Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Meeting Ma Ning!
When the receptionist started narrating the things that Noah had just ordered, Ma Ning almost let the tea cup in his hands slip on the table.
"Did he really ask for those things? Even though those pills are not expensive in itself, the higher purity versions of those pills are not less than what Tier 3 Pills cost."
As the quality of the pills increases their price also increases exponentially. Their price depends on the potency of the pill.
"Yes manager I am certain!"
"Okay, follow me and bring the best pills we have. It is time to meet them." Ma Ning got up and left the room with the man following behind him. The guards bowed upon seeing him exiting the room but did not move from their location.
Noah who had been looking at their interaction from the start was a little intrigued and waited patiently for the man to arrive but to his surprise the manager did not descend the stairs but to the upper floor.
He walked to a grand looking door and Knocked on it in a weird pattern in different places.
*knock*
*knock*
Soon the doors opened for the man to enter after a brief flash of light on their surface. Entering the room the old man bowed in respect and fear as the words left his mouth.
"They have arrived, Young Miss!"
His words were enough to make Noah a little curious about the person inside. He willed his Soul sense to go further inside the room. As soon as his senses penetrated the walls of the room, he saw it!!
…
Sitting inside the room Noah was currently talking to Xin Yan and Elysia. He had long stopped spying on the old man. It was not as dirty as it sounded. He was explaining to Xin Yan what he saw through his soul sense.
After seeing that they did not have any intentions on harming them, Noah had already stopped his actions but he did not let his guard down.
"Why do you even want the pills? That too just a single pill? Those pills won't be enough if you want to cultivate using them!" Xin Yan's words held the truth, no matter how pure the pills were they could help Noah breakthrough with just a single one of them.
"Indeed a single pill would be useless but I do not want the pill for cultivation." Noah nodded and calmly explained to Xin Yan, even Elysia was listening to his words with curiosity.
"I am trying to learn alchemy!"
His words struck in Xin Yan's ears, she looked at him with doubt as if checking if she had heard it correctly.
Alchemy was the art of refining spirit plants and medicinal herbs into a pill that could aid in cultivation or along the journey of a cultivator. The profession of being an alchemist was not as easy as it sounded.
Noah would have to divert his time and attention to other things like alchemy and reading. He cannot start alchemy without having basic information about the herb and plants.
"I know what you are thinking but the Information, I had transferred to him had all the theoretical information of all kinds of professions on this planet." Elysia interjected seeing the expression on Xin Yan's face. Xin Yan could see smugness as clear as day on the woman's face.
She turned to look at Noah who confirmed her words with a nod before adding.
"What she said is true but the information she sent to me is quite vast and overwhelming. It contains the history of all kinds of professions along with their techniques." his eyes shone with a bright light as he became a little excited while explaining about the knowledge he had received.
"Since the amount of information she gave me was too much. I just went through the surface of the knowledge she had given me. I have not touched the rest of the topics beside cultivation till now. I have just recently started learning the basics of alchemy."
" I can be said to have the knowledge of a Tier 2 alchemist but that is just the theory. I need experience to make pills, I will be using these pills as a reference."
Tier two corresponded to his current cultivation. A tier two alchemist was nothing to scoff at. Even in this city the amount of tier two alchemists can be counted on a person's fingers.
He could learn more about alchemy but he thought there was no need to rush, he had to start with the basics.
"That is impressive Noah, but do not forget you would still need a lot of practice before you would successfully be able to form a pill." Xin Yan reminded Noah with a gentle smile on her face.
Before Noah could say anything, he sensed something and refrained from saying anything.
*Creak*
Before long the door of the room opened once again and the same receptionist walked inside with Ma Ning.
"Pardon us for the delay, dear guests. Allow me to Introduce myself, I am Ma Ning, the assistant manager of this branch of the Eternal Jade guild."
Even though Ma Ning managed to conceal it he was a little shocked seeing the appearance of the duo and tried sensing their cultivation. He was unable to sense the cultivation of Xin Yan but he could clearly sense the cultivation of Noah.
'Such a genius talent and it seems Shao Heng did not say the wrong words. They are Quite the pair.'
While secretly analyzing the duo, he cupped his hands as a form of greeting. Unknown to him Xin Yan was doing the same. She did not trust the old man in front of him and stayed on guard but still greeted him with a gentle smile on the surface.
"It is fine. We do not mind the little wait as long as the products are ready." Noah replied while inwardly scoffing at the old man's introduction.
Only a fool would believe that someone with foundation establishment cultivation was just a simple assistant manager.
'This brat is really something.' Ma Ning thought as he stroked his beard, he was really surprised that Noah was able to handle himself this well while being this young.
