"Guild Leader Liu, is it really fine for you to write like that?"
In the Apothecary Guild, Mu Yangfeng felt like dying.
He should have stopped the other party from writing nonsense!
It is one thing that you don't know what the Constellation Sea Pill is, but you should have at least done some research on it! To write the answer by touching the wall, isn't it too casual?
Even though he had no idea why the medicinal properties of the Purple Pearl Grass, Evening Sun Flower, and Three-leafed Green would be lost, as a 2-star pinnacle apothecary, he still knew a little about the medicinal properties of these medicinal herbs.
Exposing the yin attribute to the sun, not using the rhizome of the Evening Sun Flower, and the lower the percentage of the Three-leafed Young Man, the better... What the heck are you writing?
Anyone who has the slightest understanding of pill forging would know that this is nonsense. This is the complete opposite of normal pill forging. Aren't you just digging a grave?
Needless to say, the 4-star apothecary on the other side must be stomping his feet in anger. If he could, he would have crushed him to death.
Initially, he was extremely grateful to the other party for guiding him in forging a grade-3 pill. He thought that he had reached the pinnacle of his life. But now, he realized that what pinnacle was that!
This was the tempo of reaching the pinnacle before smashing him to death with a single blow!
Otherwise, have you ever seen a low-tier apothecary speak to a high-tier apothecary in such a manner?
His lips twitched, and just as he was thinking that his life had become bleak, the wall before him lit up once more.
"It's over..."
Knowing that the punishment written on the wall was for him, Mu Yangfeng's heart sank. Just as he was about to turn around to avoid embarrassing himself, he saw Apothecary Hong Yun's breathing hastening, as though he was on the verge of death from shock.
"Apothecary Mu, look, look..."
Then, he pointed to the wall with a trembling finger.
Perplexed, Mu Yangfeng turned his head to take a look. With a single glance, he felt as though his heart was about to explode.
After a long moment, a voice finally escaped his mouth.
"This... How is this possible?"
The words on the wall were bright and forceful — — Correct, it can be used as payment for the Frigid Yin Pill formula.
Correct?
Mu Yangfeng rubbed his eyes and confirmed that he wasn't seeing things. His eyes widened, and no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to recover.
Writing casually with a perplexed look on his face is the correct answer? Am I dreaming?
"It's good that it's correct. No matter what, my occupation is safe now..."
After a moment of shock, he was filled with joy. Since his judgement was correct, the other party would not be able to expel him as an Apothecary. His occupation was safe.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan was just about to say something when the wall before him suddenly glowed once more, and yet another line of words appeared.
"During the refining process of the Peak Fourth Grade Qi Orifice Pill, it's easy for the furnace to explode. How can I solve this problem?"
"Peak Grade Four Medicinal Pill?"
"Qi Opening Pill? I've heard of it before. It's a grade-4 pinnacle pill, and even some 5-star apothecaries find it hard to forge it. After consuming it, it can open up one's Qi acupoints, allowing one's cultivation to rise to greater heights. It's incomparably precious … You're asking about the forging of such a pill? "
The room fell silent again.
Was the 4-star apothecary on the other side sick?
Not only did this Guild Leader Liu ignore his rudeness, he even continued asking questions. Could it be that... this Guild Leader Liu was really so incredible that he could offer pointers to a 4-star apothecary?
"This …"
Just as he was about to discuss a solution with the young man, he saw the young man pick up the brush and write another line of words on the paper.
Upon seeing these words, Mu Yangfeng, who had just heaved a sigh of relief, felt his vision darken once more, and his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.
Not too far away, Apothecary Hong Yun and Jiang Chen's knees caved in and they found it hard to stand upright.
Big Brother … you're going against the heavens!
On the wall, six huge words glowed brightly — —
Reward, three spirit stones!
…
"This fellow... Does he really think that we're learning from him?"
Upon seeing the words on the wall, Qi Shengyu nearly went insane.
After recovering from his shock, he felt that he should continue questioning the other party to see if the other party was truly capable or just a fluke.
Then...
Guild Leader Su raised this question. He was wondering what kind of answer he would receive, but these six words came out of his mouth...
Reward... Reward your head!
As a 4-star apothecary of the Kingdom Alliance Guild, to assess a 3-star apothecary like you, you actually asked for money...
The heck!
We're testing you, do you understand?
Do you really think that we don't know how to ask you for guidance?
"Agree to it!"
After a moment of hesitation, Su Xing nodded his head.
"Agree?"
This time, it was Qi Shengyu's turn to be stunned.
"This question... I don't know how to answer it either. I would like to see what kind of answer he will give!" Su Xing said.
"You... don't know?" Qi Shengyu nearly fell to the ground.
Guild Leader Su was the most skilled apothecary in the entire guild, reaching 4-star pinnacle. What does he mean by 'don't know'...
Didn't he say that it was an examination?
Why did it turn into a question?
Besides, if he really didn't know how to answer it, how could he determine whether it was correct or not?
Even though he was shocked, under the guild leader's insistence, he still wrote down the word 'agree'.
Right after he finished writing, the same word 'pill formula' appeared on the wall.
After a moment of hesitation, he wrote down the pill formula for the 'Energy Aperture Pill'.
Weng!
Not too long later, another line of words appeared on the wall.
"Energy Aperture Pill is a pill that requires medicinal herbs with strong medicinal properties. One has to soak the medicinal herbs in an area of flowing water in advance to expel the fiery nature of the medicinal herbs. After which, one must add a Desiccant Grass..."
"Let me give it a try..."
The method recorded on the wall was simple. After reading through it, Guild Leader Su began experimenting on the spot. Not too long later, he stopped and stared at the medicinal aroma drifting from the cauldron with a dazed expression.
Correct!
To think that it would be correct as well!
Even he, a 4-star pinnacle apothecary, was unable to solve the problem. Yet, a fellow who had just become a 3-star apothecary was able to solve it perfectly...
What in the world was going on?
"The person on the other side isn't Mu Yangfeng. Apothecary Qi, go and check who it is..."
After a moment of shock, Guild Leader Su came to a realization.
If Apothecary Mu really possessed such capability, he would have long become famous. How could he possibly remain unknown?
"Alright, I'll head to Xuanyuan Conferred Kingdom now..."
Realizing this, Qi Shengyu hurriedly nodded his head.
Tianwu Kingdom was in the territory of Xuanyuan Conferred Kingdom. If he wanted to find Mu Yangfeng, he would have to head to the former.
"Un. However, wait a moment. Ring the bell now! Have all apothecaries in the alliance come to the guild immediately! "Guild Leader Su instructed.
"Yes!" Qi Shengyu nodded his head and left.
...
"Alright, it's done!"
After collecting the Frigid Yin Pill formula into the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan smiled.
With this pill formula, he would be able to forge the Frigid Yin Pill to awaken Zhao Ya's unique constitution.
Not only did he get the pill formula for free, he even got someone to send him spirit stones.
"Right, when will the other party's spirit stones arrive?" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"This... I've never experienced something like this before, so I'm not too sure... However, under normal circumstances, it should take around half a month!"
Mu Yangfeng hesitated for a moment before replying.
Initially, he was still shocked, but eventually, he became numb to the matter.
Other people had to pay a huge price to request for a pill formula from the headquarters. Yet, not only did this fellow obtain the pill formula, he even earned money from it...
Even though he was witnessing it with his own eyes, he still found it hard to believe.
"Half a month? That's not too late... "
Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
To be able to earn three spirit stones in half a month was already a decent result.
"Guild Leader Liu, what do we do now?" Mu Yangfeng asked.
"Since we have the pill formula, we have to forge the pill. Help me gather the medicinal herbs..."
Zhang Xuan.
"Even though the Frigid Yin Pill is a grade-4 pill, I've taken a look at it previously, and the medicinal herbs aren't too rare. Our Apothecary Guild can gather all of them, just that... Even if we manage to gather the medicinal herbs, without a 4-star apothecary, we won't be able to forge it!"
Mu Yangfeng looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
Apothecary Hong Yun was also perplexed.
In the entire Tianwu Kingdom Apothecary Guild, the most skilled apothecary was only at 3-star primary stage. As such, it was impossible for him to forge a grade-4 pill!
Even if they knew the pill formula and gathered the medicinal herbs, it would be useless if no one could forge it!
"Who says that we can't forge a grade-4 pill without a 4-star apothecary?" Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually. "Don't I still have you? You just have to forge it for me... "
"Me?"
Shocked, Mu Yangfeng nearly fainted on the spot.
He was well aware of the other party's capabilities. It was due to the other party's guidance that a 2-star pinnacle cultivator was able to forge a grade-3 pill...
Grade-4?
He didn't even dare to think about it!
"Don't worry, I'll give you some pointers after we find the medicinal herbs!"
Knowing what the other party was worried about, Zhang Xuan consoled.
"You'll give me pointers?" After a moment of hesitation, Mu Yangfeng looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully. "Can I really succeed?"
If it were anyone else, they would surely think that the other party was bragging. However, the young man before him had created too many miracles ever since he met him. Perhaps, he might really be able to guide him into forging a grade-4 pill.
"Don't worry, even if I don't succeed, I won't fail. At most, the cauldron will explode... "
Zhang Xuan said nonchalantly.
"Cauldron explode?" Mu Yangfeng's mouth twitched, and he nearly fainted on the spot. "Do you know how powerful a grade-4 pill will be if it explodes?"
Even though there was only a difference of a single grade between a grade-4 pill and a grade-3 pill, there was an intrinsic difference between the two. It was just like the metamorphosis of a weapon from Phantom to Spirit!
If a normal grade-4 pill were to explode, even a Zhizun realm expert would be killed on the spot if he was caught off guard... Needless to say, Zongshi realm experts like them!
At most, the cauldron would explode...
If it were to really explode, the entire Apothecary Guild would be gone.
"It can even blow up the entire Apothecary Guild?" Hearing the explanation, Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Initially, he thought that a cauldron explosion would be similar to what happened to Mo Yu back at the Beast Hall, so it wouldn't cause too much damage. He didn't expect a grade-4 pill to be so powerful.
"Un. Not only is a cauldron explosion dangerous, the medicinal herbs for a grade-4 pill are extremely valuable as well. Even though our guild is able to gather all of them, the value of the pill is immeasurable! Just one set would require … three spirit stones to buy all of them! Converting that into gold coins, it would be impossible for it to be less than a hundred million... "
Apothecary Mu continued.
"Three spirit stones? A hundred million gold coins? "
Before Apothecary Mu could finish his words, the young man's body swayed. Then, with bloodshot eyes, he walked up to the Wall of Pill Formulae once more. With a righteous expression, he picked up a brush and casually wrote a line of words, "Is the apothecary on the other side still around? Do you have any more questions? Three spirit stones to answer one question. The more questions you have, the better. I can answer all of them... "
"..."
Mu Yangfeng.
"..." Jiang Chen and Apothecary Hong Yun.
Opposite.
"..." Guild Leader Su Xing.
