Following the sound, I saw a girl about eleven or twelve years old standing beside me.
She had eyebrows like distant ink, eyes like autumn water, black hair cascading like a waterfall, and an oval face.
Although she is not stunningly beautiful, she has a certain charm that is worth looking at.
She was wearing a floor-length red dress, which outlined her almost perfect girlish figure, especially her long eyelashes, which seemed to be shining and shining, with a magical charm that could captivate the soul.
Tuoba Yan sniffed the sachet and said firmly, "Sorry, I don't want to give it to you."
"Little brother..."
The girl in red blinked her lively eyes and spoke in a naive tone.
Hearing this, Tuoba Yan frowned slightly.
"Little brother?"
Tuoba Yan once again looked up and down at the girl in red.
Although he was only six years old, thanks to the white-armored earth dragon bloodline of the Tuoba family, he was tall and much taller than ordinary children.
At first glance, he was about the same height as the girl in front of him, and she was only a few years older than him. Besides, how could he be younger?
What was even stranger was that the girl's voice seemed to contain magic, and it made him feel slightly dizzy.
The girl in red raised her hand to play with her bangs.
An ordinary action turned out to be so brilliant when she did it that the owner of the perfume shop was stunned and distracted.
She continued in a sweet voice, "I really love the scent of this sachet. Can you really not give it to me?"
The voice was so alluring that ordinary people would be mesmerized by it.
"cannot!"
Tuoba Yan's tone was cold and unwavering.
This decisive rejection made the girl in red tremble slightly. She was not annoyed by the rejection, but was shocked that the child in front of her could resist her charm.
Having been trained in seduction since childhood, she relied on this skill to gain unparalleled success in the aristocratic world. Even adults could not escape her charm, so they never expected to fall before a child.
"Okay." The girl's eyes turned cold, but she turned to the stall owner and regained her gentleness. "I want this sachet. Double the price."
Tuoba Yan's face darkened. "First come, first served is the norm. It's rather overbearing for you to act like this, young lady!"
"In a market transaction, the highest bidder wins. How can there be any talk of bullying?"
The girl spoke in a coquettish tone, and with a flick of her fingertips, she took out a bag of gold soul coins from the storage soul guide. The magical voice made the stall owner nod involuntarily.
Taking advantage of Tuoba Yan's unpreparedness, she slammed the gold soul coin on the stall, snatched the sachet, chuckled triumphantly, turned around and disappeared into the bustling crowd.
Tuoba Yan did not chase after him, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife and shot at the stall owner.
The stall owner gave an apologetic smile. "Young Master, she has a point, and you're not wrong either. When you're out in public, let's not offend anyone. Besides the sachet just now, there are other sachets here. They're all good stuff, all good stuff. I'm sure one of them will please your girlfriend."
Tuoba Yan glanced around the stall, sniffed lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Only the sachet just now has a unique scent. Tell me honestly, what exactly is added to it?"
When he heard he was asking for the recipe, the stall owner dropped his fawning smile and sneered, "This is how I make a living. Why should I tell you?"
"Don't tell?" Tuoba Yan raised his eyebrows.
Seeing this, the stall owner waved his hands hastily: "Don't mess around, Martial Soul City is a place where the law is respected!"
"Hehe," Tuoba Yan sneered, "Do you know who I am? I'm Tuoba Yan, and my grandfather, Tuoba Xi, is the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Brigade. Most of the people in charge in this city are under my grandfather's command. Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"
The stall owner's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly apologized: "It's nothing, actually. It's just mugwort, perilla, clove, mint, and honeysuckle. It's used to repel mosquitoes."
"No!" Tuoba Yan said sternly, "I've studied medicinal herbs before, and there are clearly other spices in them. Tell me!"
"Really..."
"It seems that if I don't give you some strength, you won't speak?"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" The stall owner, terrified, flops to his knees. "Besides all that, I also added a little... Dragon Leak."
"Dragon leak?"
"Yes, yes, this thing smells good, but the name is not nice. However, many young ladies like it recently. Please be merciful, it's not easy to make a living as a small business!" As he said that, the stall owner stuffed the gold soul coin left by the girl in red to Tuoba Yan.
However, Tuoba Yan threw the purse back to the stall, which frightened the stall owner so much that he kowtowed repeatedly.
He knew very well that the nobles valued their reputation the most, and if they knew that whale excrement was used, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Are there any left? Bring it out!"
The stall owner quickly took out a box from under the stall. Tuoba Yan opened it and saw that there was indeed dark brown amber powder inside.
He sniffed it with his fingertips, feeling instantly refreshed and overjoyed. This was the rare cultivation material he had been searching for, the secret treasure known on Earth as "Ambergris"!
Tuoba Yan was excited.
This is the cultivation resource he has been asking people to find.
It also has another household name on the blue planet, ambergris.
The stall owner wasn't lying. This stuff was indeed excrement.
The essence of ambergris is the dried product of the intestinal secretions of sperm whales, a member of the sperm whale family. Some sperm whales will spit it out, some will excrete it from the intestines, and only a small number of sperm whales will keep it in their bodies.
It is light black at first, and under the influence of sea water, it gradually turns into gray, light gray, and finally white, dark brown, and also has the most exquisite colorful colors.
At the same time, it also has another function, which is to enhance people's mental strength.
With this thing, I no longer need to increase my mental strength by getting beaten in a short period of time.
Tuoba Yan immediately took out three bags of gold soul coins from his storage ring and said in a deep voice, "Put away your stall and sell all your dragon leeches to me. Tell me your supply channels and I'll reward you handsomely. I'll ensure your prosperity for three generations!"
