Chapter 121 — Meeting Dorian And His Master

 "Like I had guessed, you are no ordinary youngster" just then, sounds of laughter rang out as two figures appeared from behind Drew.

 They were Dorian and his master from the Red Canyon Sect.

 Unfortunately, Drew didn't know they were the envoys from the Red Canyon Sect since the identity of all VIP customers were top secret.

 "Who are you and why are you stalking me?" Drew frowned with disappointment.

 "Oh? it seems that you are disappointed? were you expecting someone tougher?" Dorian's master chuckled upon noticing Drew's countenance.

 "I was expecting a lady" Drew shrugged.

  "Interesting!" Dorian's master chuckled as his eyes twinkled.

 It was unknown what was going on his mind.

 "Although I had expected this.. if you were able to walk past the premises of the Auction House unhindered, that means you were pay up the huge amount you bidded on those items"

 Drew's face became stern upon hearing the other party's statement. He instantly became alert as he cautiously roamed his eyes around in case of any sudden attacks.

 "Rest easy. I didn't come to rob you of your properties. Not like you are even carrying one with you" the old man laughed as his eyes roamed over towards Drew's fingers before he retracted them back.

 Although the old man said this, Drew didn't dare let down his guard.

 "I came to invite you over to the Red Canyon Sect" the old man finally revealed his real intentions.

 "I-Invite me? wait! you are from the Red Canyon Sect?!" Drew's heart almost leapt out from his chest upon hearing the statement from the other party.

 "Heh" Dorian sneered when he saw Drew's huge reaction after the reveal.

 It further fueled his planet sized ego and feeling of superiority.

 "Yes. I am a Divine Physician and I am interested in a young medical geniuses like you" the Old Man added, further confusing Drew.

 "H-How did you know I am a Divine Physician?" he questioned suspiciously.

 "Well, it's not that difficult I figure out. After all, most of the items you bidded on were Herbal items. Let me make a guess, you are trying to concoct the Artic Soothing solution?" 

 Drew's eyes almost popped out from their sockets upon hearing the other party's accurate guess.

 "I-Indeed. But how did you know that?!' Drew asked, almost out of breath from the shock he was currently feeling.

 "Well. It's not difficult. Not only did you bid over the Jade Turtle egg, you also bid over the Frost Empress flower and the Sand Salamander Root. It wasn't difficult for me to guess just what kind of potion you were about to brew " the Old Man smiled confidently.

 "Not to mention I can sense a thick smell of herbs from you" he further added.

 "However the Artic Soothing solution isn't something that a newbie can brew. Are you perhaps acting under the instructions of your master?" the old man asked.

 "No. I plan on brewing it myself" Drew thought for a bit before deciding to come clean.

 He didn't know if the other party was so strong that he could detect if he was lying.

 "Nonsense!!" the old man snorted in annoyance as his beards flayed about..

 "How can you waste such rare herbs like that?! What about your master? is he really going to sit by and watch you waste such valuable resources?!" 

 Drew was taken aback by the other party's sudden outburst. And at the same time, he found it to be very comical and hilarious at the same time.

 "He thinks I am capable of brewing it so he let me" he replied, which wasn't technically a lie since he was capable of brewing the Artic Soothing solution.

 Naturally, his reply came as a shock to the Master and Disciple pair.

 "Hmph. Stop this shameless bragging " Dorian snorted with a contemptuous expression.

 "Although I know you are just trying to do this to impress my master, but you should know where to stop this shameless bragging. Forget me, even my master cannot brew such a high grade medicine "

 "Koff. Koff" the Old Man coughed awkwardly.

 "The Artic Soothing solution isn't that difficult to brew you stupid disciple. Don't make your master lose face here "

 "It's just that the recipe is very rare and few Divine Physicians possesses it. Not to mention, the process of brewing it is very technical and just a slight error can result in the whole process of the brewing going wrong "

 Just then, the expression of the Old Man became stern as he glanced at Drew.

 "Can you really brew it? and how many percent is your success rate?" He asked.

 "Success rate?" Drew's brows creased in confusion.

 "Hmph. You dare call yourself a Divine Physician and you don't even know what the term success rate means? Master, are you sure this guy isn't a sham?" Dorian sniggered in mockery at the ignorance being displayed by Drew.

 "Stop it Dorian. Be nice"

 Upon chastising his disciple, he focused his attention back on Drew.

 "I apologize for my disciple's unruly behavior. Being a disciple from a Sect bolstered his arrogance and ego by a notch. I hope you didn't take offense at his words"

 "Tch. Master, why are you even apologizing to this guy? He.." Dorian was about to whine out a load of crap, However a sharp glare from his master shut him up.

 "As for the term Success rate, it is the rate at which a Divine Physician successfully brews a medicine with either one or more of it's ingredients being spirit herbs.."

  "Unlike regular herbs, spirit herbs posses spirit energy within them, as such while brewing them, it tends to be a trickish process, since  not only would the Divine Physician have to regulate the flow of spirit energy pulsating within these herbs, they would also have to transfer this spirit energy over to the rest of the herbs in the medicine cauldron"

 "As such, there are times when a Divine Physician tries brewing these medicines, only for it to end up in failure. As such, success rate is the careful analysis of a Divine Physician that shows the how successful they are in brewing these kind of medicine "

 "I won't lie to you, but my success rate is fifty percent. My disciple here has a success rate of forty five percent "

 "Oh. So that's what you were talking about " Drew nodded in understanding.

 "Well, I've not really gone through the stress of tracking down my performance, but since I've started brewing medicine, they've all been a success " Drew reply.

  However his reply was like a dynamite exploding in the ears of the master and disciple pair.
