Chapter 53: An Acquaintance at the Pharmacy

After leaving the Exchange,

Qin Bei headed straight for the Pharmacy.

He had two goals for this trip.

One was to exchange the miscellaneous items he had for money.

After all, iron ore and fierce beast bones were used for forging weapons or armor.

But the key was that he couldn't use either of these things.

And now, the second goal was to take the medicinal herbs he had

to a pharmacist to have them refined into potions.

The Pharmacy was not far from the Exchange.

After walking for about 10 minutes,

he found the Pharmacy in a secluded corner.

The foot traffic was very low.

After all, ordinary people could rarely afford to consume here.

He stepped inside.

The space inside the Pharmacy was also very small.

There was only one counter.

And on the counter, someone was lying down, sleeping.

Qin Bei had a strange look on his face.

If he wasn't mistaken,

this person sleeping on the counter seemed to be someone he knew.

Xiang Duan?

"Ahem,"

Qin Bei silently walked to the front of the counter and then knocked on it.

Xiang Duan jumped up, startled, and lifted his head.

"Welcome~"

Xiang Duan said in a dainty voice.

The affected voice sounded particularly annoying.

"If the boss knew you were welcoming customers like this, would he beat you to death?"

Qin Bei said, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"Oh, it's you. You scared me."

After realizing it was Qin Bei, Xiang Duan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked curiously,

"Why are you here?"

"Of course, I'm here to buy potions. Or to be precise, I need a pharmacist to help me extract potions."

Qin Bei said honestly. ===== CHAPTER 136 =====

"So you're here for business. Then tell me."

Xiang Duan immediately perked up.

"Alright, help me turn these two things into two types of potions. Just tell me how much the remaining herbs will cost."

Qin Bei patted his chest,

then took out the Dream Monarch Grass and the Forest Deer's antlers.

Which was the so-called deer velvet.

"Hmm? What is this stuff?"

Xiang Duan scratched his head, looking slightly confused.

"No way, you don't even know the herbs, what are you doing here?"

Qin Bei had a face full of black lines.

"This is my aunt's shop. I'm just hanging around."

Xiang Duan said righteously.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll call my aunt out."

Xiang Duan said, running off to the backyard.

And Qin Bei waited patiently right there.

Soon,

Xiang Duan returned with a woman wearing a white lab coat.

The woman, who had been looking impatient, saw the two herbs on the counter,

and her dead-fish eyes instantly became spirited.

She hurried to the counter.

"Dream Monarch Grass and Forest Deer Velvet. Such rare herbs. These herbs are not often seen; I haven't seen them for many years."

A sickly smile appeared on the woman's face.

Like a yandere.

Except the object of her yandere affection was the two herbs in front of her.

"Are these herbs yours?"

Only then did the woman's gaze turn to Qin Bei.

"Yes, can you help me make them into potions?"

Qin Bei nodded and said.

"Aunt, let me introduce you. This is my classmate, Qin Bei."

"This is my aunt, a Fourth-Tier pharmacist, Xiang Yi."

Xiang Duan introduced them enthusiastically.

"I can. The properties of these two herbs are to increase blood qi and nourish the spirit, respectively. You want to make them into Blood-Supplementing Potion and Spirit-Nourishing Potion, right?"

Xiang Yi asked with burning eyes.

Qin Bei remained silent.

How would he know what kind of potions they were? He didn't understand.

But since the pharmacist in front of him said so,

presumably these two potions should be quite good.

"Yes."

Qin Bei nodded.

"Interesting. These two are both Fourth-Tier potions. I can help you make them."

Xiang Yi smiled.

"What are the conditions?"

Qin Bei asked calmly.

"Oh, Aunt, this is my classmate. How can you ask for conditions?"

Xiang Duan came to Xiang Yi's side.

"Get lost!"

Xiang Yi kicked Xiang Duan away.

"You good-for-nothing, do you know how much effort it takes for me to make world-class potions?"

Xiang Yi stared fiercely at Xiang Duan.

When her gaze turned back to Qin Bei, it became gentle again.

"The condition is simple: for the potions produced, I will take one-fifth of each of these two herbs, plus a 10 million labor fee. I will provide the other remaining herbs myself."

"What do you think?"

Before Qin Bei could speak, Xiang Duan crawled up from the ground again.

"No way, Aunt, you're too ruthless. We're both students. You want him to pay 10 million?"

Qin Bei's mouth twitched.

In his heart, he had silently placed Xiang Duan in the position of a brother.

This guy was worth keeping; he shared all the benefits.

Actually, Xiang Yi's condition was not high at all.

It could even be said that it was very low.

Just the other herbs needed to configure the two potions were probably worth more than 10 million.

Not to mention the price for a Fourth-Tier pharmacist's services.

It probably wouldn't be less than 3 million.

"No need. I accept your conditions. Just swipe the card."

After Qin Bei finished speaking, he patted Xiang Duan on the shoulder.

Then he took out the bank card that hadn't even warmed up yet.

"Good! You and Little Duan should be classmates, right? Tomorrow I will give the finished potions to Little Duan, and let him hand them to you personally."

Xiang Yi nodded and walked past her nephew who was sabotaging her.

Swiping the card, taking the medicine, and walking into the backyard.

All in one go.

"See you tomorrow."

Qin Bei said to Xiang Duan.

"Classmate Qin, don't worry. I'll help you get back the money my aunt scammed you for."

Xiang Duan stood up and patted his chest.

Like a simple-minded gorilla.

The refined temperament he had when they first met was completely gone.

The common "brute" attribute of martial artists had already awakened in him.
