Chapter 434: Chapter 6: Message
The so-called Secondary Invincible Shield is not truly invincible in the literal sense; it merely possesses strong defensive power.
This is not something Su Xiao should worry about; at this stage, there is no enemy who can break this shield.
One second may seem brief, but if used correctly, it can be life-saving.
You can tell just by the Divine Emperor’s fixed gaze on the scabbard, the [Divine Spirit Afterglow] has saved him a few times.
"You must cherish and use it often, make sure to clean it regularly."
The Divine Emperor appears to have lost his heart and soul, yet there’s nothing he can do.
From this perspective, the Divine Emperor is a born leader; the Original Sin Suit and the Artificial Human Bloodline are more important for the team, at least of higher value to the team than the [Divine Spirit Afterglow].
Xiela gave Su Xiao a hateful glance, opening and closing her mouth but unable to think of what to say for a long time.
Both sides voluntarily traded fairly, it’s just one willing to hit and the other willing to take it.
"Brother Bai Ye, have you heard about the auction tomorrow?"
"Auction?"
Su Xiao, who was fiddling with the new scabbard, looked up; he hadn’t heard of an auction in Reincarnation Paradise.
"Yes, our Divine Emperor and the Black Sail Merchant Group are hosting it together, tomorrow morning at eight, at the Central Hall."
Upon hearing the location at the Central Hall, Su Xiao immediately thought that the Divine Emperor and Black Flag truly are two rich groups.
He had heard of the Central Hall before; its location near the Trading Square, not open to the public, only open after being rented by a Contractor.
The rent is 20,000 Paradise coins per hour, and this is just the rent, excluding equipment costs.
If all costs are counted, the expenses for hosting an auction would exceed 500,000 Paradise coins.
"Auctioning equipment?"
"No, no, no, they auction everything you can imagine: equipment, skills, bloodlines, recovery items, soul crystals, only your imagination limits it."
Su Xiao’s interest grew.
"This is a front-row ticket, originally priced at 3,000 Paradise coins; I’ll give you a discount, 2,000 Paradise coins."
Su Xiao bought it directly, seeing Reincarnation Paradise’s notarization on the ticket.
"Don’t forget to attend, that Crazy Healer guy often talks about you."
"Talks about me? Probably wants to kill me."
"Haha, you guessed it right."
The Divine Emperor walked away with a carefree air, Xiela looked at Su Xiao, withdrawing her hand into her sleeve, revealing her middle finger at Su Xiao.
"If you provoke again, next time we meet in a Derivative World, I’ll kill you."
Upon hearing Su Xiao’s words, Xiela chuckled softly.
"Don’t mess around."
The Divine Emperor looked at Xiela with a serious face.
"This guy means it."
The Divine Emperor had some understanding of Su Xiao, knowing that Su Xiao had a temperament of drawing a blade at the slightest disagreement, always opting for action over words.
"A dangerous guy, really similar to those crazies in the travel group."
"Not similar, it’s a wonder to me why he hasn’t joined the travel group yet."
The siblings walked away, and Su Xiao yawned. The reason he revealed a killing intent was due to a feeling.
Xiela wanted to snatch back the [Divine Spirit Afterglow], and this was not an illusion; for a moment, Xiela indeed had that intention.
The auction would be held tomorrow, hosted by the Divine Emperor and Black Sail Merchant Group; renting the Central Hall, there’s no doubt the scale would be large.
Su Xiao had 96,306 Paradise coins, nearly hundred thousand, ready to participate in the auction tomorrow, trying to see if he could purchase soul crystals or good equipment.
Returning to his exclusive room, Su Xiao lay down on the bed, relaxed.
Enhancements and equipment sales were completed; the remaining Paradise coins were reserved for use at tomorrow’s auction.
He opened the alchemy list to check ’Alchemical Potion Study’; it had been upgraded to Lv.6, with over 1,000 skill points. Su Xiao estimated these skill points were enough to upgrade Alchemical Potion Study to full level, though it’s basic within the broader alchemy discipline, having it at full would mean he could stably mix potions, with advanced abilities being the truly tricky aspects.
Every level cost 500 Paradise coins, Su Xiao began upgrading Alchemical Potion Study.
[Alchemical Potion Study has been upgraded to Lv.7.]
[Alchemical Potion Study has been upgraded to Lv.8.]
[Alchemical Potion Study has been upgraded to Lv.9.]
...
[Alchemical Potion Study has been upgraded to Level 20!]
[Alchemical Potion Study has reached full level.]
After spending 7,000 Paradise coins, Alchemical Potion Study reached the top level, and the remaining 50 skill points vanished.
[Unlocked ’High-level Alchemy Potion’ recipe.]
[Unlocked ’Burning Potion’ recipe.]
[Unlocked ’Super Grade Alchemy Elixir’ recipe.]
[Unlocked ’Dragon Power’ recipe.]
Alchemy Potion Study newly unlocked four recipes; these are not all recipes, as higher-level recipes require Su Xiao to research himself, but he doesn’t want to invest too many resources into alchemy, as that would lead his development direction to go off track.
Checking the attributes of the ’High-level Alchemy Potion’ recipe, the High-level Alchemy Potion is of green quality, with some increased Life Value recovery.
Ignoring the ’High-level Alchemy Potion’ recipe, Su Xiao directly checked the ’Super Grade Alchemy Elixir’ recipe.
Attempting to create [Super Grade Alchemy Elixir], a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.
[Insufficient materials, would you like to pay 5,000 Paradise coins to substitute the needed materials?]
With a cost of 5,000 Paradise coins + 300 Mana points, it shows how high [Super Grade Alchemy Elixir]’s cost is.
After a moment of hesitation, Su Xiao chose to proceed with manufacturing.
A faint green light flickered in his hand, with Paradise coins rapidly transforming into materials.
Five minutes later, a potion appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, with a transparent bottle filled with pale red liquid, the bottle roughly finger-length.
[Super Grade Alchemy Elixir]
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Quality: Blue
Type: Healing item
Effect: Rapidly restores 65% of Life Value after drinking.
Rating: 68
Description: A high-level alchemical product, infused with a small amount of biological knowledge, and is free of side effects.
...
The recovery amount is undeniably adequate, more importantly, the recovery speed indicates rapid recovery.
[Super Grade Alchemy Elixir] can bring quite a profit if sold, easily ranging from 6,000 to 7,000 Paradise coins.
Su Xiao doesn’t plan to sell this potion in large numbers; he intends to stock it for personal use.
With a manufacturing cost of 5,000 Paradise coins + 300 Mana points, he could produce three bottles per day; his stay in Reincarnation Paradise is only three days long, and with the remaining Mana points upon returning, he might just manage to produce a dozen or so bottles.
This doesn’t include the cost in Paradise coins; realistically speaking, he might produce only five or six bottles at most.
With a stock exceeding five bottles, he might decide to sell; after all, it represents a profit, and by manufacturing and selling a bottle, he doesn’t have to worry about cash flow issues.
’Alchemy Explosive Study’ and ’Alchemical Potion Study’ both have their merits; although the special-grade explosives and potions produced aren’t the strongest, they are quite practical and convenient to make.
Putting away the Super Grade Alchemy Elixir, Su Xiao checked the other two potions.
The ’Burning Potion’ recipe is for making a high-intensity incendiary bomb, whose flames cannot be extinguished, like persistent maggots, albeit expensive with each bottle costing 8,000 Paradise coins.
The ’Dragon Power’ recipe is quite intriguing; this potion actually has an expiry date.
Attempted to manufacture ’Dragon Power Potion’, and Reincarnation Paradise’s prompt appeared.
[Insufficient materials, would you like to spend 2,000 Paradise coins to replace the needed materials?]
Spending 2,000 Paradise coins alongside 180 Mana points, Su Xiao began creating the Dragon Power Potion.
A crystal bottle appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, narrow at the top and wider at the bottom, filled with a golden-yellow potion.
