Gu Yuan was really speechless about the pharmacist.
This guy actually wants to use his own body as an experimental carrier. Isn't this too crazy?
Gu Yuan frowned and said, "Although the detoxification pill is effective, it's not a panacea. It's just a small second-grade detoxification pill. It doesn't mean it can definitely detoxify any poison. If the toxin is completely absorbed into your body and then mutates, I can't guarantee that the detoxification pill will still be effective."
As he spoke, Gu Yuan took out a light green jade bottle from his ring and continued, "There are ten detoxification pills in here. You can keep the extra ones for later use."
"Ten? All for me?"
The pharmacist hurriedly took the pill handed to him by Gu Yuan. He opened the jade bottle and took a look. When he smelled the familiar scent, he couldn't help but get excited again.
"This...you gave me so much, what are you going to do in the future?"
The pharmacist suddenly calmed down, shook his head, and said a few more words that Gu Yuan didn't hear. He poured out two pills from the jade bottle, and a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes. However, he still handed the remaining detoxification pill in the jade bottle to Gu Yuan and said, "Although the grade of this pill is not high, second-grade pills are also difficult for me to obtain. After all, we are not alchemists, and it is unrealistic to find an alchemist to refine it. It's good enough that you can give it to me. I'm a little greedy and asked for two pills. You should take the other eight back. After all, you may need them in the future."
Gu Yuan watched the pharmacist's actions, and his favorable impression of the pharmacist increased again.
It can be seen that the pharmacist was very tempted by the detoxification pills, but she resisted the temptation and only kept two for herself. It was not easy to do so.
So Gu Yuan shook his head and did not take the pill back.
"Pharmacist, I told you, this pill is for you. You can keep it. This pill is a gift from me." Gu Yuan said.
"But the quality of this medicine is so high, far beyond what a second-grade medicine can offer, it must be worth a fortune. And even without mentioning this, if you give me so much, what will you use it for in the future?" the pharmacist asked with a frown.
"Hehehe, what's the matter? Does the pharmacist think that my life is not worth these ten small detoxification pills?" Gu Yuan asked with a smile, without any intention of taking the pills back.
The pharmacist laughed helplessly, and had to withdraw his hand, saying, "What should I do now? As the saying goes, no reward without merit, I... Sigh!"
"Pharmacist, this is serious. You saved me, Gu Yuan. Even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. Besides, this little detoxification pill is nothing. Although it is valuable, it is not as precious as my life, isn't it?"
Gu Yuan chuckled.
"Hahaha! Alright, alright! Since you, Gu Yuan, have said so, it would be hypocritical of me to refuse. Okay! Although we have only known each other for less than two days, I can see that you, Gu Yuan, are a genuine person. I am a little older than you, so if you don't mind, I would like to call you Brother Gu Yuan!"
"Hahaha! You still don't know the name of the pharmacist brother?"
Gu Yuan was not stupid either, so he called him "big brother" directly.
"Hehe, just call me Brother Pharmacist. I don't have a name. No one has called me by name for so many years that I even forgot my own name!" said the pharmacist with a smile.
"Well... well, in that case, I'll just call you Brother Pharmacist from now on!"
"Brother Gu Yuan!"
"Brother Pharmacist!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After this exchange, Gu Yuan and the pharmacist instantly became familiar with each other, and the atmosphere in the room became much more cheerful.
"Brother Pharmacist, do you really want to use yourself for the experiment? I heard some stories from the villagers before, and it feels a bit weird. Doing so is risky. After all, we still don't know the exact nature of the poison."
"I just want to study what happens after it's absorbed into the bloodstream. Is it an evil being that's attached to the human body, or is there some other way? I think I need to think about it carefully!"
"You can't use your own body for experiments!" Gu Yuan said with a wry smile.
"I've just said it. How can I joke about my own life? I don't want to die, so I'm actually a little confident in my physical condition. You don't have to worry about me. I'm sure I'll be fine." said the pharmacist.
"Well, since you, Brother Pharmacist, have said so, I won't try to persuade you anymore." Gu Yuan said.
"By the way, Brother Gu Yuan, these high-quality pills were not made by you yourself, right?" the pharmacist suddenly asked.
"Uh... probably not. I don't think I can be an alchemist."
"Have you even forgotten whether you are an alchemist?"
"Didn't I tell you that I don't remember anything except my name? Besides that, I only have my fighting instincts. As for refining medicine, don't tell me. I suddenly wonder if I'm really an alchemist."
"Hahaha, Brother Gu Yuan, I was just saying that. I wouldn't have believed you if you said you were an alchemist. But now that you say that, I find it more believable. You're so young, it's already not easy for you to become a second-grade alchemist. But considering the quality of this detoxification pill, it's impossible to refine it without the strength of a third-grade alchemist. This detoxification pill is already comparable to a third-grade pill."
"Brother Pharmacist seems to have a deep understanding of elixirs?"
Gu Yuan changed the subject without noticing.
"Hey, have you forgotten what I do? I'm a pharmacist. I deal with herbs all year round. Of course, I'll come across some spiritual medicines from time to time. Alchemy is an extremely rare profession. Even in the nearby big city of Leiming City, there aren't many. I like to study things, so I often learn to make pills from those alchemists. To be precise, what I make can't be called pills, they can only be considered pills."
The pharmacist smiled bitterly, seeming a little shy and proud, and then took out two round pills of irregular shape from his arms.
"Look, this green pill is a mixture of more than a dozen herbs. It took me twelve days to refine it. It has the effect of healing wounds. Don't be fooled by its ugly appearance, but it is much more effective than making a soup or eating it directly. After all, it actually contains the essence of these dozen herbs. I used to be quite proud of this pill, but after seeing your pill, oh, now I think about it, I am really ashamed. What kind of person am I? It's a joke!"
Despite saying this, the pharmacist still carefully put the pill in his hand into his arms.
Gu Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "This pill actually looks pretty good."
