Chapter 305: Fortune Telling As A Side Job? Face Slaps!
Translator: Udong Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong
Qian Jin watched Swit Lei’s performance with interest as he also glanced at the outside through the door. The timing of this person was so perfect that there must be someone behind him. How? Pam Honxuan? Without his permission, this elder won’t have the chance to open the door.
Scammer? Qian Jin laughed at this accusation. Actually, most people would think of him as a scammer! He was so young yet he was talking about Mystic Pharmaceuticals, a deep subject, with people holding much higher power. This man was probably to test him at the will of Pan Honxuan.
The fact that a Mystic Potion created by a youngster less than 20 years old wasn’t as convincing as if it was created by an old Mystic Pharmacist.
"You are less than 20 years old..." Swit Lei circled around Qian Jin and said, "Even if you started to learn about Mystic Pharmaceuticals when you were born, you would only have 20 years of knowledge. The subject of Mystic Pharmaceuticals is vast like the Ancient Desert Sea..."
Qian Jin looked at Swit Lei helplessly as he also glanced at the door. It looked like that the most powerful elder at Pam Family wanted to see if Swit Lei could force out the "real creator" of the potions.
"Your metaphor isn’t close enough." Qian Jin accepted Swit Lei’s doubtful look as he placed his hands behind his back. "The subject of Mystic Pharmaceuticals is vast like the stars in the sky."
Swit Lei who was unpleased with Qian Jin was stunned, he felt like he was hallucinating! Qian Jin who was less than 20 years old somehow looked like his mentor who taught him about the subject who had already pa.s.sed away.
"How?" Swit Lei shook his head as he tried to get rid of that strange feeling. He looked at Qian Jin again and said, "If you know that, then why did you try to lie..."
Qian Jin sighed as he saw Pam Honzi had no intent to stop this old Mystic Pharmacist. Although this leader had the Eye of Innumerable Detection, the confidence, and a broad scope, he had a natural doubt on everything even though he was believing him.
"Looks like I need to prove myself." Qian Jin looked at Pam Honzi and remembered that this leader wanted to meet the creator of the potions. Although those weren’t real potions and it didn’t even belong to Mystic Pharmaceuticals, he couldn’t tell the truth. The only way was to prove to everyone that he knew about Mystic Pharmaceuticals.
Different from Pharmaceuticals, a novice or even an apprentice can create the mystic potion that the master couldn’t. In the words of Eulalia, luck was most important in Mystic Pharmaceuticals. Every time the creator must have the mentality of a blind tiger wis.h.i.+ng to find a dead sheep.
Qian Jin knew what he had to do.
"Mr. Swit, I didn’t lie." Qian Jin circled around Swit Lei just like how Swit Lei circled around him. He sniffed the air and said, "Mr. Swit, you must have interacted with about 36 kinds of ingredients before you came here and three of them made up 70% of the potion. They were Blackberry Flames, Blackdragon Gra.s.s, and Vicious Cactus. In terms of other ingredients, the saliva of the Rapid Wind Demon Wolf made up the last portion, probably less than the weight of a half-inch hair."
Silence, the sound of a pin drop was able to be heard.
Pam Honzi looked at the reaction of Swit Lei and knew that Qian Jin was correct. Swit Lei looked like he was turned into a stone.
All correct! Before he was summoned here by Pam Honxuan, he was testing and trying to create a Mystic Potion and all the ingredients used were the ones Qian Jin named.
"You..." Like an infant, Swit Lei wasn’t able to speak. "You….. really understand?" He asked after a while.
"Not really." Qian Jin quickly shook his head. Who dared to understand Mystic Pharmaceuticals? If Eulalia knew about that, the person would be in trouble! The only person in the Endless World that could scare Eulalia was Blake.
"I only know a little." Qian Jin measured a third of the fingernail on his pinky finger and said, "About this much and I might have overstated it."
Swit Lei was stunned. "This is humble or..." He didn’t know.
"No." Swit Lei took a deep breath and said, "I still can’t believe you unless you come with me to my Mystic Pharmacy and create a Mystic Potion. I will believe them."
"No." Qian Jin shook his head decisively. He looked like he won’t go even if a knife was placed beside his neck.
Swit Lei laughed, "Looks like you knew about those ingredients by coincidence."
"Do I look like I want to die?" Qian Jin rolled his eyes and said, "You are lucky that you came here fast. Otherwise, I won’t ever see you again."
"What?"
Both Swit Lei and Pam Honzi were surprised.
Qian Jin shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are trying to create level 1 Spirit Burning Potion, right?"
Surprise and confusion appeared in Swit Lei’s eyes as he thought, "He knows about this potion?"
"Then you shouldn’t add Blackdragon Gra.s.s, but you added so much." Qian Jin looked up at the sky and said, "Guessing from the smell based on your clothes, now it is about time."
"About time for what?" Swit Lei frowned. "In three days, it will be produced..."
"Succeed?" Qian Jin laughed. "A minute at most, your pot of Mystic Potion will explode. If that room is not made of metal, it would be completely destroyed."
"Bulls.h.i.+t!" Swit Lei’s yellow face turned red from the stimulation. "I..."
BOOM!
A huge explosion sounded and cut Swit Lei off. The huge flames soared up at the sky, and the roof along with bricks was blown into the sky as well.
The sound of "Bulls.h.i.+t" was still resonating in the room as the huge explosion slapped Swit Lei in the face.
Swit Lei’s red face instantly paled. All the anger in his eyes turned into fear and surprise. This... this d.a.m.n prophecy was too accurate and real.
Pam Honzi also looked at Qian Jin in shock. Although he didn’t really understand Mystic Pharmaceuticals, to make such a call when only smelling the fragrance on Swit Lei’s clothes... this alone meant that Qian Jin was better than Swit Lei!
Qian Jin who was being stared by both people felt a little confident. In terms of actual potion making, he might not be as good as this elder. In fact, he might be far less experienced than this elder. But under the wings of Eulalia, his fundamentals in this subject were profound.
Eulalia had said that excluding all other factors, Qian Jin would be on the level of a Mystic Pharmacy Grandmaster, which was still pretty useless in Eulalia’s eyes.
Useless... Qian Jin remembered Eulalia’s quote. His small amount of pride completely went away after that.
"If even a Mystic Pharmacy Grandmaster is useless, then what am I?" Qian Jin shook his head and thought. "I’m like a garbage then... if I met those top Mystic Supreme Pharmacists..."
But…... Qian Jin scratched his head again and thought. "There must be Mystic Pharmacy Grandmasters and Mystic Supreme Pharmacists in Zence, right?"
"Leader..." Swit Lei’s spirit fell to an all-time low as he said. "This Mr. Qian Jin should be a very knowledgeable expert in the field."
Pam Honzi nodded. This Swit Lei was very haughty in the field of Mystic Pharmaceuticals. He didn’t even admit that the number one Mystic Pharmacist in the Pam Family, Saloo Bard, was better than him. But he did admit Qian Jin was better than him after such short encounter.
"Leader."
It was another loud and confident voice. Although it was from outside the room, Qian Jin knew it was another Mystic Pharmacist without looking back.
"Oh? Mr. Saloo Bard. You came?" Pam Honzi looked at Saloo Bard who was at least three times fatter than Swit Lei; this man intentionally dyed all of his hairs black. "You are here to prove that Qian Jin is a scammer?" He asked.
"That’s right." Saloo Bard who got Pam Honzi’s permission walked to the middle of the hall as he looked at Swit Lei in disdain. "You made that explosion, right? You are lucky that you got away... Otherwise, huh..."
Without looking at Saloo Bard, Qian Jin looked at Pam Honzi and said, "Leader, I’m sure that you have more than one group of people who could clean and rebuild pharmacies, right?"
Pam Honzi nodded and asked: "What do you mean?"
"Great." Qian Jin said with a pleased look as he nodded. "This Mr. Saloo Bard seems to like difficult challenges. Before he came here, he was trying to make the Youth Regeneration Potion, the potion where an elder could get rid of all white hair and wrinkles after drinking it."
