Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

If others had heard Gu Qingyou’s words, they would definitely be shocked.

The only person in this world whom Gu Qingyou could respectfully address as “master” was the owner of the Feng Lin Auction House.

Who would have thought that the world-famous Feng Lin Auction House actually belonged to Su Qian?

“Why did you ask the Communication Snake to look for me?” Su Qian asked as she took out the little black snake from her embrace.

Gu Qingyou said, “I’ve specially prepared your favorite dishes for you. Master, please sit down and taste them while we talk.”

“Wow! I want to eat too!” Xiao Yin had been sleeping in Su Qian s sleeve all the time. Now he smelled the fragrance of the food and quickly leaped onto the table, excitedly demanding, “Gu Meinan, give me a drumstick. I want to eat it.”

“Look at you, you’re as fat as a little pig, yet you still clamoring to eat every day. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to walk in the future because you’re too fat?” Su Qian poked Xiao Yin and sat down opposite Gu Qingyou.

…..

“Master, haven’t you heard of that saying? You will get mad if you do not eat actively. I’m so smart, so of course 1 have to eat more!” Xiao Yin said as he took the roasted drumstick from Gu Qingyou and ate it happily.

“Master, Ancestor Su, Su Kian, came to our auction house today.” Gu Qingyou poured Su Qian a cup of peach blossom wine and continued gently, “According to Ancestor Su, they seem to have used their relationship with the Heavenly Medicine Sect to reach an agreement to refine elixirs for sale. Today, they came to buy medicinal herbs from us.”

“Does the Su family still have the money to hire people from the Heavenly Medicine Sect?” Su Qian elegantly picked up the silver chopsticks and took a bite of the delicate food, savoring it slowly.

“Of course not. The Su family is now penniless. Heavenly Medicine Sect only agreed to help because Ancestor Su’s brother is one of their elders. But they expected compensation later. Today, Ancestor Su also wanted to delay payment for our services. He said that we should provide the medicinal herbs first and they would pay us later when the refining is done, but he was rejected by me.” As Gu Qingyou spoke, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Su Qian. “This is the list of medicinal herbs they showed me and the quantity required. Please take a look, Master.”

Su Qian took it and glanced at it before she snorted lightly and said, “They’re going to refine a low-grade elixir, the Soul Cleansing Elixir.”

Su Qian was also an alchemist. With just a glance at the medicinal herbs on the list, she could determine what elixir the Su family wanted to refine. “What price did you quote them?”

“100,000 taels of gold.” Gu Qingyou replied with a light laugh.

“Qingyou, you’re really a profiteer.” Su Qian couldn’t help but laugh. “It only takes two days at most for these medicinal herbs to be sown and harvested in my herbal field. The total cost doesn’t add up to be more than 10,000 taels of gold, yet you’ve inflated the price ten times for them?”

Feng Lin Auction House had been able to develop to its current state solely due to the medicinal herbs business they had started off with.

Su Qian had a special space in her hands, which contained vast fields of medicinal herbs. They were inexhaustible and could be continuously seeded with new herbs. Moreover, the growth rate of the medicinal herbs was several times faster than that of the outside world. Therefore, even if the herbs were of high value, Feng Lin Auction House could sell them for more than ten times the cost, which was less than a tenth of the actual cost. With such huge profits, ordinary people would not dare to imagine it..
