Chapter 2238 - Number One Pharmacist (2)
Chapter 2238: Number One Pharmacist (2)
It wasn’t only because of their similarity as the top pharmacist of the two races, but also because of their
approachable disposition that Shen Yanxiao was made to feel a little more cordial with Master Mumu Fan,
the one who held the title of the number one pharmacist in Storm Continent.
If it were Master Ye Qing, he should also be this kind and amiable.
When it came to the topic of pharmaceutics, Shen Yanxiao was most grateful to Ye Qing, because without
his guidance, she did not know how many detours she would have had on the road of pharmaceutics, nor
could she reach the level of Master Pharmacist in such a short period of time.
Ye Qing not only helped her grow as a pharmacist, but also gave up his superior environment at Holy
Roland School in order to support her construction in the Barren Land. Together with Yun Qi, she came to
the turbulent Barren Land, taught her people about pharmaceutics and trained the rst group of
pharmacists for the Barren Land.
Shen Yanxiao’s gratitude to Ye Qing had been dicult to express in words.
And now, seeing Mumu Fan who was somewhat similar to Ye Qing, her eyes could not help but have a trace of a nostalgic smile.
This slight change in Shen Yanxiao’s expression fell right into Mumu Fan’s eyes. Mumu Fan looked at Shen
Yanxiao with a gentle smile and said, “Who might this be?”
Gege Lu immediately answered, “This is Momo Xiao, a new member of our guild.”
“Have we met before?” Mumu Fan felt that the way this fellow looked at him was like looking at a friend
she had known for many years, but then again, Mumu Fan thought that her eyes were very unfamiliar. It
was indeed a very complex feeling.
Shen Yanxiao was slightly stunned for a moment; only then did she realize that she had gradually
overlapped Mumu Fan and Ye Qing, and subconsciously looked at Mumu Fan how she usually looked at
Ye Qing.
“I’m sorry, it’s just that Master Mumu Fan, you’re a lot like my master, so I…” In the face of Mumu Fan who
felt very similar to Ye Qing, Shen Yanxiao’s response was very polite.
“Is that so? Hearing you say that, it makes me want to meet your master. Pharmacist and alchemist is like
a Jiao that doesn’t leave Meng and Meng that doesn’t leave Jiao[1], being similar is not by chance.” Mumu
Fan completely misunderstood what Shen Yanxiao meant. He thought the master Shen Yanxiao was
talking about was an alchemist.
“Should there be a chance in the future.” Shen Yanxiao smiled and nodded her head. As long as the
dwarves joined the alliance, Ye Qing and Mumu Fan would certainly have a chance to meet each other.
Shen Yanxiao never once thought that dwarves were inferior to humans and elves in pharmaceutics. They
lagged behind simply because they had too few resources to work with; if they were on the same starting
line as humans and elves, dwarves would not necessarily have to lose.
Mumu Fan smiled. He wasn’t putting on airs in the slightest. He was like a simple, kind old man.
“Mimi Si, where are the potions you were talking about?” Mumu Fan looked at Mimi Si. He was in the
process of concocting a potion when he was dragged away by Mimi Si. Mimi Si only said that she had
found a more perfect potion than the previous bottle of potion and then took him to the High Clouds
Auction House. Along the way, Mimi Si explained to Mumu Fan how rare these bottles of potions were
and also told Mumu Fan her own plan. Mimi Si did not want the potions to fall into the hands of other
dwarves, but Mimi Si had limited nancial resources, so she could only pin her hopes on her master.
Eighty million gold coins was an astronomical number for Mimi Si, but it was not an unthinkable price for
Mumu Fan, the number one pharmacist on the Storm Continent.

military family from the earlier years of imperial China’s Song Dynasty. Jiao and Meng are both generals,
sworn brothers of righteousness and are inseparable from each other. Later used as a metaphor for a
very strong relationship between two people, deep feelings, or use to describe that two things are inseparable.
