George was crouching next to the cyan light curtain, one hand pressed against the light curtain, not saying anything. Max secretly glared at George, but didn't say anything. He turned to Lin Yun and squeezed out an unsightly smile.
"Lord Merlin, do you still have that potion …"
"No."
Max didn't get to finish his words before Lin Yun interrupted him. Max almost choked to death. His eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything and kept squeezing out a smile.
"Lord Merlin, I've long heard that your alchemy skills are very formidable and can be considered a first-rate Artisan. Just now, I saw your potion refining skills. I'm afraid you already have one foot on the threshold of the Saint Alchemy realm.
"Can you refine another bottle of that potion? Whatever price you want, please state it, I definitely won't haggle. If you can develop that potion, I can represent the Crown of Thorns to purchase a large amount from you. We can directly sign a contract … "
Max lowered himself very much, and his crystalline eyes were a little red. This was a medicine that could stabilize the unstable bloodline in their bodies. Furthermore, the effect of the medicine that Idu had just taken could be said to be frighteningly good. In less than three seconds, it took effect. After taking it for a few minutes, the bloodline that had already started to boil did not seem to be making a fuss at all …
This effect would definitely make the eyes of any Warlock or mage transplanted with a foreign lifeform's bloodline turn red. Regardless of the price, they would still want to get that potion.
If not for the obvious dangers outside and the unknown dangers lurking in the shadows, and the fact that they couldn't defeat them, they would have no choice but to lower their stance and beg.
Let alone that potion, the stench emitted was even more disgusting than the stench of sewer water. Even if it was dog shit, as long as it was useful, these guys would definitely swallow it with honey.
For the sake of power, they could transplant the bloodline of other lifeforms and make themselves look neither human nor ghost. What kind of cadres would come out?
Max lowered his stance and begged, and Lin Yun 'stiff expression slightly relaxed. Seeing the look of anticipation on Max's face, as well as the fanaticism on the faces of the other Warlocks, Lin Yun softly sighed.
"Sir Max, to be honest, I don't lack money. I can get whatever I want myself. This isn't a problem of price …
The main problem was that this kind of medicine was too difficult to refine. At the very least, one had to be at the peak of the Artisan realm to come into contact with it. The time needed to refine it was very short, and if one exceeded the time limit, the refinement would fail.
"Only alchemists that have surpassed the peak of the Artisan realm and are already on the path to the Saint Alchemy realm, as well as researching bloodline transplants, can successfully refine it. I only succeeded by luck.
But the effect of this potion isn't as good as you think. After half an hour to an hour, the effect of the potion will slowly dissipate. Besides, it's only a little useful for Sir George's situation. It's not very useful for combat power or research … "
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Max remained calm and collected. The surrounding mages also didn't feel disappointed. Having the ability to stabilize bloodlines was enough. All the mages transplanted with the bloodline of a variant lifeform would more or less have flaws related to the instability of their bloodline.
Even if it was only for an hour, or even half an hour, it was the difference between life and death.
No matter how many flaws this potion had, it was equivalent to a Heaven Grade Potion to these people, and it was the same for Archmages.
Lin Yun had already done his best to degrade this potion, creating a large number of flaws, but he hadn't expected that these people wouldn't be disappointed despite all these flaws and the stench of the sewers. Instead, they felt that this kind of potion was better.
'Could it be that the situation of these guys has already reached such a terrible state? 'This kind of simple and crude Bloodline Stabilizing Potion can at most be considered a failed product, yet they feel that this is a very powerful potion?
How did these fellows survive until now? Could it be that every one of them has the weakness of an unstable bloodline? Damn it, their skills are even worse than I thought. They are actually still in the early stages of development, where we can see the crude bloodline transplants …
'Those guys in the Crown of Thorns with xenogeneic blood transplants might have died because of their bloodlines, right?'
Lin Yun regretted not describing the potion as worse, even if the effects he described weren't even 1% of the bloodline stabilizing potion.
"Sir Merlin, it doesn't matter. Research is always immature. Your research regarding bloodline transplants definitely far surpasses mine. This kind of powerful potion is definitely a milestone in the history of bloodline transplants. This is a great achievement, you are too modest …" Sir Merlin, there is no need to worry.
"I'm afraid that only you can personally refine this kind of potion. I represent the Crown of Thorns to purchase a batch of this era-transcending potion from you at the price of a Heaven Grade Potion. How about it?"
Max didn't seem to care at all. He was still thinking of ways to get that potion from Lin Yun, even offering the price of a Heaven Grade Potion.
Max's crystal eyes were filled with fanaticism and excitement. His expression looked normal, but his fingers were about to break from his excitement.
'Is a Heaven Grade Potion very expensive? 'An Inferior Heaven Grade Potion might cost a few hundred thousand to a few million purple golds. As long as we have this era-transcending potion, our research can continue. The Crown of Thorns wouldn't even need to hide anymore. With the stability of the bloodline transplants, we would be able to display our strongest fighting strength at any time. At that time, we would be able to walk out of the darkness and truly start the Crown of Thorns.
'Spending some purple golds for this potion is nothing. As long as we can make Mafa Merlin sign a contract and trade with us, any price is worth it.
'The Crown of Thorns would no longer have any mages fall every year due to bloodline instability. If we had obtained this potion earlier, our Crown of Thorns would have had over a hundred Heaven Rank powerhouses.
Max was persuading Lin Yun while the surrounding Warlocks and Bloodline Transplants were anxiously looking at him. Sunny was hiding in the back of the crowd, silently looking at Lin Yun. No one knew what she was thinking. Shelton had a fanatical smile on his face as he looked at Lin Yun. It looked like he would react if Lin Yun didn't agree.
Expectation could be seen on Max's face, and his attitude was very humble. He was a 5th Rank Heaven powerhouse, but he was speaking respectfully to Lin Yun. This was already a very humble attitude.
Lin Yun seemed moved, but helplessness could be seen on his face.
"Sir Max, alright, I originally didn't want to say it, but since it's like this, I'll just say it. The biggest problem with this potion is that I don't have the materials.
"If I had the materials, although the refining would be more difficult and the success rate would be very low, I could always give it a try. But now, I don't have the materials. That was the last bit of material I used for research. If it wasn't for the critical situation, I wouldn't have taken it out. I'm lucky this time and successfully refining it …"
Lin Yun helplessly explained, leaving Max dumbfounded.
"No materials? What materials are you lacking? You can tell me, I have a lot of potion materials here … "
Surprise and joy could be seen on Lin Yun 'face, as if he was happy that he had regained what he had lost.
"Oh? It would be great if there were. As long as I have the materials, I could try refining it.
Mandala Flower, Cat Face Grass Root, Young Card Beast's Liver … "
Lin Yun rapidly listed a few materials, but when he heard the names of these materials, Max felt as if his head had been kicked by a Pig Beastman. Apart from the first one he had seen and the second one he had vaguely heard of, he had never heard of the rest.
Frustration could be seen in Max's eyes. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
'What else can I do? I don't have the materials. As long as you have the materials, I can refine it on the spot, but without the materials, even a Saint Alchemist can only stare helplessly.'
It wasn't just Max who was a bit frustrated, the others were also disappointed. They saw hope, but it turned into despair. Everyone's mood wasn't too good.
Max didn't say anything, but Shelton, who had been waiting, sneered.
"Mafa Merlin, are you joking? Even the erudite Sir Max hasn't heard of these materials. How did you get these materials?
"Moreover, you just happened to have the last set of materials, and you were lucky enough to successfully refine it. If you don't want to make a deal with our Crown of Thorns and look down on us, then you can directly say it. We don't care. Or, are you just fooling us like pigs in order to obtain more benefits?"
Lin Yun 'expression turned cold when Shelton's mocking words appeared. Max's expression also slightly changed, and the expressions of the other Warlocks with Bloodline Transplants also became strange.
Shelton walked forward and looked at Lin Yun with a sinister expression.
"Mafa Merlin, you'd best obediently sign this contract. You might even be able to get some purple coins, or you'll learn how foolish it was to provoke the Crown of Thorns!"
Lin Yun indifferently glanced at Shelton before turning to look at Max.
"I originally had a pretty good conversation with Sir Max. There are some things I don't want to say, but since you want to know, why bother asking me? You might know it better than I do.
"The Gilded Rose's material suppliers, big and small, have already severed their partnership with the Gilded Rose. Some of them would rather pay a huge penalty to the Gilded Rose, and they would rather lose a dozen years of profits than cooperate with the Gilded Rose.
"As for why, I believe you know it better than I do. In order to make these material suppliers not cooperate with the Gilded Rose, one of the Patriarchs of the Magic Plant Family was assassinated, and the others were also threatened with death." For some reason, the Patriarch suddenly changed his attitude and disregarded the Family's opposition, insisting on unilaterally severing their partnership with the Gilded Rose.
"The most important material needed to refine that kind of potion, the Patriarch of the Family that could obtain it has already been killed by someone. There's nothing else. The Gilded Rose's ordinary materials are already very scarce, and these strange materials are even more impossible to obtain …"
After saying that, Lin Yun ignored Max. Max's expression was somewhat unsightly as he gloomily glanced at Sunny, who had been hiding in the back without saying a word.
Shelton's expression changed. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, not saying a word. Some of the smarter members of the Crown of Thorns also stole glances at Sunny discreetly.
Max was glaring at Shelton and Sunny with a dark expression.
'That idiot Shelton, I barely managed to improve my relationship with Mafa Merlin, and Mafa Merlin already had plans to reconcile, yet that idiot Shelton insisted on tearing up. Now, even if we had the materials, Mafa Merlin definitely wouldn't make those things.
'That kind of potion can only be used by people with powerful bloodlines. Others simply don't need it. Even without that kind of potion, Mafa Merlin wouldn't lack purple golds. With his alchemy abilities, anything he makes would be extremely profitable.
Sang Ni, that b * stard. Ever since she and Amy were in charge of the Rose Circle, problems kept popping up. Over the years, the Rose Circle had exposed itself countless times. If not for the headquarters helping to clean up the mess, the Rose Circle would have been completely exposed.
'Now, these two idiots actually dared to assassinate the Patriarch of a material supplier in order to deal with Mafa Merlin. Do they want to provoke the attack of all the forces?
'Are you satisfied now? The Gilded Rose's source of materials has been cut off, and even the Patriarch of the material supplier has died. Are the souls of the remaining people controlled by that idiot Amy? 'That damned guy thoroughly destroyed the hope of our Crown of Thorns!
'Do we have to go to the Undead Plane to look for that unlucky Patriarch's soul and find the source of the materials from his soul?'
Max's expression was unsightly, and the others of the Crown of Thorns weren't much better. After all, the Crown of Thorns had fused with the bloodlines of different lifeforms and managed to advance to the Heaven Rank. Everyone knew the names of those people. There were even some Heaven Mages who transplanted the bloodlines of other lifeforms at the Heaven Rank in order to obtain even more power, or to use this method to reach the true essence of magic.
What kind of power did each person have? Their trump cards might be hidden, but they probably had some kind of special power, and everyone knew each other …
Moreover, Sang Ni had already talked about her grievances with Lin Yun, but she hadn't mentioned many details. Now that Lin Yun had mentioned it, everyone immediately understood what was going on. Most of the people of the Crown of Thorns clearly knew how it had been done.
The members of the Crown of Thorns had destroyed the hope of the Crown of Thorns.
Shelton had a dark expression as he stood on the side, a thin layer of black smoke fiercely surging on the surface of his body. His breathing was like a bellow, and his black eyes were fiercely glaring at Sang Ni, as if he wanted to get rid of Sang Ni.
'I have to get that potion, but it's over now. Those two sluts, Sang Ni and Amy, ruined everything …
'If I had those potions, I would have been able to obtain more power, even more power than that old bastard Max. Now, I don't have it, just because of those two sluts, Sang Ni and Amy. They went crazy, but they wanted to harm my interests, preventing me from becoming stronger. I can't accept this …'
The inside of the stone wall became quiet in an instant, and only the breathing of the group could be heard.
Outside the cyan light curtain, the swarm of crazy giant worms seemed to have completely given up. They didn't find what they were looking for, so they left through a few passages. Inside the cave, there were only countless gravel and magic crystals that had been excavated. These magic crystals were like garbage that had been casually thrown there. These giant worms didn't seem to be interested in these magic crystals.
All the bugs disappeared, and after three minutes, Lin Yun nodded to George, who had been maintaining the cyan light curtain.
The light curtain dissipated, and the group walked out of the cramped small space. Max looked at Lin Yun's calm and seemingly emotionless face, and opened his mouth to say something, but Lin Yun spoke first.
"Your Excellency Max, there are more and more forks here. It might be dangerous for so many of us to gather together. Therefore, it's better to split up and explore. These tunnels might have been dug by those giant worms. The tunnels here are very complicated. It might be faster to split up and explore."
Max wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Without waiting for him to say anything, Lin Yun had already led his people to choose a path and left.
Max turned around with a dark face, and looked at Sang Ni gloomily. The frequent flashes of light in his crystal eyes let everyone know that Max was already in a state of rage …
"Sir Sang Ni, do you have anything to explain to me?"
Max's voice was very calm, but everyone could hear his rage. But this time, no one stood up for Sang Ni. Even Sheldon, who had been helping her before, stood at the side with a sneer, waiting quietly.
This guy could even sell his own soul for power. Someone had destroyed his way to become stronger, and destroyed his path forward. It was already very restrained that he didn't directly kill Sang Ni.
Sang Ni's face and body were shrouded in a layer of dark gray mist, and no one could see her expression. After waiting for a few seconds, Sang Ni explained bitterly.
"Sir Max, we didn't know about these things before …"
She raised her head and looked around. Everyone's eyes were filled with malice and strong dissatisfaction. Sang Ni didn't know what to say anymore. She just looked at the place where Lin Yun disappeared, her eyes burning with malice.
