The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 42 Getting Materials (2)
Master Fengzi went towards the storage area of their Alchemy Hall to pick up medicinal herbs and fruits written on a piece of paper given by Jiu Shen.
He was confused because all the written materials were high-level materials. And the pills produced from those ingredients should at least be peak grade 8 pills. “What is the little boy trying to play? But he has some skills to know what kind of pill I made yesterday. Besides, I can't sense his cultivation level at all, so he definitely has some kind of treasure in it. he's the one who prevented others from seeing his true cultivation level.”
Master Fengzi recalled how Jiu Shen easily stated what kind of pill he made after sniffing his room. Even he himself was unable to do so. One sniff and he could guess what pill he made? If he told an alchemist about it, they would definitely treat him as a crazy old man.
“ it! Damnit!” Master Fengzi gritted his teeth desperately causing his long gray beard to tremble slightly.
He then entered into the storage area of their Alchemy Hall under the respectful gazes of all the other alchemists.
“Greetings, Mr. Fengzi.”
“Mr Fengzi, where will you go?”
Hearing that sudden question, Master Fengzi's eyes suddenly shone with a sly light similar to that of an old fox. “This old man will prove to someone that pill concoctions require experience and knowledge. If one only knew how to read the recipe, how could they successfully concoct a pill with it?”
The alchemists were surprised by his answer and based on his tone of voice, someone must have caused his displeasure.
“Mr Fengzi, who is this blind fool who dares to show off his minuscule knowledge within our Alchemy Hall?”
“Yes, he should be taught a lesson from trying to compare himself to us experienced old alchemists. Mr Fengzi, tell me who it is!”
The alchemists looked at him with faces full of displeasure. Of course, this displeasure was addressed to the person who had provoked Master Fengzi.
Master Fengzi smiled evilly inside, but he still maintained a friendly outer facade. He looked like a godly old man who was slandered by anyone at random. Coupled with his big name and skill in alchemy, everyone believed that he was telling the truth.
‘These stupid old men are easily swayed. But the good thing about them is their loyalty towards our Alchemy Hall.’
Master Fengzi smiled amiably at everyone and said. “No need to rush everything. I'll go pick up something first and then we'll go together to meet this guy.”
“Then, we will wait for you here, Mr. Fengzi.”
“Take your time, Mr. Fengzi. Don't worry, we'll help you teach this!”
Master Fengzi nodded his head slowly, acting like a learned sage. He then entered the storage area.
After less than thirty minutes, he came out and said with a bright smile. “Let's go my alchemist partner. I'll take you all to that guy.”
Meanwhile, inside Master Fengzi's room, Jiu Shen was still sitting lazily on the chair. His expression was relaxed and unperturbed as if no storm could move his heart. On the other hand, Lu Sulan was feeling nervous and hopeful at the same time.
Sometimes, he would glance at Jiu Shen only to see her unchanging facial expression.
“Agreed!” The door opened and Master Fengzi walked into the room with several old men and women standing behind him with angry faces. And right outside the room were some young alchemists.
They looked around the room to look for the person that Master Fengzi was talking about. They looked at the beautiful and harmless figure of Lu Sulan and subconsciously thought that she was not the person they were looking for. When they saw Jiu Shen who was so calm, they all nodded their heads internally. They know it's this guy!
“Sekte Madam Lu, these are the ingredients you need.” Master Fengzi warmly smiled as he handed the space ring to Lu Sulan.
Lu Sulan smiled and did not bother to check the space ring. He knew that Mr. Fengzi would not deceive him, so he also handed the space ring to Mr. Fengzi. “And this is the payment for all these items. You can check it out, Mr. Fengzi, and let me know if it's not enough.”
Master Fengzi nodded his head with a friendly smile before storing the space ring given by Lu Sulan. He then glanced at Jiu Shen with a mocking smile on his aged face. “Young man, I have given his ingredients to Madam Sect Lu. I wonder if you can do the end of the bargain?”
Jiu Shen glanced at Master Fengzi with an uninterested expression before he turned to look at the old man and woman standing behind him. Looking at their angry faces filled with anger, he had a rough guess about what had happened. They must have been instigated by Master Fengzi…
Jiu Shen knew what Master Fengzi was talking about. He wanted him to concoct the Refreshing Meridian Pill because he told the latter that he would help him concoct it if Master Fengzi could provide the materials they were looking for.
“I am right with my words. Just provide the necessary ingredients so that I can start my potion.” Jiu Shen replied indifferently.
The old man and woman behind Master Fengzi furrowed their brows after seeing Jiu Shen's demeanor. He had absolutely no respect for Master Fengzi!
“You think you are who told Mr Fengzi like that!?”
“Nak, this is the Alchemy Hall. This is not a place for random alchemist candidates to boast!”
Jiu Shen remained calm under their barrage of words, while Lu Sulan did not know what to do. He didn't want to provoke either side of the other party, so he remained silent and could only see the scene helplessly.
Teacher Fengzi's old lips twitched upon hearing Jiu Shen's words. He did have a final set of ingredients required in concocting the Refreshing Meridian Pill, but once consumed, he would have no leftovers for its use.
He gritted his teeth and took out many medicinal herbs and fruits from his outer space ring before giving it to Jiu Shen with his trembling hands.
He then forced a smile and said coldly. “It was the ingredients, young man. Now, let us old alchemists see how the potion was made.”
