Dong!
As the Su family members were shouting in panic, Ancestor Su fell off the carriage and broke two of his front teeth, causing the Su family to exclaim in shock.
Amidst the chaos, Su Qian led the children inside the house.
After dismissing all the previous servants of the Su family, Su Qian had no intention of keeping any of them. With the help of Gu Qingyou, new servants were bought and arrived on time to report to the Su family ancestor’s mansion on time.
After Su Qian and the children finished dinner, she entered the secret room to refine the Soul Cleansing Elixir.
Time flew by, the night sky dissipated, and the morning light appeared.
Now, the Qian Yao Pavilion was bustling with activity every day. Some people queued at the entrance even before dawn. Behind them were customers waiting to buy elixirs, and soon a long queue formed.
In the past few days, the first ones in line were mostly low-level people like mercenaries who needed such cheap elixirs to improve their strength. However, today was different. The first person in line was actually a hidden guard with the token of the Ninth Prince’s Residence on his waist, Dong Yan.
At that moment, the gazes of the people who were left in line with Dongyan turned curious, and they looked at him with interest.
After the incident with the Su family, everyone knew that the Ninth Prince had stood up for Su Qian. They also knew that the Ninth Prince had extraordinary strength.
But today, it seemed that the hidden guards under the Ninth Prince also needed to stand here and queue up to sell the peak first-class elixirs. The rumors were not reliable after all. The Ninth Prince was not only weak but also poor. As a prince, it was shameful for him to buy elixirs priced at 300 gold coins each.
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, the door of the Qian Yao Pavilion opened.
“Welcome, everyone. Please enter the pharmacy according to the order of the queue and make your purchases in an orderly manner.” Liu Qi walked out of the door gently and led the first person in the queue, Dong Yan, to the counter. She asked, “Dear customer, may I know how many Vitality Fortifying Elixirs you would like to purchase?”
Under the gaze of the onlookers, Dong Yan took out a silver note with a terrifyingly large amount and said, “I’ll take them all!”
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire place fell silent.
Everyone stared at Dong Yan with their eyes wide open, as if they were looking at a lunatic.
Liu Qi was also stunned. The muscles at the corner of her lips twitched uncontrollably. “Are you saying that you want to buy all the Vitality Fortifying Elixirs available today?”
“That’s not what I meant.” Dong Yan shook his head.
Liu Qi and the remaining customers who had been queuing for half a day hadn’t even had a chance to heave a sigh of relief before Dong Yan suddenly pulled out a thick stack of silver notes from his sleeve and said with a smile, “I’m not just after the Vitality Fortifying Elixirs. I want everything in this pharmacy, all the medicinal herbs, prescriptions, and elixirs. I want them all!” Whoosh!
The crowd was shocked by Dongyan’s words!
Everyone had an expression as if they had swallowed a fly. Their mouths opened wide enough to fit two eggs inside!
This was a pharmacy! A single elixir or even a single medicinal herb could be worth several thousand taels of silver!
But Dong Yan, no, it should be said that the Ninth Prince, Xiao Yan, actually wanted to buy everything in the pharmacy!
It was such a behavior that was beyond wealthy and humane!
Liu Qi was also stunned.. It was only when she saw Dong Yan’s hopeful expression waiting for her response, she spoke with a trembling voice, “Then, then I’ll give you a 20% discount?”
