Half past six in the morning.

It was still early, but there was already a loud sound on the first floor of the pharmacy.

It is impossible for the two lazy people of Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu to get up so early, they were both drunk last night, and most of them had to wake up at ten o'clock in the morning.

"Click!"

Su Xia unscrewed the door, stepped on the stairs, and walked downstairs.

When he walked to the corner of the stairs, he saw Wu Hongyu, an old woman who was placing various glassware in front of the workbench.

"Auntie wakes up so early?" Su Xia smiled and greeted Wu Hongyu.

"You're earlier than me." Wu Hongyu said without saltiness.

"Auntie wants to refine potions?" Susha asked.

"I have some ideas, I'm going to try them first."

Wu Hongyu's expression was indifferent, and the word "try" also appeared in her mouth, most of which was some kind of innovation.

At her stage, potions are no longer limited to a single formula.

Many of the recipes that have been circulated are created by her.

"Auntie, I'm going to write books behind closed doors for the past two days, and I'm bothering Auntie to help take care of the store." Su Xia knew that the old woman didn't like to go around in circles, so she directly asked for help.

"Have you thought about it?" Wu Hongyu glanced at him, of course she knew what it meant to write a book behind closed doors.

"I've figured it out." Susha replied.

"Those people have nothing to do with you." Wu Hongyu said lightly, "Even if you succeed, you won't get any benefits, it will only expose the fact that you have returned here." ”

"There are some things that you have to do, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable." Su Xia said with a smile on her face.

"Well, go ahead."

"Thank you, Auntie."

"No thanks."

And just like that, the matter was negotiated.

In the two days that Su Xia left, Wu Hongyu helped him take care of the store.

This sixth-order pharmacist, wherever he is placed, is an existence like a Dinghai Divine Needle.

Just looking at a small pharmacy is really a bit overkill.

"Give me a copy of your pharmacist textbook when it's finished." Wu Hongyu suddenly spoke.

"No problem, the first one must be given to Auntie." Susha said.

Now, there are already two people who have booked Su Xia's textbook.

In addition to Wu Hongyu, the other is Yu Tuo.

Su Xia didn't know what Yu Tuo was doing with the pharmacist's textbook, and he felt that Yu Tuo seemed to be very interested in this aspect.

Then, Su Xia walked to the door of the store and flipped over the photo at the door, so that the words "open" were open to the public, indicating that the pharmacy had opened.

Across the street, Boss Zhao was busy working, and the large steamer next to him was piled up more than ten stories high, and the steamer was bubbling with hazy water vapor.

This is a very diligent middle-aged man, who only has the idea of making a lot of money to support his family, even if he is busy until more than three o'clock in the morning, he can still continue to make breakfast.

In comparison, Su Xia's two senior brothers were much lazy.

"Master Su, got up so early?" Boss Zhao greeted warmly.

"Well, Boss Zhao is also early." Su Xia responded with a smile.

Afterwards, Su Xia returned to his workbench and began refining other fifth-order potions to consolidate his abilities.

The success of refining the "Butterfly Love Flower" last night gave him a new understanding of the fifth-order elixir.

As time passed, the morning fog slowly lifted, and the street outside the shop gradually became more and more pedestrians, and the old street was slowly waking up in the sun.

Su Xia successfully refined several fifth-order elixirs.

For example, [Immortal Perseverance], [Broken Bone Rebirth], [White Horse Gap], etc., are all potions he used when he escaped for his life in Seahorse City before.

It's just that he used all the inventory left by his father at the time, and now he can refine it himself.

"These explosive agents are very important and can save lives at critical moments." Su Xia looked attentive, shook the potion in his hand, and the glass tube refracted a dazzling light in the morning light.

He gave preference to these kinds of potion refining, so he naturally had his own plans.

A potion like [White Horse Gap] can increase the speed by at least 25% after consumption, which is enough to reverse the situation you are in at certain crucial moments.

Susha didn't need a potion of mass destruction, as he was a superweapon himself.

He put away these potions with great care, and then continued to try other potions, preparing to refine all the fifth-order potion recipes left by his father.

On the workbench opposite him, the old woman Wu Hongyu was also refining potions, but she kept failing.

From time to time, dark purple smoke wafted out of her, and occasionally the container exploded.

At half past eight in the morning, there was a very serious explosion.

"Boom!"

There was a bang, and the glass slag was scattered like a hidden weapon, and the entire pharmacy was shocked.

Fortunately, the store has been reinforced, otherwise, it would be like the vibration of a grenade explosion, and it will most likely blow up the store structure.

Su Xia activated the psionic shield the moment it exploded, keeping out all the glass slag and the poisonous mist.

Wu Hongyu on the opposite side also opened his shield, with no expression on his face, as if he had expected this explosion.

In front of her, more than a dozen glassware on the workbench had shattered.

This scene reminded Su Xia of ...... At that time, when I met Wu Hongyu for the first time through the virtual system in Seahorse City, I saw the picture of her laboratory.

"Auntie, are you trying a seventh-order potion?" Susha asked.

"Hmm."

Wu Hongyu did not deny it, took a rag, and wiped the messy workbench with his hand.

Su Xia put down the elixir he was refining in his hand, and asked again, "Seventh-order elixir, does it exist on this planet?" ”

"What do you think?" Wu Hongyu glanced at him lightly and asked rhetorically.

"There may be a future." Su Xia gave a vague answer.

"There is no need for the future, someone can refine it now." Wu Hongyu said calmly.

"Now?"

Su Xia was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask something more.

But before he could ask, a very incredible idea suddenly flashed in his mind, so he directly changed the question: "Is it the teacher?" ”

"yes, old fellow."

"I've never seen the teacher refine a seventh-order potion, and there is no record of it in the manuscript of the information he left behind."

I have to say that Su Xia was a little surprised.

He had already overestimated Daddy's abilities, and he had always thought that Daddy was the best among the sixth-order pharmacists, the top of the class.

If it weren't for that, the Zero Tavern wouldn't have invited Daddy again and again.

But the words of the old woman Wu Hongyu once again raised the father to a higher level.

"That old guy is very cautious and has reservations about all three of you apprentices." Wu Hongyu said indifferently, "Maybe he just wanted you to go out of a different path from him, so he didn't teach you everything." ”

"Auntie, is there a recipe for the seventh-order potion of the teacher?" Su Xia was aroused by curiosity.

"I don't know, he only showed me that thing, and no one except me should know that he can refine a seventh-order potion."

"I see......"

Su Xia was thoughtful, and had some new speculations about the relationship between this old woman and her father.

No one else knows about it but her?

This relationship can be said to be quite intimate.

"The teacher has this kind of stuff at the bottom of the box, and most of them are more than one, so it should be easier to live outside." Su Xia had been worried about her father's comfort, and now that she got the news, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"Don't worry, that old guy is hiding deeply."

Wu Hongyu said lightly: "I suspect that the seventh-order elixir may not be the limit of his ability, and his understanding in this regard surpasses everyone on this planet. ”

"Everyone?" Su Xia was even more surprised.

"Maybe you'll be able to catch up with him, but it's only a matter of the future, and it's still far from it." Wu Hongyu was unceremonious, and his tone towards Su Xia was like treating a junior apprentice, and he didn't regard him as a fifth-order pharmacist at all.

"I see."

Su Xia took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

The existence of Daddy, like the hidden bosses in many games, is almost invincible in the current version.

It's just that Su Xia was lucky, and when he first came to this world, he entered his father's pharmacy and became his fourth apprentice.

And the people around the hidden boss will naturally not be a weakling.

Don't say anything else, let's just talk about Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu, although the two of them look weak, but in terms of combat ability, they are enough to become a small boss-like existence.

At the beginning of Luoxing Town, Hong Bafu had shown his fighting ability, he could burst out with a speed that was completely inconsistent with his fat body, and he acted like a dancing dancer when he moved quickly.

After chatting briefly with Wu Hongyu, Su Xia got up and began to clean up the garbage and debris from the explosion just now.

Just then, Imo yawned and walked up.

Her pretty face was full of laziness, her voice was a little glutinous, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "Master Su, what's wrong?" Did anyone get into a fight? ”

"It's okay, the potion exploded." Su Xia explained casually.

"Oh, I'll go back to sleep, call me if there's anything." Imo rubbed his eyes again, his hair was messy, and he was wearing a bear-patterned pajamas, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

After saying that, she closed her eyes and walked back, her two little hands shaking at will, as if she was sleepwalking.

Su Xia continued to clean, and after cleaning up the garbage, he continued to refine various fifth-order elixirs.

The morning passed slowly.

During this period, Su Xia went to the restaurant across the street and brought two breakfasts back, one for himself and the old woman Wu Hongyu.

The other four guys were still asleep, and Su Xia didn't bother to care.

At about eleven o'clock in the morning, Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu finally got up, but they both looked confused, as if the early morning wine had not passed, and they sat at the door in a daze when they went downstairs.

After more than ten minutes, Yimo and Shen Yu, the two little girls, woke up one after another, finished washing up in a fight, and then began to wander around the second and third underground floors curiously.

Half an hour flew by.

It's time for lunch.

Everyone was sitting together, and when they were about to start the meal, Su Xia gently knocked on the table and announced something to them.

"I chatted with Aunt Redfish this morning, and I have some new ideas to add to the textbook, and I plan to close the door for another two days, if it's okay for these two days, try not to disturb me." His voice was steady, and he finished speaking without hurry.

"Brother, you want to retreat again?" Hong Bafu was stunned, "There are six days left before the pharmacist exchange conference." ”

"Don't worry, this time it's two or three days at most." Susha said.

"Master Su, how do you eat during your retreat?" Yimo grinned and asked, "Do you want me to send you upstairs every day?" ”

"No, I've got enough dry food."

Su Xia looked at everyone with a solemn expression.

Again, he said that if there is nothing particularly important, don't knock on the door and disturb him.

There is an old woman Wu Hongyu in the shop, and everything can be discussed with her.

"Okay......

Everyone nodded one after another, indicating that they understood and would not bother Su Xia in the next few days.

Subsequently, Su Xia explained some trivial matters, such as the sales channel of the pharmacy, the purchase channel, and the teaching of more than ten children.

After explaining this, Su Xia was a little relieved.

As soon as lunch was over, he went back to his room on the second floor and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign at the door of the room.

Su Xia stood in the room, clicked on the system inventory, found the [Narcissist Doll] inside, and then clicked [Take].

In the next moment, there was a mechanical puppet in front of him that looked exactly like him.

"I'm not here for two days, it's all up to you!" Su Xia patted the puppet's shoulder, the puppet had pretended to be for more than half a month before, and it had not been revealed during this period, which was a relatively reliable machine.

After that, Su Xia began to tap the equipment items on his body.

"There are enough potions, there are nanobots for reconnaissance, physical attacks and mental attacks can be resisted, psionic positions can't trap me, and long-range weapons have god-killing sniper rifles......"

The only regret is that the Sword of Bones was shattered in Seahorse City.

Susha had never been able to find a melee weapon to take advantage of.

Of course, this fly in the ointment will not affect the action.

After being fully prepared, Su Xia summoned a bunch of nanobots to cover his entire body and achieve invisibility relative to the current environment.

Soon, only the puppet Su Xia was still visible in the room.

"Open the window."

Su Xia, who was in a state of invisibility, sent an order to the puppet Su Xia to open the window.

The window is a good viewing window, and if someone looks through a telescope from the top of a building in the distance, they can see the doll Susha's every move.

After that, Su Xia clicked on the map and determined the direction according to the location of Town Seven.

"Southwest, about three and a half hours."

He looked ahead, took a light breath, restored his condition to its peak, and then jumped out of the pharmacy.

Su Xia was very cautious, keeping a very slow speed and flying at low altitude in the city, slowly approaching the boundary of the city.

The mechanical family has a large number of induction machines at the boundaries of the city.

According to the previous method of returning to the city, Su Xia used his talent the moment he approached the border, directly entered the different space, and then galloped in the different space, quickly crossing the boundary of the city.

Although he has the confidence to pass through directly, it is undoubtedly safer to use his talent.

After leaving the city, Su Xia picked up his speed slightly, like an invisible wind, whistling through the vast suburbs.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Susha entered the wilderness of the southwest region.

"Whew-"

The wind in the wilderness was stronger, and the rough breath was blowing in the face.

I don't know how many people have died in this wilderness, maybe just find a piece of land and dig it up, and you can dig up a piece of rotten bones.

After flying in the wilderness for half an hour, Su Xia suddenly frowned and slowed down.

He'd slowed down a few times before, as he spotted a patrol of the Cybtons.

But this time it wasn't.

"There was a battle here."

Su Xia slowly descended in height, and soon landed in the undulating grass below.

The grass was about half a man tall and yellow, and there were more than a dozen corpses lying in it.

The blood had clotted, the smell of blood had been blown away by the wind, and only the mutilated corpses were left silently telling of what had happened here.
