Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1065 1065: I'm Just Guessing

After the elder left the testing room, Zheng-Fu turned towards Fan-Chen, who had been standing silently the whole time, saying nothing but staring at Zheng-Fu as if he was waiting for something.

"Elder Brother Fan-Chen, what did you see just now?" Zheng-Fu knew that Fan-Chen was intelligent and determined. He believed that Fan-Chen must have noticed something while he was concocting the strength-enhancing pills.

"I see that the concocting process you did is different. Moreover, the level of fire you use is constantly changing. You also added some ingredients that weren't listed. But I don't know what it is. Because I can't see well!" Fan-Chen explained everything he saw that Zheng-Fu did differently from the recipe. And in fact, he was very curious about the ingredients that Zheng-Fu secretly put into the cauldron.

"You're very good, Elder Brother Fan-Chen! And from what you saw, can you do it?" Zheng-Fu smiled at Fan-Chen in satisfaction. Because what Fan-Chen answered was completely correct. But what he wanted to know more was whether Fan-Chen could do it.

"Do it!? I... I... I can do it. I just need the secret ingredients you used. However, I can't confirm whether it will be successful. Because this is the first time I have seen this process." Fan-Chen hesitated for a bit before answering.

"There's no problem with that. You have three chances in total. Please try it. I'll give you advice!" Zheng-Fu nodded lightly before making way for Fan-Chen to replace his position to concoct the next set of strength-enhancing pills.

Huh!?

"What do you say? Are you going to let me try it now?" Fan-Chen was shocked to hear what Zheng-Fu said. He thought he had misheard, so he asked again.

"That's right, Elder Brother Fan-Chen! I'll have you concoct the other three sets. And you don't have to be afraid of making mistakes. After all, we do not have to purchase or compensate the Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower for these herbs. Therefore, it's a good opportunity for you to use it to practice concocting. And if you can succeed, you'll be promoted from Apprentice Apothecary to One-star Apothecary!"

Zheng-Fu helped Fan-Chen because these ingredients were available for free. If Fan-Chen did not take that opportunity to try practicing, he had to pay for the ingredients himself to practice, which was not worth it if he made mistakes.

Ah!

"Thank you so much, Younger Brother Zheng-Fu!" Fan-Chen seemed to shed a few tears. He was very grateful for what Zheng-Fu had done for him. Because these ingredients were quite expensive. If he had to buy it for practice and was not successful, he would suffer a great loss.

"No need to thank me. Consider it a repayment gift for bringing me here and giving me good advice, Elder Brother Fran-Chen!" Zheng-Fu raised his hand to reject Fan-Chen's thanks. Because he already wanted to repay Fan-Chen.

Umm!

Five hours passed…

Booooooom!!!

Succeed!

"I congratulate you, Elder Brother Fan-Chen! You're finally able to concoct advanced Excellent Pills," Zheng-Fu said with sincere joy.

"I must thank you, Younger Brother Zheng-Fu! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to do it with this amount of ingredients!" Fan-Chen was very grateful to Zheng-Fu for helping him succeed. Because if he were to practice concocting this medicine by himself, he would definitely lose even more ingredients than this.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"You can finally become a One-star Apothecary, Fan-Chen!"

Hah!?

Elder Yi-Fong-Qiao!

At the same time, the sound of applause and the elder's voice sounded after Fan-Chen finished speaking. The elder had actually been there some time. But he did not say anything, just stood and watched silently. And of course, Zheng-Fu knew that the elder was watching. But he said nothing because the concocting process had reached its final stage. So, he did not want to distract Fan-Chen. Another thing was to let the elder see that Fan-Chen could concoct Excellent Medicine. That would allow Fan-Chen to be promoted to One-star Apothecary.

"Here is your apothecary badge. Take it, Zheng-Fu!" The elder walked towards Zheng-Fu and Fan-Chen calmly before handing Zheng-Fu an apothecary badge. He glanced at the medicinal pills in Fan-Chen's hand to check the quality of them.

"Thank you, sir, Elder! I'll bring the medicine concoction recipe I concocted just now to you later, sir. But now, I'd like to know if I can use the right to buy herbs right away?" Zheng-Fu took the apothecary badge and repeated what he had offered before. He then asked about his ultimate goal in going there.

"Certain! You can buy herbs at a cheaper price than normal members. Just show your apothecary badge at the exchange department in Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower!" The elder returned to his composure because of Zheng-Fu's voice. He could only smile dryly, embarrassed that he kept staring at the medicine in Fan-Chen's hands.

"Then that's good! If so, Elder Brother Fan-Chen and I will excuse ourselves first, sir!" Zheng-Fu nodded lightly before excusing himself from the elder to go to the Herb Exchange Department. And of course, he would have to take Fan-Chen with him to prevent the elder from asking anything. Because Zheng-Fu wanted to tease the elder for fun. He would make the Elder's curiosity peak. Then he would let the elder know when the time was right.

Ah!

"I have to bid farewell, sir, Elder!" Fan-Chen did not know why Zheng-Fu was in such a hurry. But he did not intend to reject Zheng-Fu and excuse himself from the Elder as well.

Umm!

The elder had to shake his head. Because he knew why Zheng-Fu was in such a hurry and why he had to take Fan-Chen with him.

"This kid is not ordinary at all. Whether his ability or intelligence!" But even so, the elder was not angry at Zheng-Fu in the slightest. Instead, he admired and liked Zheng-Fu even more than before.

"Younger Brother Zheng-Fu, you're now a One-star Apothecary. With your abilities, you can choose to accept many missions. There are quite a lot of Force members who have asked us to concoct medicinal pills for them in exchange for mission scores!" As the two were walking towards the Medicinal Herb Exchange Department, Fan-Chen suddenly spoke up about the mission for the apothecary. And the expression on his face while he spoke was very happy. It was as if he were thinking of something very good.

"Right now, I don't want to accept any missions, Elder Brother Fan-Chen. If you want to accept the mission, you can go, because now you're a One-star Apothecary as well. Even though you haven't received your new identity verification badge yet. After all, they probably already have your promotion record!" Zheng-Fu shook his head and immediately rejected Fan-Chen's invitation. Because he wanted herbs for concocting energy-increasing pills at Soul Level or higher, he wanted to go to the Herb Exchange Department first.

Umm!

"If so, you can do what you want. As for me, I think I'll go look for missions that I can accept first. Because right now I don't have many mission scores left. They're not enough to exchange for any good herbs." Fan-Chen nodded lightly before asking to part with Zheng-Fu and go to the mission hall.

"Then we meet again!"

After Zheng-Fu separated from Fan-Chen, he immediately headed to the Herb Exchange Department. He had seen and memorized the Soul Level medicine concoction recipe in the testing room, so he knew what herbs to use to concoct the Soul Level Qi energy-increasing pills.

"The recipe says that a total of five herbs are required. Most of the ingredients used were Soul Level medicinal herbs, and the exchange price must have been very high. The score I have probably isn't enough to exchange for all of them. I probably need to get more mission scores!" Zheng-Fu walked while thinking.

The five herbs he needed were 0.2 Liang of Heaven Sky Mushroom, 2 Bone Powder Leaves, 2 Liang of grounded Authentic Qi Glass Leaf Plant, 1 Sky Grant Stalk, and 1 Cloud Green Leaf. The herbs mentioned there were all Soul Level herbs that were quite rare, so their prices were naturally high.

When Zheng-Fu was on the second floor of the Treasure Exchange Tower, he had already seen the price of the Marvelous Pill. And when he calculated it, the price of each type of herb used was probably around a hundred thousand score at least. But that was only Zheng-Fu's predicted price, so he went to the Herb Exchange Department to check their prices.

A few minutes later...

"Why are there so many people here?"

Upon arriving at the Herb Exchange Department, Zheng-Fu found that the place was full of people. It was even busier than at Treasure Exchange Tower. And from what Zheng-Fu saw, these people were not apothecaries at all. Only a few of them had an apothecary badge on their lapels. And these apothecaries were only at the One-star Level like Zheng-Fu.

"Comrade, you come here to ask the apothecary to concoct the medicinal pills for you as well?" As Zheng-Fu was looking for a way to walk to the Herb Exchange Department, a young man suddenly walked in behind him, and he asked with a friendly expression.

"Not at all! I came here to find herbs. But there are too many people, so I'm still standing here!" Zheng-Fu turned around and gave a friendly reply to the young man who asked him. When the other party approached in a friendly manner, he also responded in a friendly manner and did not act like a bully.

Huh!?

"Did you come to exchange scores for herbs or exchange herbs for scores?" The young man continued to ask Zheng-Fu with curiosity. Because very few people went there to exchange.

"I want to exchange some herbs. And you, you've come to ask those apothecaries to concoct medicinal medicine, right?" Zheng-Fu answered the young man without concealment. Because what he would do was not a big deal. Then he asked the young man back.

Sigh!

"I came here to ask Elder to concoct Marvelous Level strength-enhancing pills for me. But there isn't any strength-enhancing pill recipe of that level here. The highest level available is the Excellent Level. So, I thought of exchanging the herbs I had for scores instead!" The young man replied in desperation because he went there to ask the apothecary to concoct Marvelous Level strength-enhancing pills for him. However, the Marvelous Pill recipes were only available for Qi energy-increasing pills and Healing pills. Therefore, the young man had to be in despair.

"What are you going to do with strength-enhancing pills? Most people are looking for Qi energy-increasing pills. Or are you going to use them to cultivate physical skills?" Zheng-Fu studied the young man he was talking to for a moment before realizing that he was already at the highest Heavenly Deity Originate Stage. Soon, he would break through to the Genuine Deity Stage. But what was strange was that he was looking for strength-enhancing pills instead of Qi energy-increasing pills to help push his cultivation.

"How did you know that I would use strength-enhancing pills to train my physical skills?" The young man looked startled that Zheng-Fu had correctly guessed what he was going to find this kind of medicine for.

"I'm just guessing!" Zheng-Fu smiled dryly without explaining much. He could not say that he knew because the young man had muscles all over his body. It was very easy to guess what he was going to do with those pills.
