Some herbs had medicinal properties that complemented each other, while some would repel or restrain each other.
An outstanding alchemist had to understand this.
The competition this time was to send a peerless genius to the Pill Pagoda for the assessment. They did not want a dull person who only knew how to immerse himself in refining pills.
An alchemist who only knew how to follow the formula was an alchemist who did not have the ambition to improve himself. His achievements in life were almost fixed and would not have much room for improvement.
Grandmaster Gu Ye's eyes flashed with disappointment when he saw the scene of the cauldrons exploding one after another.
He had taken Zhou Tianwei as his personal disciple for two reasons. Firstly, her talent was not bad. Secondly, Zhou Tianwei did not care much about fame and fortune. She was not like the disciples of other families who were obsessed with the pursuit of power.
Soon, the cauldrons of those who were supposed to be eliminated had exploded. They could only leave the stage in confusion and resentment.
Out of the hundreds of alchemists who had gone through the two tests, only less than ten remained.
Even one of the four alchemists on the high platform had left the stage.
It had to be said that although Wang Muyu was arrogant and despotic, he was still very capable. He also successfully refined pills.
However, what made him unhappy was that Qin Yichen had managed to get away with it again!
As the second round was coming to an end, the person Lu Heshang had sent out to gather information returned from the spectator seats.
After all, the incident with Flyer had caused quite a stir.
Although not many people here had seen Qin Yichen in person, they more or less knew about Flyer.
"What? You're saying that the kid is Flyer?"
Lu Heshang could not remain calm. His eyes were filled with shock.
The fact that Grandmaster Guye and the Zhou Tianwei were collaborating with a small, unknown chamber of commerce had long since spread throughout King City.
Some people guessed that Flyer was just lucky.
Others thought that Grandmaster Gu Ye had developed a new formula and wanted to earn some profits, so he had casually found a merchant guild.
"According to the information I received, he should know the young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Tianwei."
That person replied respectfully.
"You mean that the kid was the one who came up with the formulas for Flyer's new pills?"
Lv Heshang raised his eyebrows.
"If that wasn't the case, with Young Master Zhou around, the fertile water wouldn't have flowed into an outsider's field …"
Lv and Shang fell silent.
Like most people, he first thought that the mastermind behind the Flyer incident was Master Guye, but now it seemed that it was the young man standing on the bluestone platform.
"This matter is a little troublesome …"
Lu Heshang opened his mouth and frowned.
If it was just a Zhou Tianwei inside, even if he had the backing of the Zhou Family, they would still give in to him. However, Grandmaster Gu Ye was different. That eccentric old man would definitely point at his nose and scold him before kicking him out of the Alchemist Guild.
"Looks like I can only let him come over willingly."
Lv Heshang's eyes flickered. It was unknown what he was thinking about. He didn't even notice Lv Heshang's arrival.
It was already the third round of the finals. As the king, he naturally had to show his face.
However, his mood wasn't very good recently.
In the depths of the Royal Palace, for some unknown reason, strange insects and beasts kept popping out from his residence. The blanket he slept in, the bowl he ate in, the study table …. Almost every corner of his residence was filled with various unknown insects, causing him to lose his appetite and unable to sleep at night.
It was simply …
Lv Heshang had never hated insects as much as he did now!
What he couldn't understand was that the Cloud Leopard which was pulling his carriage had actually taken advantage of him being unprepared and bit him when he passed by.
It was simply as if all the insects and beasts viewed him as an enemy!
Until one day, Lv Heshang saw that eccentric little girl.
Which was the daughter that Lv Linghan gave birth to. She named her …. Ling 'er.
She didn't have a surname.
Little Ling'er walked to the flowerbed as butterflies danced around her. Insects and ants made way for her.
She walked past the pond and the fishes in the pond circled around her.
Even those wild beasts which had yet to be tamed in the Royal Palace became extremely docile when they saw her.
At that moment, Lv Heshang understood. It turned out that this little girl was taking revenge on him.
However, he didn't care about this. What he cared about was Little Ling'er's innate ability.
This was too terrifying. His Cloud Leopard which was pulling his carriage was an existence at the peak of the second realm of Martial Grandmaster. For her to be able to use it, this was simply …. He already didn't know how to describe it.
There was definitely something strange.
Thus, Lv Heshang thought of ways to please Little Ling'er.
However ….
Little Ling'er completely ignored him. Her face was completely filled with disdain.
Thus, Lv Heshang's current mood wasn't very good.
"What are you unhappy about? Tell me and make me happy."
Seeing Lv Heshang's face full of worry, he sat beside him.
In front of this royal brother, he didn't put on any airs of status.
"Sigh …."
Lv Heshang weakly glanced at him and said, "The Merchant Alliance is about to be destroyed and you still have the mood to joke."
"Cough cough …."
Lv Heshang, who originally wanted to relieve his gloomy mood, almost spat out the mouthful of tea he just drank. Even so, he choked on the tea and glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can the Merchant Alliance be destroyed?!"
"In the future, the kingdom's Merchant Alliance will be monopolized by that kid."
Lv Heshang pointed at Qin Yichen who was on the bluestone platform.
"This person …. Which family's junior is he?"
Lv Heshang had a record of the outstanding juniors of the four great clans. However, this young man in front of him was very unfamiliar.
"I also don't know where he came from. However, his ability is great …."
After saying that, Lv Heshang explained Flyer's situation one by one.
"Compound Elixir?!"
Lv Heshang was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
As the ruler of a kingdom, he couldn't be clearer about the value of Qin Yichen's Origin Healing Elixir.
In addition to the Vitality Elixir.
If these two elixirs were to be promoted to a kingdom that was at war ….
"Royal brother, do you still think that he doesn't have the ability to monopolize the kingdom's economy?"
Lv Heshang was silent.
Monopolizing the Celestial Qilin's economy was more than that. Once it was promoted, who would want other elixirs?!
"Royal brother, I'm sure you also know that this kind of person is not someone we can control. The only hope is to turn him into … one of our own."
Lv Heshang raised his eyebrows at him and dragged out the last three words.
He only had one son. Naturally, he couldn't turn Qin Yichen into one of his own.
However, Lv Heshang had several princesses ….
"You bastard, you're actually scheming against me!"
Lv Heshang immediately understood his intentions. He stood up and snorted, "The Merchant Alliance is your business. I only care about the kingdom's affairs!"
