Chapter 232: Taking Action In Person

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ever since Lin Li had come to Anril, he had stirred up trouble numerous times, but there was not a single time that was as baffling as today. It was totally an undeserved accident. He was standing there perfectly fine and he did not offend or provoke anyone. Yet this fella charged over like a mad dog. F*ck, if I don’t vaccinate you for rabies, would you think I can be bullied?

“So queer...” Lin Li swore in a fit.

Just as he was about to return to the crowd, he saw Amman holding a bottle of potion. He anxiously poured it into Milo’s mouth while glaring at Lin Li. That expression and gaze was as if somebody stole his wife. Lin Li could not help but scratch his head, and thought to himself, How did I even offend you master and disciple?

“Milo, how are you?” Amman asked Milo with concerned face while carefully helping him up. After gulping down the potion, Milo’s complexion started getting better.

“Teacher Amman, it was him... It was him that ruined my potion!” It was as though Milo did not hear anything. His eyes stared straight at Lin Li and his voice had a tinge of sobbing in it.

“I know, I know... Be at ease, Milo. This time, Mentor will help you seek justice. This is the Pharmacists Guild. With President Balbo and Mr. Burnside as well as the respected pharmacists present, they will not watch you get bullied by somebody. It will be the same even if it is a disciple of a legendary-mage!”

“...” Lin Li was amused and annoyed after hearing it.

However, he thought about it and let it go. These two, master and disciple, are somewhat abnormal. Since they like to act as the victim, then I’ll just let them carry on since I will not lose a piece of flesh anyway.

Andoine, who was at the side, could not hold it in anymore. “Amman, what do you mean by that?”

“What do I mean? Master Andoine, you have a high virtue and a glorious name. I, Amman, have always respected that from the bottom of my heart, but today, I have to say something. Master Andoine, I really cannot agree with your judgment in selecting students.”

“Amman!” Andoine had lived for more than a hundred years. The thing that he was the most pleased with was that he had taught Lin Li magic. To him, this was the most brilliant thing he had ever done in his life. Amman questioning his judgment at this instance was like giving him a slap on the face. Andoine could not tolerate it anymore and raised his voice. “Just say whatever you have to say!”

“Master Andoine, I, Amman, am just an insignificant person compared to you, but with regards to choosing disciples, I have to remind you that some people are born to be unscrupulous. They will do anything just to beat competitors.”

“This...” Lin Li scratched his head before he finally understood what it meant. “Could it be that you are referring to me?”

“Who else can it be if it’s not you?” Amman looked at Lin Li and his eyes were filled with hatred. “You already knew that the Moonlight Grass was the most crucial step, and you also knew that Milo cannot be distracted at that point. Yet, you intentionally made some noise at that time. If it’s not because of you, why would Milo’s potion fail and why would he lose all logic and fight with you?”

“...” Lin Li thought it about it carefully before he remembered that when Connoris, that as*hole, was being a nuisance, he had heard a muffled sound. Could it be that muffled sound was made when Milo failed?

Thinking about the scene back then, Lin Li was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. These two, master and disciple, were so desperate because Lin Li made a sound at that time. To tell you the truth, if it was not because that as*hole Connoris was being mischievous, did you think that I would be so free to shout and wrangle that such a time?

Furthermore, even if I were to remain silent, do you think that your disciple would be able to concoct the Void Power Potion?

Why don’t you take a look at the timing? He was holding the Moonlight Grass and hesitating for so long. Do you think the temperament of the Sunflower was as good as mine? Even half a second would be hopeless, not to mention that you hesitated for so long. Once the flare flashed, it also meant that Sunflower’s heat had already been released. In that instance, it would immediately destroy the composition of the potion. At that point, it wouldn’t make a difference even if you put the whole moon in, much less Moonlight Grass.

“Forgive me for being so powerful...” After listening to Amman complaining with tears of blood, Lin Li instinctively rubbed his nose. This was the first time he realized that he was a villainous genius. Listen to that meticulous conspiracy and treacherous plan. If it was used to protect the world’s peace, Amman would have been filled with love long ago.

“Ok, now you can be complacent. Because of your distraction, Milo had thoroughly failed and was injured severely. Your aim to seek revenge has been accomplished. How can you still be dissatisfied?”

“Actually, Mage Amman, you’re also somebody of old age. Can you not be like a youngster and take everything for granted?” Looking at Amman’s sad and angered expression, Lin Li really could not tolerate it anymore. His words were not as restrained as before. “Do you really think that your precious disciple’s success was within arm’s reach? Stop joking, Mage Amman. I’m not afraid of telling you it honestly. When Milo was hesitating and holding on to the Moonlight Grass, he had already failed. What do you think the Void Power Potion is? A sculpture in the hands of a crystal sculptor that needs to wait for him to slowly think of where should he start and end?”

Amman sneered. “Of course you can say whatever you want now.”

“Felic...” Balbo could no longer sit back since the situation had reached this point. “Just now, you seemed to have said that the recipe’s name is Void Power Potion?”

“Yes, Void Power Potion.”

“How did you know?” Balbo frowned first before he immediately came around. Out of all the hundred or more pharmacists present, this kid was the first person to say its name. This was too crucial. To be able to say its name, he would have some knowledge of it at least. Thinking about this, Balbo’s eyes lit up. “Felic, do you know how this potion should be concocted?”

“I only know a little.” This time, Lin Li did not hide it anymore, since he also needed this chance to ask for that ring from Balbo. Additionally, he also needed to obtain the Leaf of the Origin Tree. This thing would be difficult to find after he left the Pharmacists Guild.

“Why don’t you try it?”

“Sure.” Lin Li nodded and walked up to the potion table under Amman’s gaze that was filled with hatred.

“Watch carefully, Mage Amman.” After lining up ten clean goblets, Lin Li shot a provoking glance at Amman while hastily arranging the herbs. Anyway, he had already offended Amman so much, so he was not afraid of offending Amman further.

“Relax, I will watch closely.” Amman gritted his teeth. To him, even if this mage were to die ten thousand times, it would not be able to compensate him for his losses. As long as Milo could concoct this potion, he would be able to befriend the Pharmacists Guild. With his pharmaceutical techniques and his plans, it was not impossible to obtain an important position within the Pharmacists Guild in the next tens of years.

Unfortunately, everything was ruined by this damned mage.

Pff, I really want to see how will you complete this recipe. You think that you can boast around just because you are a disciple of a legendary-mage. When you can’t concoct it, it would further prove that you are jealous of Milo. Once it reaches that point, let’s see how you are going to quibble. With so many pharmacists and important personnel as well as Balbo and Burnside watching, I don’t believe that Andoine would anger the masses just for you.

Amman was very clear on the contents of this recipe. Both master and disciple had spent almost ten years on it. Whatever could be researched was only superficial. Others might not know, but it was explicit to Amman—Milo’s attempt just now was the most successful one ever. The nine steps at the front were perfect up till the step where he had to add the Moonlight Grass.

Both master and disciple did not obtain any significant results after researching for ten years. How could this young mage called Felic complete it? Pharmaceutics was a domain that required time and experience. So what if he had seen this recipe before? Without ten or twenty years of hard work and attempts, he would not able to obtain the complex yet meticulous techniques. It was even more impossible for him to contain the infinite accidents during the concoction process.

“Just wait...” Thinking about this, Amman could not help but sneer.

But almost instantly, that sneer froze.

It was because he distinctively saw that young mage had already processed all of the different herbs and he was now mixing the Peacebloom’s sap with the Thousand Leaves Grass. The crucible was filled with smoke. The temperature he chose was actually the optimal temperature just before the sap boiled that Amman and Milo had found after researching with more than a thousand tries. This would guarantee that the medicinal attributes would not volatilize too quickly, and it would also prevent the different medicinal attributes from fusing too tightly from the beginning.

“Luck, this is just luck.” Amman bit his teeth and consoled himself.

Following Amman’s frozen smile, the pharmacists that were onlooking had simultaneously cast their gazes on Lin Li.

At the beginning, nobody cared about him.

It was because many of them still remembered that this young mage was the kid that was called out for not knowing the High Elves Print at the guild hall just now. At that point, the crowd looked at him condescendingly.

Yes, this kid also seemed to be Andoine’s disciple.

Just based on Andoine’s pharmaceutical level, how brilliant could his disciple be?

When the group of pharmacists looked over, most of them only thought of onlooking. This kid was too brazen today. He had made a pharmacist faint with a kick during this gathering that Balbo had organized personally. Was it hundreds of years ago when such a scene that was likened to a farce had been last seen?
