The next morning, Chen Baolan packed up and left.

He left behind a book of insights from his own Foundation Establishment phase and even gave a Jade Pendant to Chen Xinglan. The pendant had the function of calming the mind and, when worn, could increase a Qi Practitioner’s Divine Sense by twenty to thirty percent.

The effect was equivalent to a quarter of what is received after taking the Spirit Ascension Powder, and it was something Chen Baolan had obtained during an excavation of ancient relics.

Chen Xinglan didn’t hesitate to accept it since it was a gift from his own younger brother. He did say, however, that once he reached the Foundation Establishment phase, whether successful or not, he would return the Jade Pendant to Chen Bao Lan, who agreed with a smile.

As for Wang Jianyuan and his wife, Chen Yulan, they gave an exceedingly generous gift.

They gave eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points. They had planned to buy a gift from the three treasures of Foundation Establishment, but they were unable to purchase them, so they could only give Good Deed Points instead.

However, Chen Xinglan and his wife naturally declined to accept it. Even if it was from his close siblings, such a large sum of Good Deed Points would weigh heavily on their conscience.

They had been reluctant to refuse at the theatre door the previous night, and Tang Panchui got up extra early this morning, planning to return the eight hundred thousand Good Deed Points.

“Son, go buy some hangover medicine for your father. I’m going to your aunt’s house first.”

After she saw a Chen Baolan off, Tang Panchui hurriedly took a bus.

Chen Xinglan had had too much to drink the night before, and his usual tolerance for alcohol was rather weak, so he was still unconscious.

“Understood.”

Chen Mobai ate a bit of breakfast and then asked his homeroom teacher for a day off.

The homeroom teacher Chai Deyun was very responsible and asked about Chen Mobai’s reasons over the phone since the university entrance exam was approaching and every day mattered. However, when he heard that Chen Xinglan was going to Red Dawn Institution to prepare for the Foundation Establishment phase, he politely congratulated him and granted him the leave.

He returned to the Evergreen Pharmacy that was still at the corner of the street.

Chen Mobai, now more experienced, walked in and waited for a while before a young girl in a white nurse’s uniform came out. But this time, she didn’t have a large iron kettle in her hand. It seemed like she was still busy extracting the medicine, and there were tiny beads of sweat visible on the pale skin exposed under the edge of her mask.

“What are you looking for this time?”

After two transactions, they were now acquainted. The girl first dispelled the medicinal smell from herself, then approached and asked.

“Hangover medicine.”

“How much do you need?”

“One box.”

“30 Good Deed Points.”

Chen Mobai took the Spiritual Water meant to cure hangovers that she handed him from a medicine cabinet and immediately took out his mobile phone to make a payment by scanning the QR code.

“I seem to have seen you packaging ‘Qi-replenishing Spirit Water’ last time?”

Seeing that the girl was about to return to the back room, he couldn’t help but ask.

“That one you’re talking about was concocted by my teacher. It’s exclusively supplied to Baoping Pharmacy. Even if you want to buy it, I can’t sell it to you.”

The nameless girl seemed to know what Chen Mobai was going to ask, and she preemptively shot down his ideas.

“Is there no surplus? I heard online that every alchemist always practices by making an extra ten percent of the stock, in case anything goes wrong, and they can’t deliver the full amount.”

But Chen Mobai was still hopeful. If he had enough Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, his father might be able to reach the perfect state of Qi Cultivation at Rank-3 lower-grade Spirit Vein within these two years.

“There is a surplus, but my teacher sells it to her long-term regular customers.

I can’t even get a share.”

The girl shook her head, saying something that forced Chen Mobai to abandon the idea of buying Qi-replenishing Spirit Water here.

“That’s really a pity.”

Holding the sealed hangover medicine in his hand, Chen Mobai thanked the girl before turning to leave.

“If you trust me, actually, I can also produce Qi-replenishing Spirit Water.”

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the girl’s slow, soft voice and immediately turned around.

“You! You can concoct it?”

“I should be able to make Rank-1. Even though I haven’t officially passed the Alchemist’s assessment from the sect, I’ve learned pretty much all the basic knowledge.”

“But an Alchemist depends on practice to gain true knowledge, no matter how good the theoretical knowledge, it still has to be concocted before it can be useful.”

“Oh, alright then.”

The girl was just saying this casually. Seeing Chen Mobai looking at her incredulously, she didn’t bother to explain any further.

“Wait, can you really make it?”

Seeing the girl about to leave through the backyard curtain, Chen Mobai couldn’t hold back and asked, clutching at straws.

“Except for the final step of mixing the medicinal fluid, which has always been personally carried out by my teacher, I’ve already gone through the basic steps and processes more than a dozen times. The success rate should be about eighty to ninety percent.”

“What can I do to cooperate with you?”

When Chen Mobai came to his senses from his shock, his high emotional intelligence returned again. Instead of further questioning how sure she was about the final step, he asked humbly what he could do.

“You provide the materials, and I use your materials for practice. If I’m successful, you can take it all. If I fail, the loss is yours.”

The girl’s words plunged Chen Mobai into deep thought.

In reality, they had only transacted three times, and their trust foundation was not strong.

Having learned a lesson from Wu Wan, Chen Mobai now vigilant about everyone he does business with.

“I have something to do today. Are you free after school tomorrow?”

Chen Mobai decided to think it through. The chance was hard to come by, the girl seemed to be about his age, and even if she had been practicing alchemy since she was little, her skills couldn’t be very high. Although he had some Good Deed Points right now, he didn’t dare to waste them recklessly.

Everyone knows that supporting an alchemist in their cultivation is most expensive!

When Artifact Refining fails, the original materials could still be partially retrieved by machines for reuse.

However, if alchemy fails, it’s a total waste, rendering it completely useless. However, Qi-replenishing Spirit Water follows the Water Method Alchemy. As long as the process of extracting the medicinal solution doesn’t go wrong, even if the last step of mixing fails at the first try, one can slowly experiment. The error tolerance rate is much higher than alchemy that follows the Fire Method.

“I’m not that free because I need to complete the tasks assigned by my teacher.” Seeing Chen Mobai’s nonchalance, the girl seemed to be backing off. She was trying this kind of seeking patronage for the first time and was a bit unfamiliar with it.

“I still have two tickets from the Jade Phoenix Theatre troupe’s performance of the ‘Stepping Moon Tune’ by Meng Huang and Jiang Yuyuan, front row seats, it’s practically the best place excluding the box seats.”

There were ten tickets given by Chen Baolan. They used seven of them last night and promised to give one to his cousin Wang Xinying. He had two left over. Chen Mobai thought that since the girl was of a similar age as him, she would probably show interest in the Jade Phoenix Troupe.

However, he completely underestimated the appeal of Jiang Yuyuan to all the young girls of the sect.

As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, the girl’s eyes lit up..
