"Arctic Earth Flower, Ruby Weed, Storm Moss, Dragon Soil..."

Reading all the ingredients attached to the missions made Lisa realize she should probably study more about Heaven Realm’s Spirit Herbs. She didn’t know more than half of the herbs listed, but that didn’t discourage her.

Wasn’t it the same in the Hidden Realm? There were hundreds of Spirit Herbs she has never seen before yet she still managed to create godly Pills with them. The recipes of the Mission Pills were unknown to her as well, but that wasn’t a problem.

"Meh, useless," Lisa shrugged indifferently after giving them a glance and looked away from the board. "I can make my own recipes on the spot."

The confidence in her voice made everyone amazed once again. Barely any clients were exchanging their goods but instead waited curiously for the drama.

It wasn’t all.

More and more people began to gather as the news spread quickly, creating a small audience that was growing with each minute. With how calm was the daily life of the Safe Zone, anything interesting was enough to gather crowds.

"Does your head still hurt?" Lisa asked Yiren, using the time she had left to even further build her status.

"I’m good. Don’t worry about me," Yiren assured with a smile. "Just do your thing while we wait."

Lisa joined Yiren in petting Mona before pulling out a Golden Pill from her Storage Ring.

"Here, take one. You will feel better," Lisa suggested as she placed the pill on Yiren’s palm. Although it wouldn’t do much, it would at least give Yiren a short relief.

Her connection with Xuefeng was just too strong for any Pills to stop it. Too bad, the onlookers didn’t know about it.

"A life-saving pill... Gone just like that..." the Manager muttered in pain.

If earlier they doubted her identity, they for sure changed her mind with how easily she handled such a high-ranked Pill. After all, she could be an old-time scammer, but one couldn’t face such confidence unless their name was Xuefeng.

At that moment, multiple assistants rushed into the lobby with boxes in their arms.

"Perfect! Just in time!" the Manager called out ecstatic. "Miss! We brought the Spirit Herbs!"

Lisa walked away from Yiren as she casually glanced at the batches of herbs and pointed at the middle of the lobby.

"Just drop them here."

"Yes! If there is anything else you need, just tell me," the Manager reminded as well. "The highest alchemist will arrive shortly."

Since Alchemist who could make high-ranked Pills were so high in demand, it didn’t matter what Lisa demanded, they wouldn’t hesitate to comply with her demands. She already enjoyed such treatment for a while so she was used to it.

Even if she asked for a hundred Upgrade Fragments free of charge, they wouldn’t mind that at all. Getting on the Alchemist’s good side was Trade Union’s priority.

’Staying low-key really gets you nowhere. Now I understand why Xuefeng causes chaos everywhere...’ Lisa thought, opening all the boxes at the same time.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Eight lids popped open and a fresh herbal aroma filled the lobby. With just a single breath one could feel refreshed. The clients enjoyed the scene, but the Managers instantly grew pale.

"M-miss... Won’t the Spirit Herbs get wasted this way...?" the Manager asked worriedly.

It was common knowledge that Spirit Herbs shouldn’t be left in the open air after harvest for longer than a few minutes, or else they would slowly lose their properties. Each box was special, protecting the herbs within from going bad. An Alchemist only opened their herbs when they were fully prepared to concoct their Pills.

Lisa opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn’t even start her act.

"Where is she?! Lead me to her quick!" An aged voice shouted from the back, cutting her off.

Everyone followed the source and saw an angry old man with an attendant walking closely behind him.

"Highest Alchemist!"

The Managers swiftly recognized the man, bowing as he walked up to the boxes. He seized Lisa who was in the middle of checking the Spirit Herbs and immediately frowned.

"Are you mad?! Don’t you know how expensive are those Spirit Herbs?! To open them up like an idiot you are simply asking to get fired! They are all ruined now!" the Highest Alchemist scolded sternly before turning to the Managers while pointing at her. "Who the hell is she and why do you let her ruin Spirit Herbs?! Did you all lose your brains?!"

The Managers froze, their faces white as paper. On the other hand, the lucky clients on the scene opened their mouths and eyes wide. The drama seemed first-class and they had first row seats!

Just like them, Lisa was also getting excited inside.

This was her moment! She could finally pull off a ’Xuefeng’!

Seeing her face darken, glaring at the Highest Alchemist’s back, the Manager body shivered, threatening to pass out.

"Did you all go deaf or what? Who was the one who called me? Where is that Phoenix’s Flames Pill?" the Highest Alchemist questioned domineeringly. "I failed my concocting because of this. Are you going to pay for all the losses? This better be real or—"

"Shut the fuck up!" Lisa cried out on top of her lungs, silencing the whole lobby.

No one dared to utter a single sound as they watched the Highest Alchemist turn around to face Lisa. They knew who she was, but he had no idea.

"What did you just say...?" the Highest Alchemist asked, looking like a bomb that was ready to blow up.

Lisa didn’t give a crap about his status.

"I told you to shut, the fuck, up!" Lisa repeated, emphasizing each word. "Are you too old that your hearing went bad already? No one cares about your useless pills."

She flipped her blond hair coolly and whipped her arms out. Four red pills suddenly appeared in between the fingers of her hands. She squinted her eyes at the familiar Manager and ordered like a boss.

"Get this old man out of my way before I blow this place up."

Swoosh!

She flicked with her fingers, sending one of the Pills outside the open entrance and the rest was obvious.

BOOOM!!!

The floor shook from the explosion but Lisa’s eyes didn’t even blink, staring at the Manager this whole time.

"What? Let go of me! Who do you think you are?!" The Highest Alchemist complained as he was dragged away to the side.

This felt amazing!!!

Lisa couldn’t help but smirk at the scene, but she didn’t dilly-dally anymore, getting back to the boxes full of Spirit Herbs. From what she remembered, Xuefeng was always competent enough to be so high-profile and she couldn’t be different, or else the consequences would be dire.

"Let’s begin!" Lisa announced, pulling out a single item that shocked the crowd even more.

"A Phoenix’s Feather!"

historical

Lisa ignored the cries and channeled her Fire Qi inside the small feather. It quickly set on fire before exploding, swallowing her with a ball of flames.

"Oh!" The crowd exclaimed but the flames split up, revealing her fully untouched. She had to thank Bella for letting her take all the fallen feathers which were truly priceless.

Eight colorful flames hovered around her, acting like eight separate furnaces.

"Spirit Herbs!" Lisa called out and all Spirit Herbs lifted up from the boxes. The herbs were light enough to lift with her Qi, but that wasn’t that shocking.

She was concocting eight recipes at the same time!

"Melt for me!"

Instead of throwing the Spirit Herbs one by one with a set period of time, she threw them all at the same time, letting them purify quicker. She copied this method from Xuefeng, realizing one could really pull it off if their control was perfectly coordinated.

"This is madness! You are all crazy! Everyone evacuate! She is going to blow up the whole building!" the Highest Alchemist called out in warning, no longer complaining but instead panicking.

Too bad, no one listened to him, mesmerized by the colors of the Phoenix’s Flames.

"Fuck, if you all want to die, be my guest!" the Highest Alchemist finally cursed as he pushed the people away, rushing towards the exit. "No one in history can concoct like this! She is courting death!"

Some listened to his advice, following him towards the entrance. Anyone with a slight knowledge about Alchemy would know how explosive concocting could be.

"Condense!!!"

The Highest Alchemist was near the entrance doors when Lisa cried for the last time. Out of safety, he jumped forward to avoid the most damage, but instead of the explosion, cheers filled the Trade Union lobby.

Tens of pills floated around Lisa, all of them shining brightly with their own light.

"Impossible!" the Highest Alchemist shouted in disbelief, but this time no one listened to him, almost trampling him as people tried to rush back inside.

Lisa pulled out eight glass bottles and gathered all the pills, collecting them all before anyone tried to seize them.

Success!

Her heart was pounding, but she couldn’t stop just yet. It was time for the finale!

She raised her hand while looking coldly at everyone, creating another silence.

"I’m Lisa, the wife of Liu Xuefeng!" Lisa bellowed. "I’m the greatest Alchemist of this Realm! Anyone who disagrees can repeat this challenge before they try to claim my title!"

Pulling out one of the bottles, she raised it in the air and announced loudly.

"As for the Pills, I will be selling them to the highest bidder! Everyone here is invited! The first bid, a thousand Upgrade Fragments for the bottle!"
