Chapter 48: It’s a Small World (3)
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Mo Xuan Fei had on an ugly expression as he tried to suppress his emotions. Bai Yun Xian slightly wrinkled her brows as she stepped forward and handed that old man a small porcelain bottle.
"These should be enough?" She tilted her chin upwards and asked smugly.
The old man took the bottle as he lifted his brows and glanced over at her.
All the onlookers craned their necks to see what Qing Yun Clan Sovereign's disciple handed over. It certainly must be good stuff!
The old man opened the bottle and took a whiff.
Once he opened the bottle, a sweet refreshing scent permeated the surroundings and left the crowd fascinated.
"This is…?" He asked in a raspy voice.
Bai Yun Xian sneered and replied, "This is Qing Yun Clan's infamous Qing Yun Pill."
Once these words came out from her mouth, gasps could be heard everywhere.
Qing Yun Pill!
This was the rumoured elixir which was personally concocted by Qing Yun Clan's Sovereign. It was infamous to be known as THE life saving pill – even a person who had half a foot in the grave could extend their lifespan by having a pill a day.
This recipe was a closely guarded secret and the Sovereign was the one and only person who knew how to concoct this pill. For this, many kings and rulers had tried all means and ways to get their hands on it. This time, Bai Yun Xian had made this trip to Kingdom of Qi to specially deliver this prized elixir to the Emperor.
The one she had just handed over was specially given to her by her Master for her own use.
The name of this pill resounded throughout various nations and was an illusive name that many wanted but could not get their hands on.
"Wow, she really lives up to the name of being Qing Yun Clan Sovereign's disciple. She could even pull out THE Qing Yun Pill out so easily! This old man is really lucky and have scored big time." Many people were secretly envious as they stared agape at that little porcelain bottle as they discussed in hushed tones.
Changing these items for a Qing Yun Pill was a huge loss for Bai Yun Xian.
"What do you know? These pills were personally concocted by Qing Yun Clan's Sovereign! Even if she finished it, all she need to do is to simply ask for more from her Master. Don't mix her up with the ordinary folks like yourself! These pills to her may not be worth that much." One of the onlookers said as he looked enviously at the golden couple in front of him.
To be able to hook up with Bai Yun Xian, the Second Prince influence had gone up by a few notches.
Bai Yun Xian was definitely in a different league from Jun Wu Xie.
Although these were spoken in hushed tones, it could still be heard and Bai Yun Xian nodded in approval inwardly as she smiled towards Mo Xuan Fei.
However, after sniffing the elixir, the old man simply stuffed the cover back and chucked the bottle back to her.
Bai Yun Xian's smiling face stiffened.
"This is something I do not need. Not changing… Not changing." He said wistfully as he sat back in a laid back position and slowly inhaled a deep breath and blew out the smoke from his pipe.
For that moment, everyone's eyes almost popped out.
Had this old man gone senile already?!
That was THE Qing Yun Pill!
Bai Yun Xian's smile immediately crumbled and her displeasure was shown on her face. This was the first time someone had rejected her Master's personally concocted elixir!
"Dear Sir; this is The Qing Yun Pill. Q-I-N-G Y-U-N pill ah!! Are you sure you don't want it?" She broke it down for him in exasperation.
"No, no, no! If you don't have any other types of elixirs then don't disturb my other patrons." He snorted impatiently.
This was a huge blow to the couple as they stood there awkwardly – their expressions black to the extreme.
They even began to suspect this old man was not out to do business, he even had the audacity to slight and reject the Qing Yun Pill?
"If you don't want to trade then we won't trade! You really think your items are worth that much?!" Mo Xuan Fei coldly rebutted.
The old man glanced at him, sneered and no longer bothered with him.

"I do not know if this elixir would interest dear Elder?" Just as Mo Xuan Fei was wallowing in frustration, a small voice came from the crowd as a small figure squeezed out.
A fair young boy around the age of fourteen finally emerged out from the crowd, holding onto a small white porcelain bottle in one hand. He strutted to the stall and handed it over to the old man.
"Hey kid, do you think this is a party? Just squeezing in and following other peoples footsteps by simply handing in any elixir you have with you? For goodness sake, the old man just rejected the Qing Yun Pill ah! THE Qing Yun Pill! Do you even know what that entails? Careful he doesn't throw it right back in your face!" A rowdy bystander heartily added oil to the fire.
Jun Wu Xie simply ignored the others as she looked at the old man.
The old man looked at the fair boy standing in front and got up as he reached for the bottle. "Little boy, what do you want to change it for?"
"Eastern Pearls." Jun Wu Xie replied.
"Oh." The old man casually opened the bottle. Once he opened the bottle, a sweet refreshing scent of herbs mixed with a hint of lotus permeated the surrounding. Those that were near enough had the luxury to inhale this immediately felt physically and mentally more comfortable.
Those gathered close to the stall could not help but let out an involuntary sigh as they felt their mind at ease and their spirits uplifted.
The old man's once clouded eyes seemed to have regained their brightness, all the apprehensiveness dissipated away as he raised his head and looked at Jun Wu Xie with a bewildered expression.
"Little boy, what is this elixir? What is the name of it?" The old man asked in an urgent tone.
"It doesn't have a name. It's just a regular blood conditioning elixir." Jun Wu Xie had not bothered to come up with names for these as they were created simply for Jun Xian and Jun Qing's body conditioning, part of their recuperation regime. She did not need to waste time on something so trivial.
"How much do you want to trade it for? How about this? You give me this bottle and you can take these nine Eastern Pearls and choose any other three Spiritual Gems?" The old man's nostrils flared up as he asked in an overly excited tone and looked at Jun Wu Xie with sparkly eyes. He folded his hands across as he careful tucked the bottle within his embrace, making it clear he had no intention of handing back the medicine.
As soon as the old man made the offer, the crowd was rendered speechless. In a moment, there was an outburst of discussions as they stared at the incredulous scene in front of them.
This eccentric old man blatantly rejected the Qing Yun Pill and yet he coveted a nameless elixir from an unknown source?
What did this imply? That kid's elixir was even better than Qing Yun Clan Sovereign's infamous Qing Yun Pill?
"No, I just want the Eastern Pearls." Jun Wu Xie was not interested in anything else.
"How about you have another look at the other items?" The old man coaxed as he looked at her anxiously, tightening his grip on the bottle.
"No need." Jun Wu Xie frowned in annoyance. This old man was really long-winded!
"Then tell me what do you need? If I have it, I'll change it with you?" He bent down and started digging for something and he retrieved a pouch and opened it.
As he revealed the contents, everyone's eyes were sparkling and intermittent gulping sounds could be heard all around. In it were various precious Spiritual Gems full of brilliance and Spiritual energy. The quality of these made those previously displayed pale in comparison.
For a moment, everyone stared at the pile of precious Spiritual Gems in a daze.
"I just want the Eastern Pearls." Jun Wu Xie's voice had a hint of impatience in it.
The old man was about to say something when a figure took a step and stood between them.
