Chapter 95 News!

  In the room Tianzi No. 5, the old man standing next to Lan Jia Zhu took over the jade bottle and carefully looked at it. At the same time, he imitated the previous old man and Lan Qiangqiang's movements, cutting a small opening on his arm and wiping it with the contents of the bottle. Immediately afterwards, his face showed the same shocked expression as the previous old man!

  Lan Jia's attention was drawn to Lao De's face, and he slightly furrowed his brow, turning to ask: "Old Li, what's wrong?"

  Upon hearing this, the old man didn't pay attention to Lan Jia's congratulations, but instead rushed directly in front of Ye Chen, his face excited as he said: "I don't know if this spiritual liquid was personally refined by you!"

  Lan Jia Zhu looked at the old man who didn't notice him and wasn't angry, but had a puzzled expression as he stared at the jade bottle in the old man's hand.

  Ye Chen looked at the old man's shocked expression, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly turned around in his mind. He then said to the old man: "Sir, this thing is not something I refined, but rather something my sister and I accidentally found outside! I don't know how much it's worth? How many bottles do you need to exchange for the Snake Scale Fruit that's being sold outside?"

  Nowadays, Ye Chen is no longer a newcomer, he understands that if he tells the old man that this spiritual liquid was refined by himself, it may bring some unnecessary trouble, so it's better to say it wasn't refined by himself.

  Li Lao Yi heard that it wasn't Ye Chen's, his face slightly darkened, but he didn't suspect Ye Chen's words. After all, in his eyes, Ye Chen was only 18 or 19 years old and couldn't possibly refine a spiritual liquid with such an extraordinary effect.

  Li Lao sank into thought for a moment before speaking in a soft voice, "This spiritual liquid has strong medicinal effects, but its grade is too low. In my opinion, it's most effective for cultivators at the Fragmented Body Realm, but once you reach the Yuan Dan Realm and above, it's almost negligible! Therefore, I can only give one bottle for 90,000 taels!"

  Ye Chen listened to Lao Li's words, without a hint of hesitation, and hastily said: "Alright, 900,000 it is! Including the bottle in your hand, I have a total of ten bottles. I'll sell them all to you. After you help me buy the Snake Scale Fruit that's for sale downstairs, just give me the remaining money!"

  Upon hearing this, Old Man Li nodded at Ye Chen and said in a soft voice: "There are eleven bottles in total. I'll give you 1 million taels for them. As for the Snake Scale Fruits that will be sold later, I'll take charge of it and sell them to you directly at the price that person called out, which is 800,000 taels. Then, you'll still have 200,000 taels left!"

  "Good!"

  Ye Chen directly agreed, wanting to know that Ye Chen's refining of these 'nourishing liquids' would cost at most a few hundred taels.

  Lan's family came forward and whispered: "Old Li, is this thing really worth so much money?"

  Li Lao turned his head to look at Lan Jia Zhu, his face serious as he nodded and said: "This is still because the grade of this spiritual liquid is too low. If it weren't for that, it would probably be a sky-high price. Unfortunately, if there was an elixir formula, even if I had to use my life's savings to exchange for it, I wouldn't have any regrets!"

  Upon hearing this, Lan Jia Zhu's expression wavered slightly, and then she turned her head to re-examine Ye Chen.

  A moment later, Lan Jia Zhu did not see anything useful from Ye Chen's expression, and immediately smiled slightly at Ye Chen, taking out two elixirs from his bosom and handing them directly to Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen looked at the medicinal pill handed over by Lan Jia Zhu, furrowed his brow, and looked at Lan Jia Zhu with confusion, unsure of what he meant.

  Liu Yuer watched Ye Chen's puzzled expression and directly took the dan medicine from Lan Jia Zhu's hand, then softly explained to Ye Chen: "This is a Gathering Qi Dan. Ordinary people outside won't carry too much money, and most cultivators use this kind of dan medicine as currency. 100,000 taels are equivalent to one 'Gathering Qi Dan'."

  Ye Chen listened to Liu Yuer's explanation and suddenly remembered that Xing Bu had also told him before that he still had a 'Ji Qi Dan' on his body.

  Ye Chen understood, took the 'Ji Qi Dan' handed over by Liu Yu'er, and bowed slightly to Lan's family, saying: "Thank you! Since that's the case, please give me the 'She Lin Guo'! My master sister and I will leave today!"

  Lan Qianqian, who had been standing beside Lan Jia Zhu all along, heard Ye Chen mention leaving again and her face slightly darkened, with a hint of sadness in her expression.

  No one knows a daughter better than her father!

  Lan Jia glanced at Lan Qianqian and immediately noticed something was off, then slightly shook her head, thinking to herself: A girl can't stay at home after coming of age!

  Lan Jia Zhu turned his head and smiled slightly at Ye Chen, saying: "I don't know if you have any intention of staying for a while longer?"

  Lan Qianqian heard that her father intended to keep Ye Chen, and immediately her face lit up with joy. She hastily chimed in, saying: "Yes! Ye Chen, my father is the lord of this Tianlan City, he's personally inviting you to stay, you won't refuse, will you?"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed tightly and he shook his head slightly, saying directly without hesitation: "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the City Lord, but this time I've come back solely because I miss my home, I hope the City Lord can understand my homesickness!"

  Ye Chen is no fool, he understands that a paper bag can't hide fire. If he really stayed behind and let the Lan family find out that this 'health tonic' was made by him, there might be some trouble.

  "Is that so!" Lan Jia's eyebrows furrowed, and he immediately turned to face Lan Qianqian, saying: "Qianqian, since it's like this, then don't force him anymore!"

  Lan Qianqian listened to Lan Jia's words and slightly lowered her head without speaking.

  Lan Jia nodded helplessly and said to Ye Chen, "Alright, you wait here for a moment! I'll have someone send the things over right away!" Then he turned to Lan Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, take good care of our guest!"

  Lan Jia Zhu nodded at Lao Li and turned around to walk outside.

  Ye Chen and Liu Yuer watched Lan Jia Zhu leave, then let out a breath at the same time, and smiled slightly at Lan Qianqian.

  Lan Jia stepped out of Ye Chen's room with a thoughtful expression, and upon returning to the Tian Zi No. 1 room, he asked Li Lao: "You said this so-called 'Nourishing Liquid' was made by him?"

  No, Lan Jia Zhu had been in doubt since he knew the effect of 'body nourishing liquid', whether it was refined by Ye Chen or not. He even thought that if it was refined by Ye Chen, he would use all means to keep him, after all, the effect of body nourishing liquid was too surprising.

  Li Lao bowed slightly towards Lan's family and said, "It shouldn't be him. That 'Nourishing Liquid' is absolutely not something a youth of eighteen or nineteen years old could concoct, whether in terms of medicinal effect or refinement technique!"

  When she heard this, Lan's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said, "But I don't believe he discovered it unintentionally. After all, just by looking at the jade vases, you can tell that they're all new!"

  Li Lao nodded in agreement, saying: "I also saw that, so I didn't take action to capture him earlier! The woman standing next to him just now has a cultivation level of Yuan Dan boundary, and he calls her Shifu Jie, I reckon this spiritual liquid must have been refined by their master!"

  Lan Jia nodded in agreement and immediately stopped talking, turning his head to look inside the auction hall.

  Ye Chen and the others didn't have to wait long in the room before a maid walked in carrying a tray, placed it on the table, bowed respectfully to everyone, and slowly left.

  Ye Chen looked at the "Snake Scale Fruit" on the table and his face suddenly showed an excited expression, he hastily went forward and picked it up.

  Ye Chen had not carefully observed the snake scale fruit earlier because it was too far away, but now he began to observe it carefully.

  The snake scale fruit is about the size of an adult's fist, with scales covering its surface and a small snake pattern printed on top.

  "That's right!" Ye Chen thought to himself, the fruit in front of him was exactly the same as the Snake Scale Fruit in his mind!

  Liu Yuer looked at Ye Chen and said softly: "Since we've already got it, let's go now!"

  Lan Qianqian heard Liu Yuer propose to leave, and hastily said to Ye Chen: "Wait a minute! The last thing to be auctioned must be something good. My father usually doesn't come here, this time he came, it must be something good!"

  Ye Chen was in a good mood at this time because he had obtained the 'Snake Scale Fruit'. After listening to Lan Qianqian's words, he thought for a moment and felt that it didn't matter. He then said to Liu Yuer: "Liu Shijie, let's just wait for a while! Anyway, it will be over soon!"

  Liu Yuer listened to Ye Chen's words, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, somewhat dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything.

  At this time, the auction in the field continued, and the second item was still a book of kung fu, but for Ye Chen, it had no attraction at all. In the end, it was bought by a user from room Tianzi No. 3 for 20 million.

  The old man on the auction stage looked at the last item being sold, and suddenly a serious expression appeared on his face. He then said to the crowd: "This last thing is a message, as for this message, we are not very clear either, only knowing that it is about something, but it is not convenient to reveal here. Now please ask all the people in the hall to leave, and the last message will be sold only to those in the VIP room!"

  As soon as the old man's words fell, the people in the field all let out a dissatisfied cry.

  "What's going on?! Why can't we participate?!"

  "Isn't this looking down on people?"

  "Alright, let's go! What can you do? You can't afford to offend that person here!"

  "Yes! I guess even if we stayed behind, it wouldn't be of any use!"

  Although everyone was grumbling and dissatisfied, in the end they all quietly left towards the outside. After all, no one dared to be reckless here anymore.

  A moment later, all the people in the auction room had left, leaving only the old man who hosted the auction standing alone on the auction stage.

  The old man glanced around the VIP room and said, "Everyone here is waiting for the last item to be auctioned off, right? As for what the last item is about, I don't think I need to say it, everyone should already know!"

  Upon hearing this, all the rooms around were silent, with no response, just quietly waiting.

  Lan Jia Zhu in Room Tian Zi No. 1 suddenly opened his eyes, with an excited face looking towards the auction stage, muttering: "Finally waited for it!"

  The old man standing beside Lan Jia Zhu said softly: "Yes!"
