Chapter 540 - 276: Helen’s Visit (Part 2)

He turned around and slowly walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion, feeling a bit emotional: "To live another five years, let me see the future of us Alchemists, and see how high Alchemy can reach."

Baiyi looked at the other two Alchemists.

They still didn’t have the aura of death, which meant that though they had entered their twilight years, they had over fifty years of life left, which was relatively abundant.

The two slightly bowed: "It is our honor."

"Good, someone will contact you. But rest assured, even though we can’t cooperate at market prices, some of the formulas we need will be given to you for free."

Baiyi smiled and said: "And if you are interested, you can also attend the lectures of those young people. Perhaps it might lead you to a deeper understanding and further progress?"

The two nodded: "Then we shall take our leave."

"Alright, take care."

After the two left, Baiyi looked at the Deputy Director of Armaments: "You are an Alchemy Potion Master, but I don’t plan to create potions recently. However, you can take a look at this first."

Baiyi retrieved a blank book from the Demon Realm, using Spiritual Power to inscribe Alchemy Inscriptions and began to write.

Some potion formulas from the Potion Treasure Manual were quickly written out.

Baiyi didn’t keep much secret, but of course, it was impossible to casually give away the Potion Treasure Manual. These are high-tier resources; if they could be produced, they would greatly enhance personal strength.

Both the merit store of the Legion and the potion resources and official sales channels of Dongwu City have somewhat increased attractiveness.

When the number of formulas reached twenty, Baiyi stopped writing and handed the formulas to the Deputy Director.

He took the book, and with just one glance, was captivated by the content, as the potion ideas from previous eons could provide great inspiration to Alchemy Potion Masters.

Especially the ratio of some materials and the medicinal effects, those Sages were all top-tier existences.

"This is..."

"Some formulas acquired from relics, very interesting stuff. Study these thoroughly first. I will notify the finance department; someone will contact you for any materials you need." Baiyi smiled and said.

A look of excitement appeared on the Deputy Director’s face. He barely contained his emotions and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your generosity, Baiyi City Lord."

"Get to work then."

"I take my leave now....."

Watching these golden backs, Baiyi felt a bit emotional. It’s not just them; now, the gold rank in Dongwu City has long surpassed double digits, reaching over forty, although most are Golden Lower Tier.

About half of them have entered the official ranks, as recorded in the statistics of Zero.

The Apocalypse Legion of twenty thousand, in these five years, all entered Silver, moving massively towards Silver Middle Tier.

They have absorbed almost all of Dongwu City’s elite close combat forces. Yet, even at Silver, with the increasing concentration of Magic Power, their competitive pressure is unusually high.

In the elimination mechanism, except for the fifty thousand Modified Warriors of Whisper, all other legions train as if their lives depend on it.

This includes the Wu City Army, which has the largest number.

The mode of operation of the legions has changed now.

Those eliminated from the Apocalypse Army will enter the Storm Army; those eliminated from the Storm Army will enter the Wu City Army, and those eliminated from the Wu City Army are truly eliminated.

Fresh blood mostly comes from the Wu City Army to the Storm Army, and then from the Storm Army to the Apocalypse Army, unless they challenge Apocalypse or Storm directly.

This model allows the most elite to gather in Apocalypse, which is the ace force Baiyi truly wants to cultivate, a legion of geniuses composed purely of talent without modification.

And now, even if the twenty-five thousand legion expands in Dongwu City, the twenty thousand of Apocalypse will remain unchanged.

If capable, move up; if not, move down. Apocalypse only wants the very best.

After Baiyi arranged things for the Alchemists with Zero, he began to consider matters of Apocalypse.

They use the best resources, and their pay is also the highest, yet, the attraction still seems insufficient.

If entering Apocalypse allowed enjoying an 80% or 50% discount on the merit exchange system...

Baiyi frowned, with twenty thousand people, there will certainly be those who resell undersold items....

But only adding a discount frequency restriction should solve the problem...

Buzz~

As Baiyi pondered, a slight spatial fluctuation emanated around him, noticeable and something he could shut down, seemingly inquiring if teleportation was permissible.

Baiyi snapped back to reality, walking to the Lake Heart Pavilion, with the fluctuation following his stride, indicating the fluctuation’s originator had reached a high level of understanding in space manipulation.

Baiyi sat down and took a nearly three-thousand-year-old jar of wine from his Space Ring, smiling as he said: "This is still the wine you gave me, care to try?"

"Sure."

Helen responded warmly, today dressed in white, looking graceful and elegant, with slightly long hair draped over his shoulders, exuding the aura of an ancient Eastern gentleman.

"Changed your style?" Baiyi remarked with some surprise, opening the jar’s seal, allowing a strong aroma of wine to fill the air.

Fish in the small lake within the city leapt repeatedly, seemingly attracted by the wine’s fragrance.

"Time acceleration? Alas, not enough Natural Elements." Helen sniffed it, remarking regretfully: "But it indeed has a unique flavor."

Baiyi poured Helen some wine, with a note of helplessness: "No choice, wanting to reach Xia’s level in a world without magic is impossible, but it’s still quite decent, at least allowing Legendary plants to survive."

"Indeed, your idea is quite good, I too want to create a Small World," Helen sipped the wine, sighing: "Wine indeed requires time to mature."

"What brings you to me?" Baiyi took a sip, feeling the Demonic Qi filling his body, and asked reflectively.

[You drank the Natural Brew, Charm +1.]

"Preparing to reach Legendary, came to have a look." Helen surveyed the surroundings: "This place of yours is still the best."

"It’s nothing, just as it is." Baiyi looked up, the Alchemy Magic Shield blocking outside views without hindering those looking out, and the Magic Concentration being significantly higher here due to the active guidance of Alchemy Inscriptions.

For ordinary people, this place is indeed nice, but Helen... Baiyi felt like this guy was here to boast.

"Once you reach Legendary, you’ll be at ease, but as for the Sword Saint..."

"Mm."

Helen toyed with a jade wine cup, his eyes hiding some emotion: "It’s hopeless, for Swordsmen that’s just how it is, the Sword Saint already reached his peak."

"Yes, mortals have limits no matter how strong, even Tier Ten Taboo will eventually be defeated by time." Baiyi fell into silence.

After a long pause, he finally said: "Stop beating around the bush, Brother Helen, speak your mind."

"I have a legacy, might need to leave for a while."

"How long?" Baiyi frowned, resealing the wine for storage in the Time Deceleration Zone of the Demon Realm, and headed towards the laboratory.

Helen smiled, following Baiyi towards the laboratory, softly saying: "At least ten years, I won’t be back before ten years, but I’ll need your help."

"Let’s go, no need to discuss this. I need order, and so do you; the Federation will be fine." Baiyi said as he entered the laboratory.

Buzz~

A strong buzzing sound arose, with numerous Alchemy Inscriptions surfacing, isolating all leaks of breath, and cutting off some prying eyes.

Helen was always in the spotlight; wherever he was, people paid attention through various means.

"Phew~ it’s been so long since I’ve felt this relaxed."

"You speak, and no one will constantly watch you."

"But their intentions are good, having enjoyed all the resources, one should at least reassure them, right?"

"I can’t do it, which is why I won’t go to the Capital City."

"Everyone lives their own life." Helen smiled, waving his hand. Instantly, numerous Epic Level materials appeared, and Baiyi sensed the presence of the Root Source in them: "These are all provided by the watchers; they care about me too much."

Baiyi paused: "You really do think highly of me. To truly utilize these materials’ effects, a Sage Level Alchemist is required...."

"You can do it..." Helen averted his gaze, somewhat uncomfortable: "Only you can."

"Can’t Mage Potions work?"

Helen spread his hands: "I couldn’t find a formula, so I can only describe the effect, you can handle it as you see fit. The rest is yours."

Baiyi: ....

He carefully examined them, with the lowest being Epic Level materials, and a total of three Root Source items, all Natural Type plants, one Wood Element, one Water Element, one Life Type.

"Let’s hear it."

"Replenish the Blood of Nature..."
