Chapter 287 – Moonlight Spring (1)
Early the next morning, Shen Yanxiao went to the Pharmaceutical Branch Library. Under the Library Manager’s guidance, she got on the lift platform to go up to the 95th floor where Ye Qing was located.
As soon as Shen Yanxiao reached the 95th floor, she noticed the difference of that floor compared to the others. On the 90th floor, there were three or four rooms, and Pu Lisi was in one of those rooms.
But, the 95th floor was a full room, the entire floor was only for Ye Qing to use.
Just with this, one could clearly see the gap between Ye Qing and Pu Lisi.
Shen Yanxiao stepped out of the lift platform quietly. A faint scent of medicine floated into her nose. The scent was mingling with a trace of a fishy smell. It was something similar to the smell of Pu Lusi’s room yesterday, but the smell was more intense here.
Along with that smell, Shen Yanxiao walked to the core area of the 95th floor. There, Ye Qing stood before a huge refining medicine table, immersed in concocting a potion with his hands.
Shen Yanxiao silently walked closer, and didn’t utter a single word as to avoid disturbing Ye Qing’s work.
After standing up for two hours, only then did Ye Qing freed himself from the potion. When he saw Shen Yanxiao, who was standing beside him, he was surprised for a moment.
“How long had it been since you’ve come here?” Ye Qing needed absolute peace and concentration when concocting a potion, so he didn’t notice anything about the surrounding environment.
“It has been about two hours now. I saw that you were concocting potions, so I didn’t talk so that I won’t disturb you.” Shen Yanxiao was also a pharmacist, so she naturally knew that when concocting a potion, one couldn’t be disturbed by the surrounding environment. Therefore, she didn’t make any noise.
During this time, she had been paying attention to the things in Ye Qing’s hands which made him busy.
Looking at the medicinal ingredients and the half-completed potions placed on the table, Shen Yanxiao could guess that the potion Ye Qing was busy with was the Blood Feast Potion.
He was very careful in putting several medicinal ingredients together, and a few of them had a certain repulsion effect against each other, which made him to start anew.
Even so, Shen Yanxiao could still see that Ye Qing’s technique in refining the medicinal herbs and concocting potions was sort of exquisite. In all fairness, with her current ability, she was afraid that her level was far below Ye Qing’s level.
The number one Master Pharmacists was indeed really powerful.
Shen Yanxiao was silently waiting so she could gain Ye Qing’s favor. When Ye Qing saw Shen Yanxiao’s attitude towards Pu Lisi before, he had thought that this kid was a wild, unruly genius student. Unexpectedly, she could be calm and patient, waiting after him for a long time.
Ye Qing had to re-evaluate Shen Yanxiao.
“Since you’re here. Help me with some medicinal herbs.” Ye Qing saw Shen Yanxiao’s skills in refining medicinal herbs, it was assumed that she could properly handle basic herbs. As for the higher level medicinal herbs, Ye Qing still prefered to do it himself.
Shen Yanxiao also didn’t say much. According to Ye Qing’s instruction, she carefully refined this batch of medicinal herbs.
Ye Qing would give her some pointers from time to time about her refining methods, making Shen Yanxiao to improve very fast with her level as well.
Shen Yanxiao was refining medicinal herbs at the side while also paying attention to Ye Qing as he concocted the Blood Feast Potion. Even Ye Qing, who was at the peak of the Master Pharmacists’ level, also needed to be careful when concocting the Blood Feast Potion. In the end, it was still difficult to complete it, and he could only manage to do two-thirds of the concoction process.
Before, Shen Yanxiao had suspected that Ouyang Huanyu had been deliberately slowing down Blood Feast Potion’s concoction. But after seeing Ye Qing doing the refining, she thought that Ouyang Huanyu was still not that vicious.
