“Poison!?”
Chen Mobai looked perplexed.
This is clearly a Gathering Yuan Pill, it is used for improving realm power, how could it possibly be poisonous?
“The toxin levels are grossly exceeding the standard, I will check which pharmacy it came from. As a good citizen, I should report this.” Qing Nu spoke, looking at the bottom of the pill bottle, it does have various information engraved.
[Disciple of the Outer Gate of Back to Sky Valley, Lu Yuxuan].
“Back to Sky Valley? Is that the Huitian Pharmacy from Kuangcang Dongtian?
But isn’t that meant for brewing spiritual water only?
A curious expression appeared on Qing Nu’s face. Chen Mobai wiped the sweat off his forehead, quickly shifting the topic to prevent her from probing further and finding out more problems.
“What does it mean by excessive levels of toxin? Could all these bottles of medicinal pills be sub-standard?”
“The Immortal Sect’s Drug Supervision Bureau stipulates that for all medicinal pills manufactured, the toxin level must be below 0.1%, which is below the detection capabilities of commonly used instruments. The standard medicinal pill, when taken by a cultivator, can be easily resolved by simply circulating one’s spiritual power. The toxicity level of your three bottles of medicinal pills is far beyond the standard, quickly nearing 5%- Although it has the effect of elevating your realm after taking it, you will at least be weakened for ten days to half a month.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt extremely thankful. He owed it to his careful nature, avoiding medicinal pills with unknown origins.
However, turning his thoughts, he felt sorry for the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm. Even such medicinal pills cost a spirit stone per bottle and they were still in high demand.
As expected, it’s much better back in the Di Yuan Star.
“The toxins in this particular pill are slightly less, only about 2%, probably because it’s merely for restoring spiritual power, so the medicinal properties
are lighter.”
Qing Nu opened another pill bottle Chen Mobai won from the disciple of the Flying Needle Sect, this bottle lacks any identification marking, it’s a product with no details. She took a small spoonful, placed it in her mouth, identifying the medicinal effect and toxin content with her own tongue.
“Aren’t you afraid of the toxins?”
Chen Mobai watched her actions, his eyes bulged wide.
“A little doesn’t matter, besides, we alchemists often also learn pharmacist skills, we will deal with toxins all our lives, we have specialized in the technique of detoxifying.”
Amongst the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal, one is a pharmacist, it’s a profession that identifies medical pill information, provides prescription according to each cultivator’s spiritual root and physical constitution, helping to breakthrough and improve realms.
Generally speaking, an outstanding alchemist is also a distinguished pharmacist.
Qing Nu appears to have accomplishments in this field too, after tasting it, she took a piece of paper and a pen hanging on the wall, she briskly wrote down several lines.
“Here, these are the effects I identified from the two types of medicines. It’s better for you not to consume them, it’s best to throw them away.
In Qing Nu’s eyes, these two types of medicine are sub-standard products from the pharmaceutical factory that should have been destroyed but were taken by dishonest merchants, dumped into the market.
“Alright, I’ll dispose them when I get back.”
Chen Mobai naturally nodded in agreement, then asked about the arrival of the raw material for the Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.
“Four kinds of auxiliary drugs are here, one of the three main drugs are here too, the remaining two can arrive tomorrow. Do you want to come in and watch the extraction process?”
Qing Nu invited, Chen Mobai has always been interested in alchemy, he nodded and followed her to the back of the pharmacy.
Unexpectedly, his heart stirred with a touch of nervousness.
They walked in, it was an open-air courtyard, eight large vats were laid out, half of them were covered.
“Here you go.”
Chen Mobai looked at the thing Qing Nu handed over – a mask, he nodded obediently and put it on.
“The Baizhu has already soaked, roughly after one night, all its medicinal properties will be dissolved. Before my teacher arrives tomorrow morning, I should pour the medicine liquid into the cold brewing machine to concentrate. Chen Mobai followed Qing Nu to a vat with its cover on, after she removed the wooden cover, the sealing spell instantly ceased, a strong medicinal aroma accompanied with a puff of smoke surged upwards.
However, the mask was indeed very magical, completely isolating that annoying medicinal smell outside his nostrils, hence he couldn’t smell anything.
“Is the water used for soaking it specially prepared, or is it regular Tianlu
Water?”
“It’s Tianlu Water.”
Qing Nu was a little surprised, Chen Mobai actually knew this specialized term. “My teacher mentioned it during class, saying the cost of this water is the lowest, and the effect of soaking and extracting medicine liquid is also quite good.”
Chen Mobai spoke, looked at the big vat full of soaked herbs, he nodded for Qing Nu to hurry and cover it back.
“Even though I can’t smell it, I still feel a bit uncomfortable inside…” Before he even finished speaking, the bell hanging on the courtyard eaves suddenly rang.
“A customer is here, I’ll go attend to them first.
After covering the lid, Qing Nu gestured for Chen Mobai to sit on the rattan chair in the courtyard for a while, then she quickly headed towards the front door shop.
Not even two minutes later, she came back.
“Oh, so soon?”
“It’s one of my teacher’s classmates, he happens to be on a trip from Huayang Dongtian to Red Sandstone City, just came to visit. But since my teacher is not around, I dare not rashly give him my teacher’s contact information, so I let him leave his name card, I’ll give it to my teacher tomorrow.”
Qing Nu spoke, took out a blue based, black letters, jade quality name card that appears to be a work of art.
Chen Mobai took a brief look, noticed the two lines written on it.
[Lan Haitian]
[Rank-2 Pharmacist]
For some reason, he thought of the youth who asked for directions last night. Could it be him?
“He matches your description, appears young but one could feel he’s a conservative person.”
Qing Nu nodded, confirming Chen Mobai’s guess.
Rank-2 pharmacist, there’s a high chance he’s a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Chen Mobai asked and then put it at the back of his mind.
“Then I’ll leave first, if there’s anything you need help with, feel free to tell me.” The two are already friends now, currently in the stage of cultivating trust, both wanted to show their best side. Qing Nu also lightly nodded, seeing Chen Mobai off.
After returning home, Chen Mobai ordered online, used nearly half of the remaining three thousand plus goodwill points on his card.
He is stocking up.
After these two days of on-site inspections of Southstream Market, he had an initial wealth plan.
Di Yuan Star had advanced technology whereas Tianhe Realm was rich in resources.
If he doesn’t become a profiteer, it would be a waste of such a unique difference between the two realms.
As to what to sell, he made a decision after some contemplation.
Medicinal pills in both realms would need a large pharmacy factory before cultivators dare to purchase. He knew the Di Yuan Star’s medicinal pills and spiritual water quality significantly exceeded those in the Tianhe Realm, but because they were too good, and the quality was too high, he did not dare to sell them.
Qing Nu didn’t know the origins of Back to Sky Valley, but he did. He saw from “Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness” that it is one of the seven major sects, and the best alchemical sect in the Eastern Wilderness. Even the medicinal pills produced by this Back to Sky Valley carries such a toxin level, the medicinal pills he sold were almost without poison. Once a cultivator takes it, they would realize immediately. If this caused a sensation, it would certainly attract oppression from Back to Sky Valley.
That did not align with his principle of keeping a low-profile in the Tianhe Realm..
