Chapter 3584: Correct Method

Returning to the luxurious guest room where he was temporarily staying, Su Xiao pushed open the window. A cool breeze with the scent of the water's edge blew slowly, making him feel a bit refreshed and his thoughts clearer.

The neighbor was actually the Goddess of Luck, which was undoubtedly good news. As for how to obtain divine blood from her, there was no rush for now. This place was the Arcane Eternal Star, and without certainty, he could not act rashly.

First of all, he could not alert the Goddess of Luck. She had been exceptionally cautious in the past few months. If she hadn't been certain that Su Xiao, as a Law-Extinguishing Master, would never dare to come to the Arcane Eternal Star during the Arcane Celebration, the Goddess of Luck might have stayed at her best friend's house and never come out.

Actually, the Goddess of Luck also regretted it. In the past, she had been approached by previous Law-Extinguishing Masters several times, asking her to help solve fortune problems. Initially, the Goddess of Luck's attitude was: "Even I cannot save the fortune of you Law-Extinguishing Masters."

All along, as a deity in charge of fortune, no one wanted to offend her, and over time, she became a bit arrogant, until she was approached by a Law-Extinguishing Master with a not-so-good temper.

Since then, the Goddess of Luck had been much more polite to the previous Law-Extinguishing Masters, but she really had no way to deal with the fortune of the Law-Extinguishing Masters. After the previous Law-Extinguishing Masters discovered this was indeed the case, they didn't come to her again.

After the Law-Extinguishing Era ended and the Spellcaster Era arrived, the Goddess of Luck always believed that Law-Extinguishing Masters were history, until one day, when she was drifting and traveling in the "Between Realms" in her divine form, she sensed that unique fortune again. In just an instant, she was certain that this must be a Law-Extinguishing Master.

Initially, the Goddess of Luck prepared to slip away immediately, but after sensing carefully, she discovered that this was a Law-Extinguishing Master who hadn't grown up yet, and the confrontation between the two sides began.

Not long after, the Goddess of Luck panicked a bit. She discovered that after just a period of not seeing him, this Law-Extinguishing Master had become much stronger. Later, she found that she seemed unable to beat this Law-Extinguishing Master.

After confirming this, the Goddess of Luck began to be cautious, until later, she vaguely felt a sense of summoning, and on the other side, there seemed to be something good, which made her completely vigilant. For such a good thing falling from the sky, she would hide as far as she could.

Later, after thinking about it, the Goddess of Luck suddenly thought of a point: was this a trap set by the Law-Extinguishing Master she had offended before to lure her over? Thinking of this, the Goddess of Luck decided to find a place to hide.

The idea was beautiful. After the Goddess of Luck lived at her best friend's house, which was another goddess of the friendly faction, for a period of time, she was bored to death. Hearing that the Arcane Eternal Star was going to hold an Arcane Celebration, the Goddess of Luck's eyes almost lit up. She was certain that the Law-Extinguishing Master would never come to this place.

With this confidence, the Goddess of Luck came to the Arcane Eternal Star and became Su Xiao's temporary neighbor. One can only say that this deity in charge of fortune had very strange luck this time.

As for how to arrange the Goddess of Luck, Su Xiao already had a plan in his heart. Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

After opening the door, the visitor was an old man with white, disheveled hair and beard, sitting in a sophisticated mechanical wheelchair, with both legs broken.

The visitor was the Tree Sage. For this Arcane Celebration, from any angle, the Arcane Eternal Star should have invited the Tree Sage.

"Saint Flame."

The Tree Sage spoke, and neither his tone nor his expression felt hostile.

"Please."

Su Xiao turned and gave way. A moment later, he sat on a single sofa, sitting opposite the Tree Sage across the tea table, with two cups of steaming clear tea placed on it.

The Tree Sage took out a bottle of potion. The potion in the crystal bottle was pale gold. He placed it on the table, indicating that this potion was the highest level he could achieve.

Su Xiao also took out a bottle of potion. Coming to the Arcane Eternal Star this time, he naturally brought some finished potions to facilitate dealing with the Arcane Eternal Star.

After the Tree Sage picked up the potion on the table, he observed it carefully and finally poured out a few drops. When he resealed the potion and placed it on the table, he already knew in his heart how big the gap was between himself and the young pharmacist in front of him.

"Tomorrow at Light Dawn Manor, there will be a gathering of pharmacists."

At this point, although the Tree Sage's expression was normal, loneliness remained in his heart.

"No interest."

"Hmm?"

The Tree Sage looked at Su Xiao suspiciously. He originally thought that this pharmacist, who was so young and whose pharmacy skills were miraculous, would suppress the whole scene tomorrow, beating them old guys to the ground with his potion-mixing level, thereby making a name for himself in the Void. But he got such an answer.

"Then I won't go either."

The Tree Sage nodded and left without saying anything else.

Looking at the closed door, Su Xiao picked up the clear tea on the table and took a sip. He was actually not interested in making a name for himself in the Void as Saint Flame Pharmacist. Furthermore, the identity of Saint Flame Pharmacist could cooperate with White Cow, which must be cautious enough and understand the truth that "a tall tree catches the wind," so he was willing to hide in White Cow's forces.

With this style of conduct, it was impossible to slap the faces of the older generation of pharmacists with his superb potion-mixing level at tomorrow's pharmacist gathering. There was really no need. First, his potions were not hard to sell; second, his current reputation was enough for the Arcane Eternal Star to put down its arrogance to win him over. Why offend the older generation of pharmacists for the sake of so-called fame in the Void?

There was another point: the older generation of pharmacists likely had some guesses about his potion-mixing level through the potions Su Xiao mixed.

Su Xiao not going to this pharmacist gathering, which was held before every Arcane Celebration, was undoubtedly indicating that he was not prepared to confront the older generation of pharmacists. Face is something given to each other. Which of the older generation of pharmacists is not a smart person? They wouldn't have the thought that "Saint Medicine is too arrogant to even come to the pharmacist gathering." When the level gap is so large that they cannot even compete on the same stage, no one will ask for humiliation.

In Su Xiao's view, although his potion level was higher than these older pharmacists, these pharmacists had operated in the Void for so many years, and their connections were definitely not weak. No, these old pharmacists should be the batch of people with the strongest connections in the Void.

Glancing at the time, it was still morning. Sefilia had said before that she would come again in the afternoon and take Su Xiao to visit several important areas on the Arcane Eternal Star.

Su Xiao didn't sleep much helping Nilin with treatment last night. Now that he had free time, he leaned on the single sofa for a nap.

Time passed in the blink of an eye to noon.

Dong dong dong~

There was a knock on the door. After Beni opened the door, outside was a delicate girl in a white robe with her eyes closed, holding a wooden box in both hands, smiling and placing the box on Beni's flying carpet.

After doing this, the white-robed girl bowed to Su Xiao and left after closing the door gently.

Su Xiao opened the wooden box sent by the white-robed girl. There were quite a few things inside. This was not a gift from the Arcane Eternal Star, but consolation gifts sent by more than a dozen older pharmacists living at "Light Dawn Manor."

They were all potions for conditioning the body, which clearly corresponded to Su Xiao's excuse of being unwell to not attend tomorrow's pharmacist gathering.

Compared to the actual effect, the meaning represented by these body-conditioning potions was more important. The mixing level requirement for these potions was not high, but the materials used were very expensive. They were very suitable as gifts between pharmacists.

Besides that, there was also a badge with golden fire patterns in the wooden box. This fire pattern clearly represented Saint Flame. After Su Xiao picked it up, a prompt appeared.

【You have obtained Pharmacist Guild · Saint Flame Badge (Pharmacist Master Badge).】

Su Xiao had naturally heard of the Pharmacist Guild in the Void. The attitude of those older pharmacists was very clear. Only after learning that Su Xiao was not prepared to beat them all down with his superb potion-mixing level tomorrow did they return equal respect just a few hours later. Sure enough, face is given to each other.

Su Xiao looked at the badge between his fingers. These older pharmacists in the Void were very wealthy. This thing was made after purifying "Star Flow Ore."

After putting away the gifts, Su Xiao began to consider subsequent plans. First, he had to complete both travel tasks before the Arcane Celebration started.

According to the information he already knew, the important locations in the Arcane Eternal Star were: "Light Dawn Manor," "Silver Moon Lake," "Void Grand Library," "Zhongshi Academy," "Clock Tower (Soul Clock Tower)," "Star Plaza," 【Elemental Superconducting Tower】, "Black Maple Courtyard," and "Elemental Wetland."

Among them, Su Xiao would never go to the 【Elemental Superconducting Tower】; that was where the Supreme One was. As for the Supreme One, Su Xiao would contact him as little as possible. Such an existence who had lived for who knows how many years was terrifying in terms of both strength and power.

Su Xiao always had a feeling that his identity disguise could not last long. He was not afraid when facing the echelon of Sefilia and Rime Wind King, but when facing the Supreme One, he always had a feeling that his disguise would be punctured.

That kind of invisible pressure, even if he hadn't met the other party, Su Xiao had vaguely felt it since arriving at the Arcane Eternal Star, as if an invisible hand was located around his heart, and as long as it was gripped, his heart would be crushed.

Su Xiao's "Law-Extinguishing Master Was Here" task required going to "Zhongshi Academy," "Clock Tower," "Void Grand Library," "Black Maple Courtyard," and "Elemental Wetland."

The first three were easy to handle; the place he was staying now was a student dormitory of "Zhongshi Academy," and "Clock Tower" and "Void Grand Library" were also relatively easy places to reach.

"Black Maple Courtyard" and "Elemental Wetland" were the troublesome places. There was a "Dark Ring River" in the Arcane Eternal Star that surrounded a large area, and only a stone bridge could pass through this "Dark Ring River."

The reason for this was that it was rumored that the "Dark Ring River" had strong dark characteristics; swimming across was looking for death, and flying across was even more impossible. Su Xiao estimated that the dark characteristics of this "Dark Ring River" were likely from the Abyss.

Needless to say, how could a force like the Arcane Eternal Star, which dealt with the Abyss all year round, not spy on the power of the Abyss? This was the "Origin Power" of the same rank as the natural elements they devoured.

Only after passing the "Dark Ring River" could one reach the "Black Maple Courtyard" and "Elemental Wetland." These two places were not open to the public at all. Su Xiao estimated that even if he joined the Arcane Eternal Star as Saint Flame Pharmacist, it would be many years later before the high-level members of the Arcane Eternal Star would allow him to go to the "Black Maple Courtyard" and "Elemental Wetland."

Fortunately, this travel task did not require visiting all five locations; the rewards were just different. The task reward was a team skill card of Lv. 30 to Lv. EX. The specific grade was clearly determined based on how many places were visited.

At one o'clock that afternoon, there was another knock on the door.

After opening the door, Su Xiao saw several people standing in the corridor. The leader was Sefilia. However, this time Sefilia was not wearing robes, but a long dress similar in style to the robes. After all, this was the Arcane Eternal Star, and Sefilia was not paranoid enough to wear robes everywhere.

Su Xiao didn't understand one thing: it was true that the Arcane Eternal Star wanted to win him over, but as one of the leaders of the four factions of the Arcane Eternal Star, Sefilia had already given enough face to the guest by welcoming him at the Gate of Law before. There was no need for her to come personally for subsequent receptions.

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon. Su Xiao estimated that there were roughly two possibilities: 1. Sefilia had something to ask for; the other party needed a certain potion, but the highest level of the Pharmacist Guild at this stage still couldn't mix this potion.

2. Sefilia had an extremely terrifying sixth sense; she vaguely felt that something was wrong with Saint Flame Pharmacist, so she received him personally to facilitate subsequent probes.

If it was the first possibility, subsequent things would be easy to handle, and Su Xiao might even have a chance to go to the "Black Maple Courtyard."

Besides Sefilia, there were four other people outside the door: apprentice Green Wei, Wind Prince, Hugh, and Luen, whom he had encountered before.

Among them, Hugh was an old acquaintance. Back in the Strongest Hegemony Competition, in the final round, it was the decisive battle between Su Xiao and Hugh. The black flames that could burn the soul of the other party left a deep impression on Su Xiao.

Although Hugh was a spellcaster, he never devoured natural elements but practiced the soul system. This guy was exceptionally lazy except when necessary. If it weren't for representing the Arcane Eternal Star that time, he might not have stood out to fight Su Xiao; surrendering directly was something this guy might very well do.

Among the people present, Sefilia and apprentice Green Wei represented the "Arcane Faction," Wind Prince represented the "Elemental Faction," Hugh didn't need to be said, he must be the "Soul Faction," and Luen was sent by the "Magic Energy Faction."

Sefilia took out a black crystal card and handed it to Green Wei beside her. Green Wei said: "Mentor, you are so good, I will never again..."

Green Wei was glared at by Sefilia halfway through her sentence and immediately held it back.

"You are responsible for the subsequent expenses."

"Understood, Mentor, I will definitely handle it well."

Seeing Green Wei so determined, Sefilia frowned, a bit worried, but she didn't stay long. After nodding to Su Xiao to signal, she walked into the white space vortex that appeared behind her.

After Sefilia left, Wind Prince, Hugh, and Luen felt a bit more relaxed. Hugh, among them, even sat on the window sill of the corridor. This lazy ghost could sit and never stand.

"Your mentor is paying, Green Wei, won't you take us to Light Dawn Manor to squander? Mr. Saint Flame, what is your opinion?"

Luen spoke, his shark-like sharp teeth showing when he smiled.

"Where we should go is up to Mr. Saint Flame."

Hugh's words made Green Wei beside him nod repeatedly. She said:

"Yes, Mr. Saint Flame, where are we going? It must be 'Light Dawn Manor,' right? Go there to eat lots and lots of delicious food, the desserts there..."

As Green Wei spoke, she swallowed her saliva.

"We should actually go to the Grand Library; it's quiet enough there."

Wind Prince had a weak appearance, with dark circles under his eyes as if he had been punched twice. He yawned while speaking. It seemed he hadn't slept for at least a month or two.

"Hmm, go to the Grand Library."

Su Xiao expressed his stance. Other places could be visited later; the Void Grand Library was the place worth visiting first.

As soon as Su Xiao said this, Wind Prince felt a rather unkind gaze staring at him. Following the gaze, it was Green Wei.

From the performance of these few people, one could see the attitude of several factions. The "Soul Faction" sent Hugh, representing that they were not urgent to win over Saint Flame Pharmacist—no, it should be half-abandoned.

The "Elemental Faction" was about the same. The Rime Wind King's meaning might be simply to let his son go out and walk around, so as not to continue being a homebody. If he didn't go out again, the Rime Wind King was afraid his son's limbs would degenerate.

The only ones who really wanted to win over Su Xiao at a great cost, he estimated, were the "Arcane Faction" and the "Magic Energy Faction."

Among the four, including Green Wei, Luen was a space type, and it was very convenient to go anywhere. However, there was one point: in the Arcane Eternal Star, moving in space without wearing a "Secret Law Ring" would be immediately sensed by the nearest "Magic Energy Tower." The light consequence was magic energy guards coming to the door, and the heavy consequence was being directly locked by the "Magic Energy Tower" and strangled in space movement.

A flash of light appeared in front of them, and Su Xiao had arrived on a street. The buildings on both sides were in a mysterious style. A hundred meters away was a five-story building with a sense of age. Its height was at least a hundred meters. The color of the wall showed black and gray, and some places showed signs of weathering, full of historical thickness and beauty.

This was the Grand Library. Su Xiao walked up the hundred-plus steps and arrived at the first floor of the Grand Library. Near the outside, many tables and chairs were placed, where one could read.

Further inside were huge bookshelves dozens of meters high. Beside the bookshelves were many steep wooden book ladders that could be pushed back and forth. Both the bookshelves and the book ladders were shiny from years of use and frequent wiping. The natural wood grain was more suitable for the furnishing style of this place than any oil paint.

Standing between rows of huge bookshelves dozens of meters high would make people feel their own insignificance, as well as the vastness of the knowledge stored here.

The collection of books on the first floor alone was difficult for the outside world to reach, not to mention that this library had five floors.

Because the Arcane Celebration was about to be held, the first floor of the Grand Library was open to the public recently. As long as they were guests coming to the Arcane Eternal Star, they could borrow books for free.

The second and third floors required being a student of "Zhongshi Academy," the fourth floor required entry permission given by high-level members of the "Elemental Faction," and for the fifth floor, one must have the consent of the Rime Wind King, plus a well-drafted passage permit, to go there. Of course, if one could get the verbal permission of the Supreme One, one could also enter the fifth floor of the Grand Library.

Now with Wind Prince leading the way, the group soon arrived at the front area of the fourth floor of the Grand Library. The back area required additional entry permission.

The bookshelves here were much shorter, but they were also five or six meters high. Su Xiao walked between the bookshelves and soon arrived at the area displaying books on pharmacy.

After Su Xiao found an ancient book, he sat on a wooden chair, crossed his legs, and began to read the ancient book.

Ten minutes later, Green Wei, who was yawning a few meters away, asked: "Hugh, how is Crow Girl? I'm a bit worried about her."

Hearing this, Su Xiao turned his head to look at Green Wei, then continued to read the ancient book. At this time, having no reaction would instead arouse suspicion; after all, he was immersed in reading the ancient book, and if someone spoke suddenly, even in a low voice, he would subconsciously look over.

"What else can be done? She's locked up on our side. That thing she brought back... do you know about that artifact of the Devil Race?"

"Know, know."

"It's the same kind of thing as that artifact of the Devil Race."

"Then isn't Crow Girl dead for sure?"

"How is that possible? Do you know how many enemies Crow Girl has helped your 'Arcane Faction' eliminate over the years? Your dear mentor will protect her, and Soul Lady on our side won't let Crow Girl die either. If she dies, the situation will only be more troublesome."

Hearing Green Wei and Hugh discuss this, Luen sighed: "I heard that the place where Crow Girl is locked up also holds Mentor Heros?"

"Yes."

Hugh closed the book in his hand. Don't look at this guy as lazy; he is responsible for the underground prison on the Arcane Eternal Star. To be precise, he is Soul Lady's confidant.

"Mr. Heros once taught me. He was respected as a Magic Energy Mentor. Oh, right, I heard before that Mentor Heros was called an Elemental Scientist..."

Su Xiao heard the low conversation of several people from beginning to end. He didn't believe this was a coincidence. The probe from the Arcane Eternal Star had already begun.

Sefilia showed her face before leaving, leaving only Green Wei, Wind Prince, Hugh, and Luen. It seemed that she left young people, but in fact, none of these four was simple.

If one regarded Green Wei as a completely "silly" girl, one would suffer a big loss. Green Wei's style was lively, but Sefilia sent her because she must have some extraordinary qualities.

The other three didn't need to be said. Su Xiao had cooperated with Wind Prince before and knew what kind of style this guy, who seemed to be a homebody, had when he was serious.

Hugh didn't need to be said either; he was an opponent from before. That is, the other party didn't die. If he had died, he would likely have been engraved on the Fate Master.

The last Luen came from "Zhongshi Academy." Could a person who was sent alone to guard a Gate of Law during the Arcane Celebration be simple?

Hugh and the others mentioned Crow Girl and Elemental Scientist Heros, which was a probe. These two people involved two things, especially the thing about Crow Girl, which was particularly important to the Arcane Eternal Star.

Hugh and the others talked about Heros for a while, then began to discuss the subsequent Arcane Celebration. Luen, among them, was exceptionally looking forward to the evening banquet on the first day of the Arcane Celebration.

"Mr. Saint Flame, I found something good."

Luen held up an old-covered book and continued: "This is a secret book recording Law-Extinguishing Masters. Mr. Saint Flame, are you interested?"

"Very interested."

Su Xiao signaled Luen to bring the secret book over. At this time, the more interested Su Xiao was, the less the four people around him could grasp.

"Does this secret book record the abilities of Law-Extinguishing Masters?"

Su Xiao took the secret book.

"This... not sure, it shouldn't, hahaha."

Luen's smile was a bit stiff.

"Tell you an interesting thing: the Law-Extinguishing Master who is hostile to you, I have met him many times. Speaking of which, he is my old customer."

"Ah?!"

Luen's face was full of "holy crap" expression. Wind Prince and Luge, a few meters away, were no longer sleepy.

"What's so surprising about this? I am a staff member of the Paradise, and he is a Hunter of the Paradise. I know more than 70% of the mid-to-high-tier contractors and Hunters."

Su Xiao said while reading the secret book, his expression calm.

"That's true, you are a pharmacist."

Luen's smile was even stiffer. After a while, finding that Su Xiao was immersed in the secret book in his hand and no longer chatting with him, he used the excuse of going to the bathroom to walk away.

Su Xiao continued to flip through the secret book. Most of the content inside had no value, but one piece of information was very useful to Su Xiao, and that was the "Awakening Monument."

It roughly recorded the function of the "Awakening Monument." First, only those who had awakened the unique talent of Law-Extinguishing Masters could use the "Awakening Monument."

To put it simply, after awakening the Hunter Shadow talent, one would have Law-Extinguishing skill points. With Law-Extinguishing skill points, one could master the abilities engraved on it through the "Awakening Monument."

This secret book recorded it very briefly, but from the lines, there were many Law-Extinguishing abilities engraved on the "Awakening Monument." Law-Extinguishing Masters chose to learn Law-Extinguishing skills selectively, choosing only those that suited them.

Su Xiao closed the secret book. After learning this information, his determination to find the "Awakening Monument" became even firmer. If there were a large number of Law-Extinguishing passive skills on it, he could rely on Law-Extinguishing skill points to stack passives wildly.

After putting the secret book back to its original position, Su Xiao began to stroll in the front area of the fourth floor of the Grand Library. There were too many books he wanted to read here, but time was limited, and he could only choose to read selectively.

Passing by a bookshelf, Su Xiao stopped. He saw four words on an ancient book: Chapter of Greed.

Taking out the ancient book, Su Xiao found that it was more like a personal biography. The reason for the four words "Chapter of Greed" was because the other party had obtained this thing.

Su Xiao also had the 【Chapter of Greed】. The problem was that after the 【Chapter of Greed】 was completed and upgraded to world-class, it became exceptionally difficult to fight.

The Soul Image became harder to fight the further one went. Su Xiao suspected that he could only beat the top few "Soul Images."

As Su Xiao flipped through this ancient book, his gaze gradually became solemn, and he began to "not understand" a bit.

The ancient book said that one should condense one's own soul energy to build one's own "Soul Image" within the 【Chapter of Greed】, forming the initial prototype.

During each battle, one could give this "Soul Image" of one's own four different characteristics, namely: Soul of Strength, Soul of Agility, Soul of Constitution, and Soul of Intelligence.

The choice of the four characteristics represented that this "Soul Image" of one's own would have different combat tendencies.

Finally, one would enter this "Soul Image" of one's own with one's own spiritual body, and only then fight the strong enemy of the 【Chapter of Greed】.

Among them, condensing one's own "Soul Image" required a soul seal. This ancient book had a record of it. Su Xiao observed for a while and kept it in his heart.

Besides the soul seal, the Soul of Strength, Soul of Agility, Soul of Constitution, and Soul of Intelligence all had corresponding imprints. These imprints were not complicated. After a while, Su Xiao kept all the details of the imprints in his mind.

Seeing this, Su Xiao's hand gripped, and the ancient book in his hand closed. So, the 【Chapter of Greed】 was not fought by entering with a spiritual body directly.

He had previously skipped the novice tutorial like a player. No, the 【Chapter of Greed】 had no novice tutorial at all. The attributes of this thing only displayed its characteristics thoroughly; as for how to use it specifically, not a single word was mentioned.

This made Su Xiao think that the 【Chapter of Greed】 was exchanged from the Void Tree. His reputation with the Void Tree was low. After exchanging for this thing, there was not even a user manual.

What was even more pit-like was that if Su Xiao's spiritual power was weak, he would notice the abnormality. The problem was that he was just entering with a spiritual body, and he could fight. He was even about to beat Dark Crow.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao suddenly recalled why every time he went to fight Dark Crow, Dark Crow's "Soul Image" seemed very angry. Before, he thought it was because he had worn the 【Wild Hunt Night】 long leather coat. Now it seemed that was not the case.

However, the key was that there were no "Soul Seal" and four kinds of "Imprints" before. Without these two, even if he knew the correct method, it would be useless.

Su Xiao decided to go back and try it later, challenging the strong enemy in the 【Chapter of Greed】 with the method described in the ancient book. ===== CHAPTER 3585 =====
