Chapter 34: The Largest Pharmaceutical Store, Shock from the Boss
Edward frowned upon entering the city.
The death aura here was too heavy, such that he felt slightly uncomfortable.
He was essentially a Curse Wizard, not an Necromancer. The difference between the origin source of curses and the source of death was simply too great. They were not even close.
Not to mention that as a Sky Knight, his own vitality was very strong. It was very incompatible with the death energy brought by the Necromancers, and it could even be said to be the opposite.
Apart from the natives, Necromancers were the most common people in Ouroboros City.
As expected, the old man Edward met in the shop ahead was a Necromancer who had withdrawn from Ouroboros.
Furthermore, his bloodline had been modified.
After entering the city gate, Edward rented a room at an inn with gold coins and used the system to scan the surrounding shops.
They successfully discovered a large pharmacy.
Then, he went to the market to collect some materials related to concocting potions.
He had to pass through a teleportation formation to get from Ouroboros City to the base camp, which was also the protection measure they had.
In the next few days, Edward went back to his old profession in his room and concocted potions.
For the current him, concocting potions was a piece of cake.
He spent three days refining five bottles of Meditation Potion.
This was far beyond Edward’s expectations. With the continuous optimization of the system and Edward’s gradual proficiency in techniques, the time needed to concoct the potions was also gradually decreasing.
In the biggest pharmacy in Ouroboros City, the people entering and exiting were all wizards dressed in gorgeous clothes. They looked either rich or noble.
After all, most wizards who could buy potions did not lack money.
The stone wall in front of the shop was filled with the aura of undead. The regular customers here were obviously Necromancers.
Edward could not help but frown at the aura, which affected his mood greatly and filled his mind with the aura of rot and decay.
Forget it, he just had to assimilate with the culture here.
Edward walked in with his backpack full of bottles.
“Esteemed Wizard, what would you like to purchase?”
As soon as he entered the shop, a waiter exuding an aura of death walked over. He looked very young, but his figure was very small. He was an Apprentice Wizard of the Necromancer meditation technique.
Edward endured his discomfort and said, “I have some potions that I want to sell. Can I do that here?”
The waiter was stunned for a moment. Almost all the customers were here to buy potions, and it was his first time seeing someone like Edward selling potions.
“Sir, please wait a moment. I have to ask my boss about this!”
Edward nodded.
Soon, a middle-aged man who was dressed in a gorgeous outfit and exuded a cold aura with the smell of death walked out.
There seemed to be no muscle tissue on his body, only a layer of wrinkled skin covering his bones.
This image was a common problem for all Necromancers.
Under the influence of the Necromancer meditation technique, their bodies were also constantly corroded by death.
“Esteemed guest, please show us your goods so that we can evaluate and quote you a price!” A hoarse voice came from his tiny throat.
Edward did not waste any time and opened his bag to reveal various colored potions.
As the potions were placed on the jade table bottle by bottle, the boss’s cold eyes gradually became more and more surprised. In the end, along with the appearance of the Meditation Potion, his face was filled with shock.
“These… These are… five bottles of top quality Meditation Potion without any impurities!?”
As all the potions were presented, the boss introduced himself enthusiastically.
The biggest pharmacy in the city of Ouroboros was owned by a person called Carson, a Rank 2 Necromancer from Ouroboros.
While Carson introduced himself, Edward secretly began to let the system analyze him.
[System prompt: Name: Carson, Strength: Rank 2 Necromancer, Spiritual Power: 10+, Constitution: 7, Undead Erosion: 31%]
Ever since entering Ouroboros City, Edward had been using the system to test the wizards he met, and the majority of them were corroded by the undead power.
These wizards had undergone the sacrificial ritual of the undead.
After this kind of invasive undead ritual, their entire body would be very compatible with the death element, which was similar to a different kind of Spirit Enlightenment.
Carson took the list of potions from Edward and checked it. The fire in his eyes burned brighter.
He had been selling potions for many years, and there was no way he would mistake those premium Meditation Potions. Such popular goods among wizards only appeared at auction houses.
Every auction would be conducted with the most popular hard currency among the wizards.
Elemental Crystals that were the crystallization of the natural elements were used as the medium of exchange.
The standard price of a bottle of potion was in the thousands.
Most of them were priceless.
Such high-quality potions would only appear less than once per year in a remote city like the Eye of Storms which was nowhere close to the center of the Central Continent.
Judging from Edward’s appearance and attire, could he be a young noble from the Central Continent?
The existence of an alchemist was very lacking here. Often, alchemists with secret recipes would choose to go to a larger area.
Even the goods in their stores were transported from afar for a long period of time before being stored and sold.
Suppressing his shock, Carson asked cautiously, “Excuse me, these potions are…”
Looking at Edward’s young and handsome face, an absurd truth appeared in his heart.
“These potions were made by me. Is there an issue with the price?”
Edward gave him the answer he did not want to believe, but it was very likely to be true.
Carson had an expression of envy mixed with jealousy as he said, “Respected Alchemist, regarding the price, apart from the Meditation Potion, the rest are common goods, so the price is very negotiable!”
“Regarding this, we want you to join our pharmacy as a shareholder. What do you think?”
Edward directly refused, “Sorry, Boss Carson. I’ll be heading to the territory of Ouroboros soon, so I won’t stay here for long.”
Carson did not look disappointed. After all, this was an alchemist. Why would he stay in such a small place?
The conversation ended there.
The transaction began!
