Chapter 409: Chapter 403: Limitless Dragon Scales
Translator: 549690339
When David Jones finished his Calm Mind cultivation and opened his eyes, his overwhelming aura made the onlookers dare not meet his gaze directly.
He really broke through!” An unbelieving skeptical voice came from the crowd.
In the eyes of some conspiracy theorists, David’s breakthrough after the battle was merely a show.
After all, most of the students at Rosewood College knew that David had previously undergone the Divine Wood Baptism at the opening ceremony, leading to his Arcane Star Breakthrough to Class IV, and it has only been a month since then.
Even if one were to take elixirs daily to speed up one’s cultivation, it took Fred Hoyle, the holder of the fastest record in Rosewood College, a full two months to break through from the initial stage of Class IV to the medium stage. David’s rapid progress was indeed somewhat outrageous.
“I’ve reached the later stage of Class IV!”
Feeling the gleaming Star Fire on the Arcane Star, a flash of joy appeared in David’s eyes, and he then thanked Mason Rodney.
“It was nothing.” Mason Rodney smiled slightly, withdrew the Landlock Armor from his Star Ring, and then turned and left.
Congratulations to Captain David Jones on his Arcane Star Breakthrough to the medium stage of Class IV,” said Yann York with a respectful expression. David glanced at Yann York without intending to correct him.
Although there was only a small difference between the medium stage and the later stage of Class IV Arcane Star, explaining this terrifying progress was still too troublesome.
“Class IV Arcane Star is nothing. Everyone below the King is insignificant. Only by advancing to the Sixth Order King Beastmaster can one be considered a Strong One.” David’s voice was filled with a hint of longing.
“A King?” Sylvia Creek’s eyes were filled with longing.
Even in the talent-filled Rosewood College, those who could ultimately successfully break through to the Sixth Order King Beastmaster were very few. “There are too many people here; let’s find another place to talk!” Looking at the crowd frantically approaching, David quickly suggested.
Late that night, after the club gathering, David, drunk, returned to the villa. “There are still half a year left for the club task; there’s no need to rush to complete it. In the meantime, I can spend some time researching on Goldy.” Looking at the “plop-plop” Goldy, who was crazily using Water Jump in the Dragon Blood Pool in front of him, David shook his head.
Rainbow’s Dragon Blood strengthening pace was still a bit slow; maybe he could try Lolo’s Dragon Blood tomorrow.
As David pondered, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Golden Elixir quotas, fast promotion to Epic?”
Seeing Audrey’s message, David’s pupils brightened slightly.
It was nice to have a good master. As long as he followed the teacher’s plan step by step, he was likely to become an Epic Strong One who would dominate an entire city in the future.
However, there are gains and losses. If he chose to accept the teacher’s Golden Elixir quota, he would need to take on a debt worth the value of two breakthrough Golden Elixirs, whether or not he successfully advanced to Epic in the future.
But David understood that cultivating disciples was not charity, and the teacher must have had to pay a lot of benefits and costs to set up a golden elixir quota for him.
“I need to set a small goal: to advance to the Sixth-Order Pinnacle within ten years; otherwise, I might miss the rare opportunity of a breakthrough Golden Elixir.”
With this in mind, David Jones slowly closed his eyes, planning to continue comprehending the Black Dragon Constellation Map.
“Buzz! Buzz!”
David raised his eyebrows, looking at the phone on the desk that was ringing again. The screen showed a group chat from the Flowery Kingdom Alchemist Guild.
[Vine: Recently, a batch of ancient mecha from the primordial times was unearthed in Summeruins City. Does anyone want them? I can sell them at a low price.]
[Mountain Elixir: Ancient mecha! Aren’t these outdated mechas already eliminated by history and can only be collected as antiques?] [Red Lotus: Well, it depends on what type of ancient mecha. For example, epigraph mechas with no armor on the surface, dead internal beast bodies, and fully exposed mechanical armor structures are worthless. However, the ancient mechas of the Guardian Beast series are exceptions. Vine, if you’re selling Guardian Beast mechas, I’ll take all of them.]
“Ancient mecha?”
Seeing the messages in the group, a flash of interest appeared in David’s eyes. It’s important to know that ancient mechas handed down from ancient times have their strengths and weaknesses. The strong can rival epics and legends while the weak may not even match extraordinary superiors. Many researchers like to excavate ancient mechas to study, hoping to find top-quality treasures.
Compared to ancient mecha, the modern mechas have extremely limited purchasing channels, mostly controlled by the military. Non-Beast Legion members cannot buy them.
This way, perhaps Gluttonous Beast’s self-transformation and infinite evolution skills can be used to devour ancient mechas for a try, and they might even obtain skills from ancient times.
After thinking about it, David decided to send a message to inquire even though he suspected the quality of the ancient mechas Vine was selling might be poor, he still decided to try and build a connection.
After all, Summeruins City was best known for ancient mechas.
[Pharmacy Apprentice: How are the ancient mechas sold? What series are there? How about the price?]
[Angelica: I worship the old man, ancient mecha is indeed an antique that only the rich and big guys can afford to play with, and the practical value is not high.]
At this moment, the girl wearing a red suspender dress looked at the group chat information on her phone and revealed a puzzled expression.
She still remembered the Pharmacy Apprentice ID; he seemed to be a weirdo obsessed with refining Starfall Elixirs.
[Vine: Three first-generation Guardian Dragon series mechas, one second- generation Guardian Dragon mecha, and thirty Epigraph Mechas, for sale as a single package, no separate purchases accepted-only two hundred million star coins. I can accept Level VI Pet Resources or elixirs instead of cash, and I can make up the price difference for the extra part.]
[Whitelock: This price is a bit high. The Mechanical Dragon King of the fifthgeneration Guardian Dragon series sells for only one billion star coins. The first-generation mechanical dragon has a small size and almost no combat power, so it’s only worth several million star coins and can only be used for research.
As for the second-generation Guardian Dragon mechas, their combat power varies due to their time of origin; their value depends on the skills built-in. Otherwise, the price would fluctuate too much.]
[Whitelock: Can you tell us about the skills?]
[Vine: The core skill engraved on the second-generation mechanical dragon is the Limitless Dragon Scales of the Class VI Dragon. So, the selling price of two hundred million star coins is reasonable.]
Seeing the Limitless Dragon Scales skill, David was instantly tempted.
As one of the most famous skills in the Guardian Dragon series, this passive skill could increase the power of all dragon-related skills released by mechanical pet beasts by two levels and greatly increase defense.
Ordinary researchers would not be able to remove the “Limitless Dragon Scales” skill from the second-generation mechanical dragon even if they bought it and give it to other pets because modern mechas learn skills generally through mechanical chips instead of external armor.
However, Gluttonous Beast was different; both Infinite Evolution and SelfTransformation could help it obtain ancient mecha skills smoothly.
With this in mind, an excited David hurriedly replied.
[PharmacyApprentice: @Vine, I’ll take them all.]
