Chapter 030 Western Fantasy Town 21

Adventurers are usually made up of people from all walks of life. As long as they have some strength and a good weapon, they can usually do well.

Pharmacists are different. All pharmacists have been to school and acquired knowledge. They possess a unique skill that can save lives and heal the wounded, so they are naturally respected.

There were no customers in the store at the moment. Theodore was reading a book. When he heard the noise and looked out the window, he was stunned.

He pulled the rope on the wall, and Xie Yunsui upstairs heard the bell.

There was nothing special about this ringtone. Theodore would only ring it when he was too busy or encountered a problem.

Xie Yunsui put down the formation diagram in his hand, stood up, tidied his appearance, and then went downstairs.

"Charles, a distinguished guest is coming." Theodore hurried to the door to prepare for the reception.

"Let me do it, Theodore, if you will, and see if the kettle is still hot."

Xie Yunsui had guessed that people from the Pharmacists' Union would come, but he didn't expect that they would be followed by a group of pharmacists.

Two men got off the leading carriage. They were wearing silver-white robes, the symbol of a pharmacist, with several different badges on their chests. Just by looking at them, one could tell that they were of high status.

Fortunately, one of them was an old acquaintance, Angelica. She supported another, who looked older, and introduced them to Ciel first, saying, "This is Olivia, one of the founders of the Pharmacists' Union."

Xie Yunsui placed his hand on his chest and bowed his head slightly. "It's an honor to meet you. I'm Charles."

He spotted Agnes peeking out of the yard and smiled, welcoming her in. He then introduced her, "This is Agnes, the village chief of Ika Village."

Olivia nodded slightly in greeting, and Agnes shifted her cane from her left hand to her right hand, and then back again, feeling a little overwhelmed.

After a while, he blushed and said, "Welcome, Ika Village welcomes you all."

Many young pharmacists got off the carriage one after another. Kate followed Dolores. This time, as the pharmacist representing Klein, she had to fight hard to get this spot.

She folded her hands, her posture was proud, her expression was indifferent, but her eyes looked the black-haired pharmacist up and down thoroughly.

Is that him? The genius pharmacist?

Legend has it that it only took three months from magic testing to the intermediate pharmacist assessment. Not only did he set the price of the potion so low, but he also grew magic apples with pure energy?

She was not the only one looking at Xie Yunsui. Xie Yunsui felt the gazes coming from all directions, but he pretended not to see them all and welcomed everyone into the store.

Theodore prepared tea for everyone and then stood aside obediently.

Agnes moved to stand with him.

Xie Yunsui first invited Olivia and Angelica to take a seat, and then asked the other pharmacists to sit down. When he turned around and found two sculptures standing next to him, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and invited them to take a seat as well.

Theodore pursed his lips tightly, his eyes full of retreat.

He had never seen such a serious scene. The eyes of these people seemed to be full of judgment and questioning, which made him unable to even laugh.

It was the first time that Xie Yunsui saw Theodore so reserved. After thinking about it, he decided not to force him.

After Xie Yunsui sat down, Olivia spoke up, "Charles, excuse me, what is your rank?"

Olivia always judged a person by his class, but when she met Xie Yunsui for the first time, she couldn't see his class.

She didn't think the young Ciel was higher in level than her. She was already level 90! There were only a handful of people on the entire continent with a higher level than her.

Xie Yunsui removed the energy he was trying to conceal: "Level 39."

This was earned by him brewing potions day and night to gain experience.

There was a small gasp from the pharmacist camp in the back, as if they were surprised by his level.

Kate was one of them. She looked at the place above his head without hesitation, where there should be a level bar.

She can't see.

As a junior pharmacist with a younger brother who always follows her around and asks for money, Kate is much more diligent than other junior pharmacists. She almost immediately starts refining potions as soon as her magic power recovers, and occasionally takes potions to replenish her energy. Even so, she is only around level 25.

How can a person reach level 39 in just three months?

Is this really the magic power he just detected three months ago?

Olivia had the same question.

Xie Yunsui didn't need to explain much. He just moved out three medicine pots from the kitchen and boiled three pots of medicine at the same time in front of all the pharmacists.

Of course, in each potion recipe, the materials that should have been used to harmonize the properties of the herbs were replaced with apples. Once the apples were put into the pot, they melted like water. There was no need for the pharmacist's magic power to blend the herbs silently and even faster!

Pharmacists from various towns saw apples used as medicine for the first time and immediately gathered around. When they saw such obvious effects, their expressions suddenly changed.

Only Dolores sat there dignifiedly, sipping her tea gently.

She was the first person to discover the magic apples. After spending a large sum of money to buy a batch of them, she used apples as medicine in every pot, thus supplying the entire Klein exorcism potion market.

I have to say, you can only know how good this apple is after you try it.

Ah, I kind of regret selling those 25,000 apples to the teacher.

Xie Yunsui showed off his ability to brew potions. Of course, this was Angelica's idea. She said that only by doing this could he be steady, accurate and ruthless, and make people accept his uniqueness.

This was indeed the case. He felt awkward inside for a moment, but on the surface he maintained a smile that could not be wrong.

Olivia nodded approvingly and commented, "Using this kind of pure energy material really saves a lot of mana. If this can be promoted on a large scale, young pharmacists won't have to worry about running out of mana anymore."

Angelica added, "However, this apple is only useful when refining elementary to intermediate potions. When it comes to advanced potions, the energy won't be enough to refine those herbs."

"That's enough." Olivia said, "How many senior pharmacists are there on the continent now? Junior pharmacists are the most numerous."

Everything is for the future of the pharmacist, and Olivier is about to sign a contract with Ciel.

Xie Yunsui said in embarrassment: "I don't have much left. There are only 20,000 apples left. I have to keep some to sell to the adventurers passing by."

Olivia was puzzled. "The adventurers... want apples too?"

Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "It's an apple first, and a material for refining medicine secondly. Its initial purpose is just to eat it."

One pharmacist immediately expressed his displeasure: "This magic apple can only be maximized if it's in our hands!"

Her voice was so loud that all the adventurers hiding in the yard and eavesdropping heard it clearly.

OK!

Just ask why so many pharmacists suddenly came!

Love is about taking all the apples!

The adventurers didn't care about the pharmacist anymore. We respected him but we were not fools either, so we rushed in and demanded an explanation.

"Shopkeeper! We really need these apples too, we can't sell them all to them."

"That's right. Once they turn this apple over, the potion becomes a hundred times more expensive. How can we afford such an expensive potion?"

"Who said we're worthless? Ever since I ate this apple, I've leveled up twice in ten days. What potion of yours has this effect?"

…

The adventurers were mostly big and strong men. They swarmed in and immediately filled the entire store.

They have loud and rough voices, and when several of them talk, there is a lot of noise, just like they are here to cause trouble.

The frail pharmacists retreated again and again, huddled together.

“You, you guys…”

Angelica pressed her fingers on the space bag, as if she was about to draw her sword in the next second.

Xie Yunsui stretched out his hand to suppress them. These adventurers did not dare to provoke the shop owner and fell silent in an instant.

Xie Yunsui then said, "I have already cleared a piece of land high up in the mountains to plant apple trees. We will never lack apples in the future."

Adventurer: "It takes at least a year for an apple tree to grow."

"The magic apple tree is different. It only takes ninety days to bear fruit."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes suddenly became hot.

Xie Yunsui seemed to see through their thoughts and poured a bucket of cold water on them: "Magic apple trees need magic to feed them. They need to be regularly dewormed with special insect repellents. When they are ripe, they also need special lasso tools to pick them."

He spoke half-truthfully, the first sentence being to dissuade the adventurers.

The potions in the store can be made by any pharmacist except him. He only attracts so many customers by offering low prices and limited purchases.

Apple is his unique trump card. If he hands over the apple seeds, his mission will be doomed to failure.

Olivia understood what he meant, frowned slightly, and looked at Angelica. She had promised that after the apples were included in the medicine-making materials, the owner of the apples would be willing to sell the seeds.

Angelica motioned her not to worry.

Xie Yunsui made a promise to the adventurers, promising that the store would always have magic apples for sale in the future, and that the price of magic apples in Charles' store would never increase.

The adventurer then left with a slightly better look on his face.

After appeasing one side, he continued to appease the other side. Xie Yunsui only took out a bag of 10 apple seeds and was willing to sell them to the Pharmacist Guild at the price of 100 gold per seed.

Olivia frowned: "Too little."

The price is not the problem, but with only 10 seeds, how many apples can be grown?

Angelica no longer cared about the pleasant friendship she had with the store owner during this period. She was a member of the Pharmacists' Union, so of course she had to fight for the rights of her own people.

"We want seeds from the same tree as your apple orchard."

"Ten seeds are enough for you to harvest continuously. Besides, with so many seeds, you can't grow them without the corresponding insect repellent."

"We can make insect repellent."

"The insect repellent is made of special materials, so I have to make it myself."

Angelica frowned, "You didn't tell me it was so complicated beforehand."

Dolores put down her teacup and spoke softly, "Teacher, I think the owner of the Charles store also needs to consider the business of his own store."

Angelica: "I can guarantee that the apples grown by the Pharmacists Guild will only be sold to pharmacists."

"How about this," Xie Yunsui pondered, "Why don't I clearly mark the price and follow the store's rules. Each person will be limited to a daily purchase. How many seeds they can consume will depend on the courage of the union."

Angelica made the decision: "Okay!"

She turned her head to look at Olivia, and when she saw her nodding silently, she understood.

"But I need to remind you that apple trees are not something that can be planted by just anyone."

Xie Yunsui took out the apple seeds, the accompanying insect repellent and the lasso tool, and marked the prices on each.

Seed: 100 gold coins.

Insect Repellent: 1 silver coin.

Lasso Tool: 1 Silver Coin.

Compared with the seeds, the latter two are so cheap that they are unbearable.

Xie Yunsui reminded again: "The insect repellent and lasso tool can only be used 20 times each. After 20 times, they will be damaged and need to be replaced with new ones."

Kate and the other sisters were a little hesitant. Apples in Charles's shop were only one silver coin each. By this calculation, one seed would have to produce at least ten thousand apples to recoup the cost, not to mention the cost of insect repellent and lasso tools. No matter how you calculate it, it was a loss.

Might as well just buy the apples in the store.

But there are purchase restrictions here, damn it!
