Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2662: Preparing for Alchemy

"Forget it, I’m done thinking about it... At least, from the current situation, the existence of this fragmented iron piece is beneficial to me and not harmful!"

"This time, if it weren’t for this... I might have been dead already!"

After thinking for a long time, to the point where his head was about to explode, Wyatt Barnes still couldn’t figure it out, so he simply decided not to dwell on it.

Anyway, given the current situation, the existence of the fragmented iron piece is a good thing for him, not a bad one.

"But... although this immortal flame appears within the fragmented iron piece, who knows if it can be used by me."

Wyatt’s focus shifted from the fragmented iron piece to the gray flame on it.

Currently, he thought it was an ’immortal flame’ used for artifact crafting or alchemy.

Taking another deep breath, Wyatt followed the method to use the immortal flame as taught by the memory talisman, and tried to manipulate the gray flame within the fragmented iron piece.

He then discovered that he could successfully draw out a portion of the gray flame...

"Why did only a bit come out?"

Wyatt tried everything he could, attempting multiple times to use the gray flame in the fragmented iron piece, but after several tries, he could only draw out a small portion of the gray flame, which he could freely use by wielding the method for using immortal flame.

As for most of the remaining gray flame, he was unable to utilize it at all.

"What’s going on?"

For a moment, Wyatt was puzzled again.

After trying for another half hour and finding that he still could only use a small part of the gray flame within the fragmented iron piece, Wyatt finally stopped his experiments and gave up completely.

"I wonder... if the small amount of gray flame I extracted can be used to refine ’Pill Medicine’ or forge ’artifacts’."

"For now, I can’t really tell... whether the characteristics of this gray flame are more suitable for alchemy or for forging."

With all these doubts, Wyatt left the cave and followed the original path out from the depths of the underground, emerging near the foot of a mountain peak.

"Now... let’s head back to the County City."

After coming out, Wyatt’s first thought was to return to Nine Nether County City, and find some medicinal herbs needed for refining the low-grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill’, to see if the small amount of gray flame he could manipulate would enable him to successfully refine the Spirit Essence Pill.

Spirit Essence Pill is a relatively common low-grade Immortal Pill, with its recipe widely available; anyone who wants the recipe for the Spirit Essence Pill can easily obtain it.

As for the medicinal herbs needed for refining Spirit Essence Pill, they were just some ordinary herbs.

Of course, the "ordinary herbs" mentioned here refer to those in the planes of the heavens; the ordinary herbs in the planes of the heavens might not necessarily be found in the mundane planes.

"I’ve got to stay here for nearly a year..."

Back in Nine Nether County City, Wyatt glanced around with a somewhat dreamy gaze.

In a year, the "Sixteen Counties Martial Meet" held by King Cooper’s Mansion would commence.

Before that, he would join other under-a-hundred Golden Immortal powerhouses gathered by the County Governor’s Mansion, and head towards King Cooper’s Mansion.

And once he reached King Cooper’s Mansion, he didn’t plan to come back.

Whether it was the cultivation environment or resources, Nine Nether County couldn’t compare to King Cooper’s Mansion.

There, his cultivation could achieve a faster advancement.

Moreover, he also had a chance to obtain higher-grade cultivation techniques, such as the ’Profound Rank Techniques.’

"I should first find an herbal shop and buy some herbs."

With a flicker in his eyes, Wyatt followed his memories of wandering the Nine Nether County City with Ares Cooper, and headed to a rather large herbal shop in the city, stepping inside.

"Welcome, may I help you with something?"

As soon as Wyatt walked in, a servant approached respectfully, ushering him inside.

"Give me a batch of herbs for refining the low-grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill.’"

Wyatt gave the servant a glance and said flatly.

"How much do you need, sir?"

The servant’s eyes suddenly lit up, knowing that usually, people who come to buy herbs are primarily purchasing a single type of herb or a few specific ones to absorb the medicinal power in the most primitive way.

It was rare for someone to buy herbs for alchemy.

Because only alchemist masters could refine pills.

And even among the entire Nine Nether County, the known alchemist masters were only found in the County Governor’s Mansion, and one notable family within Nine Nether County City had a ’low-grade alchemist master.’

The County Governor’s Mansion had two low-grade alchemist masters.

The other family had one low-grade alchemist master.

Now, the servant almost regarded the young man in purple before him as someone from the latter family.

Because if the alchemist masters from the County Governor’s Mansion needed herbs, they would usually just send someone from the mansion to say a word, and the store would send the herbs directly to the mansion - there was no need for anyone to come to the herbal shop themselves.

"As many as you have."

Faced with the servant’s inquiry, Wyatt furrowed his brows slightly but ultimately responded like this.

After all, this was his first attempt at alchemy since arriving in the planes of the heavens.

Moreover, he still doesn’t know if the part of the grey flame he can use now can successfully complete the alchemy. It’s always good to prepare more materials, just in case.

With his current ’fortunes’, buying out all the materials for refining the low-grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill’ in this apothecary is no big deal.

"Hiss—"

Almost as soon as Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, the servant standing in front of him couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Immediately following, he asked Wyatt Barnes with evident surprise, "This guest... are you... are you serious?"

One must know, their apothecary, though not the largest in the entire Nine Nether County City, is not small either. The materials for refining low-grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill’ in their apothecary are not something ordinary people can afford.

"Of course it’s true, go prepare quickly."

Noticing the servant’s doubt, Wyatt Barnes said impatiently.

"Hmph! Such arrogance!"

Just as the servant saw Wyatt Barnes’s impatience and was about to fetch the materials, a cold snort, accompanied by a sneer, came from outside the apothecary’s entrance and drew closer.

A medium-built young man with a frivolous step, dressed in luxurious clothes, slowly walked into the apothecary.

Following behind this richly-dressed young man was an expressionless old man.

"Young Master Mullins!"

Seeing the newcomer, the servant’s eyes lit up instantly.

This richly dressed young man, he recognized as Anders Mullins, the sole son of the contemporary head of the Mullins Family, one of the few families in the county city aside from the County Governor’s Mansion that has a ’low-grade Alchemy Immortal Master’ as an offering!

"I want ten sets of materials for refining the low-grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill.’"

After entering, Anders Mullins never glanced at Wyatt Barnes, and simply looked at the servant, speaking indifferently.

"Young Master Mullins."

Hearing Anders Mullins’s words, the servant smiled wryly and looked at Wyatt Barnes, "The materials for refining the low-grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill’ in our shop have just been bought out by this guest... He should be someone from your Mullins Family, right?"

Until now, the servant still believed Wyatt Barnes was someone from the Mullins Family.

After all, in the Nine Nether County City, aside from the County Governor’s Mansion, only the Mullins Family has a ’low-grade Alchemy Immortal Master.’

"You... dare to impersonate someone from our Mullins Family?"

Almost as the servant finished speaking, Anders Mullins’s gaze turned sharp as lightning toward Wyatt Barnes, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light as if it could transform into a venomous snake at any moment, ready to strike Wyatt Barnes.

"Mullins Family?"

Hearing Anders Mullins’s words, Wyatt Barnes, a bit confused, said lightly, "Sorry... never heard of it."

After saying that, ignoring the rising anger in Anders Mullins’s eyes, Wyatt Barnes looked at the servant, increasingly impatient, "Why aren’t you preparing yet? If you still don’t prepare, I’ll just go to another store to buy. In Nine Nether County City, it’s not just your shop that has materials for the Spirit Essence Pill."

At this moment, if the servant still couldn’t see that the purple-clad youth in front of him wasn’t from the Mullins Family, he might as well go bang his head against the wall.

"Sorry, guest, I will go immediately, right away..."

The servant, while dealing with Wyatt Barnes, looked at Anders Mullins apologetically, "Young Master Mullins, I’m sorry, I misunderstood... This guest never claimed to be from the Mullins Family. I subconsciously thought he was because he wanted to buy materials to refine the Spirit Essence Pill."

After speaking, the servant hurried to the back hall storage of the apothecary to prepare the materials Wyatt Barnes requested.

"Young Master Mullins... sorry, the materials for the Spirit Essence Pill in our shop have already been bought out by this guest. Please look elsewhere."

Before entering the back hall storage, the servant left these words.

Although in the servant’s eyes, Anders Mullins had an extraordinary status.

However, the backing of their apothecary was another prestigious family in Nine Nether County City that could rival the Mullins Family, so they didn’t fear the Mullins Family behind Anders Mullins.

To him, making money was the priority.

Anders Mullins wanted only ten sets of materials for the Spirit Essence Pill.

Whereas Wyatt Barnes wanted to buy out all the Spirit Essence Pill materials in their shop.

Their shop had over three hundred sets of materials for refining the Spirit Essence Pill.

Plus, Wyatt Barnes came first.

Who to do business with, he had his own choice.

Swish!

Hearing the servant’s words, Anders Mullins’s face immediately darkened.

Although the servant was like an ant in his eyes.

However, the servant was after all someone from this apothecary, and the backing of this apothecary was not someone he could easily provoke.

So, in this apothecary, as long as the servant didn’t intentionally offend him, he truly dared not do anything to the servant...

After all, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner!

"Kid... did you just say you’ve never heard of our Mullins Family?"

Anders Mullins, with all his rage, focused entirely on Wyatt Barnes, "Should I consider your previous words... as an affront to the dignity of our Mullins Family?"
