Nissi felt like she was going crazy.

Today was supposed to be just another ordinary workday for her. Standing at the front desk, she stared outside the door as usual, feeling drowsy.

Then a young boy walked in with a slave elf under the sunlight.

The boy had a handsome appearance and an indescribable aura, and the slave elf looked cute, giving her a refreshing feeling.

"Is this the Prorong branch?" The boy politely asked, while the slave elf looked around hesitantly, remaining silent behind the boy.

"Yes, may I help you?" Her first impression of the boy and the girl was not bad, at least before the boy made a series of actions.

"Well, I need some medicinal herbs. Can your store provide them?"

"No problem, just let me know."

Then the boy started listing the medicinal herbs he needed.

Nissi was shocked awake.

She hadn't even heard of some of these herbs, she could only understand the grade of the medicinal herbs that the boy mentioned.

Seventh grade, eighth grade, eighth grade...

What does this boy want with these medicinal herbs?

Nissi's gaze at the boy began to get strange, and her heart started to feel uneasy.

"Do you have all these herbs in your store?"

How could they have them all! A seventh-grade medicinal herb alone was worth around 500 purple gold coins, which was enough to cover the rent for several years in this area.

As for the eighth grade? The flagship product of their store, the Linghong Flower, was an extremely rare eighth-grade herb worth tens of thousands.

At the moment, the boy listed the names of several eighth-grade medicinal herbs, the total value of this batch of medicinal herbs was conservatively estimated to be around 30,000 purple gold coins.

"...How should I address you?"

"Lu Lin."

"The medicinal herbs you need are currently not available in our store, but if you contact Prorong's headquarters in this empire, they should be able to meet your needs... As for the price, it would be around 30,000 purple gold coins. Can you accept this price?"

"30,000? I don't have that many purple gold coins right now..." The boy contemplated.

Right? Even if you were a wealthy family's young master, it's impossible for them to give you that much money, right? So you're just here to cause trouble after all...

Nissi breathed a sigh of relief.

"But can I exchange these medicinal herbs with this ancient prescription?"

Then, the boy coughed and gently took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.

Ancient...prescription?

This...piece of torn paper?

Nissi's mouth twitched a few times.

Is he a fraud?

There are often fraudsters who come holding ancient parchment claiming to be an ancient prescription in an attempt to cheat money, and then they are seen through by the boss and run away in embarrassment.

But...this person named Lu Lin in front of her, is he really not an idiot?

He didn't even buy parchment, he directly took out a piece of white paper that looked average...manufactured by modern industry.

Can't even make a better fake?

Would an ancient prescription be written on a piece of modern manufactured draft paper? This guy must have just picked up some used draft paper from an elementary student!

"Sir...what do you mean by this?"

Although she had labeled Lu Lin as a fool, basic professionalism still needed to be maintained, so Nissi maintained a professional smile and didn't explode on the spot.

"I think it's reasonable to exchange an eighth-grade ancient prescription for those medicinal herbs," Lu Lin answered seriously.

Hmm, it's not just an ancient prescription, it's an eighth-grade one? This is like trying to trick a summoner with an egg and saying it's a dragon egg...

No way anyone would believe you, right?

Unfortunately, this boy's face still looked serious, as if he really wanted to convince himself that this was really an eighth-grade ancient prescription.

"Sir, please stop joking... If you keep this up, we will put you on the blacklist."

"I'm telling you, this is a genuine prescription. If you get your boss to come out, he should understand."Lu Lin ignored the blacklist and insisted on answering.

In this way, there would be no way to communicate.

He could only wait for the boss to come and scold him and kick him out. If the boss was not happy and put him on the blacklist, he might be ruined for life.

"Niss, what's the problem?"

- Just as Lu Lin was thinking about the boss, the boss appeared.

And...the grandmaster, a transcendent-level alchemist, also followed.

"This Mr. Lu Lin said he wants to exchange some medicinal materials with an Eighth-order ancient prescription."

"Eighth-order?" The grandmaster's interest was piqued, and he asked.

"Yes," Niss nodded.

"Where is the prescription?" the boss asked.

"There...over there," Niss pointed to the counter, where a...crumpled piece of paper lay.

"...Is this the prescription?" The boss was also momentarily silent, then incredulously said.

Even the grandmaster fell into a subtle shock, and then his face darkened.

"Just this piece of paper."

"Is this what you call an ancient prescription, sir?" The boss's face gradually turned cold as he spoke to Lu Lin in a cold voice.

He noticed the change in the grandmaster's expression.

The grandmaster was a respected alchemist among the five transcendent-level alchemists, and to say that this piece of paper was an ancient prescription undoubtedly insulted his intelligence and respect for it.

The grandmaster was already a very restrained alchemist, and now he had put on such an expression. One can imagine the anger in his heart.

If he offended the grandmaster because of this matter, it would be difficult to explain to his superiors!

"Eighth-order ancient prescription, guaranteed to be genuine," Lu Lin dismissed it and said casually.

A invisible scent of gunpowder gradually spread in the air. In the boss's eyes, this guy really didn't know how to behave.

"Since you say it is an Eighth-order pill prescription, can you tell me some of its contents?"

The one speaking was the grandmaster.

"Master..."

"What does the young man mean?" The grandmaster directly interrupted the boss and continued to speak to Lu Lin in a calm tone.

"No problem," Lu Lin replied.

"Eighth-order pill - Ling Awakening Pill, can allow the consumer to directly enter the Spirit Realm from the Ninth Realm."

He said leisurely, but these words caused a huge wave in the boss's heart.

Young man, are you really looking for trouble?

Ling Awakening Pill? Isn’t that one of the ancient prescription treasures of the "Prollong" family?

He was fortunate enough to have seen that prescription after making an indisputable oath not to disclose it to the outside world.

He remembered the names and quantities of those medicinal materials very clearly.

"Seventh-order Extinction Leaf, seventh-order Heartbreak Grass, Living-Spirit Water..." Lu Lin continued.

The boss became increasingly nervous.

None of the medicinal materials mentioned by Lu Lin were on the prescription in his memory.

Extinction Leaf, Heartbreak Grass, those are all highly toxic substances! Just a little ingestion would result in deadly poisoning. Is this guy looking for death in front of the grandmaster?

This kid is done for.

He thought to himself.

However, as each of these medicinal materials fell into the ears of the grandmaster, the grandmaster's facial expression kept changing.

At first, when he heard the names of poisonous herbs, he thought the young man was joking. But as the young man mentioned medicinal materials such as the Living-Spirit Water, which had the opposite properties of the poison, he remembered a certain medicinal theory he had studied a few days ago.

As the young man gradually mentioned more medicinal materials, his face, which had been calm for many years, gradually showed a shocked expression.
