Under One Person: I Can Change Jobs Infinitely
Chapter 40 Alchemical Products - Vitality Potions
Huang Yu frowned: "Western eccentrics? The Jade Society? What are they doing here?"
He had some recollection of the Jade Society; it was a core organization representing the top combat power in the European supernatural world, with members mainly consisting of alchemists and magicians.
If Na Du Tong is a semi-official organization that manages the Chinese supernatural community, then the Jade Society is the rightful administrator of the European supernatural community!
In later generations, the Jade Society gradually declined and had to concede to Behemoth of the United States in terms of international discourse power, but it still retained the characteristics of an old hegemonic power.
But it's only 1921!
Western Europe has not declined; it is the center of civilization in the world today and the undisputed hegemon!
Meanwhile, the Emerald Society, representing the European supernatural community, also reached the pinnacle of its power!
Why would a member of such a top-tier power come all the way to Fujian?
Is it just for tourism and novelty?
Upon hearing Huang Yu's question, Liu replied, "I don't know what they're trying to do either."
"Based on the information gathered so far, they simply want to sell a vitality potion to the major families in Fujian and to engage in deeper cooperation in maritime trade."
"Vitality potion? What's that?" Huang Yu keenly grasped the key information.
Liu explained, "I've never used it either. It's supposedly a kind of alchemical potion that can restore youth and give you a vibrant body again."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yu narrowed his eyes. As a pharmacist himself, he knew best what these so-called "vitality potions" were.
They are either drugs that overdraw the body's potential and cause a temporary burst of energy, or hallucinogens, similar to illicit drugs, that make the brain experience pleasure beyond the threshold.
Neither of them are good things.
Of course, there is also a final possibility: that this drug can indeed replenish vitality and physical strength, restoring people to their peak physical condition, making it a super tonic.
However, the production cost of this tonic is too high, requiring a large amount of rare medicinal materials. It is usually kept as a life-saving medicine and is not likely to be traded on a large scale.
No, wait, there seems to be another possibility?!
Huang Yu pondered carefully, then suddenly realized something, his expression changed, and he asked, "Have you ever seen anyone take this vitality potion? What happened after taking it? Did it really replenish the body's deficiencies?"
Liu nodded and said, "My fourth uncle used this medicine. He used to be an opium addict, and the family had given up on him. But somehow he got his hands on this vitality potion, and after taking it, his physical condition did improve."
"I've carefully assessed it; it's not a false improvement that depletes the body's potential, but rather a genuine replenishment of its deficiencies!"
At this point, a cold glint flashed in Huang Yu's eyes.
Such an inexpensive and widely available supplement could not possibly be made from rare medicinal herbs, so it must be made from another material.
As the most intelligent of all beings, at the top of the food chain... what in this world is more vital than a human being?
Huang Yu said in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on this group. Report to me if anything happens! It would be best to find out their purpose in coming to Fujian."
"Although in the military and political spheres, our country has become nothing more than a meal on the dinner table, in the world of supernatural beings, our country still has some foundation!"
"If the situation is uncovered and the evidence is conclusive, then we can rightfully eliminate them."
"Even if we can't find any evidence, as long as there's any indication that they're doing evil, we'll still wipe them out."
After a moment's hesitation, Liu said, "My lord, it seems there are nobles from Western Europe among them..."
Huang Yu said calmly, "It doesn't matter, whether you're a noble or not, it's all the same."
"Understood!" Liu nodded obediently.
As if remembering something, Huang Yu asked again, "By the way, do you know about the Trinity Sect?"
Liu was slightly taken aback, then immediately replied, "Of course I know. The Sanyi Sect is a top-tier supernatural force in Fujian, and the Great Ying Immortal, Zuo Ruotong, is an immortal being!"
"Families in Fujian that have seen a bit of the world know about Zuo Ruotong."
After a pause, Liu added, "The Liu family donates to Sanyi Men every year, so they are considered major financial backers of Sanyi Men."
Huang Yu paused for a rare moment before asking, "Is the Liu family also a major financial backer of the San Yi Sect?"
Liu nodded: "Yes, in fact, most of the respectable families in Fujian are major financial backers of the Sanyi Sect."
"It's not for any particular reason, except to show respect to the Great Ying Immortal Zuo Ruotong, and to buy peace of mind and security."
"Whenever people encounter troubles in the martial arts world that they can't handle, they ask the Sanyi Sect to come and take a look."
"With them involved, most problems can be solved."
Huang Yu looked enlightened; to be honest, this somewhat shattered his understanding of the San Yi Sect.
I originally thought that the Trinity Sect only accepted donations from specific families, but I didn't expect that even a family like the Liu family, which is inclined towards darkness, was accepted by the Trinity Sect.
After a moment, Huang Yu shook his head with a laugh. Most people who can make a fortune in this era have some dark side.
Otherwise, one would not be able to earn such a large amount of wealth, nor would one be able to keep it!
This is a problem of the overall environment; the prevailing atmosphere is one of evil...
The Sanyi Sect, having lived deep in the mountains for so long, could not possibly be fully aware of everything, and their requirements for themselves were indeed quite strict.
Seeing Huang Yu's expression, Liu seemed to realize something and said ingratiatingly, "My lord, do you wish to make contact with the Sanyi Sect? Would you like the Liu family to act as an introducer?"
"The Liu family donates a lot of money and goods to the Sanyi Group every year, so they have some influence over them."
Huang Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need. Your current task is to continue to infiltrate the Liu family and secretly take control of them."
"Then there are two other side missions: maintaining the operation of Starfire Academy and gathering intelligence on that group of Westerners."
"You don't need to do anything else, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble."
"Yes, ma'am!" Liu nodded, indicating that he understood.
In reality, Huang Yu felt that the Liu family's recommendation was not very useful and might even make it more difficult for him to infiltrate the Sanyi Sect.
It's important to know that the Sanyi Sect investigates the backgrounds of disciples who want to join the sect, and they go to great lengths to do so in great detail.
If he were to enter the San Yi Sect's assessment through the Liu family's recommendation, it might actually expose his and Liu's existence.
Lies are so easy to expose.
A perfect lie is one that is itself a lie.
Huang Yu decided to stick to the original plan, disguise himself as Li Daniu, and beg his way to Sanyi Gate.
And that's exactly what he did, leaving countless traces along the way.
Although Huang Yu was delayed for more than a month in Fucheng, it didn't really matter.
The investigation by the Sanyi Sect was detailed, but not overly so. At most, they went to Changcheng to check if Li Daniu had any problems with his past and to look at the traces of his journey south.
As long as these are genuine, there are no issues with his/her identity.
After explaining everything to Liu, Huang Yu left Liu's house and disguised himself again—as Li Daniu!
It's time to start begging again.
