I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 856 - 857: Peaceful Heart Tea_1

Chapter 856: Chapter 857: Peaceful Heart Tea_1

Meng Tiantian stared at Song Jian, uttering each word deliberately, “To be able to fully absorb the energy of two Second Transformation Golden Pills in such a short period, you either must have an extraordinary physical constitution that completely disregards the strength of the pills, or the potency of my two pills has diminished. However, I can assure you that these two pills were made just three days ago and there is no chance that their potency has diminished. Thus, there remains only one possibility… who exactly are you?”

“Who I am is not important. As far as you’re concerned, I am just an ordinary customer who wishes to purchase the alchemy pills that you have on offer!” Song Jian said with a smile.

In the game he had played before, his attributes had surged enormously, and now they had suddenly increased by another ten points across the board, giving him a sensation of not being able to control his own strength;

Even Hao Dong and Meng Tiantian felt that the person before them had suddenly become almost unreal—a moment he seemed like a towering mountain or a raging ocean unleashing monstrous waves, the next he seemed like an ordinary person from the real world;

“I don’t have any better alchemy pills left. I am closing shop now, both of you, please leave,” Meng Tiantian said, essentially throwing them out;

Song Jian, noticing her tightly holding two bamboo leaves, asked with a laugh, “Are you about to start making Vitality Pills with them? I wonder if I could watch? If the Vitality Pills you make meet my requirements, perhaps we could form a long-term partnership!”

...

The Jade Treasure Bamboo would grow thirty leaves every ten days. Initially, Song Jian had wanted to study Alchemy Skill and make Vitality Pills himself, but in reality, he neither had the energy nor the time. Even the engineering manufacturing and Alchemy skills he had mastered had not been improved for a long time, still lingering at the elementary levels five and six;

Moreover, if he were to start learning Alchemy Skill from scratch, as well as the production of Vitality Pills, it would likely result in a massive waste—a waste that would not be just a few hundred or thousand Doomsday Coins but could amount to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Doomsday Coins.

Seeing this shop and meeting Meng Tiantian gave Song Jian a sudden flash of insight. He could completely entrust Meng Tiantian with making the Vitality Pills, similar to how he had others prepare the “Miraculous Snake Meat”. Letting professionals handle professional tasks was the best way to maximize benefits;

“Hmph, collaborate? What qualifications do you have to collaborate with me?” Meng Tiantian said pompously, her nose turned up in arrogance: “Unless you can produce ten more leaves like these, it’s best if the two of you leave quickly. Don’t think that just because I am an alchemist, I’m easy to bully. You should know that… Oh my god, you actually have so many!”

While she was speaking, Song Jian had already taken out twenty Jade Treasure Bamboo leaves from his bag, placing them one by one on the display counter, grinning at Meng Tiantian.

“Now, are you interested in discussing a partnership with me?” Song Jian asked with a smile;

At that moment, Meng Tiantian’s face was a picture of shock; she stared blankly at Song Jian for a full ten seconds before her expression suddenly changed, blooming into a bright smile;

“Esteemed guest, please, come upstairs. The tea I brew is quite good. Shall we go up and talk over a cup of tea?” Meng Tiantian said gently, curtseying to Song Jian with a sweet voice;

“Very well,” Song Jian nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he gathered the twenty Jade Treasure Bamboo leaves and walked leisurely towards the staircase;

Meng Tiantian’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched Song Jian collect the Jade Treasure Bamboo leaves, a faint look of distress flashing across her face, but it quickly disappeared, and she followed behind Song Jian slowly towards the upstairs.

“Ah, in that case I…” Hao Dong said anxiously, stepping forward, ready to follow upstairs, but Meng Tiantian stretched out her hand to stop him and said fiercely, “The alchemy area is off-limits to outsiders. The general public, please wait outside the shop!”

Just as Hao Dong was about to argue, he suddenly felt an overwhelming force rush towards him, and the world spun around him. He lost control of his body, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself standing dumbfounded in front of the store that sold elixir medicines;

Although Song Jian had already stepped up to the third floor, he was clearly aware of the scene where Hao Dong was driven out. He seemed to clearly visualize in his mind the scene of Hao Dong standing foolishly in front of the shop, as if he were standing right beside Hao Dong.

By now, Song Jian’s Spirit Points had risen to one hundred and fifty-five. After exceeding one hundred and fifty points, Song Jian felt his perception was broader, with more details and clarity. It was as if he had a pair of omniscient, omnipotent eyes that could see every detail within ten meters around his body—crystal clear, as long as he wished to “see” it.

Upon reaching the third floor of the shop, which seemed to be an alchemy room, there was a meter-tall, bronze elixir stove in the corner still radiating intense heat. Whiffs of fragrance wafted from the stove, and at the top, white cloud-like flowers continuously formed and dissipated;

On one side of the third floor was a small partitioned area with tea sets. Meng Tiantian led Song Jian to this area, then began boiling water and preparing tea;

Song Jian noticed that Meng Tiantian carefully picked out a few tea leaves from a porcelain jar. As she picked them, she seemed to feel that she had taken too many, and her hand shook slightly. She then let a few leaves drop back into the jar;

Meng Tiantian smiled at Song Jian and said, “This tea is called Peaceful Heart Tea, it can calm the mind and filter one’s aura, enhancing enlightenment. It’s quite valuable!”

After placing a tea leaf in the porcelain cup in front of Song Jian, Meng Tiantian poured hot water over it. Moments later, the cup emitted an enticing fragrance, as if placing one amid nature itself.

“Truly amazing!” Song Jian laughed, drinking the tea in one gulp, even swallowing the leaf that remained;

Song Jian’s action caused Meng Tiantian’s brows to furrow slightly, but she quickly pretended not to see and continued to sip her tea in small, delicate sips;

After finishing the tea, Song Jian suddenly fell into a state of enlightenment. Thoughts raced through his mind at lightning speed, inspirations surged forth like springs, yet when Song Jian tried to grasp and retain them, he caught none;

After some time, Song Jian slowly exhaled a breath of murky air and opened his eyes. At that moment, his eyes flashed like lightning, emitting a dazzling light, which when it fell upon Meng Tiantian’s face, made her feel a sense of prickling pain. However, like the radiance in Song Jian’s eyes, the sensation soon vanished completely.

At this point, an “enlightenment” status appeared in Song Jian’s status bar, lasting one hour; he felt that his mental strength was constantly evolving every moment under this state of enlightenment, becoming more solid. The increase in Mental Strength due to the attribute surge was also gradually condensing again, and that sense of control returned to his body;
