"The central region will probably belong to outstanding young people like you in the future," Song Jianming said with a sigh. Then he turned to Feng Yuqin and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Feng Yuqin replied, "I'm in urgent need of medicinal herbs. I'd like to check the bulletin board in the medicinal herb warehouse."
She knew that the Alchemists' Guild had a bulletin board for alchemists, similar to the mercenary guild where tasks were assigned.
If there were suitable tasks, she would take them to gather more medicinal herbs for her medicine field.
"Then I'll take you there," Song Jianming offered.
"No need. Just tell me the general direction. I can go there by myself," Feng Yuqin said.
Hearing this, Song Jianming thought that the Alchemists' Guild was a bit safer than the outside, so he agreed. After telling her how to get there, Feng Yuqin headed for the medicinal herb warehouse alone.
Feng Yuqin's appearance was truly outstanding.
So she attracted a lot of attention along the way.
"Who is she? She's so beautiful. Why have I never seen her before?"
"I don't know either. How about we go and ask?"
"Although she's very beautiful, she looks so unapproachable. Ordinary people probably dare not approach her."
Feng Yuqin was like a proud fairy, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
So many people thought she was beautiful but didn't dare to get close to her.
"I remember she came from the back mountain, right?"
"So what?"
"The only person who comes from the back mountain and is this beautiful is probably the newly arrived guest elder, Feng Yuqin."
"She's Feng Yuqin? She's so beautiful. I'm afraid she didn't get the position of guest elder by her strength," a woman said sourly.
"So she's just a vase. There's nothing to like about her."
"I heard she offended the Qi family."
"What's going on? Tell me."
Some people didn't know about the feud between Feng Yuqin and the Qi family, so those who knew began to tell them.
Feng Yuqin was unaware of these people's discussions. She just wanted to replenish her medicine field as soon as possible.
So she quickened her pace towards the hall of the medicinal herb warehouse.
Because of her dazzling beauty, many people were attracted to her.
Even if she was just a vase, she was a super pleasing one.
So as she walked towards the medicinal herb warehouse, there were quite a few people following her.
There were several large bulletin boards in the hall of the medicinal herb warehouse.
Each bulletin board had tasks for refining pills written on it.
The highest - level task was for a seventh - grade pill.
In the Alchemists' Guild, the most powerful alchemist was only at the seventh grade.
"Master, these pills are a piece of cake for you," Xiaojin also saw the task requirements on the board.
"For master, it's really not difficult," Xiaoying also said, "but it's a bit troublesome that we can only take three tasks each time."
Feng Yuqin was also thinking about this problem.
She needed a large number of medicinal herbs, so only being able to take three tasks each time was a bit time - consuming.
Just as she was worrying about what to do, the person in charge in the hall said impatiently, "Feng Yuqin, are you going to take the tasks or not? If not, get out. Don't waste other people's time."
Xiaoying and Xiaojin were both angry at the same time.
Damn it! How dare they treat the master like this.
It seemed they had to spare some time tonight to teach these people who had bullied the master a lesson.
Feng Yuqin turned around, her eyes slightly cold.
She had a cold - looking temperament to begin with. Now, because of her anger, the aura she exuded was even colder.
She scanned the others present with her cold and icy gaze and asked, "If I remember correctly, the rules don't stipulate that we must make a choice within a certain time."
The others also thought Feng Yuqin was right.
Since they were all from the Alchemists' Guild, especially those here, they had basically selected tasks here before, so they had read the rules.
"Just because there's no such rule, you can waste everyone's time?" the person in charge said coldly.
"Have I wasted your time?" Feng Yuqin said. Then she moved aside a bit and continued, "If you want to choose, I can let you choose first."
Anyway, according to the rules, one could only choose three tasks. And the seventh - grade pills had been on the list for a long time and no one had chosen them. She guessed that no one could refine them.
So if she let others choose, it was unlikely that they would choose the seventh - grade pills.
"No, no, no. We won't choose," a man said. "The quality requirements for these pills are very high. Although I really want to choose, I can't meet the standard."
"Yes. The task list came out this morning, and it's almost evening now. All the tasks that could be chosen have been taken," a pink - dressed woman beside him said.
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin's eyes lit up. She looked at the two of them and asked, "You want to choose tasks for the medicinal herbs so that you can refine the pills you want, right?"
"Of course. Isn't that the purpose of coming to the medicinal herb warehouse to do tasks?" the man said. After all, if one wanted to earn points, they had to go to another hall.
"What pill do you need?" Feng Yuqin stared at the man and asked.
Although the man didn't know why Feng Yuqin asked this, when he saw her bright eyes, he subconsciously replied, "A fifth - grade Restoration Pill."
Feng Yuqin took out a small porcelain bottle and said, "There are two fifth - grade Restoration Pills in here. Can you go and get the fifth - grade task for me?"
The man was stunned, and so were the others.
The person in charge even shouted angrily, "Feng Yuqin, do you know what you're doing?"
Feng Yuqin ignored the person in charge directly and continued, "You need pills. If the task is not completed, one pill will be deducted. So even if the task is not completed, you won't lose anything. Instead, you'll get a pill. It's a very cost - effective deal."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
The man came to his senses and asked in disbelief, "Elder Feng, are you serious?"
Feng Yuqin nodded. "I'm very serious."
"Elder Feng, this is a completely loss - making move. What do you want?" the woman who had spoken earlier also looked at Feng Yuqin in confusion and asked.
Yes, everyone present thought that this was a completely loss - making deal. Only a fool would do such a thing.
Even the person in charge, who had been making a fuss just now, kept quiet.
The person in charge was a lackey of the Qi family, so he had already got a portrait of Feng Yuqin.
The moment Feng Yuqin appeared, he had planned to cause trouble for her.
Now seeing Feng Yuqin do such a stupid thing, a look of contempt flashed across his face. He cursed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, she was just a stupid vase.
"For the medicinal herbs," Feng Yuqin pointed to the task list on the bulletin board and said. "There are rewarded medicinal herbs for completing the tasks. So after you get the tasks, hand them over to me. I'll refine the pills."
Everyone: "..."
"If you have pills you want, you can get the tasks and come to me to exchange for pills," Feng Yuqin said something that shocked everyone again.
"Elder Feng, is what you said true?" the people beside her asked excitedly.
The others also looked at Feng Yuqin with hopeful eyes, wanting to confirm again if what she said was true.
