Chapter 230: Encounter

Qu Tong twitched her lips, making it seem as if she had come here specifically to purify the water plants for him.

Qu Tong didn't go over. He found a stool and sat down. He said casually, "Isn't it good to change the way we look at it every week? Our chief appraiser doesn't need the money."

"My money didn't come from the wind. I have to save it for living expenses." Old man Yuan glared at Qu Tong unhappily.

Although the heartless boy never asked him for money, he might come to him for a settlement someday.

He usually researches medicine, but he has to buy all the herbs himself. He also has to buy energy stones for the machine, test tubes for the medicine, and seasonings for cooking...

Old Man Yuan briefly explained the progress during this period, and couldn't wait to take her to the laboratory to test the medicine.

Qu Tong just learned that Yu Yao is also a pharmacist, but she is not yet able to prepare advanced mental stabilizing potions. However, Old Man Yuan has taught her a lot about other potions.

Because the treatment process could not be known to others, Yu Yao was sent to the outer room again.

Old Man Yuan excitedly took out the potion that Yu Yao had prepared earlier, and said solemnly, "This potion is a little stronger than the previous one. Thank you for your hard work, my disciple."

Old man Yuan drank the potion in one gulp and completely put his safety in the hands of Qu Tong.

Qu Tong input his supernatural powers as before.

Half an hour passed, and Old Man Yuan could no longer bear it, so he activated the mechanism on the bed to restrain himself. Qu Tong's supernatural power input was also gradually increasing.

Another half an hour passed before Qu Tong withdrew his hand and looked at the exhausted old man Yuan with a sneer.

"Is this what you mean by stronger?"

In the past, she could not even use one tenth of her mental strength, but today she used half of it at once.

Isn’t he afraid that she won’t have enough mental strength?

Once her mental input cannot keep up, Old Man Yuan will have to endure the pain caused by the drug by himself. If he cannot, all his efforts will be wasted, or even death.

You dare to gamble with such a dangerous dose?

He is a ruthless person.

Old man Yuan smiled as if he had survived a disaster and said stubbornly:

"Don't we have you, girl? You are my most proud disciple."

Old man Yuan might be really tired. He waved his hand weakly and said, "Master, I need to rest for a while. If you have anything, please go to Assistant Yu. I have explained everything."

After he finished speaking, his eyes drooped and he fell asleep in seconds.

Qu Tong got up helplessly, locked the door, and went out.

Yu Yao greeted her respectfully.

There seemed to be some other meaning behind this respect.

Qu Tong stopped in front of Yu Yao and asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Yu Yao was stunned for a moment, then she touched her face and laughed dryly: "Is it obvious?"

Qu Tong smiled faintly: "No, I guessed."

Yu Yao smiled generously and invited, "I'll make an exception and take you to see the exhibits. Can we talk while we walk?"

Qu Tong nodded and followed Yu Yao out the door: "Is this my benefit or the benefit of Master Yuan's apprentice?"

“Both.”

Yu Yao tried to find a topic to talk about: "I haven't seen you for half a year. Miss Junli has changed a lot and is much prettier."

Qu Tong was not surprised by the praise or criticism: "Thank you very much."

She is not very good at giving compliments, so she saves the trouble.

What Yu Yao said was also true. Miss Jun Li today had long since transformed into a cold and beautiful lady with an ethereal appearance. She could no longer call her by the same name as before.

"What a coincidence. I was wondering if I could ask you or the pharmacist behind you to help Master Yuan with his treatment."

"I never thought you would become Master Yuan's apprentice."

"Although I am only Master Yuan's assistant, in my heart, Master Yuan has long been equivalent to my master."

"Anyway, thank you, Miss Kimiri."

Yu Yao was still dressed like a mature and sexy career lady, and her words made people feel approachable for no reason.

Most of the time, Yu Yao was talking and Qu Tong was listening.

Yu Yao would not let the atmosphere become dull, and would always say something light-hearted that would interest Qu Tong.

After walking through a long corridor and opening several heavy doors that required identification, Yu Yao brought Qu Tong to the auction item display area.

"Here are most of the items for auction. Some of them are so valuable that I don't have the authority to show you, but I can tell you about them."

"This time, there is a remote star for sale. It is located in the eastern part of the Canaan Empire. The starting price is 1 billion star coins. The taxes for the next 9 and a half years have been paid. However, it is said that there is a small mineral vein inside, but it should have been mined almost completely. The estimated bidding price will not exceed 1.2 billion."

Yu Yao introduced things to Qu Tong very professionally, and Qu Tong also asked a few questions when he was interested.

Knowing that Qu Tong was concerned about the empty crystal, Yu Yao took Qu Tong to see it:

"There are five pieces of empty crystals this time, but only one is on display. The other four are put away. This time is similar to the last time, with your potion as the finale, so the price will be higher than usual. This piece is estimated to cost between five and six million."

After viewing the exhibits of interest, Qu Tong handed three potions to Yu Yao to identify and take photos.

Yu Yao was still very excited when she got the potion again.

However, she still handed over the important task of identifying the medicine to the auction director Shen Jie, and she was responsible for a more important task - accompanying Qu Tong.

Qu Tong asked casually, "I heard from Master that the Queen is also paying attention to the special potion. Is she here?"

"I'm not very clear about this. I'm not responsible for welcoming guests, and we can't disclose customer information. Sorry." Yu Yao said very professionally.

Qu Tong wasn't too surprised.

However, Yu Yao still sold her a good deal. Yu Yao told her that all the orthodox royal family members were high-level VIPs of the auction, and she was also a high-level VIP, which meant that the queen had a special room on the fourth floor just like her.

After chatting with Yu Yao for a while, he put on the mask and went outside.

There are many entertainment facilities around the auction, the most popular of which is the fighting arena. Qu Tong decided to go and take a look.

Today is Saturday, and Qu Tong needs to pay attention to her prince as usual to avoid any clues being discovered.

Qu Tong put Jun Li's optical brain into the space button and put on Qu Tong's.

For convenience, she uses the same bracelet for both optical computers, which is a very common type on the market.

Open the address book and send a message to Si Yuting:

[Your Highness, are you busy with training today? Did you take the time to think about me? ]

[Today I saw someone's mental riot, it was a bit scary, Your Highness, have you felt mentally uncomfortable since the last time? ]

One is teasing, the other is testing.

As soon as I sent the message, I heard two consecutive "ding dong" prompt tones.

Qu Tong looked over reflexively and saw a man with a great figure, dressed in black casual clothes, with a silver mask on his face. His cold temperament was intimidating just by standing there.

At this moment, he raised his left hand with distinct joints and replied to the message on the computer.

The next second, his light brain lit up.

Fortunately, her computer was silent when the screen was off.
