"Show me." Master Chen said.

"This... "Yes!"

Stunned, the shopkeeper quickly picked up the bottle and handed it over to Master Chen. He smiled and said, "Master Chen, that's just a swindler, how could I trouble you to worry about it. Maybe he learned some pill refining techniques from somewhere and is already considered to be an apothecary!"

Master Chen nodded and said, "Let's take a look first."

Immediately, he removed the wooden stopper from the porcelain bottle.

Immediately, a refreshing fragrance wafted out from the porcelain bottle.

"How fragrant!"

This kind of fragrance could only be emitted from a high grade medicinal pill. Could it be that this medicinal liquid was really left over from refining a high grade medicinal pill?

At this moment, Master Chen's face had already turned serious. He placed the bottle on his nose and carefully smelled it. His eyes couldn't help but light up. This reaction caused the manager's face to go grim once again.

"That young man can't really be an apothecary, right?"

The storekeeper's heart began to thump, "If that's really the case, then..." "I drove away an apothecary just a moment ago, and he even spoke ill of me!"

He couldn't help but regret why he spoke so quickly. In order to gain credit, Master Chen had asked him about everything that had happened just now. He couldn't even change his mind now.

When he thought that he might have chased away an alchemist, he couldn't help but feel weak in his legs and turn pale. If Master Chen were to report this matter to him, he wouldn't be able to keep his position as a shopkeeper.

Don't overdo it! Don't overdo it!

However, Master Chen didn't have the time to pay attention to the storekeeper's thoughts. His expression was very solemn. He poured the solution from the bottle into his palm and dipped his finger in it. Then, he carefully tasted it.

Immediately, he frowned and said to himself, "It's actually a highly toxic Star Orchid Grass?" Hm? There was also a poisonous substance... Poisonous Vine?! "

Hearing that, the shopkeeper was startled, and his face immediately changed, and he cried out: "What?!" Poison? 'This is bad, Master Chen. That brat must have some malicious intents. He wants to poison our alchemist. This is such a good plan. If we use the medicinal liquid to appraise, he will definitely poison an alchemist … ' Someone! They immediately went after that little bastard. He just left, so he definitely hasn't gone far yet. To actually dare scheme against me, I must make him die without a burial ground … "

"That's not right!"

Master Chen suddenly shouted.

The shopkeeper was shocked and quickly asked, "Master Chen, where did I make the arrangements go wrong?"

Master Chen did not pay any attention to him, and instead muttered to himself with an expression of enlightenment: "Using poison to counter poison! Although Star Blue Grass was highly toxic, and the poison vine was also extremely toxic, when these two extremely toxic substances were mixed together with a special method, the toxicity of each other was actually completely neutralized.

That's right, there was another medicinal herb within the medicinal liquid. It seemed to be a precious ginseng … "How wonderful!"

"Using the characteristics of these two poisons to fight against each other, coupled with refining with the precious ginseng, it's enough to refine a pill with powerful effects. If it's used to hang one's life or to heal an injury, then it's a rare high quality pill!"

Unfortunately, this should only be the leftover medicinal liquid after refining a medicinal pill. There are a lot of impurities in it, if I could personally see the medicinal pills refined by this person, I would be able to know exactly what the cycle is. If one is able to reach Rank three or above, then the effect would be quite strong.

As Master Chen said this, he suddenly grabbed the storekeeper's arm and shouted, "You just said that he's just a madman. Is he here to swindle and cheat?"

No matter how foolish the shopkeeper was, he knew that he had gotten into trouble. His face was pale. "Master Chen …"

"You also said that you chased him out?"

"I... "Great Master Chen …"

The shopkeeper's body went limp and he kneeled to the ground with a thump. He said with a trembling voice, "Master, I was wrong. Please spare me!"

Master Chen's face was gloomy as he shouted, "You did a good deed! If this medicinal liquid was really concocted by the youth you spoke of, then he is an alchemist with great potential! "No, he might be an apothecary whose cultivation realm is higher than mine!"

Boom!

The shopkeeper looked as if he had been struck by lightning and stood rooted to the spot.

An alchemist of a higher level than Master Chen … That youth?!

Master Chen's words were a foretelling sign of his miserable ending!

The standing of alchemists in the World of the Nine Continents was extremely high. As someone who had served in the Nine Continents for many years, he was well aware of this fact. Cultivating martial artists required pills. Healing injuries required pills. Breaking through to the next realm required even more pills!

Apothecary was the protection of one's life. It meant one's survival!

However, the number of apothecaries was extremely few. It wasn't difficult to become an apothecary, but it was too difficult to become an official apothecary!

Special forging techniques, pill formulas, as well as experience were indispensable!

Just these two reasons were enough to make alchemists have a high status in the world of the nine continents.

According to his knowledge, even in the Immortal Path Sect and the cultivation world, pill refiners were still respected.

This was because it was much more difficult for a cultivator to break through than it was for a martial artist, and they would require the assistance of medicinal pills.

However, he chased away that alchemist …

"Shopkeeper, I have already gathered the men. Who are you going to chase after? Please give the order!" At this time, a martial artist holding a long saber ran over.

"Shut up!"

The shopkeeper jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on, and shouted, "No one is chasing after him! No, hurry and chase after a youth in a cyan robe!" I will go and chase them myself! "

He turned around and ran as if he had gone mad. Before he could leave, Master Chen's cold voice came from behind, "If you can't get back that apothecary, then you won't need to come back!"

The shopkeeper's heart turned cold as he staggered and fell face first onto the ground as he cried out miserably. However, he did not care about these things. He got up awkwardly and hurriedly chased after them.

Master Chen looked at his back and snorted, "You fool! Let everyone chase after him and split up to search for him. Remember, when you find that youth, you must treat him with respect and bring him back! "

The warrior was shocked: "Yes, Master Chen!"

On the street.

Lin Cheng had a sullen expression as he slowly walked forward.

However, he did not complain at all, because he knew very well that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Without strength, everything was empty talk.

He had even seen a lot of people like the shopkeeper. He just felt sorry for the remaining medicinal liquid. At that time, he shouldn't have confronted that person with the last sentence. All he had to do was pick up the bottle and leave.

"However, if that is the case, it will not be my Lin City!"

Lin Cheng raised his head. No matter if it was in his previous life or this life, he possessed an extremely strong sense of dignity. If he were to be humiliated by the manager, he would absolutely not be indifferent to it.

"If I can't do it, I'll leave the city and go gather herbs. Back then, I was unable to cultivate and became the Pill King. Now that I have a certain level of talent and have a cultivation at the fourth level of the Body River stage, I can barely protect myself by entering the forest!"

"Master! Master! "

While Lin Cheng was deep in thought, an anxious shout suddenly came from behind. It was very clear in the empty street that he subconsciously turned his head, but he was surprised to find that a somewhat embarrassed person was quickly running towards him.

This person's clothes were in disarray, and his hair was in disarray, making him look extremely miserable. When he came closer, Lin Cheng was shocked to discover that this person was actually the owner of the inn!

"Great Master, I've finally found you. This is great …" The shopkeeper's face was full of excitement as he repeatedly spoke.

"They really caught up to us, why is it that they are so domineering after coming together?" Lin Cheng immediately took a step back. Stepping forward, he secretly channeled his Yuan Power and coldly said, "I know that even kings have to be respectful to you when you return, but I am not afraid!"

"Master, you misunderstand. I … I came to apologize to you!" The storekeeper hastily said with a smile.

"Apologize?"

Lin Cheng frowned, but he didn't let down his guard.

The shopkeeper cupped his fists and smiled apologetically, "Master, I have eyes but did not recognize Mt. Tai. I mistakenly thought that you had come to cheat me. Now I know that I was wrong. Master, please forgive me!"

Lin Cheng coldly stared at him, but he quickly came to an understanding as he coldly laughed, "Seems like, you've appraised that bottle of medicinal liquid before?"

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said, "It was personally appraised by the Great Master Chen that we came together to meet. His evaluation is very high …" Master, I know I was wrong. I beg you, please forgive me and give me a chance to atone for my sins! "

"Whoa!"

Lin Cheng sneered and asked, "I can't afford to pay for the sins that you've brought back!"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face immediately paled. He gritted his teeth and kneeled to the ground, begging, "Master, this lowly one truly knows his wrongs. Please don't lower yourself to the same level as this lowly one, please spare me!" If Master does not forgive this lowly one, then this lowly one will be brought together and dealt with. Even Master Chen will not let this lowly one off! "

"You asked for it!" "What does it have to do with me!"

"Master!"

The shopkeeper trembled and begged, "If master doesn't forgive this little one, this little one will die …"

He suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "Master, I have stored quite a few medicinal ingredients and some gold. I can even give them to master for his forgiveness."

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat as he replied, "Oh? You have medicinal herbs? "

Hearing that, the shopkeeper immediately realized that it was possible to seek Lin Cheng's forgiveness, and nodded his head, "Yes! "Since I am a shopkeeper, I will naturally learn a lot of medicinal ingredients from you …"

These medicinal herbs belonged to him, but in order to survive, he didn't have the time to bother with them.

Lin Cheng muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "Since that's the case, it's not impossible for me to forgive you. It's just that …"

"Grandmaster, please be at ease. I will definitely do my best to obtain medicinal ingredients for you in the future. There are still many high grade medicinal ingredients in the warehouse …" The shopkeeper thought that Lin City was asking for benefits and hurriedly said.

"Humph!"

Lin Cheng coldly snorted, "I will not take those medicinal herbs for free. I will help Gui Gui Yuan refine the pills as an exchange."

If the shopkeeper's medicinal materials were found out in the future, he would naturally die. Lin Cheng naturally didn't want to get into trouble like this. One had to know that the one behind all of this was the Immortal Path Sect. Those cultivators were definitely not people he could mess with right now!

"Yes, yes, yes, this lowly one is confused. Naturally, master would not do such a thing!" The shopkeeper repeatedly said, pleasantly surprised. Lin Cheng had already forgiven him for saying this, "Great Master, Great Master Chen would like to have an exchange with you, I don't know …"

"Let's go, lead the way." Lin Cheng said. The reason why he came here today was naturally to obtain medicinal herbs. He was extremely satisfied with the results.
