Free Web NovelChapter 184: Chapter 120: An Unprecedented 17-Year-Old Tier Two Alchemist
Pei Ze estimated that the 38 potions could easily sell for over twelve thousand Magic Stone Coins.
Compared to the cost of 1,000 Magic Stone Coins, the profit was astronomical.
Of course, he couldn’t sell the high-grade and mid-grade Resonance Potions. He had to keep those for himself.
The remaining 24 bottles of low-grade Resonance Potions could be sold to replenish his funds.
As for how to sell them...
Pei Ze already had a plan.
He used magic to send two letters, then walked out of the alchemy room.
As he passed through the backyard, he heard the sound of flapping wings. A black shadow then descended from the sky, landing lightly on his shoulder.
Wuyu gently pecked his cheek, its glossy black feathers refracting a deep luster in the sunlight.
During this time, Pei Ze had entrusted Tong Ming with purchasing a large number of crow-type Magical Creatures.
This included over two hundred Red-eyed Crows, more than ninety Funeral Crows, and four Netherworld Crows.
Additionally, there were small numbers of Poison Dusk Crows, Storm Crows, Stone-blind Crows, and so on.
However, because their numbers were too small, Wuyu couldn’t manifest their abilities after devouring them.
So far, Wuyu had only fully acquired the Red-eyed Crow’s ability to see through Illusion Techniques and the Funeral Crow’s sonic ability.
Pei Ze had done the math and discovered that the more powerful the ability, the more crow-type Magical Creatures Wuyu needed to devour to fully acquire it.
For example, it only took devouring a little over a hundred Red-eyed Crows to fully obtain their ability.
For the Funeral Crows, it took a few more—over one hundred and thirty—to fully acquire the sonic ability.
Following this trend, he estimated Wuyu would need to devour two to three hundred Netherworld Crows to fully obtain the Power of Death.
This goal would obviously be difficult to achieve.
It was worth noting that the improvements Wuyu gained from devouring crow-type Magical Creatures significantly surpassed those from ordinary crows.
This was to be expected.
After all, ordinary creatures were no match for Magical Creatures.
’From now on, it only needs to devour crow-type Magical Creatures.’
Without realizing it, Pei Ze arrived near a newly planted flower garden, where a series of bell-like laughs reached his ears.
Looking up, he saw Xiaoyi by the flower garden, lounging comfortably in a hollow on a large rock that had been moved from who-knows-where. With her eyes half-closed, she wore an expression of pure bliss.
A group of Withered Leaf Fairies surrounded her like stars orbiting the moon.
Some fanned her with leaves.
Some fed her flower nectar.
And others were massaging her legs.
...
Pei Ze shook his head, speechless.
’This little one is really acting like a feudal lord, ordering the Withered Leaf Fairies around for everything.’
’Oh well. The rare plants were just transplanted and need time to acclimate anyway. There isn’t much work, and having the Wood Elves watch over them is enough for now.’
’I’ll just let the little one enjoy herself for a while.’
Shaking his head, Pei Ze left the backyard.
Just as he reached the first-floor hall, he sensed visitors outside. He smiled faintly and deactivated the array’s restrictions.
A moment later, led by a Water Sprite, Yang Hui and Yue Neng walked in from outside.
"Master Pei Ze, long time no see."
"It’s been a while, you two."
After the pleasantries, Yang Hui eagerly got straight to the point.
"Master Pei Ze, is it true that you have some Resonance Potions to sell?"
Yue Neng also looked at Pei Ze with an expectant expression.
It was no wonder they were so anxious; Resonance Potions were simply too important for Crystal Wizards.
Without resources to aid their Meditation, unless they were Bloodline Wizards, the speed at which their Spirit improved was excruciatingly slow.
This was especially true for ordinary Wizards like them. With average aptitude and unremarkable backgrounds, they didn’t dare risk their lives on the Plane Battlefield for resources. Instead, they settled for cushy jobs at places like the Wizard Management Department, which made obtaining Resonance Potions even more difficult.
Their only source was the single bottle of Resonance Potion provided by the Wizard Management Department as a benefit every three months.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t still be stuck at the Level 1 Gaseous Stage four or five years after becoming Wizards.
That was why they had come running over in such a hurry the moment they heard Pei Ze was selling Resonance Potions.
Pei Ze smiled slightly and gestured for them to sit. Only then did he unhurriedly take out a bottle of Resonance Potion and place it on the table between them.
Yang Hui and Yue Neng’s gazes immediately fell upon the Resonance Potion, their eyes fixed on the liquid inside.
After a moment, they exchanged a glance, and Yang Hui asked tentatively, "Master Pei Ze, would you mind if I perform a potion analysis?"
Pei Ze smiled nonchalantly and made a "go ahead" gesture.
Yang Hui then took out a piece of what looked like parchment paper and spread it on the table. He picked up the bottle of Resonance Potion, uncorked it, and carefully dripped a drop of the liquid onto the paper.
As the liquid seeped into the paper, lines of text immediately materialized on its surface.
Yang Hui’s eyes quickly scanned the text, a trace of delighted surprise flashing across his face.
"Nearly seventy-eight percent purity! It’s just shy of mid-grade quality!"
A pleased look also appeared on Yue Neng’s face.
A Resonance Potion of this purity was far superior to the ones the Wizard Management Department distributed every three months.
Yang Hui’s head snapped up, his gaze fixed on Pei Ze. "Master Pei Ze, did you brew this potion yourself?"
"That’s right," Pei Ze admitted with a calm nod.
Although they had vaguely suspected it, hearing Pei Ze’s direct confirmation still made Yang Hui and Yue Neng gasp involuntarily. Their gazes toward Pei Ze were now filled with awe.
A seventeen-year-old Tier Two Alchemist!
In the entire ten-thousand-year history of Chenxi City, there had never been such a young Tier Two Alchemist!
A seventeen-year-old Official Wizard was certainly rare, but that was far less shocking than a seventeen-year-old Tier Two Alchemist.
After all, the primary prerequisite for becoming an Alchemist was to first become a Wizard.
Chenxi City had seen more than one seventeen-year-old Wizard in its history, but a seventeen-year-old Tier Two Alchemist was unheard of!
What was even more astonishing was that Pei Ze had successfully brewed a Resonance Potion.
This was one of the top three most difficult Tier Two Potions to brew!
Countless Tier Two Alchemists had yet to succeed in brewing even a single bottle.
It took a long while for Yang Hui and Yue Neng to recover from their shock. When they looked at Pei Ze again, an imperceptible hint of reverence had crept into their eyes.
A genius like this would surely grow to a level far beyond their reach.
Collecting his thoughts, Yang Hui composed himself and asked cautiously, "Master Pei Ze, how many Resonance Potions do you have?"
Pei Ze smiled slightly and swept his hand over the table. Yang Hui and Yue Neng saw a flash, and in an instant, 24 bottles of Resonance Potion appeared on the tabletop.
"So many!"
Yang Hui and Yue Neng were stunned.
They had originally thought Pei Ze would be selling seven or eight bottles at most, but they never expected him to have more than twenty.
But after their shock came excitement and pleasant surprise.
"Master Pei Ze, at what price are you planning to sell them?"
"These are all low-grade Resonance Potions. Let’s just go with the market price: 300 Magic Stone Coins per bottle," Pei Ze said.
In truth, he could have easily hiked up the price. Even if he asked for 350 or even 400 Magic Stone Coins per bottle, there would still be Wizards willing to buy them.
However, after careful consideration, Pei Ze decided against it.
If he were too greedy, not only would the Wizards who bought from him harbor resentment, but he would also easily offend other Alchemists and even make others green with envy.
At the end of the day, his costs were already lower than other Alchemists’. Even selling at 300 Magic Stone Coins, his profit margin was astonishingly high. There was no need to invite trouble for a little extra gain.
Hearing Pei Ze’s words, Yang Hui and Yue Neng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They had been afraid Pei Ze would inflate the price. Fortunately, despite his youth, Pei Ze was very measured in his actions.
After settling on the price, Yang Hui bought three bottles of Resonance Potion without a second thought.
Yue Neng went even further and bought four bottles at once.
Opportunities to buy as many Resonance Potions as one wanted were rare. They had to buy more, even if it meant emptying their coffers.
Once the transaction was complete, Pei Ze smiled. "If you two have any friends who need Resonance Potions, feel free to introduce them to me."
Yang Hui and Yue Neng agreed, their faces wreathed in smiles.
Of course, they wouldn’t refuse such an effortless little favor.
They wouldn’t have extra money to buy more potions in the short term anyway, so they weren’t afraid of other people buying up all the stock.
’As for the future... after doing Pei Ze this favor, with this connection, would they ever have to worry about not being able to buy Resonance Potions again?’
The two immediately made up their minds to go back and spread the word about Pei Ze selling Resonance Potions right away.
