The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 92 Huge Assets
He returned to his own courtyard and took out the alchemist's robe and badge from the ring, which were of the second grade.

What happened next was that Xiao Jun took out an ancient book, which was as thick as a palm and as long as an adult's arm. The book was wrapped in thick monster skin. When he opened the book, there were blocks of very detailed text inside.

"This...reward is really good!" Xiao Jun frosted the book in his hand. He loved reading, especially precious books.

This book was the reward Frank gave to Xiao Jun. It was said to contain the handwritten notes of a sixth-grade alchemist from the past in the Jiama Empire! It contained a large amount of insights about sixth-grade alchemists.

Xiao Jun began to study this thick book, trying to get a glimpse into the higher level of knowledge of alchemy. It described the principles and some phenomena of medicine and the changes in fire temperature in the preparation of medicinal materials.

"This book... is actually quite old. The art of alchemy is constantly evolving. Of course... the wisdom contained in this book is also a great source of enlightenment and nourishment for me."

In fact, the Douqi Continent has always been developing slowly. It was invaded by the Soul-Devouring Clan in ancient times, which interrupted its development. Countless precious fighting skills and even techniques were lost. However, it is obvious that the alchemist who wrote down his own insights on alchemy was not an ancient person.

However, this person's achievement of the sixth rank was already considered to be talented, and he thought about pharmacology from a different perspective from Xiao Jun.

What Xiao Jun had in his hand was naturally a replica, but Frank also said that there was no change in the collection in his hand and the replica in Xiao Jun's hand. Xiao Jun didn't care. After taking a look at it, he realized that the value of it was not small at all.

Thoughts raced through his mind, as the Netherworld Soul Seal and the Heavenly Demon Seal flashed rapidly through his consciousness, carrying countless sparks of wisdom.

"To become a sixth-grade alchemist... the experience of predecessors is no longer enough. To become an alchemist of a higher level, in addition to continuous training, learning, and mastering soul power, you also need to rely on your own understanding! Find your own method, your own way of refining medicine."

Xiao Jun read the book and read this sentence. He nodded secretly and suddenly thought of Gu He. This person was called the Pill King. As a sixth-grade alchemist, he could even refine seventh-grade pills. If it weren't for his lack of luck, his future achievements would be unlimited. This person might have found his own path in alchemy.

This is the normal path of an alchemist, but unfortunately Xiao Jun first realized the way of refining medicine, and thus directly stepped into the industry of alchemist.

His own path in alchemy is to continuously perfect his "True Medicine Form Interpretation Theory", explaining the world with the true medicine, evolving the universe with the elixir, and deducing the truth. He seeks the way of external alchemy and Qi training, but Xiao Jun lacks knowledge and cannot easily achieve his goal.

Therefore, this sentence is not very suitable for Xiao Jun. However, once Xiao Jun accepts the vast knowledge and some experience books, and initially improves the "True Medicine Form Interpretation Theory", he will be able to rely on the truth to deduce the pill formula himself and manifest his own path.

However, when Xiao Jun saw this, he realized that the people of this world had actually been making progress, but they had not yet returned to the heights they had before the invasion of the Soul Devouring Tribe. In fact, many Dou Shengs, except for those who relied on their old skills, had developed their own heavenly fighting skills.

For example, Xiao Jun's "Earth Yuan Treasure Technique". As Xiao Jun's understanding deepens and he continues to absorb a large amount of knowledge to improve it, it may become a true heavenly-level technique in the future.

He quickly scanned the book into his mind. Such a thick book contained a lot of knowledge. If Xiao Jun wanted to understand it thoroughly, he would have to spend a lot of time.

Xiao Jun quickly retrieved the task list from the Alchemist Guild. Currently, the contributions for second-grade elixirs were quite high. A single second-grade elixir often commanded over 70 or 80 contributions, which could be exchanged for third-, fourth-, or even fifth-grade elixir recipes as his own resources.

It can also be exchanged for some resources.

……

It was quite noisy in an auction house.

"Level 4 Magic Core! Starting price 100,000, each bid cannot be less than 10,000."

"Five hundred thousand!" A middle-aged man shouted out this huge price, which immediately shocked many people.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand." Someone else started raising the price.

"Seven hundred thousand!" the middle-aged man added more.

Few people can afford this expensive price.

A group of people were whispering.

"Who is this? How come he's so wealthy? Could he be an alchemist?"

"Fourth-level magic cores are already rare enough, yet someone actually put them up for auction. Shouldn't things of this level be bartered?"

"But seven hundred thousand is a huge sum of money. A fourth-level magic core at this price is not a loss at all."

"Yes, this is already considered a profit. Fourth-level magic cores can usually only be used by alchemists. Ordinary people can only use them to exchange for resources."

"..."

"Seven hundred thousand once, seven hundred thousand twice, seven hundred thousand..."

"800,000!" Another person raised a sign. Everyone looked over and saw it was an alchemist wearing a badge. "Looks like another alchemist has taken a fancy to it. This is going to be a good auction competition." Such a high price would be a heavy burden for the average person, but for the alchemists, this amount of money was still within their means.

"One million!" The man raised the price without hesitation.

"Hiss... one million? This is usually the price of a fourth-level magic core from a special magical beast! This fourth-level magic core is a wood-type magic core. Although it is useful for alchemists, it is not worth this price!"

The alchemist's face darkened, but when he saw the man with a calm expression, he stopped bidding. Although the fourth-level magic core was rare, there were still many things that needed to be bought.

"Okay... one million once... one million twice... one million three times!"

"Bang..." The wooden hammer struck.

"make a deal!"

The next auction started, and quite a few items were auctioned off.

That person was only auctioning some specific things. Everyone understood that he must have been instructed to auction. But would it really make people feel at ease if a huge sum of money was put into the hands of someone else?
"Thousand-year-old poisonous demon vine! Extremely poisonous. Starting bid: 80,000, each increment must not be less than 5,000."

There are quite a few auctions here. Some fighters, masters, or even great masters may smear venom on their weapons, which is very effective whether in fighting or hunting monsters.

A pharmacist could also correct the toxicity of such a poison and turn it into a precious pill. For a poison master, it was a rare treasure.

"Three hundred thousand!"

The middle-aged man with a huge sum of money immediately raised the price, which shocked everyone. They looked at the middle-aged man and immediately gave up the idea of raising the price because they knew that the middle-aged man was very wealthy.

It wasn't that no one would raise the price, but the middle-aged man suddenly called out a price that would not be raised. This left him with a huge auction price, which made people a little unsure.

Some people wanted to bid, but suddenly they were unsure of the middle-aged man's price expectations. They were worried that an auction item far exceeding its value would be smashed in their hands.

Soon, no one started bidding, and the thousand-year-old poisonous vine was auctioned off simply.

Some of the items that were not auctioned afterwards included a fourth-level elixir, but the middle-aged man did not bid for it at all. Everyone understood that there was most likely an alchemist behind him.

The middle-aged man directly took out a crystal card, transferred over five million gold coins, and then put these things into the ring and began to return. Some secret people were ready to kill this middle-aged man, but they were disappointed. After this middle-aged man left the auction house, he was protected by many high-level fighters.

Even if a fighting master were to attack, these people would be able to resist easily! After a delay, they might face an attack from the City Lord's Mansion or even the Alchemist Guild. These people were unwilling to give up and wanted to see who was behind them.

Soon, the fighters were seen arriving in front of a courtyard. After a little exploration, they realized it was an alchemist's room. When they explored deeper, no one was willing to talk about it.

Because those willing to track this group of people are often a bunch of people with evil intentions, and those who track them are usually powerless, probably desperate criminals who want to make a quick buck and get away. Naturally, no one wants to have in-depth communication, for fear of getting into trouble.

The group of followers left the person being questioned somewhat helplessly, but when they turned around and left, the person being questioned had a cold glint in his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in contempt.

The next day, some corpses appeared in a small alley. The traces of fighting skills on these corpses were very special and came from the Hao family.

Soon, this information reached Xiao Jun's ears. After listening to it, Xiao Jun could only nod slightly.

Even though Xiao Jun didn't want to get into any trouble, trouble eventually came to him. These people solved some troubles for him. Although it was very insignificant to Xiao Jun, Xiao Jun still needed to repay them and owed them a favor.

This time it's just a small favor. Small favors will accumulate slowly and can be settled directly in the future.

"Wilson...you're doing a great job, and your subordinates are all doing a great job!" Xiao Jun said, "The remaining 200,000 gold coins in the crystal card I gave you, you and your brothers can just divide it up."

"Thank you, sir!"

Xiao Jun nodded and looked directly at the storage ring that Wilson had given him before. There were some important materials and a large amount of auxiliary medicinal materials in it. These would become his own nourishment.

Wilson was only a fighter, but Xiao Jun was confident in giving him such a huge sum of money. Besides the fact that they had the Alchemy Association behind them, there was another more important reason: these people were all invisible demons in their hearts! Xiao Jun was naturally very relieved!
