Chapter 6: Guest Elder at Duobao Pavilion, Astonishing News About the Alchemist_1

The introduction of the Boiling Blood elixir certainly made a splash for the Five Blessings Hall.

At first, everyone had some doubts about the effects of the Boiling Blood elixir.

However, Wang Fu somehow managed to sell one, and by an odd twist of fate, a martial artist who consumed the elixir used its effects to counter-kill a stronger opponent with five levels of body tempering. After this, the Boiling Blood elixir was snapped up like hotcakes.

Despite Ye Fan's preparations, having already created dozens of backup Boiling Blood elixirs, it was still cleaned out.

Martial artists were scared, if other martial artists had it and I didn't.

If a conflict arose and the opponent took the Boiling Blood elixir and I didn't, wouldn't I be the one to die?

Many martial artists carried one with them, regardless of whether they would use it or not, that was unknown.

In just half a month's time, Ye Fan had already saved a hundred silver.

And given the current trend, it should be a long-term business.

It's time to start creating Bone Tempering Powder for the two boys.

Also, it's time to buy a house.

It's best to buy one in a bustling location, the current rented one is just barely livable, not good by any means.

A house, a hundred or so silver should be enough.

Add the cost of elixirs, there's still not enough money.

Must continue to work hard!

...

Just as Ye Fan was planning how to spend his money, several gangs had set their sights on Wang Fu.

It does not take a keen eye to see that the Boiling Blood elixir business was profitable.

Any profitable business, no one would not be envious.

However, everyone waited without taking any action, waiting for someone to make the first move.

Five days later, a gang entered the Five Blessings Hall.

The identity of this gang was unexpected, it was actually from the Duobao Pavilion.

Although Duobao Pavilion is just a shop, its status in Changhe Town is unique.

The Duobao Pavilion in Changhe Town is just a small branch of the Duobao Pavilion's headquarters.

Not just in the town, even the one in the county was a branch of the Duobao Pavilion.

It was rumored that the Duobao Pavilion's headquarters is a top force in the whole of Dayu, a genuine giant.

"Dr. Wang, we have come to meet the pharmacist who created the Boiling Blood elixir, is it convenient?"

"Of course it's convenient!"

Without any hesitation, Wang Fu offered up Ye Fan.

Duobao Pavilion was not something he, Wang Fu, could afford to provoke.

Soon, Wang Fu personally went to Ye Fan's house to find him.

Watching Wang Fu leave, Shopkeeper Li narrowed his eyes.

Being able to offer the body tempering powder for sale, Duobao Pavilion certainly had its own pharmacist.

The Boiling Blood elixir sold by Five Blessings Hall was also bought and researched by Duobao Pavilion.

After researching, Duobao Pavilion realized the value of Boiling Blood elixir.

Not that the materials for Boiling Blood elixir were that valuable, but it was the person who made the Boiling Blood elixir who was valuable.

Body tempering powder, which martial artists from Changhe Town found precious, only Shopkeeper Li knew that they were just semi-finished products.

What was truly valuable was the body tempering elixir.

Only a true alchemist could make a body tempering elixir.

Shopkeeper Li Qian inferred from the crafting technique of Boiling Blood elixir that its maker was already close to being an alchemist.

An alchemist, even in Duobao Pavilion, was enough to be an elder guest of a division, more valuable than his shopkeeper status.

Duobao Pavilion came to Five Blessings Hall, not looking for the recipe for Boiling Blood elixir, but for Ye Fan, who made it.

When he learned that the Duobao Pavilion was coming, Ye Fan took a deep breath.

What was supposed to come, had come, now, it was up to the result.

...

"Shopkeeper Li, this is our pharmacist from Five Blessings Hall, Ye Fan." Wang Fu introduced with a flattering smile.

"Nice to meet you, Ye Pharmacist. I am the shopkeeper of the Duobao Pavilion branch in Changhe Town."

Li Qian did not show any disdain, he was warm and friendly.

"Shopkeeper Li is too kind, I wonder what business you have with me?" Ye Fan returned the courtesy.

A glint flashed in Li Qian's eyes: "Pharmacist Ye, I want to ask, is this Boiling Blood elixir refined by you?"

When Li Qian asked this question, Ye Fan knew, a person with real insight had come.

Since he had chosen to produce the Boiling Blood elixir, Ye Fan already had a strategy in place.

Having someone who understood was actually a good thing.

"Naturally, it's me," Ye Fan replied.

Li Qian's eyes sparkled even brighter: "I wonder if Ye Pharmacist could demonstrate it once?"

"Hmm!"

Ye Fan nodded without refusing.

This should be the final consideration.

Soon, Ye Fan produced a Boiling Blood elixir in front of Li Qian.

"Good, Ye Pharmacist is indeed a genius." Li Qian clapped his hands, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked at Ye Fan.

"Does Ye Pharmacist have any intention of becoming a Guest Elder of our Duobao Pavilion branch?"

Guest Elder?

Ye Fan frowned: "What obligations does this Guest Elder have?"

Li Qian shook his head: "Becoming a Guest Elder of Duobao Pavilion merely signifies a partnership with us, not only can you enjoy an 80% discount when purchasing medicinal materials from Duobao Pavilion, but we would also buy back any medicine that you produce at a high price."

Even Ye Fan had to admit that Duobao Pavilion had a broad scope.

As it was a good thing, Ye Fan did not refuse anymore.

Furthermore, Ye Fan did not have the confidence to refuse.

Upon hearing Ye Fan's agreement, Li Qian's smile brightened.

For now, Ye Fan would not be worth the effort of Li Qian's strong recruitment.

What Li Qian was betting on was Ye Fan's future.

The future of a man who would become an Alchemist before he turned forty.

After chatting with Li Qian for a while, Ye Fan sent him away.

Before leaving, Li Qian handed a small booklet to Ye Fan and told him to look it over when he got back.

After sending Li Qian away, Ye Fan turned to Wang Fu.

Wang Fu was nervous, he didn't expect Ye Fan to suddenly become a Guest Elder at Duobao Pavilion.

This status was not something he, a simple doctor, could afford to provoke.

"Ye Pharmacist, that..."

Wang Fu wanted to say something else, but Ye Fan waved his hand to stop him from speaking any further.

From Li Qian's mouth, Ye Fan knew that Wang Fu had sold him out without hesitation.

If he could have hesitated for a moment, Ye Fan would not blame Wang Fu, as Duobao Pavilion was indeed not to be trifled with.

But since Wang Fu had done so, Ye Fan would no longer stay at the Five Blessings Hall.

"Doctor Wang, I appreciate your care during this half a year, let's part ways from now on."

Wang Fu felt upset hearing Ye Fan's words.

Without Ye Fan's powder prescriptions, the business of the Five Blessings Hall would definitely decline significantly.

"Ye Pharmacist, this matter is my fault, I can't say anything if you want to leave, but I wonder if you can keep selling the powder, I am willing to buy it back at a high price."

Keep selling? Ye Fan had not thought about this for the time being.

But instead of continuing to sell the powder for not much profit each month,

Why not just sell the prescription to Wang Fu for a large sum of money?!

Ye Fan likely wouldn't sell these two powders in the future, the profit is too low.

"Would Doctor Wang be interested in the prescriptions of the Hemostatic Powder and Detoxifying Powder?"

"What, you want to sell me the prescription?"

Wang Fu suddenly felt like a big pie had fallen on his head.

"I am willing, but I wonder at what price Ye Pharmacist intends to sell!"

"One thousand taels!" Ye Fan held up a finger.

"What, one thousand taels?" Wang Fu almost jumped up.

The annual profit of the Five Blessings Hall is less than one thousand taels.

"Do you want it or not, if not, then I can sell it myself." Ye Fan looked at Wang Fu, a smile appearing on his face.

'If you don't buy it, I'll sell it myself, and then I'll take over your business!'

Wang Fu knew that Ye Fan was unhappy with his actions.

Part of it was for buying the prescription, and the other part was to compensate Ye Fan.

"Buy!"

In the end, Wang Fu gritted his teeth and made a decision.
