Chapter 327: Sage's Stone

Alchemy City, this is not the name of a city, but a general term for the area where alchemists live.

The Tuktra Islands are where the top alchemists in the inner ring world live.

Of course, most of the alchemists who dare to live in groups practice material alchemy.

Those who practice life alchemy are likely to violate taboos, so of course the more remote the better.

…

Because material alchemy consumes too much of various extraordinary resources, correspondingly, the production capacity is also relatively large.

Therefore, around these alchemists living in groups, a large-scale extraordinary resource trading market in the inner world is often formed.

On a dark and windy night, the Sea Kite and the Yunshan arrived at the largest port in the Tuktra Islands.

“There are so many people!”

“This is the first time I have seen so many extraordinary people!”

Thousands of cargo ships are coming in and out of the port.

Not surprisingly, the weakest crew on the ship is also a low-level extraordinary person.

This is because material alchemy is more likely to leak alien radiation, causing energy pollution.

So ordinary people are not allowed to approach here at all.

It is rumored that if ordinary people are exposed here for three days, their cells will inevitably become abnormal.

...

"Three days, we will stay here for a maximum of three days!"

"With the scale of the Alchemy City here, it is enough to easily digest the various resources we bring."

"If you want to buy anything, you can also purchase it here."

"As for the safety issue, no alchemist dares to offend our top ten super magic academies."

"Unless they want to become stray dogs!"

On the Sea Kite, Senior Sister Caroline gathered everyone and explained everything to everyone.

Scarcity makes things valuable, and the resources of the Ascension Island in their hands must be sold as soon as possible.

Because once the academy develops the Ascension Island on a large scale, and various resources are continuously pouring out, the value will inevitably be discounted.

Of course, there will be a buffer period of one and a half years during this period.

But now is indeed the most profitable time to sell these resources.

No wonder Senior Sister Feng Zining deliberately took a detour to come to the Alchemy City.

After all, she had collected the most resources, and selling for one cent less would be a huge loss.

…

"Senior sister is awesome, and Senior Sister Feng is thoughtful!"

"I have wanted to come to this Alchemy City for a long time, but I never had the chance before. I must visit it today."

"Buy, buy, buy!"

Perhaps because they thought they would soon achieve financial freedom, everyone on the Sea Kite was very excited.

The only one who was a little depressed was Chen Qi.

After all, he had too much in his space ring, and he certainly couldn't sell it here.

Compared to this insignificant wealth, Chen Qi still felt that his two rings were more important.

Anyway, it would take a year or two for Shengxian Island to develop on a large scale.

No hurry, no hurry, this batch of goods will definitely not be a waste of money.

…

In fact, Yunshan and Haiyuan attracted everyone's attention before they arrived at the port.

It was because the things on their ships were too ostentatious. The spiritual light that soared into the sky could be seen clearly from hundreds of miles away.

So when Chen Qi and his party got off the boat, they were surrounded by groups of merchants.

But most of these guys were just some middlemen. They could not possibly eat Chen Qi and his party's goods except for making money out of nothing.

Before Chen Qi and his party got angry, the security team responsible for maintaining order at the port rushed up and beat and kicked these blind guys.

They were really obsessed with money. They didn't even look at who these masters were. Could they be provoked and served?

These were "distinguished guests" from the Tianwu Spell Academy, the kind that could not be offended even if they paid money.

...

So with the security team leading the way and escorting them, Chen Qi and his party walked into the Alchemy City with a few sacks.

After all, most people came to the Alchemy City for the first time, so of course they had to find out the way first.

The resources they carried with them were just right for testing the market.

Half an hour later, Chen Qi felt that the people here were simple and honest, and there was not even a single profiteer to be seen.

At this time, the sack he was holding had disappeared, but there were hundreds of [Wan Fossils] in the backpack behind him.

…

Wan Fossils, this is a very unique artificial alchemical material.

Its greatest function is that it can be used in almost any alchemical experiment as a catalyst.

The reason why Chen Qi exchanged all the resources in that sack for Wan Fossils was of course not to use it as a catalyst.

These 100 Wan Fossils are enough to conduct tens of thousands of alchemical experiments.

How stupid Chen Qi must be to be so hardworking!

The reason why Chen Qi chose it from a wide variety of products is just because Xiaobai likes to eat it.

…

After entering the Alchemy City, Chen Qi not only opened his eyes and gained knowledge.

Then he had no desire to buy.

It was because the products in the alchemy market had no effect on Chen Qi.

He practiced all the way, and everything went smoothly, so he never took drugs.

Any of the treasures in his hands could not be made by these half-baked alchemists in the inner ring world.

Strictly speaking, the alchemists in the Alchemy City can almost be regarded as casual cultivators from the ancient era.

The real alchemy sects are all in the Outer Ring World!

It is conceivable that even if these casual cultivators have some unique skills, due to the resources of the inner world, it is impossible to develop any peerless treasures.

Anyway, Chen Qi walked around and didn't like it at all.

Chen Qi originally wanted to buy some food for himself, but it turned out that the most popular item sold here was Baicao Pills.

And the price is so high!

It's right to think about it. The flowers and plants in the inner world are so fragile that they can't squeeze out much oil and water.

…

Chen Qi didn't find anything edible, so he could only chew the Baicao pills he carried with him.

But when passing by a store, Xiaobai became restless.

This made Chen Qi very interested!

Xiaobai has always been so Buddhist and rarely interested in the outside world.

After Chen Qi entered this luxurious store, he finally found Wanshi Stone.

The price of this thing is thousands of times more expensive than Baicao Pills.

But as long as Xiaobai likes to eat it, Chen Qi will pay for it without hesitation, and he will completely sweep the goods away.

The full aura of a rich man, combined with the sack Chen Qi carried, almost gave the clerk a heart attack.

…

"Wanshi Stone is a bit interesting!"

"Xiaobai was very excited after eating it."

After walking out of the store, Chen Qi casually fed Xiaobai ten thousand fossils.

As a result, Chen Qi obviously felt that Xiaobai's spirituality was more active, which was a "good sign"!

Xiaobai's biggest problem now is that his spirituality is too weak to exert the power he has.

Likewise, because the spirit is too weak, it is unable to have deeper contact with the power it controls.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, Chen Qi had to admit it.

The fields that Xiaobai is now exposed to are much more advanced than him.

According to the only truth in the world, "What belongs to Xiaobai is mine." Of course, Chen Qi must try his best to improve Xiaobai's strength.

Now Xiaobai is Chen Qi's heartthrob. As for the rebellious son who ran away from home, sooner or later he will cry.

…

Although Ten Thousand Stones are a bit expensive, and it seems that if you want Xiaobai to be promoted, the amount you need to spend is a bit high.

But just thinking about Xiaobai's outstanding performance on Shengxian Island, Chen Qi felt that everything was as it should be.

Unfortunately, although the Wanshi stone is widely used, it seems to be quite durable.

Each store doesn't have much stock. Chen Qi doesn't plan to scan the goods from store to store. That would be too tiring.

So Chen Qi sent a message to Wang Tianlang, asking him to help dispose of all the resources on his ship and replace them with Wan Shi.

Wang Tianlang was extremely excited after receiving the news from his eldest brother. He didn't regard himself as an outsider!

This thigh is stable!

…

For Wang Tianlang, helping Chen Qi deal with extraordinary resources is not a troublesome thing, but a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

He is not alone. Although his position in the family is a bit embarrassing, he can still use the power of the Wang family to some extent outside.

The resources of Shengxian Island are in high demand. As one of the few large-scale trading markets in Alchemy City, the Wang Family of Langya Pavilion naturally has shops here.

He naturally has to do a good job of taking care of his own business and getting closer to his eldest brother at the same time.

Isn't it just Ten Thousand Fossils? Apart from being relatively scattered and cumbersome to collect, it's really not a scarce thing.

I will definitely handle it myself.

…

So Chen Qi quickly received Wang Tianlang's sworn guarantee.

At the same time, I got more information about Wan Shi.

Chen Qi really didn't expect that Wanshi Stone had quite an origin.

The initial birth of Ten Thousand Fossils can be traced back to the [Creators]'s research on the [Sage Stone].

In the ancient cultivation era, practitioners were called saints after they entered the holy realm.

Saints possess all kinds of incredible powers, one of which is to "enlighten life."

According to myths and legends, when a certain saint was traveling around the world, he saw a strange stone on the top of the Endless Mountains.

The saint fell in love with it, so he used his magic power to give it life and turn it into a living creature.

…

This myth and legend may not be true, but it is absolutely true that saints can enlighten lives.

It's just that enlightenment of life is a rather taboo thing for saints.

Because every time a saint enlightens life, a part of himself will turn to stone and fall off, and it can never be restored.

The so-called sage's stone is the petrified part that fell off after the saint enlightened life.

It can be said that the essence of the Sage's Stone is a part of the saint. Such a mysterious thing naturally aroused the interest of the [Creator].

As a result, after some research, the mystery of the Sage Stone was not revealed, but instead a series of by-products were produced.

Wanshi is one of the most widely used.

…

The refining of Ten Thousand Stones requires the use of nuclear iron, and there is a lot of it.

To a certain extent, it is a sublimation and development of nuclear iron.

It's just that the nuclear iron used in refining the Ten Thousand Stones is not one kind, but has different quantities.

The more types of nuclear iron are used, the higher the quality of Wanshi.

What Chen Qi just bought can only be considered to be of the lowest quality, and only uses three types of nuclear iron.

Wang Tianlang has promised him that he will do his best to purchase higher-quality Wanshi stones for him.

This made Chen Qi very satisfied.

…

"It's a pity. With Wang Tianlang's channels and strength, he will definitely not be able to find the [Philosopher's Stone]."

"This thing is the culmination of the Creators' research on the Sage's Stone, and only the Creators can refine it."

"And it is simply impossible for the Creator to appear in the Inner Ring World."

The Philosopher's Stone and the Sage's Stone may seem to be the same word apart, but the difference they represent is that of a saint and a mortal.

In front of the holy realm, all living beings below the saint are equal.

Chen Qi doesn't expect to get the Sage's Stone, but if he can get one, it should be enough for Xiaobai to upgrade to three levels in a row.

I hope that after joining the academy, I will have the opportunity to obtain it.

Compared to Wang Tianlang, Chen Qi still felt that the Tianwu Curse Academy was more reliable.

…

Wang Tianlang was responsible for collecting the tens of thousands of fossils, so naturally Chen Qi could only continue to wander around leisurely.

Maybe he is lucky enough to catch something!

It's a pity that Chen Qi seemed to be born with no chance of missing this fate. He had obviously secretly opened his fairy eyes very wide, but what happened!

Those so-called "leaks" weren't even worth his time.

When walking around a corner, Chen Qi saw many people gathered here.

What’s quite interesting is that there is actually a magic show going on here.

If it was an ordinary magic trick, Chen Qi would naturally not bother to take a second look.

But what surprised Chen Qi was that the magic performed here turned out to be [Tiantian Rope].

…

"Okay, okay!"

"It's amazing, here's another one!"

The performance of Tongtian Rope was a great success, winning bursts of cheers and applause.

This is the city of alchemy, and there are no mortals appearing here.

It can make a group of extraordinary people feel incredible. You can imagine the magic of this magic.

Chen Qi came a little late and only saw the last scene where the performers got into the clouds and mist.

But with Chen Qi's eyesight and realm, even one glance was enough for him to see through the truth.

…

"interesting!"

"I didn't expect to see a special inheritor today!"

"Obviously he is just a controller with a second spiritual sublimation, but he is able to summon the power of authority. Is it because he signed a contract with some kind of existence?"

When Chen Qi was in Blue Taro Country, the first thing he received was the inheritance from Taimoya Magic Academy.

Before the birth of the new method, magic apprentices needed the help of the "Book of Four Symbols" to complete their spiritual awakening.

After the birth of the new method, the inheritance of magic had to be improved in order to survive.

Magic apprentices also need to use the "Spirit World Declaration" to complete their awakening.

But after becoming extraordinary, they can also sign a contract with the Four Symbols Book.

But at this time, Sixiangshu became more stingy. Not only did it no longer provide free contract signing services, but it started charging.

The contractor not only needs to set up a huge magic circle, but also needs to use the source ore as a sacrifice.

…

According to what Chen Qi now knows, after signing the contract, although the contractor will receive a lot of benefits, his spiritual growth will be very slow.

Especially if you want to be promoted to Silver Apostle, the Book of Four Symbols may not be able to help you complete the promotion, but it will definitely prevent you from being promoted.

It's no wonder that the magic inheritance is getting weaker and weaker.

The situation of other special inheritances is basically similar to that of magic inheritance.

The guy performing the Tongtian Rope in front of him is a contractor.

Chen Qi could clearly detect that his spirituality was not pure.

But what is quite interesting is that after his magic show was successful, his spirituality actually increased a little.

Could this be the ability given by the one behind him?

…

After admiring a few more magic tricks and confirming that this guy was really just practicing, Chen Qi completely lost interest.

Chen Qi originally thought that this guy had obtained the inheritance of the Sky Rope, but he didn't expect that it was still just a deception.

It's just that this blinding method is relatively clever and involves the power of authority, which is enough to fool most of the controllers.

Shortly after Chen Qi left, the performer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was so terrifying just now. In his spiritual sense, he felt a terrifying eyeball staring at him.

If he hadn't always done his duty and behaved honestly, he would have been frightened to death.

As expected, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world. It seems that I should keep a low profile in the future.

…

After wasting half a day, Chen Qi almost visited the Alchemy City.

If the resources in his cabin hadn't been cleared out, Chen Qi would have wanted to go back to the Haiyuan.

However, what Chen Qi didn't expect was that just when he thought that today was going to be an ordinary day.

There was a clash of powers of authority in the sky above the Alchemy City.

And this number is not just one or two, but a dozen or so stocks of power colliding with each other.

"Is there something fun to watch again?"

Chen Qi was refreshed and finally no longer bored.

…

However, what made Chen Qi quite depressed was that the confrontation of power only lasted for a moment and then ceased.

This is too cowardly!

Perhaps because he was used to fighting and killing on Shengxian Island, Chen Qi was really not used to the stable and harmonious environment of the Inner Ring World.

Chen Qi was quite curious about what happened just now, so he sent a message to Senior Sister Caroline.

The reason why those guys stopped just now was because they were directly suppressed by Senior Sister Feng Zining.

Senior Sister Feng's terrifying power is already infinitely close to the silver level.

Soon, Chen Qi received a reply from Senior Sister Caroline.

"Disaster star, leftover, auction!"

…

"Disaster? What is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"There are so many things in the inner ring world that Albert doesn't know."

"It seems that we can't have too high hopes for this old man's memory."

Chen Qi was still wondering, the turmoil caused by the power confrontation just now finally broke out.

Fortunately, this is the Alchemy City, and fortunately, the concentration of spiritual energy here is very low.

There were only a few dozen fireworks in the sky, but it was enough to scare many timid guys.

...

Soon after the fireworks bloomed, various news began to spread rapidly.

Soon, countless heads surged towards the largest auction house in the city center.

Many people were there to watch the excitement. They didn't know what was going on, but they only knew that a very unique treasure was going to be auctioned publicly.

Chen Qi was pushed forward by the crowd involuntarily.

He was really not interested in the auction. After all, Chen Qi was just a poor man on the surface.

He was afraid that he would get addicted to the place where he pretended to be cool and slapped his face.

Soon, Chen Qi appeared in the VIP seat.

And next to him was Senior Sister Feng Zining, who was smiling happily after getting rich.
