Chapter 89 Pipa Grass Strongly Solicits Votes

  After leaving the Xia family, Xia Yan took a stroll on Long Street and had a casual breakfast. He also went to the North District Fang Market for an inspection. His current position is still the Inspector of the North District Fang Market, and every ten days or half a month, he would go to take a look at the market and listen to the reports from his subordinates about the accounts.

  The Xia family's northern district is a place where no one dares to cause trouble. Since the Xi Qiu Shui incident, business in the northern district has been getting better and better. The Xia family's reputation in Yushui City has already quietly surpassed that of the Xi and Wang families.

  It wasn't until nearly noon that Xia Yan put on a mask in a corner and headed towards the auction house. Along the way, Xia Yan was walking through small alleys and didn't encounter many people.

  And at Xia Yan's speed, even if someone saw him, it would only take a moment for him to lose sight of Xia Yan.

  At this time, in the auction house's medicinal herbs shop, Mo Kei, dressed in a luxurious long gown, was pacing back and forth restlessly, rubbing his palms together, looking deeply worried.

  Today is the day he and Xia Yan agreed to exchange medicinal materials!

  "How can this be good..."

  "What can be done about this......"

  Such words occasionally escaped from Mo Ke's mouth with a sigh.

  "I think that masked man doesn't seem like an unreasonable person, he shouldn't get angry." The little woman in the shop said quietly and cautiously seeing Mo Ke's dejected appearance.

  "You know what, you didn't see the palm wind he swung that day! If he gets angry, one slap can kill me. I said earlier that I could prepare the medicine in a week, but now it's missing one thing, how can he not be angry?" Mo Kai's eyes suddenly widened.

  The little woman saw Mo Kei like this and didn't say anything else. She just continued to lower her small head and busied herself with the work in her hands.

  At this moment, a figure flashed at the door and walked in, it was the masked man.

  Xia Yan wore a mask, with a hint of sharp light flashing in his eyes, and his gaze fell directly on Mo Kai's body.

  Mo Ke couldn't see Xia Yan's expression, but being stared at by this gaze, his forehead was instantly covered in a layer of cold sweat.

  "Mr. Mo Ke, are all the medicinal materials I need ready? Jin Piao, I've brought them all."

  As he spoke, Xia Yan took out a bundle of gold notes from his bosom, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

  The luster on this golden ticket is even more magnificent than that of gold coins.

  "This..."

  Mo Kai's face turned pale and he swallowed hard.

  Xia Yan's eyebrows furrowed, "Could it be that those few medicinal herbs haven't been prepared yet?"

  Even if it means spending more gold coins, Xia Yan wanted to prepare all the medicinal materials as soon as possible. Gold coins couldn't directly increase his strength, and Xia Yan didn't place much importance on them either.

  "Respected sir, please listen to my explanation!! The thing... the thing is like this! That... that, sir, you wanted eight kinds of medicinal herbs, and I have prepared seven of them properly, but... but that last one, pipa grass, I really can't find it!"

  Mo Kai almost burst into tears on the spot, and his body trembled slightly.

  Xia Yan's eyebrows relaxed slightly, looking at Mo Kai's bitter expression at this time, he must have also tried his best.

  "You said it was no problem at first, didn't you?" Xia Yan still sounded somewhat dissatisfied.

  "Sir, mainly because I didn't know that Pipa Grass was so valuable before. After sending the message to Purple Leaf City, I just found out that Pipa Grass is now extremely hard to find, even auction houses are lacking this precious medicinal material. If one can be found, the auction house will directly sell it in the ongoing auction." Seeing Xia Yan didn't seem to have any signs of anger, Mo Ke's speech became much smoother.

  Xia Yan furrowed his brow again.

  Pipa grass, I hadn't heard of it before either. If it's really that hard to find, won't the plan for preparing the medicine be delayed again for a long time?

  "But...," Mo Kai suddenly changed his tone.

  Xia Yan quickly shifted his gaze towards Mo Kai.

  "I've heard that the Pipa Grass grows in the Misty Valley of the Sinister Forest. Sir, all you need to do is hire a team of powerful adventurer mercenaries from the Mercenary Hall and have them search for the Pipa Grass in the Misty Valley. However, I'm afraid you'll have to go to Purple Leaf City to hire the mercenaries, as those in Jade Water City are not strong enough and won't be able to complete this task." Mokai quickened his pace.

  "Misty Mountains? Forest of Sin?" Xia Yan's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

  The Forest of Sin is the most dangerous place on the Dragon Continent. The other end of the Forest of Sin leads to the Dark Night Continent.

  In the Forest of Evil, every day people from the Dragon Continent and the Dark Night Continent die in battle.

  Every day, countless people also flood into the forest of sin.

  Although fraught with great danger, the Forest of Evil is also a treasure trove of equal magnitude.

  The medicinal materials, minerals and some rare wild beasts' bodies contained inside are all treasures worth a city. Moreover, you can also gain precious merits by killing the people of Dark Night Continent!

  "Yes, respected sir, after much effort I finally obtained a map of the Misty Valley. I think you will find it useful. However, the Misty Valley is extremely perilous and now even mercenaries are unwilling to go there to search for pipa grass, which is why pipa grass is so scarce on the continent." Mo Ke hastily pulled out a piece of animal skin with a map drawn on it. In fact, pipa grass was only an intermediate-level medicinal herb, but because it was difficult to obtain, it became exceptionally valuable.

  It's clear that since Mo Kai couldn't find the pipa grass, he thought of many other ways to make up for his mistake.

  The map of this misty valley must have been obtained by him after he couldn't find the pipa grass.

  Xia Yan took over the map and looked at it intently for a while.

  Xia Yan has never entered the Forest of Evil before, and now he can only see the route to enter the Forest of Evil on the map.

  Starting from the North Gate of Yushui City, enter the front-line stronghold of Niusha Town, and then pass through the Dragon Continent Fortress to reach the Sin Forest. As for what's inside the hundreds of millions of square kilometers of the Sin Forest, Xia Yan had no idea at all.

  His father, Xia Dongsheng, died in the Forest of Evil. And Xia Yan's mother was also brought back to the Dragon Continent by Xia Dongsheng from the Forest of Evil.

  "Drynaria, Huang Yu Hua, Bai Nian Qing Lian..." Mo Kai's eyes were fixed on Xia Yan as he rattled off a string of medicinal names, "I've already prepared all seven of these medicines."

  After finishing speaking, Mo Kai gave a wink to the little woman in the pharmacy, and that lovely little woman took out a relatively large exquisite box from the counter.

  Xia Yan nodded, "I know you've also tried your best. For these seven medicinal materials, how many gold coins are needed in total?"

  Although Xia Yan's hand held a stack of glittering golden tickets that made Mo Ke swallow his saliva nonstop, Mo Ke still really didn't dare to raise the price.

  "Hey, respected sir, this... totals 35,000 gold coins. At a discount of 20%, that's 28,000 gold coins..." Mo Kai said with a sly smile on his face.

  Although it's 20% off, there is still a huge profit. Suddenly making nearly 30,000 gold coins in business, this is a big deal.

  Xia Yan didn't say much, directly handing over 28,000 gold coins to Mo Kai. He stuffed the map and gold ticket together into his bosom, then picked up the box and took a look. Although he didn't recognize these medicinal materials, he thought that Mo Kai wouldn't dare cheat him.

  "Thank you, Mr. Mo Ke! If I need it in the future, I'll come to find you again, and cooperate as soon as possible." Xia Yan said to Mo Ke, "Also thank you!"

  After saying that to Mo Ke, Xia Yan looked at the cute little woman again and smiled.

  The little woman's face turned red, although she couldn't see Xia Yan's appearance clearly, but his eyes were so captivating!
