Chapter 529: Dark Ghost
When the pattern for the Law of Energy Purification had reached one-fifth completion, that burning sensation erged once more!
That lava-like temperature instantly set Xia Fei’s body afla!
Phantom’s dical concoction began taking effect, and the gentle dicine swiftly neutralized the heat!
“Such a powerful dicinal effect!” Xia Fei murmured in shock.
His body maintained the appropriate temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. It was like taking a bath in the spring sunlight, so comfortable that Xia Fei wanted to shout.
Focusing his mind, Xia Fei began charging at the first level of the Law of Energy Purification!
His body no longer felt like it was burning, but the energy threads in his brain region were still difficult to control. They seed to be rejecting him, refusing to follow his orders.
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and patiently tried again and again to control them.
...
As Xia Fei was trying to beco an Energy Master, sothing that he could have never expected was quietly taking place.
A middle-aged man of forty-so years left Plentiful Peace Hall, with a slight panic on his face. This was because he had stored the brain region healing dicine that Xia Fei had mixed in his spatial ring.
As Law Adepts pursued power, they also accepted enormous risk. Excessive cultivation would damage their brains, with light injuries resulting in a massive drop in level, while serious injuries would take their lives.
For this reason, the brain-healing dicines mixed by Apothecaries beca necessary and precious dicines that could easily fetch a price in the hundreds of Origin Crystals, allowing Apothecaries to reap a rich profit.
Even though they were expensive, Law Adepts still had to buy them, regardless of the costs. After all, the cost in money was nothing compared to damage to the brain.
In short, while brain-healing dicine was sothing very trivial to Xia Fei, it was extrely precious in the Law Realm.
What was the middle-aged man going to do with the dicine he had stolen?
After making several turns, he arrived at a rather extravagant residence. In the many cities of the Yu family, there were few residences like this one, and having one was a sign of illustrious status. This middle-aged man pushed open the door and went into the living room.
“Guhe, for what reason have you co to find ?” Another middle-aged man smiled as he walked into the living room.
Yu Guhe waved his hand, indicating that the man should close the door.
“Acting all mysterious, what are you trying to sell?”
“Brother Qinghe, this is a precious treasure for you!” said Yu Guhe proudly, though he kept his voice low and spoke in a mysterious tone.
Yu Qinghe and Yu Guhe were cousins, and they were famous local tyrants of the Yu Family.
Wherever people were, an underworld would exist. This Family had more than one million people, so there were naturally so involved in cri. The two brothers made a living off of selling banned drugs. Whether they were psychedelics or banned hormones used by Adepts, these two would be involved, and they were rather wealthy in the Family.
Relying on their uncle, who was a ranking elder in the Elder Court, Yu Qinghe and Yu Guhe prospered and were quite domineering.
“Do you know about dicines that can heal the brain?” Yu Guhe whispered.
Yu Qinghe was startled. “Who doesn’t know about such a thing? Hurry and talk! What are you on about?”
Yu Guhe smiled and recounted what had happened this morning at Plentiful Peace Hall.
Yu Qinghe sighed. “There’s sothing like that? A naless little soldier compelled Yu Youdu to death?”
“He’s not exactly naless. Xia Fei has so reputation in our family. Apparently, he killed a Demon Chrysalis all by himself, and his brain region is 100% open. He’s a rather promising seedling.
“It’s just that this kid is too incautious. When mixing this brain-healing dicine, he didn’t add in a blocker.”
Yu Qinghe asked in shock, “He didn’t add a blocker? Does he not know that if he doesn’t add a blocker, he’s essentially exposed the prescription, and others can just copy the process and make imitations. Isn’t this just a little too dumb?”
The Apothecaries always kept their recipes under wraps. Normally, in these circumstances, an Apothecary would add in a neutralizer to prevent others from obtaining the recipe to their dicines by analyzing the ingredients. This was normally called a blocker.
Xia Fei had not added a blocker in his dicine, aning that anyone could analyze the contents of the dicine for its composition!
“Did you manage to get that brain-healing dicine without a blocker?” Yu Qinghe nervously asked.
An outstanding recipe ant business opportunity which translated to money!
As people frequently worked with hormones, Yu Qinghe and Yu Guhe were familiar with this line of business. If they could grasp the recipe to a brain-healing dicine, they would be able to make loads of money!
Yu Guhe smiled as he removed a glass bottle from his bosom and wagged it in front of Yu Qinghe. He smugly said, “This is the brain-healing liquid without a blocker. I was just in ti for the show when I went to Plentiful Peace Hall to get so goods today, so I managed to steal it.”
On the surface, Plentiful Peace Hall was a pharmacy, but in reality, it was doing so illicit things in the shadows. After all, Apothecaries did not make that much in the Law Realm, so there were plenty of them who made their money through other ans.
The Yu family regulated banned drugs very strictly, and not even drug pushers like Yu Qinghe and Yu Guhe were bold enough to import banned drugs through the spatial gate. Thus, they stashed their goods in the middle of Yu Youdu’s products. Today, as usual, Yu Guhe had gone over to get the goods, just in ti to see Xia Fei and Yu Youdu competing against each other. His sharp intuition and his modicum of pharmacology knowledge allowed Yu Guhe to spot a business opportunity, so he had stolen the bottle and ca back with it.
“There’s no ti to lose. Let’s imdiately go and find Dark Ghost. If this bottle of dicine is the real deal, we’ll be rich!” Yu Qinghe sternly said.
Dark Ghost was an illustrious Apothecary of the Law Realm, but his fa was not in his exquisite grasp of pharmacology. Rather, it was because he created hormones!
There were countless Adepts who died every year after taking too many hormones, and Dark Ghost was the one who gave them that push. Many Law Adepts had taken it upon themselves to eliminate this scum, but alas, Dark Ghost was too vigilant. He never stayed in any one place for too long, so no one had ever been able to catch him.
Yu Guhe and Yu Qinghe got their goods from Dark Ghost, so they had worked with him before.
Yu Guhe frowned. “Dark Ghost has a strange temperant, and he is actually Yu Youdu’s lover. If he learned that his love had been killed by Xia Fei, he might charge into the Yu family out of anger.”
Yu Qinghe patted him on the shoulder and casually said, “What’s the point in worrying about that? Xia Fei’s life has got nothing to do with us. We just need to have him analyze the dicine and start making money. He can do whatever he wants after that!”
Yu Guhe slapped his thigh. “That makes sense. A man will die for riches like a bird will die for food! As long as we have the brain-healing dicine recipe, at worst, we can just leave the Yu family. Brain-healing dicine is profitable no matter where we go. It’s decided then!”
...
A shabby and old-fashioned transport barge floated in space. The warship belonging to Yu Qinghe and Yu Guhe approached and quickly docked, and the two of them entered.
Whether it was the spatial gate or the Spatial Compass, they could carry passengers, but this would leave a trail. The two brothers had wandered randomly about before finally taking a ship here. If they directly used a compass, Dark Ghost would imdiately kill the two of them without even batting an eye.
A bald man led the Yu brothers into a breakroom. On the way here, they could see many bottles of unrefined ingredients, many of Dark Ghost’s subordinates working away at them. There was an acrid stench in the air.
The bald man opened a door and roughly pushed the Yu brothers inside. In the center was an old man, his bare upper body covered in tattoos. Even his forehead and face had tattoos.
This was the infamous Dark Ghost, a black Apothecary who specialized in the production of hormones.
Dark Ghost was seated cross-legged, and upon seeing the Yu brothers, he unhappily sat up straight and said, “Didn’t I already say not to find unless you had sothing for ? You could’ve just gone to Youdu.”
This love was sowhat blushworthy. Yu Youdu and Dark Ghost were both rather old, yet they were lovers. The thought of these two old n whispering sweet nothings into each other’s ears would truly be sothing else.
Yu Qinghe did not tell Dark Ghost about Yu Youdu’s death. He respectfully said, “Master Ghost, I have sothing to request of you.”
“What? Talk.”
Dark Ghost, who had a rather effeminate voice, was as savage and fierce as the rumors said. In truth, when together with Yu Youdu, he would often play the role of the bottom.
“I have here a bottle of brain-healing liquid without a blocker. We’d like you to see if it’s the real thing, and if it is real, can you extract the recipe?”
Dark Ghost chuckled. “Which Apothecary was it that carelessly forgot to add a blocker? Let take a look.”
Yu Qinghe removed that bottle of light yellow liquid from the spatial ring and said, “The person is called Xia Fei. He’s a newly promoted Law Warrior of the Yu Clan, not an Apothecary.”
“Not an Apothecary, but he can concoct a brain-healing dicine!” Dark Ghost exclaid. “Are you two pulling a fast one over on ?”
The Yu brothers smiled. “That is why we asked Master Ghost to take a look. We also doubt that this dicine is the real deal.”
Dark Ghost opened the bottle and sniffed it. “What a strange aroma! He used Crestmist Fruit and Small Net Red? Soone who dared concoct this is either a fool or madman! Soone even crazier than this old man? Interesting, interesting.”
The Yu brothers grimaced. “So you’re saying that it’s fake?”
Dark Ghost chuckled. “We would have to test it to know, but on these two sets of aroma alone, I can tell you that the one who made this is the maddest of madn! Even I wouldn’t dare to drink such a vicious dicine.
“How old is that Xia Fei whom you speak of?”
“Age?” Yu Guhe pursed his lips. “He’s apparently twenty-two this year.”
“What?!” Dark Ghost’s eyes beca extrely sharp and filled with surprise!
“Only twenty-two yet he dared to make such a crazy dicine? Regardless of what this dicine is, the liquid is full, the purity just right, and the color the proper shade. This is clearly the level of a master!”
Dark Ghost beca excited, and he led the Yu brothers out of the room. “I’d like to see what sort of dicine such a young Apothecary could make, and why he would use such intense ingredients!”
They went to a room in which a strange and intricate machine was placed. It cost tens of thousands of grade 3 Origin Crystals!
Dark Ghost took out a reagent tube and dripped a few drops from the bottle into it; after which, he placed the tube in the high-speed centrifuge.
Several minutes later, a line of text appeared on the screen.
“A mild and gentle dicinal effect! It’s really a brain-healing dicine!” Dark Ghost excitedly said.
“A restoration strength of seventeen! It actually has 0.0017 restoration strength!” Dark Ghost exclaid. “That kid’s a real genius! This dicine is comparable to high-level restoration dicines!”
The Yu brothers were over the moon with excitent. This was pure money!
Even a fool knew the value of high-level restoration dicines!
“Hurry and look at the recipe!” Yu Qinghe frantically said.
Dark Ghost nodded and activated the ingredient analysis system.
Plush!
No one expected what would happen next!
Smoke rose from this analysis machine worth tens of thousands of grade 3 Origin Crystals.
Destroyed!
