38: Please don't embarrass me further!
Old Mister Fang cupped his hands in return, chuckling, “Little friend, this is my phone number. Write it down. If you encounter any problems with medicinal ingredients, you can find me. I can’t compare to you in speed and thought, but when it comes to medicinal ingredients, this old man still knows a thing or two.”
The Alchemist Avatar quickly thanked him, “Thank you, Old Mister Fang.”
Old Mister Fang stroked his beard, chuckling, “I won’t disturb your Alchemy anymore. This old man still needs to hold down the fort at the shop. You go ahead and be busy, little friend.”
After speaking, Old Mister Fang didn’t wait for the Alchemist Avatar to be polite, turned gracefully, and ascended into the sky on a verdant green cloud, flying towards the Tong Ren Tang in the southeast.
The Alchemist Avatar looked enviously at his receding figure, “Flying through the sky and burrowing into the earth, truly an Immortal’s life.”
Wei Ge looked at him enviously, “Old Mister Fang’s contact information… not just anyone can get that. You’re about to take off.”
The Alchemist Avatar smiled, saying nothing more. While knowing such a big shot was a good thing, his own effort was more important.
“Alchemy, Alchemy.”
The Alchemist Avatar returned to the Pill Furnace, reigniting the fire for Alchemy, his gaze intently fixed on the furnace flames, seemingly unattached to the recent events.
Wei Ge watched this liver-king’s posture, clicking his tongue, “What a ruthless person… what a ruthless person…”
With this talent and perseverance, even without Old Mister Fang’s promotion, he would sooner or later become a major figure.
Even the Alchemists around, though they didn’t fully understand, quickly began taking notes, jotting down the parts they could comprehend.
The Alchemist Avatar’s movements paused, and after a moment of contemplation, he began to explain his thought process and techniques: “We’ll start with the most basic medicinal properties. The medicinal ingredients for refining a fire element pill must be primarily fire-based, so we need these ingredients to neutralize them. My technique is very fast, but the basic method still follows the system of medicinal primers, main ingredients, and auxiliary ingredients…”
Wei Ge’s eyes lit up when he saw this. He set up his stand, directly opened his live streaming account, and recorded the big shot’s explanation.
It must be said that in handling techniques, the Alchemist truly had abilities beyond Mortals.
Even learning one or two tenths would greatly benefit his Dao of Alchemy.
Amidst the gentle and refined explanations, everyone seemed to see a new Alchemist star rising, illuminating the eager light in the Alchemists’ eyes.
Tang Gao’s consciousness projection watched with deep emotion, feeling as if his Clone had grown a lot overnight.
Tang Gao withdrew his consciousness, realizing why he had such a powerful harvest.
“Amazing, amazing.”
He was too much of a workaholic, refining Medicinal Pills without a moment’s rest.
“However, at this rate, can I enter Qingkai through the special admissions route?”
This effect was even better; entering Qingkai was very stable, and perhaps the rewards would be more generous.
Tang Gao considered it for a moment, then dismissed it. Passing the college entrance examination was already a very stable matter now. He would choose a path he liked to develop then.
“Alright, alright, time for school!”
Tang Gao quickly got up to wash and prepare for breakfast. The house was empty as usual; his parents had already gotten up and gone to the shop to cook and cut meat, preparing for the day’s work.
Tang Gao slung on his backpack, picked up the money on the living room table, and quickly left home. After eating, he would wait for Liu Ren at the bus stop and then go to school with him.
With his recent significant improvements in cultivation and physical fitness, Tang Gao’s overall appearance and state were much better; he looked full of vigor.
“Brother Tang! Brother Tang! Come with me quickly! I’ll take you to a good place!”
Liu Ren hadn’t arrived yet, but his enthusiastic voice had already reached Tang Gao’s ears.
Tang Gao turned around and saw him activating his Wind Battle Qi, rushing over, his face beaming with a bright smile, overjoyed, looking eager to show off something good to him.
Tang Gao was full of questions, “Not going to school?”
Liu Ren quickly waved his hand, “Hurry, get in the car, we can still make it if we go now!”
Liu Ren directly hailed a taxi and took Tang Gao straight towards South Street. Sitting in the car, he gestured excitedly, overjoyed, “Brother Tang, let me tell you, you absolutely won’t believe what good thing I found!”
Tang Gao looked at the familiar direction, was silent for a moment, then asked back, “Is it that someone is distributing Medicinal Pills on the pedestrian street, and you can buy them at cost price?”
Liu Ren was dumbfounded, wide-eyed and speechless, with a shocked expression, “Brother Tang, have you been taken by Possession?! You’re actually starting to pay attention to local news! Aren’t you someone who doesn’t care about anything outside your own business?!”
Tang Gao had a lot to complain about, but he didn’t know where to start.
Can I say that for many of Liang City’s recent hot topics, not only am I aware, but I was also involved?
Liu Ren didn’t care whether Tang Gao was willing or not. He wrapped an arm around his shoulder, his eyes shining like a Dragon that had discovered a Treasure Trove, “What a good person! Early this morning, I heard that there’s a great person distributing Medicinal Pills at cost price over on the pedestrian street. Let me tell you, we absolutely must join in on this excitement!”
The driver in front listened, glanced in the rearview mirror, and asked curiously, “Kid, aren’t you worried about quality issues?”
Liu Ren thumped his chest loudly, “Impossible! Old Mister Fang personally went and approved them, and the official account of the Dan Yao Association even posted a video to corroborate this matter!”
The driver was surprised, looking at Liu Ren through the rearview mirror, “Really?! Then I’ll have to go take a look too.”
Soon, the taxi stopped about six hundred meters from the pedestrian street. Liu Ren, pulling Tang Gao, held up his student ID and shouted all the way, “I’m a student! I’m a student! Let me buy first! I’ll go to school after I buy!”
Tang Gao was so embarrassed he covered his face with his hand, his toes desperately curling inside his shoes, wishing he could learn an escape technique and leave right now.
Liu Ren held Tang Gao’s arm tightly, shouting all the way, and by relying on his student ID, he managed to squeeze into the top twenty positions.
He couldn’t squeeze any further forward because the people in front were also students.
Fortunately, the distribution speed was very fast, and it only took a few minutes to reach Tang Gao.
Liu Ren had already finished scanning the QR code a long time ago, his eyes shining, and he shouted loudly, “I want a fire element pill, a Qingxin Pill, and a Battle Qi Pill! Thank you, boss, for giving out Medicinal Pills! Sending blessings into every home, making thousands of families smile!
The boss is kind-hearted, handsome, and loved by all! Great compassion and love, respected by the common people! I wish the boss a splendid future and Immortal Ascension!
May the boss’s blessings be as vast as the East Sea, and his longevity as boundless as the Southern Mountains, may his life be beautiful and complete…”
Liu Ren was like a menu-reciting machine, a string of blessings pouring out as if they cost nothing, leaving the Alchemist Avatar and Wei Ge stunned.
Tang Gao gasped, his toes already digging for a villa, and he quickly wanted to retreat.
Asking for Medicinal Pills from his own Clone was already embarrassing enough; please don’t make me even more embarrassed!
Seeing him so shy, Liu Ren sighed, “Boss, my buddy here is shy, so I’ll thank you on his behalf, ahem.
I wish the boss good fortune, and wealth flowing in…”
The Alchemist Avatar chuckled, amused, and took out another bottle of Medicinal Pills to put in Liu Ren’s hand, “Thank you, hurry up and go, don’t delay the people behind you.”
Liu Ren bowed again in thanks, “Big brother is truly a great person! Good, good, thank you, big brother!”
After thanking him, he quickly pulled Tang Gao aside, scanned again, his fingers tapping rapidly, adding a string of thank-you notes, his mouth as sweet as honey, pouring out compliments as if they were free.
The passersby around them chuckled:
“This young man’s mouth is so sweet, he really knows how to talk.”
“This young man really knows how to act. Daughter, you should say a few more words too, maybe you can get an extra bottle.”
“Haha, you can tell this young man knows how to get things done!”
Tang Gao ran away, covering his face, not even wanting Liu Ren anymore.
Tang Gao considered himself not to be socially anxious, but in front of such a social terrorist, he suddenly felt like he wanted to dig a hole and disappear.
“Brother Tang! Tang Gao! Walk slower! Wait for me!”
Liu Ren quickly caught up, stuffing the bottles into his bag, and couldn’t help but mutter, “What are you afraid of, Brother Tang?
Experience this kind of thing a few more times, and you’ll get used to it.”
Tang Gao sighed to the sky, “It’s precisely people like you, who are social butterflies, that I’m afraid of.”
Bringing me to do something like this early in the morning, you’re truly strong.
