"No more?! Not for sale?! ”

Sean asked in shock as he patted the table.

"Seven Star Flowers are not sold, what are you kidding?!"

It's no wonder that Sean is so out of shape.

The petals of the Seven Star Flower have a powerful harmonizing effect and are an important ingredient that is needed in many medicines.

These include Aether Recovery Potions, Strength Potions, Stamina Potions, Energy Potions, and the combination potion series that Sean is planning to concoct.

Although in high demand, this plant is not rare and can be easily found in the depths of the mountains, where energy and aether converge.

Each complete seven-star flower represents a high profit of more than 60 silver coins, and such a terrifying wealth attracts countless people to explore in the deep mountains, hoping for good luck.

Some of these people can come back, and some of them can't.

The Seven Star Flowers brought back by the lucky ones turned into materials in the hands of the mages, and then turned into bottles of potions and flowed into the market again, and the cycle continued and seemed to never end.

"Ah, I understand your surprise."

"Even though today is the eighth day of the new year, those who don't want to die will not be absent at any time."

"But unfortunately, since a few days ago, I have received an order from the headquarters, that is, to purchase and stop selling the Seven Star Flower and some potions at a higher price, send all the inventory to the headquarters, and maintain the continuous supply of the Seven Star Flower to that side after that."

"Although I don't want to give up this highly profitable business, it seems that this is what Master Karl Margery meant, and I can only resign myself to my fate."

"I'm sorry, Sean. I suggest that you choose to formulate other potions, which are not much less profitable than Aether Recovery Potions. ”

"If you really need it, my suggestion is to go to the Adventurer's Guild and put up a high-priced bounty, but now the purchase price of the Seven Star Flowers has been raised to 1.25 gold coins per plant, which is a full 50 silver coins more expensive than before."

Fryk shrugged, looking powerless.

"Okay...... Well......"

Sean rubbed his temples and felt a headache.

The formula for combining the Aether Recovery Potion was obtained by Sean from Lauren, and it is divided into seven levels, and the amount of Aether recovered is 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 250.

When he first arrived in Ryan City, he didn't dare to try this expensive material, because even the lowest stage combination potion (5) required the total cost of the materials as high as two gold coins.

A month and a half ago, he had finally risen from level 4 to level 5, and then began research on the combination potion (5).

The first day of the study ended in failure.

In just one day, he wasted 5 materials, and the direct economic loss was as high as 10 gold coins!

Thankfully, that night, he finally made his first finished product.

In the following days, he practiced diligently every day, after throwing out a large amount of gold coins and buying a large number of materials. On the seventh day, he finally succeeded in bringing the failure rate below half.

Still, the potion could not bring him any wealth, as Sean did not dare to sell it.

The first is that the profits are too huge, and it is easy to arouse the covetousness of people with bad intentions, and the second is because he has not yet refined the medicine behind it, and if he sells this one alone, he will not make much money.

So Sean's current plan is for his own use, and when alchemy causes mana to be depleted, he doesn't hesitate to pour it into a bottle.

Fortunately, Sean's alchemy techniques are becoming more and more mature, and the speed of making money is getting faster and faster, otherwise he really can't withstand such consumption.

Even so, after making sure that the success rate was high enough, he temporarily abandoned the combination potion (5) and switched to formulating those that came in quickly, such as aether recovery and strength potions.

It wasn't until a few days ago, when Sean was annoyed that he couldn't break through for a long time, that he remembered that he could try to break through the bottleneck by challenging the difficult potions, so he came up with the idea of a higher-stage combination potion (10).

As a result, as soon as he was about to start alchemy, he found that the Seven Star Flowers had been used up, so he hurriedly ran to the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce to buy them, and this was the conversation just now.

Sighing, Sean decided to go to the Adventurer's Guild to check on the situation.

The price increase is the price increase, no matter what, this combination potion (10) still has to try it, otherwise I don't know when it will be upgraded.

The combination potion (10) requires 14 petals of the Seven Star Flower, that is, two, and there is already one at home that has not been used up, so it is enough to buy one more.

Walking out of the store, snowflakes fell in all directions, and a chill hit him, and Sean tightened his robe.

The exhaled breath condensed into mist in the air when it was cold, and then it was quickly blown away by the wind.

Sean used his mana to block the snow that flew towards his face, and strode in the direction of the Adventurer's Guild.

Today is January 8, the 4626842716 year of the Faeron calendar, and a week ago, it was the New Year of the world of Faerun - the Ice and Snow Festival.

There were not many pedestrians on the streets, and it seemed that everyone's activities had slowed down in the wind and snow.

Of course, this does not include those adventurers who come and go.

The Adventurer's Guild is a sprawling building with a tall dome and a spacious lobby that can accommodate many visitors at once.

Pushing open the prominent door, Sean could see the deepest wall of bounties and quests.

There are at least hundreds of adventurers and attendants in the hall, and the interior is so large that it doesn't look crowded.

The Adventurer's Guild is a highly autonomous institution found in almost every country, usually headquartered in the national capital.

The function of this institution is to regulate the adventurer at the macro level, and at the same time to carry out the rational allocation and utilization of resources, plus to provide protection and notarization of various contractual relations related to the adventurer.

To put it simply, an adventurer's guild is an intermediary platform where people can post quests and hire adventurers to work for them.

Of course, guilds also have adventurers who are directly employed by them, and the adventurers of these guilds' descendants have higher priority in terms of mission selection and so on.

With the help of the service staff, Sean hung up a task to buy Seven Star Flowers, the price was 1.3 gold coins per plant, and a total of 3 plants were needed.

However, he didn't have much hope for this, because he heard from the discussions of those adventurers that it seemed that the adventurers' guild itself was also frantically buying Seven Star Flowers and some potions, and even if someone came to hand in the task, most of them would be bought directly, and it would not be his turn at all.

After submitting the task, Sean reluctantly walked out of the Adventurer's Guild.

It seems that the Seven Stars Flower will not be able to get it in a short period of time, unless he goes deep into the wild to collect it himself, or obtains it directly from the adventurer.

Direct access?

Sean suddenly thought of a good idea.
