Chapter 212: New Case



" Greetings, Young Lord. How come you are here today."

" I have come to check the stocks of medicinal herbs. Here, take this." Jia Hao handed him a small list.

" Check how many herbs are there in our store?"

" Hmm, Most of them are pretty good herbs. Only two of them are highly valued medicinal herbs." Pharmacist Mo pondered for a moment before replying.

" We certainly have them in our stocks. However, I need you to specify the quantity, so I can purchase more in case you need it."

" I understand. Please prepare a batch of herbs. I am going to concoct something."

" Really?"

Pharmacist Mo couldn\'t help but become excited. With a single gesture, he summoned a few servants and asked them to bring the medicinal herbs,

" Now, I need a cauldron, three buckets of spring water, and the extract of all these medicinal herbs."

The medicinal servants nodded as they started their work. Jia Hao couldn\'t help but look at Pharmacist Mo.

" So, How does alchemy work? You also use the flamecloud crystals to concoct? What about using something like…Innate flames?"

" You mean true flames cultivated by internal qi?" Pharmacist Mo have a wry smile. " Young Lord, You must be joking. How can an old man like me can do that? Only Grandmaster Alchemists and Treasure Forgers can use true flames to refine things."

" Then what stage are you in?"

" There are various stages in a profession, like the martial arts realm. Servants, Apprentice, Master, Grandmaster, Kings and Saint."

" Haah, As for me, I am stuck in the Master stage." Pharmacist Mo sighed.

" Well, That means you are still more knowledgeable than most people?" Jia Hao chuckled. " I doubt there are many Alchemy Kings across the country?"

" I understand that. But, I feel I am falling far behind than my peers."

" Stuck at the Cai Family?" Jia Hao spoke in a joking tone. " Does Pharmacist Mo want to leave?"

" I can\'t, and I won\'t." Pharmacist Mo\'s expression was resolute. " First of all, I have made promise that I shall stay with the Cai Family forever."

" Besides, I am currently an old man with a foot inside the grave. Where can I go?"

" Unlike the rising young ones, my passion for alchemy is waning. Perhaps this store is better for my retirement."

\' Hmm, I was thinking of giving the Records of Myriad Herbs and Pills to Old Mo. But I guess, he won\'t be able to utilize it well. I need to find someone else.\'

Not long after, Jia Hao gotten all the extracts. He gathered them inside the room and asked everyone to leave.

[ Rejuvenation Super Drink (Orange Flavor): 1 Big Back of Orange Tang+ 200 ml extract of Black Spot Grass+ 50 gram of ginseng+ 50 Miracle Points]

[ Energy Recovering Chocolate: 1 bar of black chocolate+ 100 grams of Purple Root Grass+ 100 Grams of Century Ginseng+100 Miracle points]

Jia Hao jumped the ingredients in the Pot of Miracles and started to convert them into the Rejuvenation Super Drink. It was the same drink that saved the villagers of Anzu Village from the epidemic.

\' This drink can reduce physical fatigue and energize the body, making someone work faster and efficiently.\'

\' As for the chocolate, it can instantly recover the spent internal qi, making it more valuable. Let\'s go with the drink first. I need to stock up on them for the upcoming monster tide.\'

Not long after, Jia Hao came outside with a pot of orange water. The smell of fresh orange spread across the air, making everyone feel a bit sour in their mouth.

" This…Is this that drink you made back then?" Pharmacist Mo looked at Jia Hao with wide eyes.

" Hehe, What do you think, Elder Mo?" Jia Hao laughed as he passed the pot to them. " Here, everyone can drink a small cup."

" Especially servants, who have been working for long."

The medicinal servants and workers were stunned when they heard Jia Hao\'s words.

As they drank a cup, everyone\'s expression changed instantly.

" This…This tastes so good!"

" It\'s as if I am drinking the mandarin juice!"

" My body…It feels so energized!"

" Suddenly, the sun doesn\'t feel that hot anymore!"

Everyone felt their body bursting with energy as they looked at Jia Hao with grateful eyes.

Pharmacist Mo himself took a whole glass and couldn\'t help but smack his lips.

" Amazon! Truly an amazing thing! It can easily rejuvenate a physically exhausted person to the brim!"

" If it could mass supply, won\'t it be a drink to boos the efficiency of laborers?"

" Hoho, Elder Mo is correct. However, To mass produce, we need to research it a bit." Jia Hao replied.

If he wishes, he can indeed mass produce this. However, Jia Hao couldn\'t guarantee that it would go bad if it stayed outside.

After all, the Pot of Miracles can keep things fresh if they are put inside as if space and time were frozen.

But in outside? Who knows what sort of chemical reaction would occur?

\' Not to mention, Only I can bring the Tang powder here. Unless there is a substitute, I can\'t just waste all my Miracle Points to make these drinks.\'

" Elder Mo, you have already seen the effect of this drink, right?" Jia Hao smiled.

" I want you to gather the ingredients and send them to the Cai Family mansion in a day or two. Also, start gathering people who can easily tend to the injured."

" Young Lord? What do you mean by that?" Pharmacist Mo\'s eyes narrowed as he felt something was about to happen.

Jia Hao didn\'t deny nor confirm it.

" Elder Mo, It\'s not bad to remain cautious, yes?"

" Young Lord is right. I shall do whatever you say." Old Mo took a deep breath and nodded.

" You know what, Young Lord? This drink…It didn\'t just rejuvenate my body." Pharmacist Mo gave a grateful smile.

" It also made me realize that I can still improve even if I stay in one place."

" Young Lord, If you permit me, can I research on your drink? I want to experiment on it."

" Are you sure, Elder Mo?" Jia Hao was surprised. " It would be my pleasure."

" I have made quite a lot. So, feel free to use them and gain substantial results."

" Also, Please keep them sealed tight. You don\'t want them to be spoiled, yes?"

" Of course, Young Lord." Pharmacist Mo nodded.

Looking at the sky, Jia Hao sighed.

" Soon, something big about to happen. I want you to stay focused and handle it."

" Anyway, My task is over. I shall go back now."

But the moment Jia Hao walked out of the store, two guards stopped him.

" Guards of Yamen? What do you want from me?"

" Magistrate Cai has ordered us to bring you back to the Hall of Justice."

" What?"

Jia Hao was confused. But seeing the expression of the guards, He realized he couldn\'t say no.

" Fine, Lead the way." Jia Hao agreed reluctantly, knowing there must be something awful waiting for him in the Hall of Justice.

Not long after, as he arrived, the captain of the guard team greeted him.

" Third Captain salutes to Investigator Jia."

" Who said I am the investigator? I am just the Cai Family\'s son in law, alright?" Jia Hao glared at him.

" But, Magistrate Cai said you are an investigator though?" The third captain mumbled.

" Not to mention, I was very fascinated by how easily you handled the murder case last time. You even caught the Moonlight Rapist!"

" Fine fine, What is it? Why did you call me?" Jia Hao asked with a sigh.

" There are recent cases of sudden death in a village far away. The victims are dying and their blood is being sucked."

" It looks like it\'s the work of some demon. Unfortunately, we couldn\'t track it at all."

" So, You want me to go there and check for evidence? And solve the case?" Jia Hao rubbed his forehead.

" Why me? Aren\'t there others?"

" The other captains are busy with similar work." The third captain smiled.

" Not to mention, we got the permission from the magistrate."

" Haah…"

Jia Hao sighed when he heard that. " Father in law really put me in a tight spot, eh?"

" Where is this village?" Jia Hao asked.

" Near Nanhai Mountain."

" Wait, Nanhai Mountain, you say?" Jia Hao paused as he suddenly thought about something.

" Hmm, It\'s alright. Let\'s go now."

The third captain nodded as he guided Jia Hao to a carriage.

" What sort of demon do you think could it be?" Jia Hao couldn\'t help but ask.

" It must be from Nanhai Mountain. Maybe some beast gained sentiment and started killing people?"

" Or, it could be some dark monster, trying to increase its strength by devouring the blood of people?"

The demons are the native beasts who gain enlightenment from heaven and earth, making them intelligent.

Meanwhile, the dark monsters are the monsters who came from another world, through the gray mist and spatial crack.

\' That Alpha Green Eyed Wolf almost became a true demonic beast. Too bad it met us.\'

\' But gaining enlightenment and becoming a demon isn\'t a matter of strength only. It\'s a matter of chance, a chance from heaven.\'

\' With it, even a ten year old dog can become a demon. Without it, even a thousand year beast will remain a beast, although a rather ferocious beast.\'

\' But I am curious. What if… I get some clue about the monster tide from there?\'
