Chapter 89 Potions
When Wendy was a few meters away from Huang Hong, she slowed down, straightened her clothes slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Hello, I am Wendy from the Purchasing Department of the Pharmacists' Guild. It's a pleasure to serve you."
"You're celebrating too soon!"
A certain internet meme flashed through Huang Hong's mind. He remained outwardly calm and responded with a smile, "Thank you for your help."
Led by Wendy, the two entered the Apothecary Guild.
Wendy didn't propose a deal right away. Instead, she said, "Mr. Hong, before we make a deal, let me help you get a membership. Once you become a guild member, you can enjoy many benefits."
Huang Hong readily agreed, but asked with some curiosity, "Can I become a member of your guild directly? I thought I had to obtain the medicinal herbs you offered as a bounty and trade with you first."
Wendy smiled and said, "While that is true, our Apothecary Guild isn't that heartless. Since you brought Blood Ginseng with you, it means you have the intention to trade, so you are naturally qualified to become our member."
"In that case, the order doesn't matter that much."
Huang Hong nodded slightly.
The Apothecaries Guild has special bounties for many rare medicinal herbs, and the credits offered for these bounties are actually consistent with the market price in Dragon Fortress.
The more bounties you complete, the higher your membership level in the Apothecary Guild will be, and the higher your membership level, the greater the benefits you will enjoy.
In fact, this is just imitating the credit rating system of Fortress Network, except that the membership levels are divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced.
The reason the Apothecary Guild created this system was simply to collect rare medicinal herbs.
The membership application process was simpler than I imagined. After all, this is a world where technology and magic coexist, and the authentication can be completed directly on your wristwatch.
With this membership certification, Huang Hong can not only remotely connect with the Apothecary Guild within the communication range of the Dragon Fortress, but will also be able to freely enter and exit the Apothecary Guild headquarters in the future.
After doing all that, the next step is to trade.
In an elegantly furnished room, Wendy laid out the drinks and refreshments and then waited quietly.
After carefully reviewing the membership benefits, Huang Hong discovered that if he wanted the top pharmacists in the Pharmacist Guild to provide him with customized medicine services, he had to become a senior member first.
However, if you are only buying some rare potions, there are different access levels for beginner and intermediate levels.
Bringing himself back to reality, Huang Hong said to Wendy, "I recently acquired a batch of blood ginseng, and I've come here to conduct a related transaction with the Apothecary Guild."
Wendy was delighted to hear this. People who come to trade with the Apothecary Guild usually have a lot of rare medicinal herbs on the list, but occasionally there are people who specifically buy one or two rare medicinal herbs just to freeload as members.
Of course, the Pharmacist Guild treats both groups equally and will never discriminate against them.
However, for the purchasing department, the former is a major client, while the latter is basically a waste of time, so they naturally prefer the former.
Under Wendy's increasingly gentle gaze, Huang Hong took out the blood ginseng one by one. However, he did not take out all of them. Apart from the ordinary quality ones, he only took out twenty high-quality blood ginsengs, leaving twelve in his hand.
In any case, such treasures are easy to convert into cash. Whether you eat them directly in a crisis or hand them over to the Apothecary Guild to be made into recovery potions, both are good options.
After a professional appraisal, Wendy said, "Dear Hong, the batch of blood ginseng you brought out is worth a total of 1030000 credits. Based on your contribution points, you have been automatically upgraded to a senior member of this guild, and the corresponding benefits have been updated."
Huang Hong waved his hand, then opened the virtual screen to check the potions he could currently redeem.
In an instant, all sorts of potions appeared before him. Just by looking at their names, one could tell that some were magical, some were technological, and many others were from other systems.
Huang Hong blocked out all the basic potions and started looking at the intermediate ones directly...
【Aoki Rejuvenating Medicine】
Materials: Thousand-year-old tree spirit sap, nano-repair gel, low-level healing runes
Effects: After drinking, it restores a large amount of vitality in a short time, has the effect of limb regeneration, and can clear poisoning and burning conditions.

[Steel Reinforcing Agent]

Effects: Increases strength and bone density, enhancing overall defense.
Side effect: If perfect coordination is not achieved, agility will be slightly reduced.
……
All the medicines were recorded in great detail, including not only the main ingredients but also their specific effects and side effects.
The purpose of writing down the main ingredients is simple: to let the members collect them themselves. In any case, the specific refining methods and various auxiliary materials are all in the hands of the apothecaries, and they are not afraid of the prescription being leaked.
In fact, one of the main ingredients of a potion like the Soul Healing Balm is another potion. If you want to make the Soul Healing Balm, you can't bypass the 'Kexis Tranquilizer Type III'.
Of course, since these potions are listed, the Apothecary Guild naturally sells finished products directly, but the price is at least four or five times the cost, and some more precious and rare potions can be more than ten times the cost.
Huang Hong's eyes quickly scanned the catalog, and he finally selected two high-grade potions he needed...
【Four Elements Harmonizing Agent】
Materials: Azure Dragon Vine Juice (wind element carrier); Basalt Powder (earth element stabilizer); Vermilion Bird Feathers (fire element catalyst); White Tiger Bone Extract (metal element enhancer).
Effect: After taking the medicine, the four basic attributes will be slowly improved under the harmony of the four elements, and the body will also have 'four elements balance'.
Side effects: If the balance of the four elements is disrupted, it will lead to an imbalance of elements in the body and trigger an elemental upheaval.
【Star Pulse Resonance Dew】
Materials: Meteorite dust, ley line essence, neural resonance nanorobots
The effects include nourishing the body and mind with star pulses after consumption, slowly improving the four basic attributes, slightly increasing energy recovery speed, and activating 'star pulse sensing'.
Side effects: The medicine is only effective if the patient is grounded and can sense the stars; flying high into the sky or burrowing underground will disrupt the nourishment from the stars and render the medicine ineffective.
