Chapter 424: Chapter 418: The Fallen Pharmacist

“I understand. Given your reputation as the president, it maybe impossible to recruit senior alchemists in Rosewood City, but it should be easy to recruit junior ones.”

At this point, Margaret Yule hesitated for a moment, her voice a bit dry, and cautiously asked, “President, can a senior alchemist with exhausted potential and severe injuries join the guild?”

Hearing this, David Jones looked at Margaret Yule in surprise, his expression strange.

“What’s wrong?”

Margaret Yule touched her cheeks and began to doubt whether she had put her makeup on properly.

“Even with exhausted potential and severe injuries, a senior alchemist is still a highly esteemed figure.

A master alchemist at the apex of the Flare V grade can even serve as the president of any Pharmacist Guild in a Level III city through connections. As long as such a top alchemist applies to join, our Purple Haze Club will accept them no matter how many there are,” David Jones couldn’t help but speak.

Because he had devoted all his energy to the research of pet evolution, his senior sister, Rosalind Louise, was still only a senior alchemist up to this point.

However, David Jones could guarantee that a senior alchemist would be highly valued no matter which city they went to.

Considering that even such a person needed to ask permission to join the guild, was Margaret Yule being too arrogant?

Just as David Jones was puzzled, Margaret Yule seemed to have realized something and quickly responded.

“No, the senior alchemist is named Jade Bailey. She was attacked by a beast while collecting elixirs, which led to the death of her pet and the collapse of her innate flame. In addition to using Mystic Arts to escape, her Arcane Star was downgraded, with her psychic power significantly reduced, now her alchemy level is only at the later stage of Flare II.”

“According to medical practitioners, due to the severity of her hidden injuries and the backlash from her medicine flame, recovery is virtually impossible without a Class VII elixir or higher.

Even when refining Class II elixirs, she can only make three batches a day, otherwise, there is a risk of her injuries recurring,” Margaret said with a trace of regret on her face.

It was truly a pity that such an extraordinary alchemist had her future buried due to a mishap.

If David Jones hadn’t wanted to recruit alchemists outside of Rosewood College, she wouldn’t have thought of this unfortunate alchemist.

“I see.” David Jones’s eyes flickered.

This was just too coincidental. The thousand-year stalactites had amazing healing properties for hidden injuries, bone cleansing, and life extension, and he had lots of them now.

However, in the absence of any previous acquaintance, David Jones would not be generous enough to offer the thousand-year stalactites.

After all, the value of a single drop of thousand-year stalactite was enough to make a King Beastmaster risk his life.

“No factions want to take in a senior alchemist? What about her teacher’s faction behind her?” David Jones asked with a puzzled tone.

“Jade Bailey is a senior alchemist who came out of the Rosewood Pharmacy Workshop. To get into the Rosewood City Pharmacist Guild for further study, she rejected offers from all factions.”

Margaret Yule looked up at David Jones, a hint of envy in her eyes.

People’s experiences were different from one another. Naturally talented David Jones could enjoy the treatment of a genius, but most of the disciples who were apprenticed to a pharmacist could not enjoy such treatment.

Before leaving the pharmacy workshop, ordinary alchemists had to work hard every day to refine elixirs to exchange for cultivation resources to hand in to their teacher. Otherwise, they would be expelled from the workshop.

If they managed to persevere and became a junior alchemist, they could live a better life free from labor.

If they failed to persevere, their youth wasted and their health ruined before they paid off their teaching fees, they would end up leaving the teacher’s tutelage with resentment, leading an ordinary but relatively affluent life before dying from age.

Jade Bailey was one of the few senior alchemists with ordinary aptitude in Rosewood City who persevered through sheer determination to come out of the pharmacy workshop.

As a result, she had also become a popular figure among the people of Rosewood City.

“Compared to these, the most important thing is that Jade Bailey has already suffered major damage to her foundation. Even if healed with a Class VIIB tier elixir [Life-Returning Elixir], she cannot make any further progress.” Margaret Yule said.

David Jones nodded slightly.

Indeed, these beast training families are very calculating. If there is a profit to be made, they probably won’t let go of this opportunity to win people’s hearts.

Obviously, in the eyes of these beast training families, a senior alchemist who cannot be promoted to the level of master alchemist is not worth the cost of a precious Class VII elixir.

“A Level V Alchemist with a clear background can only refine Class II elixirs due to serious injuries. If she could be fully healed and taken under our wing, we wouldn’t have to worry about the source of elixir soul for a short period!” David Jones thought to himself.

“Starting from today, collect all the information about Jade Bailey. If her information is true, we will visit her personally at that time.”

“She is just a Class II alchemist, there is no need for you, President, to go to her in person.” Margaret Yule said in surprise.

“No matter what, she used to be a senior alchemist. Besides, I also want to see the style of an alchemist who comes out of the Pharmacy Workshop.” David Jones shook his head.

Seeing is believing, hearing is false.

If Jade Bailey could pass his test and serve him, a drop of Thousand-year Stalactites would not matter.

At present, David Jones’ foundation is still shallow, for him, a talented person with hidden intentions is completely inferior to a loyal subordinate.

“I understand, I will find out Jade Bailey’s information as quickly as possible.”

After saying that, Margaret Yule took out a map from her Star Ring.

“Recently, Helen found dozens of acres of fertile Blue fields in the Mountain Rosewood range. I want to develop them into spirit farms for the Purple Haze Club. This is a topographic map.”

David Jones took the map handed over by Margaret Yule and frowned slightly.

“Our club has not officially formed yet, and the privately divided spirit farms should not count.”

“Yes, but with Helen and you, President, no student should dare to disagree.” Margaret Yule explained.

“Only this once, never to be repeated.” David Jones glanced at Margaret Yule.

“Now that Helen has joined the Purple Haze Club, let her handle the club’s trial tasks, as for other trivial matters, leave them to you. I plan to seclude myself for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Margaret Yule’s face flashed with surprise.

It hasn’t been long since David Jones had a new insight. He truly deserves to be the rare genius of Flowery Kingdom in a thousand years!

Looking at the disappearing back of Margaret Yule, David Jones thought for a moment, walked into the villa courtyard, the light of the Star Ring on his fingers flickered, and a large pile of boxes and the Gluttonous Beast suddenly appeared on the lawn.

“It’s time to unbox!” David Jones patted the Gluttonous Beast on the head.

“Roar!”

The Gluttonous Beast let out a low growl, its eyes fixed on the largest box.

“Go ahead.”

As David Jones’ voice fell, the Gluttonous Beast couldn’t wait to rush forward. With a sweep of its dragon claw, the tightly packed box instantly shattered.

A Mechinery Dragon with no light in its dragon eyes and twelve dragon horns extending back from the edge of its head appeared suddenly. The spines growing on its back were like jade bones, its limbs resting on the ground, and its chest was filled with a bronze luster. It showed no sign of life.
