Chapter 134 – Future Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 134 – Future Alchemy Grandmaster

After clearing his red name status, Lin Jichen and Jiang Luoyu tore up the teleportation talisman together and returned to Fengqu City.

He stored all his equipment in the shop and set a daily limit of three thousand items for sale.

Moreover, he increased the prices of Ordinary Grade items by 20% and Spirit Grade items by 50%.

These were all suggestions from Jiang Luoyu.

Jiang Luoyu told him that he now owned the first private equipment store in Tale of Immortal, and there was no need to sell items so cheaply.

This was called the "first effect." It was a seller's market now, with plenty of buyers, so there was no need to worry about sales.

After finishing up, Lin Jichen returned all the storage rings to Jiang Luoyu.

These rings were temporarily borrowed from Moon Shadow Guild members; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to store so much equipment.

"Thanks a lot this time, Guild Master Jiang... oh no, Little Jiang."

Lin Jichen quickly corrected himself, almost calling her the wrong name again.

Jiang Luoyu found the name "Little Jiang" awkward and said, "Forget it, just call me Luoyu. 'Little Jiang' sounds like a boy's name."

"Alright, then can I go back to being 'Big Lin'?" Lin Jichen asked.

"No, but you can be 'Little Chen'," Jiang Luoyu said with a light laugh.

Lin Jichen sighed. Was he destined to be associated with the word "little" his whole life?

"Alright, I need to head back to my sect to complete some tasks. See you next time."

Jiang Luoyu was about to leave but suddenly turned back and asked, "Are you going to farm Corpse King Valley today?"

"Huh? Can we? Of course, I'd love to, but I didn't want to trouble you," Lin Jichen said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Many guilds wish they had the chance to farm with you. It's a good way to boost our guild's overall cultivation. Let's stick to the usual time tonight?"

Lin Jichen thought for a moment and said, "How about we change it to tomorrow during the day? That way, your members won't have to stay up late, and you won't have to pay overtime."

Jiang Luoyu smiled and nodded, "Alright, let's do it during the day then."

"And next time we farm a Secret Realm, we should split the equipment evenly. I have enough to solve my immediate needs. It's not fair for a big guild like yours to always be short on equipment. Agreed?"

Lin Jichen didn't want people working for free all the time. There were many ways to boost cultivation, but farming Secret Realms was mostly for the equipment. It wouldn't be fair for them to always leave empty-handed.

"Then I won't be polite. Agreed, see you," Jiang Luoyu said straightforwardly before leaving.

Lin Jichen checked the time. It was getting late, so he quickly logged off.

Because this wasn't just a game!

It was connected to another real world.

How could they change that?

So Lin Jichen wasn't worried at all about these protests. He knew that at most, the officials would issue a statement and that would be it.

Skipping over that news, Lin Jichen opened his alternate account to check the recruitment information he had posted on the forum.

His recruitment for Alchemy Masters and Equipment Masters had received many responses, with people leaving their game IDs and screenshots of their alchemy grades.

Most of them were first-grade Alchemy Masters and Equipment Masters, which was expected given that everyone was new to the profession.

Lin Jichen didn't mind; they could all grow.

As long as they signed a good contract and were well-trained, they could become high-grade Alchemy Masters working for him in the future.

Currently, NPC Alchemy Masters in the game were indeed stronger and of higher grades than player Alchemy Masters.

But the problem was that he could only recruit up to fourth-grade Alchemy Masters and Equipment Masters from the game.

Higher-grade masters were highly sought after and extremely difficult to recruit.

Lin Jichen planned to train some good prospects in advance and sign long-term contracts. Even if they were poached, the breach of contract fees alone would be a big profit.

As he flipped through the pages, on the fourth page, Lin Jichen's eyes widened when he saw a familiar game ID: Bai Ge.

He was shocked because this person was a future renowned eighth-grade Alchemy Master!

Almost reaching the level of a ninth-grade grandmaster.

She was recognized as the top player Alchemy Master!

After the initial shock, Lin Jichen was ecstatic. He hadn't expected to recruit such a talent.

Lin Jichen knew a lot about this person. Bai Ge's real name was Zhao Baige, and her family had been traditional Chinese medicine practitioners for three generations. She also studied Chinese medicine.

Due to the decline of traditional Chinese medicine, her family's clinic had no business, so she bought a gaming ring out of boredom.

In the game, she was a newbie with no interest in cultivation or fighting monsters.

But she became fascinated with alchemy and started to immerse herself in it.

Initially, the herbs needed for alchemy were too expensive for her to afford, so she sought employment as a full-time Alchemy Master with various guilds and studios.

But due to her low cultivation realm, her early success rate in alchemy was pitifully low.

She faced rejection everywhere she went, and eventually, no one wanted to hire her.
