Free Web NovelChapter 48: Apex Medicine Pavilion - Harley
Darius frowned when he heard those words. Since when had he come here to cause trouble? Was this man senile?
"What do you mean, causing trouble?"
"Bah, randomly naming some non-existent medicinal plants, isn’t this purposely causing trouble?" the middle-aged man harrumphed, his facial expression silently proclaiming: Hah, I’ve seen through you.
Darius asked, "Why do you think that I’m just randomly naming some non-existent medicinal plants?"
"Aren’t you asking nonsense? I’m a grand alchemist at the medium level of the Tier-1 Grade. Even I have never heard of these medicinal plants, so aren’t you just randomly naming them? Get out of here!" The middle-aged man waved his hand as if he were shooing away flies.
The middle-aged man’s name was Harley Graham, and he was indeed an alchemist at the medium level of the Tier-1 Grade.
There were other customers in the shop, and once they heard his words, they all let out an "oh" sound, their faces filled with respect.
Alchemists were a very scarce and noble profession. There were four major grades in the profession—Tier-4, Tier-3, Tier-2, and Tier-1. Every grade was further divided into three minor levels—high, medium, and low. However, even an alchemist at the medium level of the Tier-1 Grade was a welcomed and respected existence, someone all major powers would fight to have.
It was the same in Dragon City. There was only one alchemist of this rank, and he worked in the Apex Medicine Pavilion. Usually, he didn’t even need to concoct medicinal pills; the purpose behind his presence was simply to be an overseer, an aloof existence in a way. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Thus, Harley Graham naturally had enough reason to be prideful.
"Even Alchemist Harley has said so. This brat must indeed have come to cause trouble."
"What a joke. He actually came to the Apex Medicine Pavilion to misbehave. Where did this fool come from?"
"Maybe he’s here to entertain the audience?"
Everyone was on Harley Graham’s side. An alchemist was an extremely noble existence, and thus their partiality was hardly surprising.
Darius was quite amused. He felt this scene was very similar to those face-slapping scenes. After hundreds of years of Earth’s development, it seemed that power had indeed corrupted people’s minds, making them arrogant beyond comparison.
Yet, although amused, he was slightly irritated and said, "If you’ve never heard of them, that’s because of your own lack of ability. How can you, without any basis, proclaim that others are simply causing trouble? Go and ask for the most knowledgeable person in your shop. I shall speak to him."
"Who do you think you are to command me?" Harley Graham likewise looked extremely unhappy. He had come out personally to expose him, so why was he still here being a pest? Moreover, Harley Graham was the person in charge of this Apex Medicine Pavilion! Who else would be better educated than him here?
Naturally, that was excluding Grandmaster Gabriel. The latter was merely here on holiday when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, so he was borrowing the Apex Medicine Pavilion’s facilities to concoct pills.
Seeing this, the corners of Any’s lips slightly lifted, and she looked a little expectant.
She was quite interested in Darius’s background. Was he going to use his strength to suppress the entire Apex Medicine Pavilion? Even after everything she had seen, Any didn’t believe he possessed that level of power. Otherwise, he would’ve simply taken over this pavilion himself instead of creating the Immortal Pavilion.
It should be known that the Apex Medicine Pavilion was a colossal existence. Even the imperial family would have to treat them with respect! She was only the daughter of a small merchant, so she definitely could not accompany Darius in causing trouble here and bring great harm to her father. Thus, she decided not to speak and even took a few steps back.
Aren’t you quite capable? Why are you being embarrassed now?
Although she had agreed to become Darius’s follower tonight, it was only out of curiosity. Moreover, with her pride, that was something she was most unwilling to do... at least at present. Thus, she really wanted to see Darius’s embarrassed face.
’Hmph, that’s what you get for refusing to give me more access to your cultivation rooms.’ She snorted coldly, feeling pleased with her decision not to warn Darius or help him out. However cold a woman was, she would still want to retaliate when made unhappy, and this was her form of retaliation.
"Get lost!" Harley Graham brushed off his hands, looking impatient.
"You won’t regret this?" Darius said slowly.
"Haha, what can you do to me?" Harley Graham felt unreasonably amused. This young man actually dared to threaten him.
The other people in the shop also looked as though they were watching a comedy. Was this young man a spoiled young master from some family or a core member of some guild? However, even if he were the son of a guild leader or the descendant of one of Dragon City’s four generals, he still wouldn’t be qualified to stand against a medium-level alchemist of the Tier-1 Grade.
Darius only smiled and turned toward Any. He truly felt this was becoming like a Chinese novel face-slapping scene. However, despite his irritation, he still needed those medicinal herbs, and this was the only place where he could obtain them.
A feeling of disdain flashed through Any’s heart when she saw him look at her. Was he going to ask her to take action? She couldn’t even if she agreed. However, she only heard Darius say, "Help me shout loudly, ’You’ve put too much Copper Valley Sand!’ Do it three times. The louder, the better."
What did that mean?
Any’s beautiful eyes widened, but when she saw the confidence on Darius’s face, her heart trembled, and she couldn’t help but do as he instructed.
"You’ve put too much Copper Valley Sand!"
"You’ve put too much Copper Valley Sand!"
"You’ve put too much Copper Valley Sand!"
She was at the Sixth Layer of the First Realm, so her shout was like a lion’s roar. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"You’re both crazy! Chase them out of here!" Harley Graham furiously ordered the two guards in the shop.
