Lin Li was in a good mood after coming out of the so-called Jarrosus Exchange. When he was in the Sunset Mountains, Andoine forced him to go out to kill magical beasts every day. At that time, he had never thought that the magical crystals could be sold for money. He just felt that it was a waste to leave them lying around, so he picked them up every time he killed them. He didn't expect that he could earn his first income from these magical crystals a month or two later.
Because of his different experiences, Lin Li probably understood the power of money better than most mages in this world.
At first, he just didn't have time to think about this problem, but with Kevin's reminder, he quickly remembered his experience in the Endless World. If he didn't have that almost infinite money, he wouldn't have been able to have so many excellent materials, let alone train all his life skills to the highest level.
10,000 gold coins might be a huge sum in the eyes of many, but to Lin Li, it was just the beginning.
That afternoon, Lin Li swept through more than 20 herb stores. When he hired a carriage to bring the herbs back to the Emerald Tower, Gerian was so excited that he was in tears.
After waiting for decades, the Emerald Tower finally had a potion master. Damn the Pharmacists Association, you can go to hell!
Then, the two entered the guest room again. Even Kevin didn't know the content of their conversation.
Kevin only knew that after coming out of the guest room, Gerian smiled with satisfaction, and announced on the spot that from today onwards, everything in the Emerald Tower would be unconditionally open to Felic. He could go in and out of any place and look up any information at will.
This was probably the top privilege in the Emerald Tower apart from Gerian. Especially for a newbie mage who had just joined the guild a few days ago, it was a miracle.
Almost all the mages in the Emerald Tower couldn't understand why Gerian would make such a decision. To them, it was simply a joke. Even the pride of the Jarrosus Guild, the legendary mage Andoine, hadn't enjoyed such generous treatment in the Emerald Tower. What qualifications did this young mage who had just joined the guild a few days ago have to deserve such generous conditions from Gerian?
For a time, the Emerald Tower was in an uproar, and all kinds of rumors spread like wildfire. Some speculated whether the relationship between the two was normal, and some questioned whether Gerian was fair. There were even a few hot-tempered people who threatened Gerian to take back his decision by leaving the guild.
The Jarrosus Guild of Magic had always been lacking in talents. The withdrawal of a few mages above level-nine was a devastating disaster. Almost everyone thought that Gerian would definitely compromise. Otherwise, the Jarrosus Guild of Magic would completely disappear from Anril before the Supreme Council's evaluation three months later.
But they had all guessed wrong. Not only did Gerian not compromise this time, but he also took a tough approach, which was rare.
In just three days, the rumors within the guild were forcibly suppressed, and the few mages who threatened to quit were even chased out of the Guild of Magic that afternoon.
This time, the commotion came and went quickly. It was almost over before it started. Everything seemed to have returned to its original trajectory. Lin Li continued to loiter in the library every day. Occasionally, he would walk outside the Emerald Tower with Kevin to see if there was anything good in the magic store. The fat old man was still keen on giving pointers to young mages, and his method was still as unique as before …
The only discordant voice was probably the few mages who had been chased out of the guild.
Not to mention Gerian, even Lin Li had heard about it several times.
Recently, these few fellas were always together, and no one knew what they were discussing.
Apart from this one discordant voice, everything looked the same as before.
Under Gerian's tough approach, the small commotion was suppressed just like that. But everyone knew that these suppressed voices had never really disappeared. They were just patiently watching.
Once Lin Li made any mistake, or Gerian could not come up with a convincing reason, these voices would emerge from the shadows again, and they would be louder than the last time.
But to Lin Li, this was actually not a big deal.
After returning from Jarrosus Exchange, he had been very busy, so busy that he had no time to care about these things.
Every day, Lin Li would head straight to the library early in the morning. He had too much knowledge to cram. Sitting in the quiet library, Lin Li felt as though he had returned to the time before the college entrance examination. When he finally lifted his head from the pile of books, he would often return to the pharmaceutical lab without even bothering to eat. There, herbs worth thousands of gold coins were waiting for him.
And what Lin Li had to do was to turn these herbs worth thousands of gold coins into potions.
Even a potion master like Lin Li could not help but feel a headache when faced with so many herbs.
Moreover, there was still that old fellow Gerian. This fellow often ran to the pharmacy more diligently than anyone else in the name of concern. Especially when he looked at the bottles of completed potions, this fellow's drooling look made Lin Li want to chase him out of the pharmacy.
That day in the reception room, the two had already reached an agreement.
Lin Li would have privileges second only to the president in Jarrosus Guild of Magic, and correspondingly, the guild would have the priority to purchase the potions he produced. This was the reason why the fat old man came to the pharmacy every day.
Actually, in essence, the old man and the young man's characters were similar. They were both profiteers, but one was arrogant, while the other was low-key.
The agreement they reached was naturally full of utilitarian aura.
One hoped to maximize the benefits of being a potion master, while the other hoped to use as much of the guild's resources as possible for himself. Neither of these two bastards was good.
Lin Li was quite satisfied with this agreement. As a transmigrator, he knew better than anyone else the power of publicity, especially in a world of swords and magic. If he had the backing of a behemoth like the Jarrosus Guild of Magic, he would be able to sell his potions faster than others.
A large number of herbs were placed in different categories, and the originally empty pharmacy was once again filled with the fragrance of herbs. According to Lin Li's plan, this first batch of herbs would be used as much as possible on low-level potions. After all, this was just the beginning; it was far from the point where he could bring out his full capabilities.
But with his abilities as a potion master, even some low-level potions were enough to make Andoine's eyes light up. God knew how many years it had been since the mages in the Emerald Tower smelled the Tranquilizer Potion …
