Chapter 24 Profane Mysterious Medicine
After flipping through the manual again, Lin Tian turned his gaze to the center of the room with a clear ringing of a bell.
There, a table had been set up somewhere, and behind it stood the proprietress, who was wearing a bartender's uniform and had a sexy figure.
The party has begun. As Lin Tian silently counted to himself, he closed the handbook.
Let me see what's going on.
"Welcome to the 13th Morimori-kan Gathering. I am here on behalf of Morimori-kan to host this gathering, and I welcome everyone to join us."
As the proprietress spoke, some scattered applause rang out from below the stage, and Lin Tian clapped twice perfunctorily.
"As is customary, we will proceed with the goods trade first."
After the applause subsided, the proprietress spoke again in a clear voice. At the same time, the wooden platform opened naturally, revealing a box in front of everyone.
"The main material of the bronze-grade superior staff, Yacas amber crystal, is what the seller wants to exchange for a bottle of blasphemous potion, or the recipe for a blasphemous potion."
Inside the box was an orange-yellow crystal. Its exterior was unremarkable, but it emitted a faint fluorescence.
He could roughly understand what the material of the bronze staff meant. After all, as a good young man of the new century, he had played a lot of games, and the name could give him a general idea of its purpose.
However, what is this mysterious drug? The name sounds very dangerous.
Just as Lin Tian was still pondering, a middle-aged masked man in the audience spoke up.
"This stuff is indeed very good, but it's simply impossible to exchange it for a whole bottle of the Blasphemy Elixir. This stuff is already scarce, and as for exchanging the formula, that's even more out of the question. The formula is worth more than the elixir itself. If someone could obtain the formula for the Blasphemy Elixir, regardless of which god it came from, they could make a fortune. This person offering the price is clearly a greenhorn who just entered the extraordinary world, asking for such an outrageous price. Didn't your tavern even ask him anything?"
The proprietress didn't directly answer the middle-aged man's question; she simply smiled slightly and continued:
"This is the bidder's offer. Does anyone else want it?"
The audience fell silent. Clearly, the middle-aged man's words had won them over, which made Lin Tian even more curious about this blasphemous elixir.
After a while, seeing that no one wanted to bid, the proprietress prepared to close the box and put it away. Just then, another man in the audience spoke up.
"Although I don't have the blasphemous elixir or the recipe, I do have clues about it. I know where I can get the blasphemous elixir."
The man's calm and confident tone made the proprietress stop packing up the boxes.
However, before the man and the proprietress could speak, someone in the audience shouted excitedly.
"Great!"
Everyone turned their attention to a young man wearing a moon-shaped mask who looked very young. He stood up and clenched his fists as if he was extremely excited.
However, under the gaze of everyone, he stiffened.
Oh no! I jumped up in my excitement, and now everyone knows I'm the seller. What am I going to do...?
The young man was filled with remorse. He had a rather youthful personality and couldn't hide his feelings. He was sad for a while after the middle-aged man finished speaking, until someone mentioned a clue about the mysterious medicine, which excited him.
This excitement made him stand up, and now that everyone was looking at him, he didn't know how to end the situation.
Well, I'm wearing a mask anyway, and nobody knows me. Since I've already stepped forward, I can only grit my teeth and continue.
The boy coughed lightly, and after mentally preparing his excuses, he spoke in a slightly nervous tone:
"Actually, I stood up on purpose."
Silence fell over the room...
Oh my god! This is even more embarrassing!
Fortunately, just when the boy was at a loss, the proprietress, who noticed his situation, spoke up to help him out.
"Do you want to change the price?"
With just one sentence, the issue was brought to the main point, which also eased the awkward atmosphere somewhat.
Although the boy was a bit slow-witted, he wasn't stupid. He quickly realized what was happening and immediately spoke:
"That's right, I want to change the price."
The boy turned his gaze to the person who had just mentioned having a clue, and then continued:
"Any clue will do. I've been stuck at the ordinary transcendent level for too long, but I don't want to listen to my family... no, I don't want to worship those gods, so the only way to advance to the next level right now is through the blasphemous elixir!"
The man who claimed to have clues about the secret medicine was wearing a painted mask. Seeing the boy's anxious expression, he calmly said:
"That's normal. If you don't want to go through the proper channels, using blasphemous elixirs to steal the power of the gods is indeed a way to advance to the next level."
“I will tell you the clues to the purifying potion, as long as you give me that amber crystal.”
"Of course! Of course! I can't wait to become an entry-level expert."
"Calm down, calm down, the transaction will take place after the party!"
Seeing the boy about to run towards the masked man, the proprietress was speechless and immediately stopped him.
Under the landlady's scolding, the boy obediently sat back down, but judging from his eager look, he seemed impatient to wait until the party was over.
Through this conversation, Lin Tian roughly understood that the Blasphemous Mystic Medicine was a method to advance to the extraordinary level through unconventional means.
As learned from the previous extraordinary manual, the only way to become a rank extraordinary is to believe in a god and then have the god grant you power to enter the rank.
What we've learned from their conversation is that there's a special medicine that can bypass this process and allow one to directly advance to the next level. Moreover, it seems they're talking about a medicine that steals the power of the gods, which is even more shocking.
It seems this world is not simple, and Lin Tian became even more cautious.
Time slowly passed, and the next two items were not so impressive. One was a weapon, and the other was a piece of armor, both of which were low-grade bronze. Although it was unknown how effective they would be in actual combat, Lin Tian did not pay special attention to the weapon because the system could forge equipment. In the end, these two items were bought by others.
Since it wasn't an auction, there weren't many items on display, and these were all contributed by a small number of members present. After the items were sold out, the event moved on to a gathering for information exchange.
