The Survivor and the System
Chapter 45: Auctioning For Money!
The sky gradually turned into twilight as Edward finally rose from his deep sleep. Vaporizing for a moment, Edward stretched his muscles lazily. Raising his head, his vision stopped on a figure wearing a golden radiance from the setting sun. Bright and clear as liquid water, a pair of eyes met him. She smiles.
"Did Edward's brother finally wake up?” Violet let out a laugh as she asked a question to Edward who had just woken up.
Smiling with a nod of his head, Edward got up, twisting his numb neck. Staring at Edward's look with an interested look, Violet smiled.
After getting all his senses, Edward finally realized the color of the sky was gloomy. Giving an apologetic smile to Violet, she knew that she had been waiting for him all along.
Putting back her clothes, she started making jokes with Violet."Not goin? Today is a good day so why don't you let big brother treat you with good food in Javes City City City!."
"Hihi, then, I want to eat the most expensive.."He replied with his own light laughter. Strike on the limestone for a while, he carefully plopped down next to Edward, emitting faint bell laughter that spread throughout the green forest.
……
To thank Violet for waiting all afternoon, Edward took Violet for a walk around Javes City before parting ways with her in the clan.
Dragging his still-excited legs back to his room, Edward flopped onto the bed and hugged his blanket. With a gentle murmur to himself, he said."It's been two months that I've been stuck in the High Level Elite Fighter, if this continues. I'm afraid I'll be left behind by that arrogant woman!."
With a strand of breath, Edward threw his head back into his blanket. “Now I'm already a High Stage Elite Pwtarung, if I want a breakthrough to become a Peak Stage Elite Fighter, I'm afraid it will take another half a year .." After saying that, I'm afraid it will take another half a year, he paused for a moment and threw his blanket over . His previously focused face became gloomy, his voice now showed a cold tone."One year has passed and there are only 4 months left before the day I go to the Holy Moon faction arrives. I fear I won't be able to catch up to Linda Graham in four months."
"Linda Graham is being trained to be the next leading faction of the Holy Moon Faction. His talent could not be said to be low at all and the Holy Moon Faction was also quite strong. They even had the formidable Baron Winger Pill King alchemist among their ranks. It won't be slower than my training speed."Edward thought hard to himself.
Ding!
[That Gu He's friend is nothing more than a 6th level Alchemist. Is he even worthy of being called the Pill King? Other than refining pills, what else could he do?.]
Hearing the system speak in this way, Edward's face suddenly adopted a shocked expression. At this moment, he suddenly thought."The system spoke in such a way, as if he had human emotions. These..What's going on?."
Ding!
[Systems have been upgraded to level two and naturally have intelligence twice as good as humans, so you need not be surprised!.].As if knowing the question in Edward's mind, the system quickly said.
[The reason for the master's training being slowed down was due to the dragon's bloodline pushing back, and this showed a stronger heat than before. If it was not fast on tap, it would damage the meridian pathway and damage the dantian foundation!.]
"What?."Edward felt a cold chill all over his body.
Meridian Path is broken?
The foundation of the Dantian is broken?
Doesn't that mean he's going to be disabled?
Edward shook his head and said in a hurry."System, is there any way to suppress this dragon bloodline? I can't be a cripple. I'll never be able to bear it."
Ding!
[There was one way, master could suppress the dragon bloodline for the next 3 years using the Tier 4 Cooler Pill and with the master's alchemist skill. It can be done!]
Hearing the system's words, Edward finally heaved a sigh of relief. He could not imagine that he would return to being deformed.
"Pil Cooler, what is the recipe for the pill sold in the system shop?."After sighing for a moment, Edward asked an important question.
Recipes are something that is very important in chemists, without a proper prescription. Even if it was a tier-god alchemist, he would find his purity furnace exploding and the medicinal ingredients provided to be useless.
To make a recipe, it takes years of experimentation and research, through many mistakes and endless hard work.
Ding!
[Cooler Pill Recipes are sold at 50 system points, with the current master system points. It will spend the whole, are you sure you will buy it?.]
Edward's bugging."I bought!."
Ding!
[Attakan purchase!.]
[Master gets the 'forge's expertise prize!]
Edward's head quickly filled the recipe information for Cooler Pills and after a while, Edward muttered."Level 4 Cooler Pills....Serving to suppress the threatening heat from the outside or from the inside, the materials needed are four 50-year-old lotus inky lief flowers, two ripened snake venom fruit, etc, one bundle of 20-year-old Gathering Grass spirit, and a second rank water attribute magic stone..."
"The 50-year-old Sky Leaf Lotus? The flowers of that age sold for 3000 gold coins and that was only for one flower! The Ripened Snake Venom Fruit? It was considered to be one of the top low-tier alchemy ingredients, even apothecaries did not bring them, either, it had to be through sheer luck if one had ever obtained one and at least 8000 gold coins would be needed to buy just one . And the 20-year-old Spirit Gather Grass? My God, I only heard about this item appearing at the auction only once and the starting price is 10,500 gold! Even a Water Rank 2 Attribute Magic Stone, the cheapest of all materials, would require at least 2,000 gold pieces.".Edward wiped his sweaty brows and painfully let out a groan."These materials alone would cost around 50,000. Where in the world would I get such a large sum of money?."
"System, why do you have to lose my money balance? Look!. Now I'm really poor.."Edward ruffled his hair in frustration, if only his money balance was limited. He won't have any trouble like this.
Ding!
[Master forgot, the current master is a tier-4 akemist and has a Body Formation Elixir Pill recipe. With just this alone, master can earn a lot of money!.]
Edward touched the green card he had hidden under the pillow a bitter smile. Helpless, he said."I only have 10,000 gold left that I keep in this card, although this cannot buy the ingredients for refining the Cooler Pill, either, but this was enough to buy the refining ingredients of the Body Strengthening Elixir Pill."
Edward was satisfied. To him, refining something as low class as the Body Strengthening Elixir would not be draining. Letting out a short breath, Edward dropped back to his bed and laughed."Being poor is so annoying …"
……
The next morning, Edward quietly slipped away from the clan to the Jeves City pharmacy and bought all the necessary ingredients for the Body Strengthening Elixir Pill. Afterwards, Edward searched for a tavern in a remote area and entered.
Since he was going to sell potions for others to use, he could refine the ingredients together without any special attention. So, Edward would give the Body Strengthening Elixir Pill a low quality.
No matter what?, Body Strengthening Pills were something of a rarity in Javes City. Although it was only level 4, but it required a proper recipe to make it. And other than the mysterious person who auctioned it last time, the recipe could only be found in the system store.
Since he was in desperate need of money, Edward bought enough materials to make 7 Body Strengthening Elixir Pills, which had completely drained the green card money.
This time, Edward spent an entire hour to create all the Elixir Pills. Arranging each of the seven white jade bottles neatly onto the table, Edward could not help but smile widely. Carefully wrapping each bottle with a cloth, he tied it firmly to his back.
Gently patting the elixir Pill on his back, Edward swung the large black robe over himself to hide himself and the elixir from sight before laughing to himself as he walked out of the tavern.
……
At the Primary Trading House inside the treasure examination hall.
Primary Auction's main house, Yolanda, was staring at the 7 small jade bottles filled with Body Strengthening Elixir Pills in front of her in shock. His eyes had lost their usual luster and he bent forward at a dangerous angle.
"Ohuk!."Sitting not too far from Yolanda with his black pouch, Edward coughed, bringing him back to attention.
His pale white hand gently felt the jade bottle while he sniffed it to try and authenticate the elixir. After a while, he handed the bottles over to Roger, the auctioning alchemist.
Taking Elixir away from him, Roger began to examine the bottle closely and then remarked."All of this is truly Elixir Body Strengthener! And the quality is much better than before!."
Upon hearing Roger's confirmation, Yolanda's eyebrows jumped in shock. He observed the black robe that was in front of him and his face was smiling. Generating the most attraction he could muster, he said."I don't think half a year later, Master will bring us such a big business."
Yolanda thought."It was only fitting that he had a lot of money and took out 4 million gold coins easily, it turned out that he was an alchemist. When was the last time I saw a young akemist!."
"When will the elixir be sold?" The cloaked figure asked emotionlessly.
"Do you need money right away? If you are not too busy, then I recommend waiting 1 or 2 days.7 bottles of Body Strengthening Elixir rarely enter the market at the same time. If you let the House of Commerce publish this, then your profits will definitely be much higher ..."Yolanda smiled sweetly while suggesting her idea.
At this point, Yolanda was again attacked by thought."Why does he need money, wasn't the last time he was so rich!."
Hearing this, the cloaked figure fell silent for a moment and in just a moment, a light groan in confirmation sounded.
Hearing his response, Yolanda's smiling face slipped for a moment. His white hand grabbed his teacup and he brought it to his lips. He could now confirm that this black-robed figure was a rank 3 young alchemist, if not a rank 4 alchemist!
Taking a mouthful from the teacup, the cloaked figure once again spoke in a flat voice."Perhaps your Trade House could help in helping me obtain some alchemy ingredients as well?."
Yolanda's bright eyes twinkled as she sat on the chair. Smiling even brighter, he said."What materials do you want?."
"Four 50-year-old Ink Leaf Lotus, two Ripened Snake Venom Fruit, one bundle of 20-year-old Spirit Gathering Grass and one Core Magic Water Attribute Rank 2 …"
On Yolanda's side, Roger's face changed drastically after hearing the ingredients listed. His eyes had a hint of confusion when he saw the black-robed figure.
"Hehe, Yolanda will definitely help master find those ingredients. When I hear a single mention of one of the items, I will immediately inform mister. But, where do you live, I wonder? How are we gonna keep in touch?." As Yolanda asked, she glanced at Roger and saw the shock etched on his face. Seeing that his heart gave a violent leap but he did not show his surprise on his face.
"No need to try to contact me. If any ingredients are present, reduce the cost of the Body Strengthening Elixir. I'll visit again."Under the black robe, a flat voice sounded."I also have other things to pay attention to that cannot be delayed. I'll be back in two days."With that word, the cloaked man stood up and walked out of the Trading House.
Seeing her disappear as she turned around, Yolanda's eyes narrowed."Is there something wrong with the materials he asked for, Uncle Roger?."
Roger shook his head and exhaled before bitterly laughing."If I remember correctly, this is the material to refine to make a Level 4 Cooler Pill."
Yolanda's face changed as soon as she heard that."Didn't one have to become a rank 4 alchemist before trying to create a Cooler Pill?."
Nodding his head, Riger continued."It'll look like that. However, within the Jia Empire, there were no more than 20 rank 4 alchemists. How could we have never heard of this mysterious person before?, what else. He was so young, if not mistaken, that mysterious young man might be in his 30s."
Yolanda gently shook her head, her eyes filled with curiosity as she spoke."A rank 4 alchemist .. if I get the chance, I will definitely make him owe me!."
