Soros' request

  Soros gazed deeply at Xiaoming, like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey. He waved his hand and shouted: "Bring me the best beef and fine wine! Today I'm treating!" As he spoke, he looked at Xiaoming with an almost flattering gaze, "Xiaoming little brother, what would you like to eat?"

  What's going on?

  Xia Ming pondered, how did Lan Ning know that she was proficient in magic potions, and why did Sorros know that she was proficient in magic potions with such an attitude?

  The tavern delivered the best beef and fine wine at the fastest speed, the tempting aroma of food made people's fingers move, Xiaoming was eating without any politeness, after all, Soros was a big thief, killing him for a meal didn't matter, it was just robbing the rich to help the poor.

  Soros smiled and looked at Xiaoming, rubbing his hands excitedly: "Xiaoming little brother, I heard you are proficient in pharmacology?"

  "What's wrong?" Xia Ming asked back.

  "Hey, I don't know if you little brother can refine the 【Magic Source】 potion?" Soros asked with a warm smile.

  Elixir of Mana Source!

  Xia Ming touched his nose and found it was another source of magical power medicine. He smiled: "Okay."

  Upon hearing Xia Ming's affirmative answer, both Lan Ning and Soros' eyes lit up. Soros even burst into loud laughter, heavily slapping the table: "Haha, I'm finally saved!"

  Xia Ming looked at Soros' exaggerated movements and asked: "What's 'finally saved'?"

  "Haha, I'm here to explain." Lan Ning smiled mischievously, pointing at Soros and saying, "This old rascal thought he was the only one who could steal anything in the world, but he got a little itchy and stole from the biggest underground force on Flame Island, the Black Dragon Union!"

  "He stole ordinary things and that's it, but what he stole was the magic source medicine prepared by Sius, the boss of the Black Dragon Union, for his own son!"

  "Haha, that old man Shu is quite wise, but his son has a congenital deficiency in magic. After more than 20 years of cultivation, he's only a second-level magician. Shu had high hopes for his son and spent a lot of effort on him. That one bottle of precious Magic Source medicine was meant to boost his son's magical level, but it was ruined by this old scoundrel..."

  Wait!

  Heilong Union, Xius... this string of words is so familiar. Xiaoming's heart moved, Ah! That time at the Wanyang Auction House bidding for the Magic Source Potion against that mysterious black-robed man wasn't Xius, was it?!

  No wonder Shu was so generous in competing for the source of magic medicine, it turned out to be for his son to break through the magical shackles.

  "So you're now being hunted by the Black Dragon Union?"

  Soros smiled wryly, his old face slightly red.

  Xia Ming was somewhat curious: "Since being wanted, wouldn't it be fine to just return the Magic Source Potion?"

  "Haha, don't mention it, that old scoundrel last time got drunk and drank the medicine thinking it was wine..." Lan Ning said with schadenfreude.

  Xia Ming: "......"

  He's too talented and extravagant to drink the Source of Magic potion like wine.

  "So you need me to refine a bottle of Source of Magic potion?"

  Who would have thought that Soros shook his head, drooling and leaning in: "I don't have the materials to refine the source of magic! Xiaoming little brother, let's make a deal, recently Suisui that guy searched all over the entire Flame Island for pharmacists, set up a pharmacist conference, its purpose... heh heh... is for his son who was born with useless magic!"

  "Shu's boastful words were: as long as someone can win the Medicine King Conference, he will give a big reward. If someone can cure his useless son's magical deficiency, there will be an extra big gift! Xiaoming little brother, how about it? Are you interested?"

  Xia Mingxin understood that although he was motivated, the Cang Yan Island was so vast and hidden with dragons and tigers, wanting to make a name for himself at the Medicine Assembly wouldn't be that easy.

  Seeing Xia Ming didn't seem to be excited, Soros added fuel to the fire and mysteriously said: "Younger brother Xia Ming, do you know what the greatest reward for being first in the Medicine Assembly is?"

  "What is it?" Tang Ge couldn't help but ask first, his mouth watering as he listened.

  "A mine! A mine with a large ore vein, north of the Blazing Island, in the Shadow Forest, it's said to have several magma crystal ore veins inside!" Sorros tempted.

  A mine!

  Not just Tang Ge, even Xia Ming's eyes lit up, Lava Crystal Mine!

  Molten Crystals are a type of magical ore that contains rich fire-elemental magic, which can assist mages in cultivating fire-elemental magic.

  But this is enough to make Xia Ming's heart move, a mine, its value can't be estimated at all. The old man of the Black Dragon Union, Sius, really spent a lot of money, it's really pitiful for parents all over the world.

  "How about it, Xiaoming little brother? Are you interested? This is a great opportunity. If you benefit from it, then help me put in a good word for me in front of Shi Yu later!"

  Xia Ming smiled but didn't speak, and after a moment of silence asked: "When does that pharmaceutical conference start?"

  "A week later, the location will be at the Azure Flame Academy! Don't worry, little brother, I'll take care of everything else. Just go there directly and leave the trivial matters like registration to me!" Sorros said with a reassuring pat on his chest, narrowing his eyes.

  Xia Ming thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

  The Pharmacist's Conference, first to try my luck and see if I can get Su's "generous gift", secondly it's also a good opportunity to understand the pharmacists of this world. After obtaining pharmaceutical knowledge and skills from the Eternal Book, Xiaoming hasn't communicated with the pharmacists of this world yet!

  "Haha, it's settled then! See you again in a week!"

  Soros clapped his hands in delight, then walked out of the tavern with Old Lan Ning, shoulder to shoulder, exchanging whispers and bursts of laughter that drew curious glances.

  An old swindler, an old lecher. These two people really made Xiaoming somewhat incomprehensible, and Xiaoming vaguely felt that Soros' purpose was probably not just to get Xiaoming to attend the pharmaceutical conference so simply.

  But since he couldn't see through it, Xia Ming didn't bother to think about it either. After all, when the car reaches the mountain, there will be a road, who cares?

  ……

  "Let's go too." Xiaoming smiled and patted Tang Ge on the shoulder.

  "Good, now that you've come to our academy, we'll have more opportunities to interact. That Sherlock guy is always saying he wants to learn magic from you, so let's get closer in the future..."

  Tang Ge's face floated with a hint of ambiguity: "It just so happens that you, brother, are cultivating magic in the Qingyun Tower. In the future, be sure to bring me some information about Master Freya..."

  Xia Ming couldn't help it, just as the two were about to leave the wine shop, they were stopped by a fiery and curvaceous young waitress from the wine shop.

  The sultry waitress batted her eyelashes and said in a sweet tone, "You two, those two customers who just left didn't pay yet. They said to put it on your tab. The top-grade steak and fine wine together come out to be 50 gold coins, thank you!"

  “……”

  "Damn it, these two old bastards, next time I see them I'll kill them!" Tang Ge let out a loud shout.
