Three days later, Su Yun soared through the sky using the Purple Cloud Wings and Phantom Decision.
Now that he had successfully broken through to Battle Spirit, the surge of Battle Qi in his body reduced the burden of using the Purple Cloud Wings and Phantom Decision.
Being someone who disliked trouble, Su Yun didn't want to attract unnecessary attention by flying with the Purple Cloud Wings within the Adder Empire. Although the likelihood was low, he preferred to avoid any trouble. His time was precious, and he didn't want to get entangled with people with ulterior motives.
After flying for half a day, he arrived at Black Rock City.
Situated to the east of the Adder Empire, Black Rock City was one of the top cities in the empire. Although Utan City was also a large city, it was ranked at the bottom and couldn't compare to Black Rock City's prosperity.
The streets were bustling with people, indicating the city's prosperity.
Su Yun wore the robes of an alchemist and a face mask. He didn't plan to use any particular identity here since there was nothing special about this place, and there were no individuals worth too much attention. He didn't want to spend too much effort.
His choice of this location was simply because it was more developed, making it convenient for purchasing medicinal herbs and magic cores.
As for purchasing from the Tagore Desert, that was not something he had considered. Located at the border of the Adder Empire, the Tagore Desert had many strong individuals, but it wasn't as prosperous and stable, so it might not be as convenient as here.
Su Yun arrived at the alchemist guild in the city.
The headquarters of the alchemist guild here was quite unique, resembling a medicine cauldron, clearly custom-made.
It was much more advanced than the one in Fallen Dust City.
As he reached the entrance, there were no guards stopping him, probably because he was wearing the robes of an alchemist, and the four silver lines on his chest were quite conspicuous.
During this period, he had consumed a lot of medicinal herbs, so it was time to purchase some more. Of course, the alchemist guild would also conduct exchanges for magic cores, alchemy recipes, and other items, with alchemists setting up stalls here.
Su Yun entered the hall and purchased some medicinal herbs from the staff before browsing the stalls.
There were many alchemists setting up stalls here, mainly first and second-grade alchemists, with very few third-grade alchemists. As for fourth-grade alchemists, there were none.
In Black Rock City, the only fourth-grade alchemists should be the guild master, Vuklan, and the vice-guild master, Otto.
Su Yun took a look around, occasionally using the scanning function of the system to see if he could find any bargains at the stalls.
Unfortunately, he didn't seem to have such luck.
He couldn't help but feel jealous of Xiao Yan's luck when he casually picked up something in the Imperial Capital and found the first variation of the Heavenly Flame Three Profound Transformation. But unfortunately, such luck wouldn't come to him.
However, Su Yun had already made up his mind.
When the time came, he would figure out how to get that thing from Xiao Yan. He couldn't wait for the time when that crop of leeks would mature.
Su Yun grinned.
Su Yun only found two fourth-grade magic cores at the stalls, which he purchased at a high price.
He didn't lack gold coins, and among alchemists, Su Yun was considered wealthy. While a 40% success rate in alchemy was already impressive for most alchemists, he had a 90% success rate, the difference between them was self-evident.
After leaving the stalls, Su Yun saw four people approaching him.
Su Yun used the scanning function of the system to know the identities of these four people.
Vuklan and Otto, along with their disciples, Xue Mei and Lin Fei.
Su Yun was somewhat surprised, but then he understood.
It was normal for a stranger who was a fourth-grade alchemist to appear in their territory.
Su Yun's eyes flickered, perhaps he could ask for their help.
On this trip, he had only purchased two fourth-grade magic cores, which couldn't satisfy his appetite.
If he went there personally, not only would it be troublesome, but it would also be much less efficient.
However, it would be different for them. As the local bigwigs of Black Rock City, they were familiar with the forces in the city, and their speed would be much faster than his.
Su Yun had already made a calculation in his mind, but he maintained a neutral expression on his face. In fact, it didn't matter whether he showed his thoughts or not, especially since he was wearing a face mask.
"Hello, I am Vuklan, the guild master of the alchemist guild in Black Rock City."
"I am Otto, the vice-guild master of the alchemist guild."
The two people in front of Su Yun took the initiative to greet him.
Su Yun nodded.
"I see. I am Master Gu Feiyang. Pleased to meet you, Master Gu Feiyang."
Su Yun casually used a name and addressed them.
After all, Su Yun's real name and appearance couldn't be casually exposed. Currently, only Little Doctor Immortal knew about them.
"It turns out to be Master Gu Feiyang. Nice to meet you."
The two of them said politely.
Su Yun had just entered the alchemist guild, and someone had come to report to them that a strange fourth-grade alchemist had arrived at the guild.
Naturally, they were a bit curious and decided to come out and see.
The two of them gestured for Xue Mei and Lin Fei to step forward, intending to make them familiar with Su Yun in front of him.
In the continent of Dou Qi, the master-disciple relationship was quite solid, and they cherished their respective disciples very much.
Thinking of accumulating some connections for the two of them, they brought them along.
"Master, I'm Xue Mei (Lin Fei). Nice to meet you, Master."
Su Yun nodded, understanding their intentions. In the world of alchemists, the transition from master to disciple was usually accompanied by establishing connections.
"Master Gu Feiyang, why don't we exchange some experiences? There aren't many fourth-grade alchemists in the Adder Empire, and I'm sure you know that," Vuklan said, extending an invitation to Su Yun.
This was their real purpose.
Both of them had just been promoted to fourth-grade alchemists in recent years. Now that they saw someone of the same level, they naturally couldn't help but want to exchange experiences and improve their alchemy skills.
Su Yun nodded, quite pleased with this arrangement.
"That's fine. I haven't seen a fellow fourth-grade alchemist for a long time. Let's exchange some experiences."
Hearing this, the two of them exchanged glances, seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
The five of them entered a quiet room, with Xue Mei and Lin Fei serving on the side.
After everyone was seated, Vuklan started the conversation. After all, as the host, it wouldn't be appropriate for Su Yun to speak first.
As for why Otto didn't start, it was like the hierarchy in schools, with the principal first
, then the vice-principal, and then the head teacher and other teachers. These things were complicated.
Vuklan talked about his understanding of fourth-grade alchemists, speaking for almost half an hour.
Otto's speech was almost the same.
Su Yun wasn't interested in the so-called experiences they shared, and he even felt like laughing.
If he remembered correctly, these two seemed to have just been promoted to fourth-grade alchemists after attending Fahma's lectures. They had probably been promoted just a year or two ago.
Considering the time, they had just been promoted for one or two years?
What they said was not only superficial but also quite wrong.
