Chapter 314: A Bold Vision! A Radical Decision! Ally!
“What did you say?” The matted eyes of Qian Jin suddenly exuded boundless luster. “What did you say just now? You mean you have plenty of medicinal materials for healing bone injuries.”
Snay Rouse was startled by Qian Jin’s look, which turned from indifference to sheer interest all within a blink of the eye.
“It’s okay for us to compete.” Qian Jin smiled like a fox who unexpectedly discovered a nest of chickens. “You have full control over the medicinal materials in your lab, right? If you lose to me, I will take away all those materials. If you agree with this, we shall compete with each other right now.”
All? Snay Rouse glared at Qian Jin. “Does he know how many medicinal materials I have? How dare he covet them all? Oh shit, how could he defeat me?” he thought.
Cech Flet sighed and looked at his empty warrior dimension. Qian Jin’s warrior dimension was filled with the water extracted from the Ancient Desert Sea, thus the medicinal materials to be acquired would be placed into his.
“Okay. Let’s see how you can defeat me.” Snay Rouse kept heaving his chest as he inhaled and exhaled. He turned to Noan Leta, “Do you want to join in the fight?”
Noan Leta firmly clenched the ointment residues he got from Qian Jin with his palms and shook his head repeatedly.
“Coward.” Snay Rouse curled his lips. “How young this little one is…”
Noan Leta bit his lips hard as he shook his head again and put on an extremely adamant look. “Compete with Qian Jin? You must be joking. I’m not sure whether he is bragging about his abilities in dealing with bone injuries, but at least in respect of trauma healing, he was a real whiz. This ointment…this ointment…if he agrees to be my master, I’m willing to kneel down and kowtow at him without any hesitation.” He thought.
Little one? Qian Jin frowned. Undoubtedly, the pharmacists enjoyed a high degree of honor, but they had no grounding to behave so conceitedly. “I just looked after Duren, why on earth is he treating me like this?”
“Honorable Elder Honxuan.” Snay Rouse averted his attention, “I hope you can be our witness.”
“Me?” Pam Honxuan forced a smile, “I don’t think it’s appropriate. What about inviting the family leader?”
“The family leader? That will be great!”
Snay Rouse was filled with excitement. Generally, assisting elders like him didn’t meet with the family leader often, especially in the Pam Family. If he could display his abilities in pharmaceuticals to humiliate this young guy credited by the family leader, he would certainly win the favor of the family leader and be awarded more funds and resources.
“Then I will remain in my pharmacy waiting for the family leader to come”
Driven by his excitement, Snay Rouse walked much lighter and quicker than before. His face appeared to be a flower in full blossom due to his bouncing mood.
Swit Lei cast a venomous look at Snay Rouse. “If it was not for his appearance, I would have followed Qian Jin in learning the mystic pharmaceuticals theories.” He thought.
Pam Honxuan changed his look from the leaving Snay Rouse to Qian Jin and nodded his head unceasingly. “What is wrong with the Pam Family today? Why did the appearance of Qian Jin bring about such a huge change in these assisting elders? Standing by Qian Jin’s side, the two mystic pharmacists who used to fight with each other looked just like apprentices of a mystic pharmacy master in their early stages.”
Even the imperious pharmacist Noan Leta who used to look down at all other people had become a devoted follower of Qian Jin. The only exception was Snay Rouse, the pharmacist specialized in bone injuries, who still held his spirits high.
“What? Qian Jin is going to compete with Snay Rouse in pharmaceuticals? In the field of bone injuries?”
Pam Honzi suddenly rose up from his chair and looked at Pam Honxuan in great shock, wondering whether there was something wrong with his hearing. What? Qian Jin said he was an all-field pharmacist?
“Yes.”Pam Honxuan was also wearing a bizarre expression. “That is what I have seen. The three pharmacists react differently to Qian Jin’s behaviors.”
Pam Honxuan placed his hands behind his back and paced around the room. “What is this?” He had just finished his evaluation of Qian Jin and his young friends and reached a new conclusion. Did he have to start from new again?
The high-level pharmacists constituted a crucial resource contended by all families, in spite of the specific field he or she has specialized in.
All-field? And of high-level? Pam Honzi narrowed his eyebrows to the greatest extent once again. He hadn’t ever heard of such a whimsical pharmacist except in the stories chanted by the traveling poets. Did they really exist?
Among others, he was just an ordinary warrior in his teens and a friend to Duren Burg. Pam Honxuan released a long exhale, lamenting that it was desperately unbelievable. How come? But if he was dreaming, he should have already been scared awake.
Pam Honxuan furtively observed Pam Honzi’s expression and uttered a sigh. Having gone through all kinds of occasions, this family leader had developed a composed posture no matter what he came across. Even the appearance of the Demon King wouldn’t shock him much. Instead, he would pull out his sword and directly chop at the King. But today…he was definitely astonished by this little guy called Qian Jin.
“Good, good, good.” Pam Honzi slowly rose his head up and replaced the overcast look with a happy one. “It doesn’t matter whether Qian Jin is a real all-field pharmacist. At least, from my present contact with him, he won’t do anything he is not confident of. He should at least be a high-level pharmacist in three fields…”
“Skillful in three fields…” The muscles on the corner of Pam Honxuan’s eyes kept cramping uncontrollably. Everything might make sense if Qian Jin was an old hoary man, but he was now just a twenty-year-old boy. It was really hard to believe…
Pam Honzi turned back to look at Pam Honxuan and forced a bitter smile. “To tell the truth, I have the same feeling as you. I wondered whether I was dreaming when I first heard this piece of news. Don’t forget that he also excels in mystic pharmaceuticals, which stands on the opposite side of pharmaceuticals. Do you still remember the two maxims about mystic pharmaceuticals and pharmaceuticals?”
Pam Honxuan nodded and followed Pam Honzi to the outside. As mentioned by Pam Honzi, the two maxims had been in existence in the Zence Empire, the Barbarian Territories, and the Demon Empire for ages; everyone knew them.
[Those who learned pharmaceuticals will never ever understand mystic pharmaceuticals.]
[Those who major in mystic pharmaceuticals won’t comprehend pharmaceuticals for a lifetime.]
“What a special young man he is.”Pam Honzi crossed his hands behind his back and lamented. “It appears that this young man is sure to take off in the future. Equipped with so many skills, he is very likely to establish his own family force if he survives the human-demon battlefronts, the Qian Family, and the other enemies.”
Pam Honxuan stopped walking and looked at Pam Honzi with a blank face. “Establish his family? It was not easy to establish a family, and whether the founding of such family would promise a bright future remained…” He thought.”
“You needn’t doubt this. He is very likely to do well in this aspect. At least, I have complete confidence in him.” Pam Honzi turned back and looked at this blood brother of his who had seen a lot of the world. “Honxuan, you are adept at everything. You just lack the sixth sense and are sometimes not bold enough in judgment.”
Pam Honxuan fastened his steps to catch up with Pam Honzi while staring at the ground in silence. Instinct? A lot of people were said to possess a sixth sense. But more often than not, the reliance on intuition would lead to mistakes. Only by having gained enough confidence would a leader behave accurately with the so-called sixth sense.
“Qian Zhanxuan knows too little about Qian Jin and he is sure to regret this.” Pam Honzi smiled. “Now that we have gleaned so much information about Qian Jin, we ought to do the things we are obliged to do. We should no longer keep this trading relationship with him…”
“Stop trading?” Pam Honxuan looked at Pam Honzi in doubt. “Then what shall we do?”
Pam Honzi chuckled and said gently: “An ally. A partner.”
Ally? Partner? Pam Honxuan looked at Pam Honzi walking in front of him, wondering whether there was anything wrong with his hearing. Were the above words from the leader of the Pam Family, Pam Honzi? As someone who didn’t even think Qian Zhanxuan was on his level, why did he speak so highly of Qian Jin?
An ally, and a partner. That meant they would be of equal standing! Pam Honxuan looked at Pam Honzi in a stupefied manner, thinking to himself that his brother had treated Qian Jin as one of the ten bloodline family leaders. While in fact, this “family leader” hadn’t possessed influential forces quite yet.
“Both Qian Jin and Duren Burg are very promising.” Pam Honzi further fastened his steps. “Even if Duren Burg couldn’t become qualified enough to inherit the Pam Family, he can still serve as a grindstone for the other two people, won’t he?”
The other two people? A faint smile appeared on Pam Honxuan’s stupefied face. That was quite right. Apart from Duren Burg, there were another two young descendants of the Pam Family who had conjured nine shadows at the same time upon their awakening of bloodline power. Especially Pam Monshen, who was hailed as Phantom Reaper on the human-demon battlefronts, was thought by many elderly members of the Pam Family to be the next family leader.
Every Hydra Bloodline Warrior who was able to conjure nine shadows at the same time upon the bloodline power awakening ceremony would be credited with paramount glory and pride. Since Duren Burg wasn’t an acknowledged member of the Pam Family, he would very likely serve as the grindstone for Pam Monshen and Pam Moling.
Cooperate with them. Establish an alliance.” Pam Honzi strode forward. “We need Qian Jin for his potion on bloodline awakening. While he is also in need of us. Qian Zhanxuan won’t treat Qian Jin nice in the coming month. If Qian Jin dies, the potions that could activate bloodline power will disappear too, and the Pam Family won’t jump in power level. So in this way, let me be the backup for Qian Jin in his battle with the Qian Family.”
