Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Chapter 620 Infinite Refining

Hearing the slightly contemptuous old voice, Lei Xiao lowered his head and looked at his clothes.

In order to move easily and not attract attention, he only wore a set of sturdy ordinary leather clothes. Although it looked a bit plain, it was carefully sewn by the half-elf craftsmen in the enchantment. It was comfortable and decent and had excellent waterproof effect.

As for the fifth-level leather armor [Pretender's Protection], it has been quickly changed and returned to the space bracelet.

The four people beside them, Hong Ye, Ariel, Bert and Ye Cang, were all dressed in similar outfits and did not wear high-end armor that was too fashionable or conspicuous.

After all, this is Gelin City where security is very good. Rather than focusing on defense, we should pay more attention to the eyes and ears of other forces.

Understanding the sarcasm in the other person's words, Lei Xiao smiled lightly, still looking calm, and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw the long table closest to the door in the spacious and bright hall.

An old man in light yellow attire was stroking his gray beard. He cast a scrutinizing gaze with a somewhat condescending look.

Beside him was the slightly pale Lord of Gelin City, Hod, who had not recovered from his injuries.

After seeing the figures of Lei Xiao, his party, and Richaris, Hod immediately came forward to greet them.

"Master Kallis, these are indeed the distinguished guests I mentioned."

When he got closer, Huo De nodded to Lei Xiao first, and then introduced to the old man in colorful clothes beside him: "This is Your Excellency Sha Chen. It is he who wants to negotiate with you."

Needless to say, the name Sha Chen is another pseudonym that Lei Xiao once used.

Lei Xiao had already considered this before.

This time, we contacted the Gelin City Alchemist Guild in order to avoid possible complications and arouse the vigilance of several other princes.

Naturally, he could not reveal himself as "Princess' guest Chensha", and Ariel could not reveal her true identity as a princess.

Therefore, from the beginning, Lei Xiao had already communicated with Huo De that his identity this time was just a little-known declining nobleman from another country.

"Your Excellency Shachen, this is the vice president of the Gelin City Alchemist Guild, Master Carsley."

Immediately afterwards, Hodder began to introduce the old man in rich clothes who looked at people through his nostrils.

"It turns out to be Master Carsley, what an honor."

Nodding slightly to the old man in rich clothes in front of him, Lei Xiao said with a faint smile.

Lei Xiao had already heard about the vice president of Ge Lincheng Alchemist.

Although this person's strength, like his own, is at the peak level of the third level, his attainments in alchemy can be said to be quite superb.

It is said that it can skillfully refine nearly ten kinds of first-, second- and third-level magic potions with good potency.

Among them, he is famous for his expertise in third-level healing potions.

He is the absolute leader among the third-level alchemists. He can be said to be the second-ranked alchemist in the entire eastern region of Leng Yan, except Master Yatuo.

Moreover, his enthusiasm for alchemy is also very famous.

Rumor has it that he once stayed alone in a sleeping place in the wilderness full of death energy for a whole year, just to test the influence of death energy on alchemy. During this period, he also killed three undead spirits who tried to steal the bones. Sorcerer's Apprentice.

It is precisely because he has been studying alchemy day and night all year round that he has neglected to practice, causing his strength to remain at the peak level of the third level, without a breakthrough.

However, just being good at refining third-level healing potions is enough to make him stand out from the rest.

After all, the value of a third-level healing potion can easily exceed the seven-digit Golden Dragon.

The most critical thing is that in many cases, there is still a price but no market.

This is enough to make many powerful and high-ranking nobles flock to him and treat him as the most respected guest, just to buy a rare third-level healing potion, either to save his life from a serious injury, or to treat him immediately. A life-saving trump card at a critical moment.

"I don't feel very honored."

Old Carsley's wrinkled old eyes were slightly narrowed, and he still looked at Lei Xiao and the other four subordinates in front of him up and down.

"The young man's strength is quite good. He has reached the peak level of the third level at a young age. As for the four subordinates behind him, one of them is at the fourth level, and the other three must have used some secret method to hide their strength. "

Thinking of this in his mind, Old Carsley nodded slightly. Although this kind of strength configuration is already very good, he has seen too many, and it is still not enough for him to take a high look.

"This old man's strength is at the peak level of the third level. With his rich experience, he can at most see the depth of me and Ariel. It seems that he regards Ye Cang, Bert and Hong Ye as three people. He is a strong man who is good at hiding his strength."

Looking at the other party's old face that still looked condescending, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to think: "This is good, but if you reveal your strength too much, it will not be a good thing."

"Young man, since you are the "distinguished guest" invited by Mr. Huo De, you must have come to ask me to refine the third-level magic potion, right? "

Slowly retracting his scrutinizing gaze, Old Carsley said in a routine manner, "If you want me to refine the third-level magic potion, you will need at least 300,000 golden dragons on the basis of your own materials." There is a production fee, but since you were introduced by Mr. Hodder, I’ll just give you a 90% discount.”

After a pause, Old Carsley squinted his eyes again and said leisurely: "However, I have to remind you that among the alchemy materials of the third-level potion, there are at least three types of materials that are rare for ordinary people to see in their lifetime. precious."

"These natural and earthly treasures, when all kinds of harsh conditions are in place, the shortest growth cycle is more than 13 months, and they almost only exist in secret and dangerous places where monsters are everywhere and inaccessible."

Having said this, Old Carsley grinned and said in a preachy tone: "Therefore, alchemy is not a simple matter that can be achieved overnight. Young man, you must be prepared for a long-term search. There are many rare alchemy materials. Even if you are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, it is often a situation where the price is high but the market is not available.”

"I see, I've learned a lesson."

Listening to the old alchemist's series of popular science, Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile on his face, and said politely: "To be honest, old gentleman, I am here just to refine the potion. However, the materials problem, but the old gentleman doesn’t need to worry about it.”

"Oh? It seems like the kids are here well prepared."

Old Carsley's old face trembled in surprise, and then said: "Tell me, which magic potion do you want to refine?"

"The old gentleman seems to have made a mistake. Although my ability is limited, I am not willing to bother the old gentleman just for a magic potion."

Waving his hand slightly, the smile on Lei Xiao's face grew stronger and he spoke.

"How many pills do you want to refine, kid?"

Hearing the sound, old Carsley couldn't help but reappear a trace of scrutinizing doubts on his old face, and asked.

"I want to practice so much."

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he came to the long table and drew an "8" character.

Through this period of understanding, Lei Xiao clearly understood.

In this different world, there is also a counting method with Arabic numerals. Lei Xiao is very suspicious that the origin of this counting method is the work of Wang Xi, who traveled here six hundred years ago.

"8?"

After seeing clearly what Lei Xiao wanted to express, Old Carsley frowned, as if he felt offended in some way, and said in a deep voice: "Young man, don't joke too big, even if you are one of the richest families in the kingdom. The Phytococcus family, at most, only asked me to refine 5 third-level healing potions."

"Old sir, you misunderstood. What I drew was not "8". "

First, he signaled to Old Casley not to get angry in a hurry. Lei Xiao backed away slightly, and then signaled the other party to come to his position.

"I'm sorry for you, a young boy, but you don't dare to be so pretentious."

Old Carsley snorted coldly, and while stroking his gray beard, he slowly walked to Lei Xiao's position.

At this time, from Lei Xiao's perspective, the original "8" has become "∞".

"What symbol is this?"

Seeing "8" coming sideways, a trace of confusion appeared on old Carsley's old face again, and he looked at Lei Xiao with a puzzled expression.

"To be honest, sir, in my hometown, the horizontal "8" means a special meaning, which is "infinity". "

Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said something shocking to the old alchemist: "Therefore, what I just expressed is that it is not just to refine 8 pills, but to refine them infinitely."

"No...infinite refining?!"

After hearing Lei Xiao's explanation, Old Carsley, who is the vice president of the Gelin City Alchemist Guild, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly without any scruples: "Hahaha, infinite refining? This is what I have done in my life. The funniest joke I’ve ever heard!”

For a moment, Old Carsley's wild laughter resounded throughout the hall.

This unbridled laughter made all the alchemists in the hall cast their gazes curiously.

Immediately afterwards, several alchemists who had been paying attention to Lei Xiao and Old Carsley whispered what had just happened to the other alchemists.

"What?! This young boy actually said that he wanted unlimited alchemy of third-level potions in front of the vice-president?!"

In a matter of seconds, everything that happened here had spread to the ears of every alchemist.

"Has this guy been kicked in the head by the Frost Sheep? Even for professionals like us, it would take months or even longer to find the alchemy materials for a third-level magic potion, and it would even be accompanied by danger of life, and he still has Are you talking about infinite refinement? How could there be so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"

"That is, you must know that many high-level nobles with strong family backgrounds can gather all the alchemy materials for a third-level magic potion, and they have already spent all their money. What is the concept of infinite refining? A dozen? Dozens? It’s simply a fantasy!”

"Hehe, this arrogant boy is probably drinking too much and deliberately entertaining the vice-president, right? Now he won't be able to eat and will be walking around."

"That's right. Although the vice president is only at the third level of the peak level, he represents the face of the Alchemist Guild after all. If one of those old guys in the guild headquarters appears, it will be enough to ruin this kid's reputation."

For a moment, all kinds of joking looks were cast towards Lei Xiao.

In the eyes of the alchemists, it seemed that in the next second, this ignorant boy would be in bad luck.

"Sir Huo De, is this what you call a "distinguished guest"? I could tell from the very beginning that this kid was deliberately trying to cause trouble. "

I saw old Carsley looking at the Lord of Gelin City on the side with displeasure, and asked: "Although President Yatuo is not here now, you can't despise our Alchemist Guild so much, right?"

"Even I, the vice-president, have the right to decide that the Alchemist Guild, which has provided a lot of tax revenue to Gelin City, will withdraw from Gelin City!"

The bearded man paused for a moment, and the old Carsley, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, added: "You know, there are many other cities in the surrounding area that are no less than the size of Gelin City, and they all provide the best conditions. Invite us to go there, such as Fanyin City..."

"Master Carsley, what are you talking about?"

Hearing the sound, Hodder had no choice but to wave his hands repeatedly, trying to calm down the angry old alchemist, and then cast a look of help at Lei Xiao.

After experiencing what happened in the Land of God's Favor, he naturally knew it clearly.

Since this mysterious and enigmatic Princess Keqing has spoken, she must be telling the truth... even though this matter sounds very unbelievable.

Thinking of this, Hod took a deep breath and said to the old alchemist in fine clothes in front of him: "Master Carsley, I would like to guarantee it in the name of the Lord of Gelin City. The reason why Lord Shachen said this must be reasonable. , I hope the master will listen to what Mr. Sha Chen has to say."

"Your Excellency Huo De has said so, so I naturally have to give him this face."

Old Carsley's anger seemed to have dissipated a little, and he turned to Lei Xiao beside him and said, "Boy, didn't you falsely claim infinite alchemy? Then I will first let you, an arrogant person, understand these heavenly talents and earthly things. The preciousness of the treasure!”

After finishing speaking, Old Carsley took a step forward, walked to a special metal brocade box placed in the middle of the long table, and carefully opened it.

Judging from the way Old Carsley opened it, it was obvious that some kind of defensive spell had been cast on the box.

As the lid of the box opened, a fist-sized, seemingly soft but crystal clear dark blue crystal caught the eyes of everyone present.

For a moment, the dark blue crystal was quickly covered by a rising mist at a speed visible to the naked eye. It looked like it was filled with fairy spirit, which was surprising.

"This object is called [Luolan Crystal Source]. It is one of the refining materials required for third-level healing potions. It is also an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth."

With an extremely proud smile, the old alchemist began to explain.
