Age of Evolution#-Chapter 623 - 625: The Value of Talent

Chapter 623: Chapter 625: The Value of Talent

The areas in the Original World are often unbelievably vast, like the Wood King Mansion. It sounds like just a mansion, but in reality, its diameter is three times that of the Milky Way, covering thirty thousand light years!

Thankfully, after years of accumulation in the Original World, numerous teleportation arrays have been laid out. Otherwise Lin Zhen likely would have no way to leave the Wood King Mansion for the time being.

Moreover, the teleportation arrays in the Original World charge hefty fees, leaving a deep impression on Lin Zhen.

Taking the teleportation directly from Wood King Mansion to Xianle County costs ten million for each person.

At this moment, Lin Zhen considered taking Lin Feng with him into the Dark Star Space.

But after hesitating, Lin Zhen set aside this idea. Dark Star Space held too many secrets. If he could avoid revealing it, he should.

Knowing Lin Feng had no money, just as Lin Zhen was preparing to pay, Lin Feng suddenly showed his identity to the overseer of the teleportation array.

Then, both Lin Zhen and Lin Feng were allowed to teleport for free. As the Wood King Mansion’s only Longevity Realm martial artist, Water Mirror and his family could use all public facilities of the Mansion for free. As his son, Lin Feng could also bring one person with him.

“Boss, I now get that you really do treat me well. You were willing to pay ten million for me. I did not make you my big brother in vain.”

With a flash of light, both had arrived at the Earth Realm of Xianle County. Lin Feng, with a face full of gratitude, spoke to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen thought to himself, “If it were not for the fact that the Dark Star Space can’t be revealed, I’d be damned if I paid ten million for you.” But of course, he couldn’t say this aloud. Instead, he asked expectantly, “Can you use the teleportation arrays for free?”

“No no no, only the ones in the Wood King Mansion are free. Building a teleportation array costs a fortune, and my father’s influence is not that big. Outside of the Wood King Mansion, it doesn’t work.”

Lin Zhen nodded. This made sense. But once he arrives in Xianle County, he is confident that he will be able to earn money.

Compared to the Wood King Mansion, Xianle County is even more enormous. After leaving the teleportation point, both men started riding towards the Alchemist Guild.

The Guild Union is located in the northeast of Xianle County City. Not only is there the Alchemist Guild, but there are also the guilds of other major organizations.

Lin Feng browsed the information about the Alchemist Guild on the Dimensional Universe as they walked, chattering nonstop to Lin Zhen. freewebnσvel.cøm

“Boss, the Alchemist Guild in Xianle County has hundreds of alchemists, including the chairman and vice-chairman, who are both sixth-grade alchemists, along with dozens of fifth-tiered elders, hundreds of deacons, and several low-level alchemists. The chairman is Huangfu Qi and the vice-chairman is Thomas.”

“I already know all this,” Lin Zhen replied. He had done his research before coming.

“Hehe, let me tell you something that you definitely don’t know. Among the Xianle County residents, Huangfu Qi and Thomas are not the strongest alchemists.”

“Oh, then who’s the strongest alchemist? Don’t tell me there’s a seventh-grade alchemist here?”

“There aren’t any seventh-grade alchemists, but there is one guy who is both a sixth-grade alchemist and a sixth-grade Dark Star Alchemist.”

“Dark Alchemist?”

“Yes, Dark Alchemists practice evil techniques which can refine some crooked, weird elixirs. They are also very powerful.”

Lin Zhen thought to himself. Xu Xingyao could also be considered a dark alchemist. His true alchemy level is at the peak of the fourth grade, but the technique he uses to reach the fifth grade is not respectable at all. Strictly speaking, Xu Xingyao is a fifth-grade dark alchemist, as well as a fourth-grade alchemist.

“What you may not know is that this person controls forty percent of Xianle County’s elixir market. He himself is a peak world king ranker, and it’s rumored that a Longevity Expert backs him. But the Longevity Warriors don’t manage affairs directly, they leave everything to him. This guy is super rich!”

“What’s his name?”

“Gu Yunting, a man who is both righteous and wicked. People say that if he didn’t have to deal with a Dark Alchemy Skill and business, he would’ve already become a seventh-grade alchemist. His talent definitely surpasses both Huangfu Qi and Thomas.”

Lin Zhen memorized his name. He wanted to enter the elixir market, and there might be a chance to interact with this person.

After two hours of flying, they finally arrived at the northeast sector of Xianle County.

The Roc bird descended from the sky, and both men arrived at the entrance of the Alchemist Guild.

A third-grade alchemist and a fourth-grade alchemist, they walked into the Alchemist Guild confidently. The guards did not stop them, because the scanning system at the door could easily identify their identities. As they were alchemists, they were part of the guild and didn’t need to be stopped.

Lin Feng strutted as he walked because as he passed by the entrance, the people lined up at the door for miles to seek elixirs looked at him with reverence.

In Lin Zhen’s ear, he even said, “Boss, you see, they all admire me as a world king.”

“Bullshit! You can try talking to them and see what they call you. Here in Xianle County, being a World King means nothing.”

Lin Feng, feeling somewhat disgruntled, greeted a passerby. The passerby immediately replied in a flustered manner, “Hello Mr. Alchemist, how do you do!”

“Boss, they really don’t care about my World King status.”

Lin Zhen smiled and led him into the guild.

“Hello, respected Lin Zhen Deacon. How may I assist you?” A beautiful blond woman greeted Lin Zhen with a smile. She seemed to not notice Lin Feng, who was trailing behind Lin Zhen with his chest puffed out and belly sticking out.

“Yes, help me contact Mr. Thomas. Let him know that Lin Zhen is here for a visit.”

“Alright. Please wait a moment.”

The lady immediately made a connection through the Dimensional Universe and then said to Lin Zhen, “Mr. Deacon, Vice President Thomas is waiting for you in his building. You can go over there, but your followers are not allowed into the Vice President’s yard without permission.”

“Wh… what follower? I am a World King! Have you ever seen a World King being a follower?” Lin Feng was furious.

“I’ve seen too many. Every elder in our association has two peak Level Nine World Kings as followers. However, a World King of your level is indeed the first I’ve seen…,” The girl giggled with her hand over her mouth.

Lin Feng was choked by her words and looked at Lin Zhen helplessly.

Before Lin Zhen could answer, the lady smiled slightly, “You can rest in Deacon Lin Zhen’s alchemy room.”

Lin Zhen was taken aback, “I have an alchemy room?”

“Of course, each Deacon-level has their own separate alchemy and rest rooms, as Deacons would have two Domain King level bodyguards. It’s quite common even though you brought a World King.”

“Where is my alchemy room?”

“On the second floor of this building, Room 3309, as Vice President instructed earlier.”

The Alchemist Guild’s building is incredibly spacious, with thousands of rooms on just one floor.

“Take care, Lin Feng. You wait in my room for me. I’ll come and find you after I meet with the Vice President.”

Lin Feng nodded gloomily, as the son of Longevity Experts and a World King who is now also an alchemist, he felt underrated for the first time.

Lin Zhen left the building alone. Thomas’s yard was behind the building. Not only him, but every elder had their own yard and building. As the Vice President, his yard is even larger and more luxurious.

Upon arriving at the entrance, the door automatically opened, and a virtual arrow in the void guided Lin Zhen’s way.

As he slowly walked along, there were pavilions, gardens, bamboo paths, the environment was stunning.

“How luxurious! They even use Night Pearls for lighting in corners.”

There was a splash of water, and a white dragon fish leaped out of the lake next to it.

Lin Zhen had seen this fish at the Wood King Mansion, each sold for a hundred thousand, but he didn’t expect to see it in the lake.

What was even more shocking was when a golden bird suddenly dived down, caught the dragon fish, and flew away. It seems like it was dinner time.

“That’s… It’s a Roc! And it has evolved further? I can’t believe this hundred thousand per fish is used to feed birds!”

Lin Zhen was speechless, the alchemists are indeed very wealthy.

A marker in the void kept guiding Lin Zhen through the garden until he reached a gigantic villa located deep inside the garden.

The door automatically opened, and Lin Zhen entered the villa.

Inside, a black-haired woman was sitting in the hall, savoring red wine. Seeing Lin Zhen coming in, she raised her glass to him, “Welcome, young man.”

“Um… hello, ma’am.”

“Hello, the weather’s nice today, I hope you’re in a good mood.”

Lin Zhen walked forward somewhat mechanically because he noticed that this woman in black was a warrior of the Longevity Realm!

“I met another Longevity Expert, and it’s a woman…”

Lin Zhen followed the marker up to the third floor and arrived in front of a door.

“Welcome, Lin Zhen. The Vice president is waiting for you.”

When the second Longevity Warrior appeared, Lin Zhen felt somewhat numb from the shock.

After entering the room, a medicinal fragrance hit his nose. Thomas, sitting behind a table, looked up at Lin Zhen and smiled, “Make yourself at home, I’ll be done here soon.”

After speaking, he looked at the man who had opened the door, “Alright, there’s nothing to do here for now, you can go downstairs and have a drink with your wife.”

The man in black glanced at Lin Zhen and sensed that Lin Zhen couldn’t pose any threat to Thomas, so he turned around, closed the door, and left.

“Mr. Thomas, those two people…,”

“Oh! They are assigned by the association. Each sixth-grade alchemist is provided with two Longevity Warriors as bodyguards because, in the association’s eyes, the value of a sixth-grade alchemist exceeds that of a Longevity Warrior.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen’s mind buzzed, as he learned how valuable an alchemist is.

Even more importantly, he realized how absurd his Black Hole Beast soul-searching talent is!

He originally thought that after being reborn for a thousand years, he would have no advantage. But he now understood that rebirth isn’t the greatest advantage, his Black Hole Beast’s bloodline is his greatest fortune!
