The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2524 Alchemists can make a living anywhere!
"No one knows exactly how big or how powerful that giant tortoise was, but everyone who encountered it died, not even their primordial spirits escaped."

Hearing the legend of the giant turtle, Lin Chen became even more curious: "Since it's dead, how do you know it was a giant turtle?"

The middle-aged man said, "A long time ago, this giant turtle appeared in the deepest part of the Kutuo Sea. It was huge, and some people wanted to hunt it down, but they never returned. Later, some powerful people who were not convinced wanted to kill it, but those who went either returned empty-handed without finding the giant turtle or disappeared from the world."

"As more and more people died, no one dared to seek death anymore. Over time, the existence of the giant turtle became a legend. Apart from those who didn't believe in the supernatural and risked their lives to find it, everyone chose to stay away from that sea area."

Lin Chen said "Oh," and then laughed, "It seems we need to get away from this area."

The middle-aged man advised, "In the land of exile, the primary prerequisite for everything is survival. Only by surviving can you think about anything else."

Lin Chen nodded: "How do we contact each other?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "It will take me some time to gather information. If I have any, I will wait for you at the restaurant entrance. By the way, my name is Luo Binggang, you can just call me Lao Luo."

"it is good!"

The two chatted for a while, and it was almost time. Without waiting for the formation to eject them from the restaurant, he and Luo Binggang walked out on their own.

Luo Binggang left directly, and Lin Chen pondered for a moment before changing his mind.

Although he could hide in the Linglong Tower or the Qiqiao Palace to completely avoid the spiritual energy tide, he would also lose many opportunities to find possible information.

Taking advantage of the last two minutes, Lin Chen asked the guard at the door, "I heard that there is a great demand for pills on this island. I am an alchemist. Is there anywhere you can take me in?"

The guard replied casually, "The Wei family's pharmacy up ahead is recruiting alchemists. You can go and take a look, but if you're just a beginner with only a smattering of skill, then don't go and humiliate yourself."

"Thank you!"

Lin Chen politely thanked him, left the restaurant, and plunged into the spiritual energy tide that resembled a dense rain curtain.

The pain instantly spread throughout Lin Chen's body again, and a golden barrier appeared on his body, temporarily blocking the tide of spiritual energy.

Lin Chen walked forward along the damp street and soon found Wei Family Pharmacy.

The same bright lights, the same crowds, and the same bustling atmosphere.

Lin Chen walked to the door and cupped his hands in greeting to the guards standing in the barrier: "I heard the pharmacy is hiring. I'm an alchemist, and I'd like to give it a try."

The guard sized Lin Chen up and down: "What level of alchemist are you?"

Lin Chen replied, "I can basically refine mid-grade pills, and I can also refine some high-grade pills."

Lin Chen did not fully reveal his alchemy skills, because if he revealed too much, it might attract unnecessary trouble.

"Wait."

The guards came out quickly, followed by an old man in a black robe. He had a shrewd look and seemed to have the air of a shopkeeper.

"You want to apply for the position of alchemist at our Wei Family Pharmacy?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, as long as you are willing to take me in, I am willing to refine pills for you." The old man casually asked: "Do you know how to refine Qiyang Pills?"

Medium-grade elixir, moderate difficulty to obtain.

"meeting."

"Taihe San?"

Medium-grade elixir, quite difficult to obtain.

"meeting!"

A hint of joy appeared in the old man's eyes, and he continued to ask, "Turtle Scale Pill?"

This is a high-level pill, but its difficulty level is only considered average among high-level pills.

"meeting!"

The old man's face lit up with even more joy, and his eyes gleamed with anticipation: "White Rainbow Pill?"

Seeing the old man's expression, Lin Chen knew that his performance had already surprised the man quite a bit. So he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I can't do that. After all, the formulas for high-grade pills are very difficult to collect, and the cost of refining them is too high..."

"come in!"

Without wasting words, the old man let Lin Chen enter the medicine shop's protective barrier, and the pressure on his body instantly disappeared.

"Come with me. If you can refine any of the ones I just asked about, then you can stay. If you're just bragging, hehe..."

The old man didn't say what he was going to do, but the threat in his words was quite clear.

"it is good!"

Following the old man into the shop, they were led directly to the back of the shop, into an empty room with a pill-refining furnace in the middle.

With a wave of his hand, the old man sent a piece of medicinal herb flying out of his spatial ring and landing on the operating table beside him.

"Refine it for me."

Lin Chen was not intimidated and readily agreed, then began to operate with ease.

The old man stood quietly to the side with his hands behind his back, watching Lin Chen's every move with eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

With Lin Chen's strength, refining these mid-level pills was as easy as taking candy from a baby.

When the finished elixir fell into the silver plate, gleaming with an enticing aroma, the old man's eyes revealed an undisguised joy.

Good guy!
With such a high success rate and such good quality pills, this kid is a master!
