866. Inside Story (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Last time Mo Fei reached the forty-sixth one, and this time he made it to the forty-eighth one.
“So strange!” Mo Fei resumed his composure, and could not refrain from murmuring.
Xiao Chen walked to Mo Fei’s side and asked, “Oh? What’s so strange?”
Mo Fei exhaled a breath, “This stone tablet has great inspirations on me. After learning the content, I probably know that the five potions I refined last time, four of them are useless on the soul-killing potion. But there should be one that is supposed to have some effect more or less.”
Xiao Chen turned the eyes and said, “perhaps, that kind of potion doesn’t work so obviously, so that heavenly cla.s.s master didn’t feel it. Or maybe, he didn’t fit for this kind of potion. Or maybe, I heard that the poison attack would make one lose his head. So he should have felt it wrong.”
Mo Fei nodded, “I’d like to try it again.”
Xiao Chen nodded, “All right.”
“…”
“You mean Mo Fei went to the Stone Tablet Woods?” Wei Yanhe looked at Wei Pengfei.
Wei Pengfei nodded, “Yes.”
Wei Yanhe narrowed his eyes, “That guy is really tough!” He had recovered so quickly. Wei Yanhe had thought he would be depressed for a period of time after his failure.
Wei Pengfei looked at Wei Yanhe and said, “Grandpa, I heard the conversation between Mo Fei and Xiao Chen.”
Wei Yanhe raised his head and asked urgently, “What did they say?”
Wei Pengfei hesitated for a moment and then said, “Mo Fei said that he thought one potion he had developed should be effective. Hi is way too self-righteous, like he could work out anything only if he wants!”
Wei Yanhe took a deep breath, d.a.m.n it, if Mo Fei keeps growing, not only the young generation, even I would be stepped under his feet. Maybe us the old men would be his step stones.
“You can go.” Wei Yanhe looked gravely.
Wei Pengfei looked at Wei Yanhe’s appearance and backed out.
“…”
In the potion room, Wei Yanhe and others were gathering together.
“Look, everyone, what’s in this potion?” Wei Yanhe asked helplessly.
If the situation was not so bad, Wei Yanhe absolutely would never downgrade himself to slinkingly study Mo Fei’s potion. As a heavenly cla.s.s pharmacist, Wei Yanhe also had his own pride, but, in front of reality, Wei Yanhe could only drop it.
That heavenly cla.s.s master Wei family had bribed took all of the five potions Mo Fei worked out, but he secretly kept a drop of each of them.
Chu Changsheng helplessly said, “It’s too little, we can only a.n.a.lyze a few main ingredients, as for the auxiliary ingredients, we can’t tell.”
Tang Shunfeng exhaled a breath, took out a list and said, “this is the list of star herbs Mo Fei asked someone to purchase for him.”
Feng Tianhong bit his teeth, “Do we have to do so?”
Wei Yanhe narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you have a better solution?”
Feng Tianhong clenched his fists and then loosened them helplessly, “No.”
Wei Yanhe closed his eyes deeply and said, “I don’t want to go this far either, but now we have no choice.”
…
Mo Fei looked at Cheng Mobai, “You can’t find any star herbs?”
Cheng Mobai nodded, “No!” Recently, the pharmacists’ a.s.sociation, they were placing obstacles in the way, and the lock-up of those star herbs was even more severe.
Mo Fei gritted his teeth, gave a wry smile and said, “After all, they still don’t trust me!”
Cheng Mobai looked at Mo Fei, “My disciple, rest a.s.sured, although those who have no eyes don’t trust you, your s.h.i.+fu I am always on your side.”
Mo Fei looked at Cheng Mobai, smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Cheng Mobai patted Mo Fei on the shoulder, “Give me a little time, I will definitely get those star herbs for you!”
Mo Fei nodded, “OK.”
Mo Fei went into the laboratory, out of his wits, Xiao Chen looked at Mo Fei, “Are you OK?”
“Not enough star herbs.” Mo Fei said.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, gave a light sigh and then said, “Those heavenly cla.s.s masters say turkey to one and buzzard to another. Those old rats of the pharmacists’ a.s.sociation have failed so many times, they still provide them star herbs for free, while you only lost once, and they can’t take it already?”
Mo Fei exhaled a breath, “They still trust those old men a little more. Well, they have a profound foundation here. What can we do?” He is still too young, so they don’t trust him.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine, in fact, this thing is kind of weird.”
Mo Fei looked at him and asked, “Weird? Why?”
“The lockdown of the a.s.sociation for you is more severe, according to their explanation, in case the resources got wasted. But why do I feel that actually they are afraid of you even more now.” said Xiao Chen.
Mo Fei squinted, his eyes suddenly glistening.
“You mean that my potion is effective?” Asked Mo Fei.
Xiao Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, “Yeah, it’s possible.”
“That doesn’t make sense! My s.h.i.+fu said it had no effect. He wouldn’t cheat me.” Said Mo Fei.
Xiao Chen disapproved, “but, your s.h.i.+fu also heard it from others.”
Mo Fei stared at Xiao Chen and said, “You mean…”
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “The power of pharmacists’ a.s.sociation is too huge, anything is possible.”
Mo Fei, “…”
