The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 914: Verity The Pills

"Are we allowed to accept this?" Lou Man looked at the glass jars in Lou Qian’s hands with hesitation.

"Dad, I am going to get these things checked first." Lou Qian said firmly.

"Is that really necessary?" Lou Man asked, feeling doubtful.

"Dad, we don’t know whether these pills are real or fake. We need to be careful before consuming anything." Lou Qian stated seriously.

"I don’t think she would give us fake pills. She is a student from Tianlong School. Not to mention, she paid the money and even added extra." Lou Man replied.

"I don’t care. I will go and verify these pills first. Only then can we safely consume them." Lou Qian said stubbornly without backing down.

Because of Bai Xifeng’s order, Lou Man had asked his kitchen staff to work all night long. Therefore, Lou Man decided to close the shop for the day and give the exhausted kitchen staff a day off.

Despite his reluctance to have the pills checked, Lou Man still followed his son. Together, they went to visit a well-known pill shop in the city.

Lou Qian told the shopkeeper that he had several pills that needed to be appraised. The shopkeeper informed him that he had to pay the appraisal fee first before the appraiser could be summoned. Lou Qian did not hesitate for a moment and immediately paid the required fees.

After that, they had to wait for the appraiser to arrive. About fifteen minutes later, the appraiser finally came over. They were then invited into a private room.

"Where are the pills?" the appraiser asked calmly.

Lou Qian carefully presented the two glass jars to the appraiser.

"I was told by someone that this one is a Spiritual Gathering Qi Pill, and this other one is a breakthrough pill." Lou Man explained.

The appraiser’s eyes flickered slightly when he heard the words ’breakthrough pill’.

"Allow me to examine them first." The appraiser said.

Lou Man nodded in agreement. The appraiser opened the first glass jar that contained the Spiritual Gathering Qi Pills. The moment he opened the jar, a rich and refreshing fragrance quickly spread throughout the entire room. The appraiser was stunned. Judging from the scent alone, he could already tell that these were high-rank pills.

"Where did you obtain these pills?" The appraiser asked.

"We got them from one of our customers." Lou Man replied honestly.

"You are truly fortunate. These are high-rank Spiritual Gathering Qi Pills," the appraiser said after examining the pills carefully one by one.

Lou Man and Lou Qian looked at each other in shock. They had not expected the pills to be genuine, much less high-rank.

"Then, what about the other pills?" Lou Qian asked eagerly.

He was far more interested in the breakthrough pill.

The appraiser was also extremely interested in the breakthrough pill. When he opened the second glass jar, another strong and powerful fragrance drifted out.

"This... this... Did your customer mention what kind of pill this is?" The appraiser asked with visible surprise.

"I think she said it was a Breaking Barrier Pill." Lou Man stated.

The appraiser immediately went silent and became much more focused as he carefully examined the pills. After a while, he finally placed the pills back down on the table.

"As your customer stated, this is indeed a Breaking Barrier Pill, and these are also high-rank pills. May I know who your customer is? Could you introduce me to that person?" The appraiser admitted that the pills were genuine and also expressed his desire to meet the person who had given them the pills.

"Why do you want to know that person?" Lou Man asked cautiously.

"That person must be an alchemist. A very skilled and talented alchemist. Otherwise, he would not casually give away high-rank pills to ordinary people. I want to contact him and invite him to become a pill supplier for this shop." The appraiser explained.

Lou Qian and Lou Man looked at each other once again. After thinking about it for a moment, they decided that they should tell the truth.

"Sir, we received these pills from our customer. But we do not think she is the alchemist who made them." Lou Man said honestly.

"Impossible. As I said earlier, that person must be an alchemist. Otherwise, he would not casually give away such valuable pills. Don’t tell me that you simply don’t want to reveal who he is?" The appraiser said coldly.

"No... no... Sir... We received them from a girl. She is a student from Tianlong School. So I assumed she obtained the pills from the school." Lou Man quickly explained the truth.

The appraiser thought about it carefully. ’When does Tianlong School give high-rank pills to their students? And even high-rank breakthrough pills..."

Gradually, he came to the conclusion that the girl herself must be a high-rank alchemist.

"Tell me her name." The appraiser requested.

"We don’t know her full name. We only know her surname." Lou Qian replied.

"What is it?" The appraiser asked.

"Bai. Her surname is Bai." Lou Qian answered.

"I see... I will ask someone from the school. Thank you for connecting us to such a skilled alchemist." The appraiser said.

Lou Qian and Lou Man nodded. They took the pills back and stored them safely. They felt nervous because the pills were extremely valuable.

The appraiser was very pleased with the information he had obtained. If the information was true, it might be easy for him to locate and recruit that alchemist. That girl must be young and, therefore, easier to negotiate with.
