Meng Xiao first goes to a shop which sells potions.
"Young customer, what should you like to get," a young woman said from within the shop.
"I will like to get some potions that can alter appearances" Meng Xiao said.
"Of what grade should you prefer?" The man asked.
"How do you grade them?" Meng Xiao asked.
"We have low-level, mid-level and advanced levels. The low level can sustain you for an hour, the mid-level can sustain you for five hours and the high level can sustain you for a day so do you prefer it as a potion or a pill" the man said with a professional smile.
"Pill" Meng Xiao said.
"How much do they cost? " meng xiao asked getting to the point.
"The low-level appearance-altering potion cost 500 gold coins, the mid-level cost 15000 gold coins and the advance level cost 2500 gold coins which would you prefer," the man asked meng xiao.
Hearing the astronomical amount meng xiao almost cried, all the gold coins she stole from the Meng family is 1000 gold coins and she believed she is rich but now, the thought of spending it on the potion made her heartache.
"I want two bottles of low-level altering pills" meng xiao said as she hand the man all the gold coins she stole in exchange for the pill.
In this world, the best-selling profession is the herbalist. Even though they are the weakest a bottle of their potion and pill cost a lot.
And since the people who manage to become mid-level or high-level herbalist is few the amount of pill in the market becomes scarce therefore causing inflation in the price of the medicine.
In this world, one can offend anybody except a herbalist because even though they are not strong to fight back physically their enormous amount of connection can cover that since everyone wants to be a friend of an herbalist.
As meng xiao took the pill, she quickly find a dark place with fewer people to get changed.
She changes to a young woman who has an average look.
After changing her appearance, meng xiao pulled the big cloak she wore to hide her identity.
Meng Xiao quickly heads to the auction house at a fast pace.
The auction house is brightly lit, in the quiet night scene, it was a period when
the auction house is most lively.
Among all the auction houses, the Ming family is the largest and most famous. It is due to them always having unique and rare items for sale. And that kind of item rarely appears in another auction house so it is a must-go place for auction since one can find rarely seen treasures. Buyers from all over the empire and beyond come to the Ming auction house to get the treasure.
Numerous guests have arrived and some have already been seated waiting for the auction to begin.
The Ming family auction house
Soon the auction house is filled with customers who intend to bid for items.
As meng xiao arrives she found an exchange spot where people who intend to auction their item goes. Meng Xiao quickly gets to the line waiting.
When it gets to her turn she demands to see the manager.
"Please young miss, for you to see the manager then you must be trading what is worth more than 10,000 gold coins. Do you still want to see the manager?" a woman who is in her early thirties spoke to meng xiao with a mocking expression. She has seen a lot of customers who pretend to be rich and request secret business with the manager but all they get is thrown out like an animal with broken limbs or two. The attendee did not see anything special or eye-catching in this young miss.
"I still want to see the manager. Tell him a customer wants to make a deal with him" meng xiao said with an unwavering and calm expression.
At the back door of the Ming auction house, a young man about sixteen or seventeen sat with his leg crossed. And beside him is manager Zhi who is shaking. Even though he is older that the young man he is terrified of him.
The man sitting is none other than the young lord of the Ming family Ming Xiao.
He is the most likely to inherit the Ming family inheritance and become the family head in the future because of his sly cunning tongue which can convince customers into spending so how can the manager dare breathe properly in his presence?
Ming Xia is a high formation expert as well as a playboy. Sitting on the soft fur chair made from the fur of a midnight wolf his phoenix-like eyes scanned the item placed before him.
Many people consider ming xia a prodigy in the trade as he can't sell a useless piece of scraped me tel for an astronomical amount and this auction was given to him by his grandfather to test if he can truly handle it.
To everyone, it may seem like hard work for a young man but Ming Gian handles it like a breeze, his domineering presence sent shivers down his worker's spine.
Even though they were precious materials, it lacking in numbers.
"What do you mean by telling me that this only precious material we have," Meng Xia said with a tone that sounded like that of the king of death in the eras of manager Zhi.
"Young master please forgive me, the new batch of items got held up by some bandit and I have sent more men, by tomorrow afternoon it will arrive," Manager Zhi said not daring to breathe properly for fear of angering this little demon.
Ming Xia who continues to look at the item as if continuing so will increase their numbers.
Manager Zhi was dying in this silence as tension arouse in his heart.
"Knock" a knocking sound was heard.
"Enter," Ming Xia said.
