Chapter 198 Alchemy
"Fu...Fu...Fuhu Pill?"
Inside the pharmacy, Little Dok wiped the medicine shelves with a damp cloth while looking at the dazzling array of pills with curious eyes.
Today is his fifth day of work. Under the orders of Lord Xu Gou, he was assigned to clean the pharmacy.
The whole process wasn't particularly arduous, but it greatly satisfied Little Doc's curiosity. There were all sorts of strange pills here, things that had never been heard of before.
Take this pill called Fuhu Wan for example. Little Dok slowly moved his gaze to a small strip of cloth below it, where it was clearly written.
Anger arises from the heart, and evil thoughts spring from the gall.
Little Dok didn't understand the meaning of the sentence and was completely confused, but that didn't stop him from being curious about the elixir.
He moved a stool over, then stood on tiptoe, wrapped a cloth around the medicine bottle, and carefully wiped it.
"Fuhu Maru...that sounds amazing!"
"That's natural."
The sudden sharp sound startled little Doc, causing him to lose his grip on the medicine bottle, which then shook and fell off the shelf.
"Oops!"
Little Doc shouted, looking at the medicine bottle with a tense gaze, and then lunged at it.
These things were incredibly precious to him, and he couldn't even imagine the torture he would suffer if he lost a single bottle.
However, he momentarily forgot that he was standing on a chair, and the already small chair began to wobble, making it difficult for him to exert any strength, and he immediately fell to the ground.
boom!
Little Doc slammed to the ground. He felt a stinging sensation in his nose, as if something was flowing out.
It hurts so much... I feel like my nose is going to break! No! I need the medicine!
Seemingly remembering something more important than his injuries, Little Doc suddenly looked up at the ground in front of him.
To his surprise, there were no scattered pills or broken medicine bottles on the ground; instead, there was nothing there.
Only now did he realize that there didn't seem to be any sound of something breaking.
"Could it have rolled somewhere?"
Little Doc got up in confusion and began to look around, but just then, the sharp voice rang out again.
"Here it is."
Upon hearing the sound, Little Doc turned around abruptly and spotted a small figure.
"Master Xugou!"
Little Doc suddenly shouted, then seemed to realize something and abruptly lowered his head.
That was too reckless! Not only did he lose the pills, but he also yelled at Lord Xu Gou. Now he's really doomed. Not to mention, if Lord Xu Gou discovers the pills are missing, his fate will be even more tragic.
Wait... pills...
Little Dok raised his head slightly, because out of the corner of his eye he seemed to catch a glimpse of a pill bottle in Lord Xu Gou's hand, and the shape of the pill bottle looked like...
Fuhu Pill!
Upon confirming the appearance, Little Dok finally breathed a long sigh of relief; the elixir had finally been found.
Even so, the way Xu Gou tossed and caught the pill bottle still terrified him. His eyes followed the bottle up and down, afraid that it would fall to the ground.
Fortunately, the Dog was not as reckless as him, and caught the dog steadily every time it threw the ball.
Little Doke didn't speak immediately because he was still confused by what had just happened. But just as he was about to speak after sorting things out, Dog suddenly moved.
crunch~
A pair of hairy feet stepped onto the chair, and perhaps because they were placed in the wrong spot, the chair wobbled.
"Help me steady this."
"Oh! Okay... okay."
As the chair was straightened, the medicine bottle returned to its original position.
"Tiger-Subduing Pill is an ordinary elixir. After ingestion, it can invigorate the blood and qi, giving a person the ability to subdue a tiger."
"This medicine is not difficult to refine, nor is it rare, but it is extremely useful."
Step~
After saying that, Xu Gou jumped off the chair, straightened his clothes, and looked at Xiao Duo Ke before speaking again.
"Are you OK."
"it's okay no problem."
Little Doke quickly responded, saying that it was already good that Dog didn't mind his recklessness, so why would he care about such a small injury?
Although all of this was because of that sudden cry from the Dog.
"Refining elixirs is like refining one's mind; one should never be hasty in anything one does, whether it is refining elixirs or being a person."
As they talked, the dog slowly stepped forward and began to examine Little Doke's face.
"I was observing you from the shadows just now, and I noticed that you pronounced the name of each pill you applied, and combined with your gaze... are you interested in alchemy?"
“I…I…I’m right.”
Little Doke spoke haltingly, seemingly still unable to bear the intense gaze of the Dog.
However, what he said was indeed true. Since arriving here, Little Doc's curiosity about elixirs had surpassed that for magic.
Every day when he cleaned the spirit plant garden, he would wonder how such things were refined into pills.
"I think elixirs are amazing."
"For example, the cooling powder I took before could cure my illness in an instant."
"For example, the Tiger-Taming Pill you just mentioned, can you really defeat a tiger after taking it?"
"Such a magical thing, could it be given to powerful people so they could defeat many bad guys?"
"If that's the case, then aren't elixirs the most powerful things in the world?"
Hearing Xiao Duoke's barrage of questions, Xu Gou laughed heartily. He didn't answer Xiao Duoke's questions immediately, but instead fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan and began to walk slowly down the corridor of the pharmacy.
"You can't say that."
"Even if the Golden Elixir is formed, it is still an unorthodox path. One must be strong to forge iron. If one wants to rely solely on elixirs to soar to the heavens in one step, that is naturally impossible."
Upon hearing this, Little Doc, who was following behind, looked a little downcast. He had thought that the elixir was omnipotent.
Seeing the dejected look on Little Dok's face, Dog Dog didn't offer any words of comfort. He just smiled lightly, looked around, and then reached out and grabbed a medicine shelf.
There was also a label on this medicine shelf that read:
This place is likely to be dangerous.
"But then again, pills do indeed give people a certain amount of strength."
"Take this medicine for example. After using it, it also strengthens the mind and concentrates the will. If you encounter a strong enemy after taking it, it can help you hold out for a little longer."
"If this medicine is combined with the Tiger-Taming Pill, even ordinary people can easily capture wild beasts in the forest."
"With the aid of elixirs, even some formidable enemies may not be impossible to defeat."
"Although this is a shortcut, isn't that how the world is?"
"What is needed will be created as long as people have a need."
"And it is precisely because so many people want to take shortcuts that this art of alchemy came into being."
After saying that, the dog walked away with a smile, fanning itself with a palm leaf fan.
