Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 290 Alchemist

Jiang Cheng entered the outer city area under the cover of night, but did not return home immediately.

Instead, he drove towards the direction of the black market.

The last time he heard the other party say thirty years, he began to have the idea of ​​backing out, and then what others said later made him waver.

But the situation is different now, and the situation is becoming more urgent.

The failure of that mission had already made Bingli suspicious of him. The reason he did not take any action was simply because the other party was arrogant and thought that he was just a second-level Force warrior and could not make any waves.

The next mission will be harder to deal with.

In addition, he wiped out the entire Iron Fist Gang during the day, so even if there were still some that slipped through the net, they would no longer be a force to be reckoned with.

Logically speaking, a normal person would not think that this matter had anything to do with him. After all, he killed the owner of the Flying Eagle Boxing Gym with a knife under the eyes of many people.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.

It is better to find a way out as soon as possible and exit Dawn Society.

The current black market is one of the ways out.

The other is the rebels.

He plans to learn about both sides in detail before making a decision.

The car stopped not far from the black market. Jiang Cheng got out and walked towards the destination.

The area was unusually quiet, not even a single human figure or ghost was seen.

Outside the black market yard, two lanterns emitted a red light, which made people feel creepy in the middle of the night.

Jiang Cheng did not hide his footsteps, he walked to the door and knocked.

After knocking several times, a man's voice was heard from inside the house.

"This place is not open to the public normally. Come back on the first day of next month."

"I heard that you are recruiting psychics, and I want to inquire about the situation." Jiang Cheng said.

The sound in the house stopped.

Then, a sound of footsteps came from far away.

Then, the door opened and a middle-aged man in a robe appeared.

"Are you a spiritualist?"

The other party showed suspicion.

"First-level spiritualist."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Okay, come in first."

The man stepped aside and waited for Jiang Cheng to come in, then closed the door.

Compared to the last time I came here, it is much quieter here, even the fountain in the yard has stopped moving.

Of course, the spiritual master was not there either, because he didn't feel like he was being watched.

"Show it first."

The man pointed to the pen on the table.

"it is good."

Jiang Cheng thought about it and made the pen on the table float up, then it accelerated suddenly, and with a puff, it was nailed into the branches outside. The man in the robe looked surprised.

His attitude immediately became much friendlier.

"Please wait for a moment, my friend. I will go and inform Manager Li."

Jiang Cheng nodded and waited quietly.

About two minutes later, a man in a blue robe walked out of the house with a smile on his face. "My friend, I heard that you want to join our black market?"

"I do have this idea, but I need to know more details. For example, after joining you, what can I get and what can I do?" Jiang Cheng said straight to the point.

The human skin mask he wore this time was different from the last time, so as long as he didn't take out the token, the other party would not know his true identity.

"Okay, please come with me."

The two of them came to the private room they were in last time. Just like before, Manager Li poured them a cup of tea. The first part of the conversation was almost the same as last time, but there was a lot more content in the latter part.

"My friend, after you join us, we will first provide an alchemy room, including alchemy recipes and various medicinal materials, and try to train you to be an alchemist, just like a spiritual force warrior, we will first train him to be a talisman maker."

“Is it because it’s more profitable this way?”

Jiang Cheng smiled.

Manager Li was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Jiang Chen to say it so bluntly, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"That's not entirely true. The main thing is that this kind of thing is beneficial to both of us. There are too few psychics and spiritual force warriors. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are one in ten thousand. It would be a pity if they were lost in the battle.

It's like a Force warrior who takes the energy route. He only needs to use the Force in his body to make some simple talismans to make a lot of money. Why bother risking human life? The same is true for spiritualists."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

He had long been wondering why he had not encountered a Force warrior who took the energy route for so long.

Even in the Dawn Meeting.

It turns out that they are all making money by refining talismans in the back.

Manager Li took the opportunity to take a sip of tea and continued, "Nowadays, technology is advanced and there is no need to use traditional methods to make pills. There are special equipment for making pills. You only need to press a button to prepare the medicinal materials, or add medicinal materials and control the temperature during the refining process.
At first glance, it sounds a lot simpler, but the alchemy furnace changes rapidly, and a slight difference in the temperature can make the quality of the refined pills completely different. Therefore, for the alchemist, during the refining process, he must always maintain a high level of mental concentration.
The most important thing is to be able to see the situation inside the furnace through mental power. Only mentalists can do this. This is why only mentalists can make pills. "

"I see."

Jiang Cheng asked again:
"But not all spiritualists can become alchemists, right?"

"This is natural."

Manager Li smiled.

"Everyone has different talents. Only a few spiritualists are gifted in alchemy and make rapid progress. They can make high-quality and better-quality pills.
Most spiritualists can only refine first-grade pills, and the quality is not very high, but they can still make some profits. Some others know nothing about it, and no matter how many medicinal materials they use, it will be wasted.

But this doesn't matter much. We recruit spiritualists. If they can be trained to be alchemists, that's even better. If not, we can also train them to fight, such as using telekinetic weapons to fight, or simply controlling mechas and using laser cannons to fight.

The speed of the laser cannon is close to the speed of light. As long as it can lock onto the enemy's position, it is almost certain to hit the target. This requires a very high level of mental strength from the operator. The mecha operated by the mentalist can easily lock onto the enemy's position, and its performance on the battlefield will be much stronger than that of the Force Warrior, of course."

Manager Li smiled awkwardly.

"We don't have many opportunities to use mechas here. We can use telekinetic weapons to fight. When we are performing normal tasks, there will be Force warriors protecting us. You can rest assured about our safety."

"What if a certain spiritualist has no talent in alchemy or combat?"

"This one……"

Steward Li shrugged.

"Then you can only do some relatively simple tasks. But after all, you are still a spiritualist, and we will not treat you unfairly."
