As a new Sage, for someone to question her strength and status, would definitely make her appear to protect her image.

“Let’s go to the Pharmacist Guild first.”

“En, it seems like I have to prepare something. Let me think about it.”

“Charming Flower, Fallen Leaf Grass, Demonic Red Tear Vine, Passion Fruit, Bamboo Soul Flower.”

Chen Deng listed a series of medicinal herbs.

Previously, he was not completely clueless about alchemy. He had also studied it for a long time.

After fusing with the Demon King’s memories, he realized the Demon King was an all-rounder.

Perhaps it was because he had lived for too long, he had comprehended almost every skill to the extreme.

He was not only a Pharmacist Grandmaster, but also a Weapon Master. He was also a Holy Knight, the most insidious Assassin, the most terrifying Archer, and had the sturdiest body.

In a one-on-one battle, he was absolutely invincible.

However, Chen Deng did not care about martial ethics and actually summoned countless ancient heroes to deal with him. Moreover, each of them was not weaker than him.

As the saying goes, two fists could not fight against four hands, let alone countless hands.

If not for Chen Deng, there would be no one in this world who could end the Demon King.

Of course, if he hid in the Demon Castle and didn’t lure Chen Deng and the others in, he would be safe and sound.

No one could defeat the Demon King under his layers of protection.

However, under all kinds of coincidences, the Demon King died just like that.

The two of them stood in front of the Pharmacist Guild, “We’re from the Magic Forest. I’m a pharmacist apprentice. I want to register as a pharmacist.”

The woman in front of him yawned, “Fill out the form and refine a potion on the spot. If you pass, you can become a pharmacist.”

Chen Deng smiled, “Thank you.”

He looked at Serena beside him and gently patted her butt, “Take out my things.”

Soon, a pile of potions appeared in front of them.

Looking at these extremely valuable potions, the people from the Pharmacists Guild immediately widened their eyes and lost all sleepiness.

“Oh my god! Passion Fruit, Demonic Red Tear Vine, Bamboo Soul Flower! What are you trying to refine with so many high-grade herbs?”

Chen Deng revealed a bright smile, “Demon’s Tears.”

Everyone was shocked, “Oh my god, he’s actually going to refine the legendary Demon’s Tears. That’s a sacred medicine that can increase the strength of the soul.”

“This kind of sacred medicine actually exists. Who is this person? He actually refined such a powerful potion in public. What’s his background?”

“Demon’s Tears? Legend has it that it can help pharmacists advance. It’s the rarest potion.”

“Wasn’t this potion long lost?”

All the pharmacists in the Pharmacist Guild gathered. They all looked at this scene as if they were on a pilgrimage.

Just being able to remember the names of these potions and the order of refining potions was a huge improvement for a pharmacist.

In the magic cauldrons, the essence of every potion was refined in a unique way.

“Mind Dividing Technique. This master is using Mind Dividing Technique. Multitasking. This talent is beyond imagination.”

Everyone glared at him fiercely. Why was he howling at such a critical moment?

Instantly, the scene fell silent again.

Everyone watched nervously as Chen Deng continued to allocate the equipment.

They wanted to memorize all the steps and didn’t want to miss a single detail.

After an hour of preparation, the last drop of Passion Fruit liquid dripped into the bottle.

Everyone’s heart trembled.

Chen Deng revealed a smile, “It’s done. Demon’s Tear.”

Everyone greedily inhaled the fragrance that was emitted.

“It’s really the Devil’s Tear. Just by smelling the aura it gives off, I feel like my soul is about to sublimate.”

“The bottleneck I haven’t touched for many years has loosened. If I can drink this bottle of sacred potion, I will definitely be able to break through.”

“This little brother, Master, I’m willing to pay 10,000 gold coins for the Devil’s Tear.”

“Buy your ass! Pauper! You dare to buy it for 10,000 gold coins? I’ll pay 100,000. As long as I can drink the Demon’s Tear, I’m willing to be your lackey.”

“Tsk, would such a person lack gold coins? I have many beautiful fox ladies in my hands. I don’t know if you’re interested. You can treat them as slaves and train them. They’re very suitable to warm your bed.”

A group of people revealed greedy gazes as they looked at Chen Deng.

Chen Deng smiled, “This employee from the Pharmacist Guild, may I ask if the potion I refined is up to standard? I should be a pharmacist now, right?”

The woman was already dumbfounded. She hurriedly nodded when she was asked, “Yes, I can guarantee that you’re already a pharmacist. If you need it, I can apply to the higher-ups to issue you a certificate of a pharmacist grandmaster.”

Chen Deng shook his head, “I don’t need those things. Everyone, what do you think of my potion refining method compared to that Sage Healer?”

Everyone looked at Chen Deng in horror. They finally understood why he was refining potions in public. It was all to challenge the Sage.

Every pharmacist could challenge a powerhouse to make a name for themselves the moment they became a pharmacist.

Theoretically, a new pharmacist could challenge a sage.

However, no fool would challenge a Sage. To be conferred the title of a Sage, other than having powerful potion refining methods, the most important thing was to obtain the recognition of the kingdom and the blessing of the king.

If they succeeded in the challenge, it would be a slap to the face of the entire kingdom.

If he failed the challenge, he would offend the Sage and would have nowhere to hide.

“Is this person crazy? Does he actually want to challenge the Sage? Does he really think the Demon’s Tear is that powerful?”

“So it’s a lunatic. Quickly hide further away. I don’t want to be affected.”

“Interesting, really interesting. Someone actually wants to challenge the newly conferred Sage Healer.”

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar, “Who wants to challenge the Sage Healer? I can pass the message on your behalf.”

Everyone turned their heads to look at a senior officer of the Royal Knights.

As everyone knew, the Royal Knights and the Holy Church had always been at odds.

By taking the initiative to show up at this time, wasn’t it precisely to hand a knife to the Church?

Chen Deng laughed heartily, “Nicholas Ben greets the Marquis. It is I who wish to challenge the Sage Healer. I heard that this Sage is not worthy of her name. I wish to verify it so the Sage of the Kingdom can be justified.”

Marquis Aphex of the Royal Knights was overjoyed. “I’ve been unhappy with these Sages for a long time. They’re just a bunch of little guys at the strongest level-19. What ability do they have to defeat the Demon King?”

“I’ve long suspected they picked up the loot. It’s very likely that some expert defeated the Demon King and was picked up by them. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.”

His words instantly struck Chen Deng’s heart. It seemed that not everyone in the kingdom was a fool. Many probably knew that this group did not have the strength to defeat the Demon King.
