Chapter 338 You Choose
Hu Hanhai's lie detection ability is very strong, but there is a big problem with his ability -
Maybe Su Xia did not lie. In Su Xia's heart, this thing is very precious. But what if Su Xia's vision is too narrow and he regards an ordinary treasure as a precious treasure?
The sixth-level pharmacist would not look down on ordinary things.
So Hu Hanhai asked to take a look and confirm it personally.
He had studied pharmacy before, but after half a year he was still at the apprentice level. He felt a headache when he saw those densely packed numbers, words, and pictures, so he finally gave up.
Although he didn't go too far on this path, he had seen many high-level potion formulas.
He really couldn't understand the recipe of "Dream Enchantment", but he was basically certain that the level of the recipe was not low, so he praised it.
Liu Jinjia sent him a message: "If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand. What should I, your disciple, do when you are so impressed?"
Hu Hanhai replied: "Your apprentice can do whatever he wants. He is the store manager here."
Liu Jinjia: "Since you, the elder, have praised me, how can my disciple Yinjia refuse him? I can only take him to see the master and let him communicate with the master face to face... If something goes wrong, I will not be responsible."
Hu Hanhai: "Okay, blame me if there's any problem. I'll go and apologize to the master."
Of course, Liu Yinjia did not see Hu Hanhai praising Su Xia with his own eyes.
When he returned, he only saw Su Xia and Hu Hanhai toasting and chatting, and he was still wondering how Su Xia got close to this big guy.
But A Feng is a big mouth who can't sit still. As soon as he saw Liu Yinjia, he gave Su Xia a thumbs up and said proudly: "Boss, my brother's recipe must be fine. Boss Hu praised him just now."
"Um?"
Liu Yinjia was stunned and moved his gaze to look at his master Liu Jinjia.
Liu Jinjia remained silent, just nodded slightly, indicating that Afeng was right.
After getting the confirmation, Liu Yinjia was a little bit unbelievable and looked at Su Xia again.
Even a Level 5 creature recognized it, could it be that this newcomer really had a very special formula? This question flashed through his mind.
At the same time, another question flashed through my mind - does Boss Hu Hanhai also understand potions?
This big guy is famous for his strength, but I have never heard of how high his attainments are in pharmacy.
Liu Yinjia had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask. After all, Hu Hanhai was his senior, and it would be impolite to ask proactively.
He could only ask Su Xia: "Do you know anything about pharmacy?"
Su Xia replied: "I understand a little bit."
Liu Yinjia frowned and said, "You have to know that if you want to be recognized by that master, the higher the potion formula, the better. Some high-level formulas have long been circulated... As a sixth-level pharmacist, that master has collected almost all the formulas that can be collected. The formula you come up with must be special enough."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Hanhai, who was standing next to him, felt a jolt in his heart.
He could only see that it was a high-level formula, but he forgot this point.
Some high-level formulas have indeed been circulated, and even a lot of sixth-level formulas have been circulated, and they can be bought as long as you have money.
In this regard, Liu Yinjia, the junior, thinks more and more carefully than him. It seems that being a store manager is indeed a good training method.
Hu Hanhai glanced at Su Xia's expression and found that Su Xia was still calm.
All I heard was Su Xia saying, "Manager, don't worry. My recipe has not yet been circulated in the mainland. It is my private property."
"Then follow me."
Liu Yinjia said, "I wanted to ask a fourth-level pharmacist in this city to check your formula, but since Lord Hu has approved your formula, I think it should be fine."
“…”
Hu Hanhai next to him glanced at him, drank silently and said nothing.
Just like that, Su Xia followed Liu Yinjia away.
The two entered the corridor on one side of the hall and walked along the dimly lit corridor to the depths of the tavern.
After they left, the bar became quiet.
Afeng was holding a small wine glass, looking towards the corridor excitedly.
"It has to work." He couldn't help but whisper to himself.
That kind of medicinal wine is countless times more precious than the sixth-level potion. After all, the materials are rare. If this deal can be made, as the introducer, he can get at least a six-digit bounty, which is enough for him to live a carefree life for a while.
At the same time, Hu Hanhai and Liu Jinjia, who were sitting on the other side of the bar, began to communicate again.
Hu Hanhai sent a message to Liu Jinjia: "Why do I feel that your apprentice has something else in his words just now?"
Liu Jinjia replied: "What's wrong?"
Hu Hanhai: "He said 'since I have already approved it', which was obviously said on purpose to put the blame on me."
Liu Jinjia : “Isn’t that right?”
Hu Hanhai: "You are such a boring disciple. You don't even know how to respect your seniors."
Liu Jinjia: “…”
At this time, Liu Tongjia walked out from the corridor.
He looked around and found that his master and Su Xia were not here. They must have gone to see the master.
He walked to the bar and greeted respectfully his master Liu Jinjia and Hu Hanhai beside him.
Then he quickly walked to Afeng, asked for a glass of wine and sat down.
"A Feng, what do you think?" As soon as he sat down, Liu Tongjia asked in a low voice: "Master was here just now, so I didn't have a chance to speak. I just want to ask, why did you bring a newcomer in?"
"It's not shameful to make money." A Feng smiled, "Little Boss, don't be angry."
"How can I not be angry?"
Liu Tongjia held the wine glass tightly and said, "Because of this, Master almost cancelled my status as a disciple."
Upon hearing this, A Feng was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Little Boss, is it really that serious?"
Liu Tongjia asked back: "What do you think?"
"Not really."
"Very much."
"Little boss, calm down. I really just want to make some money." Afeng smiled apologetically.
"Some money cannot be earned!" Liu Tongjia glared at him, "I am also short of money, so I dare not do this!"
"this……"
Afeng scratched his head. He didn't want to offend Liu Tongjia. After all, he would have to continue living in this place in the future.
He hesitated for a while and whispered, "Little Boss, how about this, if the job is done, we can split the reward 30% to 70%?"
Liu Tongjia gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Is this a matter of money? No matter how much money you have, it will be useless!"
A Feng directly held out three fingers: "You seven, I three."
"You... okay, this won't happen again."
"Okay!"
…
On the other side, Su Xia and Liu Yinjia walked to the end of a long and narrow corridor.
Turning the corner at the end, you can see a black metal door.
Liu Yinjia took out his ID card and swiped it on the sensor at the door. The sensor beeped and the verification was passed.
Then he pressed the door lock, opened the metal door, turned to Su Xia and said, "Follow me in."
"good."
Su Xia nodded, followed closely, and walked into the room behind the door.
The room was dark, with pitch-black walls and floors. There were only a few dark blue light bulbs on. There was a long table in the middle with a chair on each side of the table. It looked like some kind of special interrogation room.
There are movable robotic arms on the top of the entire room, with projection devices installed on them.
Liu Yinjia said to Su Xia, "Sit on the chair on the left and wait for the master to project over. The master is very busy, so you may need to wait for a few minutes, or even longer."
"OK."
There was a lot of metal in this room. Su Xia sensed it carefully and found that there was no danger. It was just an ordinary projection room.
Following Liu Yinjia's instructions, he walked to the chair on the left, sat down, and waited quietly.
Liu Yinjia didn't say anything else, just turned around and walked out of the room.
"drop!"
There was a slight sound from outside the door, and the door slowly closed, isolating the world inside the room from the outside.
Just like that, Su Xia was the only one left in the room.
As a person seeking an audience, he has to wait.
If the master is busy and cannot spare time, Su Xia may have to wait for several hours.
Su Xia silently calculated the time. It was not yet eight o'clock in the morning, so he could wait.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long.
About three minutes later, the projection device on the ceiling in front of him started up.
“Buzz——!”
The devices at the ends of the robotic arms lit up one by one, casting pale blue lights that intertwined with each other as the robotic arms moved, creating illusory human figures in the air.
The figure's legs appeared first, followed by its torso and hands, and lastly its head.
Finally, a woman who looked to be in her forties appeared in front of Su Xia. She was not tall, had an ordinary appearance, and was wearing a gray pharmacist's robe.
She seemed to have just gone through a failed experiment, and her robe was stained with corrosive solution that was sizzling and smoking.
Also projected was a large area of broken bottles and jars in front of her.
“What a hassle!”
The woman frowned, reached out and tore off the corroded piece of robe, talking to herself, as if she didn't notice Su Xia in front of her.
Su Xia was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
Most high-level pharmacists have strange tempers. Try not to provoke them if you can, and try to follow their wishes when communicating.
After a few minutes, the woman cleaned up the debris and medicine residue in front of her, then she raised her head and noticed Su Xia in front of her.
"Huh? When did the projection device turn on?" The woman seemed a little surprised. She muttered to herself and subconsciously slapped Su Xia. The illusory palm passed through Su Xia's head.
Then, she stretched out her hand and tapped in the air a few times, seemingly controlling the equipment on her side.
"No, it's not this... it's still not right..."
She kept mumbling something in a mysterious way.
Su Xia could understand it at first, but later he couldn't hear it clearly anymore. The woman changed into several languages while talking to herself.
Finally, she switched back to normal language and said to herself, "Hmm, an application from the southwest of the continent, Seahorse City? I don't remember it, let me see... Next to it is Coral City, so this is the place..."
Sure enough, in the southwest of the mainland, Coral City is the most famous.
Most of the other dozens of small cities have no special features and their names are somewhat similar, making it difficult for people who don’t pay attention to them to remember them.
"No, something is wrong..."
The woman suddenly stopped operating and still ignored Su Xia. She seemed to be standing there in a daze, staring at the void in front of her, motionless.
Just like this for more than a minute, the woman suddenly slapped her forehead, as if she remembered something: "No, I haven't had dinner yet!"
Su Xia on the other side was puzzled.
It's already eight o'clock in the morning. What are we having for dinner?
All I could hear was the woman mumbling to herself: "It's already eight o'clock, time to have breakfast... No, the three meals a day rule cannot be broken. I'll go hungry for a day and eat at night..."
Su Xia remained silent and continued to wait.
More than twenty minutes passed in a flash. The woman was muttering to herself and walking around like an insane patient.
When it was half past eight in the morning, she suddenly stopped.
Then she twisted her neck and stared at Su Xia with interest. After a moment, she took a few steps forward, walked to the chair, and finally sat down.
"Little boy, are you here to buy something?" Her voice returned to normal and her tone was steady.
"Yes." Su Xia replied.
"Where are your parents?"
"Dead."
"How pitiful! You lost your parents at such a young age. Do you want me to use the Undead Potion to help your parents in the resurrection match?"
“…”
Su Xia's brain almost didn't react. She was stunned for several seconds and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
The conversation at the beginning was not quite what he had imagined.
These high-level pharmacists really all have some mental problems.
No, except Dad.
Dad's mental state is still very stable.
The undead potion the woman was talking about was most likely a rare sixth-tier potion.
It was impossible to revive the dead, but Su Xia could guess the principle, so she asked, "Let the liquid or atomized medicine enter the body of the corpse, and then manipulate the liquid medicine to make the corpse move?"
"Hey, the kid is pretty quick, is he also a pharmacist?"
"Yes."
"What do you want to buy?"
"A few bottles of wine."
"Oh... Auntie, the things here are quite expensive. Have you brought enough sincerity?"
The woman looked at Su Xia straight in the eye, her tone relaxed.
Su Xia immediately took out the medicine formula, spread it out one by one, and laid it flat on the table.
The woman opposite looked normal at first, and just took a quick look, as if she didn't think a young man like Su Xia could come up with any good recipe.
But soon, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She stood up from her seat, picked up the phantoms of the potion formulas, and examined them carefully one by one.
"All of these materials are toxic, how can they be combined like this? And these two..."
"… inhibiting the excitement of brain nerves… what is the final effect of the drug? Treating mental illness? Sensory abnormalities? Or…"
The woman's expression became more serious, like a completely different person from before, and she read every line and every word carefully.
When she saw the last page, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
After reading it, she sat back in her chair.
She put down the virtual formula, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Su Xia, carefully looking at Su Xia from top to bottom, as if thinking about something.
"You may have disguised your appearance, but your eyes look very young, at most in your early , and eyes can't lie." She suddenly spoke, and did not mention the formula, but instead mentioned Su Xia's appearance.
Su Xia did not respond to this. Based on this sentence alone, he could not guess what the woman wanted to do.
He remained calm, waiting for the woman's next words.
"In the southwest of the continent, there are not many pharmacists who can create their own potion formulas." The woman looked at him and spoke slowly, "There are even fewer pharmacists who can create their own fourth-level formulas. There is only one person who is suitable for your age."
The southwest of the mainland is deep inland, with scarce resources, and the average level of pharmacists is also the lowest in the entire continent.
Not to mention creating one's own fourth-level formula, there are very few proper fourth-level pharmacists.
An ordinary fourth-level pharmacist can only refine potions according to fourth-level recipes. Even geniuses like Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu have just embarked on the road of creation.
The woman looked into Su Xia's eyes and said in a serious tone, word by word: "Are you the apprentice of that old guy, Su Xia?"
Su Xia's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly heard her name.
But he remained calm and replied calmly: "My name is Liu Xing, and you can find my information inside the tavern. Auntie, did you recognize the wrong person? The recipe was not created by me, but I found it in the mountains."
"Your name is Liu Xing?"
The woman suddenly smiled and said to him, "I can sell my wine to Su Xia, but not to Liu Xing. You can choose for yourself."
