Chapter 338: Your Choice
Hu Hanhai's polygraph ability is very strong, but he has a big problem with this ability-
Maybe Su Xia really didn't lie, in Su Xia's heart, this thing is very precious, but what if Su Xia's vision is too low and he treats ordinary treasures as treasures?
Ordinary things, that sixth-order pharmacist can't look down on.
So Hu Hanhai asked to take a look at it and confirm it in person.
He had also learned potions before, but after studying for half a year, he was still at the apprentice level, and he felt a headache when he saw those dense numbers, words, and pictures, and finally gave up.
Although he hadn't traveled far on this road, he had seen quite a few high-level potion recipes.
He really couldn't understand the recipe for "Dreaming of Ecstasy", but he was basically sure that the formula was not of a low level, so he praised it.
Liu Jinjia sent him a message: "Since you don't understand, don't pretend to understand, you are so admired, what should my apprentice do?"
Hu Hanhai replied: "Your apprentice can do whatever he wants, he is the manager here."
Liu Jinjia: "Your elder has praised him, can my apprentice Yinjia still refuse him?" I can only take him to the master and let him communicate with the master face to face...... When the time comes, I don't care if something goes wrong."
Hu Hanhai: "Okay, blame me for the problem, I'll go and apologize to the master."
Of course, Liu Yinjia did not see Hu Hanhai praise Su Xia with his own eyes.
When he returned, he only saw Su Xia and Hu Hanhai toasting and chatting, and wondered how Su Xia climbed up to this big guy.
But Ah Feng is a big mouth that can't be idle, as soon as he saw Liu Yinjia, he gestured to Su Xia with his thumb and said proudly: "Boss Store, my brother's recipe must be fine, Boss Hu praised him just now."
"Huh?"
Liu Yinjia was stunned for a moment, moved his gaze, and looked at his master Liu Jinjia.
Liu Jinjia was silent, just nodded slightly, indicating that Ah Feng was right.
After receiving the confirmation, Liu Yinjia was a little incredulous and looked at Su Xia again.
Even the fifth-level creature has been recognized, could it be that this newcomer really has an extremely special formula on him? The question flashed through his mind.
At the same time, there is another question that flashed - Hu Hanhai also knows medicine?
This big guy is famous for his strength, and I've never heard of how highly accomplished he is in potions.
Liu Yinjia had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask, after all, Hu Hanhai was a senior, and it was not polite to take the initiative to ask.
He could only ask Su Xia, "Do you know how to use potions?"
Su Xia replied, "I understand a little."
Liu Yinjia frowned and said, "You must know that if you want that master to approve, the higher the potion formula, the better, and some high-level formulas have already spread...... That master, as a sixth-order apothecary, has collected almost all the recipes that can be collected, and the recipes you come up with must be special enough."
As soon as these words came out, Hu Hanhai next to him sighed in his heart.
He could only see that it was a high-level formula, but he forgot about it.
Some high-level formulas have indeed spread, and even sixth-order formulas have many that have been circulated, and they can be bought as long as they spend money.
In this regard, Liu Yinjia, a junior, thinks more and more carefully than him, and it seems that being a store manager is indeed very good at exercising people.
Hu Hanhai glanced at Su Xia's expression and found that Su Xia was still very calm.
I only heard Su Xia say, "Don't worry, the store manager, my recipe has not yet spread in the mainland, and it is considered my private."
"Then come with me."
Liu Yinjia said, "I originally wanted to ask a fourth-order pharmacist from this city to check your formula, but since Lord Hu has approved your formula, it's no problem to think about it."
「……」
Hu Hanhai next to him glanced at him, drank silently, and didn't say anything.
In this way, Su Xia followed Liu Yinjia away.
The two entered the hallway on the side of the hall and walked down the dimly lit hallway to the depths of the tavern.
After they left, there was silence in front of the bar.
Ah Feng held a small wine
Cup, excited, has been looking in the direction of the corridor.
"It must be done." He couldn't help but whisper to himself.
That kind of medicinal wine is countless times more precious than the sixth-order elixir, after all, the material is rare, if this sum can be negotiated, as an introducer, he can get at least a six-figure bounty, which is enough for him to be chic 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: "How do I feel, your apprentice has something to say just now."
Liu Jinjia replied, "What's wrong?"
Hu Hanhai: "He said "Since I have all agreed", which was obviously deliberately said, and he wanted to lead the responsibility to me."
Liu Jinjia: "Isn't it right?"
Hu Hanhai: "Your apprentice is really boring, you don't know how to respect the old-timers."
Liu Jinjia: "......"
At this time, Liu Tongjia walked out of the corridor.
He looked around and saw that neither his master nor Su Xia were here, and he must have gone to see that master.
He walked to the bar and greeted his master Liu Jinjia and Hu Hanhai on the side.
Then, he walked quickly to Ah Feng's side and asked for a glass of wine and sat down.
"Feng, what do you think?" As soon as he sat down, Liu Tongjia asked in a suppressed voice, "Master was here just now, I didn't have a chance to speak, I just wanted to ask, why did you bring a new person in?"
"Make money, don't chill." Ah Feng smiled, "Little boss, don't be angry."
"How can I not be angry?"
Liu Tongjia clenched the wine glass tightly and said, "Because of this, Master almost canceled my disciple status."
Upon hearing this, Ah Feng was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Little boss, is it so serious?"
Liu Tongjia asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"
"Not really."
"Very much."
"Little boss, you dissipate your anger, I really just want to make some money." Ah Feng smiled.
"If you have money, you can't make it!" Liu Tongjia glared at him, "I'm also short of money, so I don't dare to do this!"
"This ......"
Ah Feng scratched his head, he didn't want to offend Liu Tongjia, after all, he would continue to live in this place in the future.
He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Little boss, let's do this, if things can be done, how about the bounty we earn?"
Liu Tongjia gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Is this a matter of money? No amount of money is useless!"
Ah Feng directly stretched out three fingers: "You are seven, I am three."
"You...... Okay, let's not be an example."
"Okay!"
……
On the other side, Su Xia and Liu Yinjia walked to the end of a long and narrow corridor.
At the end, you can see a black metal door.
Liu Yinjia took out his identity card and swiped the sensor by the door, and the sensor sounded "drop" and passed the verification.
Then, he pressed the lock, opened the metal door, turned to Su Xia and said, "Come in with me."
"Okay."
Su Xia nodded, followed closely, and walked into the room behind the door.
The room was dark, the walls and floors were dark, only a few dark blue lamps were lit around, and in the center was a long table with a chair on the left and right, which looked like some kind of special interrogation room.
The entire room is topped by a movable robotic arm with a projection device mounted on it.
Liu Yinjia said to Su Xia, "Sit on the chair on the left, and wait for the master projection to come over, the master is very busy, you may need to wait a few minutes, or more."
"Okay."
There is a lot of metal in this room, Su Xia sensed it carefully, there is no danger, it is just an ordinary projection room.
According to Liu Yinjia's words, he walked to the chair on the left side and sat down, waiting quietly.
Liu Yinjia didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked out of the room directly.
"Drop!"
There was a soft sound outside the door, and the door slowly closed, isolating the world inside the room from the outside of the room.
In this way, Su Xia was the only one left in the room.
As a seeker, he had to wait.
If that master was busy and couldn't take a break, then Su Xia could wait for a few hours.
Su Xia silently calculated the time, it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning, and he could afford to wait.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long.
About three minutes later, the projection device on the ceiling in front of him was activated.
"Buzz ——!"
The devices at the end of the robotic arms lit up one after another, projecting light blue rays, intertwining with each other with the actions of the robotic arms, interweaving illusory figures in the air.
The figure's legs appeared first, followed by the body and hands, and the head was the last.
In the end, what appeared in front of Su Xia was a woman who looked to be in her forties, not tall, ordinary-looking, and wearing a gray apothecary's robe.
She seemed to be going through a failed experiment, her robes stained with a caustic solution of potions and smoking.
Along with the projection, there was a large mass of broken bottles and cans in front of her.
"What a nuisance!"
The woman frowned, reached out and tore off the corroded robe, talking to herself, as if she hadn't noticed Su Xia in front of her.
Su Xia was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
Most of the high-level pharmacists are people with strange tempers, so try not to provoke them if they can, and try to follow each other's wishes when communicating.
After a few more minutes, the woman cleaned up all the debris and potion residues in front of her before she looked up and noticed Su Xia in front of her.
"Huh? When was the projection device turned on?" The woman seemed to be a little surprised, muttered to herself, and subconsciously slapped Su Xia, and the illusory palm passed through Su Xia's head.
Then, I saw her reach out and tap a few times in the air, as if she was controlling the equipment on her side.
"No, it's not this...... Still not right......
She kept babbling something out of her mouth.
Su Xia could understand at first, but then she couldn't hear clearly, and the woman changed several languages in her own words.
Finally, she switched back to her regular language and said to herself, "Well, the application from the southwest of the mainland, Seahorse City? I'm not impressed, I'll take a look...... Next to it is Coral City, which is the place it used to be......
Sure enough, in the southwest of the mainland, Coral City is the most famous.
Most of the remaining dozens of small cities have no characteristics, and their names are somewhat similar, which is difficult for those who don't pay attention to remember them.
"No, what's wrong......
The woman suddenly stopped the operation, still ignoring Su Xia, as if she was stunned in place, staring at the void in front of her, motionless.
After more than a minute, the woman suddenly slapped her forehead, as if remembering something: "No, I haven't eaten dinner yet!"
Su Xia on the other side heard a question mark.
It's eight o'clock in the morning, what's dinner?
The woman was heard muttering to herself, "It's eight o'clock, it's time for breakfast...... No, the rule of three meals cannot be broken, and if you are hungry for one day, you will eat again in the evening......
Su Xia was silent and continued to wait.
More than twenty minutes passed in a flash, and the woman was sometimes babbling, sometimes walking around, like a delirious psychopath.
When it was half past eight in the morning, she suddenly stopped.
Then, she twisted her neck and stared at Su Xia with interest, and after a few moments, she took a few steps forward, walked to the chair, and finally sat down.
"Kid, you're here to buy something?" Her voice returned to normal, and her tone was steady.
"Yes." Susha replied.
"Where's your adult?"
"Dead."
"It's really pitiful, you don't have your parents at such a young age, do you want me to use the elixir of the dead to help your parents fight the resurrection match?"
「……」
Su Xia's mind almost didn't turn, and he was stunned for several seconds, not knowing how to answer for a while.
The dialogue at the beginning was not quite what he had imagined.
These high-level pharmacists really have a bit of mental problems.
No, except for Daddy.
Daddy's spirit is still very stable.
The elixir of the dead mentioned by the woman was most likely a rare sixth-order elixir.
It was impossible to resurrect the dead, but Su Xia could guess how it worked, so he asked, "Let the liquid or atomized potion enter the corpse's body, and then manipulate the liquid to make the corpse move?"
"Hey, the kid reacts very quickly, and he's also a pharmacist?"
"Yes."
"What do you want to buy?"
"A few bottles of cider."
"Oh...... Auntie, things are more expensive here, have you brought enough sincerity?"
The woman looked at Su Xia at eye level, and her tone was relaxed.
Su Xia immediately took out the potion formula, spread it out one by one, and spread it out on the table.
The woman opposite looked as usual at first, but she just glanced at it twice, and didn't seem to think that a young man like Su Xia could come up with any good formula.
But soon, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she got up from her seat, picked up the phantoms of those potion formulas, and carefully observed them one by one.
"All of these materials are toxic, can they be combined like this? There are two ......."
「…… Inhibits brain nerve excitation...... What is the final effect? Treatment of psychosis? Sensory abnormalities? Or ......"
The woman's expression became more and more serious, and she carefully read every line and every word.
By the time 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, and then looked up at Su Xia, seriously looking at Su Xia from top to bottom, thoughtfully.
"You may have disguised your appearance, but your eyes are young, in your early twenties at most, and you can't deceive people." She suddenly spoke, and did not say anything about the formula, but mentioned Su Xia's appearance.
Su Xia didn't respond to this, and based on this sentence alone, he couldn't speculate what this woman wanted to do for the time being.
He remained calm and waited quietly for the woman's next words.
"In the southwest of the mainland, there are not many pharmacists who can create their own pharmaceutical formulas." The woman looked at him and spoke slowly, "There are even fewer pharmacists who can create their own fourth-order formulas, and there is only one person of your age."
Deep inland in the southwest of the continent, resources are poor, and the average level of pharmacists is also at the bottom of the continent.
Not to mention the self-created fourth-order formula, there are very few serious fourth-order pharmacists.
Ordinary fourth-order pharmacists can only refine potions according to the fourth-order formula, even geniuses like Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu have just embarked on the path of creation.
The woman looked into Su Xia's eyes, said in a solemn tone, word by word, "You are that old guy's little apprentice, Su Xia?"
Suddenly hearing his name, Su Xia's heart jumped.
But he still remained calm and replied calmly, "My name is Ryuxing, and you can find my information inside the tavern, Auntie, are you the wrong person?" I didn't create the recipe myself, I picked it up in the mountains."
"Your name is Ryuhoshi?"
The woman suddenly laughed and said to him, "My wine can be sold to Su Xia, but not to Ryuxing, so you can choose for yourself."
