Chapter 19: Alchemy Medal

“Since you want to buy the elixir formula, I am very familiar with it! Let me lead the way, okay, boss?”

Leah cooed as she shook Mas’s arm.

An elf who knew how to wheedle was really irresistible.

At that moment, a soft voice came from behind. “Ahem, Leah, you can’t be too willful. You’ll cause trouble for the boss.”

Mas looked towards the source of the voice. It turned out that Sha You felt that Leah’s words were too rude as a servant, so she reminded her.

“Alright, Sha You, you’re not feeling well, so don’t talk too hard. Leah was too excited to see that you’re about to be cured, and it just so happens that this is my first time in the capital, so I’m not very familiar with the Alchemist Guild. Leah led the way out of goodwill, so let her lead the way.”

“Yay!”

Just like that, Mas and the other three followed Leah into the Alchemist Guild and entered the alchemy formula section with her introduction.

As Leah was a regular here, she was very knowledgeable about the Alchemy Guild and explained the rules to Mas.

The Alchemist Guild was divided into three areas.

The first area was a quest area for customers to issue alchemy quests or pay for alchemy materials.

The second was the trading area where alchemists specifically used items to exchange for items, and the Alchemist Guild as the intermediate guarantor.

The third type was the area where Mas and the others were heading to. There were all kinds of alchemy items or formulas for sale.

Mas walked to the front desk of the alchemy recipe area in the sales area and saw a mature rabbit-eared lady sitting on the stage in the hall. He went up to ask about matters regarding the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir. “I’m sorry to disturb you, beautiful lady. Do you have the formula for the 5-star high grade Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir?”

The rabbit-eared lady, who was concentrating on her work, was interrupted by a sudden question. She was a little unhappy, but she quickly got used to it because it was also one part of her work.

Looking at the five-man team of Mas, he lowered his head and flipped through the information. “Hello, Sir, we do have this formula for sale here!”

Mas and the others were overjoyed, while Leah asked eagerly, “Sister, how much is one serving?”

“I’m sorry, can you show me your alchemy medal first?” asked the rabbit-eared lady.

“Alchemy medal?”

Mas was puzzled. After so many days of systematic learning, the alchemy medal had never been mentioned.

The rabbit-eared lady could not help but feel disappointed. The person in front of her was obviously a novice alchemist. How unlucky.

“It’s like this, sir. It’s probably your first time in our Alchemy Guild, so you don’t know the rules of our Alchemy Guild.”

“The alchemy medal is the identity symbol of every alchemist. In the Alchemist Guild, whether it is issuing missions, accepting missions, carrying out items transactions, or just buying alchemy items or formulas, we need the alchemy medal specially issued by the Alchemy Guild.”

Out of professional ethics, the bunny-eared girl slowly explained the issue of the alchemy medal to Mas and the rest with a smile.

Upon hearing this, even the good-tempered Mas could not help but frown.

He also did not expect that purchasing a high-level Level 5 alchemy formula would be so troublesome.

Forget it. I have to get this alchemy formula today no matter what.

Mas sighed and looked at the rabbit-eared lady again. “As you said, ma’am, how should we obtain the guild’s alchemy medal?”

The rabbit-eared lady seemed to be used to this question that Mas raised. She instinctively said, “It’s like this, sir. Our guild’s alchemy medal is based on your contribution points. You can receive our guild’s alchemy medal if you hand in missions or provide alchemy recipes for free.

Moreover, the alchemy medal was divided into the following levels: Apprentice, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Elite, and Master!

The two levels of apprenticeship and apprenticeship could be awarded with medals by handing in missions, while those above the intermediate level could only obtain contribution points by selling alchemy recipes!

For example, the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir that you wish to exchange for can only be exchanged with an intermediate alchemy medal.”

“Gasp! The Alchemist Guild is really daring to use such a method of monopolizing the market!” Mas exclaimed. It was not without reason that the Alchemist Guild had opened up the entire Rotterdam Continent.

Just like how he wanted to exchange for the Flaming Soul Restoring Elixir, he would have to pay for the alchemy formula in exchange for contribution points.

In this way, it would repeat over and over again, forming a virtuous circle. The Alchemist Guild would have more and more alchemy recipes of all kinds, and they could sell each alchemy recipe to alchemists or others in need in exchange for a large amount of profit. Some alchemy recipes of higher levels could even increase the exchange level to increase the difficulty of obtaining them, forcing the alchemists who needed to sell new alchemy recipes to obtain higher-level alchemy medals.

In other words, the Alchemist Guild had the right to explain everything. If you don’t want to buy it, then get lost. There was no other way. Mas was inferior to others now, so he could only follow other people’s rules. Unless he had the ability to look down on the rules, he would have to obediently accept it.

Mas’ eyes kept flickering. It was obvious that he had already started thinking. He roughly estimated that he currently had about twenty alchemy recipes. Other than the Red Crystal Gargoyle, the Bone Breastplate, and the Emerald Green Robe, the rest were all small items that he had casually created using low star materials and the Creator’s Alchemy Platform. They did not mean much, but they were alchemy recipes after all, and he could exchange them for some contribution points.

“Miss, do you have a pen and paper?”

When he said this, even Mas felt a little awkward.

Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere was not right, the rabbit-eared lady took the initiative to smile sweetly at Mas to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere. She walked into the room and fetched a quill and a roll of parchment for him.

Mas then wrote the twenty or so alchemy recipes that were not worth much.

After half an hour, Mas handed the parchment paper filled with alchemy recipes to the rabbit-eared lady. Apart from the alchemy ingredients needed, there was also the refining method and the effects of the items.

Otherwise, writing random alchemical materials could be exchanged for a large amount of contribution. The people from the Alchemist Guild were not fools. This obviously would not work.

Looking at the rabbit-eared lady taking the parchment, Mas crossed his arms in front of his chest and asked indifferently, “How many contribution points can these alchemy recipes be exchanged for?”

“I’m sorry, but I have to hand these alchemy recipes over to someone who specializes in appraising them. After all, I don’t really understand them. Please wait!”

After saying that, the rabbit-eared lady took the parchment and looked a little surprised. After explaining politely, she turned around and walked into the iron door behind her.

Not long after, the rabbit-eared lady walked out. She looked at Mas apologetically and said cautiously, “Sir, I’m sorry. Just now, our Alchemist Guild’s special appraiser checked. Although there are more than 20 alchemy recipes on the parchment, most of them are not very valuable, so you can only obtain 1,200 contribution points.

You have 1,200 contribution points and you can only exchange them for a basic alchemy medal which costs 1,000 contribution points. As for an intermediate alchemy medal, you need 3,000 contribution points!”

“Eh?”

Mas was speechless. Although he was already mentally prepared, when he heard the actual number, he sighed helplessly and rubbed his temples with his slender fingers.

He still lacked 1800 contribution points.

Mas needed to sell one or even two of the three alchemy recipes!

In less than a moment, Mas had an answer. He absolutely could not sell a biological alchemy formula like the Red Crystal Gargoyle. If he dared to sell it, the Alchemist Guild might not be able to take it. Moreover, this was the only alchemical creature formula that he currently possessed.

Mas was still hoping to use the Red Crystal Gargoyle to earn the Storm Empire’s war money.

Although the Bone Breastplate was a three-star high-tier alchemy item, in Mas’ opinion, a Bone Breastplate with excellent anti-magic properties was extremely valuable.

No matter which country had it, if they equipped it with their own troops, it would definitely increase the survival rate of the cannon fodder soldiers on the battlefield. It was a great killing weapon!

As long as there was a large-scale war on the Rotterdam Continent, Mas could use large numbers of Bone Breastplates to make these warring countries rich.

The only thing he could choose for himself was this Emerald Green Robe. According to his original plan, this Emerald Green Robe was to be used to trade with Belek and also to gain a favor.

However, it was impossible for him to back down now. In order to obtain this intermediate alchemy medal, Mas had no choice but to sell this alchemy formula to the Alchemy Guild to obtain it.

“I’m sorry, ma’am. Could you give yourself a few more pieces of paper?”

Mas asked the smiling rabbit-eared lady again.

When the rabbit-eared lady heard this, her face lit up with joy. This was a glorious achievement. She nodded to indicate that she heard it.

She immediately returned to the room and took out a few pieces of goatskin parchment and handed them to Mas. After Mas wrote down the formula in detail, he handed it to Bunny Ear.

“I’ll have to trouble you, miss, to hand this formula over to the appraiser of your guild and let him see how much this formula is worth!”

The rabbit-eared lady respectfully took the parchment with both hands and turned to enter the iron door behind her.
