Commanding Wind and Cloud
chapter-306

Saloo Bard opened his mouth and said with a surprised and praising expression, "Young man, I thought you were a scammer, but it seems like you know some stuff."

As if he realized something, Pam Honzi said as he looked at Qian Jin’s expression. "You mean..."

"That’s right." Qian Jin said calmly. "Mr. Saloo Bard used a very theoretical approach and didn’t use any creativity. Making this potion this way, there would be only one outcome, and that is..."

Qian Jin snapped his finger, and a louder explosion sounded within a building of the Pam Family as if it was triggered by Qian Jin’s command. This time, the flames went up more than a hundred meters high and the "fire tornado" only disappeared after several seconds.

Two explosions! In the same day! The two top Mystic Pharmacists of the Pam Family who rarely created explosions made a scene each today after trying to create difficult Mystic Potions.

"These explosions..." Qian Jin said with a bitter smile. "They seemed to be like a welcoming ceremony especially prepared for me."

Saloo Bard stared at Qian Jin speechlessly. He wanted to say that this young man was spouting non-sense but his pharmacy exploded and proved this young man right.

After a short moment of silence, the surprise on Saloo Bard’s face disappeared as he coughed dryly to transition the topic off of his failure. "My mistake, if I didn’t use the Ice Star Skin and Wild Yellow Eel’s Bladder instead..."

"Then you wouldn’t have had the chance to walk out of there..." Qian Jin said with a smile. "You would get the chance to experience the explosion first-hand."

Saloo Bard’s mouth opened and nothing came out. Qian Jin continued as he waved his right finger. "Do you want to say that you can use the Root of the Dirt-Grass a hundred meters under the sea? If you did that you would instantly experience the explosion. If you used the lava stone made from thousand-year-old lava, it would be calm for three days before the explosion. However, that explosion would wipe out three buildings of the size of your pharmacy."

Saloo Bard didn’t know what to say. "How does he know what I want to say? I only thought of the last ingredient after he brought up other ingredients... Would the results be how he predicted it?" He thought to himself in surprise and amazement.

Swit Lei on the other hand also stared at Qian Jin. "Where did this kid come from? The ingredients that I suggested Bard to use were all identified by him..." He thought.

"There are more possibilities." Qian Jin scratched his head and said. "If you guys have enough time, you probably can come up with 38 substitute ingredients together. But I would recommend you guys stop trying. Although no explosion would occur, the results would be just as bad. People who drink the potion can just buy a coffee and a coffin without even needing to see a doctor."

The two old man looked at Qian Jin. They are somewhat doubtful but they also believed Qian Jin since he was predicted both explosions. All of Qian Jin’s predictions might have taken them years of trial-and-error to figure out, but the young man was able to do that based on the smell.

After Qian Jin got a good feel for both Mystic Pharmacists, he sighed in disappointment. To him, it looked like that the leader of the Hydra Family who was rumored to be brilliant had his shortcomings. These two’s understanding of Mystic Potions was so limited that Eulalia might kill them with poison to stop them from bringing shame to the subject.

The more carelessness Qian Jin showed the more Swit Lei was shocked. "This is just too surprising! In the entire Qian Region, no one is better than me even including the few Mystic Pharmacists of the Qian Family! I’m already a famous Mystic Pharmacist, but I’m less knowledgeable than this young man?"

There was no longer doubt in Pam Honzi’s eyes. Both Mystic Pharmacists of the Pam Family had been invited by the Royal Family. Their understanding of Mystic Pharmaceuticals couldn’t be doubted.

These two famous experts showed defeat after this young man dropped a few lines?

"Damn! What a beast!" Pam Honzi looked through the door as his eyes landed on Duren Burg. He was sure that he had to bring Duren Burg back to the Pam Family! Not just for Duren Burg, Pam Honzi believed he had a chance of convincing Qian Jin to join the family as an Assisting Elder as well. Qian Jin’s knowledge of Mystic Pharmaceuticals alone made him overqualified for the position.

"Leader..." Saloo Bard sighed. "I’m not as good as this young man. If he is not a Mystic Pharmacist, then what am I? If anyone else calls him a scammer, then I would be a worse scammer."

Swit Lei stood beside Saloo Bard and nodded. "Leader, I hold the same opinion."

"Since this is the case..." Pam Honzi nodded and said, "Then can both of you please create a fresh Mystic Potion to increase the probability of Duren Burg’s choosing the bloodline ability he wants?"

Saloo Bard and Swit Lei both looked at Qian Jin and asked, "Can Mr. Qian Jin join us as well? His understanding of Mystic Pharmaceuticals is far beyond us. He might be able to make improvements to the current formula and increase the probability."

Pam Honzi’s attention also fell onto Qian Jin. This assisting potion was one of the core secrets of the Pam Family, if he decided to let Qian Jin know about it, it would go to show his trust and confidence in Qian Jin.

"Qian Jin, would you be interested?" Pam Honzi smiled at Qian Jin as if he wasn’t even worried that Qian Jin might decline.

Assisting Potion! Any Mystic Pharmacist would fall for new potions that they didn’t know about. Since Qian Jin was a Mystic Pharmacist, then... Pam Honzi believed that Qian Jin couldn’t refuse the chance of seeing the unique formula that the Pam Family had.

Moreover, this was to help Duren Burg out. As a friend, Qian Jin couldn’t refuse that. Even if he couldn’t make improvements, it would be a way to show his effort. If he was able to make improvements, the entire Hydra Family would benefit from it.

No negative consequences! Only positives! Pam Honzi was very confident. The Assisting potion alone wasn’t enough, the second altar of Hydra Bloodline Family was another piece of the key.

That was why Pam Honzi didn’t really mind that fact that Qian Jin might learn Pam Family’s secret.

"Ok." Qian Jin smiled out of joy. He was planning to get a little sample from the Assisting potion that Duren Burg would receive in order to study it, but he was also afraid that there might not be enough potion for Duren Burg left.

"Leader." Duren Burg bowed outside of the door and said, "There is one more request from me."

Pam Honzi waved his hand to tell Duren Burg to speak his mind. This was a great opportunity for him to show his genuineness towards Duren Burg. As long as Duren Burg didn’t request multiple uses of the altar or taking the altar with him, Pam Honzi would be fine with it.

"I want to see the second altar first." Duren Burg looked into Pam Honzi’s eyes as he said, "I heard about it many times but I want to see it sooner than later."

"Look at the altar?" Pam Honzi was a little surprised. He didn’t expect such a request. After all, Duren Burg was going to see it anyway.

"No problem." Pam Honzi walked out of the door with a delighted expression. The Pam Family had gained a lot from the trade today.

Letting Duren Burg use the altar was like giving candy to a little kid. As long as he found it intriguing, he would want to use it again. However, the criteria to use the altar for the second time would be much stricter and there was a high probability of getting Duren Burg back to the Family.

On top of that, 1,000 vials of the "Mystic Potion"! Pam Honzi felt like he couldn’t find any better trade than this one. One could say that he didn’t give up anything and gained a ton of benefits. The free 1,000 bottles of potions would increase the strength of the Pam Family by a lot.

The Assisting potion might also be improved! The smile on Pam Honzi’s face got brighter as he thought about it. Today was a good day for him. All of those benefits and the bait to attract these young men to join the Pam Family seemed to fall into place as well.

Since the Mystic Pharmacies were destroyed and needed some time to be rebuilt, Qian Jin also followed Pam Honzi into the backyard. After getting through several gates, they stopped in front of an artificial mountain.

On the mountain that was only about a hundred meters tall. There were various magic arrays and magic cores embedded in it and there were more around the mountain. There were more than 3 dozen mages who were also guarding these arrays with their wands.

Normally, these mages were able to use the magic core on the mountain to increase their spiritual power. When they faced attacks, the entire mountain was able to used as a huge magic conductor! It would deal devastating damage while protecting itself with magic shields before Hydra Bloodline Warriors could get here.

The magic mountain that could both attack and defense didn’t draw much attention from Qian Jin. Not because he didn’t want to observe them, but rather he didn’t want to draw attention from Pam Honzi if he paid too attention to these runes and magic arrays.

A thick metal gate filled with magic arrays and magic cores slowly opened. As soon as Qian Jin stepped in, he felt the Warrior Power in his body was cycling a lot slower as if something was trying to lock it down.
