Training Medicine, Conditions, Huo Yuhao Sells Fish

"Zhong Kui, you say that you can only be considered a low-grade alchemist at the moment, correct?" Jing Hongchen asked as he sipped his tea.

"That is indeed the case. According to the classification of alchemists from ancient ruins, I can only be considered a relatively low-grade alchemist. I am still just a beginner and not particularly formidable."

A Grade 2 Alchemist can only be considered a low-grade alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent, capable only of providing pills to families in small cities within remote, minor nations to gain a certain level of resource protection.

Truly powerful alchemists are basically Grade 7, Grade 8, or even Grade 9.

Grade Emperor Alchemists had basically ceased to exist before Xiao Yan became a Dou Emperor, because the Source Qi on the Dou Qi Continent had vanished at that time, leaving no room for Grade Emperor Alchemists.

Therefore, the most powerful ones were only Grade 9 alchemists, though Grade 9 alchemists are further divided into those who refine Grade 9 Treasure Pills, Grade 9 Profound Pills, and Grade 9 Golden Pills.

Before Xiao Yan became an Emperor, the most powerful were merely Grade 9 Profound Pill alchemists; Grade 9 Golden Pill alchemists were basically just legends, even among the Eight Ancient Emperor Clans.

Even within the Yao Clan of the eight great clans, there were only Grade 9 Profound Pill alchemists.

A Grade 9 Golden Pill alchemist is an existence harder to achieve than a 9-Star Dou Saint, and to become one requires an extremely high threshold, such as first becoming a 9-Star Dou Saint.

Thus, the Yao Clan only had Grade 9 Profound Pill alchemists, and even the Soul Clan only had Grade 9 Profound Pill alchemists.

In the Douluo Universe, the Creation God is estimated to be at the level of a Dou Zun; after all, it was only by combining their powers that the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life could barely protect the God Realm from being destroyed by the Space-Time Turbulence.

Therefore, the creation-level power is estimated to be at the Dou Zun level.

Consequently, the pinnacle of pills that can be refined in the Douluo Universe is likely only Grade 8.

A Grade 9 Pill would probably drain the Douluo Universe dry.

"The situation is this: I hope to cultivate more talent for refining pills. After all, whether in the Sun Moon Empire or the Douluo Three Kingdoms, there are actually many people with talent who are not suited to becoming Spirit Masters or Soul Tool Masters. Many are quite skilled at refining medicinal substances. Here in our Sun Moon Empire, we have many who excel at refining medicine."

"These people are not adept at fighting as Spirit Masters, nor are they skilled in Soul Tool technology, but they are very good at alchemy. The problem is that our pill-refining technology is not very good. Currently, the Douluo Three Kingdoms possess the strongest pill technology; before I met you, the most powerful pill I had seen was the Mystic Water Pill."

"The faction capable of producing such pills is in the Heaven Spirit Empire."

"But ever since I met you, I realized that I was like a frog at the bottom of a well."

"I hope you can cultivate the Empire's alchemical forces. If you do so, we can attract more talent to join our Sun Moon Empire. As for compensation, we will not be stingy. Whatever you need, I can provide."

After hearing this, Zhong Kui understood the situation. Indeed, by refining pills, he could attract more talent to help the Sun Moon Empire, but at the same time, this was an opportunity. Zhong Kui had always feared that his parents might encounter danger and become his Achilles' heel.

After all, Zhong Kui believed he was exceptionally capable in combat and had no need to fear anyone facing him head-on. Furthermore, he had a system, so he wasn't particularly worried.

But the problem was, if someone were to use his parents as a threat, the trouble would be immense.

Therefore, Zhong Kui had always hoped to find a faction that could both protect his parents and be trusted, and the Sun Moon Empire was exactly such a faction.

If he were to make a request now, asking Jing Hongchen or Kong Deming to protect his parents' safety, they should be able to agree.

Moreover, the character of these two men was trustworthy—much better than the protagonist group, much better than Shrek, and much better than the people of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

"Hall Master, I can agree to teach more people how to refine pills, but I hope you can protect my parents."

"Oh? Can you elaborate? You can fully trust me; our Sun Moon Empire does not mistreat those who contribute."

"It is like this."

Zhong Kui recounted some of his experiences, though he omitted things that shouldn't be said, simply explaining how he became an alchemist and his desire to prevent his parents from being threatened or becoming his weakness.

"I see. I can certainly understand the security situation in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and I understand your thoughts. You want your parents to be safe so they don't become a weakness you can be threatened with; I understand that too. I promise you, as long as you bring your parents to the Sun Moon Empire and are willing to teach more talent the art of alchemy."

"I can guarantee, as the Hall Master of the Virtue Hall, that your parents will be safe, and their living conditions will be of the highest standard. If I, Jing Hongchen, break this oath, may my family be struck by lightning, may every member die a miserable death, and may my Red Dust Family be extinguished forever."

"Hall Master, you are a ruthless man, but I believe you. I will teach more people how to refine pills to repay the kindness you have shown me."

At this moment, Zhong Kui trusted the Sun Moon Empire even more; these people were truly willing to show sincerity to earn his trust.

"I'm so hungry. Forget it, I'll roast some fish. But then again, how should I make money? At Shrek Academy, there are indeed many shops where one can set up a stall to sell things, but the question is, what should I do?"

Huo Yuhao, as the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke of the Duke Mansion, looked at the pitiful amount of money he had on him. It was basically nothing, and he was never valued, so how could he have much money? Having even one Gold Soul Coin would be a miracle.

"Little Yuhao, it looks like you're worried about money. Don't worry, I have a way."

Tang Ya walked over at this moment. Seeing Huo Yuhao's worried expression, she understood what he was troubled by and told him directly what to do.

"Aren't you particularly good at roasting fish? Your roasting technique is so impressive, so I naturally know what to do. In Shrek City, there are areas where you can sell snacks and the like. You can sell your roasted fish there for about three copper coins each. With your fish being so delicious, many people will surely be willing to buy them. As long as you can earn a little more every day, tuition will definitely not be a problem."

Tang Ya: (●°u°●)"

"Little Junior Brother, that is indeed the case. The skill you can utilize right now is your roasting technique. Selling roasted fish is very convenient, and no one will come to cause you trouble."

"Besides, since it's delicious, many people will definitely come to buy it."

Beibei also walked over at this moment.
