In the mercenary union's room, two figures were standing in front of Zhang Xiaoman.
The number of guests who originally came to visit him today has changed from one to two now.
With his strength, it is absolutely impossible for the people in the mercenary union to pretend they didn't see it after they found out about it.
"Okay, you two, if you have anything to say, please say it as soon as possible. The experiment I just conducted is still at a critical stage and needs more data to support it, but I don't have time to sit here."
Zhang Xiaoman said straight to the point.
When he said these words, he couldn't help but glance at the gray mucus in the crucible not far away, and then looked at Ifei who was sitting beside him, looking at a loss.
Fox and Dawn also looked over. For a moment, all the eyes in the field were focused on her, making her feel a huge pressure.
"Hello, Lord Ji Xing, I am Rickon Fox from the Ironforge Chamber of Commerce. It is an honor to meet you."
The oldest president of the Chamber of Commerce spoke first.
"Your Excellency Jixing, thank you very much for helping several members of our Chamber of Commerce on Fengpeng. Without you, I am afraid those people would have died on the way. This is the thank you gift I have prepared for you. Please also Take it..."
Fox said as he respectfully handed a piece of crystal to Zhang Xiaoman.
This crystal is about the size of a baby's fist, has an irregular multi-ridged shape, and is light yellow in color. There seems to be a pure dark spiritual power flowing through it.
"Holy, holy magic crystal!?"
Not far away, Ifei, who had been paying attention to this place, suddenly couldn't help but let out a low cry.
"I have heard of this thing! It is said that it is the pinnacle product of ancient alchemy, and there are only the last three pieces left in the world! I didn't expect to see it here!"
The girl covered her mouth with a look of surprise and envy on her face.
Fox was not angry because of the other party's sudden voice. On the contrary, he nodded to the girl very kindly, as if he was pleased with her knowledge and assistance.
This scene made Dawn next to her touch her nose in embarrassment. As an eighth-level powerhouse, he was not as knowledgeable as a little girl. If others saw this, his face would be really bad. Can't hang on anymore.
But you can't blame him. After all, the holy magic crystal is a product of alchemy. It's normal for a warrior like him not to understand this.
However, when Zhang Xiaoman faced this seemingly precious treasure, he did not accept it immediately, and then waved his hand and stepped back.
"No merit, no reward. I saved them just to protect myself. There is no need for such a heavy courtesy. Mr. Fox should take it back."
Seeing his firmness, Fox hesitated for a moment, but unexpectedly did not take it back, but said:
"Your Majesty Ji Xing doesn't know something. Although this holy magic crystal has a great name, we don't know its purpose. We only know that it has something to do with alchemy..."
"I see that Your Excellency likes to delve into alchemy, so I don't want the pearl to be covered in dust, so I brought it here..."
"Besides, I come here this time with the sincerity of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce. Not only to thank you for your last action on Feng Peng, but also to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you in the new alchemical potion. , this piece of holy magic crystal can be regarded as my deposit for you."
What he said was well-founded, and it sounded so reasonable that no one could find any reason to refute it.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him deeply, then suddenly smiled, raised his hand and took the crystal in his hand.
"Since that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful. However, I never like to owe others favors. Here is a copy of the essence of the moon spirit liquid. It can be regarded as a return gift from me. Please accept it."
He said and took out a delicate small bottle from the storage ring, which contained some pink liquid.
"This is……"
Although Fox wanted to refuse, he felt the determination conveyed by the other party and had no choice but to accept it.
"This thing is called Moon Spirit Liquid Essence. It is taken from the sap of the Moon Spirit Tree above the moon. It is refined using the quenching method for seventy-seven forty-nine days. Just now, a small bottle is created. After taking it, it can affect the spiritual power of the drinker. It has a substantial boosting effect and is mild enough that even ordinary people can use it.”
Zhang Xiaoman explained the function of this bottle of potion in one breath.
He was not bragging. The production process of this thing was indeed complicated. It was extracted from the moon trees of the Covenant's lunar base. It could greatly increase mental power. Even among the Covenant, few people could afford it.
"Increase mental power...? This, this... Lord Jixing, I would like to ask, can this potion permanently enhance our mental power...?"
After hearing what Zhang Xiaoman said, Fox's old face was suddenly filled with shock.
Yifei and Dawn on the side were also similar, especially the little girl Yifei, who was much more shocked than the others here.
"How could a potion that can permanently increase mental power...how could there really be such a thing...?"
The girl murmured something, her face showing surprise and confusion.
You must know that among all the alchemical potions at this stage, although there are many potions that can improve human body quality, they are all temporary. I have never heard of any that can permanently improve the body's quality.
If it were someone else who came, Yifei would definitely think that person was making up a fantasy.
But the person in front of him was different. He was a person who could be treated respectfully by the president of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce and Dao En, one of the seven guardians of the mercenary union.
Even if someone told her that Lord Ji Xing, who she had been with for half a month, was a strong man of the holy level, she would probably believe it without hesitation.
Now, this saint-level strongman took out a bottle of potion that can permanently improve attributes. Even if he couldn't believe it, his reason told Yifei that this must be true.
"Perhaps, it is the product of some ancient alchemy technology... After all, we have lost a lot of alchemy information now. Maybe we really had these things before..."
She comforted herself in her heart, and finally found a suitable reason for herself.
Compared to Yifei, who was in a complicated mood, Fox and Dawn didn't have so many thoughts. They were just simply surprised.
After living for so long, this is the first time they have heard that there are potions in the world that can permanently increase attributes.
Fox felt the pure power coming from the bottle of pink potion in his hand, and his heart throbbed for no reason, and he felt like he was about to break through.
As soon as such a thought appeared, he was immediately shocked and looked at the potion in his hand in disbelief.
"It's true, it's true...it can really improve my mental strength..."
At Fox's level, it is definitely extremely difficult to go further. Otherwise, this step to the ninth level would not be able to trap so many people.
Now, the hope of this step suddenly appeared on the small bottle of potion in front of him, which made him feel a bit absurd and gave him the illusion that he was dreaming.
However, this absurd illusion was quickly forgotten by him. It was a potion given by a saint-level powerhouse, and there was absolutely no way it was fake!
Presumably, this thing should really help me break through to the ninth level!
And based on his previous analysis, this existence seems to be very proficient in alchemy.
Although I don’t know why the other party issued a reward in the form of finding an alchemist to teach alchemy, at least based on what I have seen and heard so far, I am afraid that this being is really a master with extraordinary achievements in alchemy.
Or, behind him, there should be a corresponding alchemy master as support.
Thinking of this, Fox's heart became even hotter.
It seems that I have found a treasure this time. Not only did I find a holy mage, I am also expected to be able to break through to this realm.
It was even said that that being seemed to be a respectable alchemy master.
If you can draw the opponent into your own camp, then in the next plan, your own winning rate can definitely be greatly improved.
He secretly made up his mind that this time, no matter what the price, he must win over this Excellency.
Dao En on the side also swallowed his saliva with envy after seeing this, and began to calculate in his mind whether he had any treasures that he could get his hands on.
During the meeting, the exchange of gifts between the two was completed.
Zhang Xiaoman was also very satisfied with this exchange. Although the bottle of potion was precious to him, it was not a non-renewable resource.
And the reason why he temporarily changed his mind and accepted the crystal was not because of Fox's few words.
Because under his close perception, he suddenly felt a familiar breath from the crystal.
This aura was surprisingly related to the two rings in his hand, which forced him to make a connection between the two.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't know whether his guess was accurate, but there was nothing wrong with spending a piece of Moon Spirit Tree essence to give it a try.
Zhang Xiaoman put the things back into the storage ring for the time being, and planned to find another opportunity to study them later.
"Thank you for your gift, Lord Ji Xing, the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce will be your forever friend!"
Fox bowed and saluted.
For a person like him, he would almost never do such a thing. He would only do this when he sees a truly strong person, or when he is sincerely grateful.
In the following time, the two discussed the cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and Alchemy Potions. Fox did not avoid Dawn during this process. In his opinion, these were just ways for him to get close to Lord Jiexing. Just an excuse.
However, excuses are excuses. Now that you are here, you need to do everything completely, otherwise you will really be unhappy.
Therefore, the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce quickly reached a cooperation agreement with Kablan Alchemy Workshop, almost helping the other party to promote it in a way of losing money. During the entire cooperation process, the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce basically did not get any benefits.
Zhang Xiaoman could naturally see the other party's intention, but he didn't point it out because he could also see that the president of the Chamber of Commerce seemed to have other intentions.
Sure enough, when the conversation came to an end, Fox suddenly changed his previous attitude of being unprepared towards Dawn and cautiously asked Zhang Xiaoman:
"Your Excellency Jixing, I have another request. I hope to talk to you alone..."
He said, looking warily at Dawn aside, his face full of defensiveness.
Dao En couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment when he saw it. He thought to himself that he ran over and accidentally discovered the identity of Lord Ji Xing. Before he could get close to him, he would be kicked out first.
However, he was depressed because he couldn't force himself to stay here and listen to what the other party said. He could only leave first and use this time to figure out what he could do.
"Your Excellency Ji Xing..."
After Dawn went out, Fox looked at Yifei beside him with a slight hesitation, and the meaning was obvious.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Xiaoman did not embarrass him, but nodded to the girl and signaled her to leave first.
Yifei didn't complain at all about this. In fact, she had wanted to leave for a long time, but she had no choice. Among such a group of big bosses, she was under too much pressure.
After the girl left with relief, only Zhang Xiaoman and Fox were left in the room.
After waving his hand and setting up a soundproof barrier, Zhang Xiaoman looked at the old man in front of him and said:
"Okay, I've isolated the sound from here and outside. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Fox looked at the magic field surrounding the room with some surprise, and secretly thought in his heart that this magic could still be used in this way.
He immediately stopped procrastinating and began to explain his other purpose this time.
"Your Excellency Jixing, please forgive me for being presumptuous. There are very few saint-level warriors on this continent. I haven't heard anything about you before... Are you from here...?"
Zhang Xiaoman didn't expect that the old man would suddenly say such a sentence, and he was suddenly surprised.
Subconsciously, he thought that the other party seemed to have guessed his identity from the other side of the dimensional rift.
Thinking about it, if it is true that what this guy said is that there are so few holy masters on the mainland, then if a being like himself suddenly appears and issues a mission to find dimensional cracks, it will inevitably make people I guessed where to go.
However, before he could answer, he heard Fox say:
"Your Excellency Jixing, please don't misunderstand me. I have no ill intentions. The reason why I ask this question is just to confirm whether you know anything about places other than Erin. If you are not comfortable answering, then please As if I hadn’t asked…”
