Xia Moli smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome." He couldn't stand these vendors shouting out random prices. Although his father had scolded him several times for meddling in other people's business, whenever he saw someone being ripped off, he couldn't help but want to step forward to help.
"These herbs cost one magic stone. Do you want any?" The stall owner glanced at Xia Moli cautiously. Seeing that he didn't make any more trouble, he finally felt relieved. What bad luck! How could I have run into this cunning butler?
Tian Fengxun took out a magic stone and handed it to the stall owner, then divided the herbs into two parts, giving half to him and Su Jinyue.
Xia Moli looked at the stall owner and said sternly, "If I see you overcharging customers again, you won't be allowed to set up a stall here. Got it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I won't do that again." The stall owner nodded repeatedly. How could he dare to go against Xia Moli?
Xia Moli nodded in satisfaction and smiled at Su Jinyue and the other two, "I'll be leaving first."
"Young Master Xia, take care!" Su Jinyue and the other two smiled and bowed to Xia Moli.
Xia Moli nodded and walked towards the restaurant in front. He had made an appointment with his friends to meet at the restaurant, and if he didn't go now, he would be late. Those two friends had come all the way to see him.
"Let's continue to look at other herbs." Su Jinyue pulled Zhan Yihan forward.
Tian Fengxun smiled and shook his head, then followed Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue.
The three of them walked around the market and bought a lot of herbs at very fair prices. The stall owners had heard that Xia Moli was at the market, so they didn't dare to shout out prices anymore.
"Let's go to the restaurant up ahead and have something to eat," Tian Fengxun suggested, pointing to a restaurant not far away. Restaurants were where most information was gathered, and he also wanted to find out if there were any other places besides Dark Soul Corner where the Cold Spirit Ghost Flower could be found.
"Okay." Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan nodded in agreement.
The three of them walked into the restaurant and went to the second floor under the guidance of the waiter. As soon as they stepped onto the second floor, they saw Xia Moli, who was drinking and chatting with two young men.
Noticing someone was looking at him, Xia Moli turned around and saw Su Jinyue and the other two, and smiled at them.
Su Jinyue and the other two nodded and smiled back.
"Please sit here, gentlemen." The waiter saw Su Jinyue and the other two greeting Xia Moli, and guessed that they must know each other, so he arranged the three of them at a table next to Xia Moli and the other two.
After ordering a few side dishes, Su Jinyue and the other two began to eat.
"I heard that there are many good things being auctioned at the auction held in Demon Sea City this time. Young Master Xia, has your Xia family received the invitation jade token for the auction?" The man in white was waving a folding fan, drinking wine, and looking at Xia Moli leisurely.
He had come to Mo'e City to find Xia Moli because he wanted to participate in the auction held by Mohai City. His family was just a small and unknown family, so naturally they were not qualified to participate in an auction of that level. Now he could only pin his hopes on Xia Moli.
Xia Moli nodded, took a sip of wine and said, "Our Xia family has obtained three jade tokens this time. Each jade token can bring two people with it, but my father has already arranged the people who will go." Of course he knew what the other party meant, but he was powerless to do anything.
"Is that so?" The man in white nodded somewhat disappointedly. It seemed like his trip was in vain.
"Young Master Xia, your father loves you so much, he'll definitely agree to your request for two spots. Given our relationship, please do us a favor," said another young man in a blue robe. He had come to see Xia Moli for the auction. Even if one didn't buy anything at an auction of that level, it was still a very prestigious event.
"I've asked my dad before. I have a friend who also wants to go with me, but you know my dad. It's hard to change his decision." Xia Moli picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, saying distressedly.
The man in white and the young man in blue robe looked at each other, stood up and said, "Young Master Xia, we still have some things to do, so we'll take our leave first. We'll come to you for a drink next time we pass by Mo'e City." Since there was no hope, they didn't want to waste time here, so they might as well go back and think of another way.
Xia Moli nodded, stood up and bowed to the two of them, "Have a nice day, both of you!"
"Goodbye!" the two said, then turned and walked downstairs.
Retracting his gaze, Xia Moli shook his head, sat back in his chair, picked up the wine jug on the table, poured himself another glass, tilted his head back and drank it all. He treated them as friends, but they treated him as a fool. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
"Young Master Xia, if you don't mind, could you please come over and chat with us?" Tian Fengxun said.
Xia Moli turned to look at Tian Fengxun and the other two, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked over to Su Jinyue and the other two and sat down. He hoped they weren't here for the auction, otherwise he would leave without mercy.
"I just heard you guys talking about the auction. I'd like to ask, are the Frost Spirit Ghost Flowers for sale this time?" Tian Fengxun asked. If he could obtain the Frost Spirit Ghost Flower, he could go back and save City Lord Bei. He had participated in many auctions during his time on the Tianyue Continent and was very familiar with the various aspects of auctions.
Xia Moli frowned and said with some displeasure, "I don't know." The other party actually called him over for a purpose.
"Master Xia, please don't misunderstand me. I'm asking you because a friend of mine has inhaled demonic energy and needs the Frost Spirit Flower to heal him. Master Xia, do you know where I can find the Frost Spirit Flower?" Tian Fengxun knew Xia Moli was upset, but he had to ask for clarification. Demonic energy and demonic spiritual energy are two different concepts. Demonic energy is formed from the soul, and once inhaled, it transforms into a puppet. The demonic spiritual energy in the magic stone is different; it is also a form of spiritual energy and is beneficial to cultivation.
"Really?" Xia Moli looked at Tian Fengxun suspiciously, and when he saw his calm look, he believed it a little more.
Tian Fengxun smiled and nodded. "I just want to know the whereabouts of the Frost Spirit Ghost Flower, nothing else." If the auction really had the Frost Spirit Ghost Flower, he would definitely find a way to get in. He was very clear about the quota allocation for such auctions. In addition to being allocated to sects and some families, some quotas would also flow into the black market, and anyone who could afford the price could get one.
Xia Moli smiled and said, "There is a Cold Spirit Ghost Flower for sale at this auction, but I can't take you in. But there is a way for you to get a spot in the auction." He had read the auction brochure and had some understanding of the items to be auctioned at this auction.
"What method?" Tian Feng asked. If there was a more suitable method, he would naturally choose it.
