It was just as Chen Xing said. Since she had stepped into the alchemy world, she had been following the same pattern. Shen Mian had tasted the fun of alchemy. She had tried all the first-level elixirs that she could buy. Even without Chen Xing's guidance, she could quickly grasp the key points and began to make second-level elixirs.

The days passed uneventfully. Shen Mian successfully reached the sixth level of spiritual warrior in this state of eating, drinking, sleeping, practicing and refining pills, and he also refined second-level pills.

"I can't stand it anymore. I'm almost suffocated following you. When are you going to go out for a walk?" Mu Yan said irritably as he looked at Shen Mian who had started to make the elixir again.

"Wait until I run out of herbs." Shen Mian retorted while refining the elixir.

"Every day, apart from practicing, you'll be refining pills. If you keep going like this, you'll become stupid sooner or later!"

Shen Mian ignored him and continued to make the elixir.

Mu Yan was still chattering on and on, and Shen Mian felt helpless. Why was this kid talking more and more?

"That's about it. Can't all those crystal cores shut you up?"

Mu Yan curled his lips: "I have already absorbed it."

"So fast?" Shen Mian looked at him in shock. Those were a full three thousand crystal cores!

"They are all crystal cores of low-level magical beasts. They are not even enough to fill my teeth." Mu Yan said disdainfully.

Shen Mian silently patted his heart. If he continued like this, he might really be bankrupted by Mu Yan.

It seems that the only thing we can do is to rob the rich and give to the poor!

That night, the little thief who scared the Shen family came back!

But the little thief felt that he couldn't just grab one wool, so he patronized the other three major families by the way. Little money, here she comes!

A certain unscrupulous thief treated the patrol teams of several major families as nothing and did not let a single sheep go.

For example, all the herbs that a certain young lady of the Ren family used to make elixirs disappeared without a trace, not even a leaf was left.

For example, a whole set of agate jewelry made by a lady of the Chen family disappeared out of thin air, with only a mung bean-sized pearl falling off.

For example, the scabbard inlaid with crystal core gemstone and white jade that was hung on the wall by a young master of the Luo family also disappeared, and several crystal cores on the knife were also picked off.

The three great families discovered that their belongings had been stolen the next morning. They were furious, but they all tacitly agreed not to publicize the matter. Instead, they secretly tried to find this daring thief.

……

When Shen Mian appeared at the Wanxiang Auction House again, she was in a good mood. After witnessing her series of plundering, Mu Yan sighed in his heart: Women are so scary!

This time it was Song Xun who received her again. After seeing her take out so many treasures again, although he was surprised, he was not as shocked as last time. He just smiled and asked someone to count them, and the look he gave to Shen Mian became more and more amiable.

"Actually, this time I came here, in addition to those treasures, I also have some elixirs to auction."

Song Xun asked with a smile, "I wonder what kind of elixir it is?"

"The level is a bit low, they are all first- and second-level elixirs, Manager Song, please take a look yourself."

Shen Mian waved his hand, and hundreds of white jade pill bottles suddenly appeared on the table.

"So many?" Song Xun was surprised. "Wait a moment, little brother Mu. I'm not familiar with elixirs. I'll ask Master Fan from our auction to come and appraise them."

Shen Mian said: "Of course there is no problem."

Master Fan came over quickly. He was a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face. "What are these?"

"Yes, Master Fan, please take a look."

"It's my job, it's my duty." Master Fan did not seem to be as arrogant as other alchemists, which reminded Shen Mian of Qu Xingbai, and he couldn't help but have a better impression of him.

Master Fan opened a bottle and sniffed it gently, then suddenly froze: "What is this?"

As if to confirm something, he closed his eyes and smelled it carefully, then opened his eyes wide in disbelief and checked the remaining small jade bottles one by one. "Unbelievable, really incredible."

Song Xun was frightened by his appearance: "Master Fan, is there any problem?"

"Problem? It's a big problem!" Master Fan shouted.

Song Xun subconsciously looked at Shen Mian nervously. He had never seen Master Fan lose his composure like this before. What was wrong with this pill? It was just some first- and second-level pills?

Shen Mian was very calm. She knew the elixir she made herself and nothing would go wrong.

"Almost every pill is of top-grade quality. I have never seen pills of such pure quality. Little brother, where do these pills come from?" Master Fan said excitedly.

Song Xun then understood the reason for his excitement, coughed twice, and reminded him: "Master Fan."

Master Fan realized that the question he asked involved the privacy of the guest, and said apologetically: "Sorry, little brother, I'm just too excited. I have never encountered such a high-quality elixir. Although it is only a first-grade elixir, its medicinal properties are twice as good as ordinary first-grade elixirs...ah, this is the charm of the best elixir..."

"Manager Song," Master Fan excitedly shook Song Xun's hand, "The base price of this little brother's elixir must be at least 40% higher than other first-level elixirs!"

Song Xun: "...Master Fan, calm down. I understand. Don't worry."

"Master Fan, there are still many pills that have not been tested." Shen Mian said.

So the room was filled with Master Fan's praises. Shen Mian felt a little ashamed when she heard it. She was really just an ordinary novice alchemist and did not deserve such praise!

"Brother Mu, if you have any more pills to sell in the future, please give priority to our Wanxiang Auction House." Before leaving, Master Fan said to Shen Mian in a serious tone, "If the master behind you is willing to discuss alchemy with me, you are welcome to come here to find me at any time. Remember this."

"Master Fan, don't worry, I will definitely tell my master about this."

Master Fan then left with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

Song Xun wiped his non-existent sweat and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Mu, Master Fan is usually... not like this. I will estimate the value of these pills for you right now, and you can still come back in seven days to collect the remaining reward."

Before leaving, Song Xun handed Shen Mian a token with Wanxiang Auction House engraved on it: "This is a unique token for our Wanxiang Auction House's guests. From now on, Brother Mu will be a senior guest of our auction house."

Shen Mian held the token, feeling as if he had taken out a VIP card: "Thank you, Manager Song. I'll come back later."

……

Song Xun returned to the Wanxiang Auction House and met Master Fan: "Are those pills really that powerful? They are just first-level pills."

"First-grade elixir? You, a layman, know nothing! The fact that the alchemist can make a top-grade elixir shows that his control over the elixir has reached an extremely terrifying level. It's not terrible that the medicinal properties of a first-grade elixir are doubled, but what about the seventh-grade, the eighth-grade? What about the mysterious-grade? Even if the alchemist is only a junior alchemist, his potential is absolutely immeasurable! We must have a good relationship with such a person!" Master Fan looked at Song Xun angrily, as if he had said something unforgivable.

Song Xun was caught off guard and Master Fan spit on his face: "So this is why you raised my base price by several percent with just one sentence?"

"You ignorant boy, how can we win over such a talent if we don't give him enough sincerity? When did you become so short-sighted?" Master Fan looked disappointed.

Song Xun naturally knew this truth, "Okay, okay, I got it, I'll report it to the young master right away."

"Right, right, right," Master Fan hurriedly pushed him away, "Go, go, such a talent must not be missed!"
