第二十一章 初战告捷（1 / 2）

十五日之期，倏忽而过。

这半月间，萧炎的生活规律得近乎严苛。

白天，他大多沉浸於后山苦修，稳固一星斗者境界，同时不断熟悉“焚诀”的玄奥运转，反覆锤炼斗者阶段的诸般斗技，將力量掌控得愈发精微。

而当夜幕低垂，万籟俱寂之时，他便会在药老的指导下，於房中屏息凝神，观摩学习那深奥的炼药之术。

那五十瓶“筑基灵液”的炼製，自然主要由药老亲自出手。以其深不可测的灵魂力量与登峰造极的火焰掌控力，炼製这等二品丹药堪称信手拈来，不仅成功率百分之百，所成丹药品相更是臻至完美。

萧炎则负责处理药材预处理等杂事，並聚精会神地观察著每一个细微步骤，感受那精妙入微的灵魂力量运用与火焰变幻，眼界与认知皆在飞速提升。

第十五日黄昏，夕阳熔金，为天边云霞镀上瑰丽色彩。

萧炎再次换上那身宽大黑袍，面具覆面，周身气息在药老的遮掩下变得如渊似海，难以测度。

他悄无声息地离开萧家，如一抹阴影融於暮色，在乌坦城的街巷间自如穿梭，轻巧避开所有视线，再次来到了米特尔拍卖场那处僻静的偏门。

早已奉命在此恭候的侍女，一见这身熟悉的神秘装扮，立刻毕恭毕敬地躬身行礼，不敢有丝毫怠慢，默不作声地引著他前往那间熟悉的高级鉴宝室。

室內，雅妃早已盛装等候。今日她一袭炽烈红裙，剪裁得体的旗袍將她曼妙起伏的诱人曲线勾勒得淋漓尽致。见到黑袍人如期而至，她嫵媚倾城的俏脸上顿时绽开明媚如的笑靨，热情迎上，眼波流转间风情万种。

“先生果然是信人，分毫不差。”雅妃的声音酥软娇腻，带著由衷的讚嘆，“您后续需要的药材，我们已经备下更多。却不知那灵液……”

黑袍之下，药老操控的“萧炎”並未多言，只是手掌隨意一挥。

霎时间，宽大的黑袍袖口中，一个个小巧精致的玉瓶鱼贯飞出，划过道道优雅弧线，轻巧而精准地落在铺著柔软锦缎的桌面上，发出清脆悦耳的轻响，不多不少，正好五十瓶。

每一只玉瓶都剔透莹润，其內盛装的翡翠色液体青翠欲滴，在灯光映照下流转著诱人光华，浓郁的异香顷刻间盈满室间，令人精神为之一振。

望著那整整齐齐列队的五十瓶筑基灵液，饶是雅妃早有心理准备，呼吸也不由得微微一窒，美眸中闪过难以掩饰的震撼与惊喜。

半个月！仅仅是半个月！五十瓶二品丹药！

如此恐怖的效率，简直骇人听闻！这无疑再次確证了她心中的判断——这位神秘炼药师的品阶，绝对远超谷尼，恐怕已臻四品，甚至更高！

她强压住翻腾的心绪，莲步轻移上前，纤指小心翼翼地拿起一瓶仔细查验。但见药液色泽纯粹饱满，能量充沛而温和，与半月前那滴样品別无二致，品质堪称上乘。

“先生手段通玄，雅妃心悦诚服。”她由衷讚嘆，语气比之上次更为恭敬，“您所需的药材早已备妥，请您过目。”

她轻轻击掌，一名侍从立刻躬身捧著一个托盘步入，其上静置著一枚淡红色的纳戒。

药老灵魂力量微动，扫过其中，確认是六十份药材（比约定多出十份，显然是雅妃额外的诚意），便微微頷首，袍袖一卷，將纳戒收起。

“合作愉快。”雅妃笑靨如，亲自將一张紫金光华流转的卡片奉上，“此乃我米特尔拍卖行的顶级贵宾卡，先生日后若有所需，凭此卡在所有米特尔分行皆可获得最优先的待遇。此次拍卖所得，扣除成本与分成后，亦会悉数存入此卡中。”

药老接过卡片，淡淡应了一声，作势欲走。

“先生请稍候，”雅妃连忙开口，语气转为商討，“关於这批灵液的运作，雅妃有些浅见，想请先生定夺。”

黑袍人脚步微顿。

雅妃组织语言，声音清晰干练，尽显商业智慧：“乌坦城虽是大城，但顶尖家族不过米特尔、萧家、加列、奥巴等数家。一次性投放五十瓶灵液，市场恐难完全消化，反易衝击价格，削弱其珍稀性。”

“故雅妃愚见，此次仅在乌坦城拍卖五瓶，既可试水，亦能吊足各大家族胃口。其余四十五瓶，”她眼中锐光一闪，“我將即刻派遣最可靠的队伍，快马加鞭送往帝都总部！由总部筹划专场拍卖，面向帝国所有豪门显贵！届时，凭藉帝都的雄厚財力与竞拍氛围，其成交价势必远超乌坦城！不知先生意下如何？”

药老（萧炎）闻言，心中暗赞此女手段高明，深諳奇货可居与利润最大化之道。將主战场置於帝都，无疑能攫取最大利益。

“可。”黑袍下传出淡漠的认可。

“多谢先生信任！”雅妃笑容更盛，“乌坦城的拍卖会定於三日后，先生若有閒暇，可来一观。”

药老不置可否，转身离去。

……

三日后，米特尔拍卖场大型拍卖会如期举行。

此前关於“神秘药物能加速斗之气修炼”的风声早已传得满城风雨，將乌坦城各大家族撩拨得心痒难耐。

拍卖大厅內座无虚席，气氛热烈鼎沸。

萧炎並未亲至，他相信雅妃的手段，也知其绝不敢欺瞒。

拍卖台上，雅妃一袭红裙，风华绝代，巧笑嫣然间便轻易掌控全场节奏。她一顰一笑皆牵引著无数目光，將拍卖气氛一次次推向顶点。

当最后一件常规拍品落槌，雅妃美眸流转，红唇轻启，声音带著魔性的诱惑力：“接下来，乃是本次拍卖会最终的压轴之物。它非刀剑鎧甲，亦非功法斗技，然其对在座诸位家主而言，其价值，或许远超前者。”

话语成功吊起所有人胃口，场內霎时鸦雀无声。

两名侍女小心翼翼捧上一个覆著红绸的玉盘。

雅妃縴手轻扬，揭开绸布，五个玲瓏剔透的玉瓶静静呈现，流光溢彩。

“此物，名曰『筑基灵液』。”雅妃清越声音传遍大厅，“经我米特尔拍卖场谷尼大师亲自鑑定，並经斗之气阶段少年实际验证，確认为二品丹药。其唯一效用，便是能温和且显著加速斗之气阶段的修炼速度，於经脉绝无半分损害！”

“轰！”

大厅瞬间沸腾！

加速斗之气修炼？还无损经脉？！这简直是所有有晚辈的家族梦寐以求之神物！

“雅妃小姐，此话当真？！”奥巴家族族长，一位面色略显阴鷙的中年人，忍不住急声开口，语带迫切。

“米特尔拍卖场的金字招牌，便是担保。”雅妃自信一笑，“此灵液效果卓著，然產量稀世，本次仅此五瓶。诸位当知，这意味著什么。”
