Chapter 38 Seeking Support

The next morning, Chen Baolan packed his luggage and left.

He left behind a book of his insights from when he attempted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm and even gave Chen Xinglan a jade pendant. Its use was to clear one’s heart and calm one’s mind. If a Qi Refinement cultivator wore it, it could increase their divine sense by 20 to 30%.

It was equivalent to a quarter of the effect of the Spirit Ascension Powder. It was an opportunity that Chen Baolan had obtained when he was excavating an ancient ruin.

Chen Xinglan did not argue. After all, it was a gift from his own younger brother, so he simply accepted it. However, he had also said that after he attempted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, he would return it to Chen Baolan. Chen Baolan also smiled and nodded.

As for Wang Jianyuan and Chen Yulan, they gave Chen Baolan a huge gift.

They simply gave Chen Baolan 80,000 Karma Points. They had originally planned to buy one of the Three Foundation Establishment Treasures as a gift, but they really couldn’t get it, so they could only give him Karma Points.

However, Chen Xinglan and his wife naturally refused to accept it. Even if they were biological siblings, they felt guilty accepting such a huge sum of Karma Points.

It was not easy to refuse the gift at the entrance of the theater that night. This morning, Tang Pancui deliberately woke up early to send the 800,000 Karma Points back.

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

After sending Chen Baolan off, Tang Pancui hurriedly took the bus.

Chen Xinglan had drunk too much last night and his alcohol tolerance was average. Thus, he had yet to wake up.

“Got it.”

Chen Mobai casually ate some breakfast and then applied for a day off from his form teacher.

Chai Deyun was also very responsible. After seeing the message, he specially called to ask what was going on. After all, the college entrance examination was coming soon, and every day was very important. However, after knowing that Chen Mobai was going to send his father off, Chen Xinglan, to the Crimson Afterglow Academy to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Realm today, he still congratulated him politely and approved his leave.

He went to the Evergreen Pharmacy at the end of the street as usual.

Chen Mobai was experienced this time. After walking in and waiting for a while, the young girl in the white nurse uniform walked out. However, this time, she didn’t have a big iron pot in her hands. She seemed to be in the busy stage of extracting the medicinal liquid. Her exposed snow-white skin by the edge of the mask was slightly covered in sweat.

“What do you want this time?”

After two transactions, the two of them knew each other. The young girl first removed the smell of medicine from her body before walking over to ask.

“I want some hangover medicine.”

“How much do you want?”

“Give me a box.”

“That’ll be 30 Karma Points.”

Chen Mobai took the bottle of spiritual water that the girl took out from the cabinet. It was used to cure hangovers. Then, he immediately took out his phone to pay.

“I think I saw you sealing the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water last time.”

Seeing that the girl was about to return to the back hall, he could not help but ask.

“You’re talking about that? My teacher refined it. That’s all for the Aquarius Pharmacy. Even if you want to buy it, I can’t sell it to you.”

Qing Nu clearly knew what Chen Mobai wanted to ask and directly blocked his thoughts.

“Aren’t there any extra portions? I heard on the Internet that every alchemist will refine an extra 10%. This is in case there are any accidents and they cannot report that they have achieved the quota.”

However, Chen Mobai still did not give up. If he had enough Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, his father might be able to reach perfection in Qi Refinement Level-9 within the next two years by cultivating above an inferior-grade Rank-3 spiritual vein.

“There are extra portions, but Teacher will sell them to old clients he’s known for years. Even I don’t get a share.”

Qing Nu shook her head and said something that made Chen Mobai have no choice but to give up on the idea of buying the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water from here.

“That’s too bad.”

Holding the sealed hangover medicine in his hand, Chen Mobai thanked Qing Nu and turned to leave.

“If you believe me, I can actually refine this Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.”

At that moment, the girl’s slow voice behind him made him turn around immediately.

“You! Can you refine it?”

“A Rank-1 bottle shouldn’t be a problem. Even though I haven’t passed the official alchemist examination from the immortal sect, I’ve learned most of the basic knowledge.”

“However, alchemists rely on practical knowledge. No matter how good your grasp of knowledge is, you still have to refine it before you can use it.”

“Oh. sure.”

Qing Nu simply mentioned this. Seeing Chen Mobai sizing her up with a look of distrust, she did not explain further.

“Wait, you can really refine it?”.

Seeing that Qing Nu had lifted the curtain to the backyard and was about to turn around and leave, Chen Mobai couldn’t stand it anymore and asked desperately.

“Apart from the last step of mixing the medicinal liquid, which has always been personally done by Teacher, I’ve already experienced the other basic steps and processes more than a dozen times. The success rate can reach 80-90%.”

“How can I work with you?”

After Chen Mobai recovered from his shock, his high EQ returned again. He did not ask how confident Qing Nu was about the last step. Instead, he humbly asked what he could do.

“You provide the materials, and I’ll practice with your materials. If I succeed, I’ll give it all to you. If I fail, the losses will be on you.”

Qing Nu’s words made Chen Mobai fall into deep thought.

It was because the two of them had only made three deals and did not have a deep foundation of trust.

With Wu Wan’s example, Chen Mobai was now wary of everyone who opened their doors to do business.

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

Chen Mobai decided to think about it carefully. This was a rare opportunity, but Qing Nu looked about the same age as him. Even if she had been refining pills since she was young, her level could not be too high. Although he had some Karma Points now, he did not dare to waste them.

After all, everyone knew that providing for an alchemist to cultivate was the most expensive!

If one failed at refining weapons, the raw materials could still be decomposed by a machine and reused.

However, if this pill refinement failed, the product would be completely useless and could not be used anymore. However, the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water used a water-type pill refinement method. As long as there were no mistakes in the extraction of the medicinal liquid in the beginning, even if she failed at the last step of the concoction at the first attempt, she could slowly experiment. It was much more tolerable than fire-type pill refinement.

“I’m not too free. I have to complete the mission Teacher assigned me.”

When Qing Nu saw Chen Mobai’s attitude of not bargaining when he bought the spiritual testing instrument, she thought that he should be from a relatively rich family. It just so happened that she was planning to apply to be a Rank-1 alchemist in an immortal sect recently and needed to practice her water alchemy techniques in advance. When she heard that Chen Mobai needed to buy the Qi Replenishing Spirit Water, she tactfully mentioned it.

However, this was the first time that Qing Nu had asked for support. Thus, she was a little unfamiliar with it.

At this point, seeing that Chen Mobai was not too enthusiastic, she also retreated a little.

“I still have two tickets to the Jade Phoenix Troupe. I have front-row seats to Meng Huang’er and Jiang Yuyuan’s ‘Moon Treading’. It’s considered the best seat other than the private rooms.”

Chen Baolan had given him ten tickets. Yesterday, their family had used up seven tickets. He also promised to give one to his cousin, Wang Xinying. Thus, he still had two tickets left. He thought that this young girl in front of him was about the same age as him and should be interested in the Jade Phoenix Troupe.

However, he had completely underestimated Jiang Yuyuan’s ability to attract the girls of the entire immortal sect

As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, Qing Nu’s eyes lit up.
