Chapter 54: The Demeanor of an Expert

  One night without incident, and the next morning, Lin Chen and the people of the Pharmaceutical Association woke up. After resting for so long, their spirits had recovered somewhat, so everyone set off again, turning to head in the direction of the Imperial Capital. Because they were blocked in the canyon, everyone could only retreat back then. Now that there was no danger, they could turn around and head towards the Imperial Capital.

  Just a few hours after leaving, several people riding Griffin Lions came running towards them. It was the rescue team from the Alchemist Guild. Seeing the arrivals, Lin Chen secretly exclaimed in surprise: "Good guys, two King-level powerhouses and four Sky-level powerhouses! Only the Alchemist Guild is so wealthy and extravagant!"

  "Now that the Guild's rescue team has arrived, I'll take my leave. I still have a few criminals to escort," Eserin said as she bid farewell when the Alchemist Guild's rescue team arrived, with five King-level experts present, Elder Mocha's safety was guaranteed.

  "Never mind, I won't send you off," Mocha Elder smiled warmly. Although Iselin's appearance didn't help much, after all she came representing the Empire, representing the Empire's goodwill. Mocha Elder naturally had to treat her with courtesy, and besides, Iselin's identity was not simple either.

  Although it is said that pharmacists are superior to combatants, even the king must give them face, but after all, the pharmacist's guild is also a force of the empire. The king will give you face, but it doesn't mean he's afraid of you. Since the king sent Iselin over, this represents the king's intention, an intention to maintain good relations with the pharmacist's guild.

  Ysera left, Lin Chen and Xia Lu continued to rush towards the imperial capital. On the way, Lin Chen borrowed Mo Ka's elder's alchemy furnace for a try, but the perfect-grade alchemy furnace made Lin Chen frown secretly.

  Lin Chen also understood that in this world, even if a pharmacist's abilities reached the top, it didn't necessarily mean they could get a matching alchemy furnace. From Old Man Mocha's words, Lin Chen knew that apart from a small number of lucky people, most epic-level pharmacists were still using perfect-grade furnaces.

  Although it was a perfect level alchemy furnace, Lin Chen didn't think much of it. However, not wanting to reveal too much of his own strength, Lin Chen could only use the alchemy furnace as a disguise. Otherwise, wouldn't he have to openly display his skills and fail at even brewing medicine?

  Holding Mo Ka's elder's alchemy furnace, Lin Chen directly ignited the furnace to refine the medicine, putting the Tempering Bone Flower inside. Since Xia Lu already knew his identity as a perfect-level pharmacist, Lin Chen might as well help her refine the Tempering Bone Flower into a Tempering Body Pill.

  Seeing Lin Chen about to start refining the medicine, although he knew that Lin Chen's ability had already reached a perfect level, Mocha Elder was still very interested in watching from the side. Even several strong guards were curiously looking over, a young pharmacist, and seeing Mocha Elder's attitude towards Lin Chen, everyone wanted to see just how much ability Lin Chen really had.

  Tempered bone flowers were crushed and put in, then a small amount of clear water was poured in, along with some other auxiliary materials. Lin Chen directly ignited the flame, his skilled movements controlling the fire at will, which made Mocha's eyes light up. The efficacy of the medicine aside, at least Lin Chen's demeanor while refining the medicine, this skillful movement, it was clear that he was not simple...

  Although Lin Chen had been humble, he still underestimated his own abilities as a Supreme Alchemist.

  Although the refined pill under Lin Chen's control was only of perfect grade, however, the skilled movements he showed, the calm and unhurried demeanor during the refining process, made Moka Elder's heart and soul shake. At the same time, looking at Lin Chen's eyes also became more fervent...

  "This guy! Must be brought into the Pharmacists' Guild! Definitely!!!!", and there's no need to test the efficacy of the tempered body medicine, thought Mocha Elder with a firm mind.

  A pharmacist, ability is important, but Lin Chen's calm and composed demeanor, like a natural phenomenon, is what sets a master pharmacist apart. This is similar to being a top-notch expert - your skills are crucial, but the aura of a master is just as important, and it's not something that can be cultivated simply by increasing one's abilities.

  "Ah, a perfect-grade elixir has been successfully refined..." Lin Chen said with satisfaction, looking at the still somewhat impure elixir. He had intentionally done so, refining this batch of Body Tempering Elixir to only the lowest grade of perfect-grade.

  Originally, Lin Chen had intended to deliberately make the medicine slightly inferior in order to better conceal his abilities and appear as someone who barely possessed perfect-level pharmacist skills. However, when he saw Moka Elder's scorching gaze, his heart skipped a beat and he felt a sense of unease.

  "Can I take a look at the medicine?" Seeing Lin Chen's appearance, Mocha Elder also knew that it was impossible to ask him to join the guild rashly, so Mocha Elder suppressed the excitement in his heart and only asked.

  "Alright...", nodded Lin Chen, handing the refined medicine to Elder Mocha. Elder Mocha lowered his head to examine the medicine in his hand, and as an epic-level pharmacist, he naturally saw that this bottle of medicine was only a relatively inferior effect among the perfect ones.

  "En, the efficacy is slightly worse, but it's still barely perfect", nodded and said by Mocha Elder, then handed the medicine back to Lin Chen. Although the efficacy didn't surprise Mocha Elder, he wouldn't forget the demeanor of Lin Chen when refining the medicine just now.

  "A perfect-grade pharmacist? At such a young age?" Some of the guards around them, who had been puzzled by Mo Ka's attitude towards Lin Chen, suddenly realized and looked at Lin Chen with changed eyes. Even the five king-level powerhouses were the same.

  A perfect-level pharmacist, although not a big deal for the Pharmacist Guild, but what's most important is Lin Chen's age. At just around twenty years old, he has already reached the level of a perfect-level pharmacist. It can be imagined that if nothing unexpected happens, the day when Lin Chen becomes a legendary-level pharmacist and another elder of the Pharmacist Guild is not far away.

  "What a young and talented pharmacist! No wonder Elder Mocha has been looking at him with different eyes......" As they looked at Lin Chen, everyone's hearts were secretly thinking the same thing, and they also made up their minds to get closer to Lin Chen.

  This young pharmacist is a genius, if you don't take the opportunity to build a good relationship with him now, maybe when he grows up in the future and becomes someone, he won't care about you anymore.

  "Uh...", he had originally wanted to take this opportunity to refine his medicine a bit, so that Elder Mocha's attention towards him would decrease somewhat. However, seeing the clearly changed gazes of the people around him, and thinking back to Elder Mocha's scorching gaze just now, Lin Chen realized he was wrong - not only had he failed to lower Elder Mocha's attention towards him, but instead had made him even more infatuated with himself.

  "What's going on? This is almost the worst perfect-grade medicine, why did he react more severely? ", looking at the medicine that still had some impurities, and thinking of Mo Ka's gaze before he left, Lin Chen wondered secretly.

  He never thought that this time he attracted Mo Ka's attention was not his own medicine, but the natural and effortless demeanor he had when refining medicine...
