âChairman David Jones, this is the Moisture Pill you entrusted me to concoct, please inspect it!â
Dressed in a low-cut top, Jade Bailey respectfully bowed, offering up a tray full of jade bottles, seemingly oblivious to her accidental revealing of more than intended.
âSo big, so white!â David Jonesâs movements slightly stalled.
He was wearing a silk blindfold, indeed, but that was simply to prevent the use of his Spirit Eye powers, not because he was unable to open his eyes or was completely blind.
David Jones, looking at the expanse of white before him, wasnât sure whether Jade Bailey had done it on purpose or by accident.
Abiding by the principle that one should not forage too close to home, David Jones decided to pretend as if he hadnât seen anything and casually accepted the elixir.
âYouâve worked hard.â
For his capable subordinates, David Jones was never stingy with encouragement.
With this batch of Moisture Pills, the growth rate of the Seven Rites Bodhi Tree could also be accelerated significantly.
What a pity that the Boundless Thunder Flame couldnât be used to strengthen mesona and Dragon Crystal!
At this thought, David Jones casually reached into the Star Ring and took out a copy of âPurple Mist Herbal Scriptureâ.
Indeed, this tome was an elixir scripture compiled by David Jones, combining medical teachings from the Umbral path, which he could teach without needing his teacherâs permissionâas a reward for Jade Baileyâs hard work in concocting elixirs over this period.
âStudy well, with your current talent and effort, being a Master Pharmacist is just the beginning.â David Jones patted Jade Baileyâs shoulder, seamlessly imparting inspirational encouragement without the need for a teacher.
Jadeâs eyes widened, and she hesitated to take it.
After all, this was a nameless elixir scripture that she had compiled by herself; it was normal for her to not understand its specific value.
Considering this, David Jones took the initiative to explain, âThe Purple Mist Herbal Scripture contains a complete set of Class VI Alchemy techniques and seven new Class VI elixir formulas; if you can fully comprehend them, reaching the apex as a Flare VI Alchemist shouldnât be difficult.â
âThis⦠this is simply too precious!â Jade trembled slightly.
Casually writing an elixir scripture as advanced as Class VI, Chairman David Jones must now be a Class VII Alchemist, a Grandmaster Pharmacist capable of commanding Epic experts!
Thinking of this possibility, Jadeâs heart began to race faster.
If it were anyone else, she would never entertain such an absurd thought.
Itâs not just about ancestral graves smoking green; even if they exploded, the Pharmacy realm would not see a Grandmaster Pharmacist in their twenties, but the chairman was different.
Under the titles of millennium prodigy and unparalleled in both beast taming and elixir concocting, it was possible for the chairman to break through to Class VII Epic at the age of twenty, so maybe he could become a Grandmaster Pharmacist at the same age.
David Jones didnât know what Jade Bailey was wildly imagining; all he knew was that upon offering an elixir scripture, the look she gave him became more and more reverential.
âItâs just an elixir scripture; I never take back what I give out,â David Jones waved his hand dismissively.
âBesides, Iâve been quite busy lately, and as the vice president of the Purple Haze Club, instructing members in alchemy is part of your duty, and you canât do it without the scripture.â
âThank you, Mr. Chairman!â Jade bowed respectfully once again.
âAnything else?â
Seeing that Jade had yet to leave, David Jones looked up and asked.
The next second, hesitation vanished from Jadeâs face as she sunk to her knees, causing David Jonesâs brows to gently furrow.
âSpeak plainly, thereâs no need for such formality.â
âChairman, I wish to serve as a maid by your side,â Jade courageously proclaimed.
Not a single Pharmacist didnât aspire to become a Great Grandmaster Pharmacist, or even the legendary Saint of Pharmacist.
But reality is harsh! With age, each Pharmacist comes to know the limits of their innate talent.
Without sufficient talent for concocting elixirs, let alone becoming a Grandmaster Pharmacist, even becoming a Senior Pharmacist is a delusion.
Jade Bailey was well aware that without the Chairman intervening to grant her a second chance at life, her own talent marrying into the trainer family and becoming a Master Pharmacist was the limit.
But in her bones, there was a stubbornness, an unwillingness to compromise and accept her fate.
Therefore, instead of joining the trainer family for a life where everything would be plain to see, she planned to rely on Dungeon exploration and hard work to make her way into the Rosewood Pharmacist Guild.
However, this latter adventure was too fragile; a single mishap was enough to knock her into the mire, trapping her in despairâs darkness.
âA maid?â David Jones was somewhat surprised.
A Master Pharmacist not taking the position of Vice-Chairman of the Purple Haze Club, but serving as a maid to someone?
David Jones found it difficult to understand Jade Baileyâs thinking.
What did it mean to be a Master Pharmacist?
As long as oneâs pharmacy was profound enough, they could totally run for Chairman of a Level III cityâs Pharmacist Guild and possess a status high above tens of thousands.
And if oneâs network, resources, and relations were strong enough, they could even become Vice-Chairman of a Level II cityâs Pharmacist Guild.
At that position, a Master Pharmacist could talk as equals with Epic warriors and become good friends with them.
If David Jones hadnât sensed that Jade Baileyâs psychic fluctuations were completely normal, he would have even suspected something was wrong with his capable right-hand manâs mind.
âWhy?â David Jones asked, âIf itâs all the same working for me, why do you want to be a maid?â
Undoubtedly, with her sinews cleansed and marrow purified by the Thousand-year Evergreen Stalactites, Jade Bailey, now free from chronic ailments, was an out-and-out great beauty.
Moreover, with the noble identity of a Master Pharmacist, there were hardly any men who would resist such temptation.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But David Jones did not need a maid to serve him at the moment; instead, he needed a toolman to handle affairs within the Guild, to gradually expand the Purple Haze Clubâs influence and fleece more members of their elixir souls.
Hearing this, Jade Bailey pursed her lips and looked directly at David Jones, her will resolute.
âItâs different, Purple Haze Club is a pharmacy power that you personally established, my lord, and I wish to always follow by your side.â
âOh, you mean to say that I would discard the Purple Haze Club anytime?â David Jones became interested.
Jade Bailey knew no answer to this question would be appropriate.
So she bowed her head, kneeled on one knee, and changed the subject, âI hope my lord will grant my wish.â
The status difference between a Senior Pharmacist and a Master Pharmacist was immense, totally not on the same level.
And rightfully so, after successfully breaking through to Flare VI Alchemist, Jade Bailey felt an additional confidence in her heart, which gave her the courage to speak her true thoughts to David Jones.
âNo malice, only pure gratitude and admiration!â
Seeing that Jade Bailey was recognized by Rainbow, David Jones hesitated for a moment before speaking, âI donât lack maids.â
Upon hearing this, a flash of disappointment passed through Jade Baileyâs eyes, and her whole beingâs essence, breath, and spirit instantly wilted, giving off an utterly disheartened air.
âBut if youâre willing to continue handling the work of the Purple Haze Club, I donât mind having an extra maid,â David Jonesâs tone changed as he spoke.
âI am willing!â Jade Baileyâs eyes immediately brightened, and she revived on the spot.
She knelt down with a clank, excitedly taking out a mysterious scroll exuding a dangerous aura from her Star Ring.
âA Level VII Death Contract?â David Jones was slightly startled.
Interesting, Jade Bailey had quite a few tricks up her sleeve.
Initially, the Death Contract she presented was only Level V, which at most could restrain warriors below Class VI (not including Class VI), but now she had produced a Level VII Death Contract capable of binding even Epic warriors.
Good grief, it seemed Jade Bailey was planning to tether herself thoroughly to this very tree of his!
