Alchemy had a wide range of uses and could be used in various fields. To put it simply, the operation of the entire Holy City was almost inseparable from alchemy, from a small bottle containing potions to the defense system of the Holy Land. Even in the Holy Land, the operation mechanism of human nature was still in place.
Wang Zhong felt that this thing was quite interesting. His future cultivation in the Holy Land would definitely involve alchemy. He would either have to spend a lot of money to buy it, or he would have to know alchemy himself. He wanted to ponder over it, but Simba, who was in his Soul Sea, was completely subservient to it.
"What kind of lousy alchemy elemental table is this? Just over 7,000 elemental units?! " Simba's tone was scary at that time, and his expression was extremely excited. He looked like he was ready to show off. "A bunch of fools who have never seen the world! I'm not bragging, but the great Simba is qualified to be an alchemy Sacred Teacher in this lousy Holy Land! Wang Zhong, let me out. The light of the great Simba is definitely enough to shine on you! "
It would have been fine if he didn't say this, but Wang Zhong really didn't dare to let him out. It wasn't that the Holy Land couldn't accept alien races. There were many beings that looked weirder than Simba, but the problem was that after the Holy Land's inspection, Simba probably wasn't Simba. He wasn't completely doubting Simba's ability to brag. Even if what he said was true, Wang Zhong could guarantee that the Sacred Teachers in the Holy Land would capture him and Simba and cut them up into pieces the next day. In such a world ruled by absolute power, peace was only a facade. Wang Zhong didn't doubt that if necessary, this place could instantly become darker than the Federation.
It was better to keep a low profile when it came to this kind of thing. Today, he came here with the intention of buying a set of alchemy equipment, but unfortunately, after visiting several alchemy shops, the asking price of the most basic set of alchemy equipment was frighteningly high, costing thousands of Holy Coins. He really couldn't afford it, so he could only sigh helplessly. He heard that alchemy equipment could be rented in the Holy Land, such as places like the Alchemy Union. Wang Zhong decided to go there after he officially joined the Tyrants and let Simba show him his skills. What if what Simba said was true? Even if he didn't use it to make money, he would still need alchemy for his future cultivation.
They strolled along the way, and when the sky was about to turn dark, they had already reached the edge of the end of the district. The streets had already disappeared, and they were surrounded by a beautiful garden. There was a gravel path leading into the distance, and if they walked any further, they would reach the Great Teacher District, which was forbidden to enter.
Wang Zhong had seen this kind of garden isolation zone several times. Yesterday, when he was strolling in another direction, it was also arranged like this at the end of the path. It was a clear indication of the completely different status between a Holy Disciple and a Great Teacher.
There were very few pedestrians here. Although this was the road to the Great Teachers' district, the Great Teachers usually rode their mounts to travel high up in the sky. They wouldn't take these small roads directly. The apprentices wouldn't wander here for no reason.
From afar, he could see the forbidden zone over there. There was a blue runic energy shield that isolated the Great Teacher District and the Holy Disciple District. The runic energy shield was flashing with a light blue fluorescence. Usually, one wouldn't be able to see it if one didn't look carefully, but occasionally, when the wind blew on it, the entire energy shield would react to a certain extent, and some runes would appear and circulate within it.
Anything related to runes was Wang Zhong's favourite. Wang Zhong was rather interested in this mystical defensive barrier. Other than being able to see and recognize one's Skylink identity, one simply couldn't feel its existence. Yet, it was able to block out everything. Furthermore, it didn't allow one to feel the flow of energy. Despite being able to cover the entire acolyte region, the energy barrier didn't seem to be consumed at all. Frankly speaking, such runic technology was a little too shocking for Earthlings. Two nights ago, he specially went to the edge of the Apprentice District to study the energy shield there. Compared to the current energy shield in the Great Teacher District, it seemed to be completely different. It should be more powerful, so Wang Zhong was very curious.
He walked closer, wanting to take a look at the energy shield in the Great Teachers' area. However, when he was still a few hundred meters away from the edge of the energy shield, he suddenly felt as if his body had touched something. He felt as if he had come into contact with a layer of faint energy ripples in a space that was supposed to be empty. It was like a boundary. After passing through it and stepping into the boundary, what appeared in front of him was actually a small lake.
There was actually an invisible space here?
Wang Zhong was shocked. He took a step back, and the scenery in front of him changed back to the previous scene of the garden lawn. He took another step forward, and the scenery changed again. The lake appeared in front of him again.
He retreated again, disappeared again, moved forward again, and appeared again.
This was obviously a space that was shielded by some kind of illusory technique, but it was different from ordinary camouflage. Even if Wang Zhong used his Heart's Eye, which was said to be able to see through all illusions, he couldn't see through the abnormality of this space at all. One had to know that even before breaking through to the Heroic Soul Stage, as long as he activated his Heart's Eye, he could see through the illusion of the succubus. However, now that he knew that this place was set up, he still couldn't see through this mere camouflage.
Wang Zhong clicked his tongue in wonder. This was indeed the Holy Land. Even a small arrangement here could make people completely confused. There was indeed no end to learning.
He simply stepped into this space and saw the rippling sound of the lake in front of him. There was a light breeze around him, and it even brought a little warmth with it. The temperature was just right.
There were some large rocks by the lake, and an old man with messy hair was sitting on one of them, fishing leisurely. He had already sensed Wang Zhong the moment he walked in. From his clothes, Wang Zhong should be a student, but he was actually able to step into this space.
A look of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, but he quickly hid it. There were too many strange people and things in this world, and he was already used to it. In any case, this wasn't his private territory, so who came in had nothing to do with him.
"Hey!" He waved at Wang Zhong with interest. "Young man, are you lost?"
"Hello, Senior. Sorry, I hope I didn't disturb you," said Wang Zhong with a smile. He didn't seem to mind the place and walked over. "I think I'm lost."
The old man grabbed the fishing rod beside him and handed it over. "Do you know how to fish? I have a few types of fishing rods here. Do you want to try?"
"I really don't know how to fish."
"Damn." The old man glared at him. "Young people really don't have the mood."
Wang Zhong found it funny. There was actually such an interesting old man. It seemed like he was really angry. "I don't know how to fish, but I know how to roast fish."
"Tsk, who doesn't know how to roast fish!" The old man narrowed his eyes and wasn't very interested.
"My skills are not bad, and I have good wine. The wine is definitely good!" Wang Zhong didn't dare to brag. After all, the Holy Land had a Dimensional Gourmet profession, but Mu Zi's wine was definitely good stuff.
"Sounds good, but don't just say it." The old man didn't believe him and threw a fish basket over. "Show me your skills. If you do well, treat it as my treat, but if you don't do well, you have to compensate me with fish! "
"Are you going to be a judge yourself?"
"What are you talking about? You're so young, yet you're so petty. If you can really make good food, would I cheat you?"
"Ha." Wang Zhong laughed. "Then I'll show you my incompetence!"
It was obvious that the old man was a little lonely, and he was happy to have someone to talk to.
There were three fish in the fish basket, and they looked extremely strange. They had teeth in their mouths and two smooth little claws. Although they were small in size, they were extremely strong. Furthermore, they were extremely slippery. When Wang Zhong reached out to grab them, he almost jumped back into the lake due to a moment of carelessness.
"You haven't seen it before, right? Hinami, it's a third-rank dimensional beast. Be careful not to slip away. " The old man smiled and said, "Don't think that this is just a small lake. It's connected to the underground river under the Holy Land. It's very wide. It's not easy to catch these little things. I've been flirting with them and almost took off my pants. I only managed to catch three fish in a day. If I sell them in the market, they'll be worth at least a thousand Holy Coins each!"
Wang Zhong's face instantly turned black. "Are you trying to extort me? The barbecue stall sells Hinami for a thousand Federal Coins, but you're telling me that they're worth a thousand Holy Coins each? "
"Haha, you even know the price." The old man laughed. "Those barbecue stalls are bionic. How can they compare to the real ones here?"
"Are you going to deliberately say that they're not delicious and make me pay for them?"
"What are you talking about? Do I look like the kind of person who would extort people?" The old man said righteously. "It's immoral to slander the elderly. One must be kind!"
"But it's okay. My wine is definitely better than the fish," Wang Zhong said with a smile.
Wang Zhong's overconfident words made the old man look forward to it. Compared to chatting, he was obviously more interested in the so-called original grilled fish and kept urging Wang Zhong.
But when Wang Zhong really got started and the aroma of the fish wafted, the old man felt like he could only watch helplessly.
How should he put it? The aroma of the grilled fish could only be said to be passable, and the entire process and technique were quite rough. It could even be said to be a little careless. Although the old man didn't really know how to do it, his tongue and nose had long become intelligent. When the fish was cooked and handed to him, the old man only tasted a small piece, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Three good Hinami. They were fresh enough, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The grilling technique was also passable, but what about the taste? It was so bland in his mouth. The harvest that he had worked hard for the whole day was wasted. He actually believed a young kid's so-called original grilled fish.
The compensation was just a joke. Furthermore, looking at the poor appearance of this kid, he wouldn't be able to afford it even if he asked him to.
The old man instantly looked disgusted, distressed, and depressed. Wang Zhong chuckled and took out a small bottle of wine from the small backpack behind him and handed it over. "Senior, my grilled fish needs this wine for it to taste good."
The old man was skeptical. He took the wine bottle, pulled out the cork, and sniffed it. His eyes lit up, and he raised his head to take a big gulp.
The originally faint and ordinary fish flavor remained in his mouth, but at this moment, a spicy taste flowed down his throat. This spiciness had a strong compatibility, mixing with the originally tasteless fish fragrance in his throat. It actually combined the spiciness of the wine and the freshness of the fish, instantly presenting a feeling of harmony in his mouth. Not only did it erase some of the spiciness that choked his throat, but it also retained the stimulation and pleasure of the strong alcohol. Combined with the light fish flavor, the two simple tastes blended together as if they were made by heaven. It was simply too satisfying.
