Chapter 150: Booming Business



The business of the Secret Demon Potion Shop was getting better and better. The happiest people were Xia and the little black dragon Buckle. These two money-loving people couldn't stop smiling when they saw that people kept sending them shining black crystal coins every day.

The reason why the shop's business suddenly became so popular is due to the new medicines launched by the pharmacist in the shop. Although there are only five new medicines for now, the shop owner said that it won't be long before the shop will have more new medicines on the shelves.

The shop's business was booming in the beginning because of the existence of the antidote potion. With the continuous attempts of those lowest-level adventurers in the demon world, the potion of the shop finally became famous in the adventurer circle of the Kalonya region.

Good news such as petrification potions, underwater breathing potions and various strange potions that brought huge benefits when used at the right time spread among the adventurer circle.

It’s a pity that some people couldn’t buy the medicine because the pharmacist of the shop was out traveling some time ago, but now that it has reopened, many adventurers have come to visit.

The business of the shop is still booming today. The queue is very long, but a group of people walked directly into the shop under the attention of all the people in the queue.

Xia stood on a chair in front of the counter and bargained with the customers. Although Lin Xingchen reminded her to set a price for each medicine, Xia refused. She said she liked the feeling of bargaining with others.

As soon as the group of people came in, one of the big men slapped the counter and said, "Call your boss out, we have a big business to take care of him!" As soon as he finished speaking, the counter made of iron and wood, which is unique to the demon world, collapsed suddenly.

Xia was so frightened that she screamed loudly, and the person who slammed the table did not expect that his slap would have such a result, and the scene suddenly became awkward.

The one who slammed the table was embarrassed at first and then shouted at Xia, threatening to throw her out if she kept yelling.

The frightened little girl came to her senses at this time. She looked at the broken table and immediately became furious and shouted towards the inner room! "Bakar... where have you been... someone is causing trouble and you don't get out of here, or I won't give you food tonight..." As soon as Xia finished howling, the little black dragon Bakar appeared in front of her.

Xia pointed at the man who was banging the table and said, "This guy broke our table. You should throw him out. And his friends should be thrown out too after they pay for the table and my mental damages."

"Five-five?" The little black dragon turned his head and asked.

"Bullshit, at most I'll give you eight and two!" The little girl naturally refused.

"I won't do it for less than fifty-fifty!"

"It's my fault. I'll pay 60% and you'll pay 40%. If you don't want to do it, I'll find someone else..."

"Deal!" After saying that, the little black dragon appeared in front of the guy who slammed the table.

The leader of the group frowned when the two little guys were negotiating the price. But when he saw a dark-haired man appear in front of his men, it was too late for him to speak.

A 2-meter-tall man weighing at least 190 kilograms flew out of the door amid the puzzled looks of the crowd.

When the big man was groaning on the ground, everyone came to their senses and wanted to go see him, but Little Black Charcoal blocked the door and spread his hands: "Pay for the table first, or you can't leave! Oh, and mental damages!"

"Little brother... my brother was a little reckless and broke your table. We will compensate you for it. As for the mental damage, we will also pay for it." The leader wiped his face, still feeling a little frightened.

"I'll give you four amethyst coins for the table, and you have to pay ten for my mental damage!" Xia's voice came out from behind the counter in a timely manner.

The leader shook his head helplessly, took out fourteen purple crystal coins and handed them to Black Charcoal Head, then took his companions to check the one that was thrown out.

After a thorough checkup, I was relieved that the little black charcoal had not hurt anyone. He just had some minor injuries and the reason why he couldn't make a sound was because he was scared.

"Well! My brother was really rude and offended you all just now. May I ask if the boss is here? We really have something to talk to him about!" The leader suppressed his anger after all, he really had something to do this time.

"If you have anything to talk to my master about, just tell me. If I feel it is necessary to tell my master, I will go back and inform him!" Blake put down what he was doing and looked at the man and said.

Seeing that the pharmacist had said this, the leader knew that he had to speak up: "I know that the boss here is a pharmacy master. I would like to ask the master if he can prepare the legendary ghost potion!"

"Ghost potion! What do you want this potion for?" Blake was a little surprised.

Although this potion has been passed down in the demon world, the actual potion masters who can prepare it are unwilling to touch it, because the reputation of this potion is too bad. The outside world directly calls this potion the Peeping Potion! It is because there are too many examples out there that make Blake have to be surprised.

"Uh... please believe us, we really need this potion for a great use, otherwise we wouldn't have to spend a huge amount of money to seek help from a master! By the way, my name is Baron, and I'm the captain of an adventurer team in Kalonya." Baron seemed to know the bad reputation of the ghost potion, so he hurried to explain when he saw Blake staring at him.

"I'll go ask my master if he's willing to let you wait a moment!" Blake nodded and signaled Xia to continue her business.

"Master! Are you free? There is a guest outside who wants to see you. He said he wants your help in preparing medicine." Blake knocked on the door before asking.

"Bring him over here! I'm free now so it's okay for me to see him." Lin Xingchen, who had just finished his training, asked his little disciple to bring the man over when he heard him say that.

Soon Blake brought Baron to his master's small courtyard. Lin Xingchen had already prepared tea and was waiting for them in the pavilion at the door.

"Baron meets Master Xingchen. I'm so sorry to disturb you!"

"Don't be so polite, sit down first! After all, things can't be made clear in just a few words!" Alchemy master is a popular profession no matter where you are. If you are too enthusiastic, people will think you are unreliable. In the eyes of the people in the demon world, the master level is not high and mighty.

"Thank you so much, Master!" He took the small teacup handed to him by Lin Xingchen with both hands and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste made him look a little unnatural.

"Haha... It seems that you don't like this kind of thing either. Judging from your age, you should be in your twenties!" Lin Xingchen also knew that it would take some time for the people of the Demon Realm to become familiar with this kind of thing.

"Yes, I'm twenty-three this year!" Although he didn't know why this seemingly young pharmacist asked him his age, he had heard a lot about the pharmacists' magical methods and it was not difficult for them to keep themselves young.

"Most of the food in the demon world is meat-based. Only those who are really poor will eat wild vegetables. Eating meat for a long time will cause your stomach to become weak, so you often suffer from constipation!"

"One of the benefits of this thing is that it can replenish some nutrients in your body and make your whole body unobstructed. As for other benefits, if you want, I can tell you, but now let's talk about your purpose. What kind of medicine do you want me to prepare for you?"

"Master, this is what I want to ask you to help me prepare a batch of ghost potions. If you are willing to pay, the price is negotiable!" Baron didn't care about the benefits of tea. What he needed was the purpose of his visit.

"Ghost potion? I'm very sorry, I have heard of this potion, but I have never seen the formula, so I can't help you." Of course Lin Xingchen didn't have the formula. After all, all he had were the highest-level formulas exchanged from the association.

"Master, if you have the formula, would you be willing to help?" Blake was a little unwilling. Kalonya now has three pharmacy masters, and the other two are unwilling to help. This one is his last hope.

"If you can provide the recipe, I would be willing to give it a try. After all, it's not a bad thing for me to learn one more potion!" Lin Xingchen said with a smile while drinking tea.

"Master, this ghost potion has a very bad reputation. Many people use it to steal or peek!" Blake was afraid that the master didn't know what the ghost potion was, so he quickly explained it.

"Hehe..., Black's potion is just like the weapon in your hand. You can't say that the weapon is a bad thing just because it kills people. It's people who use it, not it using people." Black's thinking logic is very bad. Although Lin Xingchen has always let them do whatever they want, he is still very concerned about some mental issues.

"Got it, Master!"

"Master, I really admire your insights. To be honest, I have gone to see two other masters, and when they heard about the ghost potion, they all kicked me out. Only you didn't have any prejudice against it after hearing about it." Blake's words were compliments from the bottom of his heart.

"Go and prepare the recipe and necessary herbs and bring them to me. This is my first time so I can't guarantee the success rate!" At this point, Lin Xingchen didn't want to keep Baron anymore.

Baron naturally understood what he meant, and said a few polite words respectfully before leaving.

"Master, Ghost Potion is actually a banned drug in the Demon World and the Association, mainly because Ghost Potion has caused too many bad things!"

"What does it have to do with me? Are you going to fire me just because I set up the Ghost Potion Association? Don't forget that they still need my help to deal with the Potion Competition next year."

"Master, do you really want to help them participate in the master-level competition?"

"Let me tell you something. In the main world, I once tried to form an organization similar to the Potion Association, but it failed in the end. I didn't expect to see its existence in the Demon World. I am eager to discuss the world of potions with the real masters of the Demon World."
