Gods: Start with Goblins

"Let's not talk about this. That young man's ability to refine pills is too amazing. A brother of mine bought a pill from him and said it was much better than the pills of the same level sold outside. Now, his business is about to burst. I don't know how many people are lining up to give him money!"

"Oh, I wonder if this young man has found a wife. I have a niece who is fifteen years old and very pretty..."

Before she could finish her words, someone laughed at her.

"Go, what kind of person is he? How could he possibly be interested in a country niece like you? You should just give up this idea!"

The auntie didn't get angry even when people laughed at her, because she knew she was overestimating herself.

However, she didn't look down on people who laughed at her and just retorted back.

"Why, my niece can't do it, do you think you can? Don't mention that you don't have that intention in your heart, it's just me who said it, it's just talk, what's the big deal."

Now, everyone else in the town couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Because they do have this idea, but they just don't say it as clearly as the aunt did.

To be honest, who wouldn’t want to be associated with someone as outstanding as Luodan?

During this period, there were many pretty girls who went to his shop to try to establish relationships with him, but unfortunately, none of them caught his eye.

"I really don't know who such a discerning person will look for in the future. Many pretty girls in the town have gone to him, but he didn't even glance at them."

"No matter what, she should be as pretty as the girl next to him. She is young, but she is very pretty. I'm afraid all the girls in this town put together are not as pretty as her."

Everyone thought carefully about Xiaobai's beauty and fell into a sweet silence.

I have to admit that although it is exaggerated, it seems to be true.

If you want to match Xiaobai's beauty, you probably have no chance.

Compared with Luodan's outstanding deeds, his alchemy ability is what the local talents value most.

The richest people in the area went there to buy the pills and were immediately impressed by the effects.

The family wanted some elixir that was not available in the store, so they came to Luodan.

"Shopkeeper, let's be frank and honest. I'm here to ask you to order a pill."

"custom made?"

Luo Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, finding this statement new.

"Yes, there are many kinds of medicine in the shopkeeper's shop. However, our master needs a special medicine. The shopkeeper doesn't have it here, and it can't be bought in many places. But we have a prescription. I wonder if the shopkeeper can make a furnace of pills himself. Of course, the price is negotiable."

When Luo Dan heard this, he stroked his chin and thought about it seriously.

Yes, making elixirs.

This kind of customized medicine is much more expensive than the one sold directly.

He took the recipe and took a look at it. It was indeed difficult, and some of the techniques in it were also very strange. No wonder he had never been able to practice it.

The servant of this wealthy family looked at him with anticipation in his eyes.

"How about it, shopkeeper? The price and everything else are negotiable. I wonder if you can make these pills?"

"Okay, since the owner is willing to spend such a large sum of money, I will take it."

"Ah, that's great. I'll trouble you next. Don't worry, we will pay for all the medicinal materials. You just need to produce the finished products. No matter what grade, as long as they are refined, we will take them all and buy them back at this price."

As he spoke, the person who came to contact him made a gesture, indicating that the price was not cheap.

After thinking about it, Luo Dan agreed without much thought.

"Okay, let's do it."

The family was so happy that they prepared the medicinal materials immediately.

And Lordan made another request.

"Please find me an open and quiet place, preferably a little hidden, so that it will be convenient for me to make the elixir. I don't like people watching."

"Understood, rest assured, shopkeeper, we will definitely take care of these things for you. As long as you can refine the elixir, we will cover all other conditions."

Alchemists generally have some quirks and some obsession with mysophobia.

If the other party does not have these, they will doubt the other party's professionalism.

This kind of elixir is extremely rare and difficult to refine, so Luo Dan's request seemed natural to this family.

It’s not even enough to coax someone, let alone refuse?
Seeing how diligent his men were, Luo Dan couldn't help but nod his head, feeling very satisfied.

As expected, they are the richest family, they are generous and magnanimous whenever they spend money.

Doing business with them is a sure win.

At this time, a figure in the crowd was quietly watching their transaction.

After hearing what Luodan said, the fifth elder showed a strange expression.

Yes, this person is none other than the fifth elder of the Wang family.

He was specially sent by the Wang family to monitor Luodan. Elder Lao was a man who particularly liked to show off his power and publicize his existence.

In this Luodan incident, he was the one who advocated war. When he heard that the family had no plans to attack for the time being, he was the first to oppose it and questioned it in the clan.

He had no idea that it was because he was meddling and making the other elders dislike him that they sent him away and assigned him this task.

The fifth elder was also unhappy about this job.

He is an elder, yet he has fallen to the point of monitoring people.

Moreover, the enemy who had destroyed the Wang family's reputation was right in front of him, but he could do nothing and could only watch him grow old. This was more painful than killing him.

The fifth elder was always indignant and had no good attitude towards Luo Dan.

However, he still had to do the surveillance. He also wanted to observe carefully how this kid could harm the branch. What abilities did he have?
Now hearing that this kid can make pills, the fifth elder was shocked.

After eavesdropping on their conversation, the fifth elder became even more curious about the matter.

He knew that the prescription was a very precious one.

No one has been able to refine it during this period. Can this kid really do it?

The fifth elder was puzzled, but that did not stop him from wanting to find out the truth and test this person's confidence.

Then he followed Luodan to the room arranged by the rich family.

Luo Dan dismissed everyone, but forgot about the fifth elder who had a magical weapon that could conceal his aura.

He quietly poked a small hole and observed what was going on inside.

Inside, Luo Dan had already prepared a series of medicinal materials and began to formally make the elixir.

First, he took out his own furnace and placed it in the middle.

The moment the fifth elder saw the cauldron appear, his eyes lit up.

He was not a short-sighted person. As soon as he saw the furnace, he also glimpsed the value of this thing.

Yes, this cauldron must be a good thing judging from its strong spiritual power.

Next, Luo Dan began to make the elixir.

His moves were decisive and quick, so the Fifth Elder could not see any details.

Because of this, I was slightly surprised at this man's talent.

This guy's talent is too amazing. He can process the medicinal materials so quickly and put them all into the alchemy furnace so quickly.

Is he so confident?
Facts have proved that people with abilities are so confident.

After a while, the fifth elder smelled a scent of medicine. Success? Success? It was successful so quickly!
The impact this had on the five elders was simply enormous.

From childhood to adulthood, we have been taught that alchemy is a profound skill.

If you don't have the same spiritual veins and talent, you won't be able to go far.

Even if you step into this door, there is still a long way to go.

Whether it's a furnace exploding or medicinal materials being destroyed, it's a common occurrence for alchemists.

But, but this kid succeeded so easily.

There was no trace of stress or even urgency on his face.

Moreover, his moves were quick and efficient, unlike some alchemists he had seen who had to carefully consider the proportions, which he did not need to do.

Even after a short while, the furnace of pills was successfully produced.

It is obviously a top-grade medicinal elixir, and it emits a little fluorescence.

The fifth elder's breathing became heavy.

There actually is such a fantastic kid with such a fantastic talent!
The fifth elder was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, and felt almost filled with bitterness.

At the same time, the remaining rationality in his mind also allowed him to discover a great treasure.

That furnace.

I didn't expect that this furnace could actually gather spiritual energy when refining the elixir. This has never happened before, and there has never been such a furnace.

If you get your hands on something like this, maybe you can go from a novice to an alchemy expert.

The Fifth Elder became more and more excited the more he thought about it, and he couldn't wait to snatch it away.

Even if he doesn't use it himself, but donates it to the clan, he can still be credited with a great achievement.

Who would dare to look down on him and assign him such an insignificant job?

The fifth elder completely forgot his initial disdain and began to imagine the wonderful life he would lead in the Wang family after snatching the furnace.

He must get something like this.

However, if possible, he still wanted to avoid the eyes and ears of his family.

After all, he would get nothing once he gave it to the family.

But if you use it secretly for yourself, you can make a lot of money.

For this reason, he knew that his family members were also watching him, so he abandoned his ties with his family and quietly changed his identity.

Using this identity, he took the initiative to come to Luodan's pharmacy, intending to get close to him.

"Young Master, I heard that you have completed the request for medicine from the wealthy family in this town. You are so young, but your ability to refine medicine is truly extraordinary!"

As he said this, his eyes were vaguely looking at him.

This kind of scrutinizing look made Luo Dan slightly dissatisfied.

At the same time, he also noticed that something was wrong with this person.

He received many customers, but this customer was different from the others.

Although he tried his best to cover it up, he still found it difficult to hide that hint of arrogance, which was a natural bad habit of those in a higher position.

This man must not be an ordinary old man as he dresses.

His identity must be unusual, and he has a bad temper.

He wanted to disguise himself as an ordinary old man to get close to him, but he was unwilling to condescend to him.

Luo Dan smiled. He was really an interesting person. He wondered what his purpose was.
Since he didn't know the other party's intentions for the time being, Luo Dan didn't mind dealing with him.

He lowered his eyelids and put on a humble and polite expression.

"You are really too kind. I wonder if this customer has any elixirs to make. The things in our store are of good quality and low price. Most importantly, the quality will reassure you. If the customer wants to trade with me, then there is no problem."

After hearing this, the fifth elder's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, which then quickly disappeared.

"Hahaha, to be honest, I am also an alchemist. If possible, I wonder if I can make friends with you. The pills you make are all top-notch. I think there are many things worth learning from you."

This was the first time that the Fifth Elder took the initiative to put aside his airs and get close to Luo Dan.

He even placed Luodan in a higher position for the first time.

In fact, by doing this, he can also make the other party relax their vigilance a little.

Luo Dan saw through it and knew that this person was lying on purpose.

However, he did not expose it, but nodded in agreement.

Haha, it’s getting more and more interesting. He wants to know what is the purpose of this old man approaching him?
At this moment, the little flower in the space suddenly woke up and reminded itself.

"Master, I sense a sense of malice. The person standing in front of you seems to have bad intentions towards you."

Perhaps because Xiaohua can absorb demonic energy, she has a strong sense of certain dark factors.

When you detect some outright malice, you can immediately alert Luodan.

When saying this, Xiaohua even moved her leaves.

"Master, do you want me to help you deal with this bad guy? I promise that I will suck all his blood and no one will find out."

After saying that, he made a very humane sound, looking like a little devil.

Rodan:......

"No need for now. Save this man's life. He still has some use. I need to observe why he approached me. Xiaohua, don't act rashly."

Xiaohua said "oh" and seemed a little disappointed, but didn't say much.

"Okay, but whenever the master wants to deal with this bad guy, you must hand it over to me. I can help the master deal with the aftermath."

Knowing that this was a greedy flower, Luo Dan curled his lips and didn't say much.

In the next few days, the five elders approached Luodan from time to time.

At first, he didn't reveal any intentions, as if he really came here to make friends.

However, he would try to find out about Luodan's background and situation, both openly and secretly.

Luodan knew this person's purpose and revealed a little.

Of course it wasn't the truth, it was a mixture of half truth and half lies, told to him according to what he liked.

Sure enough, the joy on this man's face gradually increased, and the evil in his eyes gradually increased.

Obviously, this person has some intentions and will implement them soon.

One day, the fifth elder suddenly came to him.

"My friend, I want to learn from you about alchemy, what do you think?"

Luo Dan's eyes flickered slightly. Is he here? And he's using the excuse of refining the elixir.

"of course."

He agreed without much hesitation.

After waiting for so long, this old man finally took action. He could finally reveal this man's true face and expose his background. (End of this chapter)
