Chapter 20: Chapter 18 Master Li Yun

"May I ask, Master, what are the effects of this pill you are crafting?" Doctor Xiao asked.

"You have something to say?" Master Li Yun frowned, his expression displeased.

For every alchemist, the pills they craft are ultimately a secret, not to be disclosed.

Doctor Xiao realized he had breached a taboo and quickly said, "Master, please don’t misunderstand, just now someone came by, and the medicinal materials he picked were quite similar to yours, only there were a few additional kinds. This old man was merely curious. Don’t believe me? Look for yourself, here is the list of materials he took."

Li Yun frowned and took the list. At first, he was indifferent, but as he read on, he grew more and more astonished; indeed, the materials listed were quite similar to his own, and there were several more.

Having been an alchemist for no short time now, his years of experience made him vaguely feel that the pills crafted with the materials on this list would be similar in effect to his own, but if those additional materials were added, the results might be significantly superior.

He immediately grabbed Doctor Xiao’s hand and questioned him, "Where is he? Hurry, take me to see this person."

Master Li Yun felt an urgency; he sensed this individual was no ordinary person, possibly a higher-ranked alchemist, and the precision of the quantities and ages of the materials on the list made him even more convinced of this.

Doctor Xiao was startled; he hadn’t expected the usually calm and unflappable Master Li Yun to show such excitement. Could this mysterious person in the black robe be a hidden expert?

He naturally didn’t dare to argue and hurriedly said, "I’m sorry, Master, I don’t know this person. He was cloaked in a black robe, very mysterious. I didn’t see what he looked like. He just picked up ten sets of materials and then left."

On hearing this, Master Li Yun sighed in resignation; his intuition told him this person could be an alchemist, and possibly even one of a three-star rank, higher than his own. It was just unfortunate he didn’t know where the man was.

If he could meet such an alchemist, even receive guidance from such a master, Li Yun felt he might be able to advance to a two-star alchemist or higher much more quickly, something he had dreamed of for years.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Just now, that customer also left a bottle of Healing Liquid for us to sell at Huichun Hall, but the selling price is very high, three hundred Gold Coins," Doctor Xiao suddenly remembered something, immediately spoke up, and handed the bottle of medicine liquid to Master Li Yun.

"Medicine liquid?"

Master Li Yun received the medicine liquid somewhat skeptically; as true alchemists rarely ever go back to making medicine liquids, because the effects of medicine liquids could not possibly compare to those of real pills.

Could it be a mistaken guess, that this person wasn’t an alchemist, just someone who happened to need the same ingredients as himself?

As for the mysterious person in the black robe, Li Yun began to doubt his identity, but he didn’t stop his actions. He opened the medicine bottle, and immediately, a faint, pleasant fragrance wafted out, refreshing the spirit. He saw that the ordinary bottle contained clear, emerald green medicine liquid, with a mist swirling within.

Supreme!

Master Li Yun’s eyes lit up immediately, overwhelmed with excitement; he even dropped a droplet on his tongue to taste and found his entire body feeling much more relaxed by many folds, seemingly eliminating the fatigue from constant alchemy. Indeed, it was extraordinarily miraculous.

As they say, a true expert’s actions reveal the depth of their skill.

Such a medicine liquid could definitely be regarded as supreme, even perhaps a bit better than ordinary First-grade Healing Pills.

Just by the quality of the medicine liquid produced, one could imagine the alchemist’s level of expertise, which was absolutely superb.

Li Yun held back his excitement and said, "You mentioned just now... how much is this bottle of medicine liquid selling for?"

"Three hundred gold coins!" Doctor Xiao replied truthfully, "But the price is somewhat outrageous; even if the healing liquid is of good quality, it shouldn’t be sold for such a high price, I’m afraid it might not sell."

"Good, I’ll buy it immediately." Master Li Yun immediately replied and on the spot took out a thick purse, placing several hundred gold coins on the counter.

This decisiveness made Doctor Xiao stare dumbfounded and in disbelief, feeling as though he had made a significant loss. He couldn’t help but say, "Master Li Yun, can this bottle of medicine liquid really sell for three hundred gold coins? Don’t you find it outrageous?"

"Outrageous?" Master Li Yun shook his head and a smile, rare and genuine, spread across his face as he said, "I’m in a good mood now, so I might as well tell you. This bottle of healing liquid is called Hundred Herbs Liquid. Theoretically, it could be produced by an average person, but realistically, it cannot be made without sufficient alchemy skills."

"Moreover, this bottle of Hundred Herbs Liquid is supreme, capable of mending flesh and bones. Frankly, it’s even better than some first-grade healing pills. Selling it for merely three hundred gold coins is too cheap. Even if I were to sell it in the Royal Capital, I can guarantee that people would rush to buy it even for three thousand gold coins."

"No way!?" Doctor Xiao was dumbstruck, it could sell for three thousand gold coins? That would be a tremendous fortune for just a small bottle of medicine liquid.

Understanding Doctor Xiao’s doubts, Master Li Yun carefully packed the liquid away and then said, "You’re not an alchemist, so naturally, you don’t understand the true value of this medicine liquid. This is not ordinary healing liquid; it’s nearly of the highest quality. If labeled like pills, it would be classified as a first-grade pill, and of a high rank at that."

"Not only is it effective for Acquired Cultivators, but even those from the Innate Realm find it has sufficient effects, capable of curing ailments caused by cultivation, its value is incomparable. Even among the Royal Alchemists from the Royal Capital, I dare say few can produce such a supreme medicine liquid; even three thousand gold coins would be too little."

Now Master Li Yun understood even more about the deep mystery of that mysterious person; just this bottle of medicine liquid, if truly concocted by that individual, the rank would definitely be three-star, and perhaps even reaching the legendary ranks of four or five stars is possible.

At this moment, Doctor Xiao finally understood, regrettably he had been shortsighted, initially even mentioning thirty gold coins, and indeed saying three hundred gold coins was too little. For Innate Strong People, a healing liquid capable of curing hidden issues would indeed be in demand even for three thousand gold coins.

He silently sighed, with undisguised disappointment, having missed banding together with such a precious bottle of liquid, a mere reward of five gold coins was pitifully small.

Master Li Yun patted his shoulder to console him, "Actually, you shouldn’t be so disheartened. A non-alchemist simply cannot recognize the true value of this liquid. Today, I just happened by chance to come across it; otherwise, to those unaware, it would indeed be difficult to sell for three hundred gold coins. That person probably needs money, hence the sale."

"However, since he has placed the medicine liquid here for sale, he will surely come back to retrieve the sold gold coins. When that time comes, you must try to detain him and notify me as quickly as possible." Afterwards, Master Li Yun added.

Doctor Xiao’s eyes brightened, although he had missed out on the superior healing liquid, he now had a favorable condition to connect with the alchemist. He hurriedly nodded, "Rest assured, Master Li Yun, should that esteemed guest return, this old man will notify you immediately."

"Very good, as long as you do well, I, Li Yun, will not let you down; this I can guarantee." After making a promise, Master Li Yun before leaving, asked Doctor Xiao to fetch ten portions of the listed medicinal materials and that bottle of healing liquid, hurriedly leaving.

He had a feeling that the data recorded on this list was better and more effective than his.

He needed to verify it immediately.

Of course, all these events were unknown to Ye Chen as he left Huichun Hall, went directly into an unoccupied alley, looked around to make sure no one was around, then changed out of a black robe and left with the medicinal materials.

Thank you "The Quiet String’s Heartbeat", "Journey of Life", and "30372664" for the rewards, thank you!
