"Rustle …"
The powdered Stone Skin Potion was put into small bottles one by one. Some water was put into the bottles, and the medicinal essence and swallow's ears began to mix and dissolve in the water, emitting a sizzling sound. In total, 25 bottles were filled. In order to be worthy of the money spent by Eagle Eye, Lin Muyu did not become a black-hearted merchant. Otherwise, it would not be a problem to fill 40 bottles with these ingredients.
Chu Yao held her chin in her hands, curiously looking at the small bottles. She was an Alchemist, and could only refine level 3 potions at most. She had only heard of this Stone Skin Potion, and her starry eyes stared at it. It was said that serious men were the best looking, but infatuated women were the most charming. Although her clothes were simple, it could not conceal the charm of a mature girl.
Lin Muyu found it funny, and asked: "Sister Chu Yao, do you want to try?"
"Ah? How? "
"Smear a small amount on the skin, or drink a bottle in one go, and the whole body will have Stone Skin. The duration is related to the person's constitution." Lin Muyu was quite familiar with these things.
Chu Yao raised her eyebrows, and her body exuded a faint fragrance. She sat next to Lin Muyu, and moved closer: "Is it really possible?"
"Yes!" Lin Muyu was a bit flustered by her scorching gaze. Not only was this senior sister's face very beautiful, but her figure was also very good. She belonged to the type with D breasts and a perky butt. Now that she was showing great affection for Lin Muyu, it was natural that Lin Muyu could not bear it.
… …
Thus, Chu Yao held onto the chair, and slightly twisted her butt closer to the table. She then used a spoon to scoop a little bit of the Stone Skin Potion, and smeared a light layer on her wrist. With a rustling sound, a light blue luster appeared on the surface of her wrist, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a tortoiseshell layer of energy. Her arm was a bit numb, but she could clearly feel that the defense of her arm was much stronger.
"This …" She opened her small mouth and said in shock, "Is this kind of defense really that strong?"
Lin Muyu began to eat. This chicken stewed with mushrooms was just heated up by Chu Yao not long ago. It was very fragrant. It was the first time he had eaten something so delicious since he came to this world. He was the young master of the Long Xin Group and had a net worth of over a hundred million. His life in this world was too miserable. As he ate, he looked up at Chu Yao and said with a smile, "You can try hitting your arm with a stick."
"Yes."
Chu Yao picked up a small wooden stick from the side and lightly tapped it against her wrist. "Pa!" A light rippled, but she didn't feel any pain. Hence, she used more force to tap it again, but she still didn't feel any pain. In the end, she used more force, and the wooden stick was directly broken. Her wrist felt a slight itch. It seemed that using the Stoneskin Potion didn't necessarily mean that there would be no pain. When the degree of impact was large enough, there would definitely be pain.
…
After quickly finishing the meal, Lin Muyu began to refine the paralysis potion.
It wasn't difficult to refine the medicinal essence of the Demon Snake Flower and Golden Silk Grass, but the difficult part was that the medicinal essence of the two conflicted with each other. It would take some effort to mix them together. Lin Muyu had the Essence Condensing Hand, so the medicinal essence of the Demon Snake Flower and Golden Silk Grass was definitely one of the best in this world in terms of refining medicinal essence. He had his own secret to this problem. The medicinal essence of the Demon Snake Flower and Golden Silk Grass needed to be mixed at a high temperature. Those lower level alchemists used an iron pot to stir-fry, but that was bound to cause impurities to mix and affect the medicinal effect.
Lin Muyu's method was to raise a pile of flames and then use the Essence Condensing Hand to control the medicinal essence to burn on the flames, directly evaporating the medicinal essence. However, above the flames was a clean iron pot with a small amount of water. The evaporated medicinal essence would condense and dissolve in the water. In addition, Lin Muyu used the Essence Condensing Hand to guide the medicinal essence's steam, so there wasn't much leakage. Very quickly, ten bottles of high grade paralysis potion were successfully concocted.
Late at night, Chu Yao went back to sleep, and Lin Muyu also returned to his room.
His whole body was tired, and the qi in his body was almost completely drained, but Lin Muyu could clearly feel that the qi flowing in his meridians was becoming stronger and stronger. In this world, the Essence Condensing Hand was a method of refining qi. It could make one's qi stronger and stronger, and the body's strength would also slowly recover. He could clearly feel that the power of his punch was not to be underestimated.
However, compared to Hawkeye, who was ridiculously strong, it seemed that the disparity was too great.
… …
The next morning, he woke up early and carried his medicine box. Today, only Lin Muyu and Chu Yao went to deliver the goods. It was still at the market, and after waiting for less than an hour, Hawkeye arrived with a large group of mercenaries. Moreover, this time he brought a lot of mercenaries, no less than a hundred people, fully equipped and fully armed. Moreover, all of them were riding on horses.
"Is the goods I asked for ready, kid?" Hawkeye stopped in front of the stall.
Lin Muyu handed over a total of thirty bottles of medicine, saying, "You still owe me twenty Jin Yin coins."
Hawkeye's eyebrows rose, and he dismounted, grabbing a bottle of Stoneskin Medicine and sniffing it. His expression was a bit strange, "Kid, you … don't tell me you really have an alchemy saint at home? As far as I know, in all of Cathaya City, only the city lord Hua Tian has the qualifications to be an alchemy saint. You … you don't know him, do you? "
"I don't."
Lin Muyu shook his head, "I refine all the medicines myself."
At this time, the sound of hooves could be heard as a young man dressed in a long white robe rode over. His clothes were adorned with the insignia of the Purple Yinghua Flower, and there were many embroidered patterns on it. It was obvious at a glance that he was a wealthy man. He glanced at Lin Muyu, then at the medicine, and sneered, "Since ancient times, those who have the ability to refine the black iron tree's medicinal energy have been at least thirty-five years old. This kid's words are too full of himself, and I can tell at a glance that he's a swindler. Captain Hawkeye, don't you need an important person to capture the Bloodthirsty Tiger? I think he's more suitable! "
"Many thanks for the reminder, young city lord!"
Hawkeye put away the thirty bottles of medicine, a trace of killing intent flashing across his smiling face. He said to Lin Muyu, "Although your medicines are all first and second grade, but … I'm not sure if they're as effective as the legends say. How about this, you come with us, and if we can successfully complete our mission, I'll pay you 20 Jin Yin coins as promised. How about it?"
"Go with us? Where? "
"To the Seven Star Forest. Our mission this time is to hunt a 3000 year old spirit beast for the young city lord — the Bloodthirsty Tiger!"
Lin Muyu didn't know the pros and cons of this, but Chu Yao was stunned. She hurriedly blocked in front of Lin Muyu, saying, "No … Yu won't go with you to kill the Bloodthirsty Tiger. If you want to go, then go by yourself!"
Hawkeye chuckled, "Oh, little beauty, are you unwilling to let your little man die? Don't worry, our Flame Hawk Mercenary Band won't let him die. "
Chu Yao clenched her teeth and firmly said, "No! A 3000 year old Bloodthirsty Tiger's strength is at least equivalent to a level 60 Sky Sovereign. You … you're only a level 42 Battle Elder. There's a huge difference of two realms. Even if you have more people, you may not be able to kill the Bloodthirsty Tiger! "
Hawkeye raised his eyebrows and pointed behind him, saying, "You're looking down on us too much. Do you see, we have bows and arrows smeared with paralysis medicine, and even a large ballista. The Bloodthirsty Tiger is just an idiot, how could it be our opponent?"
Saying this, Hawkeye opened his hand and grabbed Lin Muyu's arm, saying, "Come on, kid!"
Lin Muyu was anxious and suddenly raised her right fist. True energy condensed around her and struck Hawkeye's right arm with a "bang". The dull sound startled the surrounding people. Hawkeye was even more stunned as a faint pain came from his arm. He sneered, "Good boy, you're also a martial artist?"
"I'm not a martial artist, don't take me …" Lin Muyu was naturally afraid of death.
"What if I have to take you today?"
"No!"
"Is that so?"
Hawkeye pointed his finger and said, "One-eyed Dragon, go capture that girl and tie her up. I want to see if this kid is willing to catch the Bloodthirsty Tiger with us!"
"Yes, Captain!"
A mercenary who was blind in one eye immediately stepped forward to grab Chu Yao, but he didn't think that Chu Yao's body would suddenly sink. Her palm was enshrouded in four leaf-shaped True Qi, and with a "bang" she cleverly struck the mercenary's chest, unexpectedly causing him to vomit blood.
"Huh?"
Hawkeye was shocked, saying, "Two-leaf Warlord? This little beauty actually has the strength of a level 19 Warlord? Hahaha, interesting! "
Saying this, Hawkeye let out a roar and used one hand to threaten Lin Muyu and the other to grab Chu Yao. His aura was astonishing, and flames actually appeared in his palm. Rolling flames wrapped around his fingers as he grabbed Chu Yao. How could Chu Yao resist? With a muffled groan, the True Qi in his palm instantly collapsed, and she fell into Hawkeye's hands.
"Tie them up and give them a horse. Take them away!"
Hawkeye shouted. A few minutes later, Lin Muyu's hands were tied and thrown onto a horse. Chu Yao's hands were slightly looser and thrown behind Lin Muyu. A mercenary led the horse out of the city just like that. Everything had happened so quickly that no one tried to stop them.
Perhaps no one dared to stop them either. Who didn't know of Hawkeye's infamous reputation in Cathaya City?
… …
The bumpy ride out of the city quickly left the main road and entered a dense forest.
Chu Yao hugged Lin Muyu from behind, silent.
"Sister Chu Yao, I'm sorry, it's all my fault …" Lin Muyu could only apologize after enduring for a long time.
Chu Yao smiled, "It's fine. I just hope that these mercenaries will let us go after confirming the medicine's effects …"
"How could it be so easy?"
Lin Muyu smiled bitterly. Although he was younger than Chu Yao by a year, he had experienced more things and he knew how sinister people could be. This group of mercenaries obviously had another purpose for bringing the two of them along. He just hoped that it wasn't for that sinister purpose.
Behind him, Chu Yao stuck close to him, a pair of tall and plump breasts pressed against Lin Muyu's back. However, he didn't have the mood to think about anything else right now. All he could think about was how to get out of this predicament.
… …
They walked for an entire day. In the blink of an eye, it was night time. However, the Flame Hawk Mercenary Group didn't seem to want to stop. After eating some dry rations, they continued deeper into the forest. The surroundings became more and more desolate. There were no signs of human habitation. They even met some ferocious beasts along the way, but they were all shot down by Hawkeye.
At midnight, they stopped to eat again.
"Sister Chu Yao, what exactly are the level 19 Warrior and level 42 Battle-Saint you mentioned?" Lin Muyu asked while eating.
Chu Yao sighed and said, "The empire values martial arts. Almost everyone can cultivate martial arts. It's just that some people have high achievements and some have low achievements. According to their strength, all cultivators are divided into 15 levels and five major realms. The five major realms are the Human Realm, Earth Realm, Heaven Realm, Holy Realm and God Realm. Each realm is divided into three levels. The specific classification of the Human Realm, Earth Realm and Heaven Realm are: Warrior, Warrior, Battle Spirit, Battle Master, Battle Venerable, Battle Sage, Heavenly King and Heavenly Emperor. Each level is further divided into 10 levels. For example, my strength is measured at level 19. I'm classified as the second level of the Human Realm, and Hawkeye is the second level of the Earth Realm, Battle Venerable."
Lin Muyu was stunned. There were too many levels. She was most likely at level 1, so it wasn't convenient for her to ask too much. She said, "Why are they hunting 3000 year old spirit beasts?"
"Probably for the spirit of the beast or spirit stones?"
"…" He didn't understand again. He looked like a complete rookie.
…
Right at this moment, the luxuriously dressed young man appeared once more. He held a jug of wine in his hand, and his face was filled with a mocking smile as he said, "You two baits are quite congenial. Don't you know that death is approaching?"
Chu Yao raised her head and said angrily, "Who are you?"
"You don't even know my young master, Hua Wan. How dare you …" He was about to talk non-stop when he found that the girl in front of him was a stunning beauty!
Was he the Hua Wan who became a Grand Apothecary at such a young age?
Chu Yao was secretly shocked. But when she saw Hua Wan's lewd smile, she felt goosebumps and couldn't say anything for a while.
