Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 304 The Charm of Pills

I got up and headed to the club to prepare for the promotional event.

Along the way, they couldn't help but start thinking about the supply of raw materials for the future elixirs.

The availability of otherworldly herbs and elixirs is undoubtedly a major problem. Although many raw materials can be replaced with plant-based materials, Yaoyang City does not have any rifts in the plant dimension, so it needs to be imported from other cities.

The second sister-in-law from the Insect Realm can provide some plant-based materials, but the supply is not stable.

In addition, due to the unique nature of the Huaxia Realm Scroll, a large number of spiritual herbs, medicines, and plant-based monster materials will be needed in the future.

If we could set up a plant-themed portal in the club, that would be the best thing ever.

The plant realm is also the place where the most spiritual herbs and medicines are produced.

"By the way, can Hero Points be used to buy interdimensional portals?"

Upon arriving at the club, the first thing to do is visit the Hero Points Exchange Shop.

Unfortunately, there is no related service.

After some searching, it seems that only club points can be used to apply for construction.

"Huh? What a coincidence!"

I wanted to check out the Plant Otherworld quests in the Extermination Quest System.

Unexpectedly, this month's Special Class Extermination just happened to take place in the largest known plant-based alternate dimension.

[Green Abyss - Special Challenge]

Target: Abyss King Fungus (Lord - Level 50)
Rewards: 1000 Club Points, Green Abyss Portal (equivalent to 1000 Hero Points)
There are many known plant-based alternate dimensions, varying in size, with the Green Abyss being the largest and most mysterious, followed by the Green Desert.

The Alliance chose to launch the Special Expedition in the Green Abyss because a dimensional rift to the Green Abyss exists in Tianfeng Province.

However, it's only the first ten days of the month, and there's still a long way to go before the special-grade subjugation competition.

Before that, you can take on a few small tasks to explore the Green Abyss and get used to it.

I heard that place is quite terrifying and scary.

"Looks like there'll be some fun to do at the end of the month."

Next, I browsed the Hero Points Shop for herbs, elixirs, and high-level plant-based materials, and I was really itching to buy them.

Unfortunately, he was short of money, and even his master's sister's hero points were almost gone.

I feel like I need to train a group of players to push through the Hero Tower in the future, so I can earn some Hero Points for myself.

Climbing the tower alone yields too little benefit; you still need the collective effort.

So, I promptly posted an announcement in the club group: "Long-term, high-price acquisition of hero points, brothers, keep it up."

The club members reacted strongly.

"Uh, I tried it a couple of days ago, and the highest I could get was the fifth floor."

"Angkor needs us, brothers, we must give it our all!"

"By the way, what price is the vice president planning to offer?"

"It would be great if we could directly exchange for Encounter Fate."

"Let's stick with spirit crystals. The price of medicines has skyrocketed recently, and we're relying on spirit crystals to make do."

Although spirit crystals can be used to temporarily replenish spiritual power, their effect is ultimately not as good as medicine.

Spirit Crystals essentially speed up the normal mana regeneration process, while recovery potions provide a fixed amount of mana regeneration. This is fine for low-difficulty trials, but recovery potions become crucial in high-difficulty scenarios.

Especially for these club members who are risking their lives.

Relying on the club's powerful influence, they are either taking risks or on the path to taking risks.

Soaring drug prices have made them much more hesitant.

Seeing this, Wu Xian decisively replied, "That's a good idea. We can create a page on the official website where you can exchange Hero Points for Encounter Fate. You can also exchange them directly for Spirit Crystals and Spirit Essence."

However, I have temporarily overcome the problem of restoring the medication.

"Brothers, you can really let loose and run wild from now on."

This statement caused a stir in the group chat. "What? Brother Wu has even learned spiritual medicine making?"

"And they're already able to produce recovery-related medicines?"

"Uh, can the product keep up with just the vice president alone?"

"As far as I know, those manufacturers of spiritual medicines are all family businesses, and their production is still very limited."

"By the way, how effective is Angkor's medicine? Is it basic, intermediate, or advanced?"

"Why don't you try it and see?"

While chatting in the group, Wu Xian walked over to the network operations department.

Since the [Super Central Hub] was set up, Director Du and his team of technicians have been incredibly excited.

In addition, a maintenance worker was stationed at the Mechanical Dojo. He seemed to be an older brother from the main branch of the Tang family and was highly respected by Supervisor Du and others.

"Vice President, do you have any instructions?" Manager Du asked as he approached.

"Let's hold a gratitude and reward event," Wu Xian said, taking out a Rubbing Rejuvenation Pill. "Just design a simple illustration. Every ten pulls will come with an extra Rejuvenation Pill. Each user can only claim it once."

"A Rejuvenation Pill?" Manager Du and the others were completely bewildered. "What's it for?"

"Recovery medicines," Wu Xian said with a smile, "have a similar effect on restoring spiritual energy as high-grade spiritual energy recovery fluids, and can also restore some of the blood and energy of the battle-worn spirits."

Upon hearing this, the entire network department fell silent.

The Tang family staff who were doing maintenance and debugging in the distance were also drawn over. "Similar to high-grade spiritual energy recovery fluid? It can even restore the life force of a battle-ready spirit? Master Wu, are you serious?"

Wu Xian casually tossed one to him, "Want to try some?"

"This kind of advanced medicine must have a low production volume, right?"

Tang Xuchuan, a staff member of the Tang family, was thrilled after tasting it.

Although the Mechanical Dojo is a large and powerful organization that has incorporated many spiritual medicine-making families under its command, it has not yet been affected by the soaring drug prices.

However, recovery medicines have always been a top priority for their mechanical dojo.

After all, mana is equivalent to "ammunition and firepower" for them. Many mechanical scrolls' shells and firepower are major mana consumers.

Therefore, for mechanical spirit masters, recovery medicines have always been a valuable commodity.

If you don't keep some high-grade psionic recovery fluid on hand, you'll develop a "fear of insufficient firepower".

"The price is a bit cheaper than high-grade psionic recovery fluid. As long as the material supply keeps up, we can have as much as we need," Wu Xian said with a smile.

"What?" Tang Xuchuan was dumbfounded.

The people from the network department present all wore expressions of disbelief.

At least in their and the public's perception, only some primary and intermediate-level drugs have achieved industrial-scale mass production.

Advanced medicines must be personally prepared by spiritual pharmacists, and their production has always been very limited.

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you, my medicine is a little different from the spiritual medicines of today,” Wu Xian explained with a light laugh. “Essentially, it is a kind of scroll. What I just showed you is a rubbing of this scroll.”

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.

Upon hearing the words "rubbing," everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

"Good heavens, weren't they saying that medicine isn't suitable for making picture scrolls?"

"As expected, it really takes Brother Wu's help!"

"I now have serious suspicions that those pharmacists have been deceiving the public all along."

"Wow, a medicine scroll! It feels like I won't have to worry about medicine at all anymore!"

"I just don't know what the cost will be."

"Oh right, cost is also a big problem."

Unlike the shock and heated discussion among other members of the network department, Tang Xuchuan was more direct.

After swallowing hard, he immediately dialed the numbers of Sister Tiao and Tang Qingxuan, "Hey~ Sister Tiao, and Qingxuan, come to the network department right away! It's urgent!"
