Chapter 122 - Listen to Uncle's Advice. Potions Are Complicated. You Won't Be Able To Grasp It!

In another underground cave, more than 700 meters deep.

There were more than 40 Indian martial artists here. The leader was a level nine Eighth Realm Indian martial artist with the code name Garuda.

The spy found him in a panic and told him everything he had seen.

Garuda understood the seriousness of this matter and immediately headed to the scene of the incident with the spy.

Seeing the dried corpses everywhere, the leader frowned deeply.

He instinctively felt that this matter would not be that simple.

Why would the ghosts suddenly attack the hiding place of the Indian martial artists?

His first reaction was that there must be someone behind this matter!

However, after careful investigation, he discovered that the deceased’s items did not show any signs of being touched. Most importantly, the crystal skull was also left safely in place.

If a martial artist had used some method to lure the ghosts to attack the Indian martial artist’s hiding place, then this person would definitely not ignore the peerless golden items on the ground!

.

Peerless golden skill books, equipment, and runes were all treasures to anyone.

Some weak people might only have one peerless golden skill and one peerless golden equipment on them.

In fact, some had it even worse and didn’t even have a single one.

However, now, there were as many as 30 golden skill books and equipment on the ground!

In addition, there were more than 60 precious purple items.

Who would not be tempted?

Who would not want to take it away after seeing it?

The spies beside Garuda could not help but gulp at this moment. They pretended to squat down and tie their shoelaces, but in fact, they hurriedly took a few golden equipment and stuffed them into the storage compartment.

Garuda saw everything, but he did not expose them.

Greedy people were even more useful.

If a person did not like power, money, and women, in his opinion, that was a truly terrifying person.

Garuda exclaimed, “There are a total of 28 people in this hiding place, but there are only 26 corpses. What about the other two?”

If a ghost killed someone, they would not destroy the corpse. They would leave after eating the life force in the martial artist’s body.

The spy hurriedly said, “Perhaps they escaped? They could have died halfway.”

Garuda immediately used “Examine”. This was a supplementary skill dropped from a Sixth Realm mystic realm in India. It was similar to “Perception”, but it was an active skill with a larger detection range.

After carefully investigating three times, Garuda suddenly discovered a deep pit around him. In the deep pit was a group of Seventh Realm demon beasts.

He took out his flashlight and shone it in, only to discover many terrifying mouths.

The spy walked over. “Lord Garuda, these are carnivorous insects. They’re native to the Little Spirit Mountain and would eat anything.”

“The Indian martial artists in this hiding place use it as a trash can and throw in all kinds of trash.”

“Although they look ferocious, they’re actually very safe when kept this way. As long as we don’t enter, they won’t take the initiative to attack.”

Garuda suddenly pointed at the clothes beside a carnivorous insect.

“There’s a piece of clothing there. Can you guess who it belongs to?”

This spy would deliver food to the Indian martial artists in this hiding place every few days. His familiarity with these Indian martial artists was even higher than Garuda’s.

The spy looked around and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. “I remember now. It’s him. He even specially instructed me to bring more curry over.”

Garuda said, “If the hiding place was attacked by a ghost, then why did a piece of clothing appear beside the mouth of the carnivorous insect? There’s something suspicious about this matter. I still suspect that this incident was caused by a human.”

The spy scratched his head. “Then what do you think we should do?”

Garuda stood up straight and said indifferently, “Wait.”

The spy was puzzled. “Wait?”

Garuda said, “If it’s caused by a human, the other party might still attack again. I’ll get the martial artists in the other hiding places to be prepared. We want to… catch him in action!”

The spy nodded obsequiously. “Sir, you’re indeed smart!”

The spy suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, “By the way, Sir, an Eighth Realm martial artist has arrived in Colony Three recently. You should know him too. It’s that stubborn old man.”

Garuda revealed a trace of disdain. “Li Weiguo? I knew about this before I came. He lost a leg in the Drowning City because of the High Heaven Plains. He came here to recuperate and guard Colony Three. Don’t worry about him. An Eighth Realm martial artist without a leg will definitely die in three moves at most.”

The spy nodded and bowed. “Our Indian intelligence network is indeed powerful!”

Garuda looked at him strangely. “The Construction Division did not hide this matter at all. If we don’t even know about this, how can we call ourselves a large organization?”

The spy :”…”

He had failed to bootlick this time.

“There’s another thing. Something strange has been going on in the Little Spirit Mountain recently. The people in charge of the three colonies will definitely buy a batch of potions. I plan to rope in more potion makers and continue to increase the price of the potions! In this way, we can cheat the Construction Division of a large sum of essence! This will help our India gain an advantage!”

“It’s just that…” The spy smiled awkwardly.” The essence I have on me is not enough for me to rope in those potion makers. ”

Garuda nodded slightly and casually exchanged 500,000 essence. “This idea of yours is not bad. I’ll provide you with the essence. Go ahead and do it.”

The spy nodded repeatedly.

…

Colony Three, market area.

The market area was filled with small stalls set up by martial artists.

Some people sold their own equipment, some traded ores, some sold potions, and some discussed the transaction of essence and experience points.

There were shouts and noises everywhere.

Every time he came here, Lin Xuan felt as if he had arrived at a market. He could hear a large group of old men and women bargaining.

He quickly arrived at a place that specialized in selling potions.

The places where potions and equipment were sold were relatively similar.

There was usually a stall in front, and behind the stall was a place for making potions and forging.

Usually, the stall owners would only come out after someone shouted.

Lin Xuan walked around and discovered that there were not many stall owners selling potions. There were only twenty or so.

The potions sold by these twenty or so potion makers were also rarely repeated. Everyone seemed to be selling different potions.

Among these shops, only one shop sold the Life Potion. The other potion makers did not make the Life Potion.

Lin Xuan asked them why they didn’t make the Life Potion and these potion makers only shook their heads in response. “The grade of the Life Potion made by Mu Yang is better, and the effect is also better. We can’t compete with him, so we might as well not sell them.”

Everyone had the same answer.

Lin Xuan could not help but be somewhat surprised.

Who was this Mu Yang? He could actually make all the potion makers shake their heads and directly give up?

Could it be that he had obtained the Great Potion Master scroll?

Potion maker was a rare blue profession scroll.

The Great Potion Master profession scroll, on the other hand, was a precious purple profession scroll!

The profession skill of the Great Potion Master was: There is a 25% chance for the grade of every potion made to increase by one level.

In other words, if ordinary white grade materials were used to make potions, the potion maker could at most make ordinary white grade potions.

However, the Great Potion Master had a 25% chance of directly making uncommon green potions.

This was very impressive.

After all, the other party would be using ordinary white materials to make an uncommon green potion.

Moreover, this skill effect was also effective on higher grade materials.

In other words, there was a 25% chance of making a golden potion with purple materials!

At this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly saw a wretched-looking middle-aged man beside the stall. The other party was also choosing potions.

However, he only asked about the potions and did not buy them.

The potion maker was furious and almost chased him away.

This person was Silver Fox.

“What are you doing?” He walked over and smiled.

Silver Fox was also stunned for a moment and laughed. “You’re here too? Are you here to buy potions? You don’t seem to be short of potions.”

Lin Xuan said, “No, I’m here to do market research.”

Silver Fox scratched his head. “Are you planning to get a piece of the pie?”

“We have a good relationship. I’ll tell you the truth. Yesterday, I discovered that the Life Potion is indeed very profitable, but today, I realized that although the price of the Life Potion here is high, it… has already been monopolized by a single person.”

Lin Xuan casually said, “Mu Yang?”

Silver Fox nodded helplessly. “That’s right. I heard that that guy is a Great Potion Master! He’s best at making Life Potions and Big Life Potions. Therefore, all the potion makers in Colony Three simply gave up on making this potion and stopped competing with Mu Yang.”

“In addition, many potion makers seem to have a good relationship with Mu Yang. They joined forces to increase the price of other potions! They even ostracized those potion makers who did not join them.”

Lin Xuan smiled and said, “You don’t want to compete either?”

Silver Fox scratched his head. “Let alone competing with Mu Yang, I can’t even compete with these ordinary potion makers.”

He had a very vexed expression. “These people have officially changed their professions to the potion maker profession and aren’t interested in upgrading their combat skills at all. I, on the other hand, have the elemental mage profession and only have a basic medicinal skill. How can I compare to them?”

Lin Xuan chuckled and said, “I want to compete with them.”

Silver Fox did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I admit that you’re good at making Fire Wound Potion and Ice Resistance Potion, but there aren’t any materials in the Little Spirit Mountain for you to make Fire Wound Potions and Ice Resistance Potions. Moreover, you should have also discovered that the demon beasts here are least resistant to lightning damage. Moreover, they rarely use frost magic.”

“Fire Wound Potion and Ice Resistance Potion are useless on the Little Spirit Mountain. The best sales are actually Thunder Wound Potion and Magic Resistance Potion.”

Silver Fox directly analyzed the situation for Lin Xuan. With that said, he said earnestly, “Shield, listen to Uncle’s advice. Potions are complicated. You won’t be able to grasp it!”

Lin Xuan’s expression did not change at all.

Silver Fox was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Seeing Shield Ghost’s expression, he knew that he had wasted his breath just now.

Silver Fox’s face was filled with helplessness. “Young people nowadays are really stubborn. I want to see how an amateur like you can compete with a professional.”

Lin Xuan smiled mysteriously. “Just you wait.”

After bidding farewell to Silver Fox, he returned to his residence. He entered his consciousness space and arrived in front of the three medicinal tables.

All the workstations in his consciousness space had already been upgraded to level 4 by him.

After upgrading to a level 4 workstation, their work efficiency would increase by an additional 100%. In addition, there was a 10% chance of producing high grade items.

This high grade referred to blue grade and above.

Now, Lin Xuan needed to increase this 10% chance to a higher level.

“Upgrading a Level 4 workbench to level 5 requires 10,000 essence.”

“Level 5 to level 6 requires 100,000 essence.”

“Level 6 to level 7 requires 1,000,000 essence.”

Lin Xuan looked at the requirements and immediately clicked his tongue.

He had not saved much essence now. He did not expect these workstations to consume so much of his essence.

However, when he saw the effect of the level 5 medicinal table, he immediately revealed a satisfied expression.

Level 5 Workstation: The probability of producing high grade items increases to 20%, and the number of materials consumed decreases by 20%.

“Then let’s upgrade the three medicinal tables to level 5 first. I’ll worry about the forging tables later.”

Lin Xuan invested 30,000 essence into it. The three medicinal tables in his consciousness space immediately became brand new, becoming even more green. There was even a faint fragrance of vegetation floating out.
