Chapter 72: Brat, You Still Know to Come Home
“Refining potions are not that simple. Let alone the Wilner Family, there is not a single man in the entire country who can refine potion.”
Celia was not trying to strike Welsh down, this was the truth.
If one wanted to become a qualified pharmacist, the requirements were too harsh.
Not only did one need strong mental strength, one also needed to be familiar with the attributes of each medicinal ingredient and the process of refining potions.
If any one of the stages along the line went wrong, it could lead to failure in the refinement of the potion.
This was only the foundation of refining potions. What was even more difficult was the fusion of each medicinal herb together.
The attributes of each medicinal herb were different. They were divided into five great attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There were even special attributes of light and darkness.
One small detail could make all the efforts go to waste.
Thus, a person who had not gone through training would definitely not be able to refine potions. Otherwise, the status of a pharmacist would not be so high.
Therefore, Celia did not believe Welsh when he said that he could refine potions.
A student who was still in his third year of high school could refine potions?
This was simply Welsh trying to joke with her.
However, she did not know that Welsh had already mastered the various methods of refining potions in his previous life.
Not only did he know how to refine potions, but he also knew how to refine weapons.
As for how many skills he had grasped, there were too many that even he had forgotten.
“There weren’t any men as pharmacists in the past, but from this moment on, there will be.”
Welsh revealed a confident smile.
“Really? I’m looking forward to it.”
A glimmer of light flashed in Celia’s eyes.
Could it be that he could really create a miracle?
However, looking at Welsh’s pale face, Celia still felt a little heartache.
“Welsh, don’t cultivate anymore in the future. If it’s for self-defense, I can protect you.”
She thought that the reason behind Welsh’s pale face was that he must have suffered a backlash during his cultivation.
Men should stay at home and take care of their children. How could they imitate the women and cultivate? Not to mention the suffering, the progress was also very slow.
Celia took out a bottle of green potion from her pocket.
“This is my family’s healing potions. Here you are.”
Even though Welsh’s wound had recovered, he still took the potion.
This was a gift from Celia, he couldn’t let her good intentions go to waste.
Just as he kept the potion, Celia’s words made his mind buzz.
“What did you say? Cultivation can affect sexual function?”
Welsh was stunned. What kind of logic was this?
After cultivating for so many years, this was the first time he had heard of this side effect. It directly made him speechless.
However, looking at Celia’s serious expression, it didn’t seem like she was joking.
This world was really too scary.
No wonder only women could cultivate, and there wasn’t a single man who did so.
Since cultivating would affect one’s sexual function, the price of cultivating would be to become a eunuch. Who could accept this?
Fortunately, he was cultivating magic and was not subject to this kind of side effect.
…
After school, Welsh kept thinking about what would happen after he went home.
He didn’t go home last night, and he wondered if his father had noticed.
As he got closer to home, his mood became worse.
After hesitating for a while at the door, he opened the door.
“Creak!”
The door slowly opened. Welsh first stuck his head in from the door and looked inside.
There was no movement in the hall. It was quiet.
Could it be that dad wasn’t at home?
He took the opportunity to sneak into his room.
“Brat, you still know to come home.”
A voice from behind made Welsh’s body freeze.
He slowly turned his head and smiled awkwardly at Davis.
“Dad, so you’re here.”
Davis’ smile was very bright, but to Welsh, this was a sign that danger was coming.
“Rascal, I waited in your room for a whole night yesterday. Tell me, what did you go do yesterday?”
Davis grabbed his ear with one hand.
“Ah, it hurts!”
“Don’t you know that it’s very dangerous for boys to be outside? What if you’re bullied?”
Welsh begged for mercy. “Dad, I was wrong.”
“What did you do wrong?”
“I shouldn’t have stayed out all night. I shouldn’t have not informed you in advance.”
“If you know, why didn’t you call home?”
Davis was really furious.
“Uncle, it’s all my fault. Don’t hit him anymore.”
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from the door.
Welsh turned his head to look, and his eyes instantly widened.
“Emily, why are you here?”
When Davis saw Emily, he let go of Welsh’s ears.
He could do whatever he wanted with the door closed at home, but he couldn’t do that in front of outsiders.
“Uncle, I was drunk yesterday. I was the one who pestered Welsh to take care of me.”
Emily said to herself, not noticing Welsh’s frightened gaze at all.
You were drunk? And I took care of you?
What would my father think of a man and a woman staying together in the same room?
Sure enough, he found his father was walking to his room as if he had lost his soul, while muttering to himself, “Sigh, the cabbage that I worked so hard to grow was eaten by a pig just like that.”
Welsh broke out in a cold sweat.
Cabbage!
He was really referring to him.
Welsh brought Emily to his room.
“Why are you here?”
“For you, it’s for healing.”
Emily took out a green potion from behind her. It was the same potion that Celia had given her.
“This is… the Wilner Family’s potion?”
Welsh realized that he had made a mistake as soon as he said it. Sure enough, he saw Emily take back the potion.
“It seems that you don’t need it anymore. That’s true. As the man of the Wilner Family’s eldest daughter, how could you be lacking this kind of thing?”
Welsh laughed dryly and snatched the potion back from Emily’s hands.
“Who says I don’t need it? I need everything you gave me. Oh right, I’ll teach you the method to restrain the Soul Lock now.”
Emily looked at Welsh and said, “Is that alright? The method to restrain the Soul Lock is still more valuable than life.”
What Emily said was true. Mastering the method to restrain the Soul Lock was equivalent to indirectly breaking away from the adjudicators’ control.
If this method was auctioned off, the price would definitely be hard to estimate.
The amount might even be able to buy a big family.
Welsh smiled. “What’s so bad about it?”
The two of them sat cross-legged on the bed, their palms touching.
Welsh circulated the magic power in his body which slowly entered Emily’s body through his palms, circulating through her meridians.
Everything was going smoothly in the beginning, but just as it was about to end, Emily’s body suddenly trembled.
Then she fell backward, her face pale.
All of this happened in an instant.
Welsh’s gaze changed, and he hurriedly supported her falling body.
“How are you?”
“It hurts!”
Emily coughed twice.
“Drink it quickly!”
Welsh gave her the healing potion.
“What’s going on? Her meridians are damaged wherever my magic power went. Fortunately, there’s the healing potion from the Wilner Family. What in the world is going on? Oh right, when I was healing Aunt Angela, the magic power went through her flesh and blood, not her meridians.
Is that the reason? Should I give it a try?
This time, Welsh used the magic power in his body to slowly seep into her body through her flesh and blood, repairing Emily’s injured body.
Not long after, Emily’s cheeks regained their ruddy color.
It was indeed effective.
His magic power would cause damage to her meridians if it flowed through them, but nothing would happen to her flesh and blood.
Could it be that the meridians of the men and women in this world were very different?
It seemed that he would have to gain some understanding on the cultivation techniques of this world.
“Cough…”
“You’re awake. Does it still hurt?”
Emily felt herself for a moment and smiled. “It doesn’t hurt. I feel so comfortable.”
“Can you do those moves on me a few more times?”
Just now, she felt as if she was soaking in a hot spring. Her entire body was unspeakably refreshed.
All the fatigue and tiredness had disappeared. Her entire soul had relaxed.
Welsh shook his head. Those few moves had used up half of his magic power, so how could she not feel comfortable!
“Hey, don’t be so stingy.”
Emily pestered Welsh.
“If you continue like this, I’ll become a hooligan.”
The two of them frolicked on the bed.
