  Chapter 154 Regenerated magic plant? (13)

  A seagull fluttered its wings, flew over the harbor along with the sea breeze, and headed straight for the coastal beach in the northeast direction.

  Near the human settlements in Nanling, there must be a large number of seagulls inhabiting, because there will be no natural enemies that can hunt them except humans themselves.

  And when humans have abundant food sources, they don’t always think about hunting them that fly and have little meat. Occasionally, they 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.

  But in the middle of the flight, it suddenly gave a frightened snap, 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 avenue.

  Harrison Pharmacy was established when it was established in Port Harrison. It was set up by the old Viscount in order to centrally recycle the herbs collected by the herb collectors. Over the past few decades, this pharmacy 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 City District and DC District all 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% more expensive. There is nothing special about it except that it has never sold fake medicine for decades, only those who don’t care about spending more Only people come here specifically 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 people, 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 let 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, they generally don’t call their names directly, 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 real name represents, the real background cannot be changed, only a fake name 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 up in public, most of them use aliases.

  Just as Lubeck, the mercenary leader in Port Harrison, was called the 'Red Blade' by all the local mercenaries, the wealthy businessman in Nauman City had always acted in the name of a silver workshop.

  Appraiser 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 I've come here."

  For the apprentices’ hospitality, Ian accepted it calmly, but also felt a little helpless—Viscount Grant is really exaggerated, he is an old acquaintance here, who doesn’t know him in the locals, and 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 speculate on the true efficacy of unknown things. They have extremely rich knowledge and experience, and most of them are highly prestigious in the local area. 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 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 nearly ten thousand white people .

  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 noticed immediately that something big was going to happen here.

   "So exciting early in the morning?"

   "Hurry up, go call Rona and his gang, there's more fun to watch!"

   "Public identification? Has anything good been dug up this time?"

   It is human nature to watch the excitement, not to mention 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 people, attract attention, and make a name for themselves .

  And those who want to sell counterfeit drugs to take advantage of it will also be exposed to the eyes of the public, be expelled from Harrison Port, and even be hanged by the pier.

"plz follow me."

  The process is also quite familiar. 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 began to publicize 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 guard who had been carrying a black box with a little metallic luster opened the box.

  The box has a built-in fluorite light source, 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 this pot of sublimation plant carefully on the identification platform. In front of Ian, Mr. Yinfang lifted the crystal cover with his own hands with a smile on his face.

   Immediately, a gentle wave spread out centered on this turquoise long bearded grass.

  The fluctuations involved a very wide range, with a radius of more than 30 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 sense 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 smart?"

   "Is it an illusion? The cut in my hand from cutting the fish just now has healed?"

   "This, this effect is too obvious, I have never seen it in so many years of collecting herbs..."

   "It's a real magic plant!"

  The onlookers, whether they were passing by or waiting for a long time, noticed this abnormality, 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 comfort from the gentle healing feeling of this magic plant?

  Even in 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 flow of source matter 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.

"what."

  But the young figure was a little puzzled: "Does such an obvious magic plant need to be identified? Doesn't it look like 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 squinted 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 almost deformed 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 sublimation organs, catalyze your vitality, but can regenerate after consuming life... and some bloodlines have true form inheritance, which requires almost distortion effects to achieve the sublimation of their own inheritance."

   "Who can know the difference between these magic plants just by looking at the effect?"

Saying so, the alchemist master felt a little emotional: "The magic plant is both medicine and poison. If it is not used well, it can kill people-this kind of seemingly mild magic plant is the most difficult to identify, and it is the easiest to give birth to a life-derived plant. poison, the appraisers in the imperial capital also need professional tools to be sure."

   "If you draw conclusions arbitrarily, it's just a joke, and you can prove that you are an amateur appraiser in the countryside."

   "So you're so particular..." A little ignorant, the young man vaguely understood the importance of appraisers.

  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 white-citizen 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?"
