Lan Ziye watched the auction items one after another on the big screen bored.
Chu Xixuan and Su Muhan didn't seem to have much interest in these auction items. The two of them chatted about business that Lan Ziye didn't understand. Su Muyu supported her chin with her hands and stared at Chu Xixuan with an infatuated look on her face. To her, there was no more beautiful scenery than Chu Xixuan.
Just when Lan Ziye was about to doze off due to boredom, Su Muhan suddenly asked, "Miss Lan, is this the herb you wanted earlier?"
Lan Ziye shuddered and looked at the big screen, and sure enough, he saw the herb that looked like foxtail grass.
She didn't know much about herbs. She only knew a few common herbs in the wilderness that could stop bleeding and treat internal injuries. Her second brother had found twenty or so doctors to force her to learn them, fearing that she would get injured outside and wouldn't be able to heal herself.
Those doctors talked a lot about the principles and taught a lot of medicinal herbs, but she felt that this "dogtail grass" was the most practical. It was everywhere on the barren mountains three thousand years ago. It could be crushed and applied externally to treat external injuries, and swallowed to treat internal injuries. It was an essential choice for saving lives. When she was in a good mood, she would take the initiative to help the alchemist go to the mountain to collect it, and she would collect a basketful of it at a time.
I didn't expect to see this kind of herb in this era of cement concrete and asphalt roads. It's really familiar.
On the big screen, the auctioneer was still talking non-stop about the 'dogtail grass', as if it was such a rare and precious treasure. Hearing this, Lan Ziye shook his head in his heart, thinking that there were really no treasures in this era!
"With the progress of industrialized production, the environment on the Lanxuan Continent is getting worse and worse, the spiritual energy is getting thinner and thinner, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for plants to survive, especially herbs like 'Golden Tail Grass' that require a lot of spiritual energy!" Su Muhan explained, as if he knew what Lan Ziye was thinking.
Lan Ziye turned to look at Su Muhan and said, "All herbs require a large amount of spiritual energy. If you say that, then most herbs won't be able to grow anymore? What will the alchemists use to make elixirs then?"
Su Muyu recovered from her infatuation and smiled at Lan Ziye, saying, "That's why the human race doesn't have the profession of alchemist. The alchemists of the demon race grow all the herbs they need themselves, and the cost is shockingly high!" At this point, Su Muyu glanced at Chu Xixuan again, intentionally or unintentionally. Her secret medicine was also very expensive! (???︿???)
"Start bidding!" Su Muhan reminded.
"Yeah!" Lan Ziye looked at the big screen again.
In the blink of an eye, the price of the 'Golden Tail Grass' had risen from the original reserve price of 400 yuan to 5,000 yuan. And the price was still rising.
"I didn't expect this herb to be so popular!" Lan Ziye said with an awkward smile.
"Wild herbs are almost impossible to find. Scarcity makes things valuable, so of course they're worth money! However, if you like them, feel free to take a picture. Money is not a problem!" Su Muhan said gently, "I can pay for you!"
"No need!" Chu Xixuan said suddenly.
Su Mohan was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Xixuan in confusion. Didn’t he forget Lan Ziye? Why did he look like he was jealous?
Lan Ziye smiled awkwardly and explained, "Young Master Qi just said he would give me an auction item as a meeting gift, and that whatever I won would be charged to his account."
"Then let Qi Xiaobao pay the bill!" Su Muhan said with a smile, "Qi Xiaobao, that stingy guy, is rarely generous. There's no need to save money for him!"
Lan Ziye smiled and said, "But I can't let people think I'm stupid, right? Even if this 'Golden Tail Grass' is rare, ten thousand yuan is enough!"
