Chapter 438 - Pharmaceutical Master

In the three days since Qin Feng had joined the Martial Artist Alliance, he had completed a level 3 and a level 4 mission, so he was familiar with the mechanisms of the Martial Artist Alliance.
A single member point could be converted into 1,000 yuan, so a bottle of Soul Cleansing Pills cost 200,000 yuan. Qin Feng had consumed the Soul Cleansing Pill before when Dongfang Ming Wang gave one to him the night that Hua Yan injured him.
Dongfang Ming Wang treasured Soul Cleansing Pills very much; Qin Feng did not. This was because Qin Feng knew that the effect of a Soul Cleansing Pill was weaker than an elementary-grade Golden Sore medicine which merely cost 100 Hedonist Points. As such, Qin Feng was really taken aback by the prices of medicine in the shop.
This is a black tavern!
“Only three Blood Qi pills for 500,000 yuan is exorbitant but it’s not enough to satisfy this shop’s gluttonous appetite?” Qin Feng studied the medicine and herbs while grumbling in a low voice, “ They even demanded 3,000 member points?! This is such a black tavern!”
Perhaps, 500,000 yuan was a small amount for a martial artist, but a martial artist had to complete tons of missions to get 3,000 mission points. Qin Feng was very familiar with the Blood Qi Pill as it was the only medicine that could save Ling Bei Bei from her coma. Qin Feng saw the Blood Qi Pill in the system a long time ago. It cost 1,000 Hedonist points, but the system prohibited Qin Feng from buying the Blood Qi Pill from the system unless he completed the mission of saving Ling Bei Bei by concocting the Blood Qi Pill himself.
For Qin Feng, 1,000 Hedonist Points was a small amount. The Blood Qi Pills purchased from the system came in a bottle of twelve pills while Saint Medic’s bottle was a great deal more expensive and only contained three. The contrast was too huge, so it was natural for Qin Feng to grumble about this black tavern.
“And the Primordial Spirit Pill. Holy moly, a whopping 1,000,000 yuan and 5,000 member points for only three tablets? Why doesn’t this shop go and rob on the streets instead?!”

Qin Feng felt very indignant when he saw the Primordial Spirit Pills. He used a Primordial Spirit Pill before when Little Pig asked him to purchase a bottle after he suffered terrible injuries from the battle at the Amethyst Dragon Palace. The system sold them for only 2,000 Hedonist Points, but Saint Medic’s price was astronomic by comparison, and Qin Feng did not know that how many missions he had to complete in order to have enough to buy a bottle of Primordial Spirit Pills.
Qin Feng grumbled louder and louder causing Liu Jie’s face to blanch in fear. He looked at Qin Feng as if he was an apparition and kept a huge distance from him as if he did not know him at all.
“What are you murmuring about, brat? Say everything in front of this mistress… Are you still a man?!” an irritated voice as sonorous as an oriole echoed.
As Qin Feng turned his head, he realized the woman dressed in the qipao who was playing on her cell phone had snuck up behind him. With his current strength, he had not noticed the woman lurking behind him for such a long time. The revelation stunned him. He wondered how strong she had to be to achieve such a feat.
“Am I a man or not, why don’t you have a try with me in the room? Qin Feng felt bad when somebody said he wasn’t a man. He was the first hedonist young master in Acropolis City, renowned as the man who could last for a whole night long.
He turned around and saw the physical appearance of the woman. Qin Feng was stunned.
The woman wearing the tight-fitting, fire-red qipao had a flawless, curvaceous figure.
Her qipao had two thigh-high slits between which her long graceful legs appeared every time she moved. Her breasts were smaller than Hua Yan and Yan Wu Shuang’s, but their shape was cleverly carved, and they were very pleasing to one’s eyes.
Seeing Qin Feng staring at the woman, Liu Jie’s heart pumped so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat. He was loyal to Qin Feng given that he still remained by Qin Feng’s side and did not escape.
There were two shops in the town of martial artist that one should never offend. One was the blacksmith. The other was the Saint Medic. The former forged various weapons and equipment for martial artists while the latter concocted various potions and pills for the martial artists.
Equipment and medicinal supplies were essential for martial artists so neither could be omitted.
As such, normally the shopkeepers had a devil-may-care attitude and ignored their customers because everyone had to curry favor with them as they were their only source of supply of the items they needed. However, not only had Qin Feng slander the Saint Medic in front of their shopkeeper, but he even teased with the woman dressed in fire red qipao. Liu Jie felt that his big brother had to have a death wish.
“Hmph! Repeat what you said. Let’s see how am I going to punish you!” the woman dressed in fire red qipao glared furiously at Qin Feng as her beautiful cosmos-like eyes were filled with coldness.
Liu Jie broke into a cold sweat and kept on signaling Qin Feng.
“Repeat what I said? I said, lady, that you have a well-defined face that has been sculpted to perfection, and your beauty would shut out the moon and put flowers to shame. I can tell from a single glance that you must be a princess descended from an aristocratic family. There is an essence of elegance and gentility dwelling in your style of speech, your movements, and every detail of your action,” Qin Feng behaved like a chameleon. He swiftly dropped his lascivious expression and changed into a serious and severe demeanor.
Plop!
Liu Jie’s knee went limp, and he fell to the floor. He exclaimed inwardly, My level of shamelessness will never match up to Professor Qin Feng.
The woman dressed in fire red qipao had been getting pumped up to fight Qin Feng. However, Qin Feng cut her short and praised her instead, causing her to blush in embarrassment. She lost track of her thought and did not know what to do.
“Hypocrite! Spineless! You’re all bark and no bite!” the woman’s eyes bulged as she stared at Qin Feng and chided him.
Qin Feng raised his brows and said with all the seriousness, “Beautiful, I suggested that we go into the room behind the shop so I can show you whether I am a man or not. You say I’m all bark and no bite? I dare you to go into the room with me now! Let’s compare notes in bed!”
“Hmph! What are you waiting for then? Let’s go now! Do you think that this young mistress is afraid of you? We’ll go to the bed and…” the woman dressed in red qipao cam to an abrupt halt as she felt something wasn’t right. Her face sank and she glowered, “You despicable outlaw! Why would we have to compare notes in bed?! This young mistress could destroy you here and now!”
The woman dressed in red qipao was Ren Xiao Yao. She shoved her palm at Qin Feng.
Gales of ferocious wind ravaged the shop. Qin Feng’s face changed drastically. He never expected the young woman in the medicine shop to be a Stage 6 inner qi master!
What a Martial Artist Town! Are all the residents here this powerful?!
“Don’t be so wired up, lady. I said your shop is a black tavern. You want to kill me so that I will not slander your shop anymore outside?” Qin Feng knew he could not possibly gain the upper hand against the woman, so he cast aside all considerations, folded his arms behind his back, and pretended to be a master who would not deign to initiate an attack.
“What is your basis for slandering Saint Medic by calling it a black tavern? Show me the proof, or else, I’ll kill you!” Ren Xiao Yao stopped her attack. Her snow-white palm was 5 cm away from Qin Feng’s chest, and if she went closer a bit, she would be able to feel Qin Feng’s vigorous heartbeat.
Saint Medic was highly regarded among the martial artists, and they would not pull rank on others because of their prestige. Also, Ren Xiao Yao wasn’t a hot-headed person. She was afraid that Qin Feng was sent by someone to ruin the reputation of Saint Medic, and if she attacked him, she would fall into their crafty plot.
Qin Feng opened his palm and a jade bottle appeared on his palm as if he performed magic.
Once Qin Feng opened the bottle, the dense fragrance of herbs filled the room tickling Ren Xiao Yao’s nostrils. Her clear as water eyes suddenly glowed brilliantly.
“What is this? How come the fragrance is so dense? Which pharmaceutical master made this? I’d hate to admit it, but his or her level is on par with some of Saint Medic’s pharmaceutical masters!”
Qin Feng was relieved when Ren Xiao Yao’s expression changed. He believed that he could subdue the woman with a bottle of elementary-grade Golden Sore Medicine.
“I cannot answer your question since it involves private information. However, I can tell you that this bottle of herbs is similar to the Soul Cleansing Pills. The only differences are that the effect is ten times stronger than the Soul Cleansing Pills, and the price is ten times cheaper!”
The amazement in Ren Xiao Yao intensified as Qin Feng spoke. She grabbed the jade bottle from Qin Feng and poured some of it into her palm. She sniffed it and then made a small wound on her wrist. Drips of crystal-clear blood flowed from the wound, but it did not hinder Ren Xiao Yao even in the slightest. She hastily applied the elementary-grade Golden Sore Medicine to her wound.
Surges of cold spread from the wound as the pain swiftly faded. At the same time, the wound healed quickly enough to be seen. Ren Xiao Yao was utterly dazed by the wonderful effect of Golden Sore Medicine that her cherry mouth gaped into a small ‘O’ shape. Her expression was cute which delighted Qin Feng.
“Impossible! You’re lying!” Suddenly, a dense chilly aura erupted from Ren Xiao Yao. She moved her hand, revealed a soft sword, and pointed it at Qin Feng.
“Speak now! Who sent you here to defame us? Since you have come, you might as well just spit up the name of your lord!”
“You, little girl, are really such a great fantasizer. Why don’t you write yourself a novel instead? How about the current trend: an imperial harem-based novel featuring a woman who has time traveled back to ancient times. I guess you will make a lot of fortune from that given that you have the potential to be a great writer,” Qin Feng ignored the soft sword in Ren Xiao Yao’s hand and withdrew the Golden Sore Medicine.
A flick of dismay crossed Ren Xiao Yao’s eyes after Qin Feng withdrew the Golden Sore Medicine. The effect of Golden Sore Medicine was so stunning, and the only thing that was comparable was the Miao Ling Panacea of Saint Medic. However, a single bottle of Miao Ling Panacea cost 500,000 yuan and 1,000 mission points, and what’s more, a bottle of it was only half the size of the Golden Sore Medicine.
After she compared the differences, Ren Xiao Yao felt that Qin Feng could not be blamed for slandering Saint Medic as a black tavern.
“How did you get your hands on this herb mixture? How much for one bottle?” Ren Xiao Yao persisted and shot a barrage of questions at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng knew that this lady was very tenacious. She would not let him slip away unless he gave her a satisfactory answer.
“This herb is mine. I concocted it myself!”
Ren Xiao Yao and Liu Jie was star struck at Qin Feng’s words.
“So this means that you’re a pharmaceutical master? Impossible…,” Ren Xiao Yao did not believe in Qin Feng, “How is that even possible for you to be a pharmaceutical master at your age? Moreover, your herb mixture could only be concocted by a Stage 2 pharmaceutical master.”
Not only did Ren Xiao Yao not believe Qin Feng, Liu Jie did not trust him either.
They knew exactly what a pharmaceutical master was. A pharmaceutical master was even rarer than a demon cultivator or a heretic. To become a pharmaceutical master, one first had to become a martial artist. Second, the person had to familiarize themselves with the pharmacological potency of every herb that grew on this earth, and third, they had to have acute and extra strong six senses.
Neither of these three criteria could be avoided on the road to becoming a pharmaceutical master.
Currently, the youngest elementary Stage 1 pharmaceutical master in China was a middle-aged elder around forty years old. The Stage 3 and above pharmaceutical masters were all sixty-year-old and above geezers…
