Upon arriving at Candlelight, Shifeng led Youlan and the others inside.
The moment they entered Candlelight's first-floor hall, they felt as if they had entered a supermarket. A dazzling array of products was displayed before them, the variety dazzling.
When players from other cities and kingdoms saw these items, they felt as if they had arrived in another world.
The current God's Domain was no longer the same as when Lifestyle classes had yet to develop. However, things were different now. Lifestyle classes had gradually become one of the main development goals of the various large Guilds. Meanwhile, Shifeng had placed a lot of emphasis on Lifestyle classes from the very beginning. In addition, they had recruited a large number of Advanced Lifestyle classes.
Not only did they produce a large number of items, but they also produced a wide variety of items.
Currently, Candlelight sold over a hundred types of self-made items. Although these items were relatively low-quality and not very practical, they still attracted some players who needed them.
Moreover, Candlelight's most impressive aspect compared to other trading firms was its weapons and equipment.
Aside from a few pieces of Level 45 Dark-Gold Equipment for display, there were plenty of Level 5 to Level 40 equipment for sale. The quality of the equipment ranged from Bronze rank to Fine-Gold rank. These equipment could satisfy the needs of players who had just joined God's Domain.
The Candlelight Trading Firm's Level 40 weapons and equipment, in particular, had long since filled the hall.
Although there were plenty of Level 40 weapons and equipment on the market, Secret-Silver and Fine-Gold items were extremely rare. Practically all of the various large Guilds had been keeping these items for themselves. Even if they did sell these items, they would sell for exorbitant prices, far exceeding the market price.
However, Candlelight was different. Its prices were slightly higher than the market price, and its quality ranged from Bronze to Fine-Gold. Among them, the majority were Secret-Silver and Fine-Gold items. As soon as they were placed on the counter, they would be sold out immediately.
"It's no wonder why Candlelight is known as Starmoon Kingdom's number one trading firm. Sure enough, it has a strong foundation." Fu Jiuzhong, who followed Shifeng, nodded slightly as he looked at the various items displayed in the hall.
Meanwhile, the other Lifestyle players were inwardly shocked.
A short moment later, Shifeng's group arrived at one of Candlelight's Special Alchemy Rooms. At this moment, the room was filled with people. When they saw Shifeng's group arrive, they turned to look.
"Huh? President Hei Yan is here for the ranking competition?"
"Even the Guild Leader has come personally. Could something good have happened?"
"Probably. Haven't you heard that Ling Yi City has been built? Maybe someone will be appointed to manage Candlelight in Ling Yi City. After all, Manager Hesitation alone can't manage so many places. "
…
When the crowd saw the Shifeng walking in, they began to whisper among themselves. They became even more excited about the Ranking Tournament.
A Melancholy Smile walked up to the Shifeng and said, "Guild Leader, you're here. I've already made the necessary arrangements. There are a total of 323 Alchemists participating in this test. Among them, there are 244 Intermediate Alchemists and 79 Advanced Alchemists. We can start the ranking battle now."
Youlan and the others behind Shifeng gasped when they heard A Melancholy Smile's words.
"Ling Yi actually has such a large number of Advanced Alchemists?" Youlan couldn't believe her eyes as she swept her gaze over the crowd.
When she had first seen these people, she had assumed that they were all Ling YI Society's Alchemists. After all, they were on par with Underworld.
Now, however, it would seem that the gap was too large. There were already over 300 Intermediate Alchemists and above. If the Basic Alchemists and Apprentice Alchemists were included, wouldn't there be close to a thousand?
Moreover, the number of Advanced Alchemists was truly frightening.
Even now, Underworld only had close to 20 Advanced Alchemists, yet Candlelight actually had four times as many …
Fu Jiuzhong couldn't help but feel a little more motivated.
"Alright. I still have one more Advanced Alchemist participating in the ranking battle. That way, we'll have 80 Advanced Alchemists in one group, and the rest Intermediate Alchemists in another." Shifeng nodded. He wasn't surprised by the number of Advanced Alchemists Candlelight currently had.
Due to Ling Yi's expansion, Candlelight's environment, and the news of alchemy tools he had spread, it wasn't surprising that so many Advanced Alchemists would join the competition.
In reality, Candlelight could've had even more Advanced Alchemists. However, due to God's Domain's evolution, many changes had occurred to Lifestyle classes. This was especially true when it came to class promotions. In the past, players only needed to meet the required proficiency requirements to get promoted. Now, however, not only did they have to meet the required proficiency requirements, but they also had to pass the Lifestyle Association's assessment to ensure that they had a certain success rate when crafting a specific item.
Otherwise, with so many Advanced Alchemists nurtured by the Guild, they would've long since become Advanced Alchemists by now.
Following which, Fu Jiuzhong joined the Advanced Alchemist team.
"Right, aside from the inherent benefits, the top three players will also have the opportunity to learn this Advanced Alchemy Recipe, the Mana Amplification Potion." Shifeng then took out a large booklet from his bag and placed it on the stone table. He then clicked on the booklet to display the Mana Amplification Potion's effects.
After everyone read the Mana Amplification Potion's description, the crowd fell silent.
"What?! This is a Berserk Potion!"
"An Advanced Berserk Potion? There must be a special alchemy technique involved. If I can learn that technique, I'll have a much easier time becoming a Master Alchemist. I must get into the top three this time! "
The alchemists' eyes glowed when they saw the Mana Amplification Potion, including Fu Jiuzhong, who hadn't shown much interest in the competition.
Advanced Alchemy Recipes were different from ordinary alchemy recipes. Both recipes required different alchemy techniques and techniques. If one learned these techniques, they would be of great help when creating potions in the future. If an alchemist focused on researching Berserk Potions, the Advanced Alchemy Recipe would be an indispensable alchemy technique and technique.
"Wonder, this is your chance. Haven't you always wanted to create an Advanced Berserk Potion to become a Master Alchemist? If you can get your hands on this recipe, you'll have a 90% chance of becoming a Master Alchemist, "a female alchemist said as she looked at Silent Wonder.
"Mhm. This potion will be of great help to me. As long as I win first place, I'll be able to become a Master Alchemist with the help of the Jade Set." Silent Wonder nodded as she looked at the Mana Amplification Potion on the stone table. She was determined to win it. Moreover, she had the confidence and capital to do so. After all, she had been improving her alchemy standards recently.
When Shifeng saw Fu Jiuzhong and Silent Wonder brimming with fighting spirit, he simply smiled and did not say anything.
"Now that we've discussed everything, you may enter your respective alchemy rooms. The final result will be determined by your production success rate and speed," Shifeng said. "Also, during this period, you will not need to use any external items. You can only use the Guild's designated alchemy tools."
None of the alchemists were surprised to hear this.
The Lifestyle class test was a test of one's combat standards. Hence, Intermediate Alchemists were not necessarily weaker than Advanced Alchemists. Many players had only just started learning the Lifestyle class. Even if their combat standards were high enough, they still needed to accumulate enough Proficiency Points to become an Advanced Alchemist.
Hence, the ranking system was divided into Intermediate and Advanced Alchemists. Intermediate Alchemists would produce Intermediate items, while Advanced Alchemists would produce Advanced items. In the end, the competition would be determined by their production success rate and speed.
Following which, the alchemists followed A Melancholy Smile's instructions and entered their designated alchemy rooms.
"Guild Leader, will this really be alright?" A Melancholy Smile asked worriedly as he watched the alchemists enter their respective alchemy rooms.
Previously, to attract more alchemists, they had announced that even official members of Candlelight could compete for the right to use Dark-Gold alchemy tools. Although this announcement had indeed attracted many powerful alchemists, it would be a waste to allow non-official members to use the precious alchemy tools. If they allowed internal members to use the tools, they might be able to nurture Master Alchemists more quickly.
Instead of answering A Melancholy Smile's concerns, Shifeng asked, "How are the internal members coming along with the Basic Alchemy Techniques?"
"One-third of them have already learned one of the designated Basic Alchemy Techniques. According to what you said, they can borrow the Moon God's Secret Journal once for each Basic Alchemy Technique they learn. The most powerful person has already borrowed the Moon God's Secret Journal four times, while the rest have only borrowed it twice." A Melancholy Smile did not understand why Shifeng would ask such a question.
Although the Basic Alchemy Techniques were good, they were still only the basics. There was no lack of expert alchemists participating in this competition. This was especially true for Silent Wonder. If she became an internal member of Candlelight, she definitely had a chance to become a Master Alchemist.
"That's enough, then." Shifeng chuckled. Without further explanation, he said, "Let's wait for the results."
