The First Saint of Dan Dao

In the center of Yuncheng is the City Lord's Mansion. The four major families are distributed in the four directions of east, south, west and north.

With the current status of Miao Dan Fang, it is capable of being in the center of 99% of the cities in Tingxiang Country. However, such a large organization chooses a place that is only slightly closer to the city center than the major families, and this is true in Yuncheng and other places.

It is precisely because of this humility and non-competitiveness that Miaodanfang is well cared for by the city lord's mansion in each city.

About a quarter of an hour later, Tang Yan arrived at the door of Miaodanfang.

Miaodanfang covers a large area, and the front hall is responsible for selling some low-grade pills and various medicinal materials.

When I walked into the store, there weren't many goods on the shelves.

"Sir, what do you need?" Seeing someone coming in, the shop assistant immediately greeted him with a smile.

Tang Yan opened his folding fan and asked with a smile, "Do you have any pills that can increase your true energy?"

"In our Miaodanfang, there are two main types of elixirs for increasing true Qi: Foundation Building Pills and Yuan Ti Yuan Pills," the shop assistant introduced immediately.

Tang Yan knew about these two kinds of elixirs, both of which were first-grade elixirs. Among them, the foundation-building elixir was a low-grade elixir, mainly used by Yuan-level warriors. The Yuan-boosting elixir was slightly higher in grade and suitable for Huang-level and below warriors.

Although both types of elixirs are more suitable for me, the purpose of my trip is not to buy medicine. Now I am short of money, and I can only buy half a bottle of foundation-building elixir at most.

"Do you have any second-grade elixirs?" Tang Yan closed his folding fan, patted his chest and said, "I have plenty of money!"

The shop assistant's mouth twitched when he heard this. Isn't this guy looking for a rip-off? However, the second-grade elixir is indeed not something that can be sold openly. The shop assistant said with difficulty: "Sir, we don't have this."

Tang Yan's eyes widened, and he smashed his fan on the counter, shouting, "What! With such a big signboard in Miao Dan Fang, the Qi-increasing elixir they sell is only of the middle-grade first rank?"

This voice was shouted by Young Master Tang at the top of his lungs, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Fortunately, this Miaodanfang was not an ordinary place, so there were not many customers in the store.

"Sir, second-grade elixirs can only be refined by second-grade alchemists. The output is small and only supplied to major families. They will not be sold on the counter at will. Seeing your extraordinary appearance, you must be the scion of a wealthy family and should know the rules of our store." The shop assistant explained patiently.

"Since the pills have to be sold eventually, and I have plenty of money, why don't you just sell some to me?" Young Master Tang said carelessly.

The shop assistant was a little anxious at the moment. Although Miaodanfang was powerful, he didn't want to cause disputes easily. Seeing that the young man was dressed handsomely, he must be the son of a big family. He was just a medicine seller, so he didn't dare to offend him easily.

During this period of hesitation, the shop assistant was speechless.

"My Miao Dan Fang has its own rules. Second-grade pills are rarely sold in retail. But since you are rich, and these rules are made by people, I will make an exception and sell you a bottle of Qi Ju Dan, a second-grade pill that was just produced not long ago." An old but vigorous voice came.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw an old man in a grey robe, with grey eyebrows, bright eyes, a tuft of beard, and his hands behind his back, walking out of the house.

"Master Ge!" When they saw the newcomer, all the employees in Miaodanfang bowed their heads and greeted him.

Ge Ming, the grand elder of Yuncheng Miaodanfang, is a second-rank alchemist, and his status is higher than Wu Xuan.

The Qi Gathering Pill is a second-level mid-grade pill with extremely mild medicinal properties. Even a first-level Yuan-level warrior will not have his meridians ruptured after taking this pill. Therefore, this pill is also the first choice for major families to train young and outstanding children.

However, this kind of elixir is rather complicated to refine, and even a second-level mid-grade alchemist has a high failure rate.

Frowning, Tang Yan sniffed the faint smell of burning in the air and fixed his eyes on the old man.

Tang Yan took a meaningful look at the porcelain bottle in the old man's hand, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Qi Gathering Pill? How much is it?"

"I won't go into detail about the efficacy of the medicine. There are three pills in this bottle. If they are put on auction, they can be sold for up to 100,000 taels of silver. I won't cheat you. I will sell these pills to you for 100,000 taels of silver. What do you think?" Ge Ming said loudly, but there was some disdain in his eyes when he looked at Tang Yan.

A second-generation rich man who thinks he is rich dares to shout in Miaodanfang?

Tang Yan cursed in his heart, this old bastard, the highest price at the auction is 100,000, and you only sell it to me for 100,000? On the surface, Tang Yan laughed and said calmly, "Okay, okay, I wonder if you can let me test the pill?"

"Oh? Do you think the pill I gave you is a fake?" A cold light flashed in Ge Ming's eyes.

Tang Yan waved his hands hastily and said, "Miao Dan Fang has stood on the continent for countless years and has an excellent reputation. Naturally, we will not ruin our reputation for a mere 100,000 taels of silver. However, I have never seen a Qi Gathering Pill before, so I want to identify it first, so as not to buy the wrong medicine and have a hard time explaining it when I go back."

"If you want to see it, then take a look. But if you accidentally damage the elixir, you will have to compensate for it according to the price." Ge Ming handed over the porcelain bottle, with an even stronger mockery in his eyes. How dare a kid who didn't even have any fluctuations of true energy in his body say that he could identify elixirs?

Tang Yan took the pill with a smile, gently pulled out the cork, leaving a tiny gap, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, then put the cork back in.

"Has the appraisal been completed?" Seeing Tang Yan being so casual, Ge Ming felt even more contemptuous.

"Okay." Tang Yan nodded.

To identify a pill, the first thing to do is to look at the shape of the pill, with a round surface being the best. Second, look at the color, with a uniform color being the best. Third, feel the aura of the medicine. If you are not strong enough, you will usually use some equipment. There are also some more complicated identification methods, but these are not important. This kid is just a fool, pretending to know everything and trying to be mysterious.

Even the shop assistant next to him had a mocking look on his face.

Xiao Cui lowered her head in shame. Even though she had never eaten any elixir, she had heard that identifying elixir was not something that could be done by just smelling it. However, Xiao Cui did not flee. After so many years of going out with the young master through thick and thin, she had become immune to embarrassment.

"I wonder if this Qi Gathering Pill is fake?" Ge Ming asked.

Young Master Tang groaned, tapped his palm with his fan, and said after a while: "This elixir is indeed real, but the price is still to be discussed."

"Oh? How much silver do you think is appropriate?" Ge Ming was already prepared to sell the medicine.

"Three thousand taels of silver, will you sell it?"
