Chapter 61 The Icy Spirit Spring is in hand.

With a wave of his arm, Xiao Yan conjured three small iron puppets on the ground.

The three little iron figures, like birds released from their cages, began to move their bodies.

That's it? Otto's eyes widened slightly. He had thought Xiao Yan's arrogant tone meant he had obtained some incredible treasure from his teacher.

What are three lumps of iron?

Guter exclaimed in surprise, "What an exquisite puppet! It's just a little too small. If it were a bit bigger..."

Seeing Gu Te's excited expression, Xiao Yan said, "If we have enough materials, it would be very possible to create a puppet that is comparable to a Dou Ling expert. This is much better than those third-rate mechanisms."

"You have the method to create puppets?" Gutt licked his lips as his cloudy old eyes were fixed on the three puppet figures on the ground.

Xiao Yan said calmly, "That depends on whether they have the Ice Spirit Cold Spring that I need."

"Kid, don't even think about it. I'm not going to give you the Ice Spirit Cold Spring that I just got my hands on." Gu Te glanced at Xiao Yan across from him and snorted.

"That's true. With a younger brother like Dan Wang Guhe, even without those traps, who would dare to mess with this place? Master Otto, let's go."

Putting away his puppet, Xiao Yan turned around and walked towards the stairwell.

Otto was startled. Mentioning the name "Furukawa" in front of Gutt was a major taboo, and it seemed that the deal was off.

Gu Te stared at Xiao Yan's retreating figure, his aged voice booming like thunder: "Stop right there! Even without Gu He, I can still protect my treasure!"

Xiao Yan slowly turned around, and at this moment, Gu Te had a jade bottle in his hand.

A chilling aura swirled around the jade bottle, its coldness almost unsettling. Instantly, the temperature inside the room plummeted.

"Take it, this is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring you wanted." Gu Te tossed the jade bottle to Xiao Yan without the slightest hesitation.

A layer of Xuanhuang Flame enveloped his palm as Xiao Yan reached out and caught the exquisite jade bottle. The terrifying chill, under the power of the strange fire, was firmly contained within the jade bottle.

"Things," Guter said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yan twirled his fingers in his storage ring and took out an ancient-looking scroll.

This scroll contains some information about the intermediate puppet-making method, which can only be used in combat and is very different from the all-around intermediate puppet-making method.

After unrolling the scroll and inspecting it, Gutt was completely absorbed in it.

After a long while, Gutt put the scroll into his storage ring and waved for people to leave: "You've got the stuff, so hurry up and leave..."

"Hehe, with such a rich collection, how could Master Gutt just leave like this?" Xiao Yan chuckled, rubbing his hands together. "This Fire Heart Seven-Leaf Flower looks quite impressive too."

Seeing Xiao Yan's temper change faster than flipping through a book, Gu Te thought to himself that he was already shameless enough, but he never expected that someone would be even more shameless than him.

With a sneer, Gutt said bluntly, "If you can't produce anything substantial, don't even think about taking my treasure."

With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Yan produced something he had prepared beforehand.

"Once activated, the magic crystal bullets can injure even a Great Battle Master in a surprise attack. If all three are fired at once, even a Battle Spirit expert will suffer considerable pain."

Looking at the crystal-clear, round sphere in Xiao Yan's palm, Gu Te's eyes narrowed slightly, as if it were the result of a demon core undergoing special tempering.

If the violent energy contained within the demon core is used properly, it is indeed extraordinary.

"You've got quite a few treasures on you, kid. I also have rare medicinal herbs like Blood Crystal Grass. Want to consider them too?" Gu Te's smiling face resembled that of a cunning old fox.

Xiao Yanqian smiled and shook his head: "Master Gutt is really joking. He even took out the magic crystal bullets that were originally meant to save his life. What other treasures would he have?"

Of all the things Gu Te has collected, he has only taken a fancy to one fire-attribute medicinal herb.

"You little brat, I don't believe you..." Gutt grabbed the three magic crystal pills and then held them in his hands with a look of infatuation.

Xiao Yan felt a slight chill as he put the medicinal herbs into his storage ring, then turned and left Gutt's residence with Otto.

Otto breathed a sigh of relief: "That really startled me. You actually managed to get the item after mentioning the Ancient River in front of Gutt."

"I have to thank Master Otto for introducing me to Gutt's preferences," Xiao Yan said, bowing with his hands clasped in gratitude.

Otto smiled and shook his head: "It was nothing."

"This seems to be a good thing for Gutt as well. Those treasures are just decorations in that old guy's hands. That guy has good talent, but he's obsessed with all kinds of rare and precious materials, which is why he's been stuck at the third grade stage. Now that he's fully committed to making puppets, he might be able to find a new path."

Xiao Yan didn't think much about Gu Te's future.

Some people need tangible gains, while others enjoy the psychological satisfaction more; Guter belongs to the latter.

Most people only know that Guter liked to collect rare and precious materials, but they overlook the strange mechanisms he devised.

Xiao Yan had discovered the blind spot early on, and he also knew that Gu Te was enjoying the benefits of being the younger brother of Dan Wang Gu He, but he was still resentful. He was confident that he could exchange it for what he needed.

As they gradually returned to the Alchemist Guild, Otto took out two brocade boxes from his storage ring: "These are the third-tier magic cores and Blood Lotus Essence you need."

Blackrock City truly lived up to its reputation as a city with an alchemist guild. Xiao Yan happily accepted the two items.

A third-tier magic core plus a Blood Lotus Essence, including its value, would be worth no less than 200,000 gold coins. However, Otto smiled and shook his head, refusing to accept the money.

With the Alchemist Guild's financial resources, paying this amount is just a drop in the ocean.

"Since you're registered with our Blackrock City Alchemist Guild, you're basically one of us. This little favor is nothing," Otto said with a casual smile, waving his hand. "In a few years, the Alchemist Conference, held every eight years, will be in the capital. If you have the time then, you could participate; it would be very beneficial for you."

"I will definitely go and take a look." Xiao Yan nodded. The reward for this year's Alchemist Conference is the recipe for a sixth-grade elixir, the Spirit Fusion Pill, which is an extremely rare elixir related to the soul, and he naturally wouldn't let it pass him by.

Strong comprehension can accelerate the speed of deduction, and if one stands on the shoulders of giants, this speed will be further accelerated.

The greatest value of the sixth-grade elixir, the Spirit Fusion Elixir, to him lay in its deduction.

The Alchemist Guild building gradually came into clear view before the two of them, and Xiao Yan smiled as he bid them farewell.

Watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, Otto smiled and whispered, "Xiao Yan, I'll be waiting for you at the Alchemist Conference. I hope you can shine brightly once again on that occasion..."
