Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1066 1066: Gather Ingredients

"Are you a fortune teller to make such accurate guesses?!" The young man smiled and teased Zheng-Fu. Before he continued, "But well, I'm probably out of hope now. I have been requesting it for months, but no apothecary has concocted it for me. I guess I'll have to take the risk by taking multiple Excellent strength-enhancing pills instead. No matter how bad the results are, it's still better than nothing!" The young man looked more and more disappointed when talking about this.

"How much did you set the price for that medicine?" Zheng-Fu thought that the young man must have offered a very high price for one Marvelous Strength-enhancing Pill. So, he asked to see if it was worth exchanging with the young man. Because he had fifteen Marvelous Strength-enhancing Pills from concocting medicine in the testing room earlier.

"I offered fifty thousand mission scores in exchange for two Marvelous Strength-enhancing Pills. Besides, I'll give the recipient of this quest two herbs, which are Scarlet Vine and Earth Dragon Stem. Both of them are Soul Level herbs. Of course, the combined price of these two herbs is worth more than one hundred thousand mission scores. Altogether, it's a very worthwhile exchange. Maybe I'll even have a loss!"

The young man explained truthfully to Zheng-Fu. Everyone knew this. Because he had posted his mission on the board for many months.

"It's not a bad offer at all. So, shall we exchange?"

The young man's offer, Zheng-Fu thought, was extremely worthwhile. For him, the mission score was not important. What mattered were the two herbs the young man had mentioned. Those two herbs could be used instead in concocting Soul Level Qi energy-increasing pills. And if he could get them, he would only need to find three more herbs. Or it might be just two herbs. Because Earth Dragon Stem was equivalent to both Bone Powder Leaf and Sky Grant Stalk.

Hah!

"What do you say, Comrade? Are you saying you have the Marvelous Strength-enhancing Pills? You're not kidding me, aren't you?" The young man was stunned when he heard that. At that moment, he was so happy and excited to the point of not being able to do anything. Although he did not know if Zheng-Fu was tricking him or not. But he did not need to be afraid that Zheng-Fu would cheat him. If doing that, Zheng-Fu would be punished, and the rules of the Force were very severe.

"I'm definitely telling the truth! I'll also give you three pills, more than you need. Because I like people who are straightforward like you." Zheng-Fu admired the young man and thought that this young man was a good person. If they continue their relationship, in the future, he might be able to help Zheng-Fu.

Umm!

"Then let's go to the exchange room. There are too many people here." The young man did not hesitate and immediately led Zheng-Fu to the exchange room. Because there were too many people there. Not only was it loud, but people walked around without paying attention to who was doing what.

Good!

After the two of them agreed, the young man immediately took Zheng-Fu to a nearby exchange room. These rooms were for the members who came here to exchange items. Regardless of whether those persons were apothecaries, they could use these rooms. However, non-apothecaries must have paid a usage fee. While the apothecaries had the right to use the rooms for free.

Inside one of the exchange rooms...

Flap!

"These are the two herbs I was talking about. You can check it out!" As soon as he entered the trading room, as a show of sincerity, the young man immediately took out the two herbs and gave them to Zheng-Fu to examine.

Umm!

"It's really a Soul Level herb." Zheng-Fu nodded lightly in satisfaction when he saw Scarlet Vine and Earth Dragon Stem on the table between him and the young man. He then looked up at the young man, took out three pills, and said, "You could check my strength-enhancing pills and see if they're all right. If you agree, we can exchange!" Zheng-Fu did not want to take advantage of the other party. So, he had the young man examine his medicine as well.

Blop!

Oh!

Aaaaaah!

"This is it! This is what I want! Marvelous strength-enhancing pills!" The young man picked up the pills that Zheng-Fu had placed, sniffed them, and examined them. He found out that the crimson pills in his hand were the true strength-enhancing pill he had been looking for and waiting for so many months.

"Comrade, let's exchange!"

"All right! If you agree, then let's exchange!"

"Agree!"

When the young man was satisfied with Zheng-Fu's strength-enhancing pills, an exchange immediately took place. Both sides handed over previously agreed-upon items. When the exchange was finished, the young man thanked Zheng-Fu profusely before he left. Zheng-Fu walked out of the exchange room shortly after the young man left. And Zheng-Fu was exempt from the fee because he was already a One-star Apothecary.

"Right now, I have more than eighty thousand mission scores. So lucky to have met that man. Not only did I get a lot of scores, but I also got the ingredients to make the Qi energy-increasing pills. But why hasn't the number of people decreased? Sigh! I guess I'll have to exert some force!"

After Zheng-Fu came out of the exchange room, there were still as many people outside as before, and they also blocked the walkway to the Medicinal Herb Department as before. Therefore, Zheng-Fu had to use a little strength to push through to that department.

Sigh!

"Very difficult to get here!"

"Hello, Comrade! You look quite tired."

Ah!

After Zheng-Fu arrived in front of the Herbal Exchange Department, a cute young woman with long hair wearing a long red Chinese dress spoke with a bright smile. If judging from her face, her age was probably only in her mid-twenties. But what made Zheng-Fu slightly stunned was the badge on the chest of her dress. Because it showed that she was a Two-star apothecary.

"Hey, don't just stand there stunned! Do you need something?" The young woman saw Zheng-Fu standing there speechless, so she called him back to his senses and asked him what he was there for.

Err!

"I want 0.2 Liang of Heaven Sky Mushroom, 2 Liang of ground Authentic Qi Glass Leaf Plant, and 1 Cloud Green Leaf. How much do they cost?" Zheng-Fu hurriedly acted normally before saying what he wanted and asking their prices.

Hah!?

"Those are Soul Level herbs. What are you going to do with them?" The young woman was shocked to hear that Zheng-Fu had come asking for Soul Level herbs.

"Is it normal to ask about the customer's purpose?" Zheng-Fu could not answer the young woman's question that he would use it to concoct the Soul Level pill himself.

Huh!

"No! Normally, it isn't!" The young woman seemed a little dissatisfied that Zheng-Fu asked like that because it was clearly disrespectful and insulting. But even so, she had to carry out her duties.

"Then tell me how much the price is. I still have other errands to attend to." Zheng-Fu knew that the young woman was not happy with him saying that. But he could not do anything because it was necessary.

Tch!

"0.2 Liang of Heaven Sky Mushroom costs twenty thousand scores. 2 Liang Ground Authentic Qi Glass Leaf Plant costs twenty thousand scores. As for Cloud Green Leaf, ten thousand scores each. And that is a total of fifty thousand scores." The woman quickly calculated the price for Zheng-Fu. And that price was considered very high.

"Fifty thousand scores in total, right? I'd like to exchange them for one set!" Zheng-Fu had already thought that the price would be very high. Even so, he had to pay. But because he only had a mission score of eighty thousand, he could only exchange one set.

"All right! Then wait a moment." The young woman did not think Zheng-Fu would really exchange it. Actually, the price would be cheaper if Zheng-Fu took out the One-star apothecary badge and showed it to the young woman. However, the young woman was not satisfied with what Zheng-Fu had done before and did not think that Zheng-Fu was an apothecary. So, she did not ask him and went back inside to bring out the three herbs for Zheng-Fu.

A few moments later...

Thud!

"This is what you want. Take it and pay!" After the woman returned, she slammed down the wooden box and told Zheng-Fu to quickly pay the scores and leave.

"Erm… If I..."

"Don't you hurry and leave yet? Or do you not have enough scores and are just causing trouble here? If that's the case, I'll call Elder to deal with you!"

Sigh!

Flap!

"Women are really moody. Is she on her period or something?" Zheng-Fu thought about asking about the apothecary's discount rights. But when he saw the young woman's expression, he stopped asking and hurriedly exchanged the scores for the three herbs he ordered. Before he took the box and muttered softly.

What did you say!?

Nothing!

Whooooosh!!!

Zheng-Fu did not think the young woman had heard his muttering just now. And when she shouted a question, he immediately ran through the crowd without looking back.

"You crazy person! Don't let me see you again. I'll deal with you to the utmost!"

After leaving the Herbal Exchange Department, Zheng-Fu did not leave Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower immediately. But he went to the concocting rooms that were available for the apothecary to borrow because he would concoct the Soul Level Qi energy-increasing pills within that day.

"Younger Brother Zheng-Fu!"

But at that time, Fan-Chen, who had just returned from the mission hall and happened to see Zheng-Fu, shouted and ran towards him, saying, "You didn't go to the Herbal Exchange Department? Why are you here?" Because Fan-Chen thought he had spent quite a long time in the mission hall, he wondered why Zheng-Fu was still there.

"I just left the Herbal Exchange Department. By the way, have you accepted the mission yet?" Zheng-Fu smiled at Fan-Chen without explaining much. Before he changed to asking about the mission that Fan-Chen had accepted. Because Zheng-Fu also thought that he had been at the Herbal Exchange Department for quite some time, and Fan-Chen had returned at about the same time.

"I have accepted them. Three missions are requests to concoct High-level pills, and one mission is to concoct Excellent pills. I think I can do these four missions. However, I must thank you. Because of you, I was able to accept higher-level missions. If in the future you need me to help you, just tell me!" Fan-Chen immediately proudly replied. After Zheng-Fu helped him to be promoted to One-star Apothecary, he gained a lot of confidence. And he could also accept missions at higher levels.

"You don't have to thank me at all. By the way, where will you go next?"

"I'm thinking of borrowing the concocting room for the missions. And you, Younger Brother?"

"I think I'll go to the mission hall for a bit. Because I have used a lot of scores. So, I want to get some more scores to prepare in exchange for more herbs!" After Zheng-Fu reconsidered, he thought he should go and take on one mission first. This was to prevent anyone from suspecting him when he used the concocting room.

Umm!

"Then I'll go first. And if you don't understand anything, you can ask the Three-star Apothecary elder there. He'll tell you everything he can!" Fan-Chen nodded in understanding and gave some more advice before he excused himself to carry out the missions he had been given.

Thank you, Elder Brother Fan-Chen!
