Chapter 593 - Medicament and Library

“If it’s only these… Alright!” Flock nodded his head. “The operation will start after a week. Remember to train your skills properly!”

He was quite clear on how a new Demon Hunter faced a high risk in these kinds of large operations, even if he were to be standing guard in the surrounding area. The newbie was basically cannon fodder.

Forcefully, the stars aligned, and Fang Yuan discovered a small secret. He had no choice but to follow the rules and forcefully go on with the mission. This was unfortunate.

“It’s been a long time since I saw such a rational youth, I hope that he can survive.”

The vice president waved his hands and said, “Bring him out and find Master Soma. Allow him to deal with his belongings first and give him the rights to enter the library on the way!”

“Understood!”

The lady led Fang Yuan out of the office before laughing lightly. “I’m Lisa! If you have any questions in the branch, feel free to find me!”

As she said that, she gave Fang Yuan a look with her seductive eyes, making herself appear intimidating and bold.

Fang Yuan understood the hint instantly.

After all, Demon Hunters lived a risky life and were very shallow in this aspect. One night stands or what-not were very much common.

At this time, Fang Yuan thought carefully and realized that Lisa’s looks were average, but she had a hot figure, especially her long legs that were very attractive.

“Of course!” Fang Yuan smiled and stuffed a note to her.

It has been proven by facts, that some things are common in western and eastern cultures.

After receiving the tip, Lisa was even more enthusiastic. She almost threw herself at Fan Yuan and even gave her room number to him.

“Master Soma is the best Pharmacist in the branch. There are many Demon Hunters that sought for his assistance to produce medicine, but his daily schedule is always full…”

After reaching an experimental lab, she had recovered to normal, except for her voice, which was still in a flirtatious state. “However, with Lord Flock’s instructions, your matter will be the priority!”

Pharmaceutics was a pretty high-level knowledge among Demon Hunters.

Just by only being able to produce treatment water, any pharmacist would be able to earn big bucks.

The only people that could be compared to them were the Forging Masters and the Alchemists.

“Lord Soma!” Arriving in front of the huge doors, Lisa shook the bell and used a sweet voice to say, “there’s an assignment, the vice president gave instructions to prioritize it first.”

Thump!

After a moment, a large sound or the sound of something exploding burst out from within the room. Thick smoke poured out.

Promptly, the head of an old man wearing a grey robe with oil stains, messy hair, and a pair of small gold glasses popped out, obviously in a bad mood. “D*rn it… the experiment failed again. Who are you? What business do you have?”

Looking at him, he didn’t hear what Lisa had said at all.

“Master Soma!”

It was also obvious that Lisa was clear about this master’s temperament, and she was still smiling, “This Demon Hunter brought over an ingredient, and the vice president gave instructions to entrust it to you so you can deal with it…”

“Alright, alright… You only know how to use the president to pressure me.” Master Soma muttered to himself before making way and said, “Come in!”

Fang Yuan stepped aside, into the room and looked around curiously.

There was a layer of thick glass in the middle, separating the whole lab into two.

The inner half was a large platform—different types of scales, test tubes, beakers, and unknown machines were placed there. It was as if the lab was one from the previous generations, only that there was a burned spot somewhere and was very disordered.

At the other side of the glass were lines of wooden racks. As if it was a small garden, there were various plants with strange and unusual forms, their roots spread out in a transparent fluid. It seems like there was no soil being used. In addition, there was a fist-sized stone hanging in the air that emitted rays of light that were similar to sunlight.

“Soil-free plantation, man-made sunlight… To think that the pharmacists in this world are so advanced in the cultivation aspect…” Fang Yuan was slightly surprised and thought about it.

“Why? Isn’t it unbelievable?”

Master Soma’s face flushed, and boasted, “You cannot find a cultivation room just like this one in the entire Hurin area. This ‘Day Halo Stone’ was dug up from the Demon Big Volcano by a group of elite Demon Hunters that I employed for a large fee.”

“It truly makes people gasp in wonder!” Fang Yuan nodded his head. “I’m very assured that Master can help me.”

“Hmm,” Soma gave a reserved smile and said, “what ingredient do you want me to deal with?”

“One vampire’s heart, I need it to make treatment water!” Fang Yuan took out the glass bottle and put it on the experiment stand.

To the vice president and this Pharmacist, it was merely a vampire’s heart; just an ingredient. Its value wasn’t something that would make them go against their principles. Hence, Fang Yuan wasn’t worried at all.

“Hmph… and I thought it was some difficult task? It’s only to refine it into treatment water…”

Master Soma coldly snorted and looked at Fang Yuan. “However, to be able to get the whole heart and keep it in a rather good condition must mean that the way you obtained the ingredient was decent. Rascal, do you know the rules?”

“Of course—if the refinement failed, you don’t have to take responsibility, and if it succeeded, I can choose to get monetary compensation or the medicament.” Fang Yuan nodded his head because it was the seller’s market, the pharmacist was very protective!

Using the same logic, those with high levels or those that were very proficient in alchemy and/or forging acted the same way.

“Hmm… Your vampire’s heart can produce three authentic portions of the treatment water… When I do it, there won’t be any chance for failure, but I also don’t want your money. Instead, I want one authentic portion of the treatment water as compensation.” Soma laid out his condition.

“So that’s how it is!” Fang Yuan nodded his head. “so I can I say that I’m able to get two authentic portions of the treatment water from you by handing over the heart?”

“You can also understand it this way!”

Fang Yuan thought about it and said, “No problem… but I have a small request!”

“Tell me about it!”

Soma was a little impatient.

“I’m interested in pharmaceutics, I wonder if I can be present to observe the production of the treatment water.”

Demon Hunters weren’t only about combat.

Making medicament, equipment, and even helping normal citizens slay demons were all part of the job and part of the power system.

Moreover, with his current state, he needed to explore other pathways to ensure that he was safe.

“You… want to learn pharmaceutics?”

Soma looked at Fang Yuan, opened his mouth widely, and burst out laughing. His beard fluttered as he looked like he was going to roll on the ground. “Demon Hunter… what do you think pharmaceutics is? A child’s game that can be learned by taking a glance?”

Although Pharmacists were related to Demon Hunters, a real Pharmacist ought to be nurtured from a young age, and wouldn’t participate in combat. Just based on the vast knowledge required, it was enough for him to learn it for the rest of his life.

Needless to say, some new formulas and results required umpteen experiments. Furthermore, a large number of ingredients were required to practice normally in order to increase their proficiency rate and success rate.

So as to say, it was basically a bottomless pit, a hole as vast as the sky!

Otherwise, successful Pharmacists wouldn’t be as precious and arrogant.

“When I’m refining medicament, I don’t like people around me. If you think that a mere vampire’s heart can convince me…” Master Soma raised his chin, pointing it to the door.

“Apologies… It was me who was rude!”

Looking at his attitude and the hint in Lisa’s eyes, Fang Yuan could only sigh in his heart and leave with her by his side.

“How can you do this?”

Once they were out of the door, Lisa began to complain, “Master Soma has a very high position in the branch and wouldn’t accept any disciples… If you provoke him, he wouldn’t give face—even to the president. When that happens, the only thing that you can do is cry.”

In her heart, she was also doubting what she saw.

Although this Demon Hunter named Hulk had a decent appearance, he was someone that didn’t know his own boundaries.

He was just a mere newbie Demon Hunter and wanted to become a pharmacist? If this was told to others, he would become a laughing stock.

“I only wanted to study the master’s skills…” Fang Yuan shrugged. “now… Aren’t you supposed to bring me to the library?”

“Come with me!” Lisa coldly snorted and left him as she coldly glanced back.

“Women… So troublesome, is she actually angry?”

Fang Yuan rubbed his chin.

If he wanted to have a romantic night, he should chase after her and give her sweet talk.

However, his attention right now was all focused on the precious collection in the library. He even thought of burning midnight oil here so as to not waste any time.

Hence, Lisa made a cold face and walked off angrily after helping him complete the necessary procedures.

“I really am an unromantic person!” Fang Yuan laughed at himself and promptly delved into the sea of books.

Despite it being a branch, the library, or rather, the information room that was built also had three levels.

Normal Demon Hunters could only wander around in the first level, to check the most basic information. However, Fang Yuan was able to go to the second level with Flock’s compensation.

As for the third level, only a few presidents and key individuals can enter, as it contained highly confidential books and books about various kinds of powers.

Based on the knowledge of the Hulk from before, he probably didn’t even read much of the foundation books from the first level.

On the bookshelves were thick books that were neatly arranged. Their covers were thick and even had gold engravings and buttons, which spoke volumes about the value that they had.

“Even in this era… Knowledge is also very precious. The literacy rate among common civilians must be a tragedy…”

Currently, there were a few people on the first level. Fang Yuan toured around the place and promptly opened a book “Illustrations of the Night Family Clan,” and began to check each of the species with interest.

“In actual fact, the library’s three levels are also categorized; the first is foundation; second about advancement; and third is about the real power inheritance, secrets that only a few can know of.”

After a while, he had an impression on the library , “Pharmacists and Forging Masters are only roughly mentioned in the profession introductions on the first level. There’s foundation knowledge on how to enter the two professions on the second level. However, the in-depth contents are all on the third floor!”
