--- Chapter 6 ---
Making Foundation Building Medicine is more challenging than I expected.
Honestly, I underestimated Alchemy just because I have Sky Poison Pearl.
However, I didn't fail.
Challenging doesn't mean impossible.
Three months ago, when I bonded with Sky Poison Pearl, the system rewarded me with a True Talent Awakening Rune.
Upon breaking it, the True Talent Awakening Rune granted me "Eyes of Truth" that could see through illusion and see the information of others like your typical RPG's identify/appraisal.
Using this talent, I can see hidden information and properties of each herb, allowing me to mix them and create a potent medicine, whether for healing or even poison.
To create foundation-building medicine, I needed many herbs with strong "Yang" attributes to nourish the body. I also required stabilizing herbs with healing properties.
Fusing these two properties allowed the body to experience tempering and nourish meridian, allowing spirit energy to flow better.
Finally, it took me two weeks to develop a stable medicine.
He mixed more than one hundred and thirty-three herbs, half containing a strong fire poison, before refining them with the other half that could stabilize the poison.
This process is tedious and not worth trying, but he had a cheat-like Sky Poison Pearl that could refine herbs into medicinal pills without waste.
In fact, I did this on purpose.
I planned to sell foundation-building medicine.
So, even if someone tried to copy it and somehow got the correct recipe, they wouldn't be able to achieve the same result as my foundation-building medicine.
I'm looking at a dining table with hundreds of waxed gourd bottles. Each had 500 milliliters of foundation-building liquid, which one could separate into two doses and use with warm water for medicinal baths.
[Name: Foundation Building Liquid 2.7.7 version]
[Grade: D+]
[Effect: This Foundation Building Liquid can be diluted in warm water for medicine bath and used to enhance physique and spirit energy, efficient to those under the Spirit Grandmaster Realm ( "Well, this amount of doses is only useful for those under Spirit Grandmaster Level."
"But tripling the dose also allowed Spirit Grandmaster to experience the same effect until their bodies reached the standard of Soul Elder." I made this medicine for myself and my sister. Of course, I wanted them to be usable for a long time.
[Ding! You have completed your task]
[Rewarding the Owner with a Recipe for Foundation-Building Medicine from BTTH World]
"Oh?" I checked the reward and sighed at the marvel of BTTH World because even a low-tier medicine like Foundation-Building Medicine was so complex and comprehensive.
This recipe is ten times better than my recipe.
"People in the BTTH World really can cook, huh?"
"Well, let's try one..." I grabbed four bottles and boiled warm water.
After pouring one bottle, I dipped myself in a basin filled with warm medicinal liquid.
My body squirmed in delight as the "Yang (Warm) " medicinal property enhanced his physique. The healing property invigorated my veins, preventing the "Yang" property from going out of control.
My skin reddened like a steamed crayfish, but I felt no pain. Instead, I felt comfortably warm. Thirty minutes later, my body has fully absorbed the medicinal properties.
I sighed, "Just one bottle alone can improve the speed of my body's training by three times."
"Aih, I'm so good."
"Why am I so good?" I felt helpless.
Thankfully, no one sees me enjoying myself.
God, it would be so embarrassing.
I tapped my finger on the wooden basin's edge and mumbled, "The effect of the foundation-building liquid is passable. But I felt like there is a lot of room for improvement."
"I wonder if I can mix Whale Glue? The effect will be much better."
"Wait, I also needed to gather Whale Glue quickly! The people of this era don't know the worth of Whale Glue and only use them to get horny."
"Hanhai City is a coastal city, and Whale Glue is abundant there."
"Tsk, tsk, this gap of information. I must exploit it."
"But I need a capital fast..."
"What to do, what to do..."
"Ah, that's right!" I facepalmed. "The nobles are currently traveling in the nearby town. I can fool them into buying my medicine at a high price."
"Hehe, since they like to get horny so much, I will make a strong aphrodisiac and Viagra for them."
I laughed maniacally in the bathroom and didn't realize my sister gave me a weird look.
Of course, even if I'm acting like a madman, my brocon of a sister would see me as an angel.
"Yuan, so adorable." Han Yue rubbed her cheeks contently.
...
...
A few days later, I made my way to the town.
It's called Free Leaf City, and upon entering, I can see many carriages coming in and out.
Of course, I'm not dumb enough to expose myself to these people.
I have concocted a medicine that can temporarily grow my body into that of a teen and change my appearance. The effect lasts a day, meaning I must scam these nobles within that time limit.
I walked around the city, trying to find a good spot.
Then, an empty spot entered my eyes.
I smiled and laid down a cloth, pulling one jar of medicine one after another.
"GET YOUR MEDICINE!"
"GET YOUR MEDICINE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!"
"GET YOUR MEDICINE! I GUARANTEE YOU CAN MAKE YOUR WIFE AND HUSBAND HAPPY TONIGHT~!"
"THIS IS LIMITED MEDICINE! YOU CAN ONLY GET IT HERE TODAY IN FREE LEAF TOWN FOR LIMITED PERIOD!"
What do people like?
As a man, who has lived in a modern world, I know people like to buy expensive yet worthless shits as long as it was a limited edition. Even if you are poor, you have this "useless" desire brewing in your chest.
But this is even worse for spoiled rich kids.
They only knew how to spend money.
Yes, I'm here today to exploit that quality.
And as I expected, some nobles are interested in my product.
I calmed myself and appeared as friendly as possible, but not to the point of licking their ass.
"Come and check my products, young masters, young mistress."
"Hmph, tell me what you have!" A young man in a rich-looking blue robe replied with an arrogant voice.
I didn't mind his pesky tone and answered, "My shop has two medicines brewed by a medicinal saint in the West."
"This red bottle contained a strong medicine called Joyous Journey, which could enhance, cough, you know, one's performance in bed by ten times for an hour."
"What, ten times!" The young man and his friends were shocked.
"Don't lie, peasant!"
"How can a mere medicine be so effective!"
"Even Whale Glue wasn't so good!"
I snorted inwardly and continued with a small, "Well, why don't we ask someone for a demonstration? You, right there, yes, you!"
One of the noble's guards pointed at himself, looking clueless.
I nodded at him, "Come here."
"Take a sip."
"If my product fails to deliver, you can chop my neck immediately!"
Everyone sucked a cold breath at my bravery.
But now, they are intrigued.
How come I can be so confident?
"Go." One of the noble kids ordered.
The guard could only helplessly approach me and drink my product with a wary feeling, but soon, a tent appeared.
Men and women in the area were shocked.
They can feel intense warmth coming from the guard. He appeared more energetic and manly than before.
Some "frustrated" noble women couldn't help but bite their lips. After all, their husbands have been very disappointing these days.
If their husband had this medicine, they couldn't imagine how happy they would be.
"Give me THREE!" A fat noble shouted at the top of his lungs.
That shout triggered a chain reaction, and the others started doing the same.
I clapped my hand, "Okay, calm down, everyone."
"We only talked about Joyous Journey, right? You don't even know about my second product yet."
"Let me introduce you to this blue bottle. The medicinal saint called this Maiden's Charm."
"Once consumed, it will stimulate your senses and make intercourse more satisfying."
"The effect lasts an hour like Joyous Journey."
"And I can guarantee you 3 times the normal experience."
"T-Three times..." Several nobles gulped simultaneously.
The audience exploded with frantic desire.
I can see the hunger in their eyes.
"BUY! BUY! BUY!"
"GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR STOCK!"
"GIVE ME FIVE-! No, TEN BOTTLES!"
"ONLY TEN? I WANT THIRTY BOTTLES BECAUSE I LOVE MY WIFE!"
The chaos is not like any other.
Not even a fish market can be this loud and chaotic.
Hehe, I Am The Cook!
I clapped my hands again, "Okay, everyone."
"Don't get too excited."
"I have enough for everyone."
After saying that, I pulled a sack from the back and revealed hundreds of red and blue bottles.
"Well, then. Let's get into business!" I grinned.
...
...
That day, I made a mad profit of 696,900 gold coins.
