Jia Lan made a "whatever you want" gesture. Dave was a real tough guy. He took out a dagger and cut his arm hard. The wound was half a foot long and half an inch deep. The skin and flesh were turned open, like a terrifying big mouth. Blood gushed out, and the three girls next to him screamed. Dave quickly apologized to the three girls. Then he picked up a little "violet ointment" with his little finger and carefully applied it to the wound. The magical thing is that the blood was immediately blocked by the sticky ointment. When he covered the wound with the ointment, the bleeding stopped completely! The mercenaries present were all stunned. You know, the common "recovery potion" on the market can only make the blood coagulate to form a blood scab to stop bleeding, and it has a slight effect of preventing the wound from festering, but the function is limited to this. Because the "recovery potion" is a liquid, it can only treat small wounds, otherwise the blood can easily wash away the potion and it cannot stop bleeding at all. But "Violet Ointment" can not only stop bleeding quickly, but also seal wounds and prevent blood loss. It is also effective for large wounds. For mercenaries and adventurers who are often injured, this is simply a life-saving straw!
Div shouted excitedly: "This is the effect of the 'Black Iron Grade' advanced potion, no! At least the effect of the 'Brass Grade' primary potion!" He stared at the ointment excitedly, and the other mercenaries also breathed rapidly, staring at the ointment with their eyes.
They, the combat professionals, especially need this kind of potion that can save lives in adventures. After all, the holy light priests and water and wood magicians called "angels" are simply not affordable for their small mercenary groups.
Don't talk about them, even the treatment units of large adventure groups are less than one percent of the team members. It's good for a large mercenary group to have more than ten healers. In large-scale missions, healers will indeed accompany them, but when they are really needed, it often means that the team will suffer heavy losses.
Moreover, the number of healers is limited, and their existence is more of a symbol of stabilizing the team and calming people's hearts. Only the top leaders of the team can enjoy their services. Ordinary mercenaries are not treated by them at all when they are injured.
Most of the Holy Light priests are members of the Holy Light Church. There are very few non-church priests, and most of the church priests live in the church and rarely go out. There are even fewer priests willing to join the mercenary group.
Although the healing effect of the Holy Light priests is very good, people who are injured in the adventure often die before they return to the town with the church. Except for the large-scale missions of exterminating evil creatures invited by the official or the lord, they can't be counted on at all.
Although water and wood magicians often participate in adventures, few of them really stay in the mercenary group. Because large mercenary groups have to support more than ten magicians, the cost is high, and small and medium-sized mercenary groups can't afford it at all.
The magician's healing ability is just a drop in the bucket for a large number of injured people, and can only rescue the dying. Therefore, the mercenaries can only count on the pharmacist. Although the recovery speed and effect of the potion are not as good as the magician, it is much better than the mercenaries grabbing charcoal ash to stop bleeding themselves.
However, the mercenary group cannot afford to hire a large number of pharmacists. Pharmacists who are capable of making bronze-level potions or above can make a lot of money no matter where they are. Why should they run around and take risks with the mercenary group? Therefore, the mercenary group can only hire low-level pharmacists at the station to make potions with the medicinal materials collected by the mercenary members when they go on missions. In this way, the mercenary group can get the "Black Iron-level" primary potions at cost price, saving costs; low-level pharmacists can also get medicinal materials for free and improve their pharmaceutical level. However, some expensive and effective potions still have to be purchased from the pharmacy by mercenaries. It was when Dave and his team were purchasing potions at the pharmacy that they met Jia Lan and noticed him.

Seeing that Jia Lan had asked several pharmacy stores but failed to sell the potion, they thought he was a pharmacist apprentice and wanted to invite him to the station as a pharmacist. After all, a small mercenary group like "Iguana's Tooth" can only afford a pharmacist apprentice.
But unexpectedly, the conflict between Jia Lan and Dagar accidentally made them discover that the potion in his hand had a strong healing effect, which made them very happy!
If a pharmacist apprentice who is not a member of the Pharmacist Association but can prepare high-quality potions can be included in the mercenary group, it will undoubtedly play a great role in promoting the development of the mercenary group. Because of this, there was a situation in the market where Di Fu and others rashly called Jia Lan.
However, Di Fu and others never expected that the potion in Jia Lan's hand was surprisingly good, far beyond their understanding of potions, which made them very disappointed. Because it is almost impossible for someone who can prepare such a potion to join their mercenary group.
Undoubtedly, the quality of [Violet Cream] has reached at least the level of [Black Iron Grade] advanced potion, and even approaches the level of [Brass Grade] primary potion, which can only be prepared by an intermediate pharmacist!
This made Div and the others hesitate. Although this potion is good, it is too good for them. They began to doubt whether they can afford it!
After all, advanced potions above [Brass Grade] can usually only be bought in large pharmacy stores in big cities, and as for [Silver Grade] master potions, they can only appear in auction houses!
No matter which one, the price of these potions is not affordable for mercenaries like them who are struggling at the bottom.
Compared with asking a Holy Light priest or a mage to cast a spell, the price of potions is relatively cheap. For the same injury, it only costs five silver jims to use potions, and the minimum cost of asking a priest to cast a potion will not be less than five gold talans.
But with the improvement of potion quality, this situation has reversed. Carrying a bottle of potion that can treat serious injuries is like carrying a priest with you, who can save lives at any time. Even if the price is high, it is worth it!
And [Violet Cream] obviously has such an effect. Div and others are too conservative in their evaluation of this potion. If a regular senior pharmacist were to identify it, I am afraid he would directly give it the evaluation of a high-level potion!
This level of potion is so expensive that it is hard to buy. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. This is because Jia Lan does not understand the potion market of this era, so he did the stupid thing of selling it in a small pharmacy in the magic market.
Otherwise, he only needs to find an auction house to get a sky-high auction price. For the mercenaries who lick blood on the knife, no matter how much Jintalan they earn, can it be more precious than their own lives?
"Respected... respected magician!"
Div asked cautiously: "Please... please ask, how many gold tarans do you plan to sell this [Violet Cream] for?"
Jia Lan, who was playing with the wine glass, looked at Div's nervous expression, and his heart was moved. He smiled calmly: "Then, how many gold tarans are you willing to buy it for?"
Div swallowed his saliva involuntarily, hesitated for a long time, and then quoted a price: "Two gold tarans... no! Five gold tarans..."
He really couldn't make up his mind, because he remembered that he had just applied less than one-fifth of the ointment on the moderate wound on his arm, which means that this bottle of [Violet Cream] is enough to treat five moderate injuries, and even if it is saved a little, it can also treat two or three serious injuries.
