"What can I do for you?"
Walking into the gloomy house, a cold voice came from my ears.
Hearing the sound, Atier raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
There, a figure shrouded in a black robe was sitting in the corner with a hood on his head. His appearance could not be seen clearly and he looked a little scary in the dark environment.
Athir was naturally not frightened by the surrounding environment, and his face remained calm: "Do you accept potions here?"
"Huh?"
Hearing what Athir said, the person in front seemed a little surprised: "Are you a pharmacist?"
As he spoke, the man stood up, revealing his inner appearance.
It was a woman wearing a black robe and a hood. Her face looked very pale, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
As she stood up, a strong stench of corpse wafted from the surroundings, making Athir frown.
"The target is emitting high-intensity radiation and has multiple stitches all over his body. There is a 79.4% chance that this is a human body modification experiment."
In my mind, the sound of a chip machine came.
Hearing the chip's prompt, Atier couldn't help but frown and took a step back calmly.
"Take out the potion you want to sell." The woman in black robe spoke directly to Athir, her voice carrying a hint of undisguised coldness.
Listening to the other party's words, Athir did not say anything, but directly opened a package in his hand, revealing the medicine inside.
These potions were specially brought by Atier. Because he didn't dare to sell too many at one time, he only brought a few healing potions this time and did not bring all the potions.
"Well, they are all healing potions, which is really useful at this time."
After taking a look at the potion that emitted a turquoise color, the woman in black robe said directly, "This kind of potion is very popular recently. How about I give you nine magic stones for each portion?"
In response, Athir nodded slightly to show his agreement.
After reaching a consensus on the price, they quickly completed the transaction.
After the transaction was over, Athir looked at the pale woman in front of him, "Excuse me, do you have any potion formula to sell?"
"Pharmacy formula..."
Glancing at Athir, the woman casually asked, "Do you want the incomplete one?"
"Is it true?"
Athir looked at the woman with some surprise: "Take it out and let me see it."
"Wait a moment." The woman turned and walked towards the room.
After a while, she came out with a thick book in her hand, and then opened it gently.
The moment the book was opened, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed, and it seemed to become slightly colder.
"Such a strong negative energy!"
Feeling the changes around him, Athir's face became solemn and he looked at the contents of the book.
"This is... the recipe for the necromancy potion."
The moment he saw the contents of the potion, Athir looked at the woman in front of him thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.
The Potion of Necromancer is a very famous potion in the history of pharmacy.
People who drink this potion will, after a period of transformation, be transformed into undead bodies by negative energy, thereby gaining some of the characteristics of the undead and achieving a longer lifespan.
This potion is famous because it is one of the few potions that can greatly extend the life of a wizard. Although after drinking this potion, the wizard's mental strength will be extremely difficult to improve because the body is transformed into a dead spirit system, it is still an excellent choice for those wizards who are about to die.
However, this kind of medicine is extremely difficult to refine, and the method of refining is extremely cruel, and few pharmacists can refine it.
"This is indeed the recipe for the necromancy potion, but it is incomplete."
Looking at Athir, the black-robed woman sneered: "If it's the complete formula of the necromancy potion, I can't afford it even if I sell you."
Listening to her words, Athir remained calm and did not refute.
What the other party said was indeed true. As a high-level potion, the necromancy potion had a complete formula and it was impossible for an apprentice like him to afford it.
As for the remnant party, there is still a possibility.
"How many magic stones?"
He ignored the other person's words and asked directly.
Hearing this question, the woman lowered her head and thought for a while before quoting a price: "Eight hundred magic stones."
"This is a fixed price, there is no room for negotiation."
Looking at Athir, she added again.
Opposite her, hearing the price, Athir couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Strictly speaking, although the price is a bit expensive, it is still within a reasonable range.
The necromancy potion is an advanced potion that can prolong life. If it is a complete formula, it would not be surprising to sell it for tens of thousands of magic stones.
Although the copy in front of him was incomplete, Athir took a look and found that it contained about 60% to 70% of the complete formula, and the knowledge content related to negative energy transformation was very complete, which was of great reference and learning value. Although the price of 800 magic stones was a bit expensive, it was not too outrageous.
But for Athir, he didn't have 800 magic stones on him now.
Although Athir had saved up a large amount of magic stones by refining potions in the academy, most of these magic stones were spent by him in exchange for various potion formulas and spell templates. He only had a total of two hundred magic stones left, which was still a long way from this figure.
"Can you wait a while?"
Athir frowned and asked.
"Of course." The woman nodded: "I live nearby and won't leave unless it's necessary."
After getting the reply, Athir's originally frowned brows relaxed a little, and then he left the store directly.
"Including the batch of healing potions I just sold, I now have a total of 300 magic stones on me, which is still a long way from 800 magic stones."
As he walked on the road, Athir thought: "If I want to collect all the magic stones in a short time, I have to sell all the potions I brought from the academy."
When Athir left the academy, he took a batch of potions with him. If all of these potions were sold, the price of 800 magic stones should be enough.
But if he did so, Athir's potion reserves would be almost used up. And by then, all the magic stones and potions on him would be used up, and it would be very troublesome if he wanted to do anything else.
"We can only try it first. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways."
Standing there, Athir thought lightly.
He walked around for a while, and after getting a general idea of the situation there, he found a place to stay nearby.
A few days later, he came here again.
This time, he did not hesitate and walked straight to a moving building deep in the market.
"Sir, how can I help you?"
As I walked in, a blonde female apprentice came up to me quickly with a smile on her face.
Athir glanced at her and then said, "You can auction things here, right?"
"Yes."
Listening to Athir's words, the blonde female apprentice kept a smile on her face and explained to Athir: "In the Principality of Allen, our Xile Auction House has the strongest reputation and strength. No matter what you need to auction, we can help you get an ideal price."
"Of course, as a price, you need to pay a handling fee equivalent to 10% of the final auction price."
Looking at Athir, she spoke.
"How do you calculate the auction spell template?"
Looking at the blonde female apprentice in front of him, Atier was too lazy to say more and asked directly.
"Well, that depends on what spell template you're auctioning."
After hearing what Athir said, the female apprentice's eyes lit up slightly, and then she said, "You can take out the spell template you want to auction. You don't need to reveal all the contents. You just need to show us some of them so that we can understand the approximate power of the spell."
"For this aspect, our auction house has specialized personnel who can accurately estimate the value of a spell template."
Hearing this, Athir nodded slightly and took out something.
It was a notebook that looked quite new on the surface, and it contained records of what he had specially prepared over the past few days.
Taking the notebook, the female apprentice opened the first page and immediately showed disappointment in her eyes: "Just a basic bundle of mana?"
Mana Beam is just a small spell of level 0. The basic template can be found in many places and has no value at all.
However, seeing the calm expression on Athir's face, she still patiently turned a few pages.
Suddenly, her expression changed slightly: "This unique construction method, as well as the complex particle transformation and collision reaction..."
She raised her head and looked at Athir, her face serious: "Is this the improved template of the Mana Beam?"
In response, Athir remained calm and nodded slightly.
"Please wait a moment. I cannot assess the value of this level of improved spells."
She solemnly returned the notes in her hand to Athir, then walked inside quickly.
After a while, she came back again, followed by an old man in a white robe.
"This is Master Gem. He is the most proficient in spell evaluation in our auction house."
She looked at Athir and took the initiative to introduce him.
"Hello." Athir nodded to show that he understood.
He handed the notes in his hand to the old man in front of him and asked him to identify them there.
Soon, the other party's expression changed from calm to solemn, and finally gradually turned into excitement.
"Oh my god, what a genius idea!"
He looked at Athir and exclaimed, "If I'm not mistaken, this improved beam of mana is not only twice as powerful as the original template, but also more concealed!"
"What's even more incredible is that even though the power has increased so much, the mental energy consumed and the stability of this spell haven't changed much. It's really unbelievable!!"
The old man in a white robe looked at Athir and exclaimed: "If this spell template itself was not complicated enough and the knowledge involved was only within the scope of an apprentice, I would almost think that this was improved by a powerful formal wizard."
