Chapter 315: The So-called Lost Potion

Pam Honxuan nodded his head lightly, feeling great admiration toward this brother of his. As the family leader, he was always more thoughtful than other members. When everyone else was focusing on the internal relations, he had already started pondering the external factors.

Mystic potion for awakening? Pam Honxuan took a deep breath and put on a look full of expectation. He wondered whether this mystic potion for awakening the bloodline power of Hydra Warriors worked for those who had already activated the heavenly awakening. If so…

Pam Honxuan looked at his wet palms which hadn’t shed any sweat for long. Then he turned his look to Pam Honzi walking in the front. He and Pam Honzi had both awakened the heavenly bloodline power of Hydra Warriors; if they could break through the present realm of heavenly awakening, they would ascend to a level which hadn’t ever been reached by the Hydra Bloodline Warrior Family. A height that had been achieved only by the three ultimate bloodline warrior families of the Zence Empire.

Ultimate bloodline power awakening.

Never had a descendant of the Hydra Bloodline Family reached the ultimate bloodline awakening. If someone who was able to enter the ultimate bloodline power awakening appears at this moment…

Pam Honzi clenched his fists unconsciously as he had also realized that if a bloodline warrior who had reached the ultimate bloodline power awakening showed up at this moment, the ongoing war between the Zence Empire and the Demons would be advantageous for the side who possessed this ultimate bloodline power.

Winding through the tortuous yards, Pam Honzi smelled a pungent scent of medicine. Then he lifted his legs and stepped into the yard with a lintel of [bone] pending high above.

“My dear family leader, it’s my great honor to have you here.” The wrinkles on Sway Rouse’s face were largely flattened with the appearance of Pam Honzi. This was the best opportunity to demonstrate what he had accomplished during the past years in the Pam Family. If he successfully won the family leader’s favor, his research funds for the coming new year might be doubled.

Qian Jin nodded slightly at Pam Honzi and once again looked around the yard. The Hydra Bloodline Warrior Family lived up to its fame of being one of the ten top bloodline families in the Zence Empire since a terrible pharmacist in the bone field was appointed to be in charge of so many fine medicinal materials. What a waste it was.

Pam Honzi slowly walked to Sway Rouse and whispered to him, “Must you put on this competition?”

Feeling shocked, Sway Rouse looked to the doubtful-looking Pam Honzi whose expression heavily dampened his passion. He didn’t count the fact that this young person called Qian Jin had won such profound attention from the family leader. “Wanting to avoid embarrassment or potential injuries for this young man? Is he a son born out of wedlock of this family leader? Alas, I couldn’t bother to care so much. If I flinched at this moment, I would probably become a joke of the other assisting elders or the entire pharmacist circle.” He thought.

“Yes, honorable family leader.”Sway Rouse pulled a long face and looked up at Pam Honzi. “I have to do so. Otherwise, I’d rather quit serving as an assisting elder of the Pam Family.”

Pam Honzi wore a reluctant look and sighed softly. He thought to himself: “I’m afraid that the Pam Family will lose a pharmacist in the bone field once you lose to Qian Jin and feel too ashamed to go on working in our family.”

Qian Jin walked to the concocting table, played with concocting prop he felt most familiar with slightly and chuckled. “Shall we start?”

Pam Honzi waved his hands in the air, “Get started.”

Sway Rouse leaned across the door frame and didn’t feel like playing his part at all. He just stood there, watching Qian Jin in his hustle and bustle by the tableside with a frolicking smile as if they were playing a cat-and-mouse game and he was the cat

“What should I make?” Qian Jin paced around in the room and moved his fingers through the piles of medicinal material boxes. Every now and then he would utter a sigh at the potion Sway Rouse made.

These were all high-level medicinal materials. “Pity…what a pity…” Qian Jin kept shaking his head. If he himself was a pharmacy master, he would be able to reuse the potions.

What is a pharmacy master? Making Level 11 Potion was one aspect, while the other important skill lied in the ability to blend one kind of existing potion with another.

This was referred by Adams as the advanced mixing technique. As long as someone could mix two bottles of Level 1 Potions of different categories into a new type of potion, he would be acknowledged as a pharmacy master.

Pity…what a pity…Qian Jin couldn’t stop sighing. Uncle Adams held the opinion that he wasn’t qualified enough to start learning this technique and that he had to pass an examination first before he could become a real pharmacy master.

Noah Leta approached Sway Rouse and asked him in a low voice, “Why haven’t you started yet?”

Sway Rouse turned back, saw the cautious expression on Noah Leta’s face, and felt a little sad. Why had this pharmacist whom he developed a close relationship with the Pam Family turned into such a coward today? Where his glamor and pride had gone?

“Take care. “Noah Leta took out a jade bottle from his inner pocket. “This bottle is filled with the ointment he once used. It is a type of potion which has long been lost…a type of potion I am unable to create…”

The poised look of Sway Rouse was finally changed. He then adjusted his leaning posture. “Do you believe that he could make Level 10 Potions at such a young age? Do you still remember? When we were at his age, we were poor and childish apprentices who closely followed our masters”

Noah Leta was immersed in his memory. Apprentices…… Through years of efforts and perseverance, he had eventually evolved from a novice pharmacist, into a mid-tier pharmacist, and final into a comparatively authoritative high-level pharmacist in dealing with external injuries by now.

“How could he have become a high-level pharmacist at this age? All fields?” Sway Rouse uttered a sneer. “The potion in your hand might be acquired by him from others. Even if he proves to be a high-level pharmacist in the bone field, I will not be frightened by him.”

“Why?” Noah Leta looked at Sway Rouse with great curiosity. Though Sway Rouse was also a high-level pharmacist in bone field, he wasn’t as authoritative as Noah Leta throughout the country. How was he so sure that he would defeat Qian Jin? What if Qian Jin accidentally possessed another bottle of Level 10 Potion for healing bone injuries……?

“Hum hum…” Sway Rouse sneered and took out a delicately carved red-jade medicine bottle from his inner pocket. “Look here.”

At the sight of the red-jade medicine bottle grasped in Sway Rouse’s hand, Noah Leta took a cold inhale. “This…this is the crimson jade medicine bottle? This kind of crimson jade to pharmacists was what the top warrior weapons were to warriors.

If placed in ordinary muddy or pottery wares, the effects of the potion would decrease as time went by. But if placed in high-level medicine bottles made of top quality jade or something alike, the effects of the potion would prolong for several decades.

Crimson jade? That was a special medicine container which could lift the quality of the potion. If loaded in the crimson jade containers for a comparatively long time, the efficacies of the potion would be lifted up by one level.

Even if placed in this special bottle for a short time, the medicinal effects would still be lifted correspondingly. Especially, the over-powering efficacies of the potion could be neutralized, thus making the potion have a softer effect and cause no pain to the ones who took them.

Noah Leta looked at the crimson jade medicine bottle in Sway Rouse’s hand. He had heard that Sway Rouse owned a crimson jade medicine bottle, yet he never took it seriously. But it turned out that the rumor was true.

“I got this by chance.” Sway Rouse wore a diametrically confident smile. “Years ago a warrior was severely hurt. In the beginning, I didn’t want to save him, until I found this crimson jade medicine bottle in his hand. Thus I agreed to connect his fractured bones at the expense of his bottle…”

Noah Leta couldn’t help swallowing his saliva at the sight of this crimson jade medicine bottle, feeling that Sway Rouse was really fortunate to have harvested such a fine container. If he placed his most proud work, the Bone-Stacking Potion into this bottle years ago, the medicinal effects must have been improved by leaps and bounds.

“You know why I’m so sure I will win?” Sway Rouse wore a mysterious smile and moved the crimson jade medicine bottle with his index and middle fingers. “This is because what is kept in this bottle is not Bone-Stacking Potion…”

Not the Bone-Stacking Potion? Noah Leta pulled out the wood lid, took several smells from the bottle hard, and slightly raised his eyebrows. It wasn’t the smell of Bone-Stacking Potion. Though he wasn’t proficient in bone field, he had been exposed to an environment filled with such potions for long that he could tell that it wasn’t Bone-Stacking Potion.

“This is…” Sway Rouse’s smile became even more confident, “Frozen Soil Potion.”

Frozen Soil Potion? Noah Leta early bounced upon hearing this. “What day is it today?” He thought. Earlier in this day, he saw the lost ointment for external injuries from Qian Jin and now he was shown the lost potion for healing bone injuries by Sway Rouse.

Five hundred years ago, the strongest bone potion among all Level 10 Bone Potions was not only helpful to cure bone injuries, but also played a crucial role in strengthening the bones for the elderly people. Thus it could be called a unique potion among all high-level bone potions.

However, as this type of potion had a high requirement on the medicinal materials and thus was difficult to be mass produced, the formula gradually got lost.

Noah Leta looked at Qian Jin busily selecting medicinal materials pitifully. The outcome of this game had been made clear from the very beginning. What Qian Jin faced was Frozen Soil Potion, the legendary strongest bone medicine from five hundred years ago. Given its heavy smell, it should have been in existence for more than one or two years. Had it turned into a Level 11 Potion?

This was a kind of potion can only be exclusively made by a pharmacy master.

No chances of winning…Noah Leta saw Qian Jin picking up one after another medicinal herb and felt desperately sympathetic toward him. “This young man has no odds to win as his opponent isn’t Sway Rouse, but a pharmacy master who might have already died.” He thought.

Sway Rouse tucked away his crimson jade medicine bottle into his pocket carefully yet proudly and looked up to Qian Jin just to find that the latter was proficiently using various. He realized that he had somewhat underestimated this young boy as this young boy actually possessed solid basic skills.
