Although the apothecary was small, it gave Su Xia a comfortable feeling that no other place could give in any way.

Su Xia lay on the bed, her eyes slightly closed, her sensing ability radiated, and she began to feel the changes in this small shop.

"During this time, the reinforcement work of the store has been completed......

From the outside, this small shop is no different from the previous ones.

The interior of the store is still the same, the old wooden furniture in the corner precipitates the breath of time, antique, unique charm, even the floor is the same as before, there is a slight creak when stepping on it.

Only Su Xia could sense that there were a large number of metal reinforcements in various key positions of the overall structure of the store.

Not only the above-ground shop area, but also the basement below has been reinforced, with metal beams supporting the top of the first two basement floors, creating a stable structure and using the highest standard of metal materials.

As for the third layer below, the giant underground cavity, it didn't need to be reinforced, after all, the entire city underground was a similar cavity.

As long as nothing else, this small shop can survive the wind and rain for a hundred or two hundred years.

All this is thanks to Su Jianjian, the minister of the urban construction department, who personally came to the pharmacy to supervise the work outside the pharmacy every day to ensure that every step was implemented.

"I should have invited him to have a meal with the main construction staff, but unfortunately I wasn't here before, so let's invite him together when the school project is completed." Su Xia is not the kind of person who does not understand the world, and he immediately had an idea in his heart.

During his absence, he relied on the "narcissistic doll" to make occasional appearances in his place to let outsiders know that he was still in Coral City.

Now, the puppet has been reclaimed by Su Xia in the storage space.

This thing is not a doppelganger after all, it's just a smart toy, it's okay to show up simply, once you talk to people too much, it's easy to expose flaws and be seen as strange.

Now that Su Xia is back, all the things that no puppet can do before can now be done by him himself.

The first thing was naturally to refine the fourth-order elixir of "Dream Ecstasy".

This is the key to saving Yimo and Shen Yu.

"Those two little girls have been confused for too long, and they should be sober."

As soon as she thought of this, Su Xia immediately got up from the bed.

He pushed open the door, hurried downstairs, stepped on the creaking floor to the first floor, and gently pressed the old chandelier of the first floor of the pharmacy.

"Smack!"

The light was still warm yellow, and the familiar potions and shelves were reflected in Su Xia's eyes.

At this time, it was only dark outside, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and most of the shops on both sides were closed, except for a few breakfast houses.

"It's still all familiar."

Across the street, Boss Zhao was busy, wearing a white chef's uniform and holding a rolling pin in his hand, as if he was rolling dough.

The street lights were dim and a little blurry in the early morning mist.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Su Xia pushed open the door of the pharmacy, and a refreshing morning breeze immediately hit his face, he stood at the door and stretched, and then hung up the sign of "Open".

When Boss Zhao across the street saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Master Su, it's early today!" ”

"Morning!"

Su Xia responded with a smile on her face.

Then, he turned back to his workbench and removed the various instruments needed to refine the Dream Ecstasy from the shelf, and placed them in the corner of the workbench for later use.

"I haven't refined potions for too long, some hands are raw, try refining something else first."

Su Xia thought for a moment, took a piece of dark blue ore from the shelf, threw it into a mortar, and slowly crushed it until it turned into blue particles like fine sand.

After that, he went to the basement to get the rest of the dozen materials.

The potion he used to test his hands, called "The Other Shore Blue", was a fourth-order elixir with medium refining difficulty, and it had hallucinogenic effects.

The refining process went smoothly, there were almost no mistakes, and a bottle of dark blue potion was baked.

Su Xia held the potion bottle, shook it slightly, and nodded slightly: "It seems that the proficiency is still there, there is no jerkiness, try something else, if it is no problem, start trying to refine the Dream Ecstasy, as for the matter of breaking through the fifth-order pharmacist, there is no hurry for the time being, there is time in the past two days." ”

Next, Su Xia refined several fourth-order potions of varying difficulty.

One of the most difficult, called "Born Like a Summer Flower", is a kind of potion that temporarily increases the vitality of the potion, and the difficulty of refining is close to the fifth-order elixir, but it is still successfully refined by Su Xia at one time.

Looking at the pale red liquid in his hand, Su Xia thought for a while and felt that it was almost there.

Potions below the fifth order were no longer difficult for him.

"Let's get started......"

Su Xia took a deep breath and tidied up the workbench, washed away the traces of the previous refining potion with clean water, and removed the extra tools, leaving only the necessities.

He then changed into a new pair of disposable gloves and took out a "pimple fish" from the storage space.

The venom gland of this fish is one of the necessary materials for refining the dream ecstasy.

The venom glands must be fresh.

This is exactly the reason why Su Xia personally traveled to the south before.

His storage space has a freshness effect, what things are like when they are put in, and what they are like when they are taken out.

Fortunately, Su Xia went, otherwise, it would be Zhuang Ren who got the poison gland now, and that guy would directly freeze the poison gland, causing protein denaturation.

Many people don't know that the main component of most biological venoms is proteins, such as the venom of poisonous snakes, poisonous bees and other organisms, which will not be broken down into harmless amino acids when it enters the stomach.

"Stinging ——!"

Su Xia used a knife to gently cut open the belly of the fish, and a fishy smell unique to the internal organs of sea fish suddenly came to his face, making Su Xia couldn't help frowning, and had a feeling of returning to the seafood market.

Fortunately, the windows and doors of the store were open, and the refreshing morning breeze blew away the smell.

The next steps are not complicated.

Find the venom gland and remove the intact venom gland and extract the venom from it.

Andrew said that this venom is an excellent hallucinogen, acting on biological nerves, and a small drop can make people indulge in pleasant hallucinations for an hour or two, comparable to the best quality white noodles, so many wealthy people rush to buy ......"

Su Xia looked focused, wearing goggles, and staring at the glass dropper in his hand.

There is a light blue liquid in the dropper, which is the venom that has been initially isolated from the venom glands.

The gap between the rich and the poor in this world is too big, and the rich people have too much money to burn, and they have already enjoyed all kinds of synthetic psychotropic drugs, so they have set their sights on this kind of pure natural things.

This reminded Su Xia of a country on the other side of the globe, where some young people were addicted to licking toads.

Su Xia shook his head slightly, he really couldn't understand the world of those young people.

He placed the dropper on the shelf and began to prepare the rest of the materials.

Su Xia had seen the recipe for dreaming and ecstasy many times, and all the steps were kept in mind, so that there would be no mistakes.

But to be on the safe side, he still sticks the recipe above the workbench so that he can see it at all times.

"You need to use psychedelic grass, which is also an illusionary material.

"There is also the rainbow grass fruit, another material that can bring hallucinations, and it is very toxic, taking too much can cause symptoms such as headaches, vomiting, and twitching of the limbs.

"There are also several materials that are also mildly toxic, all of which have hallucinogenic effects.

"This recipe, using so many hallucinogenic poisons, is it intended to fight poison with poison?"

Su Xia thought about it as she mixed the potion, considering whether she needed to add the rest of the ingredients.

His current ability is no longer limited to the original formula, and it is not too difficult to create a formula or improve the formula, which is something that other fourth-order pharmacists or even fifth-order pharmacists can't do.

In the midst of this contemplation, the first potion was soon released.

First-time success.

Su Xia was not surprised, this was his normal level.

At this time, there was a sudden creaking sound on the stairs, and it was Hong Bafu who had gone downstairs.

He stared at Su Xia with a look of surprise and asked, "Brother Su, why didn't you go upstairs to retreat and write a book today, was the textbook written so quickly?" I've heard that it takes at least months, if not years, for others to write a book. ”

"Still." Su Xia smiled lightly, "I've been sitting upstairs for too long, so I'll come down and make a move, and by the way, I'll verify some ideas." ”

"What ideas are verified?"

Hong Bafu saw the potion in Su Xia's hand at a glance, rubbed his eyes, and said in surprise, "Huh...... Purple Elixir? Is it a 'purple butterfly'? Or 'hyacinth'? Or did you come up with a new potion, brother? ”

"yes, that's what I'm trying to validate."

Su Xia didn't hide it, and directly threw the recipe for the dream ecstasy to Hong Bafu and let him explore it by himself.

"It's ...... A new fourth-order potion? ”

As soon as he saw that it was a fourth-order elixir, Hong Bafu's eyes suddenly lit up, and as if he had obtained a treasure, he immediately ran to his workbench and sat down, put on a pair of small glasses, and browsed seriously.

After a while, Lan Bafu also went downstairs, equally surprised that Su Xia was not upstairs today.

Su Xia threw a copy of the spare recipe for Dream Ecstasy to Lan Bafu and sent this guy away.

Time passed slowly, and the sky outside gradually brightened.

At half past seven in the morning, the street lights on both sides of the old street were extinguished one after another, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, including young people rushing to work, and children with backpacks to go to school, which became more popular.

"Master Su!" Boss Zhao of the restaurant across the street greeted him, and the steamer next to him was steaming, "The children are all washed and the meals are ready, you can come and eat together." ”

"Let the children eat first, I still have something to do!"

Su Xia looked up, smiled, looked out the window, and waved across the street.

He had brought more than a dozen children from the slums in the east of the city and took them as apprentices, making them the first students of the pharmacist school.

The school has not yet been built, and the children have been living on the second floor of the hotel opposite.

Recently, the children have eaten well, their nutritional intake is balanced, their bodies are not as thin as before, and they have a lot more smiles on their faces than before, and they are slowly coming out of the pain of losing their families.

After saying hello, Su Xia withdrew his gaze and continued to refine a new potion.

"Stinging ——!"

He tirelessly cut open the bellies of one pimple fish after another, removed fresh venom glands from their stomachs, and carried out extraction and separation operations.

The hands of the clock in the shop turn, ticking, and slowly taking time away.

About an hour later, Su Xia successfully refined ten potions.

"Enough should be enough!"

In fact, according to the requirements of the [Lost Man] mission, Su Xia only needed to refine two sticks, and injected one into each of the two little girls, Yimo and Shen Yu.

But Su Xia has always liked to be well prepared in case of accidents.

He took out a small potion box from under his workbench and placed ten potions into it, then put some other potions into it, and snapped the box shut.

"Two old brothers, I'm going out to treat two patients, you guys go to eat first, don't wait for me!" Su Xia carried a small potion box on her back, looking like an old Chinese medicine doctor.

"Okay, brother, don't worry, the store has us!"

The two didn't ask anything, they just asked Su Xia to go early and return early, and the journey was safe.

Su Xia walked to the counter, took a few identity cards of the pharmacy manager from under the counter, and then went out with the small pharmacy box on his back.

The sun is just right outside, and the morning sun is very bright.

He didn't shy away from anyone and walked straight to where the Zero Tavern was.

Along the way, many neighbors greeted him warmly.

"Master Su is early!"

"Morning!"

"Master Su has worked hard!"

"It's not hard, it should be!"

Su Xia smiled and responded in turn, and her gentle voice was like a spring breeze.

He walked calmly, looked relaxed, and behaved like before, and the neighbors on both sides of the old street did not notice anything unusual.

However, only Su Xia knew that the moment he went out, he was in a crisis.

It's a very special feeling.

If ordinary people have been watched from behind for a long time, they may feel it and subconsciously turn their heads to look.

And the perception of psionic creatures is stronger than that of ordinary people, especially a fifth-level creature like Su Xia, whose five senses are much stronger than ordinary people, and almost has the legendary sixth sense.

The moment he stepped out of the store, he felt chills down his spine and scalp, as if he had been targeted by some poisonous snake.

"Could it be the same group of people who wrote the death threat letter before?"

Su Xia looked as usual, did not look back, did not make any other movements, and still walked towards the location of the Zero Point Tavern.

He wondered, if it was the people, what was their purpose?

Is it purely to look at yourself unpleasantly?

Or is it because Daddy is kind to them and wants to clean up the division for Daddy?

Or is it something else?

……

Behind Su Xia, more than two hundred meters, where the old street meets a small alley.

Several men with gloomy expressions stared at Su Xia's back, they were leaning against the wall, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in their eyes.

"How dare he go out? Who gave him courage? ”

"Looks like our letters are useless!"

"It's okay, let's deal with him today, and then find a place to hide, and wait for the storm to pass before leaving the city, which can be regarded as repaying my father's life-saving grace."

During a brief exchange, several people directly sentenced Su Xia to death.

It seems that, in their eyes, killing Su Xia is no different from crushing a small bug.

"It is said that none of their undead can be killed."

One of them suddenly spoke, mentioning Su Xia's other identity.

The other sneered: "Hehe, I want to see if the undead really can't be killed!" ”

"Don't take it lightly, he used to hide in the pharmacy and didn't dare to come out, and when he suddenly went out today, he must have something to rely on, I doubt it...... Yu Tuo may be hiding in the dark......"

"Afraid of what?"

Among the several people, the one who looked the youngest raised the knife in his hand with a fierce expression.

"Although Yu Tuo is strong, our brothers are not vegetarians!"
