The few of them returned to the common law potion shop.

Manager Hu saw Lin Yifei return.

His face, which had already regained its calmness, turned bitter again.

Why did this little ancestor come back again?

Did he even understand what he just said? He was forcing him to his death!

At the thought of this, shopkeeper Hu hurried forward.

“My little ancestor, why are you back again? I really beg you not to force me anymore, okay?”

Lin Yifei saw that shopkeeper Hu was really going to kneel.

He also knew that he had done something wrong in this matter.

“Don’t worry, he quickly said. “I’m not looking to buy potions. I’m here to check the compatibility of the next fruit with my body! Shopkeeper Hu, can I use the equipment in your house?”

“Sure, sure!”

Shopkeeper Hu quickly nodded. The heavy stone in his heart was finally lifted.

He led them to the third floor.

There was a testing room in the pharmacy.

“Young master Lin, can you take out the fruit you mentioned?” Shopkeeper Hu said carefully.

Lin Yifei looked at Xu Tianci.

Xu Tianci shrugged and took out the arcane fruit from his pocket.

“This fruit is special. I have to test it myself,” he said.

“This…”

Shopkeeper Hu hesitated.

The moment Xu Tianci took out the fruit, he smelled a refreshing fragrance.

At the same time, his mind rapidly tried to recall what fruit could have such a good fragrance.

However, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t remember what fruit it was.

In the end, shopkeeper Hu gritted his teeth and nodded.

“Alright, put the fruit on the table in the equipment. Little Liu, go and draw a vial of Young Master Lin’s blood.”

Shopkeeper Hu made the preparations in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, all the employees of the potion store were elemental awakeners.

Xu Tianci was really afraid of an ordinary person like Lin Yifei.

The arcane fruit’s attraction to ordinary people would be inherently fatal.

This was also why Xu Tianci said he wanted to test it himself at the beginning.

Very quickly, the results of the test were out.

A staff member walked over with a strange look as he held the test report.

“How’s the compatibility?”

Lin Yifei quickly got up and asked.

His eyes shone with a fiery light.

The staff member opened his mouth but didn’t utter a single word.

When shopkeeper Hu saw how embarrassed his employee was, he snatched the test report away with a dark expression.

At the same time, he scolded, “Look at you, why can’t you… This… It’s impossible!”

Shopkeeper Hu exclaimed in shock.

On the report, the test results said: “Compatibility 100%”

What the hell was this?

How could the compatibility be 100%?

“The compatibility of the advanced awakening potion is only 45%, but this fruit of yours is actually 100%?”

The machine must have malfunctioned!

“Shopkeeper Hu, what’s the result? Just tell me!”

Lin Yifei’s voice brought the stunned shopkeeper Hu back to his senses.

He smiled awkwardly, “That…” Young master Lin, our machine seems to be broken. We’ll have to trouble you for another blood test.”

“I see!”

Lin Yifei didn’t get the desired result and looked disappointed.

However, he still nodded and agreed to re-test.

Very quickly, the second machine was ready.

This time, shopkeeper Hu took a bottle of primary awakening potion.

He was going to test the accuracy of the machine first.

At shopkeeper Hu’s signal, Xiao Liu drew two tubes of blood.

Di di di!

The test result showed a 15% compatibility.

“Mm, don’t worry. This machine is good!”

Shopkeeper Hu heaved a sigh of relief, then gestured for Xu Tianci to go test the fruits.

Xu Tianci found shopkeeper Hu’s actions funny but didn’t dismiss his opinion.

Since you guys want to test it, then test it. I don’t care anyway.

A moment later, the arcane fruit’s second test results were out.

It was the same staff member from before.

He held the test report and said with a gloomy expression, “Boss, the compatibility is still 100%.”

BOOM!

In an instant, shopkeeper Hu felt that his understanding of the world had been completely overturned.

Could there really be something in this world that had perfect compatibility?

But how was that possible?

Shopkeeper Hu went a little crazy for a moment after his understanding of the world was broken.

“No,” he said, shaking his head. “This machine might be faulty as well. We’ll have to recheck it!”

He heard what shopkeeper Hu said.

Lin Yifei, who was already jumping around excitedly, kicked shopkeeper Hu.

“This fruit has a 100% compatibility. Why are you still saying that the machine is wrong? I’ve already drawn three vials of blood. Are you trying to kill me?”

Mr. Zheng, who was silent at the side, saw that his young master had been defeated.

He coughed and looked at Xu Tianci. “Little brother, it looks like what you said is true! Since that’s the case, I’ll give you 5 million magic coins.”

This time, it was Xu Tianci’s turn to be dumbfounded.

What 5 million? Was he trying to force a deal?

He quickly opened his arms to stop Lin Yifei, who was trying to grab the arcane fruit.

At the same time, he pointed at Mr. Zheng and said indignantly, “I say, aren’t you guys a little too much of a bully? Five million magic coins… Are you trying to send off a beggar? I’m not selling it! Xiaoyu, let’s go!”

Xu Tianci didn’t agree, and he was about to leave.

Even Lin Yifei, who was in a state of excitement, was dumbfounded.

He quickly stopped the Xu siblings from leaving.

“Little brother, didn’t you say 5 million magic coins when we made a bet?”

With that, Lin Yifei mimicked Xu Tianci and spread his fingers.

At this moment, Xiaoyu spoke.

“My brother said five, and you’re telling me five million in the end? It’s easily worth 50 million magic coins! Do you think we’d just stroll in here with something worth a few million?”

What insolence.

Whoever was unfamiliar with her would’ve thought she must be the pearl in the palm of some big family.

In an instant, the entire third floor of the potion store fell silent.

50 million magic coins!

This was definitely a product with a sky-high price.

None of them expected the young man to demand such an exorbitant price!

“This… Isn’t that too much?”

Shopkeeper Hu became the peacemaker.

“Which part is too must? That Lin guy is ready to pay 20 million for your primary awakening potion with a 15% compatibility. We have a 100% compatibility potion, so is it too much to ask for 50 million magic coins?” Xiaoyu retorted confidently.

Xu Tianci gave his sister a strange look.

He didn’t realize that his sister had the ability to argue with a group of scholars.

He could not help but give Xiaoyu a thumbs up in his heart.

At the same time, Xu Tianci stood up straight as if saying ‘that’s what I meant.’

Lin Yifei was anxious.

The previous bid of 20 million was completely due to his anger.

Fifty million magic coins were no small amount.

“Alright, 50 million it is. I’ll buy this fruit!”

In the end, it was Mr. Zheng who spoke.

As a Magister, he knew the true value of Xu Tianci’s fruit.

If this fruit were to be placed in the Imperial City, people would fight for it even if it cost 500 million magic coins, let alone 50.

Moreover, it could allow his young master to awaken his magic risk-free.

Not only was this deal a steal, but it also meant big profit!
