Chapter 17 Bird Unfertilized Egg

As they were talking, two people started arguing at the entrance of the Apothecary Guild. One was wearing coarse cloth clothes with an Apothecary Guild badge, but it was a low rank. He was probably an apothecary apprentice, not yet twenty years old. The other was well-equipped, an elemental mage in his thirties, tall and burly. Compared to him, the apothecary apprentice looked like a child.

"It's not my fault the potion failed this time!"

"If it's not your fault, is it mine?"

"They tampered with things when I was making the potion!"

"Our guild master gave you so many herbs, and you messed them up into this garbage. You can't even earn back the capital. What kind of hidden skill did you learn? Go back to eating shit." The elemental mage cursed, not holding back at all. He slapped the apothecary apprentice and threw some potion-making tools on the ground.

The apothecary apprentice retreated down the steps, staring at the elemental mage with hatred in his eyes.

"What are you looking at? I'll slap you again if you keep staring. Get lost!" The elemental mage's eyes widened like copper bells as he glared at the apothecary apprentice.

The apothecary apprentice took a deep look at the elemental mage and silently picked up the things on the ground.

"Cheap bastard!" The elemental mage kicked the apothecary apprentice. The apothecary apprentice staggered, silently gathering the things on the ground.

"That guy is too spineless. He doesn't even dare to make a sound after being kicked," Shenfa Wangxi said, unable to bear it any longer.

"There's nothing wrong with his approach. When you can't win, you can only endure. When you can win, it's not too late to beat him back," Nie Yan said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. That apothecary apprentice was quite patient; the more patient a person is, the more terrifying they are.

Shenfa Wangxi looked up at Nie Yan. Nie Yan's words made him shudder. Nie Yan was probably not someone who would suffer losses. If anyone offended Nie Yan, Nie Yan would definitely get even. Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared in Nie Yan's eyes, as if he had found a treasure.

"It's him. What a small world," Nie Yan murmured. He recognized the apothecary apprentice in front of him, but not as a friend, but as an enemy. In his previous life, this apothecary was a loyal lackey of the Victorious Return guild. Ten percent of Victorious Return's advanced potions came from him, and some were even his unique potions. Nie Yan suffered quite a few losses at the hands of the wealthy Victorious Return guild, and those hateful potions were one of the reasons. When Nie Yan was in the wild, he encountered a team from the Victorious Return guild. At that time, a group of Victorious Return people were escorting this apothecary to do a mission. Originally, Nie Yan and his friends should not have suffered a loss, but each of these Victorious Return people had some tricky and strange potions. Obviously, Nie Yan and his friends were badly defeated.

The apothecary apprentice in front of him was called Niao Bu Sheng Dan (Bird Unfertilized Egg). Because this name was not very pleasant, the Victorious Return subordinates did not dare to call him by his name directly, so they gave Niao Bu Sheng Dan a nickname, Yaowang (Medicine King). This title was also appropriate. Niao Bu Sheng Dan's potions did make great contributions to the Victorious Return guild.

However, at this time, Niao Bu Sheng Dan was just an apothecary apprentice who had just been kicked out of the Dark Ranger guild. It would be at least a month before he would be taken in by the Victorious Return guild and valued by the Victorious Return guild's higher-ups. Because the Victorious Return guild master had recognized his talent, he wholeheartedly worked for the Victorious Return guild. In general, Niao Bu Sheng Dan's character wasn't too bad.

"Does a Medicine King who is still an apothecary apprentice have any value?" Nie Yan thought to himself. Niao Bu Sheng Dan's success was inseparable from the Victorious Return guild's vigorous training. It was because the Victorious Return guild provided a large number of herbs that Niao Bu Sheng Dan was slowly cultivated and became a veritable Medicine King. At that time, the name Medicine King was quite famous.

With Nie Yan's financial resources, supporting a Medicine King should not be difficult. Nie Yan wanted to slowly build his own power. Potion shops, equipment shops, and auction houses were all essential. The most important thing was to gather talent. Recruiting Niao Bu Sheng Dan at this time was undoubtedly the best opportunity.

The elemental mage cursed at Niao Bu Sheng Dan for a while before turning to leave, still muttering curses.

Niao Bu Sheng Dan lowered his head to pick up the things on the ground, his eyes coldly sweeping over the elemental mage's back.

"What's the name of that elemental mage?" Nie Yan walked to Niao Bu Sheng Dan's side and looked down at Niao Bu Sheng Dan, who was picking up things.

"Razor. What's it to you?" Niao Bu Sheng Dan glanced at Nie Yan.

"Do you feel humiliated? People without strength will be despised. Come with me, I can make them look at you with new eyes and regret today's actions."

"Why should I believe you?" Niao Bu Sheng Dan looked up at Nie Yan. He was a little confused by Nie Yan's appearance. A stranger walked up to him and wanted him to go with him with just a word. Wasn't that too simple?

"Based on my feeling, I believe you shouldn't be a useless piece of trash. You must be very unwilling to be kicked out of the guild. It depends on whether you have the courage to change. Anyway, you have nothing to lose. I don't need to trick you at all, right?" After Nie Yan finished speaking, he turned and walked away.

Nie Yan waited for Niao Bu Sheng Dan to chase after him. If he were Niao Bu Sheng Dan, he would never give up an opportunity presented to him.

"Wait."

Niao Bu Sheng Dan's voice came from behind. Nie Yan smiled slightly.

Looking at Nie Yan's back, Niao Bu Sheng Dan's expression changed uncertainly. Being kicked out of the Dark Ranger guild was the biggest shame of his life. He didn't quite understand Nie Yan's intentions. Nie Yan's appearance was too strange. Niao Bu Sheng Dan had deep reservations about Nie Yan, but one thing was certain: he was penniless now, and the money he had in reality was only enough for him to live for two or three months. A barefoot person is not afraid of someone wearing shoes. Even if he was deceived, so what?

Niao Bu Sheng Dan was a cockroach who lived at the very bottom. As long as he had a chance to survive, he would live on.

Niao Bu Sheng Dan stood up and followed.

Shenfa Wangxi, who was on the side, looked at Nie Yan and Niao Bu Sheng Dan's backs thoughtfully. Nie Yan's ambitions were probably not something that could be satisfied by forming a team, but that was also good. It's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

"What do you want me to do?" Niao Bu Sheng Dan asked, following behind Nie Yan. It seemed that he could only make potions. Even with the simplest potion making, he often messed up, wasting a lot of materials. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been kicked out of the Dark Ranger guild.

"Of course, it's still making potions. What's your hidden skill?" Nie Yan asked as he walked.

"After successfully creating a potion, there is a 2% chance to enhance the effect of that potion." Niao Bu Sheng Dan quickened his pace and followed behind Nie Yan. For some reason, he had a strong feeling that from the moment he followed Nie Yan, his fate was quietly changing. He didn't know if the road ahead was good or bad, but he had to go on.
