Thinking of this, he called Ye Xingchen and instructed him to transport all the medicinal herbs from the Jiangzhou warehouse to the Fang Family.

Considering the shortage of hands and the absence of anyone knowledgeable in alchemy, Fang Yu then called Song Gusheng.

Upon receiving Fang Yu's call, Song Gusheng was inexplicably excited, and quickly said respectfully:

"Mr. Fang... what do you need, please just command?"

Fang Yu asked, "Do you have someone who understands alchemy? I need an assistant."

"There is an alchemist… it's just that he is a bit old and his grade is not high. Over the years, he has been running a Chinese medicinal herb shop in an old street of Jiangzhou, and he rarely practices alchemy... However, his knowledge and experience in alchemy are quite rich," Song Gusheng said.

"Hehe… it's the experience of failure that is rich, right?"

"Uh… Mr. Fang, you are joking again."

"What grade alchemist is he?"

"Second Grade," Song Gusheng said, "Although the grade is a bit low, the elixirs he makes can easily cure the common cold and fever in ordinary people. It's just that he is quite old and lacks the energy for alchemy; otherwise, he could afford a big house here in Jiangzhou."

This statement was very pragmatic.

Even if you are an alchemist and your elixirs are effective, you are only curing colds and fevers… No matter how skilled you are, it won't fetch a sky-high price!

If the price is high, people won't buy your elixirs.

So… being a Second Grade alchemist and elderly, indeed makes it a bit hard to get by.

Fang Yu frowned and said, "The grade is a bit low."

Song Gusheng awkwardly said, "Mr. Fang, are you planning to hire someone for alchemy? A Second Grade alchemist might not be able to help you much…"

"No, I will do the alchemy myself… I just need an assistant to sort out the medicinal herbs."

Hearing this, Song Gusheng was surprised and said, "I didn't know Mr. Fang, you are also an alchemist. May I know what grade alchemist Mr. Fang is?"

"The grade doesn't matter… The key is to produce good medicine," Fang Yu replied.

"Mr. Fang's words are very true… However, Mr. Fang is already an Eighth Grade Array Master, a Saint Rank Doctor, and also a Tyrant Heavenly Rank cultivator... Even if your alchemy grade is low, it won't matter much. Second Grade can also produce good medicine..."

"You are right, Second Grade can indeed produce good medicine… but I don't plan to make Second Grade elixirs, I plan to make Ninth Grade elixirs," Fang Yu said lightly.

…

The phone was dead silent.

After a long silence.

"Nin… Ninth Grade?"

Song Gusheng's voice trembled violently. He couldn't believe that Fang Yu was actually a Ninth Grade alchemist.

If so… then this person is really too frightening. Thus, he carefully confirmed on the phone,

"Yes, Ninth Grade… although your friend is old, at least he is a Second Grade alchemist, let him come over in the morning to help me sort the medicinal herbs… If he does well, I won't underpay him, I'll give him a Life-extending Pill."

Upon hearing this,

Song Gusheng was tremendously shaken.

"A Life-extending Pill?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"No… nothing… A Life-extending Pill, that seems to be Fifth Grade elixir… Are you, are you sure you want to give it?" Song Gusheng said.

"Nonsense… I mean what I say…"

"Alright, I'll contact him immediately! Mr. Fang… um…"

"Speak!"

"Could you also save one for me."

"Is that all? Come get it some other day… If I make too many, it'd be a waste to feed them to the pigs, giving one to you is also fine."

…

That statement was rather damaging to one's self-esteem.

An elixir that many people dream of, and he said he might feed it to the pigs.

What else can be said?

After hanging up the phone, Song Gusheng sent a message to his old friend, making him absolutely promise to go.

…

Near ten o'clock in the morning, the medicinal herbs were delivered to the Fang Family.

Ye Wenjun, Shangguan Linghui, and Xu Sisi all felt very puzzled and did not know what he was planning to do.

Fang Family's younger generation moved the medicinal herbs into the courtyard of the back house.

Because they didn't understand medicinal herbs, none dared to tamper...

"Fang Yu... Are you going to practice alchemy?" Ye Wenjun asked, standing beside the courtyard.

"Yes... I plan to refine some Ninth Grade Elixir Pills... to help you all enhance your strength," Fang Yu said casually.

"Ninth Grade?" Ye Wenjun did not understand the significance of the Ninth Grade.

However, Shangguan Linghui and Xu Sisi beside her were completely shocked.

"Sir is going to refine Ninth Grade Elixir Pills?" Xu Sisi asked.

"Yes..."

"It's rumored that Ninth Grade Elixir Pills possess Spiritual Wisdom and can provoke envy from heaven and earth. Eighth Grade can trigger Dan Thunder, Ninth Grade might even cause earthquakes... Sir, are you really a Ninth Grade Alchemist?" Xu Sisi asked in astonishment.

"Authentic as can be." Fang Yu stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the pile of boxes.

Xu Sisi shuddered, pondered for a long time, then finally spoke, "Sisters... we need to move... this place might not hold."

"Why?" asked Ye Wenjun.

"Ninth Grade Elixir Pills will definitely trigger the jealousy of heaven and earth... Mr. Fang is a Ninth Grade Alchemist, he won't be struck by lightning, but we will be!" Xu Sisi solemnly stated.

Yet...

This solemn statement, coming from her, why did it feel like there was an urge to laugh?

What does "won't be struck by lightning" mean?

Fang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What's the hurry? Have you forgotten? I'm not just an Alchemist, but also an Array Master... I set up a Five Layer Isolation Array and a Spirit Gathering Array early in the morning in this courtyard... Heaven and earth won't detect it. Don't worry..."

Hearing this.

Xu Sisi paused for a moment and showed an embarrassed look.

"Sisi got carried away... almost forgot that the Master is an Array Master..."

"It's alright."

Fang Yu stated lightly, "Soon, an assistant will come, I'll have him help sort out the medicinal herbs... just follow his lead. There are many types of medicinal herbs, and it's tough to teach immediately... Those rough men are clumsy, I don't trust them... I trust you girls the most in handling this."

These words secretly delighted the three women.

"Sisi will do her utmost."

"Hmm." Ye Wenjun just hummed.

"Linghui will also do her best."

...

Meanwhile.

Just a few hundred meters from Fang Family Courtyard.

An old man in his sixties, with an indifferent expression, walked along the road, muttering, "Old Song is really senile now... to even agree to this. If it wasn't for your status as a Heaven Rank Doctor, would I even come here?"

"Talking about Life-extending Pills... thinking they're so easy to refine? Offering them like giveaways, just like pyramid schemes! No... Old Song couldn't really have been deceived by a pyramid scheme organization, could he?"

"Old Lee is still by Old Song's side, it doesn't make sense... Well, since I'm already here... take things as they come, let me expose these fraudsters!"

"Nowadays, people, instead of working honestly, just know how to cheat! It's detestable! Daring to deceive up to my Second Grade Alchemist level, how absurd!"

During this conversation.

The senior man arrived at the front of Fang Family Courtyard.

The old man, usually managing a medicinal herb store, knew nothing about the changes in Fang Family.

Nor did he understand the status and significance the Fang Family represented; just seeing the impressive courtyard, he began to feel suspicious.

"Rich people deceiving the poor, despicable!"

The senior man stood at the door, his eyes radiant, and shouted, "Quickly pass the message, say Jiangzhou Medicine King Store's Jiang Shanshui has arrived!"

At the doorway, a disciple of the Fang Family glanced at him.

Promptly spoke respectfully: "Are you Medicine King Jiang Shanshui, the one invited by Elder Fang?"

"Nonsense, that's indeed me!" Jiang Shanshui declared proudly.

"Please come inside... Elder Fang said to bring you in immediately. You are our honored guest... they have been waiting for you in the back courtyard for a long time!"

"Ah, forming a group to deceive me? Lead the way, I want to see how long you can keep it up."

Jiang Shanshui was pondering in his heart, determined to teach these scammers a lesson. Once the cover is blown, he'll immediately inform Song Gusheng, and once Li Xuan arrives, they'll all have to kneel!
