Chapter 174 Hai Bodong: It's all gone, what's there to say!
Deep inside the Mittel auction house, the vast warehouse was filled with a rich aroma of medicine.
The space distorted slightly, and Huo Yuhao's figure instantly appeared among rows of towering medicine shelves.
At this moment, Hai Bodong's figure flew around the warehouse like a mosquito, his small hands constantly waving, accurately taking one rare medicinal herb after another into a high-grade storage ring. Clearly, he was helping Xiao Yan rob his own medicinal herbs.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao's sudden appearance, Hai Bodong was completely unaware of the unusual manner of his arrival and casually asked, "What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be shopping with Little Fairy Doctor?"
"Senior Hai Bodong," Huo Yuhao said, "I'm also refining medicine here and plan to borrow some medicinal herbs from the Mittel Auction House."
Upon hearing the sound, Hai Bodong nimbly spun in the air and landed steadily.
He crossed his little arms over his chest, waving the lollipop stick in his mouth: "What? Is Old Man Medicine itching to try it too?"
He glanced at the mountain of rare medicinal herbs piled up deep in the storeroom, a hint of smugness in his voice: "Take whatever you like! Mittel has plenty of resources!"
Huo Yuhao glanced over and was slightly surprised.
Before his eyes, there were mountains of rare medicinal materials, enough to support the refining of sixth-grade pills. In some special areas, he even caught a glimpse of several main ingredients for refining seventh-grade pills!
Its profound foundation is comparable to the medicinal herb storehouse of the Alchemy Department of Canaan Academy.
While quickly checking the required auxiliary materials in his mind, he replied, "Xian'er is preparing to try to refine a sixth-grade pill, and she is still missing some medicinal materials."
"No problem!" Before Huo Yuhao could explain the names of the required medicinal herbs, Hai Bodong waved his hand and said with great enthusiasm.
Inside the warehouse, half of each type of medicinal herb was attracted and flew into a high-grade storage ring in his hand.
"I originally planned to give it all to that kid Xiao Yan," Hai Bodong spat out the wooden stick from his mouth, "but since Little Fairy Doctor is also aiming for the sixth rank, let's split it in half."
As he spoke, he put the remaining half of the medicinal herbs into another storage ring, and then tossed the high-grade storage ring containing the herbs to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised by Hai Bodong's straightforward and generous attitude.
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then steadily caught the storage ring: "Thank you, Senior Hai Bodong!"
Huo Yuhao thanked him sincerely, thinking that he would help him refine a few spiritual artifacts the next day.
As soon as the two stepped out of the warehouse, they saw Mittel Tengshan and Yafei waiting outside.
Mittel Tengshan smiled, but a hint of barely perceptible pain was hidden in his eyes. He stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Elder Hai, what kind of medicinal herbs did you take this time? Ya Fei and I need to record the losses."
Hai Bodong took a new lollipop from his pocket, didn't even bother to unwrap it, and just popped it into his mouth. Then, nonchalantly, he waved his hand and said, "What's the point of registering? I'm taking them all!"
"What?!" Mittel Tengshan's smile froze instantly.
When he realized what was happening, his face turned deathly pale, and he turned around and rushed into the warehouse.
A few seconds later, a piercing wail came from deep within the warehouse: "My medicinal herbs—!!!"
Immediately afterward, Mittel Tengshan rushed out, his knees buckling, and he collapsed to the ground, clutching Hai Bodong's short legs. Tears and snot streamed down his face as he cried, "Elder Hai! That's—that's the Mittel family's treasured collection, the culmination of hundreds of years of hard work! You—you can't be so wasteful!"
"How disgusting! Let go of me!" Hai Bodong tried to pull his leg away in disgust, but Tengshan was holding him too tightly and he couldn't break free for a moment.
Ya Fei frowned slightly, stepped forward, and said with a hint of difficulty in her voice, "Elder Hai, there are some medicinal herbs in the storeroom that are already listed in tomorrow's auction catalog—"
"Oh? The items for tomorrow's auction?" Hai Bodong tilted his head and waved his hand dismissively. "Then we won't sell them!"
"But the auction catalog has already been sent out—" Ya Fei rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. After hesitating for a moment, she finally replied helplessly, "—Alright, Ya Fei will go and prepare a new auction catalog."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao took out an auction catalog and quickly flipped through it.
A moment later, he lightly tapped his storage ring, and several medicinal herbs emitting unique energy fluctuations were precisely taken out; they were the rare items marked on the list for tomorrow's auction.
"Miss Yafei, these are the items to be auctioned tomorrow." He handed the medicinal herbs back to Yafei.
Then, he looked at Mittel Tengshan, who was still clinging to Hai Bodong's leg and wailing, and comforted him, "Clan Chief Tengshan, there's no need to be too sad. Later, I will have some items auctioned off by Mittel Auction House. The proceeds should be enough to make up for the losses in the medicine warehouse today."
When Huo Yuhao returned to the lakeside with the medicinal herbs, Little Fairy Doctor had already emerged from the lake and dried her clothes with her battle qi.
She was sitting by the lake calming herself down, and the blush on her face had faded considerably.
The two exchanged a smile, needing no further words. Little Fairy Doctor immediately sat cross-legged in front of the medicine cauldron, and Huo Yuhao pressed himself close to her once more.
Just as they were focused and ready to attempt to refine a sixth-grade elixir, Boom!!
Another earth-shattering roar!
A beam of light, even more refined and powerful than when Gu He refined it at dusk, shot into the sky once again from the direction of the Alchemist Guild! The dazzling light instantly illuminated half of the night sky of the capital, announcing the birth of yet another Grade 6 pill!
Xiao Yixian and Huo Yuhao paused at the same time, looking up at the source of the dazzling pillar of light.
Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but sigh, "Senior Guhe's alchemy skills are indeed superior. I'm afraid Xiao Yan alone couldn't withstand this pressure."
Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a smile. He tightened his grip on Little Fairy Doctor's shoulder slightly: "Then let's challenge Senior Gu He together!"
The Alchemists' Guild's spacious plaza was now enveloped in a frenzied atmosphere.
"It worked! It worked again!"
"Master Furukawa is awesome!"
"The Empire's Number One Alchemist, truly deserving of the title!"
Looking at the dazzling halo gradually dissipating above the ancient medicine cauldron in the center of the square, and the sixth-grade pill in Gu He's hand that still retained warmth and whose patterns were clearly visible.
The alchemists gathered around the edge of the square could no longer contain their excitement and burst into a barrage of compliments.
However, within half an hour, he successfully refined six-grade pills twice in a row. This skill was enough to impress everyone present!
Even Fama and Jia Xingtian, two seasoned veterans, couldn't hide their amazement.
Fa Ma was secretly shocked: "The quality of this Jade Marrow Pill is even purer than the Battle Spirit Pill from before! This kid Gu He—he's actually approaching the level of a seventh-grade alchemist!"
Jia Xingtian clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Haha! Excellent! Master Guhe's skill is divine! That guy over there should probably admit defeat by now, right?"
