What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)

Chapter 91: Medicine Cauldron

After breakfast, Xiao Yixian started to tidy up the table, while Xiao Yan took out a list from his spatial ring and handed it to Boss Yao.

Boss Yao, please prepare these medicinal ingredients for me. Ill pay for them.

Oh, no need to say that. Youre Xianers savior. These medicinal ingredients are just trivial things. Ill give them to you for free.

Boss Yao received the list but Xiao Yan looked serious as he gazed at him.

A deal is a deal. I must pay for the medicinal ingredients according to the list.

Xiao Yan believed in the principle of not expecting something for nothing, even if he had done a favor for someone else.

Boss Yao understood Xiao Yans thoughts but reluctantly waved his hand and looked at the medicinal ingredient list handed to him.

These are all quite common medicinal ingredients. Snake Desire Fruit, Containing Spring Grass, Dragon Fire Leaf

At first, Boss Yao didnt think much about the list, but as he read on, he felt that something was not quite right.

All of these medicinal ingredients were Sun Yang (Sunfire) herbs. While some could be used as foundational ingredients for healing medicines, the rest were purely meant to enhance ones energy, most likely used for male individuals.

Under normal circumstances, there was rarely any prescription that required the simultaneous use of so many Sun Yang herbs of the same type.

Unless

As a man, Boss Yao thought of something and his expression became somewhat peculiar as he looked at Xiao Yan.

Could it be that he misjudged Xiao Yan? Was Xiao Yan not as honest as he appeared to be? Why would he need these medicinal ingredients?

Such doubts arose in Boss Yaos mind, but he couldnt help recalling his previous interactions with Xiao Yan, which made him unable to really suspect him. If Xiao Yan really knew how to concoct such medicine, he couldnt have acted so upright and innocent before.

To confirm his suspicions, Boss Yao composed himself and casually asked with a smile, Xiao Yan, do you know what these medicinal ingredients are used for?

No, I dont know. Xiao Yan didnt hesitate and honestly replied. He scratched his face a little awkwardly and said, I told you before that I have already accepted a master alchemist. However, I havent had a chance to really get into alchemy, and these medicinal ingredients were ordered by my master. Perhaps he wants to formally teach me alchemy.

Hearing Xiao Yans answer, Boss Yao felt relieved.

Thank goodness. Xiao Yan really didnt know the effects of these medicinal ingredients.

I knew it. A person who is so honest to the point of being excessive wouldnt do something like that. Perhaps Im just overthinking things. I shouldnt worry too much about it.

I understand. Wait a moment, Ill go get the medicinal herbs for you.

Boss Yao put aside his rude thoughts and took the list to the medicine storage to find the medicinal ingredients for Xiao Yan.

After a while, Boss Yao returned with a large bag of herbs and a red iron cauldron in his hands. Two metal snakes intertwined around the cauldron, making it particularly eye-catching.

Seeing the cauldron, Xiao Yan didnt react, but the voice of Yaodun from within his ring spoke up.

Oh wow, Boss Yao also has a medicine cauldron?

A medicine cauldron? Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow in confusion, and Yaodun explained, Most alchemists rely on medicine cauldrons to refine medicines. This cauldron seems to be a double-mouthed one, and judging by its appearance, the material is quite good.

I see. After listening to Yaoduns explanation, Xiao Yan understood. So its like that.

Regardless of what Yaodun thought, Xiao Yan abruptly stood up and refused outright, No, no, no! Boss Yao, this is too valuable

Of course, Im not giving it to you for free. Boss Yao immediately interrupted Xiao Yan, smiling, I bought this cauldron for quite a sum of money back then, but after so many years, no one wants to buy it from me. Meeting you now is perfect; you can help me clear some space in the warehouse.

It originally cost 100,000 Gold coins, but its been over ten years now. Ill give it to you for 10,000. How about that?

Xiao Yan had saved Xiao Yixians life twice, so this act of kindness was beyond just giving him a cauldron. Even if he gave away the entire Medicine Pavilion, Boss Yao would willingly do so.

After all, Xiao Yixian was his everything. She was the only reason he had lived until now. If anything were to happen to her, no matter how valuable the Medicine Pavilion was, it would be worthless to him.

But Boss Yao also knew that Xiao Yan was a person of unwavering integrity, and he wouldnt accept it without paying anything.

Well then thank you, Boss Yao.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yan finally bowed deeply, expressing his sincere gratitude to Boss Yao.

Boss Yao smiled wryly as he watched Xiao Yans actions. A person so upright to this extent could be quite troublesome at times.
