Age of Evolution

Chapter 619: Chapter 621: Three Rewards (5 more explosive updates!)

After Lin Zhen walked out the door, Mu Huaiyu followed in a miserable state.

“Lin Zhen! Why did you kick me?”

“You blocked my way, of course I had to kick you!”

Mu Huaiyu was so angry that his teeth itched: “Bastard, even if you got first place, I am still the Crown Prince of the Wood King Mansion. How dare you treat me like this? Don’t forget, even if you got first place, you’re nothing more than a guest.”

“Haha! What do you want me to do then? In this virtual space, fighting and killing each other is normal, let alone I just kicked you. As for being a guest… A guest is a guest, willing to stay in your Wood King Mansion or not, I can leave anytime. What can you do, bite me?”

Lin Zhen’s tough attitude made Mu Huaiyu hesitate. He wanted to make a move against Lin Zhen, but the trial was over and there was no point in fighting now.

More importantly, he was not confident in defeating Lin Zhen. Although he had 600,000 Star Power, Lin Zhen’s Star Power seemed to be even stronger than his.

Because Lin Zhen had eliminated the Mirage King, the martial artists behind him quickly passed the tower and rushed out one by one.

After ten people came out, the trial ended. Those behind didn’t need to compete and were directly withdrawn from the space. The ranking of the people behind didn’t matter, the Wood King Mansion only took the top ten.

When the trial ended, Wood King Mu Jingshan appeared in the Dimensional Universe space with an ugly expression.

After saying a few conventional words, he turned around and left, leaving Mu En to continue speaking.

“For the top ten, the Wood King Mansion will contact you when needed. You just wait for the notice patiently. After a month, you can receive your salary. If you want to come to the Wood King Mansion, we provide free food and accommodation.”

After finishing, Mu En also hurriedly left, showing no interest in this guest exam at all.

Seeing that the Wood Prince had only won second place, the other martial artists vaguely guessed the reason and whispered to each other.

Lin Zhen knew it would end like this and didn’t expect Wood King Mansion to give him much reward. What he cared about was the reward from the Dimensional Universe Company.

Lin Zhen could receive three rewards: one for getting first place and two for killing Galaxy Beasts.

The Dimensional Universe Company handled things very efficiently. Just after the trial had ended, Lin Zhen received a notification from them.

“Please come to the Dimensional Universe Company’s Xianle County Branch.”

Lin Zhen immediately used the Dimensional Universe to teleport to the Xianle County Branch.

In the real world, the Dimensional Universe Company only had one headquarters, located in the Da Qin Empire.

As for branches, they only existed in the virtual world and were not set up in real locations anywhere else.

After arriving at the branch, someone immediately came to receive Lin Zhen.

The receptionist was not a real person, but a robot. The branch was not as luxurious as he had imagined, but instead was a simple and spacious house.

“Hello Lin Zhen, in view of your performance in the virtual space, the Dimensional Universe Company has decided to issue rewards, please check.”

“Ding~! Because you killed a Galaxy Beast in the third-level virtual space, you are rewarded with a cash prize of 30 million.”

“Ding~! Because you killed a Galaxy Beast in the ninth-level virtual space, you are rewarded with a cash prize of 90 million!”

“Ding~! Because you are ranked first in the assessment, you are eligible for the Alchemist Special Training Quota. Please proceed to Xianle County’s Alchemist Guild within three months and request guidance from an Alchemist who is two grades higher than you.”

After the three rewards were issued, Lin Zhen was automatically teleported out.

The bank card received two consecutive prompt messages, two cash deposits arriving, one of 30 million and one of 90 million, totaling 120 million.

Originally, the Galaxy Beasts had cash rewards, which meant Mu Huaiyu also had 60 million.

It was all thanks to the last Galaxy Beast being a Mirage; if it had been a combat-type, Lin Zhen definitely wouldn’t have been able to defeat it.

Moreover, Lin Zhen didn’t expect that by getting first place, he would qualify for the Alchemist Guild’s special training quota.

Finding an Alchemist two grades higher than himself as a teacher sounded like a great idea, but if he passed the fourth or even fifth-grade Alchemist assessment, would there be a sixth or seventh-grade super Alchemist to teach him?

A friend request came through the Dimensional Universe, and it was Mu Huaiyu.

Lin Zhen also wanted to know what this guy had to say, so he clicked on accept.

“Lin Zhen! You were just an insignificant ant from the New World who unexpectedly ruined my plans. You must have known about the Alchemist Guild’s reward to do this, right? But don’t be too proud, I can also get the Alchemist Guild’s quota through other means. When we meet again, you, who know nothing about the way of Dan, better give up now, or I’ll step on you—stomp you to death! Crush you so you’ll never be resurrected! Hahaha!”

Lin Zhen hung up the Dimensional Universe communication. He had no intention of offending anyone, but this whole incident was a series of misfortunes. Mu En tried to harm him in secret, but in the end, he ruined Mu Huaiyu’s plans.

However, if Mu Huaiyu really wanted to teach him a lesson on the way of Dan, Lin Zhen was looking forward to it.

Now that Lin Zhen had money in hand, he could finally start carrying out many of his plans.

During this period, Lin Zhen had a rough understanding of the Original World, especially after absorbing Xu Xingyao’s memories, it was as if he had lived another life.

He wanted to find Feng Qingluan, but the Phoenix clan’s residence was located in the Da Tang Empire, which was also an incredibly powerful country. The Phoenix clan resided on Bailu Mountain in Da Tang, and was not strictly under the jurisdiction of Da Tang, but independent.

The distance between Bailu Mountain and Lin Zhen’s location spanned millions of light years, and getting there was definitely not an easy task.

Lin Zhen calculated his journey and found that he would need to use seven or eight teleportation arrays, with several long-distance teleportation arrays costing billions!

In addition, Lin Zhen also needed to have stamina, as he would have to walk for several months on the road.

In short, it was a long journey, and if Lin Zhen wanted to go, he must have everything fully prepared.

Before that, Lin Zhen needed to earn more money and increase his strength; otherwise, he would not be able to protect himself in the face of accidents, let alone protect others.

Lin Zhen immediately purchased several medicinal materials within the Dimensional Universe.

Ice Dragon Bone, used for refining cold attribute elixirs to expel toxins.

Five-Color Grass, used to keep the elixir cool and refreshing.

Hundred Flower Dew, used for elixir refining.

Lin Zhen had long set his eyes on these items. Xu Xingyao had previously obtained a Dan prescription called the Hundred Flower Pill, which was specifically used to expel Dan poison.

However, this elixir required a cold-natured Alchemist, and such Alchemists were extremely rare.

This was because 99% of Alchemists relied on fire, and those who relied on cold energy were rare. Very few people would take this path, as it had a narrow future.

Even those who did couldn’t do it well, so the price of detoxifying medicines remained high.

Lin Zhen wanted to refine this elixir, and as long as he succeeded, he would have a continuous flow of wealth. Although the demand for Juyuan powder was the highest, the competition was greater. For this elixir, the market was almost empty.

Lin Zhen bought a lot of three types of medicinal materials, spending more than five million.

He planted the Five-Color Grass seeds himself and stocked up a large amount of Hundred Flower Dew and Ice Dragon Bone.

Once he acquired the materials, Lin Zhen began a long process of alchemy.

Failure, failure, failure, success, failure, success, success…!

These elixirs were not considered high-level, and the general Alchemists usually had a success rate of 30% to 40% when refining them.

However, Lin Zhen’s mastery over the properties of medicines became increasingly refined as time went on, and his techniques became more proficient. Gradually, he found the feeling of being a Fifth Grade Alchemist.

As he practiced refining low-level elixirs, his success rate gradually increased from continuous failure to 60%.

After a month of not leaving his home and spending nearly ten million, Lin Zhen had trained both the Juyuan Powder and Hundred Flower Pill used in the Star System Stage to perfection.

A nearly 70% success rate filled Lin Zhen with confidence.

The huge amount of money was exchanged for Lin Zhen’s accumulation of a large number of medicinal items. He already had more than 800 bottles of Juyuan Powder in stock and more than 100 bottles of Hundred Flower Pills.

“That’s almost enough. The market price for these two kinds of pills, Juyuan Powder is about 30,000 per bottle, and Hundred Flower Pill is around 100,000. With my pills, if I put the Fourth Grade Alchemist title on it, I can sell it for over 30 million!”

“This is not counting the pills I ruined in practice. Indeed, being an Alchemist is a very profitable profession.”

However, Lin Zhen didn’t want to sell them just yet. Though his elixirs were undoubtedly high-grade, he had not yet earned the title of Alchemist, and in the Original World, no one would buy elixirs from someone without a title.

So he needed to obtain an Alchemist qualification first.

To obtain a qualification, there was a branch of the Alchemist Guild in the Wood King Mansion area.

The branch president was a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, representing the highest level in the Wood King Mansion area.

“Although I inherited Xu Xingyao’s memories, my current alchemy level isn’t up to Fifth Grade because a Fifth Grade Alchemist must be able to refine high-level, high-grade elixirs, such as the Juyuan Powder used in the Star Domain Stage or other different medicines.”

“Xu Xingyao was able to achieve the Fifth Grade because he could refine Flesh and Blood Golden Pills. The disappeared members of the Hometown Association were killed by him for refining elixirs, which falls under evil Dan techniques, so I definitely can’t use that skill for the assessment.”

Lin Zhen figured that obtaining Fourth Grade was his current limit. Even so, obtaining Fourth Grade was no small feat given that achieving success in alchemy required thousands of years of accumulation. It was common to see people older than a few thousand years who were still only at Third Grade Alchemy.

To pursue Fifth Grade, Lin Zhen needed to acquire a relatively precious Dan prescription and cultivate it.

Once again, he accessed the Dimensional Universe, deciding to buy a tool for transportation.
