Chapter 111
The youths on the upper floor raised their cups and toasted before starting to chat, medicine and alchemy being the main topics discussed.
They were in Southern Ping, the holy land of alchemy and medicine. Both the South and even the North acknowledged the city as the sacred land of medicine. From medicine to alchemy, they were the best; Southern Ping was the dream of many glipheons and alchemists.
Amidst the liveliness, one table remained silent. A youngster sat at the table drinking tea alone. If one were to take a closer look, all the youths present were only drinking tea, abstaining from liquor.
As a glipheon, one wasnt allowed to consume liquor which slowed ones thinking; being drunk wasnt an option for glipheons. Any mistake would have grave consequences due to the utmost precision required for both medicine and alchemy. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
The arrival of Mo-Yung Kit caught the attention of many of the youths present. They went up to greet him while most girls stared at him in admiration.
The silent boy opened up his eyes too. They were full of energy, just like stars at night. Despite his age, he seemed reliable.
The youths were split into two groups. One surrounded Mo-Yung Kit, while the others surrounded the quiet boy. The boy was none other than Ping Ching of the Ping Clan.
Ping Ching didnt stand, only waving his hands. Mister Mo-Yung, please sit.
Ill gladly join you. Mo-Yung Kit replied politely and sat across from Ping Ching.
Hearing their conversation, the frequent diners couldnt help but praise him. Mister Mo-Yung is definitely a genius with manners. Hes indeed a worthy competitor to the Ping Clan.
The Outstanding Talents Society gathering starts now. Everyone can openly voice the difficulties and challenges they have faced in medicine or alchemy, Ping Ching said emotionlessly. He might look cute, but he carried the air of an elite clan disciple.
The entire restaurant was taken aback by this.
Elixir enlightenment!
It was a process of enlightenment, just like what gliphers and gliphists could experience, just that gliphers would be enlightened on gliphilities or battle-related knowledge while gliphists would comprehend more about gliph related topics. Like its name, elixir enlightenment would help an alchemist understand alchemy better.
Enlightenment couldnt be forced. It was something that one couldnt ask for or control. When alchemists were enlightened, they would get strange and creative ideas, usually creating special elixirs. These elixirs had no recipe and were developed solely through their enlightenment, thus were usually unique throughout the world.
Mo-Yung Kit patted his clans jade badge as a palm-sized wooden box appeared in his palm. Ping Ching took it casually and opened the box.
Whoosh
An aromatic scent diffused through the entire restaurant. Everyone who smelled it was captivated. What elixir is so aromatic?
Some gliphists and elders smiled and shook their heads on smelling it. They knew it was a difficult question for Mister Ping. They might have only smelled it from afar and not know the elixirs effects, but they could tell that this g-elixir was nearly grade three. Ping Ching could barely refine grade two elixirs and mostly refined grade one elixirs. How could he tell what this g-elixir was when it was nearly grade three?
Ping Ching ignored everything around him and looked at the elixir in the box. Its pink and has a nice, round shape. There is some fog on the outer layer too.
He took a deep breath as if trying to suck in the fog. I can detect some hallucinative powers. It seems to have a strong power to take over someones mind. This should be a hallucination elixir.
Everyone that was ready to laugh at Ping Ching had a serious expression. Hallucination elixir?
