Chapter 9
Chapter 9–Young Master wants to concoct pills?Stop fooling around
“Dad, you looked worried, what’s happening?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“Come, we will talk inside.”
Jiang Zhen Hai said as he walked into Jiang Chen’s room.
Inside the room, father and son sat face to face with each other.
“Chen’er, you should know that even though our family owns a lot of businesses, in Fragrant Sky city what produces the most money is the pill concocting business.”
Jiang Zhen Hai said while looking at Jiang Chen.
“Oh talented and handsome young master, your looks are so gorgeous, you don’t appear to be mortal.You must be an angel from the heavens.”
The two guards who stood outside of the pill shop kept praising Jiang Chen while bowing and saluting.
In the past, they would greet the young master like this as well, except their eyes would have been filled with disgust.
But the young master was different now, he had transformed into a different person.He managed to argue and fight with the Mu Rong family, and had defeated Mu Rong Ying who was an 8th level Qi Jing warrior with a single slap.His performance had made everyone’s jaw drop to the ground.
‘So the young master has been hiding his true colors all this time, he is a genius!’
This was what all the guards and servants of the Jiang family now thought.
“En, not bad flattery…Go claim 10 silver coins from the treasury later, but remember, don’t flatter me anymore.”
With one hand behind his back and another hand holding the fan, Jiang Chen walked into the pill shop.
“All hail young master.”
Both guards shouted loudly while looking towards Jiang Chen with worshipful gazes.
‘What the…We can earn just from flattering.The young master is a good man!’
The pill shop was the most important property belonging to the Jiang Family, but there weren’t too many guards around.This was mainly because the person in charge of this pill shop was Zhou Bei Zhen, who was not only an alchemist, but also a mid-level Qi Hai practitioner.
Secondly, the pill shop wasn’t too far away from the Mayor’s mansion, so if anything happened then the Mayor’s mansion could immediately send help.
In the pill shop’s meeting room, were three old men sitting there looking depressed and clueless.
The three old men who appeared to be about fifty-something years old, were all wearing grey robes.One of them was fat and another one skinny.They were both at the Low Qi Hai level.The man in the middle, with an average body and a goatee, was the person in charge of this pill shop, Zhou Bei Zhen, a master in the Middle Qi Hai level and Jiang Zhen Hai’s best friend.One could tell his relationship with Jiang Zhen Hai was good because he was appointed to be in charge of the pill shop.
“Uncle Zhou, having a depressed look on your face doesn’t suit you.”
Jiang Chen walked into the meeting room.The trio stood up immediately upon seeing Jiang Chen come in.
“Young master, why are you here?”
Zhou Bei Zhen asked with a smile on his face.The alchemists never would have talked to Jiang Chen in the past, but after seeing what happened 3 days ago, they all changed their minds.
“Uncle Zhou, dad told me that the Mu Rong family has hired an alchemist who can concoct restoration pills with 70%effectiveness, forcing us to soon go out of business.”
Jiang Chen found a chair and sat down casually, smiling and looking towards the trio.
“Young master knows about this as well, we haven’t been able to sell any of our restoration pills in the last couple of days.Our ability is limited and we are unable to concoct restoration pills with 70%effectiveness.”
Zhou Bei Zhen replied with a bitter smile.
“Don’t give up Uncle Zhou, I will introduce you to an alchemist.He can definitely concoct restoration pills with more than 70%of effectiveness.”
Jiang Chen smiled.
“What?Young master knows someone like this?”
Zhou Bei Chen suddenly felt very happy.
“Where is this alchemist?If he is willing to help us, then we must not show any disrespect.”
The fat old man said seriously.
“This person is seemingly far away, but he is actually right before your eyes.”
Folding the fan in his hand, Jiang Chen stood up.
“What?Young master, you are not referring to yourself, are you?”
The fat old man felt amazed while staring at Jiang Chen, the other two had a similar reaction.
“That’s right, I am that alchemist.”
Jiang Chen nodded his head.
Haha……
Right after Jiang Chen replied, the trio laughed out loud.
This young lass must be making fun of them to cheer them up from their depressed state.The young master could only be considered an expert in consuming pills, since the Mayor had been feeding him numerous pills all these years.He was just one large pill!Although, he had changed dramatically compared to the last time they saw him…Him saying that he can concoct pills must be a joke.
“Young Master wants to concoct pills?Stop fooling around…you are good at consuming pills…But concocting pills?Forget it.”
Zhou Bei Zhen said with a look of disbelief.
“Uncle Zhou, don’t look down on me.There’s an old saying that‘one will become a doctor after being frequently sick.’For me it’s different, ‘one will only become a good alchemist upon consuming a lot of pills.’”
Jiang Chen said seriously.
The trio laughed out loud again.
“If consuming lots of pills could make someone an alchemist then everyone in the Saint Origin universe would be an alchemist.You better leave now, don’t disturb us from finding a solution.”
“Looks like you guys won’t believe me unless I show you my ability…Let’s go, bring me to the furnace.”
Rolling his sleeves up, Jiang Chen acted like he was going to do something big.
The trio looked at Jiang Chen, it didn’t seem like he was making fun of them…Did he really become an alchemist after consuming so many pills?
