. The closer they got to the market, the more people appeared in front of them. However, people ensured they weren’t in the way of this group of four, as even the weakest child in the group was a top-ranked expert. Such talent was enough to intimidate anyone.
"It seems like the whole city is out here looking around," Yan Xiaobao laughed as he spoke to his family, all moving at a steady pace, not slowed by the crowd. Looking at the sky, Yan Xiaobao saw numerous experts zipping around on Flying Swords. Undoubtedly, it was the best mode of transport when the ground was packed.
"As his curiosity rose, it seemed like they were all headed in a certain direction." Looking at his family, he saw they shared the same curiosity. Even Qiao, busy with her fifth candied apple, was filled with curiosity.
The group exchanged smiles, needing no words, as they all summoned a Flying Sword from their storage stones.
Comparing these swords to the ones used by other experts was like comparing ants to elephants. These were crafted from the best materials Yan Xiaobao possessed, and the runes etched into them were the finest he could write. This group of four soared into the sky, heading in the same direction as the others.
Standing on their swords and looking down, they all realized they were heading towards the Alchemy Guild.
In front of the guild was a large city square. Usually, it was empty, but today, a large stage and rows of seating had been set up. Many of these seats were already taken, and Yan Xiaobao landed in front of an attendant handing out flyers, showing what kinds of pills would be on sale at today’s auction.
The auction took place once a day for a week, with many Alchemists vying for a spot in today’s auction. Initially, Yan Xiaobao wasn’t interested in selling any of his medicine pills, but seeing the immense interest in many pills, Yan Xiaobao reconsidered.
Yan Xiaobao landed in front of the attendant, accepting a flyer and casually flipping through it. As he saw someone selling White Yin Energy Pills from an unknown grave, his eyebrows raised.
The Yin Pills weren’t the only pills from the unknown grave; there were also some red and some black pills. Hui Yue recognized them all since he had many himself. On the other hand, he had never planned to sell these pills because he knew how useful these medicines were, especially since he frequently relied on the White Yin Energy Pills to maintain his training foundation’s Yin Yang balance.
