Chapter 2184: Puko’s Bazaar (2)
The young pharmacist apprentice secretly bit his lip tightly under the ridicule of the alchemists, but the middle-aged dwarf standing next to him was still as calm as ever.
“Relax, there’s no need to argue with these pedantic dwarves. We just have to take these potions to the trading area as soon as possible.” The middle-aged dwarf had a good temper.
Perhaps it had to do with their profession, but almost all the pharmacists among the dwarves were milder than the average dwarves, and they rarely went as wild as the other dwarves, aside from the apprentices who had just come into contact with pharmaceutics.
“Teacher Hehe Li, aren’t you angry at all?” The young pharmacist apprentice looked at his pharmacist teacher in puzzlement. He had only joined the Pharmacist Guild for half a month, but he had been hearing mockeries like this almost every day.
Hehe Li shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, “Why are you angry? Kid, you must know: as a pharmacist, the first thing you need to learn is to be calm and void of stress. Being irritable will only leave you failing as you try to concocting a potion.”
“But… But they went too far. Every master spends days and nights researching new potions, but those stinky alchemists still have to laugh at us.” The young apprentice felt aggrieved. Only the pharmacist knew how hard the work of a pharmacist was. Without a real formula, the dwarves had to grope things for themselves, and without guidance, they had to go through too many failures. It might take tens of thousands of experiments to prepare a new potion, which was dull and cumbersome and could almost drive dwarves crazy.
“Kid, leave them be. Our king has given us such good conditions as pharmacists. Let’s not let the talk outside affect our mood and just focus on developing more potions as soon as possible. This is the responsibility of us pharmacists.” Hehe Li understood the indignation of his student. He was also like him when he first joined the Pharmacist Guild, but his teacher appeased him similarly in the past.
“I understand, Teacher Hehe Li.” The young apprentice humbly accepted Hehe Li’s words.
“Teacher Hehe Li, what is the bottle of potion that the president received before? Why did it alarm the masters of the entire guild?” The young apprentice couldn’t refrain from asking when he remembered what had happened not long ago in the Pharmacist Guild.
Not long ago, a member of the Pharmacist Guild had returned with an unknown bottle of potion.
The president of the Pharmacist Guild was completely shocked when he saw that bottle. In order to find out the composition of the potion, all the important pharmacists of the whole Pharmacist Guild went out to study it for several days, but to no avail.
Hehe Li frowned and looked up at the sky.
“Kid, that is a major breakthrough in our pharmaceutics. That bottle of potion has far exceeded the efficacy and purity of any potion we have ever seen before, and the president has said that the effect of that potion is also much better. It’s better than a hundred bottles of our potions put together.” There was a glimmer of yearning in the eyes of Hehe Li.
“It’s that awesome? But… Which pharmacist made it?” The young apprentice became more and more curious. Just what kind of powerful pharmacist was the dwarf who could make this potion?
