Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 153: Regenerated magic plant? (1/3)
A seagull fluttered its wings and flew over the harbor in the sea breeze, heading straight for the coastal beach in the northeast direction.
There must be a large number of seagulls living near the human settlements in Nanling, because there will be no natural enemies that can hunt them except humans themselves.
When human beings have abundant food sources, they don't always think about hunting them that will fly and have little meat. Occasionally, they will try to domesticate them as a substitute for homing pigeons.
According to the trajectory, the seagulls were going to cross the street with people coming and going, and go straight to the beach on the other side of the city to feast on.
However, halfway through the flight, it suddenly gave a panicky sound, its tail feathers gathered, and then it accelerated, and circled around at a speed of 90 degrees.
The pharmacy is located in the middle of the boulevard.
Harrison Pharmacy was established when it was established in Port Harrison. It was set up by the old Viscount to collect medicinal materials collected by herbal collectors. Over the past few decades, this drugstore has become the largest distribution center for medicinal materials in Nanling.
The special purchase point is not at the main store on Central Avenue.
XC District, New Town District and DC District have acquisition branches.
Only magic plants that are rare enough, even sublimated to plant level, will be sent to the main store for identification.
There are generally few people in the main store. Compared with other medical centers in the same city, the price of medicine here is 20-30% higher. There is nothing special about it except that it has never sold fake medicine for decades. People who spend more money will come here to seek medical advice.
But today, there are surprisingly many people in the main store—a few apprentices behind the counter, a doctor who rarely comes out of the back hall, an elf mercenary who sells medicine, and a few helpers who usually help...
Especially the three guests gathered on the right, all wearing black robes, covering their faces, looking very suspicious.
Among the three, one is a well-proportioned adult man, the other is a tall old man with a slightly hunched back but not short, and the middle one is a young boy.
At this moment, they all stared at a white-robed and white-haired boy standing at the gate.
"Mr. Wizard!"
After Ian gave way several times, but still failed to give way to the two elders, he walked into the shop first.
The first time he entered the store, he heard the respectful welcome from the pharmacy apprentice: "I've been waiting for a long time!"
In Terra, except for real acquaintances and relatives, people generally do not call them by their first names, but use various code names instead.
In this world with sublimation skills, the appearance can be changed, the voice can be changed, and even the gender can be changed easily.
Only the one represented by the real name, the real background cannot be replaced, only a pseudonym can be used to disguise...
But pseudonyms also have risks. Since they all have the same effect, the simpler code name has become a common choice, so that it has become a cultural custom in the course of hundreds of years of evolution.
Those who go out or show their faces in public, most of them use aliases to show others.
Just as Lübeck, the mercenary leader in Port Harrison, was called the 'Red Blade' by all the local mercenaries, and the wealthy businessman in Nauman City had always acted in the name of a silver workshop.
As an appraiser, it is naturally such a job, and Ian is therefore called a "guide" by many customers-a guide who leads them to the path of wealth and truth.
"It's a big battle...it's not the first time."
For the apprentices' hospitality, Ian accepted it frankly, but also felt a little helpless - Viscount Grant is really flamboyant, he is an old acquaintance here, and no one in the locals knows him, so he needs such a fanfare introduction ?
Naturally, it is only needed if there are foreigners.
However, he could also tell that these diligent voices of praise were by no means perfunctory, but sincere.
Basically, all certified appraisers are mostly knowledgeable alchemists who can use various tools and means to infer the true efficacy of unknown things. They have extremely rich knowledge and experience, and most of them are local extreme Reputable middle-aged or elderly people can endorse their appraisal results.
And there are still a small number of psykers with observation-type psychic abilities.
Ian is the latter, but he is working hard towards the former - he has the power of observation and is also learning alchemy knowledge, and in the foreseeable future, he will also become an important figure in this city. The leader of the people of Wanbai.
Combined with the impeccable resume in recent years, let alone a pharmacy apprentice, even a sitting doctor will be very polite to Ian.
At this moment, there were still a few real customers in the pharmacy. When they heard this formation, they couldn't help but look back in surprise. Several of the locals quickly spotted Elder Pude and Mr. Yinfang behind Ian.
They immediately realized that something big was going to happen here.
"So exciting early in the morning?"
"Hurry up, hurry up, go call Rona's gang, there's more fun to watch!"
"Public appraisal? Have you dug up any good things this time?"
It is the nature of human beings to watch the excitement, not to mention that there is support in it.
Ian noticed the movement on the side, and knew that more people would come to watch soon.
This play is really a complete set from beginning to end, with all the details.
However, the public appraisal session of the pharmacy is originally a repertoire - they just want to tell everyone what medicinal effects those plants have, and what good things they have here, so that they can attract humans and attract people. Eyes, fame.
And those who want to sell fake drugs to take advantage of it will also be exposed to the public's eyes, be expelled from Harrison Port, and even be hanged by the pier.
"Follow me."
The process is also quite familiar. The apprentices emptied the place opposite the door of the pharmacy, and moved in the alchemy tools used for identification in the back hall. At the same time, some apprentices and helpers went to the door and started to publicize it loudly.
The crowd slowly gathered.
When the number of people was about the same, Mr. Yinfang whispered a few words to his guard. The Iron People's guard who had been carrying a black box with a little metallic luster opened the box.
There is a fluorite light source inside the box, which is warm and peaceful, almost like the morning sun, and inside the box is a pot of light blue plants covered with transparent crystals.
Put the pot of sublimation plant carefully on the identification table. In front of Ian, Mr. Yinfang lifted the crystal cover with his own hands with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, a gentle fluctuation overflowed from the center of this turquoise long bearded grass.
The fluctuations involved an extremely wide range, with a radius of more than thirty meters, covering the entire pharmacy and the onlookers who gathered at the entrance of the street and watched the excitement through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
No matter who it is, they can feel a trace of coolness coming from the body. It seems that the wound is healing, but they don't know where the wound is. There is only a nameless comfort.
"So powerful?"
"Is it an illusion? The cut I just cut from the fish in my hand has healed?"
"This, this effect is too obvious, I have never seen it in so many years..."
"It's a real magic plant!"
Whether passing by or waiting for a long time, the onlookers noticed this anomaly, and they couldn't help being surprised, delighted, and even astonished.
In the past, when there were high-level magic plants, there were similar situations.
However, most of them are the strange fragrance that makes everyone feel uncomfortable, or the body is cold and dizzy, or even feels paralyzed by electric shocks. How can there be the comfort of this magic plant's gentle healing feeling? ?
Even inside the store, the trio who had been watching quietly all this time moved slightly, obviously surprised.
"A magic plant close to the second energy level."
The hunchbacked old man said softly, one of his eyes is a crystal prosthetic eye, and the other eye is also shining with azure light: "The source quality flow is very strange, I have never seen it before..."
"There are really good things in the countryside." The middle-aged man was a little surprised, but he didn't particularly care. He had seen too many magic plants with similar effects.
"Huh."
But the young figure was a little puzzled: "Does such an obvious magic plant need to be identified? It doesn't look like it is some kind of powerful healing magic plant, it should be a variant of some kind of regenerating magic plant in the book ?”
"Isn't this very simple? The effect is clear at a glance." He was a little confused, so: "Is there anything to identify?"
"It's not that simple, Yisen." The hunchbacked old man narrowed his eyes, he stared at it seriously, then shook his head and said: "Pharmacological alchemy is not that simple, the magic plant has the same effect, but its principle is quite different." /
"Is it by consuming the magic plant's own source quality to heal the user, or to stimulate the user's vitality to regenerate itself?"
"Is it simply hyperplasia of flesh and blood, causing a near-distorted healing, or recreating a brand new limb for you according to the information of the blood root?"
"Magic plants that use their own source quality to regenerate cannot regenerate and sublimate organs, catalyze your vitality, but can regenerate after consuming your lifespan... and some bloodlines that inherit the true shape require an effect that is close to distortion to achieve the sublimation of your own inheritance .”
"The difference between these magic plants, who can know the difference just by looking at the effect?"
Speaking in this way, the master of alchemy was a little emotional: "The magic plant is both medicine and poison. If it is not used properly, it can kill people-this kind of seemingly gentle magic plant is the most difficult and easiest to identify. To create poison from life, appraisers in the imperial capital also need professional tools."
"If you draw conclusions arbitrarily, it's just a joke, proving that you are an amateur appraiser in the countryside."
"It's so particular." A little ignorant, the young man vaguely understood the importance of an appraiser.
But at this moment, another doubt arises in him, which is somewhat expectant and somewhat suspicious.
"Since identification is so difficult."
He looked curiously at the young man in white robe who was in the center of everyone's eyes, the Bai Zhimin appraiser who was about the same age as himself: "Even the appraiser from the imperial capital can hardly tell the difference."
"Then... can he really identify so many details?"
