There were many small rooms on the gymnasium. Carmelita dragged Han Shuo to a secluded corner and asked in a low voice, "Why were you gone for so long?"
"I was delayed by some people on the way. That's why I've only returned now." Han Shuo casually explained before he asked, "Oh right, you came to my Celestial Pearl Pharmacy twice. Did something happen?"
"Of course!" Carmelita replied, "The first time I visited you was to tell you to leave some of the medicines you refined for those two fellas. The second time I visited you was about Andrina. Have you been separated from her? "
Han Shuo's heart sank when he heard Carmelita mention Andrina. He nodded and replied, "That's right, I have indeed been separated from Andrina. How did you know?"
"Andrina seems to have run into some trouble and is slightly injured. She contacted the local divine guards in Fort Vaca and had someone send me a message. She said that while you were distracting the godhunters, she was bringing your friends to the City of Shadows. She ran into some trouble and was slightly injured. She told you not to worry for the time being and that she will bring your friends back safely. "
"Andrina is injured?!" Han Shuo's expression changed. He hastily asked, "What else did she say? Did she say who injured her? "
"No," Carmelita replied straightforwardly. Carmelita said straightforwardly, "She only told me to tell you not to worry, that your friends are fine!"
Han Shuo's face turned gloomy. He asked in a low voice, "I have clearly lured the godhunters away. How could Andrina be injured in the City of Shadows? Who exactly did she run into? The major family clans in the City of Shadows know that Andrina is a member of my Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Logically speaking, they wouldn't do anything to her. Other than those major family clans, who else in the City of Shadows could injure Andrina? This is very strange! "
"Don't worry, Andrina said that she will be fine. She will return safely to the City of Shadows after some time!" Carmelita consoled.
"Yes, I know." Han Shuo nodded and said to Carmelita, "Thank you. If Andrina has any other messages for you, remember to inform me!"
"I understand," Carmelita agreed.
"Alright, I'll go back and refine the medicine. It might take a while." Han Shuo had no intention of staying any longer after learning about the situation from Carmelita. He notified Carmelita and returned to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
The reason Andrina had sent a message to Carmelita was because she knew of Carmelita's influence in the City of Shadows. Besides, she trusted Carmelita. Most of the people in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy were pharmacists. The only combat expert was Akley. Unfortunately, Akley's strength was too weak. Even if she sent a message to him, it would be useless.
On his way back to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, Han Shuo was hesitating whether he should look for Andrina. After much consideration, Han Shuo decided to stay in the City of Shadows for the time being. The City of Shadows was vast and it would be difficult to search for someone amidst the lofty mountains and precipitous ridges. Besides, Han Shuo had no way of ascertaining which region Andrina was in. If he were to search for Andrina recklessly, the chances of him finding her would be very slim.
In the end, Han Shuo decided to stay in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy for the time being. He had confidence in Andrina's strength. Since she said that she could bring Fanny and the others safely back to the City of Shadows, Han Shuo believed that she could do it. Han Shuo would ask Andrina about the accident that happened on the way back to the City of Shadows.
The news of Han Shuo's return to the City of Shadows was quickly made known to all the family clans. When they heard that Han Shuo was going to personally refine new medicines, they sent people to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy to reserve them. In no time at all, the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy was filled with an endless stream of people. Even the medicines refined by ordinary pharmacists were sold.
At present, Han Shuo's room was equipped with a specialized pill-refining chamber. There were large cabinets that could store all kinds of medicinal ingredients. The plentiful medicine refining utensils were merely for decoration. Han Shuo declined all distractions and focused on refining new medicines in the pill-refining chamber.
While Han Shuo was calming down to refine new medicines, his two avatars inside the Cauldron of Myriad Demon were not idling around either. After absorbing the divine energy from the godhunters' bodies, the two avatars had made progress. His avatar of destruction was on the verge of breaking through to midgod realm. The divine energy in his body was sufficient and all that was left was an epiphany.
His avatar of death seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to midgod realm very soon. This made Han Shuo very happy. He thought to himself that if he ever lacked divine energy in the future, killing godhunters would be a shortcut for him to make rapid progress. When that time came, he would go to those vast mountain ranges and hunt godhunters of the same energy to accumulate enough divine energy.
… …
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.
After all the new medicines were refined, Han Shuo officially came out of seclusion. In two months, his avatar of death had successfully broken through to midgod realm. However, his avatar of destruction had yet to break through to midgod realm.
If only he could fuse with the divine soul of a midgod of destruction, the speed of his breakthrough would be much faster. Han Shuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
His avatar of death had once fused with the divine soul of a midgod in the Void. As long as he had sufficient divine energy to support him, he would be able to make a breakthrough without much effort. After attaining the divine realm, one's understanding of one's energy was of utmost importance. Even if one had sufficient divine energy, one would not be able to make a breakthrough after every breakthrough.
Unfortunately, Han Shuo's good days were coming to an end. The divine soul of a midgod that his avatar of death had fused with was merely a mid-stage midgod of death. In other words, if Han Shuo's avatar of death wished to make any progress, he would have to rely on himself to comprehend the energy of death. That was as far as he could go with the divine soul he had fused with.
Not long after Han Shuo walked out of the pellet refinement lab, he discovered that many divine guards from major family clans had gathered outside the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. When they had nothing to do, they would stroll around the pharmacy and buy some ordinary medicines.
When they saw Han Shuo walk out of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, they were indescribably excited. They hastily rushed over to Han Shuo and saluted him, expressing their eagerness for Han Shuo's medicines on behalf of the higher-ups of their family clans.
"In three days, the medicines that I personally refined will be on sale in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Tell your family clans to buy them," Han Shuo said loudly when he saw that a dozen divine guards had surrounded him.
Upon hearing those words, the divine guards retreated one after another and disappeared from the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. It seemed that they were in a hurry to return to their masters to report the situation.
After those people left, Han Shuo immediately notified Anito and asked him to spread the word that the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy would be selling the medicines he had personally refined in three days. This time, not only were they targeted at the major family clans, but as long as one had enough crystal coins, any god who came early could purchase the medicine with the black crystal coins they had on hand.
Han Shuo intended to thoroughly spread the fame of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, suppressing all the pharmacies in the City of Shadows in one fell swoop. This way, he would make the name of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy reverberate like thunder in everyone's ears.
Those gods and outsiders who purchased Han Shuo's medicines would certainly spread the fame of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy as they traveled to various Divine Dominions. This would bring direct benefits to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
Although Anito's strength was average, he was an expert when it came to such matters. With his help, every region in the City of Shadows was covered in brochures. In no time at all, many gods in seclusion learned of the news.
The sale of Han Shuo's medicines immediately became a grand occasion in the City of Shadows. Not only did the residents of the City express their strong interest, but many gods from other cities and those who came to trade were also talking about the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy with the help of the residents of the City.
… …
Three days later …
The Celestial Pearl Pharmacy was packed with people. It was as though all the people in the City of Shadows had gathered in this place. There were people as far as the eye could see. Some were in groups of family clans, some were in individual groups, and some were in groups of three to five. They were roaming around the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
Even before the medicines refined by Han Shuo were ready to be sold, the ordinary medicines sold in the store had already been sold for fifty to sixty thousand black crystal coins. Everyone in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy was bustling with activity. They were hastily tallying the sales and displaying the new medicines.
Han Shuo stood on top of the tallest building in the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. He lowered his head and looked at the endless stream of people below. He thought to himself, If every time the medicines I personally refined could become a grand occasion in the City of Shadows, it would be a great achievement.
Han Shuo was in no hurry to display the medicines he personally refined. He continued to wait patiently. When it was noon, Han Shuo instructed Gu Li, "It's about time. Put the medicines I personally refined up for sale!"
"What about the people from the large family clans? Don't tell me they have to queue up like ordinary people? "Gu Li hesitated for a moment before she asked with uncertainty.
"Of course not. Go and make the arrangements immediately. Bring the leaders of those large family clans to the banquet hall where the pharmacists' gathering was held. These people from large family clans naturally have to be treated differently. After all, they are the main purchasers of my medicines, and on a long-term basis! "Han Shuo instructed smilingly.
Gu Li nodded after hearing Han Shuo's instructions and replied, "I understand."
Gu Li called out to the crowd before she left. The medicines that had been prepared long ago were placed in the cabinets that had long been empty. The crowd who had been waiting for a long time cheered loudly when they finally saw the medicines refined by Han Shuo being served.
There was no lack of wealthy people among these people. Having heard many rumors about the genius pharmacist Han Shuo, they were willing to spend large sums of money on medicines that Han Shuo had personally refined. Suddenly, the interior of the store became unbearably crowded, especially in the area where Han Shuo had personally refined medicines. It was so packed that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Inside a private banquet hall, a large oval table was placed at the center of the hall. Fine wine and delicacies were placed on top of it. All the influential people in the City of Shadows were gathered here. Portlem and Charlotte were among those who received the news.
It was at this moment that Rugersey, who was standing in front of the door, looked at Han Shuo rather awkwardly and said, "This … that … it's been so long. Mister Brian wouldn't still hold a grudge against me, would he?"
During this period of time, Rugersey had spent a lot of money on the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy in order to improve his relationship with Han Shuo. He would often send people to deliver small gifts to Han Shuo as an apology for the incident.
Rugersey had been humbling himself in front of Han Shuo for a long time. Today, even Andre started to speak up for him, "Brian, just let it go. It's not easy for Rugersey to do what he did. Today is an auspicious day for your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Give me some face and let the matter go."
In fact, Han Shuo had long since given up on the matter. He nodded after hearing Andre's words. When Rugersey saw Han Shuo nod, he immediately walked in with a beaming face. He found a seat, filled his glass with wine, raised his glass to Han Shuo from afar and said, "Cheers!"
Rugersey had expressed sufficient sincerity. Han Shuo had no choice but to give him face in front of so many people. He also raised his glass and drained it. Then, he smilingly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, I will only personally refine medicines once every five years. This time, only three-tenths of the medicines will be sold outside. The rest will be prepared for you."
Upon finishing those words, Han Shuo clapped his hands. Enormous glass containers were pushed out. Inside the containers were bottles of medicines of various colors. They were neatly arranged and their prices were obvious at a glance.
The members of the major family clans stood up excitedly and hastily crowded around.
… …
At the entrance of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, Andrina and a group of people were stunned when they saw the endless stream of people.
"Andrina, is this Brian's Celestial Pearl Pharmacy?" Emily asked the little girl beside her in astonishment.
Andrina nodded and put on a faint smile. She replied, "Yeah, isn't it awesome?"
"It's so lively! It's as though everyone in the City of Shadows is here. How did Brian do it? How did he attract so many people? " Phoebe softly cried out and said, "I remember that Brian isn't particularly good at doing business. How did he become so awesome on Elysium?"
"It's because the medicines he refined are awesome!" Angelina explained, "Bryan is a famous genius pharmacist in the City of Shadows. All the large family clans in the City of Shadows would fight over the medicines he personally refined. Judging from the situation today, I reckon that he has started selling the medicines he personally refined again!"
Andrina had been with Han Shuo for some time. After some observation, she immediately guessed the truth.
"Eh, it's Miss Angelina. Come in quickly." He turned his body sideways and gestured for Andrina to enter. "Follow me, everyone. Let's go find Brian," Andrina nodded and led the way inside.
The crowd followed behind her. "Everyone, follow me. Let's go find Brian," Andrina nodded and led the way inside. Fanny and the others were amazed by the scene they saw along the way. They did not expect that Han Shuo would have such a huge business on Elysium!
