Cadgar's eyes were still narrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking. The young Alchemist's eyes were wide open as he looked at Lin Yun in disbelief. 'You actually refused such an opportunity, you must be crazy …'
At this time, the young Alchemist truly wished he could trade places with Lin Yun. It would be great if his potions could appear in the Black Horn Auction …
"Because I need a sum of money. There are four things that I've taken a fancy to in the Black Horn Auction. I need to immediately get some money to compete for those four things." After thinking about it, Lin Yun decided to give an explanation. After all, Cadgar had been very polite to him from start to finish, and he had repeatedly refused the other side. This was more or less not giving him any face.
Hearing Lin Yun's explanation, Cadgar, who had been narrowing his eyes, suddenly smiled. "That's easy, Mage Merlin, I can appraise your potions right now. You can use as much as you want in the auction, and I guarantee that the final price will definitely be higher than my estimate."
"That's good …" Lin Yun nodded and took out the two potions from his pocket.
Cadgar first glanced at them, and then a trace of amazement appeared on his face. He promptly picked up the two potions and frowned as he carefully analyzed them. His expression kept changing, and after a long time, he asked with a horrified expression, "Volcano Potion?"
"Yes, Volcano Potion."
Lin Yun's casual answer made Cadgar hold his breath. "Heavens …"
And the young Alchemist, who had been itching to replace Lin Yun, suddenly felt his vision darken when he heard the words "Volcano Potion".
'Volcano Potion, it's actually a Volcano Potion …'
Although no one was paying attention to him, the Alchemist subconsciously lowered his head, wishing that there was a crack in the ground that he could crawl into.
It was rumored that the Volcano Potion could make mana erupt like a volcano, instantly pushing a Great Mage to the High Mage realm. It actually appeared in front of him, and he even valued it at three hundred golds, unceremoniously calling it trash …
That was the mark of a Great Alchemist. Being able to compound the Volcano Potion meant that one had truly stepped into the ranks of the Great Alchemists.
That was a Great Alchemist …
It was enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Cadgar Thorpe. The young Alchemist simply didn't dare to believe that he had offended a Great Alchemist, and a Great Alchemist in his twenties at that!
"Then this bottle …" Cadgar was a lot calmer in comparison. After letting out a startled cry, he quickly recovered and looked at the other potion with some doubt. "I'm sorry, it might be because I'm too old, I can't recognize it."
"This bottle is a Ghost Potion." Lin Yun smiled.
"…"
This time, Cadgar didn't let out a startled cry, because he was already stunned.
If compounding the Volcano Potion was the mark of a Great Alchemist, then the Ghost Potion meant that he was already standing at the peak of the Great Alchemist realm. It was the potion closest to the Master rank. A Great Alchemist being able to compound a Ghost Potion meant that he had already reached the peak of potioneering. As long as he had enough experience and accumulation, he could step into the Master rank at any time.
Cadgar had been studying potioneering for a few dozen years, but he was still stuck at the Great Alchemist realm. He didn't know how long he would have to walk to reach the Master rank.
Even if Master William had once praised this young mage endlessly, even if he had seen him take out a Volcano Potion with his own eyes, Cadgar truly hadn't expected that the second potion he took out would actually be the Ghost Potion closest to the Master rank!
Originally, Cadgar had made a lot of preparations. How to value these two potions, how to sell a favor to the other side, how to persuade the other side to cooperate with the Black Horn Auction House, how to recruit this young mage with boundless prospects, and so on …
But when Cadgar heard the words "Ghost Potion", he discovered that all of his preparations had been in vain.
Indeed, in vain …
Recruiting a potioneering alchemist who could step into the Master rank at any time was something that Cadgar couldn't say no matter how thick-skinned he was. Let alone a small Black Horn Auction House, even the Black Horn chamber of commerce behind him would need a few of the highest echelons to make an appearance.
As for how to persuade him, how to sell a favor, that didn't even need to be mentioned. Playing these kinds of tricks in front of a future Master Alchemist was meaningless.
"Mage Merlin, this …" Cadgar opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after opening his mouth, he found that he didn't know what to say.
"You seem to have forgotten to value them, High Mage Cadgar."
"Right, right, right, appraise, appraise …" After being reminded by Lin Yun, Cadgar remembered that he had to appraise the potions. But after staring at the two potions for a long time, Cadgar suddenly discovered that the usually simple appraisal had become incomparably difficult.
Cadgar pondered for a minute before clenching his teeth. "Mage Merlin, I'm really sorry, but I might not be able to help you value these two potions. I can only tell you that if you are willing to cooperate with the Black Horn Auction House, we can use these two potions as the finale of the auction. As for the four items you are competing for, I can represent the Black Horn Auction House to guarantee you that you will obtain the full support of the Black Horn Auction House!"
Even Lin Yun was startled by Cadgar's words.
What did the full support of the Black Horn Auction House mean? It meant that as long as he steeled his heart to obtain those four materials, the funds he could use would be limitless!
"Alright then, thank you for your trust. I'll leave these two potions to you."
"You are too polite …" Originally, Cadgar had only wanted to use this opportunity to rope in this young mage with boundless prospects, but he hadn't expected that this young mage would bring such a big surprise. At this time, Cadgar truly didn't care about being polite with Lin Yun.
A bottle of Volcano Potion and a bottle of Ghost Potion had completely disrupted the auction's original arrangements. Cadgar had to hurry up and overturn the original arrangements before the start of the auction. He had to make some new arrangements in order to make these two potions reach their intended effects.
"Then, Mage Merlin, I'll take my leave first."
Thus, after saying a few polite words, Cadgar hurriedly said his goodbyes. But before leaving, he called the young Alchemist over. "Faleau, help me take care of Mage Merlin. Be sure to properly greet him. If you neglect Mage Merlin, you'll have to pack your things and return to Okland."
"Yes, yes, yes …" In fact, there was no need for Cadgar's warning. After witnessing all this, Faleau's people were terrified. How could they dare to neglect Lin Yun?
