My Teacher Is Too Good For Others. So, I Decided To Marry Her.

Their carriage stopped before a four-story building.

Getting off the carriage, they could see the busy gate with all kinds of people entering or exiting. They all have a hurried look on their face.

Some people need things to save someone's life that are hanging by the thread. Some are preparing for something dangerous. Some people came just to take a look, while some came to find opportunities to do new business.

There were people of high status as well as people of lower stature. There is no time for people to care about others in this place. Everyone is alone among the crowd in this place.

But even in all this chaos, something different was taking place.

As soon as Olen got off the carriage, an attendant came running to greet him. "Young master, it's so nice to see you. It's an honor for us to have you visit us. I hope you are in good health." -told the woman in her red uniform.

Though the people of Alchemy Pavilion don't care about others, how can it be the same for the overlord of this city? The moment a carriage came with the city lord's insignia, men of the alchemy pavilion got alerted.

"Hello, Gia. It's nice you see you too. And yes, I have been very well." Olen said politely.

"That is good to hear. Please come with me. If there is something you are in need of, let me know. That way, we get you what you want without delay." -Gia.

"Oh, I don't need anything. I just came with somebody." -At that moment, Gia saw someone coming out of the carriage.

At first, Gia assumed it would be someone who came guarding the young master. But soon, she understood that she was mistaken.

The person is a lady. She had a veil covering her face. Even so, she gave off an aura that made Gia feel inferior.

The way Elena carried herself made it clear that she was a noble-born.

Her black hair swayed in the gentle breeze that could take a man's sanity. The smooth fair hands that men would willingly give their hearts out just to get touched by it.

Gia couldn't think of anyone to compare with the lady standing before her.

Even without showing her face, Elena has defeated every beauty Gia had known of.

The onlooker directly stood in place. The busy, the desperate, or the aloof who didn't care about worldly matters, all couldn't help but stand to take a glance at the beauty that graced before their eyes.

Even Gia, as a woman, couldn't help but admire the beauty. Still, as a professional, she composed herself.

"Oh, I'm pleased to meet you. Please address me as Gia. I'll be guiding you through our establishment. As a guest of the young master, we will surely provide our most sincere care." –Gia said while bowing. Though she inwardly wanted to get close to Elena, her job wouldn't allow her to inconvenience the guest anyway. So, she stopped herself.

Gia led them inside very politely. She may not know Elena's origin, but the quality of the fabric she was wearing and the fact that she was accompanied by the young master and only son of the city lord shows that she is no ordinary person.

There may not be anyone present with them, but she knows there must be people from the city lord's mansion keeping an eye on them. So she wouldn't be careless.

Elena wasn't even wearing anything fancy. There was no jewel whatsoever. What she is wearing is the gown she wears for a casual walk.

It is nothing fancy, but it is comfortable. But even that type of fabric is fancy in this place.

"Miss, is there anything you want in particular? You just have to say it. We will deliver to the lord's mansion." Gia informed while walking. She would have liked to hold Elena's hand while showing her around. And she would have done that if there wasn't anyone around.

"What is the highest grade of alchemist here?" Elena asked with very little expectation.

But this made Gia puff up her chest as she announced, "We are proud to have master Moscov who is currently at level two of yellow grade. Very few cities have such high-grade alchemist masters. Even the capital only has a few such alchemists. So you can rest assured that you will get some of the finest alchemical products here."

Alchemist Moscov is very famous around here. Anything that comes out of his hand is sure to make the crowd fight over it.

Being affiliated with the same Alchemical Pavilion, Gia felt very proud to talk about him. It is as if she has accomplished something great.

But Elena felt disappointed. She didn't have much expectation of finding someone incredible here. But hearing even the capital didn't have any good alchemists made her feel very bad.

Even so, she kept following behind Gia. They were brought to the VIP area on the second floor.

The crowd here is very few as not everyone is allowed here.

Everything here is very expensive, and couldn't be bought by just anyone.

There were many concoctions like Pills, Elixirs, Pallets, and such displayed neatly behind glass boxes.

They were separated into sections according to their uses. Customers could either sit in a place to order the thing they wanted or they could browse through and see if they liked anything.

Elena informed her that she would like to browse through the floor to see if she finds anything. Elena didn't know what exactly she would find here. So she wanted to be left alone. That way, they won't be a bother.

Gia was disappointed. She asked if Olen would need anything. Though he was young, being the son of the city lord, he knew about different pills and their uses.

He asked for an agility-enhancing pill. Currently, he didn't need it. Even so, he asked for it, as it would look bad if he didn't get anything after coming here.

Jon said, 'In battle, speed is the most important thing'. So it won't be a waste to get some. It wasn't expensive. Anything that Olen would need in his current state is all low-grade pills.

Still, Gia complied smilingly. It is already good to have a good relationship with the young master of the city lord's mansion. The small transaction didn't matter to her.

Anyway, after asking for the thing, Olen followed Elena quietly. The alchemy pavilion is a here covered lot of grounds. The ground floor was for commoners, while the first floor was for VIPs.

Everything is enclosed in glass boxes and is laid around the whole floor. Any of these items would make the eyes of commoners on the ground floor open wide.

These items have the lowest price of a hundred gold coins. And these pills are only 'spirit recovery pills' for level one of the yellow-grade spiritualists. To Elena, these are useless.

These are consumables used to recover spirit when cultivators exhaust their spirit energy. Elena has no use for these.

But, even as useless as they are to her, she can only afford about five of them a month with her monthly salary.

And the reason for this high price is the low number that can be produced. So, this pill is used as a strategic pill for high-ranking spiritualists.

She didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.

Because she has thousands of pills that are a full grade higher than these junks.

The reason she had a lot of these is because they are consumable. It is used mostly during a fight or in the middle of a mission to restore their fighting capability swiftly.

Elena was mostly traveling around before the incident. She had a lot for these emergencies.

Now she became confused. Is she too rich or too poor?

She doesn't want to flaunt her wealth as she would stick out like a sore thumb. But without those, she was really poor.

She didn't have low-grade materials. Those are of no use to her. She would let her followers carry the low-grade unimportant materials as well as the different monster parts.

The money she is carrying has the seal of empire on it. If she were to use it, it would be like practically announcing her origin. So these are no good either.

Elena finally finished giving a clean sweep over the whole floor but didn't find anything of use. Elena wanted to see if she could find any pills or Elixirs for Spirit wounds.

Though their level may be too low to do anything to her, something is better than nothing. She didn't ask for such pills directly because she didn't want anyone to know about her spirit injuries, at least not everyone.

For this reason, even if she had found something, she was going to order it through someone like Jon in the name of the Alden house. That way, people won't be able to know of her circumstances.

But sadly, she couldn't find any of the pills there. There are some in green grade. But not one of them is in yellow grade.

It seems the pills for spirit injury are quite valuable and rare in this place. The injured people mostly let time heal them naturally. The other option for them is to find some rare spirit fruits. She felt very disappointed.

Elena needed more information. But she was feeling vexed. She has to go a roundabout way to get herself fixed.

There was a section where the plants were displayed. She moved on to that area for a look. Not being a herbalist, she didn't know much about the plants. So, for now, she just wanted to see what herbs could be found in this area.

There were known herbs as well as unknown ones. But she just looked and kept the names in her head. She would read about these when she got back. She kept a lot of books in her storage.

Her aunt always said knowledge is power. She was made to bring the books of botany, alchemy treasure scriptures, and martial scriptures around by her aunt. Till now, they were useless.

'I should give my thanks to Aunt when I'm back.' -She thought. She was thinking... how she felt about the garbage that kept occupying her storage for a long time till now. And to think these wastes of space would be the shining hope for her to get out of this place.

And after looking for some time, she did find something useful. She knew of this because these herbs are grown in the garden back at home.

It's called the "Night-Fall" herb. It has a very nice smell to it. And the flowers bloom only at night. So the herb is grown as decoration back at her home.

It's a yellow-grade plant. She only knew of these because the family used them to make baths for her when she was younger. These special baths can strengthen children's spirits.

But it has another use. The dried flower could be ground and mixed with some other herbs of the same grade. It could make a great concoction that has a nourishing effect on spirits. It isn't much, but at least it is better than nothing.

She didn't know the exact amount or procedure for the concoction. But that doesn't matter. What are those garbage books there for?

She felt a bit happier when she saw the price of the plant less than other plants of the same grade.

As this plant was being grown in their courtyard, she knew this particular herb had other uses than just that.

It is mostly used as a substitute for other higher-level herbs in pill concoctions. In a sense, it should be the most pricy herb here. But that wasn't the case here.

"Even though it is of yellow grade pant, it is found everywhere near the mountain. And there are very few uses for this. The noble ladies use these as perfume and the only other uses are that they can upgrade the grade of some green-grade pills. So the price is kept low." answered the nearby attendant when Elena asked about the reason.

Hearing that, Elena was shocked again. In this remote place, the spirit energy is already so low that people can't do anything with this. And now, when there's a good thing, they are just wasting it. This is so absurd.

Normally, this kind of herb needs a special dark place to grow. But they are saying it is found everywhere near mountains? That is a question she doesn't know the answer to. They are selling this plant as decoration in this place.

But Elena didn't need the whole plant. What she wants is just the flowers.

"Can I get only the flowers?" Elena asked.

"Oh, yes. But they are on the first floor with the green-grade pill ingredients. If you need it I shall bring them for you." The attendant replied.

"You don't need to bring them to me. Just send them to Alden's house."

"Are you looking for good perfume by any chance? Mom likes these too. She recently started to buy the reduced extract of it. Those are sold in the treasure pavilion. You can try them too if you want." -Seeing Elena order 'Night-fall' flower, Olen suggested from behind. His mother gets these regularly. So he is familiar with this too. This has a very sweet smell. He likes it too.

Elena turned only to look at the 'eager to help' face. She doesn't like busybodies. But she couldn't scold him with the innocent face Olen was making.

"No, it's fine. I'd take the flowers as they are." She replied.

After placing the order, she looked around with nothing particular in mind.

There was a gathering of people going at a side. So, she went to join the fun.
