Chapter 10 Magical Grass Jelly
Gu Bai watched her pouting her little mouth, sitting wilfully on the edge of the bed, her back to him, and weeping as she fastened her belt.
The anger in his heart was extinguished instantly, and an inexplicable idea emerged in his mind.
"Okay, come here and give you a treasure." Gu Bai tapped the round back of her head.
Hearing the word "treasure", Hua Yinger excitedly approached him and tugged on his robe, "Sir, what treasure do you want to give me?"
"Treasure?" Hua Ying'er's eyes flashed with excitement.
Gu Bai saw her rosy little face and smiled so much that the corners of his mouth almost reached the sky. She was so cute, "Well, it's just for you."
As soon as he squeezed it with his palm, Hua Ying'er suddenly felt that there was something as light as gauze on her face.
She happily ran to the lotus mirror and took a look, thinking she had obtained some unique magic weapon.
"Ah! It's so ugly! Why did my face become like this?" There are two more birthmarks on my pretty little face, but they are both in the shape of peach blossoms~
"Gu Bai, you are so naughty..." Hua Ying'er was like a thunderbolt. No matter how much she rubbed, she couldn't get rid of the birthmark on her right cheek.
The red birthmark is similar to the red spots she developed after returning from the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
Could it be that the handsome man I met in the pool was not a dream, but the Emperor?
When she turned around to question him, she found that Gu Bai had already left.
"It's hard to guard against demons outside. Your cultivation is still shallow, so it won't be easy for you to attract people's attention. You don't need to thank me."
A magnetic voice came into Hua Ying'er's spiritual consciousness. She wanted to grasp the deity, but the road was tortuous and she still needed to work hard.
Such an ugly mask, thank you very much.
That night must have been a dream. Emperor Zun was so cold and unpredictable, unlike the gentle man in the dream.
Hua Ying'er had no choice but to accept this generous gift. She packed up and changed into more simple clothes and walked downstairs.
Zijin Pavilion, the first floor in the city.
There was a huge crowd in front and it was very lively.
There were so many people and so many people, Hua Ying'er didn't want to join in the fun anymore, so she paused at the door of the hall and wanted to leave.
Suddenly a clear teenage voice came from behind her.
"Sir, we have some new elixirs today. You are welcome to come and have a look." A young man saw Hua Ying'er slowly coming down the stairs and mustered up the courage to come up to her.
The young man, at most thirteen or fourteen years old, is dark and thin, with a pair of phoenix eyes and unusually blue pupils.
This little boy is different!
Hua Ying'er blinked her big bright eyes and asked: "Elixir? What kind of elixirs are there?"
Does this Zijin Pavilion also sell elixirs?
The thin, dark boy was the receptionist in the Zijin Pavilion. Countless dignitaries came and went from the Zijin Pavilion, and he also visited countless people.
This was the first time I saw such a special-looking woman. There were actually two tender pink peach blossom marks on her right cheek.
The princess Jiang Yuyan who came in just now is already a stunning beauty. The woman in front of her who is playing with peach blossoms in her palms. Although there are marks on her face, her noble temperament is even better than the previous one. She is stunning at first sight.
"Sir, I'm here to invite you! Zijin Pavilion has the most complete collection of elixirs in the world. There are only things you can't think of, and there's nothing you can't buy."
There were several receptionists at the door just now shouting.
At this moment, except for the thin black boy who did not receive any guests, other receptionists received the guests and walked into the inner hall.
Zijin Pavilion is not only a restaurant, but also a place for elixir trading.
It's a mixed bag here, and there are all kinds of people.
From immortals in the fairy world, to royal aristocrats, to monks in the demon world, and even monsters who have turned into human beings, all came to participate in the elixir auction held today.
Seeing Hua Ying'er's delay in responding, the young man naturally understood, turned around and left with his shoulders slumped, feeling disappointed.
The boy has failed dozens of times.
She would definitely choose a receptionist who was older, better looking, and better spoken than him, just like everyone else.
If he doesn't close another deal today, Elder Ouyang will definitely kick him out.
Hua Ying'er looked inside for a while, then looked back and saw the young man's lost back.
Hua Ying'er walked forward with a smile and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Okay, then I'll go in and take a look."
The thin, dark boy looked back at Hua Ying'er, his eyes flashing white. He couldn't believe that someone actually chose him!
"What did you say? Do you need me to serve you?" He clenched his hands nervously and tried his best to speak a complete sentence.
Just when he was ready to give up, suddenly, a green light came on.
"Yes!" Hua Ying'er quickly walked up to him and affirmed again with a bright smile, "Can I choose you as my receptionist?"
She smiles sweetly, and the two marks on her face do not affect her appearance at all, but add a neutral and free and easy temperament.
The boy blushed shyly and lowered his head, looking a little at a loss.
"Hello, guest officer, I am the host of Zijin Pavilion, Aze. Next, Aze will accompany you to visit the annual elixir new auction."
The young man said the words he had memorized by heart.
"Let's go." Hua Ying'er smiled and nodded to him, then took out ten taels of silver from the storage space and handed it to him.
Emperor Zun, you can handle it! I really saved a lot of money in the storage bracelet.
The dark and thin Aze hesitated for a moment, his eyes wide open, and it wasn't until Hua Ying'er said "take it" again that he dared to put the money in his bag.
From then on, the look in his eyes towards Hua Ying'er became more sincere.
Although the decoration here is not as solemn and noble as the Immortal Pavilion, it is still one of the best in the world. The two pillars carved from rosewood in the middle are like two lifelike flying dragons.
There is a large fan-shaped wooden table in the middle of the pillars. There are small wooden boxes on the wooden table, and inside are the new elixirs released today.
Hua Ying'er glanced at a wooden box placed in the middle of the auction table, with the words: Crimson Pearl Grass on it.
Indigo plant has mild medicinal properties and is known as fairy grass. It grows in extremely cold places and it only takes a hundred years for a tree to grow. It is one of the main medicines of the Soul-Reviving Pill.
The bidding price is: 500,000 taels of gold plus an invitation letter from Kunlun Mountain Fairy Pavilion.
Even if it costs ten thousand taels of gold, it still can’t be bought without an invitation letter from Xiangeyuan!
The thin black boy who was following her noticed that she had stopped and said, "Sir, this is the new best product at this week's spiritual elixir meeting. More than half of the guests present are here for the Purple Pearl Grass. You
Is it also for the indigo plant?"
"Yeah, let's take a look inside again." Hua Ying'er nodded and continued walking inside.
When he reached the wooden box farthest from the Feilong Pillar, Aze suddenly stopped.
He cupped his hand and whispered in Hua Ying'er's ear: "My lord, this is a southern swallow's grass, produced in the South China Sea. Its medicinal properties are slightly lower than those of the purple grass, but the price is only five hundred taels, which is very cost-effective!"
When Hua Ying'er heard this, she raised her thin eyebrows. This Aze is really good.
"Aze, you go ahead and do your work first. I'll take a walk around by myself. Don't worry, I'll come to you later if you want to buy elixirs." Hua Ying'er said.
As he turned to leave, he turned back and bowed to thank Hua Ying'er again, "You cannot fight over the Zijin Pavilion. If you use magic to hurt others, you will be blacklisted by the Zijin Pavilion and will never be allowed to enter."
At Zijin Pavilion's previous auctions, many guests fought for the elixir and were eventually driven out of Kyoto City.
