"You don't need to guess anymore. On the seventh day, we encountered that terrifying strange fish. It was probably chasing after a Deep Sea Deinosuchus before appearing on the surface of the sea. Moreover, our luck wasn't very good. It just so happened to be near the battlefield. That Level 40 Deep Sea Deinosuchus was swallowed by that terrifying strange fish in two bites. Then, it swallowed our ship and killed everyone.
Only I, the Hurricane Mage, survived. I relied on the Hurricane Tornado to escape for more than a day, and that strange fish chased me for more than a day. What the hell, that idiot, why was he so stubborn? I didn't even have that much meat on me …
"My mana was already consumed, and even the potions to restore mana were used up. At the last moment, I remembered that I had a bottle of the Gilded Rose's Blue Devil Potion. I relied on that potion to escape."
"Blue Devil Potion? I seem to have heard of it, it's a potion from the Gilded Rose of Neverwinter City, but I heard that it hasn't been officially sold yet. How did you get it? Is the effect really as good as the rumors say? "
"Don't joke around, a potion to restore mana allowed you to escape from the mouth of that terrifying monster?"
Tom was enraged when he heard that the people around him did not believe him. He suddenly stood up straight and raised the medicine bottle in his hand. There was only a little bit of medicine left.
"What benefit would I get from lying to you? Damnit, you don't know, I had forgotten about it before, but at the last moment, when I was about to use a healing potion to restore my mana, I remembered the Blue Devil Potion.
I had only taken half a bottle and my magic power had recovered to 80% in three seconds. Moreover, it was still slowly recovering. It was only half a bottle, but the amount of magic power I had recovered exceeded the amount of magic power I had in my entire body.
Most importantly, it recovered 30% of my magic power in one second. In three seconds, it recovered 80% of my magic power. Damn it, this really saved my life. If it wasn't for this Blue Magic Potion, I probably would have died in half a day.
Thinking about it, it's really fate that I was lucky enough to obtain this Blue Devil Potion! "
Hearing Tom's words, the surrounding people were a bit stunned.
"It recovered 30% of your magic power in one second, and 80% in three seconds? Heavens, is there really such a potion? Damn it, this effect is even better than the rumors! "
"Half a bottle is enough for a 9th Rank Archmage like Tom to recover his mana, so wouldn't a bottle be useful for a Heaven Rank powerhouse? Could this Blue Devil Potion be the best true spirit potion? "
Suddenly, the pier became lively. The words "Blue Magic Potion" were constantly heard. Whether Tom was telling the truth or not, many people on the pier could testify. With Tom's strength, it was impossible for him to escape so far. He didn't have that much mana to squander.
Besides, no one would believe that the strange fish was there to help Tom advertise …
The remaining medicine bottles in Tom's hands were all bought at a high price for the little bit of Blue Devil Medicine left inside.
After this happened, it was quickly verified. Seven days after the ship set out, it was destroyed in a place thousands of nautical miles away. There were still some fragments left behind, drifting on the sea.
In the first few days of the sale, the effects of the Blue Devil Potion thoroughly spread. The Blue Devil Potion that had been given away as a lottery started being used one after another, and the results were all shocking. Especially the matter in the Endless Sea, it spread even more. A 9th Rank Archmage narrowly escaped from the jaws of a level 42 sea monster because of the Blue Devil Potion. This kind of thing could be considered a legendary story.
With these people trying it out, the Blue Devil Potion became popular before it even went on sale. Many forces wanted to sign a large-scale procurement contract with the Gilded Rose. After all, as long as it had this effect, everyone knew what it represented. It was simply a strategic potion, and it was the rarest kind.
After all, this was the initial phase of the Planar Colonization Era. In this era, Archmages were the main force when conquering planes. Heaven Rank powerhouses would only make a move at the most crucial time. Under normal circumstances, 95% of the time, the Archmages would be the main force in the conquest of a plane. Some planes wouldn't even need Heaven Rank powerhouses to make a move.
The Blue Devil Potion had the best effect on Archmages. Although Heaven Rank powerhouses could also use it, it would only be useful to those below the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm. Any stronger than that wouldn't have any effect.
This kind of thing, even if it wasn't usually used, it would still be good to store some. No force felt that having too much of this potion would be too troublesome. They all felt that the more, the better. It would be best to store enough Blue Devil Potions at all times.
It was precisely because this kind of thing's popularity far exceeded expectations that many people started having crooked ideas two days before it went on sale. The number of people sneaking around the Gilded Rose also increased.
Especially in many branches, many people found sneaky guys. Some forces' spies also started appearing in the surroundings of the Gilded Rose. The people of the major forces would also personally go to the Gilded Rose to negotiate with Faelor, hoping to get enough supplies. Some even started researching the Blue Devil Potion.
After all, the most important thing about potioneering was the technique. Reverse researching the finished potion had a high chance of success. The more powerful the alchemist, the higher the success rate of reverse researching the potioneering technique.
But this time, Lin Yun wasn't worried at all. Thus, Lin Yun didn't care about these things and instead went into the Starry Sky College's library to look for information.
As he became stronger and stronger, Lin Yun felt that even the records of the decaying library might not be completely correct. Apart from the knowledge related to magic and alchemy, the other records, biographies, information, historical events, many things might not be completely correct. After all, these things had been buried underground for countless years. Those crazy mages might not be able to deduce the complete event.
It might seem like a small difference a few dozen millennia later, but it was completely different in this era. A small deviation might lead to completely different results.
Especially the information he was looking for now. Only a few words would remain after a few dozen millennia. If he wanted to find the truth, he would have to search in this era.
Where had the 73rd God-Devil reincarnated to? Many of the phenomena and information recorded could only be recorded in this era. Let alone tens of thousands of years, even a thousand years later, these tiny clues would be completely lost.
There was also the construction of the Shelter Tower. Where could it be built? Where could the materials for the Shelter Tower be gathered? Where could some special races appear? Where could some of the materials be found? Which force was in control of the plane?
These things had to be found now, and they could only be solved here. This would speed up Noscent's development, and the time needed for the layout would be even shorter.
After all, it was already too late by the time the Shelter Tower was built. At that time, all of Noscent's power was exhausted, but the Shelter Tower was only a half-finished product.
Lin Yun didn't feel that it was too early to build a complete Shelter Tower ten millennia in advance. Moreover, as Noscent's magic civilization developed faster, the arrival of the apocalypse would inevitably accelerate as well. There simply wasn't enough time.
Thus, Lin Yun simply didn't care about the Gilded Rose's matters and instead left it to Faleau. Faleau wasn't worried that the Blue Devil Potion would be cracked or copied.
It wouldn't matter even if a formidable alchemist cracked the Blue Devil Potion's production technique. After all, the crafting technique of this potion wasn't particularly high. Potions that could be mass-produced weren't too difficult.
The Blue Devil Potion was an exception. There was no need to be afraid of cracking it, because compared to ordinary potions, alchemy techniques were the most important. But for the Blue Devil Potion, materials were the most important.
Without materials from the Monster Plane, even if the technique was given to a Saint Alchemist, they would only be able to watch helplessly.
The night before the Blue Devil Potion went on sale, someone cracked most of the alchemy techniques used in the Blue Devil Potion. Only a small portion of the alchemy techniques were taught by Lin Yun. But most of the techniques were useless. After cracking most of them, they could see that the materials were the most important. Without the large amount of mana contained within the materials, the Blue Devil Potion simply couldn't have such a powerful effect. Being able to reach a tenth of its effect was already the limit.
During the night, there were fewer people moving through Neverwinter City, but it was still bustling with noise and excitement. Many people started preparing to sneak into the Gilded Rose to look for the secret of the Blue Devil Potion.
As for the Gilded Rose's branch stores, they had already delivered the Blue Devil Potion in preparation for the official sale the next day. But that night, two of the Gilded Rose's branches were robbed. The newly allocated Blue Devil Potions were all stolen, and the ones who came to steal them were Heaven Rank powerhouses!
This kind of thing happened the night before the Blue Devil Potion's sale, and there was even a Heaven Rank powerhouse making a move. There was naturally no way to hide the news. The next day, the originally restless people had an idea. If others could succeed, why couldn't they?
After all, a bottle of Blue Devil Potion was sold for 180,000 purple golds! This was a consumable that would disappear after one use. It wasn't like Magic Tools that could be used all the time if they were a bit more expensive.
A bottle of True Spirit Potion was sold for 180,000 purple golds. This price wasn't something an ordinary mage could afford. One had to be at least an Archmage, and a 5th Rank Archmage at that, to be able to afford it. Moreover, it could only be used as a life-saving potion.
Only some mages of major forces or peak Archmages would be willing to use such an expensive potion as a consumable.
Robbing a branch store and stealing a thousand bottles of Blue Demon Potion would be worth a hundred and eighty million purple golds. Moreover, this wealth would only be worth more if it was sold. If it was used to explore ruins and other dangerous areas, the profits would be even greater …
When the sky brightened, Faelor received news that many of the branches were occupied by people who shouldn't be there. It was obvious that they were up to no good.
The Gilded Rose's 38 branches simply couldn't guard against Heaven Rank powerhouses shamelessly making a move. Now that the first person had succeeded, the people behind him had even fewer misgivings. As long as there were enough people, even if the Gilded Rose knew who did it, they wouldn't dare to offend so many Heaven Rank powerhouses at once.
Before Faleau could think of a way to intimidate them, another piece of news arrived. A famous Heaven Rank Sword Saint had his hands cut off in the city where one of the branches of the Gilded Rose had been robbed. Moreover, there was a special kind of power on the wound that couldn't be healed and kept bleeding.
The stolen Blue Devil Potions also appeared in the branch store in perfect condition. Even the people in the branch store didn't know how these Blue Devil Potions came back …
On the other side, in the city where the branch was robbed, an Archmage also had his hands cut off, and that guy was even more miserable. He was cursed by someone, and the method of the Silence Curse was different from ordinary Silence Curses, it couldn't be removed.
A mage who had lost his hands and couldn't be healed was basically half crippled.
As for the stolen Blue Devil Potions, they were also sent back by someone.
The two unlucky Heaven Rank powerhouses with their hands cut off were wandering mages. It wasn't easy for them to advance to the Heaven Rank, but they didn't have the support of any major force, resources, or good incantations. Their foundation wasn't good, so their path forward was completely cut off. Thus, out of desperation, they wanted to rob a pile of Blue Devil Potions and find some ruins that couldn't be explored to look for opportunities.
But before they could leave the city, they were caught by someone and had their hands cut off without being able to resist. In the end, they didn't even get to see what the other party looked like.
The two unlucky guys didn't admit that they had stolen the Gilded Rose, they only said that they had been attacked and that no one had seen it. They were crippled without being able to resist.
And at the same time, all the shops of the Gilded Rose started selling Blue Devil Potions. The two shops that had been rumored to have been stolen still had enough Blue Devil Potions on sale, it seemed that it had only been a rumor.
But as long as it wasn't a force with poor intelligence, they would be able to see that those two unlucky Heaven Rank powerhouses had stolen from the Gilded Rose's branch, but they didn't have time to run before being crippled. They couldn't even resist, and they didn't even know who the other side was.
With the deterrence of these two, the people who originally had some ideas immediately became well-behaved. The Gilded Rose didn't spread the news that the Blue Devil Potions had been stolen, but the two that had been stolen were extremely miserable.
One of them was continuously bleeding, and as a Heaven Rank Sword Saint, he was about to die from the flu. Even a holy light mage didn't have much effect on him. As for the other one, the bleeding had stopped, but his hands were crippled. It was as if he didn't have hands to begin with. 9th Tier Limb Regeneration was useless, and the Silence Curse couldn't be removed. He was basically crippled.
Everyone knew that this was definitely the doing of the Gilded Rose, but no one said anything. Everyone pretended not to know about this matter, but the bad thoughts in their hearts had already been dispelled. Because the people who had the intention to investigate didn't find anything, they didn't dare to investigate.
A powerhouse that could make Heaven Rank powerhouses lose the ability to resist and cripple them without even seeing the other party's face. And it wasn't just one powerhouse. No one was willing to provoke them if there was no enmity between them.
The Gilded Rose's Blue Devil Potions were very successful. Among all the branches, the fastest selling Blue Devil Potions were sold out in ten minutes, while the slowest selling out in fifteen minutes.
Neverwinter City's main store had the most Blue Devil Potions in stock. However, they were all sold out in half an hour. Moreover, this was only for retail sales. The major powers that came up to him to discuss cooperation would generally start with ten thousand potions.
This was what the Gilded Rose needed the most. With the Blue Devil Potions, they could trade for the resources they needed from these forces. Many resources wouldn't appear in the market in large quantities, they were all in the hands of some major forces. Especially some raw materials that Noscent didn't have, no one would directly sell them.
They could only barter with sufficiently precious things. Purple golds simply didn't have much use here, they couldn't be bought even if they wanted to.
Now that they had the Blue Devil Potions, there was a possibility of negotiating. No force would think that they didn't need the Blue Devil Potions.
The sale of the Blue Devil Potions went very smoothly, but Faleau was completely baffled. There was a huge question mark hanging over his head.
Many people within the Gilded Rose felt that this was definitely the work of the Gilded Rose, but Faleau knew that the one who crippled those two unlucky 1st Rank Heaven Rank powerhouses wasn't a powerhouse of the Gilded Rose.
'Damnit, who did this? Xiuban? No, if Xiuban made a move, those two idiots would have already turned into meat paste.
Reina? No, that special Silence Curse and that bleeding effect weren't Reina's abilities, so who could it be?
'Pabiete, that's not right either. Although Pabiete is powerful, he doesn't understand curses. Pabiete is only a puppet after all.
'It might be Sir Merlin, but Sir Merlin definitely wouldn't care about this kind of thing, and he definitely wouldn't personally make a move. Clearly, it was two powerhouses.
'Could it be that Sir Merlin has other powerhouses under him? No, this definitely wasn't done by a powerhouse of the Gilded Rose, so who was it?
