Shifeng breathed out a deep sigh of relief when he heard the system notification. ¥f,
He had to complete the Holy City of Titan's entrance trial in three days. If his Attributes had fallen any further, he would have had no choice but to wait until his Weakened Soul had fully recovered before challenging the trial.
He did not wish to give up on the opportunity to challenge the Holy City of Titan.
With 50 slots, many Intermediate Alchemists and Intermediate Forgers would be promoted to Advanced Rank. Without these slots, Shi Feng would have to spend a lot of time nurturing so many Advanced Alchemists and Intermediate Forgers to create Strengthening Devices and Magic Resistance items.
In the current trading market, the status of Lifestyle players changed with each passing day.
First-rate Guilds, for example, had originally nurtured their own Lifestyle players privately. Now, however, to increase their market share, these Guilds had begun to recruit Lifestyle players. Moreover, the benefits they offered were better than the previous. Currently, Lifestyle players were already treated as elite members of the Guild. If their standards were high enough, they could even enjoy the treatment of core members.
Because of this, players who had originally intended to rely on field battles to survive in God's Domain had begun to consider becoming pure Lifestyle players. After all, pure Lifestyle players had their own pleasures. Only, due to their low status and mediocre treatment, many players had chosen to fight monsters. Now that the situation had changed, players who were not proficient in combat had begun to experiment with various Lifestyle classes.
With the influx of Lifestyle players, the competition for Lifestyle players had become even more intense. The number of Advanced Lifestyle players had also increased. If not for Candlelight's Special Workshop, which could attract and nurture many talents, it would not have been able to maintain its position as Starmoon Kingdom's number one trading firm.
Although Shifeng had long since guessed that such an outcome would occur, he had never imagined that the rise of Lifestyle players would be so frightening.
If not for Candlelight's early accumulation and unique hot-selling products, it would have long since been surpassed by other large Guilds' trading firms.
Recently, according to A Melancholy Smile's reports, Sky Burial Society's Heavenly Trading Firm had risen the fastest. In just a dozen or so days, it had risen to become one of Starmoon Kingdom's Six Great Trading Firms. Recently, it had even surpassed Overwhelming Smile's Overwhelming Trading Firm to become the second-largest trading firm in Starmoon Kingdom. Its rise was astonishing.
This was also the reason why Youlan was so anxious to enter the Holy City of Titan.
After all, in order to determine the strength of a trading firm, apart from goods and people, the most important factor was the number of Advanced players in the trading firm.
"Not bad. You've gained Basic Control over the Soul Fire so quickly. It will be much easier for you to find that person now." At this moment, Sharlyn walked over. After sizing up Shi Feng, she nodded and said, "Right now, you have only begun to gain control over the Soul Fire, so the weakening effect is limited. You can only delay it for half the time. In other words, you have 54 days to find that person. However, as your control over the Soul Fire improves, the delay will also increase."
"Then, how do I improve my control over the Soul Fire?" Shi Feng asked curiously.
Although he could tell that he was only at the initial stage of controlling the Soul Fire, there was still a possibility for him to advance further. However, there was no notification in the system that said so.
. "That's simple. You just need to find other Mysterious Flames. The Soul Fire is extraordinary. With the Ice-Blue Devil Flame's power, you can only exert the Soul Fire to this extent. If you wish to improve it further, you'll need to increase your suppression power. The higher the rank of the Mysterious Flame you absorb, the better. However, the lowest rank should be Tier 2," Xia explained.
"I need a Mysterious Flame to improve it?" Shifeng was speechless.
Mysterious Flames were not like Bronze Equipment that could be found on the streets.
There were indeed some Mysterious Flames within Star-Moon Kingdom. There were even a few Tier 2 Mysterious Flames within the White River City region. However, the only Tier 2 Mysterious Flame Shi Feng knew of and how to obtain was the Ice-Blue Devil Flame. As for the other Mysterious Flames, Shi Feng did not know of their origins.
He did know the location of a Tier 3 Mysterious Flame in the Starmoon Kingdom. However, it was a secret location. It was not a place a player of his current standard could go. At the very least, he would have to complete his Tier 2 Promotion Quest and reach Level 60 or 70 before he could obtain it.
It was impossible for him to obtain a Mysterious Flame in a mere 54 days.
It seems that I'll have to get Shiuse Qiangwei to notify the Guild members to gather information on Mysterious Flames, Shifeng thought inwardly.
A Legendary Quest was no laughing matter. Shi Feng did not believe that he could find the mysterious youth, whose strength far surpassed Tier 5, with his current strength. Moreover, the quest had a way to slow down the quest's duration. This meant that this quest was not something he could complete right now.
Just the difficulty of finding and obtaining a Tier 2 Mysterious Flame was no easier than an Epic Quest.
According to God's Domain's statistics, completing an Epic Quest would take a few days to complete, while some would take a month or two. However, if one wanted to complete a Legendary Quest, the fastest would take two to three months, while the slowest would take three to five years.
The system's main goal was to stall for time. If players could not find a sufficient number of Mysterious Flames, they would fail the quest and become someone else's puppet. At that time, they would have no choice but to delete their account and start all over again.
This was the frightening aspect of a Legendary Quest. An Epic Quest simply could not compare to it.
Following which, Shifeng shook his head, calming his emotions. He then attempted to use the Soul Fire's power.
In the next moment, a wisp of silver flames appeared in Shifeng's black eyes, and the feeling he gave off changed abruptly.
Previously, when Shifeng did not hide anything, he gave off the feeling of an unsheathed sword. Now, however, even though Shifeng did not hide anything, he gave off a deathly cold feeling, causing others to shudder. There was not a hint of emotion in his eyes, only absolute rationality. It was frighteningly calm. It was as if nothing in the world could affect Shifeng.
Is this the power of the Soul Fire? Shifeng was indescribably shocked as he looked at his surroundings.
Previously, when he had activated the Ice-Blue Devil Flame, he had only increased the damage of his fire-type and ice-type Skills. However, after activating the Soul Fire, although he did not receive any increase in damage or Attributes, his mind was unprecedentedly calm. The degree of his calmness was frightening even to him. It was as if everything in the world was merely a string of numbers.
Aside from his absolute calmness, Shifeng's world was a silvery white, devoid of any other color.
Meanwhile, in this silvery white world, he could clearly see the Soul Chain around his body, which extended all the way to the outside of the hall.
Just as Shifeng was about to experience this power again, the sound of a system notification reached his ears.
