Mundane Saint

Chapter 66 – Want to break the deadlock, there is still a chance

The "Healing Spirit Water" from Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall is a second-grade spiritual medicine.

It was developed by Master Mu, who improved upon the "Revitalizing Qi Water" formula to enhance its healing effects, resulting in this spiritual medicine.

Originally, the healing medicine sold by Qingfeng Treasure Hall was priced at three spirit stones per bottle, and their Healing Spirit Water was the same price but more potent. Moreover, Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall's financial strength was slightly superior to Qingfeng Treasure Hall's, allowing Feng Wuxin to profit greatly from the Healing Spirit Water.

However, now, Qingfeng Treasure Hall's new type of healing spiritual liquid is sure to have a larger market than the Healing Spirit Water. Firstly, it's cheaper and available in larger quantities, allowing Qingfeng Treasure Hall to sell in bulk. Undoubtedly, Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall will suffer significant losses, losing its main source of profit and even facing the risk of closure.

Qingfeng Treasure Hall had been silent for ten days, waiting for the right moment to make a stunning impact.

"Master Mu, since you can identify the herbs used in this Blue Spirit Liquid, please think of a way to improve the healing medicines we currently sell at Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall, at least to reduce the costs."

Feng Wuxin said, which was why she had called Master Mu here.

Master Mu had been collaborating with Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall for over a year.

Whatever he wanted, Feng Wuxin tried her best to provide because the formula for the Healing Spirit Water was always in Master Mu's hands. Understandably, such a unique formula is a secret treasure of the alchemist and would never be easily shared.

Master Mu nodded, indicating his understanding, but Aunt Yuan caught a glimpse of hesitation on his face.

"...You can't do it, can you?"

Aunt Yuan spoke bluntly, leaving no room for evasion, directly hitting Master Mu's sore spot.

Master Mu's face flushed immediately, and he awkwardly smiled, "Aunt Yuan, you've misunderstood. I mean, this matter requires careful consideration."

Feng Wuxin seemed to have anticipated his attitude.

"Master Mu, if you can't do it, just say so. Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall won't make things difficult for you."

Feng Wuxin's words left Master Mu stunned.

"Alas... you're right, I really can't."

The moment he saw the Blue Spirit Liquid, he knew that no matter who the alchemist at Qingfeng Treasure Hall was, he was far inferior.

Using four of the lowest-grade herbs to refine a liquid with quality close to a third-grade spiritual liquid, extracting almost all the medicinal power from the herbs without leaving any waste...

What kind of prodigy, what kind of talented alchemist could achieve such a miracle?

How powerful must their mental strength be?

Master Mu knew his own mediocrity, having wasted decades, and was still only a second-grade alchemist. Breaking through to the third grade was not easy, and reaching the fourth grade, known as the "boundary chasm," was beyond his reach.

He was not young anymore and knew that some things couldn't be changed just by trying hard.

"Is that so..."

Feng Wuxin sighed, her grip on the jade bottle tightening.

If even Master Mu was at his wit's end, then Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall... might have no way to break the impasse.

She felt quite distressed, but if the situation was irreparable, it might be time to cut losses, such as quickly selling off all the Healing Spirit Water in stock, ending the collaboration with Master Mu, and shifting the business focus elsewhere.

Feng Wuxin frowned deeper, gazing out the window with distant eyes.

Unpleasant memories flashed through her mind, and she suddenly felt that her plan to rebuild her power and reclaim her family was somewhat far-fetched.

She couldn't even make Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall strong in Cloud Spirit City.

But just then, Little Yu suddenly spoke—

"Master Mu can't solve this dilemma, but... perhaps someone else can."

This sentence was like rain after a long drought, making Feng Wuxin's eyes light up.

"Who?"

Little Yu didn't answer but took out the jade bottle given to her by Gu Heng, containing a light blue spiritual liquid, diluted with a drop of concentrated liquid in a large basin of water.

To be honest, when Little Yu learned that Qingfeng Treasure Hall could produce a hundred bottles of Blue Spirit Liquid in one batch, she felt a bit hopeless.

Because Master Mu could only produce ten bottles of Healing Spirit Water at a time.

The sheer difference in quantity was staggering.

Not to mention the even more astonishing cost difference.

But that bit of despair turned into shock when she saw the large pot of concentrated liquid Gu Heng had refined.

As the saying goes, "there's always someone better," and Gu Heng was that someone.

She roughly estimated that with that large pot of concentrated liquid, diluted at this ratio, it would yield... four thousand bottles! And these would be four thousand bottles of healing medicine more potent than both Blue Spirit Liquid and Healing Spirit Water!

"I don't know much about alchemy, so I ask Master Mu to compare this bottle of liquid with the Blue Spirit Liquid."

Little Yu respectfully presented the jade bottle with both hands.

Master Mu took the jade bottle, but this time, he didn't even need to sniff it.

He looked up, his face serious, and said to Little Yu, "This Blue Spirit Liquid... is far inferior to this blue liquid!"

Feng Wuxin was equally astonished. She took the jade bottle and, after a moment, grabbed Little Yu's shoulders, her voice tinged with suppressed excitement, "Little Yu, where did you get this?"

"South of the city, Gu Family Medicine Hall."

"Gu Family Medicine Hall? What's going on?"

Feng Wuxin quickly asked.

She hadn't heard of any Gu Family Medicine Hall, and the south of Cloud Spirit City was mostly inhabited by mortals, with some small, mixed forces she hadn't paid much attention to.

But seeing Little Yu's demeanor, it was clear she had encountered many things tonight.

If she didn't find out everything, Feng Wuxin wouldn't be able to sleep.

"Miss, it's like this, Little Mu and I infiltrated Qingfeng Treasure Hall, but we were discovered, and Shang Xiong sent assassins to kill us..."

Little Yu recounted the events.

Feng Wuxin clenched her fingers and frowned as she listened.

But when she heard that the owner of Gu Family Medicine Hall, Young Master Gu, had saved them and demonstrated his alchemy skills, diluting the spiritual liquid with water, Feng Wuxin hadn't reacted much yet, but Master Mu's face changed first.

"Wait, are you saying that this bottle of liquid is actually just a small bottle taken from a large basin of water, diluted with a drop of concentrated liquid?"

Little Yu nodded.

Master Mu's eyes nearly popped out.

A drop of spiritual liquid diluted with water, resulting in water with quality close to a third-grade spiritual medicine!?

This sounded even more mysterious and unfathomable than the refining of Blue Spirit Liquid!

He doubted the authenticity of this matter, but Feng Wuxin had no doubts because Little Yu wouldn't deceive her.

And Feng Wuxin was more eager to know the background of the owner of Gu Family Medicine Hall.
