Chapter 37: The Ancient Ones’ Assessment

The drawing of the inscription had reached its peak. With the help of the rich natural elements here, he successfully broke through to become a Rank 2 Wizard.

There was no point in drawing anymore. Without the system’s analysis, he would need at least a week to draw an inscription.

Edward calmly analyzed the situation, then shook his head. This would be bad for him. After all, a night’s lodging was expensive.

It was not good to waste so many natural elements. Perhaps he should use these natural elements to refine some potions to prepare for the Ancient Ones’ test.

Moreover, he could also refine some Meditation Potions and sell them in the shops on the first level of Ouroboros. Such a large organization would definitely buy it for a good price.

It was also an indirect way to earn some extra money.

Through the analysis provided by the system, Edward learned the conditions for joining the organization.

The conditions were: Firstly, his Wizard Meditation Technique had to be proper. Whether it was a White Wizard or a Dark Wizard, it was fine as long as they did not have any strange meditation techniques, such as the Old Ones’ meditation technique.

The second condition was to become a Rank 2 Wizard.

Edward had both conditions fulfilled, but he did not choose to join like this.

He wanted to get his Alchemist identity recognized by the Ancient Ones. After joining the Ancient Ones, he would also be able to enter Ouroboros with the certificate from them.

Furthermore, his own potion making abilities was not bad, and his talent could be remedied through the system. Joining the Ancient Ones was a piece of cake.

Through the new alchemy formula unlocked by the system, Edward started researching new potions.

Explosive Flames Potion!

Edward etched the formula in his mind through the system and closed his eyes to accept the information.

There were still two more days until the Ancient Ones’ selection, which was more than enough time.

He could even practice a few more bottles of Meditation Potion to exchange for some Elemental Crystals.

Alchemists with high-level potions were definitely going to receive bonus points.

That night, there were deafening explosions coming from Edward’s beautiful villa!

Some could even see a few streaks of fire soaring into the sky!

——————

The next morning, Edward walked out of the room. He had been experimenting for an entire day, and with his superior spiritual power, three days and three nights without sleep was nothing to him.

Along the way, there were many apprentices who seemed to be busy with their own business.

After all, this was the base camp of Ouroboros. Every wizard here had their own matters to attend to, such as improving their strength and ensuring security…

The six major forces from the Eye of Storms all had people stationed in Ouroboros. On the surface, it was to ensure the relationship between the six forces. Of course, they could also be doing illegal things under the table.

The Ancient Ones’ registration was at the center of the second floor. As an ancient neutral faction that had existed for tens of thousands of years, every faction naturally welcomed them.

There were even quite a number of faction managers who joined the Ancient Ones.

In the center of the second floor was a teleportation formation that connected the upper and lower floors. This was also the place with the most people. There were stone golems everywhere.

The security issue was clearly ensured. Of course, this had nothing to do with Edward. He was now going to register for the Ancient Ones’ preliminary test!

People were already coming and going in the center. It looked very lively. Many apprentices worked hard as they shouted promotions:

“The pharmaceutical shop Kakar from the first floor has a new product!”

“Of all the staff forging shops on the first level, please identify Zela’s shop and get a 30% discount…”

Even wizard clothing was custom-made, and there were already many male wizards who took the clothes from the drawing room and excitedly went to customize them!

Edward was also interested. Just because he could not use it now did not mean he could not use it in the future!

Ducas Shop!

Indeed, the system recorded it down…

At that moment, a loud announcement caught Edward’s attention.

“The Selection of the Ancient Ones has begun. If you have confidence in your abilities, please come here to register!”

There were already quite a few wizards lining up there, and Edward went up to join them at the end.

Soon, it was Edward’s turn to fill out the registration form. He had chosen to take the test as an alchemist!

Under the gaze of the Apprentice Wizard, Edward obtained his alchemist serial number.

No. 2!

In other words, only two people had signed up for the alchemist position so far!

After receiving the number, it was time to wait for tomorrow’s test.

It was time for Edward to head to the lower level through the teleportation formation and find a potion shop to sell the potions he had stockpiled.

With a flash of white light, Edward took the magic elevator to the first floor, which was truly a shopping district!

Through the system’s indicators, Edward could see the potion shop’s logo.

After a ten-minute journey, Edward arrived at the potion shop and followed the wizards who were going in and out of the shop.

“Esteemed Wizard, may I ask what potion you would like to purchase?”

Looking at the attendant’s smiling face, Edward asked curiously, “May I ask if you have any excellent Meditation Potions here?”

“Sorry, I’m sorry sir, but we don’t have such high-grade potions here. Perhaps you should go to the auction house to take a look!” The waiter replied awkwardly.

“So, do you accept Meditation Potions here?” Edward asked with a grin.

How hard was it to pay the housing rental fees?

“Sir Wizard, you… you mean you have a Meditation Potion for sale?”

After getting Edward’s approval, the waiter quickly looked for his boss. He was not qualified to interfere in such matters.

Soon, the owner of the shop arrived. He looked much better in terms of demeanor and appearance than the owner of the shop in Ouroboros City.

About five minutes later, Edward left the shop with the bag of Elemental Crystals under the boss’s respectful gaze.

He had earned another 10,000 Elemental Crystals this time!

Today was another day of being troubled by too much money!

Edward bought some materials for making the Explosive Flames Potion and returned to his small luxurious villa under the darkening sky!

He would increase the proficiency of making the Explosive Flames Potion tonight. By tomorrow’s selection, he would at least reach a certain level of familiarity.

————

The next morning, after a night of explosions and fire, Edward successfully refined two bottles of Explosive Flames Potion.

With the enhancement of the system, he was getting better and better at it!
