2 Worthless Pill. (1/2)
”Da Zui, Da Yang! Come here and tell me, what's the best business to do in this town?” unexpected by the two personal servants of his, Zhang Wu Ji first question after coming out from his sudden seclusion is about where to make money?
”What happened to Third Young Master? Had the beating from Li's too much until he becomes nuts?” the two servants are puzzled with his changes, but after thinking for a while, they produced two different answers.
”I think that the best way to earn money is by selling pills. Young master, even our Zhang's apothecary only has Wound Mending Pill and Meridian Soothing Pill for sale, each of them cost 10 Gold Coins if they purchase them from our family shop.” Zhang Da Zui answered. But he received a scolding from Zhang Da Yang soon before he answered.
”Stupid! Do you know how much is the cost our family needs to bear to produce the ingredients to the Pill Master? We only earn half of them at the end of the day. Young master, I think selling treasures is the best business in our Li Jiang Town.”
”I saw one of the cultivator coming back with a cultivator treasure he calls [Black Iron Sword] when he sold them through the small auctioneer hall, it actually worth 500 Gold Coins! If our Young Master can explore the ruins to... Oh...” Zhang Da Yang almost completed his sentence before he becomes speechless.
If your Young Master is yet to be a cultivator, how can he explore the ruins that were filled with many strong beasts? When he thought about what he just said, he felt like he was twice dumber than Da Zui.
”Since only pill business is likely to earn the best profit, I will focus on the path to produce pills first. Anyway, that's what I have for now.” he hesitates, but chosen to focus in Pill Concoction for now in order to earn more money.
As he thinks back, during the previous four days within the Pill Making Room, he actually spends almost all of his time to upgrade. At first, he does that to the furniture inside of the room, before noticing that there was nothing special he can expect from them.
On and off, he repeated the same towards all furniture inside of the room. Before he went out of the room on the fourth day, he kept his final attempt at the Pill Cauldron, which he has the highest hope on it.
Basic Brass Pill Cauldron +1
Concoction Success Rate: 23%
Durability: 15/15
-
Basic Brass Pill Cauldron +2
Concoction Success Rate: 24%
Durability: 17/17
-
Basic Brass Pill Cauldron +3
Concoction Success Rate: 25%
Durability: 19/19
-
Basic Brass Pill Cauldron +4
Concoction Success Rate: 25%
Durability: 21/21
After four tries, the success rate finally reaches 25%, but it wasn't enough for him because the 25% rate means his production will be one success in every four tries. If this is what going to happen, what money can he earn?
Which is why, he took a complete rest, about ten minutes before he went out from the room to attempt for the +5 upgrade. And when the results came out, it shocks him.
Basic Brass Pill Cauldron +5
Concoction Success Rate: 30%
Durability: 25/25
Special: 50% of the chances to double the amount of pill concocted when using this cauldron
”What! 50% chances to double the amount of pill concocted? This means it was like a 100% bonus reward by concocting pills regularly.” Zhang Wu Ji jumped in happiness when he saw such an amazing ability appeared on the +5 Pill Cauldron.
”I have 100 gold coins in hand, so let us go to the botanist hall to purchase some good quality herbs before we continued.” Zhang Wu Ji decides to take the thing seriously. If he takes his own sweet time to delay things instead, It might end up as a useless approach.
”Chances only came to those who know how to take it. Victory loves preparation. If I want to do this, let's start it and not delay it further.” the servants take the lead as the trio went to the Botanist Hall.
Inside here, almost a hundred different plants and flowers with various medicinal properties are up for sale. As for those major in botanist profession, high-quality seeds are available for purchase as well.
But when he steps inside the hall, the reaction he received is out of ordinary. If one would describe, their services towards the others are like a servant towards their master, but towards Zhang Wu Ji, it was like the there is an unresolvable blood feud between the Botanist Hall and him.
”Why all of them looking at me like I kill their nine generations?” Zhang Wu Ji asked, but when his servants heard about his sentence, they were completely speechless!
”Third Young Master, it was a blessing that your memories are so bad and forgetful.” Da Yang speaks in his mind. But instead, Da Zui explains the reason for all these malicious intent.
”Young master, you... Previously disturb the young lady belonged to the Vice Hall Master's family... You incite arson against two of their greenhouses, causing the Botanist Hall to lost a considerable amount of resources... And... And... You bought the people from the underground society with money to incite trouble in their hall, and you're still standing at the spot when you did your deeds...” Da Zui explanation is so detailed that he misses nothing in his words.
”I was an asshole of this degree?” Zhang Wu Ji cannot believe the previous Wu Ji is such a bastard!
”Not only that... The street vendors we saw yesterday, you burn their stall one by one every day before you hired the carpenters to build them a new stall, those designs are all your choice...” Da Zui continued, where his words completely made Zhang Wu Ji speechless.
”No wonder the street look like crap!”
”No wonder they retreated like they saw the God of Misfortune when I touch the product they sell.”
”Zhang Wu Ji, you're a disgrace to the name Wu Ji!” the current Zhang Wu Ji is completely speechless against his good deeds done before he transmigrates into this body. In fact, he was the one to suffer the consequences because of his own trouble. [1]
”How do I salvage the situation now...” the current Zhang Wu Ji is completely speechless at this moment. He considered asking for forgiveness or act as nothing happened, but no matter how he chooses, it still will end with creating more misunderstanding.
”Who calls this bugger to actually disturb other people's young lady and even burn people's greenhouse! Two greenhouses on top of that!” Zhang Wu Ji almost curses and slap himself in the moment of anger.
”Da Yang, go and purchase some medicinal seed, and tell them this Third Young Master has repented. I will prove this with my action, and not words.” Zhang Wu Ji finished his sentence before he turned around and left.
But before he managed to do so, a young lady also in her fifteenth show up before him.
”You're... Tell me I'm not as bad luck as this!” he asked in a very polite way while praying to the god this lady isn't the person previous Zhang Wu Ji disturbed, but the luck says otherwise.
”PIAK!” a slap came from the left and ends from the right. On the face of this young master, a print of a palm with five distinct lines can be seen clearly on his fair skin.
”I've been wanted to do this for so long! How dare you grabbed my breast and pinch my XXX when you're at it!” her anger blows up to the highest temperature as she raised her leg to kick Zhang Wu Ji.
In retaliation, Zhang Wu Ji took his own leg up as well, trying to compete with her in raw strength, but when they clashed against each another, Zhang Wu Ji was thrown backward and destroyed another wooden counter not too far from where they engaged in a fight.
”What the hell! A kick from a lady made me thrown off like a blind arrow!” Zhang Wu Ji cursed in his heart. How would he know that between a trash Martial Body like his against a proper Martial Body like the lady, is between heaven and pig hole? [2]
”Young Master!” Da Zui quickly went to his master and support him to stand up, but no matter how it looks, Zhang Wu Ji is seriously injured in this exchange. As for Da Yang, he managed to purchase five seeds of two different plants and finished the 100 Gold Coins in a flash.
”Pass him a Wound Mending Pill before he left the Botanist Hall!” the young lady ordered the servant before she left.
Not wanting to left a bad impression from this situation, Zhang Wu Ji speaks.
”Keep back the Wound Mending Pill you have. I'm not that cheap to use those worthless pills you guys made,” he said that! Unknown to himself, such a word is actually more destructive than the immoral behavior he has shown towards the young lady!
He was literally looking for trouble with all the Pill Masters standing in the Botanist Hall at this moment!
Da Zui and Da Yang looked at their young master and was turned into a statue for not knowing what can they do at this moment. It won't be impossible for him to lost his life here at this moment, seeing what kind of words he just muttered from his mouth!
”What a strong word you got there. Can you show me what kind of magical pill if you dare to deem the Wound Mending Pill we have and created is worthless?” an angered Pill Master step forward to dare this youngster to uphold his words.
”Magical Pills? Peh!” [3]
”Da Zui, Da Yang, go back to our manor and bring me the Pill Cauldron! I will show these frog under the well what do my words mean!” he bellowed. Listening to his word, the two treated the word as [Go back and bring some support] as they left in a hurry.
