"It really is third level," Yue Yuxia nodded, not very surprised.
She had already had that suspicion in mind!
But then she froze. "FOURTH GRADE?"
Instantly, she took a step back and looked at Yang Hu in terror.
Not only her. Li Yang, who was holding the box, immediately stumbled when he heard that, and the box almost flew out of his hands.
Fourth grade?
Doesn't that mean the Yang Hu in front of him is not only a Martial Master, but also a fourth grade alchemist?
Did he even still have a chance to become the driver of someone like that?
"Master Yang, are you really serious? This is a third level, fourth grade Blood Baptism Liquid?" Yue Yuxia asked in a trembling, low voice.
"Are you questioning Master Yang? Do you think he would come here to joke with you about something like this?" Li Yang immediately scolded her.
Although he was equally shocked, he felt even more excited.
If he could become a driver, no, not just a follower of Yang Hu, the benefits would be unimaginable.
Even though he did not attend a preparatory school, the fact that there was not a single fourth grade alchemist in the entire city of Luoyang was no secret.
Even the two third grade alchemists appeared on television from time to time.
The kind that even the city lord, a true Martial King, showed some respect to.
And now, the person in front of him, the one he had tried to scheme against at the beginning, was a fourth grade alchemist?
What was he thinking back then?
On the other side, after being scolded, Yue Yuxia did not say anything and only looked at Yang Hu, as if wanting to confirm it once more.
There was no helping it. This news was far too shocking.
Third level, fourth grade Blood Baptism Liquid.
Countless martial masters would go crazy trying to obtain such a resource.
But unfortunately for her, Yang Hu did not repeat himself and only raised his gaze.
Seeing this, Yue Yuxia panicked and quickly stepped forward. "I will immediately call someone to appraise the item."
She spoke and hurried off, as if in a rush.
But then she seemed to realize something, turned back, and quickly spoke again.
"Mast...Master Yang, what I said is not because I doubt you."
"It is just company protocol for any transaction."
Yue Yuxia's mind was racing at that moment, and she could not stop stammering.
She was just a nineteen year old rookie who had only just joined the company.
Now, she was standing before a figure who, aside from being a Martial Master, with a single wave of his hand, could make countless martial masters eager to please him.
No, even Grand Masters would want to curry favor with such a figure.
"All right," Yang Hu nodded and could not help letting out a light laugh.
This girl was really amusing.
…
On the top floor of the chamber of commerce, there was an old man and a young woman who looked to be around twenty years old.
It was an extremely spacious alchemy room, with far more options than the one Yang Hu had used before.
Xiong Chen, a third grade alchemist, was sitting atop the cauldron as he explained calmly.
Meanwhile, the young woman was sitting on the floor, a bit bored by what she was hearing.
"The foundation of alchemy can be divided into two parts: purification and refinement."
"Purification consists of using temperature, or other types of special ingredients, to eliminate most of the impurities contained in beast blood and natural treasures."
Xiong Chen took a deep breath before continuing.
"Unpurified treasures, if ingested, will not only fail to produce the desired effect, but may also cause the opposite effect, making cultivation regress, or even worse, leading to illness or death."
"Therefore, the profession of alchemist is highly respected."
Xiong Chen showed a proud expression.
"Refinement, on the other hand, uses numerous already purified natural treasures, combining them with others in a way that maximizes their effect."
"As for how to enhance them in the best way, each person must discover it on their own. But now that you are my disciple, I will naturally pass on my experiences to you in detail."
"Next, I will explain in detail how each catalyst, mineral oil, and every combination reaction works in the purification process."
Although he had received numerous benefits to accept Mu Rouxue as a disciple, he was a dedicated teacher.
He was willing to present everything from the very beginning to his disciples.
This was very rare, since at least the theoretical concepts were usually learned only through books.
Which was very different from hearing it from someone with practical experience.
However, Mu Rouxue was not happy at all. As the youngest daughter of the Mu family, one of the three great families, how could she lack access to basic theory?
"Master, I really do not need this theoretical course. Just teach me how to make pills already," Mu Rouxue quickly insisted.
"The most important thing in alchemy is the foundation," Xiong Chen immediately scolded her.
"You must not be impatient."
Realizing that he might have been too harsh on such a young girl, he continued.
"Even if you have learned it from books, I need to make sure you know everything. Besides, there are many functions that are not written in books."
"There really is no need, look," Mu Rouxue immediately stood up.
After looking at the table, she pointed at an item.
"This here is Ashen Oil, made from countless mutant plants, such as Marsh Pea, Moon Sunflower, and purple seeds."
"This is Coagulation Powder, which can cause impurities to clump together."
"And this here is the catalyst liquid."
Mu Rouxue began to explain in detail everything she knew about the function of each item, proudly.
When she finished, she thought it was finally time for the old man to teach real alchemy.
But what she did not notice was that Xiong Chen's face was growing darker and darker.
As dark as the bottom of a pot.
After a few minutes, when she finished explaining every item on the table, Mu Rouxue raised her head.
"Well? Am I right?"
It was as if her face said: Praise me.
