After Cheng Yi feeding him food, An Yan’s mood immediately shot up, and the previous emotions of confusion were almost crushed by the delicious food.
Although An Yan thought it was just a coincidence, he was still very grateful and his eyes shone brightly as he said, “Senior, thank you for letting me eat such a delicious dish. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude. Why don’t you let me make you a potion?
Cheng Yi was in a state of bewilderment. He had only made such an arrangement because he wanted the little one to feel better as soon as possible, not for the sake of getting a potion.
Cheng Yi shook his head and said, “Yan Yan is too polite. To be honest, you were willing to help me try these dishes, so I should be the one to thank you. How can I accept your potion? “
However, An Yan insisted, “No, no, senior has helped me so much before. Yesterday, you gave me and my mother such valuable gifts, and I got to eat so many delicious dishes today. I must make two potions for you! “
After saying that, An Yan directly stood up and said, “Senior, please take me to the pharmacy room.”
“Yan Yan ……” Cheng Yi became more and more helpless.
An Yan’s big eyes glared, and he directly used a threat: “If senior doesn’t agree, then I won’t even eat the food that senior makes in the future!”
After thinking about it, he added aggressively, “I won’t invite senior to my house again either!”
Cheng Yi was helpless and could not help but feel a softness in his heart. He wished he could press this little guy, whose big cheeks were puffed out in a fierce manner, into his arms and squeeze him, but he was stopped by his reason.
He let out a long sigh and deliberately trailed off, “Since Yan Yan is so insistent, then I have no choice but to ……”.
Although the words he just said were very firm, An Yan’s heart was actually very apprehensive. Senior wouldn’t get angry because of this and decide to not be friends with him, right?
Cheng Yi’s heart couldn’t help but get even softer on seeing that although the little one was still holding on to a tough attitude on the surface, the watery eyes were already showing obvious apprehension and worry.
“I’ll just have to accept your gift of thanks.” Cheng Yi finally spat out the latter half of his sentence. Meanwhile, his gaze continued to focus on the little one’s expression.
The little one indeed secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly loosening his tightly clenched little hand and quietly making a cute hooking finger movement. The corners of Cheng Yi’s mouth began to rise uncontrollably.
How could his little one be so cute?
“Then, senior, take me to the pharmacy quickly!” As if he was worried that Cheng Yi might backtrack, An Yan spoke up and urged.
Cheng Yi helplessly and dotingly rubbed a hand in An Yan’s hair, “Let’s go.”
Out of respect and regard for An Yan, Cheng Yi did not stay in the pharmacy room again while he was making potions.
So when An Yan walked out with a basket of potions, a rare blank expression appeared on Cheng Yi’s face for a moment, “This….”
This is a basket of potions… There must be at least ten bottles, right?
This was completely different from what was promised!
An Yan directly sent the basket towards Cheng Yi’s hand and said with a smile, “These are all thank you gifts for senior. Please accept them. “
Cheng Yi pursed his lips. The corners of his mouth were taut: ” Didn’t Yan Yan say he was giving me a potion?”
An Yan’s eyes instantly flickered with a flash of guilt, but he quickly forced it down. He said in a matter-of-fact manner, “I ……I just said that I would give senior a potion, but I didn’t know if I could make a high quality potion today, so I made a few more bottles to be on the safe side. Furthermore…perhaps there are no high-quality potions among them.”
An Yan’s voice became lower and lower by the end of the sentence because of his guilt until it was almost inaudible.
He obviously did not believe what he said, let alone Cheng Yi. But since the potions had been made, Cheng Yi had no option but to take them all, just not as a thank you gift.
He sighed and led An Yan back to the pharmacy room. “You haven’t yet tested these potions yet?”
An Yan nodded sheepishly.
Cheng Yi put each of the potions into the detector and began the long testing process.
Bottle 1: high-quality potion with an effectiveness of 94 days and a side effect of 30 seconds of mild dizziness.
Bottle 2: A high-quality potion with an effectiveness of 112 days and a side effect of 20 seconds of slight weakness.
Bottle 3: A high quality potion with an effectiveness of 143 days and a side effect of 10 seconds of slight drowsiness
……….
Bottle 13: A high-quality potion with an effect of 216 days and a side effect of 5 seconds of mild depression.
The effect duration and side effects of the thirteen bottles varied, but they all had one thing in common: they were all high quality body potions, and they were the best of the best.
Cheng Yi read out the contents of the last test result, then turned his head expressionlessly to look at An Yan, who was already shrinking himself in a corner: “Mm? Maybe there are no high-quality potions in these potions at all? “
If he could, An Yan just wanted to turn himself back into a hamster and collapse into a meat pie and play dead.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t. So in response to Cheng Yi’s rhetorical question, An Yan could only stammer, “This …. that ……it should be just a coincidence, right?”
“Coincidence?” Cheng Yi sneered, his voice sounding particularly heartless, “Thirteen potions, each a high quality potion, with the minimum effectiveness of 94 days and a maximum effectiveness of 216 days, all with the mildest of side effects, with a maximum duration of only 30 seconds. If this can be said to be a coincidence, then I’m afraid there’s nothing in this world that is not a coincidence. “
An Yan felt Cheng Yi’s cold attitude for the first time and could not help shrinking his neck. The more potions he made, the better the results and the fewer the side effects. He should be happier.
Cheng Yi did it on purpose. Only by putting on a cold face and scaring the little guy could he gain the upper hand when discussing the price later on.
Cheng Yi quickly took a stand, “There are so many high-quality potions. I can’t possibly accept them all. “
An Yan wanted to give all the potions to Cheng Yi, but he no longer had any confidence at this point. He didn’t dare to retort at all, and only gave Cheng Yi a timid glance before quickly lowering his head again.
“I can accept one of the potions as a thank you gift, as for the rest ……” Cheng Yi paused for a moment, still speaking in a cold tone, “Sell them to me at 20 million a bottle.”
An Yan was immediately shocked and asked rhetorically, not caring about his weakness: “Wasn’t it still 10 million a bottle before?!”
Cheng Yi frowned, “From the test results, that price is too low. If you insist on disagreeing, then I won’t take even one bottle.”
“That won’t do. Let’s not talk about the other potions; at least take the two bottles I promised as a thank you gift,” An Yan said while taking the two bottles with the longest effectiveness among the potions. “You must take these two bottles!”
He wanted to put the potions directly into Cheng Yi’s hand, but was afraid that the other party would reject him outright, so he put them on the table next to Cheng Yi, and carefully stole a glance at the latter in the process.
Cheng Yi was amused by An Yan’s cute little gesture. With great difficulty, he tensed his expression and said solemnly, “If you won’t sell me the potions, I won’t take even one bottle.”
“You are forcing a buy and sell……,” An Yan accused in a small voice.
“You are right. I am indeed buying by force,” Cheng Yi admitted very frankly, “and you can refuse and take all these potions away.”
With that, Cheng Yi even put the two potions back with the other potions.
 Cheng Yi had to buy these potions because he considered that it would be really hard to sell An Yan’s potions to others and also because he was worried that he would not know how to protect himself. He would find some black market channels, be targeted by people with ulterior motives, and harm himself instead.
An Yan dared not speak. He wanted to stop it but did not dare to do so. It took awhile before he let out a sentence: “That…. at least the price should be a little cheaper ah…..”
An Yan begged in a soft waxy voice that Cheng Yi’s heart softened: “Yan Yan may not know that I am already profiting even if I bought at that price.”
Of course, An Yan did not believe Cheng Yi’s words.
Cheng Yi explained, “I can keep these potions for my own use, but if I can’t use them all, I can also find a suitable channel to sell them. Such high quality potions can go for 30 million star coins. So, do you think I’m losing or making money?”
“Can this kind of potion really sell for that much money?” An Yan was still skeptical.
Cheng Yi nodded affirmatively and took the opportunity to say, “If Yan Yan doesn’t believe me, you can leave these potions with me. When I find a suitable buyer, I will transfer the money to you at the transaction price. Is that okay?”
An Yan almost believed it, but… although that could prove Cheng Yi’s words, it would also mean that Cheng Yi was helping him sell them. The original thank you would turn into getting help.
Since Cheng Yi said that these potions could be sold for more money, An Yan naturally changed his mind: “Then …… I’ll sell these potions to you, but the two bottles I gave you should not be charged.”
With his purpose was achieved, Cheng Yi readily agreed and also said, with a special meaning, “In that case, I’ll have to take advantage of Yan Yan.”
“I’m the one who’s taking advantage of senior.” An Yan didn’t notice anything wrong with this statement, and even replied in return. He hadn’t even thought of making money from these potions.
The two sides reached a deal, and Cheng Yi immediately transferred the money to An Yan.
In addition to the two potions that were a thank you gift, the remaining eleven potions, sold at twenty million each, amounted to a total of 220 million star coins.
Looking at the account balance that had once again skyrocketed, An Yan froze for two seconds before coming to, silently convinced that he had now become a money mouse.
After transferring the money, Cheng Yi took the opportunity to say, “Yan Yan, you can give me any high-quality potion you make next time. I will help you find a channel to sell it.”
Cheng Yi knew that An Yan would not agree and added with a smile, “But then I will have to take some fees out of it, so Yan Yan will have to earn less.”
An Yan originally did not want to trouble Cheng Yi, but he gladly agreed when he heard this: “Okay, then I’ll trouble senior!”
