“Miss, this amount is enough to exchange for 30 pieces of flatbread. I’ll make you 30 then!” Old Han was also an honest person, telling this to Qiao Mu with a beaming smile.
Yet Qiao Mu shook her head. “Twenty is fine. You can keep the rest and eat them gradually.”
Old Han quickly thanked her repeatedly, and he put his heart into making 20 pieces of piping hot flatbread. He carefully wrapped them up in oilpaper before handing the bundle to the little lady.
“Thank you.” Qiao Mu directly put it into her inner world after receiving it, and she gave a nod before turning to walk towards the carriage.
Upon lifting the curtain, she couldn’t resist twitching the corner of her mouth.
She saw two men presently sitting face to face, each holding a teacup with both hands. Their fingers were slender, and their eyes were slightly lowered. A tranquil pretty boy picture unfolded before her eyes.
The two people were savoring their tea as the steam rose before them, painting an image of handsome and refined men. It almost didn’t seem as if they had just engaged in a vicious fight.
The little fellow sighed as she climbed into the carriage and sat resignedly on the very inside. “Not fighting anymore?”
“We were only comparing notes.” Mo Lian said indifferently.
“Mhm, in the two years that you had disappeared, we would also often compare notes.”
Qiao Mu: “…”
Alright, the world of men really was quite difficult to understand.
“Qiaoqiao, tonight will be the last day of Wurun Pill House’s auction. It will continue to auction off that rarely seen Nine Stars Mirroring the Moon Cauldron. How about us two also going over for a look?” Duan Yue said with a grin.
“No need to trouble you. Nine Stars Mirroring the Moon whatever, I can buy for Qiaoqiao.” Mo Lian harrumphed.
Duan Yue simply cast him a glance before flaunting in schadenfreude, “You’re so uncultured! Ah? You think you can freely purchase this toy? The seller said that you can only use a level-11 mystic breakthrough pill and a blood stasis dispersing pill to exchange for the cauldron. In addition, they must be high-grade pills that bear an innate purple pill vein, understand?”
Qiao Mu didn’t pay attention to Duan Yue’s smug tone of voice and instead asked in astonishment, “Shouldn’t Wurun Pill House’s auction have concluded two days ago?”
“It’s because of the appearance of this Nine Stars Mirroring the Moon Cauldron!” Duan Yue clicked his tongue in wonder. “This cauldron attracted all the pill alchemists from the nearby cities and towns. All the pill alchemists really want to obtain this medicinal cauldron, but it’s a pity for them that the seller designated specific exchange requirements. Reportedly, this matter even alerted the Pill Union, which was why the auction was extended for two to three more days, just for the President of the Pill Union to come buy it.”
Qiao Mu blinked. “Is the Nine Stars Mirroring the Moon Cauldron really that great? To have even attracted the Pill Union?”
“Absolutely! It is said that it’s a treasured cauldron that pill alchemists yearn for even in their dreams.”
“Just one level-11 mystic breakthrough pill and one blood stasis dispersing pill, each bearing purple pill veins, is sufficient to exchange for that whatever cauldron?” Qiao Mu’s eyes shined brightly as she asked.
“Right, that’s what the seller said. This piece of news has already spread far and wide throughout the streets and alleys.” Duan Yue asked with a grin, “What about it? Let’s go take a look together tonight?”
Qiao Mu nodded. “I’ll go exchange with him.”
Duan Yue praised with a smile, “Qiaoqiao’s pill refining standard is already this superb!”
“It’s alright.” Qiao Mu nodded. “Refining pills with purple pill veins should be no problem.”
It’s only that it took a rather long time to refine the pills because she lacked a handy medicinal cauldron, which irked her a bit.
“Can you make them in time? Tonight is the last day.” Duan Yue asked offhandedly as he took up his teacup, drinking a mouthful of tea unhurriedly.
“Yeah, I should be able to finish in a little over two hours. It’s only that it wastes too much time, so it’s quite annoying.” Subsequently, Duan Yue nearly choked to death on his tea upon seeing the little fellow’s listless expression.
