Something as rare and precious as tiger bone tendon would only need an inquiry and one would be able to locate it. After all, there were only a few noble families in the city, so it wasn’t difficult to obtain information for those who were interested.
It was also precisely because of this that Qi Kang returned to the inn in the evening.
“Master, the tiger bone tendon can only be found at the auction house. I heard that they only bought it some time ago and there are a few people who want to buy the tiger bone tendon from the auction house. But the auction house doesn’t seem to have any intention of putting it up for auction.”
Upon hearing Qi Kang’s words, Feng Jiu nodded slightly: “The tiger bone tendon needs to be from an adult double-tusked Siberian Tiger’s hind hamstrings in order to be able to be used as medicine. As adult double-tusked Siberian Tigers are hard to find, its tiger bone tendons are very valuable. It’s only normal that they don’t want to put it up for auction.”
Feng Jiu spoke gently. She held her chin in one hand while she played with her teacup with the other hand as she thought about it.
When he saw this, Qi Kang said: “Since he is not willing to sell it, why don’t I make a trip to the auction house this evening?”
In addition to restoring the strength in muscles and bones, the tiger bone tendon also had the ability to strengthen the muscles in the body if it were to be refined into the medicinal pill by an alchemist. It was perhaps because of this that the auction house was unwilling to put it up for auction.
If the tiger bone tendon was to be combined with other elixirs and refined into a medicinal pill then be put up for auction, the price they could fetch would be much higher.
“No need. I will make a trip myself tonight.” Feng Jiu said and waved her hand to signal for him to retreat.
When the sky started getting dark, Feng Jiu asked Fan Lin to prepare a medicinal bath for Xuanyuan MO Ze and told them to look after the two children while she took the opportunity to go to the auction house while it was dark.
At this time, there was a solemn atmosphere within the auction house which permeated the air inside and all the lower ranking staff didn’t dare to take a breath.
The elder in charge of the auction house had been brought back after being seriously injured. This was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day and their faces paled with shock.
The Chief Steward was by the bedside looking after the elder and not daring to make any mistakes. There were more than a dozen upper-level stewards of the auction house waiting outside. They looked at the closed door with heavy hearts.
Would they get blamed by the higher authorities for the elder being so badly injured and suffer the same fate? Ever since the elder had been sent back, the Chief Steward had sent a message to the higher authorities but no one had arrived to deal with the matter. They waited in a panic, not knowing what to do.
“They’re here, they’re here…”
A steward rushed in quickly and shouted. After he entered the courtyard, he went over and stood with the others. When the others heard his words, they stood upright quickly and looked towards the courtyard entrance.
They saw two old men in gray robes walking in from outside with their hands behind their backs. Eight cultivators with restrained breaths followed behind them. As soon as they entered the courtyard, it felt like the entire courtyard had been enveloped by a powerful aura instantly and they lowered their heads involuntarily, not daring to look directly at them.
When he heard the shouting, the Chief Steward came outside at once and greeted them. When he saw the two old men, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully to them, then he gestured and invited them inside.
The eight cultivators who had followed behind them didn’t follow them inside. They stood in the courtyard and guarded quietly. When they saw the door being closed, they stood in front of it and blocked the view and withdrew their gaze.
After entering the room, the two old men’s expressions darkened when they saw the person lying on the bed..
