Regeneration Potion, So Let's Make a Bigger Scene
Imina, wearing brown high boots, strode with her slender legs and sat down in front of Tang Zheng without any pretense.
Clang! A bulging money bag was placed on the stone table, causing it to shake.
"Here are 61 Silver Coins and seven Copper Coins. The 100 Healing Potions you gave me have all been sold. This is all the money."
When Imina mentioned the amount of money, her throat moved slightly, but her expression remained cool.
"So fast? It's only been one night," Tang Zheng said, glancing at the money bag in surprise.
Imina blinked, her amber eyes showing a strange look. "You've been here the whole time, so you don't know how popular the Healing Potions you make are in the North Market."
"Except the taste is a bit strange, with a fishy smell."
Speaking of this.
Imina glanced sideways at the weakened Ogre tied to the stone chair.
This was definitely the most profitable business she had ever seen. All it took was extracting the Ogre's blood, and then... many Healing Potions could be made! Well.
Thinking like this was indeed a bit offensive to the Alchemist in front of her, but the Ogre's blood could regenerate continuously.
Compared to those herbs that needed to be collected and prepared, it was practically free!
Tang Zheng noticed Imina's gaze and smiled softly.
He could guess what she was thinking.
Speaking of which.
This Ogre was accidentally obtained after Imina, as an intermediary, recommended it to him.
Tang Zheng originally planned to use the remaining two baskets of herbs in the Item Box. After encountering this Ogre, he suddenly thought that since the Hanging Spider's Poison Sac could be used to make Alchemic Potions.
Could the blood of an Ogre, which naturally possessed powerful regenerative abilities, also be used to make potions? He didn't expect to actually succeed.
"To correct you, it's not a Healing Potion, it's an Alchemic Potion. The accurate name is 'Regeneration Potion'."
Tang Zheng reminded, reaching out to take the money bag, grabbing the bottom, and pouring all the coins onto the stone table.
Clink~ Clink~ Clink~ A large number of Silver Coins mixed with a few Copper Coins emitted a flowing silver luster under the sunlight.
Imina subconsciously stared at the rolling Silver Coins on the table.
"According to the previous agreement, eleven Silver Coins are your reward, and these seven Copper Coins are for your trouble."
Tang Zheng separated a portion of the Silver Coins and pushed them in front of Imina, then put the remaining Silver Coins into the money bag.
From the beginning.
Tang Zheng didn't really think about making money. His real purpose was to quickly increase his reputation, so as to attract Renners, who had been trying to heal her rotting face due to a curse.
Given her situation, she would definitely try as long as there was hope! In the future, Renners would join the Empire's Four Knights, essentially to find a way to cure her curse, and even publicly stated that if she could cure the curse, she would not hesitate to attack the Bloody Emperor.
Imina looked at the Silver Coins in her hand, and a smile appeared on her cool face.
"How many potions do you have left? I can take them all," Imina's amber pupils gleamed.
"Are you short on money?"
Tang Zheng didn't answer directly, but asked instead. "Of course," Imina leaned back slightly, her slender upper body relaxed, and said calmly.
As a half-elf born from the marriage of a Wood Elf and a human, she was not well-received by either the elves or the humans.
At least money wouldn't betray her.
"You should be being watched now, too," Tang Zheng smiled.
"So what?"
Imina raised her chin indifferently. "I'm just an intermediary. The real problem is with you."
"Your 50 Gold Coins weren't spent in vain. This is the noble district, separated from the Imperial Capital by only a central square. Even if someone wants to cause you trouble, they wouldn't dare to do anything here."
"So let's make an even bigger scene," Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
Imina was stunned.
"What you need to worry about now isn't whether you have the potion, but whether the ogre's blood is enough."
Tang Zheng raised his hand and pointed to the weak ogre tied to the stone chair on the side, reminding her, "You don't really think the ogre's recovery ability is unlimited, do you?"
"I'll figure something out."
Imina bit her lip and nodded forcefully.
She didn't want to give up such a rare opportunity to make big money.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Imina," Tang Zheng said.
The half-elf Imina in front of him, as a local, was much more convenient to work with than an outsider like him.
Speaking of which...
This half-elf's future was a bit tragic.
According to the timeline, she should join a worker team called the 'Four Strategists' in two years, with the idea of "wanting to earn more money."
The so-called "worker team" can be understood as adventurers who have not joined the Adventurer's Guild, are not subject to any restrictions, and can freely accept any commission according to their preferences and money.
As a result...
They became an insignificant group of sacrifices between the Bahharuth Empire and the Bone King's Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Imina and the leader of the worker team were filled with insect eggs by the fifth floor's Evil Lord of Gluttony, the Insect King, and used as nest materials for the swarm.
Another Shrine Priest was subjected to memory manipulation experiments by the Bone King, his memory wiped clean, turning him into a complete waste of a person.
The most tragic was a girl named Arshe from the 'Four Strategists', whose entire body was reasonably utilized.
Her vocal cords were given to Entoma, one of the Pleiades, her head to a high-hatted demon, her arms were divided equally by struggling undead, and her skin was taken away by Demiurge.
The distribution was really reasonable! A hint of coldness flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes. This wasn't just a matter of being tragic.
But rather, there was an irreconcilable contradiction from the beginning between the living and the dead, represented by the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
"Hey, what's with that look?"
Imina suddenly felt a chill in the air for no reason. She actually felt a dangerous aura from the Alchemist in front of her.
This made Imina's eyes reveal surprise and doubt. She realized that her previous judgment of Tang Zheng might have been wrong.
"It's nothing."
"It's just that I need to trouble you with one more thing. Investigate which adventurers or worker teams have suffered serious injuries to their bodies and have disabilities?"
"Just say that I've created a more effective Alchemic Potion that they can try for free treatment."
Tang Zheng's expression returned to a gentle look, and he spoke softly.
"N-no problem." Imina glanced at Tang Zheng cautiously. No matter how she looked at him, he didn't seem like a powerful person.
But the feeling just now couldn't be wrong.
Imina didn't stay any longer, put on her Black Robe again, and agilely climbed over the wall and disappeared.
...
Imperial Arena.
Inside a luxurious room filled with various exquisite weapons.
The Bahharuth Empire's number one merchant, Osk, looked at the potion on his desk, somewhat silent.
A long while passed.
The great merchant Osk slowly opened his mouth, "Is the identification information of this potion accurate?"
"The Apothecaries from various workshops in the Imperial Capital have already identified it, and the conclusions are the same. This is an Alchemic Potion made with ogre blood as the main ingredient."
"The specific craftsmanship is unknown. The potion shops in various workshops have suffered a lot of losses due to the appearance of this potion," the middle-aged man dressed as a butler reported in a low voice.
The great merchant Osk didn't seem to care about the losses of the potion workshops. Instead, he hesitated and asked, "Does the Martial King know?"
"He knows."
The middle-aged butler's voice trembled.
I had something to do tonight that delayed me a bit. There will be two updates for today for now.
