Chen Mobai was puzzled.

In this world, were there people without surnames?

However, seeing that Qing Nv had already walked far away, he didn’t ask and followed her.

“This restaurant’s grilled fish is particularly delicious. I only treat myself to a meal here when I get paid each month.”

Chen Mobai followed Qing Nv to a small shop in the corner of the city. She was familiar with the place and quickly grabbed the menu, intending to order a spicy dish, but then she remembered that she was treating him today.

“You order.”

“I’ve never eaten here before, you order. Just make sure it’s not too spicy.”

Hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Qing Nv quickly changed her order to a salt and pepper flavored grilled fish. She also added lotus root slices, bean sprouts, and glass noodles as side dishes, and finally ordered two soft drinks.

“How is it? The taste is not bad, right?”

Qing Nv was enjoying her meal. Chen Mobai took a bite and found the side dishes indeed tasty, but the fish was just average.

After all, he had been eating Blue Blood Carp every day recently. The delicious taste of that fish was so irresistible that even the Golden Elixir Taoist masters in the Heavenly River Realm couldn’t resist it. The ordinary farmed fish here at the Immortal Gate couldn’t compare.

“It’s okay.”

Chen Mobai could only give a fair evaluation. Qing Nv gave him a glance, seemingly implying that he lacked emotional intelligence, but it didn’t stop her from enjoying her meal. She ate three-quarters of the large pot of fish.

“Do you like grilled fish a lot?”

Chen Mobai asked Qing Nv, who was drinking her soft drink to cleanse her palate.

“Yes, the first time I ate out, it was here. I felt that this was the most delicious food in the world.”

“Next time, I’ll catch a fish myself and use the ingredients from this restaurant. I guarantee it will taste better.”

In the Azure Cloud Lake where the Water Mansion was located, although he had eaten all the Blue Blood Carp, there were still some descendants of the Blue Blood Carp. The taste might not be as good as the original, but it was definitely better than the fish from this restaurant.

Hearing this, Qing Nv didn’t know how to respond and was stunned.

Because the boss was cleaning their table, the situation became very awkward.

Who would criticize the restaurant’s fish right in front of the owner!

Qing Nv confirmed that the young man in front of her had average emotional intelligence.

“The play is about to start, let’s go.”

Qing Nv, who originally wanted to sit for a while and discuss their future cooperation, had to find an excuse to pay the bill immediately and leave with Chen Mobai.

“Do you have a cheap source for the raw materials of the Spirit Water?”

The two had to find a quiet coffee shop to discuss their cooperation.

“No, all the medicinal materials in our shop are delivered by the Treasure Bottle Pharmacy. My teacher is responsible for writing the list, and I check and sign for it.”

Qing Nv shook her head.

“I looked at the prescription, and it mainly consists of three main medicines and four auxiliary medicines. The main medicines are easy to find in online pharmacies, but there are so many brands of auxiliary medicines, I don’t know which one is right?”

Chen Mobai took out his unopened bottle of Spirit Water and handed it to Qing Nv.

The three main medicines are Huang Jing, Bai Zhu, and Fang Feng.

Since it’s only for refining first-grade Spirit Water, ten years of medicinal power is enough. These are common medicinal materials that can be bought as long as you have Good Deeds.

The four auxiliary medicines are different: dextrin, mannitol, flavor corrector, and Spirit Sealing Agent.

These seem to be industrial raw materials, with all kinds of brands, and it’s hard to know which one is good.

“Dextrin from this brand, mannitol from this manufacturer is good, the flavor corrector from this factory is sweet, and if you’re going to use the Spirit Sealing Agent immediately after refining, you can buy the cheapest one from this brand…”

Qing Nv was indeed professional. She had Chen Mobai open the Immortal Gate website and pointed out which store he should buy from. She had obviously planned for this for a long time.

“I can understand from the name that the Spirit Sealing Agent is used to prevent the medicinal effect of the Spirit Water from dissipating after packaging. What are the other three auxiliary medicines for?”

“Dextrin is used to fuse the medicinal power of the three main medicines. Mannitol makes it easier for the body to absorb, and the flavor corrector is for flavoring. The original solution is very bitter, and it’s hard to take if you don’t add this.”

“So, can we not add the flavor corrector?”

Chen Mobai asked another question, which made Qing Nv choke.

“It’s not impossible, you can save 500 Good Deeds, but are you sure? You don’t like the taste of medicine, do you? I’ve tasted Spirit Water without the flavor corrector, it’s super bitter.”

Qing Nv was still persuading, and Chen Mobai hesitated. He really didn’t like the taste of medicine.

“Alright, for the first batch of Spirit Water, let’s go with the configuration you’re most familiar with. How do we solve the issue of tools and location?”

“Well, I can borrow my teacher’s medicine pool and cold extraction machine for now. If he finds out and disagrees, you’ll have to figure something out.”

The two discussed some details, and Qing Nv helped Chen Mobai choose some main medicine stores online. Some of the medicinal materials in her teacher’s pharmacy were purchased from these stores, so their quality was trustworthy.

Chen Mobai didn’t say much and directly placed the order according to her instructions. He filled in the address and recipient as Changqing Pharmacy and Qing Nv. Since she was the one who signed for the packages at the store, she wasn’t afraid of her teacher finding out.

After buying all three main medicines and four auxiliary medicines, more than half of the 10,000 Good Deeds that Chen Mobai had exchanged for Spirit Stones were gone.

“How many bottles do you think you can make with one batch?”

Chen Mobai took the unopened bottle of Spirit Water on the table and asked.

“Between 10 and 20 bottles.”

“Cough, cough…”

Chen Mobai, who was drinking coffee, almost choked.

“Doesn’t that mean we’re bound to lose money?”

“There’s definitely some investment in the early stage, but don’t worry, once I get the hang of it, you’ll make a lot.”

Qing Nv clenched her slender fingers, patted her chest, and looked confident.

Chen Mobai could only sigh.However, there was no other choice. The resources of the Immortal Gate were scarce. If one wanted to use Spirit Water or even higher-grade elixirs without limit, it was best to support an alchemist.

He could only hope that Qing Nv, the woman in front of him, was worth his investment.

“Let’s go, let’s go, we can enter the theater now.”

At this moment, Qing Nv checked the time and immediately urged Chen Mobai. She couldn’t wait to watch the “Moonwalk” performance by the Jade Phoenix troupe.

Inside the theater.

Chen Mobai sat in his seat with an embarrassed expression.

He had overlooked one thing.

“Brother, is this your wife?”

To his left was his cousin, Wang Xinying, who had taken one of his tickets and decided to come today to watch Jiang Yuyuan.

She widened her eyes, sizing up Qing Nv, who was sitting on the right side of Chen Mobai, with her stunningly beautiful face.

The latter’s pretty face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head, a little at a loss under the innocent questioning of the young girl.
