Under the fearful gaze of the crowd, Sean walked up to the drunken man and stomped on him hard.

With his backhand, he pulled out the black sword from behind his back and pulled a sword flower in the air.

Aiming the tip of his sword at the guy's head, Sean bowed his head slightly with an indifferent expression.

"Where is the Seven Star Flower? Take it out, and I'll spare you from death. ”

The pro's momentum suddenly exploded, pressing on the drunk man at his feet.

Onlookers stepped back, and even the tavernkeeper, who had planned to come up to stop the conflict, stopped.

"I ...... I didn't bring it with me......"

The drunkard's original arrogance disappeared in an instant, and he looked at the long sword pointed at his head with fear on his face, and his brain instantly sobered up.

"In ...... ...... in the room Wayne! Go get it for me! ”

He shouted into the crowd.

A thin figure quickly ran upstairs, as if it were the drunkard's companion.

……

It didn't take long for a seven-star flower to be delivered, and Sean took it and looked at it carefully, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Gently putting his sword away, Sean walked back to his seat, not looking back at the trembling garbage still lying on the ground.

The fellow, Wayne, reached out and picked up the drunken man and staggered out of the tavern.

Everyone dispersed and returned to their seats, and they still glanced at Sean from time to time, but this time they did not have the slightest contempt, but were full of fear.

Sean's various ways of doing it before had long aroused their suspicions, and those who could take out so many gold coins at will were either nobles or professionals.

As soon as they were about to test it, a bird that was not afraid of death popped up.

It's really a mistake to drink and make a mistake, and the material for more than one gold coin is sent out like this.

With a smile on his face, the boss brought a few glasses of wine to Sean, as if he hadn't seen the previous scene, and asked Sean what else he needed.

Sean shook his head and politely declined his boss's offer.

After being rejected by Sean, the boss nodded and stepped back, not saying anything to disappoint the fun.

The prestige of the professional is still very large, and Sean has not caused him any substantial damage, so this boss is better than less.

Sipping the wine from his glass, Sean played with the gold coins on the table, making them collide with a crisp sound.

Even so, no one has set their greedy eyes on this place anymore.

Until Sean had drunk all the wine, no one dared to step forward again.

With a sigh, Sean put the gold coins away, and left the tavern with his sword on his back.

Although the previous things were a bit embarrassing, but to be able to harvest a seven-star flower, it was still bloody to come to this trip.

Judging from the current situation, he can't collect enough materials in a short period of time, and he can only take one step at a time.

Although the wind and snow outside have stopped, the ground is still silvery white.

Walking through the snow, Sean left a long trail of footprints behind him.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned to look behind him.

About a dozen adventurers dressed similarly appeared in the distance, their weapons in their hands, and the leader was waving his arms and constantly signaling to Sean.

"Your Excellency! Please wait! ”

Sean was slightly stunned when the shouts came, and then stopped and waited for the arrival of these people.

From the way these people marched, Sean could discern something, this was not a makeshift group of half-adventurers, but a well-trained team that had been honed for a long time.

Maybe it will bring some surprises.

Thinking so, the group quickly arrived in front of Sean.

The leader is a middle-aged man with several obvious scars on his face, and his overall appearance is relatively ordinary.

This guy is very muscular, with a slender cross sword on his back, and he is wearing light armor, but it gives people a restrained feeling, as if it is not very dangerous.

Speaking of the others, all of them are very well equipped, and they all have many years of adventure experience from the point of view of the posture, and none of them seem to be novices.

"My lord, my name is Hank Waters, and I am the leader of the Blood and Fire Adventure Band, and these are all members of my team."

This adventurer named Hank didn't have much nonsense and said straight to the point.

"I heard that you need Seven Star Flowers, we have some stock here, I don't know ......"

"Oh? How many? Sean was instantly intrigued.

"There are 8 plants in total, and if you ask for them all, you will only be charged 10 gold coins."

Hank smiled and said earnestly to Sean.

This price is still very cost-effective, although the market price is 1.25 gold coins per plant, but now this situation is obviously a seller's market, and premium is a common thing, just like Sean planned to spend 1.5 gold coins to buy a few plants.

"I have the gold coins now, where is the goods?"

Sean said happily, he was still worried about the lack of materials on hand just now, but he didn't expect so many goods to come immediately, which really gave him a big surprise.

As for whether the potion made in this way is cost-effective, Sean did not consider this kind of question at all, the purpose of his alchemy was not to make much money, but to find an opportunity to break through in this way.

There are two ways for professionals to break through.

One is to engage in career-related activities, such as meditation, spell practice, alchemy, etc., and if the soul power reaches a bottleneck in the process, then it will automatically break through when the opportunity comes.

The other is to burn one's own soul and pay a great price to forcibly impact a higher level.

After the soul is burned, if you can successfully advance, then it will also leave a lot of soul damage, which will take a long time to make up, and will affect your future lifespan, talent, upgrade difficulty, etc.

And if it fails, then Lauren's fate is a living example, directly from the soul to the body, completely destroyed, and there is no chance to do it again.

Of course, these consequences are not impossible to avoid, for example, Lauren's sale of property before his death, various breakthrough potions, ritual magic, etc. prepared for himself are all good mitigation and auxiliary means.

It's a pity that Lauren himself is too old and his soul is already rotten, so no amount of preparation can avoid his death after defeat......

Sean doesn't want to make the latter move, at least at the current stage he won't think about it at all, he's not a short-sighted person who won't give up on his future for the present.

The more advanced the knowledge is learned and applied, the greater the help will be for his promotion, and the easier it will be for him to find opportunities to improve himself.

That's why Sean collects Seven Star Flowers everywhere, and only by refining himself through difficult alchemy can he speed up his promotion, and it's worth paying some extra gold coins for this.

It is more effective to learn in-depth knowledge than to learn superficial knowledge, which is why there are so many divisions among the mages.
