“Would you mind waiting here for a moment? I need to ask my superior about buying the elixir,” the pharmacy attendant put the jade bottle back on the table, his tone very respectful.
“No problem, but please make it quick.”
David Jones nodded slightly, then sat quietly in the chair to wait.
His wait didn’t last long. After a short while, an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a steady manner, walked into the Spring Hall. When David Jones saw the exquisite badge with two brilliant Big Suns on the old man’s chest, his gaze froze.
He hadn’t expected the owner of Spring Hall to also be a primary-level pharmacist.
“This is our pharmacy’s owner, Adrian Mayer,” the pharmacy attendant introduced.contemporary romance
Adrian Mayer’s eyes scrutinized the young man in front of him without any trace, causing a slight shock in his heart, his face remained indifferent, however.
Pharmacists are different from Trainers. Each pharmacist is a target for various factions to vie for, especially such a young pharmacist!
In a place as big as Waterland City, he had heard of every promising primary-level pharmacist. This made him speculate about David Jones’ identity.
“Boss, this is the Starfall Elixir that Mr. Jones wants to sell,” the pharmacy attendant handed the jade bottle on the table to Adrian Mayer.
Adrian Mayer opened the jade bottle, sniffing it lightly, then looked at the round and sanguine elixir within, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. Although the Starfall Elixir is a Class I S tier elixir, its difficulty is relatively high. Generally, only Class II alchemists can achieve a relatively high success rate in producing it.
Even if he wanted to produce twenty bottles, that is, two hundred Starfall Elixirs, the failure rate of up to half would be a bit overwhelming.
Taking into account the success rate, he would have to spend at least a month’s time to complete such a large number of elixirs. A typical Flare I alchemist would take at least half a year.
“These are Starfall Elixirs of average quality. Are you planning to sell them all, young friend?” Adrian Mayer asked after inspecting five jade bottles.
David Jones: “Yes, that’s right.”
Adrian Mayer pondered for a moment, then offered, “The market price for a single Starfall Elixir is one hundred thousand star coins. For your twenty bottles of Starfall Elixir, how does a lump sum of fourteen million star coins sound?”
A glint of joy flashed in David Jones’ eyes. With a purchase price reaching seventy thousand star coins for a single Starfall Elixir, this price exceeded his expectations.
“No problem.”
Adrian Mayer laughed, “Would it be convenient to exchange contact information? I can buy any elixir you want to sell in the future.”
“Alright.”
After completing the transaction, David Jones purchased hundreds of batches of medicinal materials required for the Starfall Elixir production in the pharmacy.
The fourteen million star coins he had just earned were instantly reduced by seven million. After that, he left the pharmacy hall.
“Teacher, isn’t our cost price for Starfall Elixirs sixty thousand star coins each?” The pharmacy attendant asked with some confusion.
Looking at the Elixir Authentication Certificate in his hand, a hint of surprise flashed in Adrian Mayer’s eyes. Frowning, he glanced at the attendant next to him.
“Even if we purchase at a price of seventy thousand star coins, we only earn a little less. It’s better to get on good terms with such a young pharmacist. Understand?”
“I understand!”
Meanwhile, looking at the QChat group chat, “Flowery Elixir Association” showing 999+ chat messages, David Jones thought for a while and inputted a few messages.
[Pharmacy Apprentice: Thank you for the explanation, Vine. I’ve successfully sold the Starfall Elixirs I made.]
[Vine: How much was the selling price? Any sale price below fifty thousand star coms is considered exploitative in nature, from pure black-hearted merchants.]
[Pharmacy Apprentice: Seventy thousand per pill.]
[Vine: That’s decent, at least you’re getting a return on your investment.] At this moment, in the distant Peony City, a girl dressed in a red dress looked at her phone, a faint smile appearing on her face.
Besides her daily alchemic activities, fishing in the chat and assisting newcomers in the Flowery Elixir Association was one of her few hobbies.
[Angelica: I worship the master. I failed all ten batches of Starfall Elixirs I tried making. I’m almost going bankrupt. Could any master help me figure out where I went wrong! …Click to view the picture.]
[Vine: I checked it out, the main issue lies in the elixir condensing aspect. I’ve uploaded a detailed explanation to the group file, you can download and check it out.]
[Angelica: Thank you, master!]
Seeing the situation, David Jones seized the opportunity to also download this file from the group chat.
[Whitelock: I recently produced a strange Class IV Star-Refining Elixir and need someone to test the concoction. The remuneration is negotiable, is anyone willing to participate?]
After Whitelock’s message was sent, the chat suddenly went silent.
[Whitelock: Anyone? Ideally, a pharmacist, but a Trainer would be acceptable as a last resort….]

Once he got home, David Jones began to concoct the Starfall Elixirs again.
Aside from the cost of concocting the medicine, solely selling the Starfall Elixirs had earned him around six million star coins. All it took was just half a month of time.
This method of cultivation that not only allowed one to practice but also earn money was also not surprising as to why David Jones was immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
The next day, January 17th, Tuesday, the weather was clear.
As David Jones was in the process of creating a Starfall Elixir, a booming sound suddenly exploded in his courtyard, followed by a strong tremor on the floor.
David Jones, his right hand closely attached to the Aurora Cauldron, couldn’t help but tremble. A muted sound came from inside the cauldron, indicating that the elixir that was about to be condensed had failed.
He shook his head, exhaled lightly, moved his Confusion, took out the dark red, unevenly surfaced failed attempt from inside the cauldron, and then quickly walked towards the courtyard.
At this moment, the bone-chilling white frost was spreading all over, and the originally flat ground in the courtyard suddenly sported a vast web-like crack linked to an enormous ice crystal pit. The length and width were about six meters, and under the sparse sunlight, it glowed with a cold shimmer.
Above this gigantic pit stood Rainbow, her face gleaming, and Daphne with a hint of envy in her eyes.
Looking down at the massive crevice in his courtyard, David Jones revealed a hint of delight on his face, “What’s this new skill?”
Rainbow raised her head, beaming proudly.
“Yii!”(*’ V ‘)/ (Frost Starfall!)
Upon hearing that, David Jones’ eyes brightened a bit.
[Skill]: Frost Starfall
[Level]: Class Vice skill
[Profile]: Conjure a large Frost Star to fall from the sky and strike the enemy, causing substantial damage and frost slowdown. Then, the Frost Star shatters, emitting a violent frost shockwave, freezing everything within range.
Having such a high-level skill spontaneously comprehended, Rainbow’s talent in learning skills was too powerful!
He was just wondering how long his fragile courtyard could hold up!
With that thought, David Jones turned to the gently smiling Lolo next to him,
“Help me fix the ground in the courtyard.”
“Chirp.”(o V )o (No problem.)
Lolo clapped her hands. After an earth-shaking moment, the original dark, bottomless pit was instantly filled with endlessly emerging sand and stone’s..
