Seven days later.

Take the light outside the city.

Outside the north gate of the city, dense crowds and carriages were queuing up to pass through the city gate. And in the long queue, a man dressed in luxurious clothes, who looked gentle and elegant, like a scholar or a noble prince was driving.

The horse attracted a lot of attention.

It is Lu An. ??

Although this dress may not be as expensive as the clothes he often wore before, it does make him look a lot more conspicuous. Although Lu An also wore good clothes before, they were all very low-key. But this time, they were a bit conspicuous.

The reason is for no other reason than to show off his identity as a 'master' and allow Yang Meiren to be by his side at all times, so as not to steal his limelight and attract other people's attention. In this way, a lot of trouble will be avoided.

Speaking of Yang Meiren, Lu An was caught off guard by the changes in these seven days.

If the changes in the first two months were just slow changes that gave Lu An an adaptation period, the changes in these seven days were extremely rapid, as if they had been planned for a long time. From zero to something, it was accomplished overnight.

Although it was Lu An who was driving at this time, during the seven days on the road, Yang Meiren treated him with respect in private... no different from a real maid, or even worse.

Not only taking care of Lu An's life, but also her daily life. For seven days, Yang Meiren changed Lu An's clothes in the morning, took off Lu An's clothes in the evening, fetched water for Lu An, and bathed Lu An's feet. Yesterday, Yang Meiren even had to give Lu An a bath.

Lu An took a bath, but Lu An sternly refused.

Thinking of what he had experienced in the past few days, Lu An's head ached. Although he was being served, he felt more tired than before and his body was very weak.

Fortunately, the weather today was good, neither hot nor cold, and there were gusts of cool breeze, which allowed Lu An to take a rest even while driving. Soon Lu An and Yang Meiren went to the city and rented a car as quickly as possible

patio.

The courtyard is still very luxurious, and the waiter is leading people to clean up the entire courtyard. Lu An and Yang Meiren are sitting in the pavilion on the lake, waiting boredly.

After a while, Lu An waved his hand and called the waiter over.

The waiter soon came to Lu An. When renting a house, the waiter had dealt with Lu An. He was obviously a wealthy owner who could build such a large courtyard so neatly.

What also concerned the waiter was the woman who had been standing next to the young man. This woman gave people a very cold feeling, and she wore a thin veil. She was very mysterious and made people afraid to approach. But

Judging from her status, she is obviously this young man's maid.

"Sir, what are your orders?" The waiter asked Lu An with a smile without looking any further.

"I would like to ask about the situation in Light Seizing City." Lu An asked, "What big forces are there and what things need to be paid attention to."

Hearing Lu An's question, the waiter smiled. In their line of work, questions like this were the most answered. He immediately said, "You two are outsiders, so it's normal for you not to know about Light Seizing City. As long as you remember

Five words, that is, 'Shang, Gao, Zhou, Wei, and Li'."

Shang Gao Fang Wei Li?

Lu An was slightly startled and said, "Please tell me in detail."

"It's very simple. These are the surnames of the five strongest families in Seizing Light City, and from front to back, they are the rankings of strength." The waiter said with a smile, "These five families have been the leaders of Seizing Light City for the past twenty years.

The five giants, even the Pharmacist Alliance, have to give them a lot of face. Apart from the Pharmacist Alliance, the five of them are the authority."

"These five major families control almost all the resources of Seizing Light City. Other small families and chambers of commerce must rely on them to survive. Not only that, their chambers of commerce and auction houses also control many other cities."

Lu An nodded after hearing this.

"As for things to pay attention to...actually, as long as you don't cause trouble and don't offend people from the five major families, it's basically nothing major." The waiter thought for a while and added, "Of course, except for three people."

"Which three people?" Lu An asked.

"The merchant's princess Shang Fei, the Gao family's son Gao Guang, and the Zhou family's princess Fang Bihan." The waiter said, "Because they are the heirs of the family, they have been pampered since childhood, and are used to being arrogant and domineering in Seizing Light City. No one can control them.

No one dares to care. If you encounter the three of them, just go around."

After hearing this, Lu An wrote down these three names, took out a gold coin and said to the waiter

,"Thanks."

The waiter's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the money. After taking it, he quickly said to Lu An, "If you need anything in the future, just ask, I'll be there when you call."

Lu An smiled and said, "Okay."

The staff worked very efficiently and cleaned the courtyard in a short time. After they left, Lu An and Yang Meiren went out without staying too long.

Lu An came here to cultivate himself. Because of the relationship between the Nine Heavens Holy Fire and the Mysterious Ice, Lu An felt that the refining of level 4 elixirs was not his limit. Now he has firmly established himself as a level 4 pharmacist.

He wants to go to the next level.

He came to the most prosperous section of the road, and the crowds on the street were very dense. Hearing that the auction houses of Xiao Er and Wu's big families were all here, Lu An did not rush to choose one to go in, but wanted to observe the environment and terrain here first.

After walking on the street for more than half an hour, Lu An stopped, turned around, and looked at Yang Meiren behind him.

Then, he was stunned because Yang Meiren was very close to him and almost bumped into him.

"I'm sorry." Yang Meiren quickly took a step back and whispered.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he could see Yang Meiren up close, and felt that her beautiful face under the veil seemed to be a little red?

Looking at Yang Meiren's appearance, Lu An was slightly startled and said softly, "Didn't I say you don't need to be so reserved in front of outsiders? Relax a little."

Hearing Lu An's words, Yang Meiren's body trembled slightly, then she took a breath, her eyes became cold, and she said softly, "Yes."

"After walking for so long and passing by five auction houses, which one do you think we should go to?" Lu An looked at Yang Meiren and asked.

After hearing this, Yang Meiren thought for a moment and then said, "Start from the lowest Li family, and then change as your medicine refining ability improves. This way, your identity will not be exposed too much, and it will not attract too many people's attention."

.”

Lu An nodded when he heard this. Indeed, he thought so too, and said, "I listen to you."

Then, Lu An took Yang Meiren and turned to the Li family's auction house. Even though it is the weakest among the five major families, the auction house is so grand.

It was also unmatched by anything Lu An had ever seen before.

The auction house is flanked by several shops of the Li family. In front of the shops, there is a real bustling crowd, and business is very popular. Compared with the shops, the auction house seems a lot deserted, but there are definitely a lot of people, and people are still coming and going.

Lu An walked into the auction house with Yang Meiren, and immediately a beautiful woman came to Lu An. The woman was wearing a tight-fitting robe, showing off her curvy figure and her seductive long legs, looking at Lu An.

An showed a professional smile and asked, "What do you need, sir?"

"I want to exchange the elixir for money." Lu An smiled and said politely.

Exchange elixirs for money?

The beauty was stunned, obviously not expecting that Lu An was here to do such a thing. She originally thought that this young man in luxurious clothes was here to buy things, but she didn't expect that he was here to sell things.

However, the beauty quickly came to her senses and smiled again. If she loses her shop to sell things, most of them require long-term cooperation. If she comes to the auction house, it is usually a one-time cooperation.

"Master, please come with me." The beauty said with a smile, then turned and walked in front. Seeing this, Lu An followed.

Lu An followed into a long corridor. There were many fewer people in the corridor than outside. Soon, the two of them came to a door. The woman knocked on the door twice, then opened the door and smiled at Lu An and said,

"Master, please go in alone and leave your maid outside."

Lu An was startled when he heard this, then frowned for a moment.

Under the veil, Yang Meiren's face immediately turned cold. From the moment she entered the door, this woman only had Lu An in her eyes. Yang Meiren didn't say anything, but it didn't mean that she didn't care.

Lu An knew why. When he first made the medicine, he knew that there was an unwritten rule that the maid should be left outside. This is why in the Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce, the maid was waiting outside the door.

He. Because most pharmacists would feel that the presence of a maid would pollute the purity of the elixir.

However, Lu An didn't need to see Yang Meiren's reaction at all. He looked directly at the woman and said, "If that's the case, then there's no need."

After speaking, Lu An didn't even give the woman a chance to respond, and turned around and left with Yang Meiren.
