Chapter 222
Daniel stood with his hands behind his back in front of three elderly cultivators .
They were in a dark room, with the three elders inspecting a big cauldron that stood between them and Daniel .
"Elders, did you request for me?"
Daniel asked in his usual polite tone, his head was slightly bowed as he spoke .
"Yes . We need you to go to the Bare Dungeon and collect as many Excavating worms as you can . We will reward you and anyone you want to bring along of course . "
One of the elders spoke without moving his gaze from the cauldron .
"If I may ask, can't we just give this mission to the Hunters' guild? It seems inappropriate for an alchemist to hunt magical beasts . "
Daniel asked, making a bow to emphasize his respect for the three cultivators .
"Daniel, what is the main ingredient for the majority of the alchemic products?"
Another elder questioned him .
Daniel's answer came immediately .
"Magical beasts' blood! However, we should have plenty of that stashed . "
"That is correct . Magical beasts' blood is the base on which most of our products are created and yes, we do have enough for of it stashed for our normal activities . Yet, we are attempting in something quite far from the ordinary . "
The elder tapped the cauldron in front of him and showed an excited smile to the young man .
The inscriptions on the cauldron flickered and released some of their power, making Daniel take a few steps back to withstand the wave of energy radiated from the item .
That cauldron wasn't a common inscribed item!
"What are you going to concoct with it?"
Daniel asked in astonishment .
Such powerful items were usually used to create pills that had a rank above the third!
For a pill or a potion to be in the fourth rank, it meant that it could affect cultivators in that same rank!
Products that could accelerate the cultivation were extremely valuable, especially if they were effective in the heroic ranks .
"Hehe, interested? We managed to find the recipe for a rank 5 potion and, of course, we are eager to try it out . "
Rank 5 potion!
A medicine that was effective on rank 5 cultivators!
Even cultivation techniques were rare at that level, Daniel couldn't even imagine the value of a rank 5 medicine .
"Now that you know what we are dealing with, you must understand the number of resources involved in the process . We can't just stop all the activities of the alchemy division for our experiments so we need to gather more resources . Sadly, the value of the Excavating worms is low in the market of the capital so no hunter would accept this mission unless we pay a hefty sum . Yet, in order to gather all the materials described in the recipe we have already spent a lot of Credits, we can't afford the services of that guild . The only option is to send one of us there . "
One elder explained their situation .
Daniel slowly recovered from the shock and put a pensive expression .
"I don't need Credits . "
