Although the two of them hadn't been in contact for a long time, Solomon had been paying attention to this young mage since a few months ago. At that time, this young mage had someone take a bottle of Spectrum Potion and exchanged it for a pass with the highest authority from the Sage Tower. He then holed up in the library for about two months.
During these two months, although Solomon hadn't gone to the library, Solon would bring him all kinds of news every day. What kind of book did Mage Merlin read today, what kind of notes did Mage Merlin write the next day, what kind of opinion did Mage Merlin express the day after …
There were some things that even Lin Yun might not remember, but Solomon was very clear about.
Because Solomon knew that this young mage wasn't simple, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Even Solon didn't know that after a certain person expressed his opinion on the Fanrusen Formula, Solomon returned to his study and wrote a long letter to Star Sage Joy.
The four pieces of data attached to this long letter quickly caused a wave of discussion in the mage circle of the kingdom. It wasn't just Star Sage Joy, it wasn't just the Cloud Tower. Many powerful mages interested in the Fanrusen Formula started participating in this discussion through letters. More and more mages started admitting that these four pieces of data might very well prove that the Fanrusen Formula was wrong. Many mages even sent congratulations to Solomon because they felt that these four pieces of data provided by Solomon would be a major discovery that would be recorded in the annals of magic.
Facing these congratulations, Solomon could only bitterly smile.
Because only Solomon himself knew that these four pieces of data didn't belong to him, but rather to a young mage in his twenties.
But Solomon couldn't understand whether this young mage had calculated these four pieces of data himself or if he had accidentally heard it from someone else.
That was why Solomon had repeatedly asked him to stay, and had even deliberately brought the topic to the topic of magic during their conversation. It was all to probe whether this young mage's knowledge of magic was strong enough to see through the errors in the Fanrusen Formula.
He didn't dare to say whether it was true or not, but one thing was for sure. This young mage's magic knowledge was definitely far beyond his current level.
It was even beyond the level of a Great Mage, because in the conversation just now, Solomon clearly felt that this young mage was holding back a lot of the time and did not fully display his magic knowledge.
But even so, it was scary enough.
A mage whose magic knowledge was at least at the level of an Archmage …
Moreover, this mage was only in his twenties. In the future, let alone his disciple Solon, even Ryan of the Monchi Family would be left far behind by him.
Now, that young mage was frantically competing for potion materials.
What did this mean …
At this time, Solomon was a bit suspicious. Could it be that the mysterious Great Alchemist he had speculated about didn't exist, or was it Mafa Merlin himself?
If it had been two months ago, Solomon definitely wouldn't have thought like this. The reason was very simple. Everyone knew that a good mage might not necessarily be a good alchemist, but a good alchemist was definitely a good mage. This might sound a bit awkward, but it had been proven countless times.
Alchemy was originally separated from magic, and the more profound the alchemy, the more profound magic knowledge was needed to support it. There were many theories and common understandings that couldn't be comprehended without enough magic knowledge. There were even some alchemy operations that required enough mana to complete.
A very simple example was Thorpe, one of the three big shots of the Sage Tower. Before advancing to the High Mage realm, Thorpe had been stuck at the peak of the Alchemist realm for a dozen years. It wasn't until he suddenly advanced to the High Mage realm that his alchemy advanced by leaps and bounds, and within a month, he entered the ranks of the Great Alchemists.
At that time, Mafa Merlin had only just stepped into the ranks of mages, so how could he have reached the level of a Great Alchemist?
But now, Solomon was truly doubtful.
A mage whose magic knowledge had reached the level of a Great Mage should theoretically have the ability to compound a Spectrum Potion.
Moreover, he was now sparing no effort to compete for potion materials …
Solomon was sitting in the corner of the box, coughing violently from time to time. His originally hesitant expression suddenly became firm.
At this time, the auction for the Red Flame Fish Oil had already come to an end. Lin Yun used 1.2 million golds to win the last material for the Mana Baptism.
To Lin Yun, the auction was already over after he got the Red Flame Fish Oil, but to many people, the auction had only just begun.
Because the next item to be auctioned was the finale of the auction.
This was the tradition of the Black Horn Auction. The most precious and shocking items would be auctioned at the last moment. This was a way to increase the suspense, as well as a way to show respect. It was just like in novels, where the most important characters would always appear last.
"The next item to be auctioned is the finale of this auction …" Cadgar said as he lifted the silk covering the auction stage, revealing two potions, one red and one black. "Now, in front of everyone is a Volcano Potion and a Ghost Potion."
"Heavens …"
"Is it really a Volcano Potion and a Ghost Potion?"
"How could such a thing appear in Thousand Sails City!"
Cadgar hadn't even finished speaking when the venue was already in chaos. If the Hell Destroyer Incantation and the Red Flame Fish Oil had caused a sensation, then these two potions had caused an explosive shock.
Those who could participate in the Black Horn Auction could be said to be experienced and knowledgeable people. How could they not have heard of the famous Volcano Potion and Ghost Potion?
In fact, this wasn't as simple as just hearing about them.
These two potions closest to the Master Alchemist realm had already become legendary existences in many people's hearts. The Volcano Potion that could make mana erupt like a volcano, instantly pushing a Great Mage to the High Mage realm, and the Ghost Potion that could turn the body into nothingness. These two potions could be said to be existences at the peak of the Great Alchemist realm. Any Great Alchemist that mastered these two potions would be able to step into the Master Alchemist realm overnight.
Moreover, even a Great Alchemist at that level wouldn't easily compound these two potions. First, because the materials were too expensive. An ordinary Great Alchemist might not necessarily be able to afford them, and second, because these two potions consumed a lot of energy. They would usually take a dozen days or even a month to complete.
Whenever one of these two potions appeared, countless forces would fight over it, and they wouldn't hesitate to go bankrupt for it.
But now, two potions had appeared at the same time.
Could it be that two Great Alchemists that might become Master Alchemists suddenly appeared in Thousand Sails City?
"I think everyone must be wondering why these two potions would be auctioned together." Cadgar shamelessly paused here. Once everyone's interest was piqued, this Chief Appraiser slowly said, "The reason is very simple, it's because the author of these two potions is the same person."
The same person!
The shock caused by this answer wasn't inferior to the shock caused by the two potions themselves. Compounding one potion of this level was already a very frightening matter, but someone had actually compounded two potions at the same time. What was going on? Was he deliberately trying to scare people?
"Moreover, I can tell everyone that this future Master Alchemist is very, very young, younger than you all can imagine …"
Cadgar paused here. No matter how much everyone asked, he didn't say anything else. What a joke! How could an old man like Cadgar not know what he should say and what he shouldn't say?
Whether it was saying that the author was the same person or that the author was very, very young, it was all to make these two potions look more legendary. If he continued, he would be exposed. He had managed to get closer to Mage Merlin with great difficulty before the Sage Tower, so how could Cadgar push such a future Master Alchemist onto the stage before establishing a solid enough relationship? Wouldn't that be too much trouble?
"Alright, the next two potions will be auctioned off at a low price of three hundred thousand gold, with each bid increment being no less than twenty thousand gold."
Cadgar's immoral introduction immediately piqued everyone's curiosity.
Two potions infinitely close to the Master Alchemist level coming from the same person was fine, but now, Cadgar had actually dropped such a shocking piece of information!
After all, Cadgar himself was a talented Great Alchemist. When he stepped into the Great Alchemist realm, he was only forty years old. But now, even Cadgar used the phrase "unimaginably young" to describe him. How young was this Great Alchemist?
Thirty-five years old, or even thirty years old?
Just the thought of this possibility caused everyone present to feel their scalps tingle …
None of the people sitting in the venue were simple characters. There was no lack of leaders of peak forces among them. They had nurtured many Alchemists themselves, so how could they not know how difficult it was to nurture an Alchemist?
