(4) Trouble?!(II)
That night, the Fang family got the news, and the name 'Chen Li' was naturally attached to the news.
The pharmacist apprentice who came to report the matter pulled Fang Xiao, the young lady of the Fang family, and gossiped in a low voice with a bit of playfulness and cunning: "There is really a problem with the potion made by Senior Sister, even Elder Liu has judged it." This time, the senior sister was planted, which made her arrogant on weekdays......"
Fang Xiao covered his mouth, his round eyes rolled slightly, and he couldn't hide a little schadenfreude.
"The one who made Senior Sister suffer was actually a person who had never heard of it at all......" Fang Xiao curiously pulled the apprentice who came to report the news, "It's a pity that I was locked up at home today to memorize the medicine formula, otherwise I would have been able to see Senior Sister suffer with my own eyes when I went to the big sale." β
"What a loss! Fortunately, the kid named Chen Li, otherwise he would have died, and the senior sister would have been expelled from the Pharmacist Guild. This time, it was Chen Li who saved the senior sister. The apothecary apprentice smacked his mouth.
Fang Xiao couldn't help but become more curious.
"But......" The pharmacist apprentice leaned closer to Fang Xiao's ears again, and then snickered at how the senior sister was sucked on the throat by Chen Liyi's staff, and her voice was still hoarse, and she said it vividly.
Fang Xiao felt that the scene must be very exciting, and at the same time pursed his lips gloatingly, his eyes were bright, and his expression was a little girlish, which was even more smart and cute.
....................................
Chen Li followed Elder Liu all the way to the Pharmacists' Guild behind the two alleys on the east side of the Big Sale.
The senior sister who was drawn a staff by Chen Li lowered her head all the way, didn't say a word, hung her head down, and from time to time she would drop two water beans, her fingers were twisted together, and her mood was very bad.
Chen Li sighed, in fact, this girl can't be blamed. There are countless variables in the production of potions, and she can only be blamed for her ignorance.
Elixir is the best medicine, but it can also be the most terrible poison.
This thing is inherently powerful, and if it is not done well, there are many impurities, and if it is done wrong, it may kill people. Taking potions is indeed a risky thing in itself.
But it is the only shortcut and method for many people at critical moments. The pharmacist should be responsible for the potion when he makes the potion, and this girl makes the potion, and it is indeed wrong to make a mistake, but the pharmacist's guild inspection is wrong, which is obviously more hateful than the girl who made the potion, and this mistake is also more terrible than the mistake of the girl making the wrong potion.
"Don't cry, it's not your fault. Chen Li turned his head and comforted.
The girl immediately turned her head and looked at Chen Li viciously, which was diametrically opposed to her weak appearance when she lowered her head and cried, and at this moment she looked at Chen Li's eyes, as if Chen Li had a grudge against killing her father.
Chen Li frowned, the girl gave Chen Li a fierce look, and turned her head to look at the other side.
He frowned, grandma's, if he didn't come forward, he really let the archer drink, and then the scene would probably not be just called to talk at this moment.
I was bored, Chen Li didn't say anything more, and followed Elder Liu into a room on the second floor.
All the people in the Apothecary Guild wearing red lotus robes on the road looked at the three of them curiously, but no one dared to speak, and after saluting respectfully towards Elder Liu, they lowered their heads and continued to work on themselves.
The room was like an office and potion room, with a simple wooden table and chairs on one side full of equipment and utensils for various potions.
Elder Liu walked over, sat on the wooden chair, and then said to Chen Li, "Sit on that small stool over there, there is nothing else in this room that can sit." β
The girl turned her head and glanced at Chen Li viciously, thinking silently in her heart: What qualifications do you have to sit in front of Elder Liu?!
But just when the girl thought that Chen Li was going to respectfully refuse to give a seat, Chen Li took the small stool over as a matter of course, sat down, and raised his lips lightly at the girl without a heart.
The girl lowered her head and cast a particularly vicious squint at Chen Li, but Chen Li didn't care at all.
"What's your name?"
"Chen Li. β
Chen Li...... Who did you learn potions from?" Elder Liu looked at him seriously.
"......" Chen Li thought for a while, "I don't know either, the old man doesn't want to tell me about him, he finds me and teaches me some knowledge, not necessarily when he appears, he will come as he says, and he will leave as soon as he says." "He made up a character.
Elder Liu frowned, "Can you describe what kind of person he is?"
Chen Li shook his head, "Since the master doesn't want to tell me about him, he definitely doesn't want me to tell others." He simply rejected Elder Liu.
The girl clenched her fists on the side - the Great Elder of the Apothecary Guild, whom we all respect, the most admired senior, why did you speak to him in such a rash tone, and why did you refuse his question?
The more the girl listened, the more angry and unwilling she felt, jealous, and angry.
Elder Liu pondered for a while, not dwelling too much on this topic, and then asked, "Did you find out that there was a problem with that potion yourself?"
Chen Li nodded, "It's rare to see the primary body strengthening potion, but the color under the sun is not right, and if you have more knowledge about the potion, you will know that although the formula of the primary explosive potional has been lost, its other depictions have been handed down." It's not hard to tell. What's more, everyone knows that the primary explosive potion was eventually lost because the previous formula and production method had been confused with the primary strengthening potion. It is not difficult to understand that the primary explosive potion was made due to an unknown mistake in the production process of the primary body strengthening potion. Chen Li said it as a matter of course.
Every time he said one more word, the face of the girl Zhou Yaoyao on the side turned gray. Those 'not difficult to distinguish', 'everyone knows', and 'not difficult to understand' are completely ignorant to her.
This really embarrassed her even more.
Elder Liu also pursed his mouth and did not speak. Zhou Yaoyao would also feel that those things that were extremely simple in Chen Li's mouth were completely unknown to her, and she was embarrassed and sad because of this. But Elder Liu didn't.
He is already relatively old in the pharmacy industry, and he has naturally read a lot of information, but even so, his understanding of primary explosives cannot be as sure and leisurely as Chen Li.
He deeply knows that those knowledge, to understand it in this way, is not as simple and easy as Chen Li said.
I'm afraid that the old man in Chen Li's mouth is really a very knowledgeable ranger.
"This matter is because the Pharmacists Guild did not check the potions, and it almost made a big mistake. Although Elder Liu's face was ugly, he still admitted his mistake, "Fortunately, thanks to your help, I came forward in time to prevent the potion from being sold as a strengthening potion." Saying that, Elder Liu thought for a while, and suddenly looked at Chen Li with a straight face, with the humility and sincerity that was almost impossible for his identity, and said seriously: "Are you willing to join the Pharmacist Guild?" If you are willing to join, I will arrange the most haode mentor to teach you how to configure potions. The Apothecary's Guild provides each apprentice with herbs and recipes, and ......"
Chen Li and Zhou Yaoyao were stunned, neither of them expected that Elder Liu would actually invite him to join the Pharmacists Guild.
Chen Li pursed his mouth, in his previous life, he once regarded joining the Pharmacists Guild as the biggest goal in his life, in order to configure potions, in order to buy the formulas dictated by others, he desperately went on adventures, wandering between life and death again and again, exposing himself to danger for a long time.
When I got the herbs, I repeatedly arranged shiyan and tried to apply for admission to the Pharmacists' Guild.
But even so, he didn't make it to the Apothecary Guild in the end.
The potion preparation methods that I learned later were all gradually learned during the adventure, as I became stronger and stronger.
He suddenly felt a little dazed, remembering his own efforts and sad past in his previous lifeβhe couldn't help but doubt. Is it really that easy?
Elder Liu actually invited him to join the Pharmacists Guild?
He couldn't control the smile on his face, as if the obsession that he had not been able to achieve before, at this moment, suddenly fell like a pie in the sky, and smashed on top of his head.
He felt sweat oozing from his palms.
Zhou Yaoyao's palms were also oozing sweat, she looked at Chen Li in amazement, and stared at the young man in front of her in disbelief. Just because he didn't know how to know that the potion he had prepared was problematic, just because he made up some terrible old-timer, just because he was standing here talking nonsense...... Elder Liu asked him to join the Pharmacists Guild?
It wasn't Chen Li who asked to enter, but Elder Liu invited him?
Why?
Zhou Yaoyao had tears in her eyes, and she only felt more aggrieved than if she had configured the wrong potion.
She herself began to memorize herbs from memory, and was later regarded as a genius, and even so, she went through a rigorous assessment before entering the Pharmacist's Guild to study.
Why did Chen Li ......
She clenched her fists tightly, and her heart was sour and bitter with hatred.
The other two people present did not notice the change in Zhou Yaoyao's expression.
Elder Liu looked at the smile on Chen Li's face, and his heart was relieved, it seemed that this kid was probably going crazy with joy. After a while, I will happily agree.
In the future, the person who taught Chen Li the knowledge of medicine, if he really cares about Chen Li, maybe he will also be qualified to meet the other party.
At Chen Li's age, even if the old man taught Chen Li a lot of knowledge, it would be absolutely impossible to seriously and systematically educate Chen Li on how to prepare potions. Therefore, Chen Li still needs the Pharmacists Guild very much.
On the other hand, the Pharmacists Guild cultivated Chen Li well, and if he could meet the senior in Chen Li's mouth in the future, it would be of infinite use to him and to the Pharmacists Guild.
Elder Liu and Zhou Yaoyao had their own thoughts, and their emotions were fluctuating fiercely.
In just a moment, the atmosphere in the whole room became a little tense.
When Chen Li spoke, he easily broke the somewhat frozen atmosphere.
It's just that his words made Elder Liu and Zhou Yaoyao open their mouths wide, and they showed a surprised appearance without any image.
I only heard Chen Li raise his head and look at Elder Liu fixedly, although his expression was happy and serious, the words he said were so incredible:
"I'm sorry for the kindness of Elder Xiexie Liu, I can't join the Apothecary Guild. β
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Yaoyao couldn't hold back any longer, and asked loudly in anger. Chen Li's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, it was simply abnormal.
In this world, how could anyone resist the Pharmacists' Guild? Is he crazy?
Is it brain-dead?
Is this opportunity a daily occurrence?
How can you be so ignorant of blessings! At this time, you should kneel down and thank you!
Zhou Yaoyao's eyes widened, her pupils were clearly lit up with tears, and her eyes flashed with anger.
