The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: The Dragon Has a Reverse Scale Chapter 215: Chapter 215: The Dragon Has a Reverse Scale After the Pharmacist Apprentices, almost all the Basic-level Alchemists also expressed their desire to join the Splendid Pill Tower.

“Young Master Jing Yan, your achievements in medicine are truly astonishing.

You mentioned earlier that when you have time, you would also guide us Alchemists in concocting medicine.

However, it seems that for the most part, Pharmacist Jing Qingyan would be instructing us.

But the thing is, Pharmacist Jing Qingyan can currently only concoct Intermediate Healing Potions…”

Of the Alchemists that came to apply today, there were a total of five Intermediate Alchemists and two Advanced Alchemists.

Among the Advanced Alchemists, besides Liu Bo, was the person who was now speaking.

As soon as he said this, Jing Yan understood his implication.

Jing Qingyan was, at this moment, barely considered an Intermediate Alchemist, whereas he himself was an Advanced Alchemist.

How could Jing Qingyan guide him in concocting medicines?

Jing Yan smiled.

“The concerns of this Alchemist are of course something I have considered.

The Alchemists recruited by my Splendid Pill Tower will not consist of just one Advanced Alchemist.

What I want to say is, Jing Qingyan will, within half a year, be promoted to a Top Alchemist,” Jing Yan said confidently.

Indeed, he had that level of confidence in Jing Qingyan.

Jing Qingyan’s talent for medicine was quite commendable, his foundation solid, and his dedication to the craft unparalleled.

With Jing Yan’s guidance, it would be more than possible for Jing Qingyan to be promoted to a Top Alchemist within half a year.

“Ah?” Jing Qingyan was startled upon hearing Jing Yan’s words.

Although he was now quite confident, the idea of becoming a Top Alchemist within half a year was still beyond his wildest dreams.

His mind was shaken, but obviously, Jing Qingyan would not doubt or challenge Jing Yan’s words on such an occasion.

Besides, with Jing Yan around, it seemed as if any miracle could happen.

Before returning to Donglin City, who would have thought he could successfully concoct an Intermediate Healing Potion in just a few days’ time?

And that such high-quality medicine would be the result.

“Young Master Jing Yan is no ordinary person; he certainly doesn’t make idle promises.

I, Fang Shan, believe in Young Master Jing Yan and am willing to join the Splendid Pill Tower, willing to serve Young Master Jing Yan,” said the Advanced Alchemist named Fang Shan, his voice solemn.

“Good!

The Splendid Pill Tower welcomes Alchemist Fang Shan to join,” Jing Yan also said excitedly.

“Jing Yan, I wish to join the Splendid Pill Tower too!”

At that moment, Liu Bo spoke up again.

Liu Bo, having witnessed Jing Yan concoct a plethora of medicines, was naturally shocked and tempted.

Even as an Alchemist who had lost his ambition, the sight of those medicines could reignite the desire to be promoted to a Top Alchemist.

Initially, he had no intention of joining the Splendid Pill Tower, but now he had changed his mind.

If he could join the Splendid Pill Tower, then there was no need to return to the Zhao Family’s Potion Workshop.

Jing Yan, narrowing his eyes, examined Liu Bo.

“However, if I join the Splendid Pill Tower, I have my conditions.

Jing Yan, I will not sign that indenture with you.

Moreover, you must personally tell me how to improve the quality of the medicines I concoct.

And the compensation must satisfy me.

In the Zhao Family’s Potion Workshop, my pay was very high,” Liu Bo said, still quite arrogant.

He was used to it.

Even within the Zhao Family’s Potion Workshop, his status was quite high as he was, after all, an Advanced Alchemist.

Many would flatter him.

His joining the Splendid Pill Tower was obviously a glory for the tower.

The Splendid Pill Tower should feel honored to have him.

In his view, Jing Yan should be celebrating his willingness to join.

“I’m sorry, the Splendid Pill Tower has no suitable position for you,” Jing Yan said with a cold laugh.

How could Jing Yan possibly allow someone like Liu Bo to join the Splendid Pill Tower?

And this bastard had the audacity to ask for exceptions to be made for him.

Who did he think he was?

“What?”

“Jing Yan, I am an Advanced Alchemist!” Liu Bo’s face changed; he truly had not expected that Jing Yan would refuse to let him join the Splendid Pill Tower.

As an Advanced Alchemist, he should be welcomed everywhere.

And Jing Yan didn’t want him?

Wouldn’t let him join the Splendid Pill Tower?

Was there something wrong with Jing Yan’s brain?

“I don’t care what level of Alchemist you are, the Splendid Pill Tower doesn’t need someone like you.” By this point, Jing Yan naturally wasn’t holding back either.

Everyone saw clearly Liu Bo’s attitude; the man was far too arrogant.

Who was Jing Yan?

With such high achievements in Martial Arts, and at a young age already among the Innate Strong People.

In the field of medicine, he could concoct so many types of Medicine, with the quality also being so astonishing.

Liu Bo, what made you think you could be arrogant in front of Jing Yan?

“Jing Yan, you will regret this!” Liu Bo’s face turned grim.

Jing Yan’s words made him feel as if he had suffered an extreme insult, an insult like he had never before experienced.

“Get lost!” Jing Yan commanded sharply.

“You brat, you dare tell me to get lost?” Liu Bo heard the word ‘get lost’ and a fury he had been suppressing in his heart suddenly burst forth uncontrollably.

His face reddened as he shouted angrily.

“You’re courting death!” Jing Yan’s aura suddenly condensed and a sharp glint burst forth from his eyes.

A sweeping killing intent enveloped Liu Bo completely.

Jing Yan loathed these three words the most.

And Liu Bo, indeed, was courting death.

Dragons have reverse scales, touch them and you will die!

Jing Yan had put up with Liu Bo for so long, but this person was utterly unaware of his own limits, thinking that Jing Yan’s tolerance was a sign of fear, of fear of his status as an Advanced Alchemist.

“Hisss!” Jing Yan flipped his palm outward, activating the Sky Wings.

A surge of Primordial Energy burst forth.

Liu Bo, merely a High-level Martial Artist, how could he possibly withstand Jing Yan?

He didn’t even have time to react before Jing Yan was upon him, palm slamming violently against his chest.

“Ah!” Liu Bo screamed miserably as his body flew backward.

“You…

you dare to kill me!” Liu Bo spat out blood, eyes glaring deathly at Jing Yan.

He had never imagined that Jing Yan would truly dare to kill him.

“People like you are scum; if I see one, I kill one,” Jing Yan said indifferently, watching Liu Bo’s life swiftly fading away.

In fact, although Jing Yan had previously disliked Liu Bo, he had never intended to kill him.

But Liu Bo had truly brought death upon himself by not knowing when to advance or retreat.

After Jing Yan had revealed so many high-quality medicines, Liu Bo should have immediately left, and Jing Yan would not have stopped him.

But this person remained shamelessly entangled and touched the place in Jing Yan’s heart that should not be touched.

Jing Chenxing quickly brought over two Jing Family guards to clean up Liu Bo’s corpse.

The other alchemists in the room were all staring blankly at Jing Yan.

They were all caught off-guard, and as they looked at Jing Yan again, much more awe was in their hearts.

This young man seemed easy to talk to, but if someone truly angered him, he would not show mercy.

An Advanced Alchemist had been killed just like that.

“Gentlemen!”

“Those who are willing to join the Splendid Pill Tower, I welcome you.

If anyone here does not wish to join the Splendid Pill Tower, then it is not a problem, you may leave on your own, and I will not stop you.

But if anyone speaks ill of the Splendid Pill Tower outside, do not blame me, Jing Yan, for not being courteous,” Jing Yan turned his gaze toward the alchemists in the room.

In this world, the most unreliable thing is the human heart.

Jing Yan did not need the loyalty of those who wavered like grass in the wind.

What the Splendid Pill Tower needed were those with a determined heart.

If the sight of Jing Yan killing Liu Bo made them give up on joining the Splendid Pill Tower, it would only be their loss.

The Splendid Pill Tower did not need such people.

Next, Jing Chenxing took charge of signing agreements with the alchemists who had decided to join the Splendid Pill Tower.

Indeed, some people, after seeing Jing Yan kill Liu Bo, gave up on joining the Splendid Pill Tower.

However, the majority still firmly joined the Splendid Pill Tower.

An Advanced Alchemist, three Intermediate Alchemists, five Basic Alchemists, and eight Pharmacist Apprentices.

These people joined the Splendid Pill Tower.

After signing the agreements, these alchemists rested briefly before starting to prepare medicines.

Except for the Advanced Alchemist Fang Shan, the other alchemists were guided by Jing Qingyan in making medicines.

Fang Shan, however, was directly instructed by Jing Yan in preparing various medicines.

Of course, Jing Yan’s instruction was only given once.

How much Fang Shan could learn depended on his own comprehension.

Although Jing Yan only demonstrated once, Fang Shan was still incredibly excited.

A window had been opened in his world, and everything had changed.

He thirstily absorbed the information he had just seen.

The fifth floor of the Splendid Pill Tower, the Alchemist Base, began to bustle with activity from that moment.

The next day, the trial opening of the Splendid Pill Tower began.

At the break of dawn, a large number of Martial Artists and adventurers gathered outside the Splendid Pill Tower.

They were all waiting for the trial opening to begin, waiting for the doors of the Splendid Pill Tower to open.

“Today is the trial opening of the Splendid Pill Tower, what do you think, how many medicines will they have for sale?”

“This Pill Tower has only been built for a few days, and they’re holding a trial opening today.

How much medicine could they have prepared in such a short time?”

“Hehe, the Splendid Pill Tower isn’t just teasing us, right?

Preparing a few dozen bottles of Low-level Healing Medicine for us to scramble for?”

The outside of the Splendid Pill Tower was extraordinarily noisy.

Most of these Martial Artists were just there to watch the excitement.

Additionally, many among them were spies sent by other Pharmaceutical Institutions.

Those institutions naturally wanted to know what the situation at the Splendid Pill Tower was now, whether they could really bring out enough medicines for sale.

Especially the Zhao and Cai Families were more concerned about the Splendid Pill Tower.

“Squeak!”

The doors of the Splendid Pill Tower opened.

Jing Chenxing walked out from inside.

“Gentlemen, the Splendid Pill Tower starts its trial opening today.

Welcome to come and select medicines from the Splendid Pill Tower,” Jing Chenxing announced loudly.

“Stop talking nonsense and let us in to see,” someone in the crowd urged impatiently.

“Hehe, very well, very well!” Jing Chenxing stepped back inside.

Many guards from the Jing Family came to help maintain order within the Pill Tower.

The crowd, like a tidal wave, surged into the Splendid Pill Tower.
