“Poisonous!?”

Chen Mobai’s face was filled with astonishment.

This was clearly a Gathering Yuan Pill, used for enhancing one’s cultivation level, how could it possibly be poisonous?

“The poison content is far beyond the standard. Let me see which pharmacy produced it. I’ll play the good citizen and report it.”

Qing Nv said, looking at the bottom of the pill bottle, indeed, various information was engraved on it.

【Outer Sect Disciple of Huitian Valley, Lu Yuxuan】.

“Huitian Valley? Is it the Huitian Pharmacy from Kuo Cang cave? But isn’t that place specialized in refining Spirit Water?”

Qing Nv’s face was filled with confusion. Chen Mobai wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly changed the subject to avoid her discovering any problems.

“What do you mean by the poison content exceeding the standard? Does it mean that these bottles of pills are all defective?”

“The Immortal Gate Drug Administration has regulations that all manufactured pills must have a poison content of less than 0.1%, which means it can’t be detected by common equipment. Cultivators can easily neutralize this standard level of poison by circulating their spiritual power. However, the poison content in these three bottles of pills you have is far beyond the standard, almost reaching 5%. Although consuming them can enhance your cultivation level, you would at least be weak for half a month.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt extremely fortunate. It was a good thing he was cautious and didn’t consume pills of unknown origin.

However, thinking about it, he felt sorry for the cultivators in the Tianhe Realm. Even such pills cost one spirit stone per bottle and were still in high demand.

Indeed, it was better here in the Di Yuan Star.

“This bottle has slightly less poison, only about 2%. It’s probably used for restoring spiritual power, so the medicinal properties are milder.”

Qing Nv opened another bottle of pills that Chen Mobai got from a disciple of the Flying Probe Sect. This bottle had no markings, it was a product without any information. She took a little with a small spoon and put it in her mouth, using her tongue to discern the medicinal effects and poison content.

“Aren’t you afraid of the poison?”

Chen Mobai widened his eyes at her action.

“A little bit won’t hurt. Besides, we alchemists are basically also pharmacists. We have to deal with poison all our lives and have specialized techniques to neutralize it.”

Among the many arts of cultivation, one is being a pharmacist, which is a profession that specializes in identifying pill information, providing prescription according to the cultivator’s spiritual root and constitution, and helping to break through and enhance cultivation levels.

Generally speaking, outstanding alchemists are also excellent pharmacists.

Qing Nv seemed to be quite accomplished in this aspect. After tasting, she took out the paper and pen hanging on the wall and quickly wrote several lines.

“Here, this is the efficacy of the two types of pills I identified. It’s best not to take them, better to throw them away.”

In Qing Nv’s eyes, these two types of pills were defective products from the pharmaceutical factory. They should have been destroyed, but were taken out by unscrupulous merchants and dumped on the market.

“Alright, I’ll dispose of them when I get back.”

Chen Mobai naturally nodded in agreement, then asked if the raw materials for the Qi-restoring Spirit Water had arrived.

“Four auxiliary herbs have arrived, one of the three main herbs has arrived, and the other two will arrive tomorrow. Do you want to come in and see the extraction process?”

Qing Nv invited. Chen Mobai had always been interested in alchemy, so he nodded and followed her to the back of the pharmacy.

Unexpectedly, he felt a little nervous.

When they got inside, it was an open-air courtyard with eight large vats, half of which were covered.

“Here.”

Qing Nv handed over a package. Chen Mobai saw it was a mask, nodded and obediently put it on.

“The Bai Zhu has been soaking. It should take about a night for all the medicinal properties to be soaked out. I also need to pour the medicinal liquid into the cold extraction machine for concentration before my teacher comes tomorrow morning.”

Chen Mobai followed Qing Nv to a vat that was sealed. She opened the wooden lid, and the sealing spell instantly failed. A strong medicinal smell accompanied by a puff of smoke gushed out.

However, the mask was indeed very magical, completely isolating the annoying medicinal smell outside his nostrils, so he couldn’t smell it at all.

“Is the water used for soaking specially made, or is it just ordinary Tianliu water?”

“It’s Tianliu water.”

Qing Nv was a bit surprised that Chen Mobai actually knew this professional term.

“My teacher mentioned it in class, saying that this kind of water has the lowest cost and the effect of soaking and extracting medicinal liquid is also good.”

Chen Mobai said, looking at the large vat of soaked herbs, he nodded to Qing Nv to quickly cover it.

“Although I can’t smell it, I still feel a bit uncomfortable…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a bell hanging under the eaves of the courtyard suddenly rang.

“There’s a customer, I’ll go greet them first.”

After Qing Nv covered the vat, she signaled Chen Mobai to sit on the vine chair in the courtyard for a while, then hurriedly headed towards the front shop.

In less than two minutes, she came back.

“Oh, that was quick?””He’s a classmate of my teacher, who happened to be on a business trip from Huayang Dongtian to Danxia City, so he came to visit. But since the teacher is not here, I didn’t dare to give him the teacher’s contact information rashly, so I let him leave a business card, which I will give to the teacher tomorrow.”

As Qing Nv spoke, she took out a jade business card with a blue background and black characters, which looked like a piece of art.

Chen Mobai glanced at it and saw the two lines of text on it.

[Lan Haitian]

[Second Order Alchemist]

For some reason, he thought of the young man who asked for directions last night. Could it be him?

“He’s pretty much as you described, he looks young, but you can tell he’s a traditional person.”

Qing Nv nodded, confirming Chen Mobai’s guess.

A second-order alchemist is likely to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Chen Mobai asked a few questions and then put it out of his mind.

“I’ll go first then, if there’s anything you need help with, just let me know.”

The two had already become friends and were currently in the stage of building trust, both wanting to show their best side. Qing Nv also nodded lightly and saw Chen Mobai out.

After returning home, Chen Mobai placed an order online, using nearly half of the over three thousand Good Deeds left in his card.

He was stocking up.

After two days of on-site investigation of Nanxi Market, he already had a preliminary plan to make money.

The technology here in Di Yuan Star is advanced, while Tianhe Realm has abundant resources.

If he didn’t act as a middleman, it would simply be a waste of this unique difference between the two realms.

As for what to sell, he made a decision after much consideration.

Both realms need large pharmacies to produce elixirs, and only then would cultivators dare to buy them. Although he knew that the quality of the Spirit Water in the elixirs from Di Yuan Star far exceeded that of Tianhe Realm, because it was too superior and the quality was too good, he dared not sell it.

Qing Nv didn’t know the origin of Huitian Valley, but he had seen it in the “Introduction to the Great Sects of the East Wilderness”. It was one of the seven major sects and the number one sect in the East Wilderness for refining elixirs.

Even the elixirs produced by Huitian Valley had such elixir toxicity, the elixirs he sold were almost toxin-free. As soon as a cultivator took them, they would be able to feel it. If it caused a sensation, it would definitely attract the suppression of Huitian Valley.

This did not conform to his principle of low-key development in the Tianhe Realm.
