Chapter 228: Chapter 227 Oh speechless!

The Cheng Family’s nutrient solutions mainly target the mid to low-end market. Although the profit per sale is low, they can’t help but acknowledge that having a large customer base has its perks.

Rong Yueqing also looked at Qu Tong and nodded, "I think Cheng Yao is right, maybe you could talk to Miss Ali about it."

Qu Tong stroked his chin and looked at the three of them, "Do you think Miss Ali only knows how to make advanced mind stabilizing potions and not intermediate ones?"

Rong Yueqing blinked her peach blossom eyes in confusion, "Impossible, right?"

Don’t schools start by teaching how to make low-grade mind stabilizing potions?

Cheng Yao expressed his doubt, "Isn’t there also Elder Yuan? He was a potion grandmaster."

Although rumors say that Elder Yuan is no longer as capable as he once was, only able to craft high-grade mind stabilizing potions since no special-grade potions have surfaced after all this time.

Fei Wenxing had a flash of inspiration, "Maybe the masters disdain to waste time on mid and low-grade mind stabilizing potions."

Qu Tong sighed, amazed that the two could survive so well with a few screws loose in their heads.

"Miss Jun Li and Elder Yuan are just two people, they don’t have all the time in the world."

"That’s true haha!"

The three of them had an epiphany.

Qu Tong then said, "Wanting an intermediate mind stabilizing potion is easy, just dilute it with water into two doses."

Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao’s mouths opened wide in shock, exclaiming in unison, "You can do that?!!"

Fei Wenxing even started to calculate, "One potion costs 300,000. Dilute it into two intermediate mind stabilizing potions, and that’s 150,000 per potion, 30,000 cheaper than the Alchemist Association!"

"I’ll go back and try it right now, haha, I just so happened to snag one," Cheng Yao immediately declared.

"You sly dog! You got a potion and didn’t whisper a word to me," Fei Wenxing scolded with heartfelt pain.

"That’s not important!" Cheng Yao felt guilty for a second, "Come on, let’s go back and experiment with the results."

The two came in a hurry and left just as hurriedly.

Rong Yueqing, left behind, looked at Qu Tong in confusion, "Prince Consort Sister, is what you said really true?"

According to the potion knowledge she had come across, it seemed that this shouldn’t be done—the various ingredients in a potion have strict proportions, and adding water could ruin the potency.

"It’s true," Qu Tong confirmed with a nod. Her potions were a bit special.

"How is that possible?" Rong Yueqing asked subconsciously, then felt it was improper to ask and hurriedly explained with a blushing face, "It’s okay if you’re not comfortable sharing, Prince Consort Sister."

Qu Tong indeed was in no position to share, so she just smiled, "Let’s continue to teach me how to make nutrient solutions."

Rong Yueqing was not the least bit unhappy and nodded gently, "Alright."

Rong Yueqing did have some talent in potions, having learned for a shorter time yet able to craft potions that even Xun Guangyong, who gave her zero points, couldn’t fault.

Moreover, Qu Tong knew that Rong Yueqing should have also dabbled in some mind stabilizing potion crafting skills and knew more than others.

That day, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao excitedly shared in their chat group that indeed, one high-grade mind stabilizing potion could be divided into two intermediate ones, and they posted their test results on the Interstellar Network.

Famous live-streamer Rice Ball discovered this news and even held a live stream to verify its authenticity.

Fei Wenxing’s post was just testing equipment data, but Rice Ball had a real person test the potency.

This, yet again, brought another wave of popularity to Miss Ali’s potions.

Actually, diluting a high-grade mind stabilizing potion to make intermediate ones is not cost-effective.

Although Miss Ali’s mind stabilizing potions are priced at 300,000 per potion, the black market rate can go as high as 1 million per potion, and the Alchemist Association sells them for 500,000 each.

Diluting one high-grade mind stabilizing potion into two intermediate ones is like breaking down 500,000 into two portions of 200,000.

No matter how you look at it, it just doesn’t add up.

However, there are indeed people who only need intermediate mind stabilizing potions and this method allows them to save one for later use.

This news has infuriated the Alchemist Association, but having been burnt once, they realistically chose not to rush into a second loss.

They swallowed their pride and stuck to the original plan, listing a few hundred intermediate mind stabilizing potions for sale.

After another weekend had passed, Qu Tong asked Old Yuan whether she needed to go back to Luyi Star to concoct potions.

For once, Old Yuan spoke normally, revealing that he had urgent matters on E12 Star and that there had been new progress in the treatment for his Spirit Sea, asking her if she was free to go there.

Qu Tong also received two pieces of news.

One was an inside tip from Old Yuan, stating that the Empress Palace’s Gong Lingyu was closely following the auction news.

The Empress Dowager had some contact with Yu Yao, asking her to let the Empress know immediately if there was news about a Special Grade Potion.

Qu Tong felt that the Empress Dowager’s interest in buying potions might be for the sake of preparing them for Si Yuting.

The second piece of news was that a large auction on E12 Star would have a significant amount of Void Crystal Stone available.

Thinking that just in case Old Yuan’s skills weren’t up to par and they ran out of Void Crystal Stone, she agreed to go.

After all, hoarding more of the stuff wouldn’t do any harm.

Two days would probably not be enough, so Qu Tong requested two more days off.

Qu Tong had become a regular in Fu Xiangyu’s office. Seeing her, the instructor directly asked, "How many days do you want off?"

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Qu Tong said, "Two days."

"Got it, no problem increasing your score by one rank on the next simulation test, right?" Fu Xiangyu said as she signed the document.

Qu Tong hesitated, "No problem."

With Rong Yueqing’s tutelage, she should be able to score a few more points in the practical classes without much issue.

After returning to her rental and changing her outfit, Qu Tong set off in her flying vehicle toward E12 Star.

No sooner had she departed than she received a message from Yu Yao: "Miss Jun Li, when will you arrive? I’ll arrange for someone to come pick you up."

Yu Yao was Master Yuan’s assistant and must have guessed that the Silver Potion was made by her hand, thus the change in how she addressed her.

Before Qu Tong could reply, Yu Yao sent over a dozen photos, each featuring bodyguards with handsome faces, and some even showcased their abs.

Yu Yao: "Miss Jun Li, do you fancy any of them? I’ll have them come pick you up."

Qu Tong’s hand trembled, quickly averting her gaze from the photos.

Oh, the torment!

Would there be any point now in clarifying that she’s not into handsome guys?

Really, this is so frustrating!

Who on earth spread the news like wildfire?

Are interstellar cops all this gossipy?

Qu Tong couldn’t help but facepalm, typing a reply: "No need to arrange anyone!"

Seeing that Yu Yao was still typing, not wanting to hear another word about her liking good-looking men, Qu Tong quickly typed: "I’ve brought potions with me."

Yu Yao: "!!!"

Yu Yao: "Does Master Jun Li plan to auction at this auction event?"

Qu Tong: "Yeah."

The Seven-leaf Heart plants in the back mountains bloomed one after another.

However, she didn’t plan to sell the Silver Potion in her shop; the E12 Star auction was the best choice.

Yu Yao respectfully inquired how many vials there were and then said she would arrange for the preparations right away.

By preparations, naturally, she meant publicity.

Less than two hours later, Qu Tong saw on the trending searches news about the appearance of a Special-grade Potion at the E12 Star auction event.

Qu Tang believed that this news wouldn’t just be appearing on the hot search lists of the Canaan Empire.
