Chapter 215: Ancient Elixir - Nourishing Essence Pill
Central Territory, Alchemist Guild
Yang Chen, dressed in a plain black robe, casually walked through Alchemist Paradise in Pharmaceutical King City. Along the way, he noticed that sixth and seventh rank Alchemists were everywhere, coming and going in a steady stream.
After wandering around for a while, Yang Chen began to feel bored and directly entered the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild, where it was surprisingly quiet inside.
"Friend, without wearing the Alchemist Guild badge, you are not allowed to enter the headquarters," an Alchemist said without looking at Yang Chen's face.
"Heh heh, Elder Yaoxin, don't you remember me?" Yang Chen smiled; this person was an acquaintance, Elder Yaoxin from the Alchemist branch in Loulan City.
"Regardless of who you are, without wearing a badge... wait... you are Yang Chen?" Yao Xin looked up at Yang Chen and was suddenly surprised.
"Ha ha, last time I came, Elder Yaoxin wasn't here, so I didn't get to see you. Today I must have a good chat with Elder Yaoxin," Yang Chen smiled.
"Greetings..." Yao Xin was just about to bow when he was stopped by Yang Chen's Fighting Spirit, who transmitted his voice: "I am incognito; there is no need for formalities, Elder Yaoxin."
Yao Xin no longer insisted and smiled: "Young friend Yang, what brings you to my Alchemist Guild today?"
"I came to catch up with Elder Yao Changfeng," Yang Chen smiled.
"Alright, then I will take you there," Yao Xin quickly said.
"Please," Yang Chen replied.
"Please." Yao Xin led the way, preparing to take Yang Chen to find Medicine King Yao Changfeng.
"Yao Xin, you haven't forgotten the rule that one cannot enter the headquarters without wearing the Alchemist Guild badge, have you?" A cold voice came from behind.
Yao Xin turned around and said, "I thought it was someone important; turns out it's you, Yao Qing. What, am I not allowed to bring a distinguished guest into the headquarters?"
"Of course you can, but rules cannot be disregarded. You don't intend to provoke the headquarters' regulations, do you?" Yao Qing replied with a smile.
"Isn't that hat a bit too big for you? Yao Qing, how I conduct myself is none of your business," Yao Xin retorted coldly.
"What you choose to do is up to you. However, I cannot stand by and watch you provoke the headquarters' rules! As long as your friend behind you wears the badge properly, I won't say another word. This is for the sake of the headquarters' prestige," Yao Qing reasoned.
Yao Xin frowned and looked at Yang Chen, who slightly shook his head. She then handed over an Alchemist badge shaped like a leaf and said, "I remember, but the headquarters Elder has the authority to directly issue a first-level Alchemist badge without undergoing an assessment."
"That is indeed true. However, you Yao Xin casually leading a non-Alchemist Guild member directly into the headquarters—what does that mean? I will report this to the President and recommend that you be assigned to a remote area again," Yao Qing said coldly before quickly walking away.
"Hmph." Yao Xin snorted and then looked at Yang Chen, who appeared indifferent. She said, "Yang Xiaoyou, let's go in."
"Yes, please lead the way, Elder," Yang Chen smiled.
Before entering Yao Changfeng's Alchemist's Chamber, they were interrupted by Yao Qing's annoying voice: "President, this is how things transpired. Yao Xin ignored the headquarters' rules and should be assigned to a remote area."
"Yes, I will look into this further," a deep voice responded.
"Yao Xin, come in," Yao Changfeng called from behind the door of the Alchemist's Chamber.
"Yes, President," Yao Xin said respectfully.
"Haha, it's been months since we last met, and the demeanor of the Medicine King has grown even more imposing," Yang Chen exclaimed loudly.
"Bang!" The door to the Alchemist's Chamber was broken open, and the slightly plump figure of Yao Changfeng appeared before the two.
"I have seen the President," Yao Xin said respectfully.
"Step aside," Yao Xin waved his hand and said, "Yao Qing, you will be in charge of the Huangzhou Seven Emotions City branch. This will be for a term of fifty years."
"Huh? What!" Yao Qing exclaimed in surprise.
"Do I need to repeat myself?" Yao Changfeng said sternly.
"Yes, President." At that moment, Yao Qing realized he had kicked a hard rock.
"Yao Xin, you may leave. I have something to discuss with the Best Actor," Yao Changfeng waved his hand and said.
"Yes, President."
"Best Actor, I will take my leave now," Yao Xin said respectfully.
"Mm. Elder Yao Xin, a few days ago I obtained a type of elixir and would like to gift you a few as a token of gratitude for your past care," Yang Chen said as he flicked out several elixirs from the Demon God Ring.
"Nourishing Yuan Pill!!" Yao Changfeng exclaimed immediately.
"Is this really the lost Yangyuan Pill? Thank you, Best Actor." Yao Xin took the few Yangyuan Pills and happily stepped back.
"Yang, how many of those Yangyuan Pills do you have left?!" Yao Changfeng grabbed Yang Chen's right hand and pulled him into the Alchemist's Chamber, urgently asking.
"None," Yang Chen said helplessly.
"None? Do you expect me to believe you?" Yao Changfeng shouted angrily. "Tell me how many you have; I can trade with you."
"I'll trade for my Shennong Ding," Yang Chen inquired.
"One hundred thousand Yangyuan Pills!" Yao Changfeng offered.
"Huh?" Yang Chen exclaimed in surprise. Are the Yangyuan Pills really that valuable?
"Eighty thousand! No less!" Yao Changfeng thought Yang Chen was dissatisfied with his initial offer and quickly lowered the price.
"Do you think I would have that many Yangyuan Pills?" Yang Chen feigned a bitter smile.
"Yes, Ancient Grade Seven pills, how could you possibly have that many?" Yao Changfeng suddenly looked as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant.
"Old Feng, tell me about the Yangyuan Pill. I don't have many on hand, but I need to know its effects, right?" When alone with Yao Changfeng, Yang Chen never referred to himself as 'this humble one,' speaking as if they were peers and friends.
"Alright." Yao Changfeng shook off his earlier disappointment and said with longing, "In Ancient, Ancient Cultivators used these Grade Seven Yangyuan Pills as the main pill for restoring fighting energy. This Divine Elixir can restore fighting energy, nourish the body, and heal the soul. So even though it is a Grade Seven pill, it is not much inferior to Grade Eight pills."
"I see," Yang Chen nodded.
"Old Wind, are we brothers?" Yang Chen said.
"What's wrong? Just by looking at you, I can tell there's a scheme. Take it easy; I'm not easily scared," Yao Changfeng said, pretending to be frightened.
"Eighty thousand Nourishing Essence Pills in exchange for my Shennong Ding. Will you trade?" Yang Chen asked.
"No deal! I told you, without eighty thousand Nourishing Essence Pills, I won't... How much did you just say?" Yao Changfeng hurriedly corrected himself.
"Weren't you just saying no deal? Let's change the topic," Yang Chen said playfully.
"My goodness, do you really have eighty thousand pills?" Yao Changfeng asked nervously, worried that Yang Chen would say he didn't.
"I don't," Yang Chen replied calmly.
"I knew it," Yao Changfeng said dejectedly. "You just want to make your old brother happy."
"Old Wind, how could I lie to you? I really don't have eighty thousand Nourishing Essence Pills; I only have one hundred and twenty billion," Yang Chen said with a smile.
"What!!" Yao Changfeng immediately stood up and shouted.
"Calm down, calm down. Let's talk this over," Yang Chen said.
"You better explain yourself clearly; otherwise, I'm going to get angry!" Yao Changfeng said anxiously.
