Looking at Mo Ling beside him, Napier smiled bitterly as he walked out of the shop. "I'm sorry to have implicated you. Why don't you go back to the New Holy Battle Team? I'm the one they're unhappy with. I can't control my mouth. It's better if you don't talk."
Mo Ling shook his head. The stabilizing force of the Heaven's Fate Team had matured a lot. "It's not suitable for us. Although it's a little difficult, we have plenty of time. The most important thing to survive is to have a sense of self."
"Sigh, if only Captain was here." Napier Mo couldn't help but sigh. They weren't afraid of trouble, but they weren't people who could raise a flag. "Captain said that we can look for Wang Zhong if there's anything. He's reliable, but Wang Zhong can't even protect himself. Sigh …"
"I know, right?"
"Captain can also make mistakes sometimes. The key is, when did Wang Zhong become so cowardly?" Napier was helpless.
"Haha, cowardly can't be judged on the surface. Napier, long time no see, Mo Ling," Wang Zhong said with a smile.
The two of them turned around vigilantly. It was actually Wang Zhong. This was a little awkward.
"Mo Wen thinks so highly of me. How can I disappoint him? I have a plan now. Join the Wanderlust Team. The entry fee is 1,000 Holy Coins, paid in full. Are you interested?"
"Huh …" Napier and Mo Ling both opened their mouths wide and looked at Wang Zhong as if they were looking at a madman.
1,000? Holy Coins?
For a newcomer, 1,000 Holy Coins was definitely an astronomical number. Was this team crazy?
Napier and Mo Ling looked at each other. It was obvious that Wang Zhong wasn't joking. "We'll join!"
"What is Mo Wen doing? Isn't he coming to the Holy Land?" Wang Zhong asked with a smile. Both of them were men of action and wouldn't say much.
"We don't have any more news. It seems that he has arrived in the Fifth Dimension, but we don't know exactly where he is," Mo Ling said.
"I'm really looking forward to it." With a smile, Wang Zhong shook his head. He admired Mo Wen's choice, and was able to understand that this was a form of tempering for himself. Clearly, Mo Wen belonged to the category of geniuses that wanted to walk ahead of everyone else. However, this path might not be suitable for everyone.
Napier looked at Wang Zhong, who had a calm expression. "Is your Dharma Idol really that weak? We don't believe it. "
Wang Zhong smiled. "That's not important. Even if we reach the Holy Land, we shouldn't lose ourselves. Mo Wen is doing this, and we should do the same. Look at you now. Do you still look like Napier Mo? We can't be carried away by someone else's rhythm. "
He sized up Napier's attire. Ever since he came to the Holy City, he didn't seem to be wearing his signature clown costume anymore. From the last time he was in the Dimensional Hostel to now, he was always dressed formally.
There was no such thing.
Napier and Mo Ling could feel that no matter how others saw, thought, or set rules, Wang Zhong and Mo Wen were people who could stick to their own principles. Mo Wen might have known about the situation in the Holy Land, so he chose his own cultivation method, while Wang Zhong used another method.
Perhaps no one would care about the condition of a 'trash'.
But was he really a cripple? At the very least, Napier and Mo Ling felt that it was impossible for a piece of trash to take out a thousand Holy Coins so easily.
"Don't mention it. I'm already starting to miss my red nose." Napier smiled bitterly. When he was on Earth, he could still talk about his personality, but in the Holy City, there were rules and restrictions everywhere. Some of the higher-ups in the Mo Family paid particular attention to the image of their family members in the Holy City. It was already not easy to survive in the Holy City, so how could there be room for one's personality? Perhaps only when one let go of all the pressure, or when one was strong enough to ignore these rules and regulations, would there be a chance for one to be himself again.
"Join the Wanderlust Team, and you will gain freedom. This is a good family, and you can come and go freely. You don't need to have any burdens. I think we are friends, right?" Wang Zhong said.
For the first time in a long time, Napier Mo and Mo Ling smiled knowingly. Yes, they were friends!
Wang Zhong felt that he was becoming more like a pimp recently. It had only been less than a month since he joined the Wanderlust Team. First, he had pulled in Grai, Sharmie, and Mario. Now, he had pulled in two more. The Wanderlust Team only had a total of nine people, but he had expanded the team by two-thirds in just half a month. Naturally, introducing Napier and Mo Ling to the team was very smooth. The Wanderlust Team did not reject anyone that Wang Zhong introduced. Firstly, it was because they trusted and valued Wang Zhong. Secondly, it was because Grai, Sharmie, and Mario had performed really well in the past half a month.
The Wanderlust Team recognized its members differently from other exploration teams. In other exploration teams, in order to gain the approval of senior members, you either had to be very powerful or have a strong background, or you had to be very obedient. However, it was the opposite in the Wanderlust Team. They hated those who put on airs the most. The more powerful one was, the rarer they were. In the eyes of the members of the Wanderlust Team, there might be a difference in strength, but the most important thing was that they were like-minded and could form a team.
The speed at which the two of them integrated into the team was rather fast. Mo Ling was the type to do things with his head down and was very reliable. On the other hand, Napier, who had a lively personality, was more popular.
The top ten theoretical experts in the Mystic Sect were definitely not ordinary people. As a newcomer in the Mystic Sect, Napier had long heard of the famous' Feng '. This senior sister's soul power was not particularly outstanding in the Mystic Sect, but her knowledge of theories was quite extensive. It was said that she had even challenged a teacher before. Of course, the outcome was definitely not good.
In the Wanderlust Team, there were not as many rules as in the Holy Land. Not everything depended on friendship and transactions, and everyone could speak their minds freely. Newcomers like Napier could ask any questions they had. No one knew how to pretend to be experts, but they would definitely tell them what they knew. In fact, Napier did not need a high-level soul tool like the Dreamland Bell in the early stages. Furthermore, it was better for him to use soul tools as late as possible. Unless he was a professional alchemist, he should focus on his own pursuit and understanding of power.
As for actual combat, as long as he had a suitable soul tool, his power would immediately multiply. Generally speaking, people in the Holy Land would start to focus on soul tools from the Middle Phase of the Heroic Soul Stage.
Feng's guidance made Napier feel like he was suddenly enlightened. He had improved the fastest among this batch of newcomers in the Holy City, and he was about to break through to the Initial Phase of the Heroic Soul Stage. Napier was a little anxious for quick results. After hearing Feng's advice, Napier decided to properly understand his own soul perception.
Wang Zhong becoming the vice-captain of the Wanderlust Team did not attract much attention. In this world that valued potential and status, it was only a matter of an instant for one to vanish into the crowd. Furthermore, Wang Zhong was not the first, nor would he be the last. Instead, there was news from the Mystic Sect that the first newcomer to break through to the Middle Phase of the Heroic Soul Stage was Carolyn.
What was very surprising was that it wasn't Scarlet, who had been accepted as a personal disciple, nor was it Solomon. Furthermore, unlike Napier, who had blindly pursued the advancement of his realm, Carolyn's breakthrough seemed to have come naturally with the guidance of many seniors in her family. The Great Teacher, who had only been observing her, had immediately accepted her as a personal disciple. This had unknowingly widened the gap between her and the other level 2 acolytes.
She had the full support of her family, a high-grade soul tool, the first Middle Phase of the Heroic Soul Stage, and a Direct Disciple … No matter which one it was, it was something that others could only dream of.
The two of them often went to some public events together, and they were secretly regarded as the golden couple among the newcomers. In addition, Scarlet had not returned for a long time, so Carolyn and Solomon had attracted the attention of everyone in the Holy City who was paying attention to the apprentices. The newcomer circle was filled with all kinds of news about Carolyn and Solomon. For the absolute kings of the younger generation, both Holy Disciples and Teachers would give them a certain 'favor'. This was because everyone would be living in the Holy Land for a very, very long time. Today's newcomers might become people that they could only look up to in a few years. There was no need to curry favor with them, and obviously, there was no need to offend them. It was common in the Holy Land to settle scores with them.
While others were enjoying limitless glory, Wang Zhong was busy with his alchemy career.
Glazed Crystal, to put it bluntly, was a crystal-like mineral found in the Dimensional World. Due to its ability to see through Soul Power, it was widely used to make all kinds of auxiliary tools. It was one of the most common and practical materials in the Holy Land. Refining Glazed Crystal was basically an introductory course for alchemy apprentices. During the refining process, it could test one's understanding of Soul Power and control of fire. In the Holy Land, auxiliary professions were also helpful to combat professions. The key was how practitioners viewed their own training.
The strong could learn everything invisibly, while the weak could only see the goal and ignore the essence of the process.
Wang Zhong originally planned to buy a set of alchemy equipment in his dormitory because Simba was too bored. In addition, he had promised Simba in the secret realm that he would let Simba out as long as there was a chance, so he wanted to refine with Simba. But in fact, this idea was too naive. His small dormitory could not even contain a furnace, let alone a complete set of alchemy equipment. Besides, he did not have enough money at all.
Wang Zhong decided to rent an alchemy room. He first prepared to go to the alchemy room in the Tyrants, but as a newcomer, he was not qualified to use the alchemy room. Although there were many alchemy workshops in the Tyrants, there were more Holy Disciples and alchemists. A lot of people were waiting, and there was no place for newcomers in terms of seniority.
In the Holy Land, the good places were all private. Whether it was an alchemy workshop, a gourmet restaurant, or other aspects, as long as it was provided by the Holy Land itself, most of it was basic or entry-level, and resources were scarce. Especially good places, such as the library, undoubtedly had good things, but one could rest assured that the price would be even higher.
Under normal circumstances, private workshops would only look at the price, but they would not be open to newcomers too much. This was mainly because of past habits. Most newcomers were incompetent, and they were generally very destructive. Once they broke any tools, they would not be able to pay for it even if they sold their bodies.
Over time, it became an unwritten rule in the Holy City not to rent alchemy rooms to newcomers. Unless they were taught by someone, or practiced under the guidance of a teacher in their respective school, newcomers would not have the opportunity to actually come into contact with alchemy, let alone rent an alchemy room to fool around.
Wang Zhong had asked several houses before, but they either ignored him or demanded an exorbitant price. The rental fee was seven to eight hundred Holy Coins, and one was even more exaggerated. He actually asked for a thousand Holy Coins, and he even asked for a mortgage of three thousand Holy Coins. Mortgage my ass!
Simba really wanted to grab a handful of mud from the ground and slap it on his face. Even robbing a bank wouldn't earn as much as you!
Murphy's Private Alchemy Workshop.
The name sounded grand, and the layout was completely different from other places. Murphy was definitely one of the most famous Masters in the Holy Land, and he was also a super-rich man. Even Great Teachers had to show some respect to him. It was not because of his high combat power, but because he was the representative of the Holy Land in terms of alchemy. From the treasured weapons used by Sacred Teachers to the soul tools used by ordinary Holy Disciples, he had everything. The Hand Cannon that the Wanderlust Team bought with a lot of money was one of his works. To be precise, it was his mass-produced work. He was in charge of the design, and the production was done by his apprentices.
There were not many things that were qualified for him to work on. In the Holy Land, Alchemy Masters and Soul Gourmets were highly regarded, and no one was willing to provoke such existences. Their relationships were complicated, and it could be said that they were deeply rooted in the Holy City.
Wang Zhong really had no choice. Other small workshops were short of resources, so he might be able to try his luck in such a large workshop.
"Let's try this one."
"Look at the decoration. It's better than the few workshops we went to before." Simba felt that it was unreliable. "I think it's definitely worse!"
"There's no other choice. Let's try my luck." Wang Zhong didn't really care. To be honest, his greatest interest and goal now was to transform his cells with Soul Power. Everything he learned revolved around this, and the actions of the exploration team came second. He wanted to get started during this' quiet period 'as much as possible.
Wang Zhong knew his own situation. He would get into trouble sooner or later. He didn't know why that Great Teacher from the Tyrants gave him the treatment of a second-class apprentice, but he had to admit that he had helped a lot. Wang Zhong didn't think that anyone knew his strength, whether it was in terms of life or status. The only people he knew in the Holy Land were Uncle Zhang from the Heavenly Lake and Teacher Lan Daier.
Uncle Zhang's strength was probably at the Heavenly Soul Stage, but he obviously failed to break through the bottleneck and was unwilling to return to Earth. Although his status was greatly reduced, he still had some old connections in the Holy Land. It was easy for him to take care of an apprentice like Wang Zhong. To be honest, unless it was absolutely necessary, Wang Zhong really didn't want to trouble him. It seemed that he had to prepare more wine.
There were many people coming and going in the workshop hall, which was completely different from the situation in other workshops. The Holy Disciples here all had a kind of arrogant temperament, and they indeed represented the best alchemists in the Holy Land. Those who could become disciples of the Murphy Workshop were all outstanding alchemists. Of course, before they graduated, they had to completely serve their master and sign a Holy Land contract. This was a very reliable contract to serve the Holy Land, at least much more reliable than the one in the Federation. The Holy Land was the guardian of the contract.
