Chapter 7 Master of Pharmacy
At night, in an unmanned alley in Gulun City, the air on the street suddenly blew a strange wave, and then a figure slowly appeared from inside.
"I didn't expect the catastrophe to come anyway." Tian Yi frowned and looked at the Tianzhi Shang Chamber of Commerce branch with fire in the distance, and his worries were endless.
He had a melee with a group of devils just now, but of course, the other party was naturally slaughtered. Then he burned the place and covered up all his breath. The reason why he was so cautious was because Tianyi felt a strong threat.
The threat naturally did not come from the group of devils just now.
The group of demons just now were just small minions in the devil clan, but their strength should not be underestimated. Both of them were small minions, and the strength of these devils was more than three times stronger than those of the demon clan eight thousand years ago. What's even more terrifying is that these devils and demons were different from those of the devil clan eight thousand years ago. This was completely different from those of the demon clan eight thousand years ago.
Eight thousand years ago, those demons were strong and cruel, but they did not use such cunning tricks at all. They seemed to be just a group of beasts that pursued instinct. But unlike wild beasts, their desires were endless. Now the devil is a smarter race that suppresses their instincts. Tianyi could not imagine what the world would become after the devil race completely penetrated humans. If the war lasted, would humans collapse internally first?
"I don't know if there are any throne-level devils in the Devil Clan like Scorched Earth." This is what Tianyi is most worried about. At his peak, he was only as good as Scorched Earth, and even slightly weaker than the other party. If it is converted to three times stronger than the Devil, even if he returns to the peak, he will never be an opponent of the Devil at the Throne-level devil.
"It seems that the leisurely days have finally passed. It is imminent to restore strength!" Frowning and clenched their fists, Tianyi disappeared into the air again.
Back at the Red Grand Duke's Mansion, Tianyi found Chi Qingtian who was waiting for him.
"Master, you are back." Seeing Tianyi appear in the hall, Chi Qingtian hurriedly stood up.
"Sit down, you know I usually like to be a little casual."
"Master, you look a little..." Chi Qingtian looked up and saw that there was a worry that he had never seen before.
He had never seen his master look like this. A hundred years ago, he followed his master for ten years. Chi Qingtian knew his master's temperament more well. The master was at ease and had no difficulties in anything that seemed to him. But now that he showed this expression, it means...
"What happened!" Tianyi didn't intend to hide anything, and said, "Remember the demonic battle I told you about eight thousand years ago?"
"I remember that at that time, all races on the entire continent were invaded by the army of demons. Humans, elves, orcs, shadow clans, fairies... All races on the continent united like never before, and under the leadership of the seven heroes, they could only endure this catastrophe. After that catastrophe, the "Father Martial Ancestor" of the human race disappeared from the human world, the elf prince Khakirasri entered the earth to sleep, the "Dark Son" of the shadow clan also disappeared for no reason, and the orcs' "God of War" Kuraro died together with a demon throne... From then on, almost all the elites of all races were lost, and the cultivation history of the mainland entered a period of low a long time."
"It seems you remember this history very clearly." Tian nodded.
"Because my master often mentioned these things before, saying that eight thousand years of peace have made human beings lazy and lazy..." Chi Qingtian said, and his face suddenly changed. He was a smart man and immediately thought of something.
"Master, can it be...will it be eight thousand years later, and the demons..."
"No!" Tianyi shook his head, letting Chi Qingtian, who had already raised his heart to his throat, breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's even worse than that!"
"What?" Chi Qingtian could not have imagined that there was something more terrifying in this world than a demon invasion.
"A brand new hell race is stronger than the demons and smarter than the demons. They have turned into human forms and lurked into human society." Tianyi slowly told Chi Qingtian word for his experience.
"Master...what should we do now?" After hearing Tianyi's words, Chi Qingtian's voice trembled slightly. Although he was already ranked as the Grand Duke, Chi Qingtian had never dealt with something bigger than this. For a moment, he had been in a high position for a long time and had no idea.
"First watch the changes, find out their details before talking." Tianyi thought for a while and said, "After all, they had not appeared a hundred years ago, so invading humans was only in recent decades. Maybe things were not as serious as you imagined."
"Um."
"Also, I'll give me some money tomorrow and I'll make a few doses of potions. I didn't want to use your money, but now my money can no longer be used, and the situation is urgent, so I'm not pedantic."
"My money belongs to Master. I will take out all my savings tomorrow!" After hearing that Tianyi needed his help, Chi Qingtian was surprisingly happy. This was the first time since he met Master, he felt that he seemed to be useful.
"Let's do it now. I'll go practice all night and see you tomorrow morning." Tianyi disappeared in the air again while speaking, leaving no trace of his journey.
Seeing his master leave, Chi Qingtian walked out of the hall and frowned deeply at the clear night sky - he knew that there was a big change in the mainland.
The next morning.
"Master, this is all the money I can get, a total of 170,000 gold coins." Chi Qingtian took out several gold coins that were common in the mainland to exchange for magic crystal cards.
"Well, thank you, I will pay it back to you when I have money." After taking the magic crystal card, Tianyi waved his hand, "Stop talking, I know what you want to say. I will definitely pay back the money, but now the matter is urgent, so I won't talk to you more. Pay attention to your safety, I'll leave first."
Before he finished speaking, Tianyi disappeared from the spot. Looking at the familiar air fluctuations, Chi Qingtian, who was familiar with the master's temper, had to sigh heavily.
Walking on the streets of Gulun City, Tianyi silently felt the breath of the crowd around him, but did not feel the strange fluctuations that were similar to those of the devil yesterday.
"It seems that the invasion of the Devil Legion is only in the early stage." Without integrating into life, it means that the current goals of the devils are still only at the top and lifeline of human beings, which is actually good news for Tianyi.
If he just invades the top leaders, after he recovers his strength, he can pull out the lurking things one by one. However, if he has invaded human life on a large scale, even if he has the strength to do so, he will not be able to make the situation come true.
Feeling that there was no strange aura in the crowd around him, Tianyi returned to a smile on his face.
Walking into a huge medicinal material store, Tianyi saw an old man who was fully focused on disposing of the medicine.
"Morca flowers, white crane vine, barracuda fruit, dwarf, white-backed poplar..." The old man muttered something and added medicinal powder to a portrayed magic circle, while constantly grabbing the subtle magic energy around him with both hands to balance the medicinal properties of each medicinal material.
final------------
With a "bang", his magic circle burst open, and various precious medicinal materials turned into a ball of black smoke, blackening his originally shining white beard.
"Fuck!" The old man's temper was surprisingly violent. After the drug preparation failed, he punched the table with both fists.
"Are you preparing young potions?" Tianyi couldn't help asking after seeing the entire process of his preparation.
"Huh?" Hearing someone talking, the old man raised his head in surprise, and then he discovered that Tianyi's existence was, but when he saw through his method of arranging was a young man in his twenties. He said in annoyedly: "What do I do to you? Buy what you want to buy? I'll be in a bad mood now and don't want to talk nonsense."
This old man has a bad temper like most pharmacists, which is related to their professional status, because few people who are used to being pampered have good tempers, while pharmacists can be said to be the noblest profession in the continent.
As a rare branch of a rare magician, the pharmacists have countless times higher control over trace amounts of magic elements than those of magicians. They usually do not have powerful magic power, but they extremely need extremely accurate control of magic and a profound understanding of magic circles.
Originally, there are very few people who can learn magic among humans, but they are rarer and more precious than magicians, and have a wider range of functions. Therefore, their strange tempers are never understood again and again.
"Forget it, I told you that your mugwort spending has increased. Since you don't want to listen, then forget it." Tian Yi didn't think of the old guy's attitude at all. He smiled and said, "This is a list of medicinal materials. You can grab one according to the ratio and weight above. If the price is reasonable."
"What, do you say there are too many mugwort flowers?" Without accepting the list, the old man looked full of suspicion.
"Yes, you should put 34 grams, but you put 45 grams, and you injected more fire elements into the magic circle, which detonated the medicinal properties in it, so..."
"Is that true? But how could you know the formula of youth potion? I bought this incomplete formula from the "spider web" for a lot of money. It is said that this is a formula that has been lost for thousands of years." The old man said with great emotion when he heard Tianyi's words, and couldn't help but become half-believing and half-doubted.
"Then it happens. I'll help you prepare a pair of youth potions. You give me one of the medicinal materials on my medicine list for free. How about it?" Tian Yi smiled slightly, and finally revealed his face as a profiteer.
"Give it all to you?" The old man looked up and down at the young man who looked kind, trying to read some "arrogance and ignorance" from his eyes, but staring at the pair of fiery red eyes for several seconds, he did not read any information from the other person's eyes. Most of his life experience seemed to have suddenly lost its due role at this moment.
"Grandpa, I'm going to school." Just as the atmosphere was awkward and silent, a familiar voice came out, and a young girl with a refreshing feeling came.
