Sui Xiong shook his head again as he watched the two legendary mages leave with the teleportation magic. He continued to lie down and pretend to be asleep.
This time, he really intended to sleep.
But he could sleep, but the news would not. On the contrary, the news spread quickly as if it had wings. Within a day or two, it had spread everywhere.
The two old farts of the Mifata Federation, who cared about nothing but prolonging their lives, actually got the flesh and blood of the True Gods from His Majesty the Void Mask and were making the Wine of Immortality!
This news was amazing, especially the Wine of Immortality, which shocked many people who knew about it. Many people had fire in their eyes and wanted to get their hands on it.
They could not be blamed for being greedy. The Wine of Immortality was a legendary divine item. Although it could not give power, it could give mortals eternal life like a demigod. There were many powerful, rich, and powerful people in the world, but how many of them could live forever?
The only way for mortals to live forever was to become a demigod. There were all kinds of problems with immortality obtained by other means. But unless there was a god to guide them, there might not even be one demigod in the whole Main Plane in a thousand years!
The immortality brought by the Wine of Immortality was naturally not perfect. It was said that there were some side effects. But in any case, immortality was immortality. Even if there were side effects, it was better to be alive than dead!
In particular, many of the big shots were already very old, and many of them were not far from death. Some of them felt that they had experienced everything in their lives and tried all kinds of enjoyment in their lives. They had also reserved their seats in the God Kingdom, so they were not afraid of death. But more people either wanted to continue to enjoy life in the human world, or they had important unfulfilled wishes. So they were reluctant to die.
But no matter how reluctant they were to die, they still had to die when it was time to die.
But in front of them, there was a chance for them not to die!
So in just two or three days, thousands of people poured into the Highest Tower. Some of them were messengers who came on behalf of their masters, some were spies who had been ordered to sneak in, and some were simply impatient big shots themselves.
They either had deep connections or were highly skilled. It did not take them much effort to find out the exact whereabouts of the two lucky legendary mages.
Then, they were dumbfounded.
These two Legendary Masters had now rented the secret chamber at the lowest level of the Highest Tower, and they had completely locked the secret chamber. They shut themselves in there and focused on concocting elixirs.
Before they went in, they even said that they would either come out after drinking the Wine of Immortality or die inside. There was no third outcome.
What … what should they do?!
The secret chamber at the bottom of the Highest Tower could be said to be the safest place in the entire Mifata Federation. Back then, the Demigod Master Ymir Lamperus had been in retreat for hundreds of years, honing his divinity and adjusting his soul. Finally, he was apotheosized and became the Great God of Spellcasters in one fell swoop. It was in this secret chamber.
At that time, there were six Legendary-level Masters guarding outside the secret chamber all year round. However, in reality, even if there were any powerhouses who could break through the obstruction of the six Legendary-mages, they would not be able to easily break into that secret chamber.
It was said that the materials used to build this secret chamber were peerless treasures that Master Lamperus spent countless efforts and time to find when he went to other levels of the Ring of the World. It was unknown how much effort and precious materials were used to build this secret room. Its sturdiness was beyond imagination. Not to mention mere mortals, even if a True God came to the mortal world, he would not be able to break it in a short period of time.
This secret chamber was so sturdy and had such a great background. Of course, it was not something that ordinary people could use. However, those two Legendary-level Masters were from the same generation as Master Lamperus. Now, the leaders of the Mifata Federation were more or less their juniors. After they received the Divine Blood from Sui Xiong, they immediately returned to the Federation and shamelessly asked to borrow the secret chamber. The leaders could not stop them.
When they came back to their senses, it was too late to stop them.
"Is there really no other way?" After knowing the details, a Legendary-level Master who had a good relationship with the Mifata Federation could not help but ask, "I just want to say a few words to them. Just a few words! Is there no magic array to contact the inside of the secret chamber? "
The Legendary-level Master who told him the news smiled bitterly. "After they went in, they explained some things to us and then destroyed the communication array …"
That Legendary-level Master was stunned and could not help but ask loudly, "Didn't you say that the secret chamber was very sturdy? Why was it so easy to destroy the communication array inside? "
"… That communication array was built by the two of them in the past."
That Legendary-level Master was dumbfounded. Only then did he remember that the two old men hiding in the secret chamber were even older than the Mifata Federation.
Old people were shrewd and cunning. If they did not die, they would be thieves. Don't be fooled by their honesty in front of Sui Xiong. In fact, they were very shrewd!
Why did they have to be so thick-skinned to borrow that secret chamber? Wasn't it because the secret chamber had been set up by them in the past?
It was probably a pleasant surprise that the arrangements left behind thousands of years ago could still be used now.
Seeing that things could not be salvaged, people from all walks of life gave up. Most of them grumbled and went back to their own homes. Only some refused to give up and stayed in the Highest Tower. They were ready to wait for the two Legendary-level Masters to come out and ask them if they had any extra Wine of Immortality. Even if the amount was not enough and they could not live forever, it would be good to live for another thousand or eight hundred years!
Even in the worst case scenario, where the two masters drank all the Wine of Immortality without leaving a single drop, at least there would still be the formula and some leftover materials. Even if they could not find the living blood of the real Wine of Immortality and there was no way to concoct the authentic Wine of Immortality, they would be able to make some imitations by slowly exploring on their own.
If the real Wine of Immortality could make people immortal, the imitations should at least be elixirs that could prolong one's life.
As for what kind of price they would pay in the process of research and imitation, and how many innocent people would be sacrificed, it was not within the consideration of these big shots.
Most of these news were known by Sui Xiong.
In fact, he had directly sent out a doppelganger to take on the appearance of a human and sneak into the Highest Tower.
Relying on the investigation of the doppelganger, as well as the information collected through official channels and the Adventurers Association, he had more or less understood what had happened in the past few days.
Perhaps there were some particularly secretive things that he did not know, but it did not matter. Knowing most of it was enough.
All in all, the development of things could be considered to be within his expectations.
"Haha, it feels so good to have everything under control!" Sui Xiong lay on the mountainside and pretended to be sound asleep, but he was laughing in his heart. "When they come out of isolation, I can go to them, pretend to be very angry, and blackmail the Mifata Federation and the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs!"
"This group of people who think they are clever, do they really think that I don't know where that formula came from!"
