Looking for more crystallic nucleus, finding and collecting the medicinal herbs that were needed to create the Blood Feast Potion, and have her Archer and Warlock breakthrough the Senior level before the start of the competition, these were the current problems that Shen Yanxiao was facing.
And to solve all these problems within six months was somehow difficult.
After returning back to the Holy Roland School, Shen Yanxiao looked for opportunities to contact Qi Xia and others. She ambiguously told the four people that she needed a lot of crystallic nucleus.
Even in the past, Qi Xia knew that Shen Yanxiao needed a lot of crystallic nuclei, but he didn’t asked too much about her purpose.
He had always felt that Shen Yanxiao had a lot of secrets. And if Shen Yanxiao was unwilling to tell him these secrets, then he wouldn’t probe into it.
“It’s not difficult to get tens of thousands crystallic nuclei, but only if the method is something crafty.” Qi Xia stroked his chin. He was seriously giving thoughts about Shen Yanxiao’s problems.
“I know that mercenary corps have a lot of crystallic nuclei on their hands.” Yang Xi, who was sitting on the side commented.
Mercenaries often accept the task of clearing demon beasts and magical beasts. Most of the magic nuclei they acquired by killing magical beasts were being taken away by their employees. On the other hand, only a few number of people would want the crystallic nucleus of the demon beast, as this kind of nucleus only had a little value. And most people wouldn’t buy them in large quantities, hence it resulted to mercenaries just hoarding a lot of crystallic nuclei on their hands and waiting for it to be rid of.
“Purchasing crystallic nucleus from the mercenaries is not a hard task at all. The problem is that we must be secretive about little Xiao’s matter when buying the nucleus. If we buy them in the open, I’m afraid that there would be some people who would want to investigate the matter.” Qi Xia had also thought of this point. In the whole Radiance Continent, no one wanted the crystallic nucleus. If they bought a lot, they’re afraid that it would arouse the curiosity of some forces, and so it wouldn’t be surprising if these forces would trace the destination of these nuclei.
Qilin Auction House could collect a lot of crystallic nuclei because it was an auction site. No one knew that all of these crystallic nuclei would just end up in one person. Hence, it wouldn’t attract any attention. Even so, Qi Xia didn’t dare to use all their auction houses to collect the crystallic nucleus for Shen Yanxiao. Otherwise, it would cause him a massive headache should trouble arise.
A group of people pondered and tried to find a good way to do it easily.
After a little while, finally, Qi Xia thought of an idea.
“Do you remember the casino that we had won before?”
“I remember. Didn’t you say you’re going to make that our base?” Tang Nazhi said.
Qi Xia was initially interested in that casino because their “Phantom” group needed a place to gather.
“I had that plan. But now I have thought of a better use for it. Why don’t we continue to run it as a casino? But we will change the regulations. The gambling stake will no longer be limited to just gold coins, and instead of being open for the students of Holy Roland School, our targets will be those mercenaries stationed at the Black City.” Qi Xia smilingly said.
“And then release the news that the crystallic nucleus could also be used as a wager?” Shen Yanxiao immediately understood Qi Xia’s plan.
“Yes. There are a lot of mercenary corps in the Black City, and the crystallic nucleus in their hands will definitely meet your needs.” Qi Xia pointed out. It would indeed save you a lot of trouble when a clever person would help you out.
“I guess this method is possible. However, a lot of students of the Holy Roland School know that the casino had been won by us. If we open it to the outside world, some quick-witted people will soon guess our purpose.” Yan Yu had still some qualms about the plan.
Chapter 262 – Opening a casino (3)
“That’s simple. I would just have to find a reliable person to help us run the casino. Then, we’ll say that we had sold the casino to others.” The intellectual acuity of Qi Xia as a businessman was truly unmatched.
After the last bit of concerns had been resolved, the five people had immediately decided to carry out the plan.
The underground casino, which had been closed for nearly two months, was reopened after three days. And the object of the business was no longer bound to the students of the Holy Roland School, but expanded to the surrounding towns.
When someone spread the news that the crystallic nucleus could be used as a gambling stake, a large number of mercenaries began taking the crystallic nuclei they had been storing in their warehouses to the casino.
Rather than a real gold and silver, they were more willing to bet out those tasteless crystallic nuclei for their entertainment. Anyway, these things were not going to be sold out and would just occupy space when placed in their warehouse. Naturally, the heads of every major mercenary corps were willing to let their people use these things and go to the new casino to try their luck.
In the first few days, due to Qi Xia’s instructions, the casino manager was very generous to the guests. He had let a lot of people who tried to gamble taste the sweetness of winning. And those mercenaries who had won a lot of money, quickly spread out the news, so that more people began to take a stock of crystallic nuclei and some other things to join the gamble.
Within a week, the number of crystallic nuclei that Shen Yanxiao had accumulated had reached 10,000. In addition to the crystallic nucleus, some medicinal materials had also began to enter the casino. This result had greatly exceeded the expectation of both Shen Yanxiao and Qi Xia.
After the number of customers had been stabilized, the casino manager had immediately displayed his skills, gathering the large amount of gold coins they’d prior lost back to the casino.
And instead of losing more money, the amount of gold coins that the five people in Shen Yanxiao’s group had accumulated every day had reached tens of thousands.
Such speed of making money was totally astonishing.
Shen Yanxiao took the crystallic nuclei they had collected and fed it all to Xiu.
Due to this, Xiu’s strength had been recovering with each passing day. Finally, after one month of business with the casino, Shen Yanxiao had successfully achieved her goal, making her able to untie the third layer of the seal.
That evening, Shen Yanxiao had slipped from the Holy Roland School and quietly ran to the Black City. She went to a hotel where she had decided to spend the night.
The scene when the second layer of the seal was untied was still vivid in her memories. She didn’t want for Tang Nazhi and Ling Xuan to be shocked in case there would be another accident when she untie the third layer of the seal.
In the dead of the night, Shen Yanxiao was sitting alone inside a hotel room in the Black City as she looked at the candle on top of the table. She took a deep breath.
“Xiu, we can begin.”
Shen Yanxiao blew the light of the candle and sat on the bed. She slowly closed her eyes before her spirit went into the depths of her soul.
Inside her mind, she could faintly see two vague figures. As she gradually condensed her spiritual power, the two figures gradually became clearer as well.
The Vermillion Bird, who had a child-like appearance, was arrogantly crossing his arms on his chest with two of his legs suspended in mid-air. Those pair of large scarlet eyes were fixed at the person opposite of him.
On the other side was a tall, slender figure; his hair that was hanging down along his back and shoulders was like a black silk fabric, jet-black and luminous, and without any slightest decorations. That long black hair complemented the knife-like face that appeared in Shen Yanxiao’s eyes.
Shen Yanxiao thought that she had seen the most with Shen Siyu and Qi Xia’s countenance. But the moment her eyes fell on the man’s face, only then did she knew what perfection really was.
[Tl Raz: Ehem, ehem.. who are those who’re asking for the male lead again? Well, here you g– I mean see you in the next chapter..(´◔౪◔)]
Chapter 263 – The Fall of the Gods (1)
Exquisite and impeccable face; every inch of his face was as if it was the most perfect creation that God has made, not even a single trace of flaw could be seen. But what made Shen Yanxiao more surprised was those pair of golden eyes as dazzling as the sun.
They were clear as crystals, as if it could see through everything in this world.
Compared to the blazing eyes, those pair of eyes were so cold that if one were to look at them, they would feel like as if they were standing alone in the coldest time of the year, with the cold air piercing at their heart, all the way through their bones.
“Xiu?” Shen Yanxiao hesitantly called out.
The handsome man slightly nodded his head, and in no time he looked extremely magnificent and unmatched.
“It really is you!” Shen Yanxiao was surprised to see this seemingly tragic yet beautiful man. He just stood there quietly, but completely attracted her whole attention.
Dressed in a white robe, with his strong arms exposed in her sight and bare feet firmly planted on her heart lake, he’s just like a god that had landed on the mortal world.
Before, in her mind, Xiu was only an extremely vague shadow. She had imagined countless times what a man with a lonely and cold voice would look like. But the thousands of faces she had imagined before could’t even be compared with the countenance of the man before her.
The Xiu in front of her was just too perfect, that even if the same eye-catching Vermillion Bird was standing on his side, he could still attract the attention of all people on his body.
If Vermillion Bird was a cluster of fiery and dazzling flames, then Xiu was like a unique sun above the sky, constantly exuding a strong chill that spreading around the cold day.
Shen Yanxiao pursed up her lips. Xiu’s appearance was far beyond her expectations.
Such appearance was more than enough to make the women of the whole world be ashamed and resentful to death.
“What’s the matter?” The same chilling voice as before overflowed from Xiu’s mouth; his tone was like a cold breeze yet it was also like a sound of nature.
Shen Yanxiao secretly swallowed her saliva. She recalled those handsome men in the big screen back in her previous life. When compared to Xiu that stood before her, those people could only be described as miserable.
“Nothing… I was just very curious since I can actually see your face this time.” Shen Yanxiao boasted of being not a member of an association whose only after appearance, but in front of such a peerless stunning face, she still found it difficult to keep herself calm.
Xiu slightly knitted his eyebrows. The more distinct the anger-look on his handsome face, the more it made one’s heart to beat unceasingly wild.
“As my strength recovers, you’ll find more things.” He bowed his head to look at his own reflection. There was no ripples in his pair of golden eyes.
He was helping Shen Yanxiao to unlock the seal, but it was also to help himself regain his strength. Compared with his formidable power, he’s simply dismissive of such a superficial thing like one’s appearance.
“What else will I find?” Shen Yanxiao blinked her eyes. She felt that she was already very calm. If she was to be replaced by another woman, seeing such a peerless handsome man would probably make them faint directly due to excitement.
“If you can unlock the fifth layer, I can appear in the real world for a short amount of time.” Xiu replied.
“Appear in the real world?” Shen Yanxiao was slightly surprised. But even though she was shocked by Xiu’s peerless handsome appearance, she soon found another important issue.
Which human eyes would be golden!!!
Chapter 264 – The Fall of the Gods (2)
“Your eyes.” The corner of Shen Yanxiao’s mouth slightly twitched as he looked at Xiu’s half-squinted golden eyes.
As far as she knows, the color of the eyes of people from this world was not different from that of her previous world, which was mostly black or brown.
What race had a golden eyes?
Xiu didn’t opened his mouth, but the Vermillion Bird who was silent at the side suddenly said: “I didn’t expect that there would still be a living God from the Divine race at this present time. So that’s the reason why I felt that familiar feeling from you. A thousands of years ago, you must have participated in the war between the Gods and Demons, am I right?”
Xiu didn’t answer Vermillion Bird’s question, he just stood there quietly and motionless.
Shen Yanxiao, on the other hand, felt very shocked with the words of Vermillion Bird.
A living God?
What does that mean?
Thousands of years ago, the Divine Race and the Demon Race who both governed the entire world had launched a world-shaking war. That fierce battle almost shook everything. The rivers of blood and corpses of the soldiers of the two races could be seen everywhere. And because of that war, the Divine Race which was revered by the people had almost been annihilated. The only Gods who had been able to survive were also severely wounded in that battle. But they only managed to maintain their existence for a short time and still died in the end. The Demon Race went back to the underworld while the Divine Race suffered a total destruction.
The war of the Gods and Demons had brought about a great blow to the whole world. All the continents of the world were dragged into that battle. Humans, Elves, the Dragon Race, all of them had joined the fight against the Demon’s invasion. But even so, the Gods had also paid a great loss in the fight against the Demon Race.
The war that continued for hundreds of years led to the withering of this world. Until thousands of years after the end of the war, people had finally rebuilt their homes.
But although the Demon Race had returned to the bottom of the world, the demons who came up to the ground and had been left atop this piece of land had brought infinite suffering to the people.
The Divine Race had perished, and the remaining Gods had been drained of their power, who were soon after the war was over, had also fallen.
For thousands of years, the Divine Race had become a legend that was being passed from the people’s mouth.
Was Xiu from the Divine Race?
Shen Yanxiao didn’t dare to believe her own guess. Every appearance of a God from the Divine Race would bring a great turbulence to the human world.
The reason why the God’s domain had such a lofty status was also because the power of the people of the God’s domain were the closest to the divine power of the Gods of the Divine Race.
[TL/N: God’s Domain was the home of the sage who had awaken Vermillion Bird from his slumber. xD]
If a living God from the Divine Race was to appear before the eyes of the people at this present time, it was feared that the whole continent would be crazy.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that we are allies now.” Xiu could feel the fluctuations of Shen Yanxiao’s heart. He had no intention of explaining his identity.
The past was just fleeting clouds. Gods or Demons, they had long withdrawn from the stage of the history.
He’s now only a soul that was living inside a human’s body.
“You’re right.” Shen Yanxiao slightly smiled. What difference would it make to her if she knew his identity? What’s important to her was that he could unlock her seal. So what if he was even a Demon?
Vermillion Bird knitted his brows into a frown. He looked at the calm Shen Yanxiao then glanced at Xiu’s face that had no expression, he muttered: “My feelings can’t be wrong. But why can’t I seem to remember who you are?” There was definitely a hint of familiarity at the depths of his soul, but no matter how hard he think, he couldn’t remember the identity of Xiu.
Chapter 265 – The Fall of the Gods (3)
“No need to think deeper into it. Whatever your identity is, it’s all the same to me.” Shen Yanxiao chuckled. If she think about it, wouldn’t her identity as someone who transmigrated would also make people shock unceasingly?
Xiu looked at how Shen Yanxiao moved her lower lip slightly.
“Are you ready to unlock the third layer of the seal?”
Shen Yanxiao nodded then she gradually freed her spirit from the depths of her soul. Looking at the empty room, she slightly breathed in and out.
“I don’t know how much it will hurt this time.” The previous pain from unlocking the second seal was still fresh in her mind, she was unable to predict the what would be the feeling this time.
Pretty soon, she felt that the seal on her arm gradually emitting a heat, which didn’t radiate outward from her body, but traveled straight through her flesh then to the bone marrow.
Shen Yanxiao bit her lip in secret. She had prepared herself to endure the impending pain, but the next second, her entire body shook and fell directly on the bed, losing all her consciousness.
Inside her soul, Vermillion Bird was waiting beside Xiu. His scarlet eyes were filled with astonishment.
“What have you done!?” Feeling that his master had fainted, Vermillion Bird immediately put his guard up.
It’s not that Shen Yanxiao had no faith in Xiu, but this mysterious man really made him feel dangerous.
Shen Yanxiao might not be aware, but at this moment, Xiu’s spiritual power had been far superior than her’s. Such a violent force could make Xiu be able to forcibly occupy the body of Shen Yanxiao, and become the new owner of her body.
But Vermillion Bird was clearly aware of it. Because he and Xiu were both inside Shen Yanxiao’s body, he could clearly feel the changes of Xiu.
“If you dare to do anything to hurt her, I will burn your soul into pieces.” Although Shen Yanxiao might not be a good master as she often bullied him, Vermillion Bird would still not allow someone to injure her even a tiny bit.
A cluster of fiery flames was ignited in Vermillion Bird’s palm as he carefully watched Xiu’s every move.
The moment he see Xiu perform even a little bit of tampering, he would not hesitate to attack.
Xiu indifferently glanced at the nervous Vermillion Bird, and also immediately retracted his line of sight.
“If her consciousness won’t be sealed off, the pain of unlocking the third layer of the seal would put her in agony.”
Vermillion Bird was startled. He knew the strength of the Seven Stars Locking Moon. Each layer of the seal would bring a great deal of pain, and the upper the layer, the more intense the pain would be.
So, it seemed that this approach was really good for Shen Yanxiao.
Xiu didn’t explain further to Vermillion Bird. He closed his eyes and slowly urged up the traces of power he had just regained a while ago. Suddenly, a dark golden light radiated from his body, illuminating the heart lake.
Vermillion Bird was astonished to see the changes in Xiu’s body.The Divine power of the Divine Race was the supreme holy power. That golden radiance was the sign of the power of Gods. But the golden light shrouding Xiu’s body wasn’t pure and was rather broken. He could feel that the glow that was emanating from him was mingled with something that he hated.
This feeling could never be emitted by a Divine Race, but that color of eyes was clearly the symbol of the Gods!
Vermillion Bird watched the movements of Xiu with full caution. His heart was feeling very upset.
Who the hell was this mysterious guy in the end? In this world, someone who’s capable of unlocking the Seven Stars Locking Moon should have long ceased to exist!
The dark golden rays had gradually covered the eyes of Vermillion Bird, extending to the entire body of Shen Yanxiao.
Chapter 266 – Lou De’s Invitation (1)
When Shen Yanxiao woke up again, it was already the next morning. She was in a daze from being unconscious, and she felt a burst of pain from her head.
Shen Yanxiao tried to sit up, but just as soon as she moved, her bones made a snapping sounds.
The crisp sounds echoed within Shen Yanxiao’s ears, directly making her stunned.
What’s going on?
She was ready to undergo the painful process of unlocking the third layer of her seal, but even before she could fully prepare herself, she fell unconscious. And just when she woke up, the bones all over her body were like being disassembled and reconstituted, with an incomparable aching.
“Xiu, is the seal unlocked?” Shen Yanxiao endured that aching pain from her bones and reluctantly sat up.
‘Yes.’ Xiu’s voice was still as cold as snow. The only difference was now, Shen Yanxiao could imagine his expression through his voice.
‘You can examine the changes in your body.’
Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the bed.
After adapting to that kind of soreness, she unexpectedly found that her body was much lighter than before. She delightedly examined her whole body more, but didn’t find anything else that’s different.
‘The main effect of unlocking the third seal is your skeleton, which is much better now than it was before. It will be a great help to your magic and dou qi cultivation.’ Xiu was like a responsible tutor who guides Shen Yanxiao out of a difficult problem.
Shen Yanxiao randomly moved her hands and feet. Her movements were indeed much lighter than before. She tried using a curse technique. The result was that the movements of her hands became more swift as she performed the series of hand seals.
“This is good.” Shen Yanxiao faintly smiled. The changes in the root bone might not be very effective for the Magicians and Priests, but for the Warlocks, it was truly helpful. Because a faster movement of performing hand seals could bring more strength to the curse.
Shen Yanxiao freshen herself up in the hotel. She looked at the time and saw that her pharmaceutical class was yet to begin. She hastened to tidy up, then left the Black City and hurriedly went back to the Holy Roland School.
Shen Yanxiao had been absent for four days in the Pharmaceutical Branch. Today, she had managed to get back before class had begun.
She had just arrived at the Pharmaceutical Branch when she saw Tang Nazhi.
Tang Nazhi was aware that Shen Yanxiao didn’t return last night and he didn’t ask too much about it. Anyway, this little lass had been very secretive even before, he just thought that she was probably busy with something else.
“You’re finally coming to the class today. Right, this morning, when I haven’t gotten up from bed yet, someone came to the dorm to see you by mentor Lou De’s instruction.” Tang Nazhi said.
Lou De was the mentor who was in charge of the entrance examination of Shen Yanxiao. Shen Yanxiao had some impression of him. Since she had entered the Pharmaceutical Branch, Lou De had looked for her two times and asked about her growth in pharmaceutical. In her current accomplishments in pharmaceutical, everything was going smoothly and easily. She had completely crushed all the new students in the Pharmaceutical Branch and Lou De was full of praise for her.
Although Lou De was not a direct mentor to Shen Yanxiao, he would frequently ask Shen Yanxiao’s mentor to give more attention to her.
Because of this, Shen Yanxiao had a favorable impression of Lou De.
“What could be the matter that he needed someone to come and look for me?” Shen Yanxiao was a little curious. Although she had been in a sick leave for a few days, Lou De still didn’t have to look for her so urgently.
“I don’t know. But the guy said that after class, you should go and look for mentor Lou De.”
Chapter 267 – Lou De’s Invitation (2)
Tang Nazhi shrugged. It wasn’t a day or two since Shen Yanxiao had attracted the attention of the Pharmaceutical Branch. Although she was the youngest, her pharmaceutical skills were far superior compared to the other students.
Previously, after the test had just ended, right after a week or so had passed, some thick-headed and blind students from other classes saw that Shen Yanxiao was too young and thought that she had only managed to get into the purple class because of Qi Xia and the other talented people in her team, and so they’d wanted to challenge her so they could rise up to purple class instantly.
Unfortunately, those students had ended up miserably.
It wasn’t that their strength was too weak but because their challenge was just about making some potions that had already been taught at that time. So, with Shen Yanxiao’s natural talent of understanding thing with just little instructions, it was just as easy as reaching out and snatching things from them.
It only took her a minute or two to beat each one of them.
This time, no one dared to find her trouble.
“Then I’ll go and check on him later.” As a matter of fact, among the three branches she was in, the Pharmaceutical Branch was the least branch she cared about. Pharmaceutical wasn’t like dou qi and magic that relied on her seal to gain strength. What’s important for the pharmacist was your own ability, all she needed to do was go to her pharmacist class and learn bit by bit, completely unlike the Archer and Warlock that had a great speed in advancing a level.
Shen Yanxiao had been accustomed to the rapid speed and thrill of leveling up that she had always felt that her growth in pharmaceutical was too slow.
But now that she’s planning to make the Blood Feast Potion, naturally she should put her heart more into her pharmaceutical studies.
Her morning class was soon over. After Shen Yanxiao bid farewell to Tang Nazhi, she walked alone at last to Lou De’s place.
At this time, Lou De was sitting upright in his room. There was a serious expression on his face that made his face darker than the bottom of the pot.
And standing beside Lou De were two other pharmacist students, with their heads bent down to the extreme. The atmosphere made them unable to make a single sound.
“You truly have great skills, to be given one month to make a bottle of Breath Concealing Potion and yet be unsuccessful. Do you have a brain of a pig? To think that you two have been in the Pharmaceutical Branch for two years already, but unexpectedly didn’t even learn a bit! Do you think you deserve the clothes and badge of the purple class that you’re wearing right now?!” Lou De had a very tense face as he gritted his teeth while glaring at the two students in front of him.
He was in charge of the second year’s purple class of the Pharmaceutical Branch. He was responsible for these two students that was standing before him since they were under his management. As early as a month ago, he had started teaching the second year students with some intermediate-level concoction methods, and although the concoction of intermediate level potion was much higher than that of low level potion, the purple class he was responsible for was known to be the best among thousands of pharmacist students. Moreover, he had already been teaching them for one month.
This was like a nightmare for Lou De. These proud and arrogant students had a horrible performance in making intermediate level potion. In a whole one month, in a class of 100 people, only 20 students had barely made a full intermediate level potion, and the purity of these potions was even far from reaching the passing line, while the rest of them couldn’t even do the final step of the process.
Furthermore, these two students that were standing before him were the most talented of the batch, yet their mixing of the three types of medicinal herbs were not well balanced. In less than one month, they had destroyed a lot of medicinal herbs. And today, they were even brave enough that they’d actually added a catalytic powder during the concoction process.
In an instant, two explosions happened in the pharmacy room.
If it wasn’t because the students were scattered at that time, it was feared that these two explosions might had injured a lot of students.
Chapter 268 – Lou De’s Invitation (3)
“Truly promising youths; not even having any ability to make potions and still doing dishonest things! Do you really want to become a pharmacist?” Lou De’s aura had turned bad. The Pharmacist was a very sensitive profession, they could both save and harm the people. A perfect potion could save lives in distress, while a failed potion could push a person into a fire pit.
Using some external drugs that could catalyse the potion was decreed to be extremely prohibited by the Pharmacists.
These two students unexpectedly dared to do it right under his nose, making him lose his face [1]!
Shen Yanxiao had just arrived at the door when she heard Lou De’s tyrannosaurus roar. She blinked her eyes. Looking at the situation inside, she hesitated to go and hence decided to just wait for a while.
Lou De angrily stared at the two students who dared not utter a word, instead they hesitantly glanced at the door where Shen Yanxiao was.
“Shen Jue, come in.” It was only after seeing Shen Yanxiao did Lou De’s face finally got better.
“Mentor Lou De.” Shen Yanxiao obediently went in and swept a glance at the two scolded, abused students. Luo De’s skill in scolding was indeed ferocious.
“I heard from your mentor that you were ill these past few days. How are you now?” Luo De asked Shen Yanxiao with a soft voice, completely different from his cruel tone just a moment ago.
This huge difference immediately stimulated those two students that they raised their head to look at Shen Yanxiao.
In front of them was a student who had a small stature and didn’t have any great features to admire of. They soon noticed Shen Yanxiao’s badge on his chest. This badge has a shape of a star with five tips, indicating that this little guy was merely a new first year pharmacist student.
This new student whose features had nothing special to look at was unexpectedly capable of making Lou De, who was well known of being strict, turn gentle?
“I’m actually much better now.” Shen Yanxiao said while touching her nose. Luo De’s tone of voice didn’t seemed he would also make a trouble for her.
“Good.” Lou De nodded. Shen Yanxiao wasn’t a student that he was responsible for, but after the entrance exam for the Pharmaceutical Branch, he became more concerned about this freshman. Each time Shen Yanxiao would hand over a potion she had made, her mentor would eventually send it to Lou De. So, it could be said that Lou De had seen every bottle of potion that Shen Yanxiao had concocted.
And because of this, Lou De had been surprised with Shen Yanxiao’s innate skill in pharmaceutical.
Each potion that Shen Yanxiao had concocted were all extremely perfect that Lou De couldn’t find even a single trace of flaw.
“Learning is very important, but your own health is also equally important, so you shouldn’t let your body get exhausted.” Lou De said, his lips showing a rare smile.
Shen Yanxiao cleverly nodded. Deep inside, she was secretly flabbergasted that this Lou De who was known as a strict mentor had actually said such gentle words.
Could this be the legendary soft heart of a strong man?
[Guide Sky: Basically, like the saying that strong men has soft heart.]
Shen Yanxiao was silently embarrassed.
The other two students had been listening to this horror and they asked themselves, was this really the mentor Lou de that they knew? That strong teacher that could curse and abuse students within a minute was this person?
Don’t joke around. Since when had their teacher paid any attention to a student’s health?
Their teacher would never be a gentle one!
“I don’t know why mentor Lou De called me?” Shen Yanxiao asked.
Lou De looked at Shen Yanxiao, and then at his own students before he let out a heavy sigh and said: “Let’s set that aside for now. First, there’s a potion that I’d like you to try making. When you complete the task, I’ll tell you why I have called you here.”
[1] face \= reputation.
Chapter 269 – Breath Concealing Potion (1)
Make a potion? Shen Yanxiao was dumbfounded, even if her talent in pharmaceutics was high, in the end, she was still just a first-year student. Compared to her, Lou De was known as the venerable mentor of the Pharmaceutical Branch, and even if this identity was to be ignored, just being a Senior Pharmacist was enough to make all the students worship him.
A Senior Pharmacist was actually looking for her, a new student, to make a potion?
How would you not think of it as odd?
“May I know what potion is it?” Shen Yanxiao’s heart was full of doubts, but as a student she still remembered to maintain her behavior.
Lou De once again took a glimpse at those two students, and then unhurriedly said: “Breath Concealing Potion.”
“Breath Concealing Potion?” Shen Yanxiao was slightly surprised. Contrary to one might expect, she had already heard of this potion. It was that kind of potion that could reduce the user’s breath for a short amount of time and hide the user’s dou qi and magic. This Breath Concealing Potion was actually a sort of special item for some special occupations when dealing with important matters.
An example was when mercenaries were hunting for high level demon beast and magical beast, they’ll use this potion to conceal their own breath for a period of time so that the demon beast and magical beast wouldn’t be able to find even a tiny bit of their own traces.
If she remembered it correctly, the Breath Concealing Potion should be an intermediate level potion.
Was Lou De asking her to concoct an intermediate level potion?
She was obviously a new student who had enrolled just two months ago!
Lou De then nodded: “Yes, it’s Breath Concealing Potion. I have been teaching these students to concoct this potion for a month already. You can also try to concoct a bottle out. If you succeed, then we’ll at once discuss the rest of the matter, but in the event that you didn’t manage to concoct the potion, then you are free to go back.”
Lou De’s task not only made Shen Yanxiao surprised, even the two students were shocked enough that their jaw dropped on the floor.
Their mentor was crazy. Unexpectedly crazy enough that he’d asked a new first year student to concoct an intermediate level potion!
Heaven knows that this bottle of Breath Concealing Potion had killed a lot of their brain cells from racking their own brain in order to make it! Yet within the second year’s purple class, among all the students that had concocted a bottle of Breath Concealing Potion, almost all had their efforts gone to waste as only one fifth of the class had managed to do the objective!
The remaining four-fifth of the class had almost lose their life from concocting the Breath Concealing Potion.
Now, Lou De had unexpectedly asked this freshman student to concoct the potion that had tormented everyone in the second year’s purple class.
It wasn’t them who had gone crazy, it was Lou De who had gone mad.
Shen Yanxiao was somewhat hesitating. Up to now, she hadn’t had any difficulties in making low level potions, but she didn’t dare to underestimate the difficulty of intermediate level potions. She wasn’t certain if she could succeed.
But Lou De had obviously asked her to come here because there was something he wanted to discuss. Now that he put the task of making the Breath Concealing Potion before her, it was rather clear that LouDe would not be speaking with her if she couldn’t concoct the potion.
“If mentor Lou De can personally demonstrate it once, then I would be willing to give it a try.” Shen Yanxiao said as she looked at Lou De.
It’s better to give it a try and see if she could manage to make it than not trying at all and not knowing if she could do it in the end. Who knows, maybe she would manage to barely do it.
Even if there’s only 1% chance of succeeding, Shen Yanxiao wouldn’t give up.
“Very well.” Lou De felt satisfied.
“Come with me to the pharmacy room.”
The two students were also called to go along, and so they all walk together to their destination. The whole way, they looked at Lou De’s back and the petite figure beside him; their expressions were complicated.
“This little imp is truly reckless. Does he really think that he can concoct the Breath Concealing Potion?” One of the student was somewhat in a bad mood as he looked at Shen Yanxiao. Unlike them whom Lou De had scolded, Lou De treated this kid with endless concern. This difference in treatment made their mood pretty bad.
Chapter 270 – Breath Concealing Potion (2)
“Just him? Don’t joke around. Even our class’ Shangguan Xiao, with his talent, still needed a whole week to concoct the Breath Concealing Potion before he could make the finished product. If that juvenile can really learn how to concoct a Breath Concealing Potion by only seeing the process once, then I’ll immediately take my shoe and swallow it whole.”
Don’t be ridiculous. This person was still after all a new student who had just came a few months ago. If he really could concoct that intermediate level potion after just one glance at the process, then they should might as well go and hang themselves on a tree in the southeast!
“I don’t know what’s so good with this juvenile that mentor Lou De would treat him too nice.”
“I seem to remember that a moment ago, mentor Lou De called him Shen Jue. I feel like I heard that name before. He might be that student who is said to be the most talented among the freshmen.”
“But in the end, he’s still a new student, how great could his talent be?”
“Anyway, there’s nothing much we can do about it. Let’s just go along and see this joke.”
These two students, who were tormented by the Breath Concealing Potion and had almost died from concocting it were waiting to see Shen Yanxiao make a fool of herself.
The pharmacy room were located at the eastern part of the Pharmaceutical Branch. The area was three or four hundred square feet. Inside the huge pharmacy room, there were hundreds of various medicinal herbs neatly placed on the table, and on each table were utensils that were set up in a tidy manner.
There were several second year pharmacist students, who instead of going out after dismissal, had remained at the pharmacy room to practice.
When Lou De came inside the pharmacy room, the scattered students soon noticed their figures.
A lot of those students inside the room were from Lou De’s class. When they saw Lou De, they immediately looked like a mouse that had saw a cat, obediently came forward and greeted him.
After Lou De responded to them, he took Shen Yanxiao to the teacher’s table.
The students looked curiously at Shen Yanxiao.who was following Lou De.
“Hey, where did that kid came from and why did he went to our second year’s pharmacy room?” A second year student of the purple class curiously asked the two students who were scolded just a moment ago.
“Mentor Lou De asked this kid to concoct a Breath Concealing Potion.” The student said with an insincere smile on his face.
“… Concoct a Breath Concealing Potion? Has that kid practiced it before?” After hearing the student’s words, the group of students couldn’t maintain their calm anymore. Even the second year students of the purple class almost lose their lives from concocting one, now unexpectedly a new student was about to make it? Unbelievable.
“I can say that this kid doesn’t know the formula of the Breath Concealing Potion and just asked mentor Lou De to demonstrate the process once.”
“Are you telling the truth?”
“Don’t joke around. If we can make it after seeing the process just once then we don’t need to bury ourselves in here studying it.”
Everyone who heard it thought that everything they said was just a joke.
That was an intermediate level potion that even their most talented classmate, Shangguan Xiao needed a week to concoct one. And now, a new freshman student actually dared to say that he could make it after watching the process once? This was simply the biggest joke they had ever heard.
Soon, the students began to surround Lou De and Shen Yanxiao in the pharmacy room. There was a mockery and contempt in their eyes, targeting Shen Yanxiao’s body.
They were all looking forward to see this new student embarrassed himself.
Lou De didn’t pay any heed to the mood of the other students, he just wanted to see how great Shen Yanxiao’s pharmaceutical skills were.
“I’ll start now, I’ll only show you just one time so you have to watch carefully.” Lou De actually intended to teach Shen Yanxiao several times to clearly see Shen Yanxiao’s talent but since Shen Yanxiao only asked him to do it once, then he would just do it once.
