Chapter 39: The Seven Stars Pharmacist

  The trading district of Tianxing Academy is vast, like a small city. The entry of the top ten merchant alliances and thousands of years of development have made the trading district increasingly perfect, with almost no goods that cannot be bought or services that cannot be enjoyed.

  A straight street runs through the trading district, with auction houses, wine houses, inns, magic shops, and weapon shops on both sides. There are hundreds of shops, bustling with activity.

  The entire college, just the external institute alone, has over a million people, which is more than enough to support these stores.

  Xiao Chen walked into the trading district, his mind still communicating with Dennox.

  Denuos only knew now that Xiao Chen was actually just a Three-Star Warrior. This shocked him greatly, and he repeatedly exclaimed in disbelief. It wasn't until Xiao Chen showed him the whirlpool in his dantian that Denuos truly believed.

  "I now want to break through to the fourth-level Fa Shi, how can I break through." Xiao Chen has always been struggling with his lack of depth in magic research and inability to break through. Now, he has taken the nine-starred Fa Shi DeNox as his servant, which is like having a pillow sent while sleeping.

  Although De Knox's current strength has greatly decreased, leaving only a remnant of his soul, his experience is extremely rich, having studied magic for hundreds of years, and he can easily guide Xiao Chen's magical abilities.

  At this time, DeNoXs said sincerely: "Master, the most important thing for a magician is spiritual power. Your spiritual power is comparable to that of a high-level law enforcement officer. To break through is very simple, just absorb enough magical elements and you can break through. However, it still requires a bit of process. The fastest way is to use some heavenly treasures. Master is a wind system law body, currently, one Wind Spirit Fruit is enough for the master to break through."

  "Fēng Líng Guǒ!" Xiao Chen had heard of it from his twin sisters, a spirit fruit that was on the same level as Huǒ Yún Líng Guǒ.

  "But!" De Knox dragged out a long tone, with some proud expression on his face, saying: "Old servant is not only a nine-star necromancer, but also has another identity, which is a seven-star pharmacist!"

  Originally thought that Xiao Chen would be shocked and shaken upon hearing the news, but after waiting for half a day, De Nuo Ke Si did not see any special reaction from Xiao Chen.

  She lightly asked: "What's wrong with Qī Xīng the pharmacist?"

  De Knox almost vomited blood, suddenly having a sense of defeat like a bright pearl being thrown into darkness. He really wanted to shout loudly: "What's wrong with the Seven-Star Pharmacist? Do you understand, ignorant fool? This profession is one of the most respected on the entire continent, and my identity is even more noble than that of a Nine-Star Wizard. Even some Grand Wizards have to show me respect."

  However, he who had been sown with the seeds of the master-slave contract in his heart would never be able to be rude to Xiao Chen.

  "All I can say is that it's not a big deal, at least I have dozens of ways to configure magical potions with other ordinary medicinal materials to help you break through. Of course, if we had Wind Spirit Fruit, it would be even better, and I could configure more effective potions to increase your strength by two stars."

  Xiao Chen finally showed emotion.

  It's normal for Wind Spirit Fruit to increase one star of power, but Deno can use the same thing to increase two stars of power, which is extraordinary.

  It's as if the medicinal power has increased by more than double. The amount of medicinal power required to upgrade from four-star to five-star is definitely more than that from three-star to four-star.

  "Alright, let's go buy the medicinal herbs right away. Also, what is needed for refining the medicine, you tell me and I'll go get it."

  Xiao Chen was very decisive and walked along the road to a huge hemispherical building, and then went in.

  Kastro Merchant Alliance, one of the top ten merchant alliances in the Tianxing Empire, also has a branch within the academy.

  Xiao Chen entered the Castro Mall without any hesitation, and with his A-level VIP crystal card, he could get many discounts and privileges when shopping here.

  Enter the business alliance branch.

  The interior structure is similar to what Xiao Chen saw in the branch of Mount City. Having had experience once, Xiao Chen found a receptionist, explained his intention, and the receptionist led him to a large independent room.

  "Xiao Chen, this is our Merchant Alliance's material store. You can buy various medicinal materials here. Of course, we also sell finished medicines, but they are relatively expensive. There are some expensive medicinal materials on the second floor for you to choose from."

  The receptionist girl's voice was soft and clear as she introduced herself, and after Xiao Chen expressed his intention to wander around by himself, she slightly bowed her head and left.

  This room is extremely large, covering an area of four or five hundred square meters.

  Inside, each counter is separated by transparent glass stones, and the medicines inside can be clearly seen. Now, there are not many people strolling around in the medicine shop, mostly some students, occasionally also some instructors.

  Xiao Chen walked casually.

  The Dennox in his mind kept sending him messages.

  "Master, those stone lotus grass, buy ten plants."

  "Alright, Zi Wei Xing Hua, take ten of those too."

  "Feng Lang's eyeballs, two pairs."

  "Wisteria poisonous vine, five strips..."

  "Sea Star..."

  “……”

  After walking around in a circle, Xiao Chen had already selected over a dozen types of medicinal herbs under De Nuo Ke Si's guidance, and when gathered together they filled a large bag.

  De Knox shook his head after turning around: "There's nothing good here, just these low-grade goods. Unfortunately, there's no Wind Spirit Fruit."

  As a seven-star pharmacist, he naturally looked down on these low-grade medicinal materials.

  "Go upstairs and take a look, just now, that receptionist said that the second floor sells some expensive medicinal materials."

  Xiao Chen walked up the stairs to the second floor.

  As soon as I entered the second floor, I found that it was much more luxurious and grand inside. Each counter was made of high-quality jade stone, with even magic patterns carved on top, shining with a faint light.

  Not only that, but Xiao Chen could instantly feel that as soon as he entered the second floor, there were more than a dozen powerful auras lurking around.

  These, apparently, were the hidden guardians in the dark.

  They also did not conceal their breath, obviously intending to intimidate some petty scoundrels.

  Inside the counter, various magical potions with a sense of fluctuation were neatly arranged. Many of these potions enhance one's own state, such as Cat's Eye Potion, Barbarian's Potion, and Gale Potion... These potions are extremely expensive, with even one bottle costing over a hundred gold coins.

  As for some mana recovery potions, rapid healing potions, and antidotes, they are even more expensive, with each bottle starting at thousands.

  Even if Tianxing Academy is mostly filled with noble children, they would still feel embarrassed about their financial situation.

  So, the second floor has even fewer customers strolling around, sparse and scattered, all of whom are dressed extravagantly and have a noble demeanor. People with humble appearances like Xiao Chen are almost non-existent.

  However, after just a few steps, Denoix burst out laughing: "These are all trash potions, some of which aren't even successfully refined and are being sold as precious items. The Cat's Eye potion is supposed to increase speed by three times, but this garbage can only increase it by 50%. And what's with that Barbarian Bull potion? Not only does it only increase strength by 30%, but it also has aftereffects - three days of physical weakness! What a piece of junk. The potions I refine can at least double one's strength without any side effects."

  De Knox complained incessantly.

  This also made Xiao Chen feel unexpected. It seems that De Knox's identity as a seven-star pharmacist is much more powerful than he had imagined.

  This is also the reason why Xiao Chen doesn't understand this world.

  In fact, the identity of De Knox's Seven Star Pharmacist is extremely noble throughout the continent. If it were to be exposed in a fourth-level civilization like the Tianxing Empire, it would definitely cause a national sensation. Even if he met the Emperor of Tianxing, he wouldn't dare show any disrespect.

  Xiao Chen forgot, De Knox had once said that he could configure an elixir of immortality, and increase one's lifespan by several hundred years.

  Just this point alone is enough to drive countless people mad.

  Such an existence can hardly be described as ordinary.

  PS: The pharmacist profession is also divided into pharmacist, senior pharmacist, and chief pharmacist (each level has nine stars)
