Chapter Seventeen: Suppression

  As he walked out of the so-called Garros Exchange, Lin's mood was quite pleasant. At first, when he was in the Sunset Mountains, Anduin had been urging him to go out and kill magical beasts every day. At that time, he hadn't even thought that magic crystals could be sold for money, but just felt that it would be a waste to leave them scattered around. He didn't expect that after one or two months, he could earn his first income from these magic crystals.

  Due to his experiences, Lin Li might understand the power of money more than most magicians in this world.

  At first, he didn't have time to think about this issue, but with Kevin's reminder, he quickly recalled his experience in the endless world. If it weren't for that almost infinite amount of money, he wouldn't have been able to possess so many top-quality materials, let alone max out all his life skills.

  Ten thousand gold coins may be a staggering amount in many people's eyes, but for Lin Li, it was just the beginning.

  That afternoon, Lin Li swept through twenty or so medicinal herb shops. When he hired a horse carriage to bring the herbs back to the Jade Tower, Ge Rui An was so excited that tears were streaming down his face.

  After waiting for decades, a master pharmacist finally emerged from the Jade Tower. Screw you, Pharmacists' Association!

  Then the two of them went into the living room, and even Kevin didn't know what they were talking about.

  Kevin only knew that after coming out of the living room, Greer smiled with satisfaction and announced on the spot that from today on, everything in the Emerald Tower would be unconditionally open to Ferre, who could come and go freely and read any materials at will.

  This is probably the most privileged thing in Emerald Spire, aside from being a member of the Council, especially for a novice wizard who has just joined the guild for a few days. It's simply a miracle.

  Almost all the mages of the Emerald Tower couldn't understand why Grian made this decision. In their view, it was simply a joke. Even Galos' proud legendary mage, Anduin, hadn't enjoyed such treatment in the Emerald Tower. What qualifications did this young mage have to deserve Grian's generosity?

  For a time, the Emerald Tower was in an uproar, with all sorts of rumors spreading like wildfire. Some speculated about whether the relationship between the two was normal, while others questioned whether Gruian had acted fairly. A few hot-headed individuals even threatened to quit the guild unless Gruian rescinded this decision.

  The Gallos Magic Guild has been dwindling in talent, with several magicians above level 9 quitting, it's a devastating disaster. Almost everyone thinks that Grian will compromise, otherwise the Gallos Magic Guild will disappear from Anril before the Supreme Council assessment in three months.

  But they were all wrong; this time Greer did not compromise but instead took the rare step of taking a hard line.

  In just three days, the rumors within the guild were forcibly suppressed, and those few magicians who threatened to quit were expelled from the Magic Guild that very afternoon.

  This time it came and went quickly, almost as if it hadn't started yet was already over. Everything seemed to have returned to its original track. Lin Li still lingered in the library every day, occasionally taking a stroll with Kevin outside the Emerald Tower, checking out what good stuff was available in the magic shops. The fat old man was still enthusiastic about instructing young magicians, his methods as unique as ever...

  The only discordant sound was probably just those few mages who were expelled from the guild.

  Not to mention Ge Rui'an, even Lin Li had heard it said several times before.

  These guys have been gathering together lately, don't know what they're discussing.

  Apart from this one discordant note, everything else seems just as it was before.

  Under Gruyère's iron fist, the small ** was suppressed, but everyone knew that these suppressed voices had never truly disappeared, they were just waiting patiently.

  Once Lin has made some mistakes, or Geely can't come up with convincing reasons, these voices will emerge from the dark again and be louder than before.

  But for Lin Li, this was actually no big deal.

  After returning from the Galos Exchange, he has been very busy and didn't even have time to care about these things.

  Every day, Lin Li rushes to the library at dawn. He has too much knowledge to make up for, and sitting in the quiet library makes him feel like he's back before the college entrance exams. It's not until he finally lifts his head from the pile of books that he often forgets to eat, and then he returns to the pharmacy, where herbs worth thousands of gold coins are waiting for him.

  Lin Li's task was to turn these thousands of gold coins' worth of herbs into medicine.

  Even a great pharmacist like Lin Li couldn't help but feel a headache when faced with so many herbs.

  What's more, there was that old man Ge Rui An, who often came to the medicine room under the pretext of concern, and would run around busily, especially when looking at those bottles of finished medicine, his drooling expression made Lin Li want to kick him out of the medicine room even more.

  That day in the living room, the two had already reached an agreement.

  Lin Li will have privileges in the Carlsen Magic Association, second only to the president, and accordingly, the potions he produces, the association will have priority purchasing rights, this is the purpose of the old man's concern for the potion room every day.

  In essence, the personalities of the old and young are similar, both being worldly, only one is more ostentatious while the other is more low-key.

  The agreement they reached was also filled with utilitarian atmosphere.

  One wants to maximize the benefits brought by the pharmacist, and the other wants to use the guild resources for personal gain as much as possible. These two scoundrels are not good things.

  Lin Li was relatively satisfied with this agreement. As a traverser, he understood the power of propaganda better than others, especially in a world of swords and magic. With the backing of the Garros Magic Guild, even selling medicine could be more successful than others.

  A large amount of herbs was sorted and placed neatly, the originally empty medicine room once again filled with the refreshing scent of herbs. According to Lin Li's plan, this first batch of herbs would be used as much as possible for low-level medicines. After all, this was just a beginning, still far from bringing out their full potential.

  But with his Master Pharmacist skills, even some low-grade potions would be enough to make Anduin's eyes light up. Heaven knows how many years it has been since the mages in the Emerald Spire have smelled the scent of a soothing potion...

  I've been rolled all over the ground and squeezed out of the newcomer chart. I'm going to carve a miserable character on my face!!!!!
