"Teacher, you are going too far. How could you leave me there?"

In the library, Herman was still chattering about yesterday's events, but he stopped when Maester Lamont just looked at him calmly.

His "reverence" for his teacher has almost become a habit.

"You're being mean to me again..." Heman muttered in a low voice, as if he glanced at Yin Lai not far away, wanting to ask for help.

"Okay, you better stop messing with the teacher." Yin Lai said with a smile.

It seems that Herman is always the one who gets hurt.

Today is the second day after the banquet, and they follow their daily routine to visit the teacher.

Laimeng sat on the chair. It seemed that only by sitting there could he have all his strength. He glanced at Heman, who was not doing well, and then at Yin Lai. Then he took out a bag from the table and said:

"Yin Lai, this is a reward from the library."

Yin Lai was a little curious and took the bag.

In his pocket, there were three golden talars.

"This is?" In fact, he had already guessed what it was.

"This is your reward for grabbing the count's donation from the knight academy and the monastery. It's not much, but you also know that the library is also very difficult now." Count Laimeng looked at Yin Lai and said.

"Thank you, teacher, thank you, director, and thank you, library." Yin Lai couldn't be more dissatisfied. This was a windfall!

He can start his potion simplification work in advance.

"Well, and the earl, if possible, try to maintain a friendly relationship and get to know more important people. It will always be helpful to you." Seeing Yin Lai pick up Jintar, he reminded again.

"I know, teacher." Yin Lai smiled, then he took out two gold tals and put the bag back on the table.

"What is this?" Bachelor Laimeng seemed a little confused.

"Teacher, if you weren't here, I wouldn't have had the chance. If I hadn't, Jintar would just consider it as my contribution and purchase some new research materials for you, teacher." Yin Lai replied with a smile.

"This is not possible!" Laimeng shook his head. He is a bachelor, how can he accept gold coins from students!

"Teacher, it's not much. I still remember that you accepted me as your student, otherwise I would be an ordinary librarian now." Yin Lai said again.

He is a person who appreciates kindness.

"Okay then." This time, Bachelor Lai Meng did not refuse, but looked at Yin Lai with a more kind look.

…

Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

In one month.

Yin Lai went to Moore Manor three times in total to help the count train horses and tamed about twenty horses. The process went smoothly without any accidents. Yin Lai also obtained two Jintars.

The main reason is that the Earl's wild horses are not transported to the racecourse all at once, but in batches.

After all, the racecourse is so big, and there are already some horses kept there. It is impossible to allow nearly a hundred more horses. They can only be transported in batches, tamed and then transported away.

Yin Lai didn't have any objections to this. Anyway, the manor was not very far from the city. He could also take a trip to his secret base. It happened to be on the way. It wouldn't be a big deal if he just went there a few more times.

"It's time to go find Roland."

He already had four Jintars in his hand, enough for him to conduct the first round of experiments.

He hasn't seen Roland for a long time.

…

Three days later.

Rose Chamber of Commerce.

In a simple but not luxurious room on the second floor.

Yin Lai sat on the sofa, and opposite him sat his friend Roland, whom he had known for a long time.

However, compared to more than three years ago, Roland was more mature at this time. His black hair was thicker, and his blue eyes were less translucent and more shrewd than before. He sat opposite Yin Lai and said with a smile:

"Yin Lai, I've found all the materials you want."

"Thank you." Yin Lai nodded.

He told Roland his needs two days ago, and then Roland helped him use the power of the Chamber of Commerce to collect materials. In just two days, the collection was completed.

It can only be said that he is indeed in the perfume and herbal medicine business. If he were asked to collect it, he might not be able to collect it in a few months. This also reflects the importance of connections.

"Hey, by the way, why do you need so many materials?" On the other side, Roland was a little confused.

"I've been studying some herbal medicine recently, and I think it's very interesting." Yin came up with an excuse.

"That's right." Roland nodded. Now that he has taken over the family business, he knows more and more people, but has fewer and fewer close friends. Yin Lai is a very special one among them.

How special, as if he doesn't care about anything.

It always made him feel like Yin Lai was looking at the world from a higher level, but it was very contradictory. How could an ordinary person make him feel this way? He could only attribute it to his awe for scholars like Yin Lai.

"But friends are friends, I can't give these materials to you for free, at least they can't make me lose money." Roland already had the consciousness of a businessman.

"Of course." Yin Lai smiled and took out four Jintars from his arms, which was his entire current net worth.

The experiment of transforming the potion will definitely take a long time, and he doesn't know how long these can support him.

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be a rich man." Roland laughed when he saw Jintal, and then put Jintal away.

"I will arrange for these materials to be delivered to your home." Roland stood up, but added the next second:

"Hey, by the way, I heard that a high-end place has opened on Liuying Street, and there is even a down-and-out noblewoman there. Do you want to go with us?"

Yin Lai glanced at Roland strangely, "Okay, am I this kind of person?"

"Go."

"Call me then."

"You've changed so much, kid."

"You haven't changed at all!"

…

Yin Lai's experiment begins.

Because the money was collected in advance, he started the work of simplifying herbal medicine in advance, but this work was much more difficult and complicated than Yin Lai had imagined.

Due to the insufficient inheritance of potions, Yin Lai had to explore many things alone, and the experimental progress was stuck in the first stage.

He divided the transformation work of potions into three stages, namely preliminary screening of materials, specific replacement of materials, and preparation of potions.

The first stage is the most time-consuming and the most wasteful of money, because he has to spend a lot of time to collect herbs with the effectiveness of the original medicine, which can only rely on one experiment at a time.

But it doesn't matter to Yin Lai, after all, he can learn a lot from it.

As for when the magic potion can be refined, it all depends on fate, and he is not in a hurry.

Three months later, Yin Lai's first phase of work stopped again.

Not because I succeeded, but because I ran out of money.

The high-intensity experiments consumed materials quickly. It only took three months to complete all the materials he purchased. However, for reasons unknown to the count, the horses were not shipped in the past three months, which resulted in him having no new ones. Jintar entered the account and could not support the experiment.

Of course there is a salary in the library, but for a student who is not even a scholar, his salary is just that much, which is a drop in the bucket.

"You can't steal or rob." On this day, Yin Lai had just sorted out the books in the library and went to visit the teacher.

Push open the door.

Bachelor Laimeng was yelling and dancing, while in the corner stood an aggrieved Herman with his head lowered.
Chapter completed!
