Yang Chan looked at Zhao Yi’s expression and guessed his intentions.
Unfortunately, he was about to disappoint him.
"I’ve found the dicinal herbs I need. I’ll be heading out in a few days."
Yang Chan said calmly.
’Trying to drag into the Silver State mission? In your dreams.’
"What! Pharmacist Yang, you’re actually giving up on such a huge opportunity in Silver State?"
"You have to understand, in the Secret Realm that just appeared, there might even be thousand-year-old Top Level Spiritual Materials."
"I heard the Silver State Secret Realm is connected to a sect’s dicinal garden from a thousand years ago. There could be spiritual materials inside that can help one break through to the Martial Saint Realm, and you’re just giving up on it like that?"
Zhao Yi’s jaw dropped as he stared at Yang Chan in disbelief.
He had seen Yang Chan take on dangerous missions multiple tis, "actively" participating in places like Tan City and Taiyu City. He thought for sure Yang Chan wouldn’t miss this one.
In Zhao Yi’s mind, the reason Pharmacist Yang’s Pharmacist Ability had improved so quickly was because of those trips down the mountain. He believed Yang Chan had obtained a wealth of Cultivation Resources and used them to frantically refine Elixirs, which was how he’d achieved so much today.
Naturally, he wanted to learn from Yang Chan. He had recently failed again at refining the Lantian Jade Refining Pill and didn’t want to wait another year. He was determined to head to Silver State to acquire more Cultivation Resources.
More importantly, just by going to Silver State, they would be given so Cultivation Resources, including a Lantian Jade Refining Pill. He was in desperate need of one right now. His Cultivation was just one step away from breaking through to External Refining Steel, so of course he didn’t want to delay any longer.
Besides, after returning from Silver State, he could get a large amount of resources from the Sect. He could then continue his Alchemy and strive for a chance to go to White Jade City next ti, to experience the Capital City’s Twelve Floors and see the Capital City’s Twelve Beauties.
He was an ambitious man, so naturally, he worked even harder.
Also, Pharmacists going to Silver State wouldn’t personally venture into the Secret Realm. They would mostly handle logistics, like treating the wounded, which was relatively safe. This was another important reason for Zhao Yi.
He saw that Yang Chan—soone with weaker Cultivation who had beco a Pharmacist later than him—was continuously improving. Naturally, he also wanted to improve his Pharmacist Ability. Plus, he figured that since his Cultivation was higher than Yang Chan’s, he should be even safer.
"I’ve already spoken with the Hall Master. After I finish an external mission, I’m going to focus on advancing to Interdiate Pharmacist. I don’t have ti for the Silver State matter, so I’ll have to miss out on this opportunity."
As Yang Chan spoke, he put on a suitable look of regret.
He knew Zhao Yi’s personality. As long as he acted this way, the other man would surely stop trying to persuade him.
"I see. That’s a real sha. Looks like I’ll have to go by myself this ti."
"I was hoping to go with you, Pharmacist Yang. With our combined strengths, we could have handled any problems in the rear. Now, it’s all up to ."
"Next ti there’s an opportunity, I’ll definitely find you first, Pharmacist Yang. I won’t let you miss out on sothing like this again."
After hearing this, Zhao Yi felt it was a pity, but then his expression turned confident as he spoke.
An opportunity like a newly appeared Secret Realm naturally attracted many people. Even many Pharmacists from the Cyan Yuan Sect were drawn in, including so Interdiate Pharmacists.
Yang Chan knew of two Interdiate Pharmacists who had already confird they were going to Silver State. One of them was Gao Yuanlong, who had previously tried to take Yang Chan’s place on the trip to White Jade City. Gao Yuanlong had even later deliberately used his status as an Interdiate Pharmacist to take so of the materials for Elixirs Yang Chan was refining.
This person also wanted to obtain more rare dicinal herbs from the Secret Realm to improve his Alchemy ability, and he even hoped for a chance at so Alchemy inheritances.
After all, this Secret Realm was a dicinal garden. It was possible it contained Pharmacist-related inheritances, so naturally, people wanted to get their hands on them.
Yang Chan knew all this but didn’t care. A Pharmacist’s inheritance was useful, but he didn’t have one. As long as he could add points to his Pharmacist profession, he would one day create his own inheritance.
After all, every ti his Pharmacist profession leveled up, he would receive so mory inheritances or new knowledge. So, Yang Chan wasn’t in any hurry.
As for Gao Yuanlong, Yang Chan paid him no mind. He didn’t take such trivial matters to heart. Previously in the Sect, he had set up two traps in front of Gao Yuanlong’s door, which left the man covered in dust and thinking there was a problem with the ground.
The two traps were just empty pits underneath; there was no other danger.
’I’m a good person. How could I possibly harm soone?’
Therefore, Yang Chan wasn’t concerned about Gao Yuanlong at all. He even hoped that there was an inheritance in the Secret Realm and that Gao Yuanlong would get it. When that happened, he could just spend so Contribution Points to obtain it himself.
Sect Contribution Points were nothing to Yang Chan.
He could leave dangerous matters to people like Gao Yuanlong, while he reaped the final rewards.
Of course, it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t get anything either.
"Mm, we’ll see next ti."
"Since you’ve decided to participate in the Silver State Secret Realm mission, Pharmacist Zhao, I wish you all the best."
Yang Chan said with a smile.
Zhao Yi had already accepted the mission, so Yang Chan had no reason to stop him. Everyone is different, and he naturally respected the other’s choice.
Not everyone had the sa opportunity as Yang Chan. If he didn’t have his panel and Potential Points, Yang Chan might very well have been one of them. But now, he didn’t need to participate, so he naturally wouldn’t take the risk.
"Then thank you for your kind words, Pharmacist Yang."
"I’ll be leaving now. I need to find the other Pharmacists who are participating in the Silver State mission."
"Farewell!"
After learning about Yang Chan’s situation, Zhao Yi didn’t linger. He had sought out Yang Chan first because their relationship was relatively close; it was the natural choice.
He knew that Gu An held Yang Chan in high regard and had assud Gu An would definitely arrange for him to participate in the Silver State mission. He never expected Yang Chan to refuse, which naturally thwarted Zhao Yi’s plan.
If Yang Chan had also gone to Silver State, Gu An would have certainly arranged for soone to look after him. He could have tagged along and been looked after as well. The benefits would have been considerable, and the danger would have been less.
But since that opportunity with Yang Chan was gone, he naturally had to find other people. Going alone was not a good choice.
Looking out for each other could save one’s life at a critical mont.
"Take care!"
Yang Chan stood up to see him off. After watching Zhao Yi’s figure recede into the distance, he went straight back to his courtyard.
Yang Chan always felt that a place like a Secret Realm was unsafe. If he were currently a Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster, or even a National Guardian Martial Saint, he might consider exploring it to gather so opportunities and replenish his Alchemy materials.
But in White Jade City, after realizing that being an Inner Master was nothing special, he had beco even more cautious.
The appearance of a Secret Realm would definitely attract many experts. At that point, an Inner Master would be nothing, and it would be normal for them to perish.
Especially if chaos broke out, it was very likely many people would die. Yang Chan naturally had no desire to go.
As for Zhao Yi, he could only hope the man’s luck was good and that he wouldn’t encounter any fatal dangers.
