Chapter 135 Being targeted
Elixirs are precious, and selling them on the black market would be too eye-catching. Youbao doesn't want to cause trouble for himself, so the elixirs are never sold outside, but are sold directly to the mall.
This time it was also an accident. Xie Sui happened to be there when You Bao went to deliver the elixir to Lu Xu.
That boy was very smart and knew that the things You Bao brought must not be ordinary things. I also heard that it can increase memory, and I immediately thought of asking Youbao to make another batch and sell it to students before the exam, and I would definitely make a lot of money.
But can the price of elixirs made from so many precious medicinal materials be cheap?
When he heard that a bottle of elixir was worth a million, even Young Master Xie was shocked. This was not something that ordinary people could afford. But considering that this girl usually charges a lot of money to collect ghosts and do feng shui for people, it doesn't seem surprising that she sold millions of pills. What's more, for the truly wealthy, one or two million is nothing.
In the end, after Xie Sui's persistent efforts and persistent pursuit, Youbao promised to prepare two more copies for him another day. She would charge one million for a bottle. She didn't care how much the guy sold, but she couldn't reveal the source of the elixir. her hand.
Xie Sui was overjoyed. After receiving the elixir, he kept one bottle for himself and sold the other bottle for a high price of two million. This meant that he did not spend a penny and got a bottle of medicine for nothing.
It's just that he is not willing to take this medicine himself. He is a scumbag and will not rely on studying to earn money to support his family in the future. Furthermore, based on his friendship with sister Youbao, there is no telling when the other party will be willing to sell him another copy. .
So he gave the portion he had left to his cousin as a thank you gift.
They say they are cousins, but they are actually separated by several rooms.
Although the Xie family is rich, in this area of Yunjing, it is not enough to have money alone, but also to have power.
The surname Xie is a common surname in Yunjing. Several top aristocratic families in Yunjing include the Xie family, but it is not Xie Sui's Xie. Xie's father is just a side branch of the Xie family, and Xie Li is the real main branch of the Xie family.
The reason why Xie's father's business has been so smooth these years is because of his support from the Xie family.
That is the real big family in the upper class of Yunjing, and it is powerful.
Xie Li is the youngest son of the third brother of the Xie family. He is in high school like Xie Sui and is only three months older than Xie Sui.
It will be Mr. Xie’s eightieth birthday in a while, and all the guests invited are the heads or heirs of various aristocratic families in the upper class. It is a gathering where real aristocratic families gather. This is a very good opportunity for Father Xie to get in touch with real high-level figures.
But as Xie’s father, he is not qualified enough to attend the banquet, and the Xie family may not be able to think of him sending a message to their family.
But if he came to the door at this time, anyone could see his thoughts. He would appear to be too good at sneaking in, and he would be afraid of being looked down upon by the Xie family.
It is Xie Sui who comes forward and starts with the thank-you gift. The friendship between the juniors will not appear too utilitarian.
The head of the Xie family is not short of money, and there will be more and not less good things. Xie Sui had also been thinking about what to give to his cousin, who would not only be unconventional and make their family look like a nouveau riche, but also be enough to attract the other party's attention.
Now that we have this bottle of elixir as a stepping stone, it won't be difficult to get an invitation from the Xie family.
On the other side, the Xie family.
Xie Li got off the car and hurried into the Xie family's mansion. As soon as he entered, he went straight to his father Xie An's study.
"Dad, look quickly." Xie Lixing hurriedly opened the door and entered.
The man sitting behind the desk raised his head, glared at him displeasedly and said, "You are so imprudent. Knock on the door first. Where have you learned all these years of rules? Such a big man still hasn't made any progress at all." " Xie Li has been scolded a lot since he was a child. This time, he walked up to the front and said: "Dad, please stop scolding me. I am anxious to show you something good. . I guarantee you will be more excited than me after seeing this.”
"What is it?" Xie An glanced at the box in his hand suspiciously.
Every time Youbao refines the elixir, he sells it directly to the system mall. Even if he occasionally gives it to others, it is always packed in a porcelain bottle.
The ones she gave Lu Xu and Xie Sui were the same ordinary porcelain vases.
However, Xie Sui was worth millions in order to make the elixir look more advanced. The bottle containing the medicine was specially replaced with a high-quality nanmu box.
Thank you and immediately opened the box in your hand.
The fragrance of red pepper hits your nose.
This is not the smell of ordinary Chinese medicine, but the fragrance of red pepper, which is refreshing when smelling it.
Xie An subconsciously looked at the elixir in Xie Li's hand. His eyes immediately straightened, especially when he saw the clear elixir pattern on it, he stood up from the chair.
“This is a second-grade elixir pattern? Where did you get this elixir?”
After all, he is the head of the third branch of the Xie family, and everyone must call him Third Master Xie. I was once lucky enough to see a second-grade elixir on the black market, with the same pattern as before, but that time it was just a second-grade elixir. I heard that a certain family accidentally got it a hundred years ago and still keeps it today, but the effect of the elixir is not as good as before.
But even so, Rao was photographed for five million.
The elixir in front of me has clear lines and a fragrant fragrance. It is obviously a top-grade elixir.
“It was sent by my cousin from the Xie family. He said it was a pill that could enhance memory and have a photographic memory.” Xie Li was from the Xie family. He was usually exposed to things that ordinary people could not access, so he naturally knew more than the average person. As soon as Xie Sui took out this thing, he knew it was something special.
“Did he ever say where the elixir came from?” Xie An said excitedly.
“I said I got it by chance. Dad, can this thing really be useful?”
"This is a second-grade elixir, and it is a top-grade elixir in terms of appearance. It is not comparable to the defective products that appear on the black market. There are not many alchemists who can refine second-grade elixirs nowadays. If you can find them, your grandfather His health may be saved. "If the old man's illness can be cured, the third brother of the Xie family will have more status in the family in the future.
"Hurry, let the housekeeper prepare the car. I want to go to Xie's house in person." Xie An immediately ordered.
Xie Sui did not expect that the box of pills he got from Sister Youbao would actually attract the third master of the Xie family.
The other party was obviously coming for the person who made the medicine, but Xie Sui was told by You Bao not to reveal her identity at will. Facing the third master of the Xie family, a man whom they could hardly even see each other, they resisted the pressure and did not say anything about You Bao. He only said that it was a gift from a friend, and he promised that friend not to reveal the other person's identity.
Xie An returned without success. Although he was angry at the other party's lack of appreciation, he was able to keep his composure and did not directly quarrel with each other. When he left, he only ordered the people who came to thank him: "Send someone to check what kind of things are around him." Friend? Also, has he been in contact with anyone like a master recently?"
