Chapter 2504: Chapter 2524: An alchemist can make a living anywhere!

"No one knows exactly how big or fierce the giant turtle is, since everyone who encountered it has died, and not even their Primordial Spirits have escaped."

Upon hearing the legend of the giant turtle, Lin Chen’s curiosity intensified, "If they all died, then how do they know it was the giant turtle?"

The middle-aged man said, "A long time ago, the giant turtle made an appearance. It showed up in the deepest parts of the Kutuo Sea, enormous in size. Some people wanted to hunt it down, but they never returned. Afterward, more and more Great Powers who couldn’t accept it tried to kill the beast, but those who went either couldn’t find the giant turtle and returned without achievement or disappeared from the human world, never to return."

"With so many deaths, no one dares to seek death by looking for it anymore. Over time, the existence of the giant turtle has become a legend, except for those who don’t believe in curses and seek adventure. Everyone chooses to stay away from that sea area."

Lin Chen uttered an "Oh," and smiled, "It seems I should stay far from this area."

The middle-aged man cautioned, "In the place of exile, the foremost premise is to stay alive. Only by living can you think about other things."

Lin Chen nodded, "How do we get in touch?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment, "It will take some time for me to gather information. If I have some, I will wait for you at the entrance of the restaurant. Oh, my name is Luo Binggang; you can just call me old Luo."

"All right!"

After chatting for a while, time almost ran out. Instead of waiting to be ejected from the restaurant by the Array Formation, he and Luo Binggang departed on their own initiative.

Luo Binggang left straight away, and Lin Chenxin mulled over things, changing his mind.

Although he could hide in the Linglong Tower, or enter the Qiqiao Hall to completely avoid the Spiritual Energy Tides, he would also lose many opportunities to find potential information.

Using the last two minutes, Lin Chen asked the guard at the entrance, "I heard there’s a large demand for medicinal pills on the island. I’m an alchemist; is there somewhere that can take me in?"

The guard replied casually, "The Wei Family Pharmacy ahead is recruiting alchemists; you can check it out. But if you’re just a beginner, with skill as superficial as that of a three-year-old, then don’t embarrass yourself."

"Thank you!"

Lin Chen thanked the guard politely and left the restaurant’s entrance, plunging into the dense curtain of Spiritual Energy Tides.

Pain instantly spread throughout his entire body again, and a golden Barrier momentarily protected Lin Chenxin from the Spiritual Energy Tides.

He followed the damp street forward and soon found the Wei Family Pharmacy.

The lights were just as bright and the crowd just as thick, bustling and lively.

Lin Chen approached the entrance and said respectfully to the guards within the Barrier, "I heard the pharmacy is hiring. I’m an alchemist, and I’d like to give it a try."

The guard looked Lin Chen up and down, "What level of alchemist are you?"

Lin Chen replied, "I can generally refine middle-grade elixirs, and I’m also capable of refining some high-grade ones."

Lin Chen did not fully reveal his alchemy strength, as doing so might unnecessarily attract trouble.

"Wait here."

The guard quickly returned, followed by an old man in a black robe with a shrewd demeanor, exuding the temperament of a shopkeeper.

"You want to apply for the position of alchemist at our Wei Family Pharmacy?"

Lin Chen nodded affirmatively, "Yes, as long as you’re willing to take me in, I’m willing to refine pills for you."

The old man casually asked, "Do you know how to refine the Qiyang Pill?"

A middle-grade medicinal pill, fairly standard in difficulty.

"I do."

"Taihe Powder?"

A middle-grade medicinal pill, more challenging.

"I do!"

A hint of joy appeared in the old man’s eyes as he continued to inquire, "Turtle Scale Pill?"

This was a high-grade elixir, average in difficulty among high-grade elixirs.

"I do!"

The old man’s face grew increasingly delighted, his eyes filled with anticipation, "How about the White Rainbow Pill?"

Seeing the old man’s reaction, Lin Chen knew the level of skill he had revealed already pleasantly surprised the other party. He feigned difficulty, "I can’t. After all, Pill Prescriptions for high-grade elixirs are hard to come by, and the refining costs are too high... "

"Come in!"

The old man didn’t waste words and invited Lin Chen inside the pharmacy’s Barrier, relieving him of the pressure.

"Follow me. If you can really refine the ones I asked about, then you can stay. If you’re just bragging, well..."

The old man did not say what would happen, but the implied threat was very clear.

"All right!"

Following the old man into the shop, Lin Chen was then taken directly to a spacious room behind it, with a Pill Furnace placed in the middle.

With a wave of his hand, the old man sent a handful of medicinal herbs flying out of his Spatial Ring and onto the nearby operating table.

"Show me your refining."

Without any nervousness, Lin Chen readily agreed and began to operate with ease.

The old man stood by with his hands clasped behind his back, watching Lin Chen’s every move with eyes as sharp as a hawk’s.

For Lin Chen, refining these middle-grade medicinal pills was as easy as reaching into a bag.

When the finished pills fell into the Silver Plate, shining with an enticing fragrance, the old man’s eyes could not hide his delight.

Good heavens!

Such a high Pill success rate and the quality is so good. This kid is an expert!
