Editor: Atlas Studios The next day, Mu Qianyue opened her eyes, a trace of joy appearing on her beautiful little face.
Under the effect of the Essence Nourishing Liquid, she had broken through another rank, becoming a Sixth Rank True Martial Artist!
Moreover, she could clearly feel that her meridians were a bit wider than before and her True Essence Power had become purer.
She sniffed the stink on her body, her clothes were also sticking with a lot of filth and grease.
This was the effect of the Essence Nourishing Liquid cleansing her tendons and marrow, once again expelling the impurities from her body.
She took a comfortable hot bath and changed into clean clothes.
Then Mu Qianyue refined five bottles of Essence Nourishing Liquid, three bottles of beauty cream, and two bottles of Anti-aging Water, before heading out to the pharmacy on South Main Street.
“What medicine do you need, miss?
Our shop has it all,” the shopkeeper of the pharmacy said smilingly when he saw Mu Qianyue come in.
Mu Qianyue shook her head, “I’m not here to buy herbs this time, I’m here to sell pills.
This is my self-made Essence Nourishing Liquid, take a look and tell me how much it’s worth?” As she spoke, she handed over a bottle of Essence Nourishing Liquid.
The pharmacy shopkeeper’s eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this, seemingly not expecting the young girl before him to actually be able to refine medicine!
After all, she looked no more than fifteen years old!
Though stunned for a moment, the shopkeeper quickly came to his senses and his expression became respectful, “Miss, are you a pharmacist?”
She nodded, neither confirming nor denying.
Pharmacists are respected wherever they go!
Because a high-level pharmacist can bring prosperity to a family, and even some prominent families and empires compete for such talent with heavy investments and resources!
Pharmacists have extensive connections, so many would rather offend a strong person than a pharmacist.
The pharmacy shopkeeper took the Essence Nourishing Liquid with a slightly serious expression and said, “I need to have Master Lin appraise this bottle of Essence Nourishing Liquid, miss, please wait a moment.”
With that, he turned and went into the back hall of the pharmacy.
“Master Lin, this is an Essence Nourishing Liquid that a customer wants to sell, it needs your appraisal,” the shopkeeper said respectfully, looking at the man who was sitting in a grand chair with his eyes half-closed.
“Bring it here,” Lin Xu opened his eyes, his expression indifferent and extremely arrogant.
As he received the small bottle and opened the cap, a faint fragrance immediately drifted out, the scent was distant, prolonged, and pleasantly refreshing, quickly filling the entire room.
Lin Xu quickly stood up from the chair, his face full of shock and excitement, “This—where is the person who refined this medicine?”
“Outside…” Seeing the radiance in Lin Xu’s eyes, the shopkeeper was momentarily stunned and hastily replied.
However, before he could finish speaking, Lin Xu turned his body and left the back hall, entering the outer shop.
With narrowed eyes, he saw inside the shop a maiden of stunning beauty, seemingly no older than fifteen, with no one else present besides her.
“Master Lin, this young lady is the one who refined this medicine,” the shopkeeper followed and explained.
“Was this Essence Nourishing Liquid really refined by you?” Lin Xu’s eyes flared with astonishment, the concentration and purity of efficacy in this Essence Nourishing Liquid were much higher than normal, even higher than his own ability.
In his imagination, the person capable of refining such medicine would be someone much older.
Meeting Mu Qianyue so young naturally stunned him.
Mu Qianyue nodded, “Yes, is there a problem with my medicine?”
“There is no problem with the Essence Nourishing Liquid,” Lin Xu pondered and added, “Do you have a mentor?
Was this Essence Nourishing Liquid truly refined by you?”
Mu Qianyue slightly frowned, it was apparent this so-called Master Lin did not trust her, “Does this have anything to do with selling my Essence Nourishing Liquid?
You only need to tell me whether you’re buying it or not.”
A trace of displeasure flashed in Lin Xu’s eyes, since becoming a pharmacist, no one had ever dared to disrespect him.
After pondering for a while, he offered a reasonable price, “Buying, this bottle of Essence Nourishing Liquid for fifty thousand Gold Coins.”
“Alright, I have three more bottles to sell to you,” seeing the price was reasonable, Mu Qianyue nodded, taking out three more small bottles.
Upon confirming there was no problem with these three bottles of Essence Nourishing Liquid, Lin Xu indicated the shopkeeper to pay two hundred thousand Gold Coins.
With money in hand, Mu Qianyue turned to leave, Lin Xu’s voice sounded behind her, “Miss, I am a Fourth Grade Alchemist, an elder of the Spirit Medicine Workshop, and a Guest Elder of Phoenix Shadow Country.
I wish to take you as my disciple now.”
Rather than a request, it was more an order, his tone filled with arrogance, as if it were a great gift, as if Mu Qianyue should kneel, worship, and thank him at the next moment.
Mu Qianyue’s eyes flickered with cold disdain, a Fourth Grade Alchemist, huh?
“I fear you’ll be disappointed, Master,” she continued heading outside without stopping.
With Lin Xu’s attainment as a Fourth Grade Alchemist, along with his status and power, he was indeed popular wherever he went, deserving of worship and admiration, yet she was unimpressed, detesting his mood of lofty arrogance.
“Think it over, opportunities like this don’t come often!
You are only a pharmacist now, not an alchemist.
If you apprentice under me, I can impart all my life’s knowledge, my experience in refining medicine, and control over the fire, enough to make you a household name and famous alchemist!” If these Essence Nourishing Liquids were truly her refinement, she had tremendous talent.
With training, her prospects were limitless.
Seeing Mu Qianyue continue to walk away, Lin Xu hurriedly said, “Furthermore, you should not have summoned Soul Fire yet, pharmacists and alchemists are different, to become a true alchemist, one must summon the Soul Fire, I can help with that!”
“I’m sorry, I cannot accept your offer, you have misplaced your favor, Master,” Mu Qianyue stopped, despite her apology her expression remained indifferent and distant, showing no trace of regret, then turned around and left without looking back.
Lin Xu’s face turned ashen, hatefully watching Mu Qianyue’s departing figure, seething with anger, wasn’t she just a girl who had gotten full of herself due to her exceptional talent?
Humph!
Someday she would beg him to accept her!
The pharmacy shopkeeper was already too shocked to speak.
Across Phoenix Shadow Country and even the continent, countless people wished to apprentice under Lin Xu, yet his eyes were always set high, disregarding everyone.
Today, he voluntarily offered to take a disciple but was mercilessly rejected!
“Hehe, how amusing, there’s still someone who dares to refuse Lin Xu in this world.” Across the eaves, lay an old man in tattered clothes and disheveled hair, his skin slightly dark, temples full of green stubble, looking quite scruffy.
With eyes half-open, he chuckled while taking a swig from a gourd dangling from his waist.
