With a cautious attitude, he first took out the first set of materials and processed them one by one according to the process, but when he reached the fifth step, he used his own habits.
The beaker in his hand was no longer heated in a small magic furnace, but was heated directly in his hand through fire magic, and the cooling was also done through ice or water magic. Naturally, the speed was much faster than others.
His approach caused many masters present to point fingers at him. Some said that his idea was good, while others said that he was too eager for quick success.
With the completion of the last step, filtering out the residual medicine is officially completed.
Naturally, there were two more portions, and Lin Xingchen had to solve them all at once. The two portions of materials were mixed together and prepared at the same time. He was so happy here that his friends beside him were sweating with anxiety.
Many people are actually very dissatisfied with Lin Xingchen, especially those boys. Unfortunately, she is not only good-looking but also has unquestionable strength. Many people have given up the desire to compete with her and just concentrate on their own work.
He was the first one to hand in his answer sheet. Howard checked it carefully and smelled it to make sure there were no mistakes before giving him a thumbs up.
"Among the younger generation, you may have the greatest future. Not only are you talented, but more importantly, you know how to make good use of your talents." This evaluation is already very high.
"Lin Xingchen made some modest comments." Fortunately, it was still early and others had not finished their work yet, so Lin Xingchen started chatting with Howard.
"Master, I heard from Princess Demi that you are also a member of the royal family. Are you interested in discussing a business deal?" Lin Xingchen said in a low voice.
"Haha... I wonder what you are going to talk to me about, little guy?" Howard answered softly.
Lin Xingchen pointed at the clothes inside his magic robe and said, "Silk is very comfortable, right? I wonder how much this set of silk you are wearing is worth after it was shipped from Maple Leaf Territory to Strangford?"
"It's quite expensive. I heard that the material of this kind of clothes is sold by weight. It's as heavy as gold." Howard looked like an old fashioned man, otherwise he wouldn't know so much about these things.
"Master, you may not know that this silk is actually the first one produced in my territory. And don't be angry if I tell you that the silk on your body belongs to the low-grade type. This is the real high-end silk that I have not seen in this party yet."
"So you have a better silk in your hand?" Howard perked up. After all, the charm of silk is so great that few people who have actually worn it can resist it.
"Master, don't just focus on silk. We have many other goods in our territory. You might as well ask around. For example, where is the tea that Master Mason is drinking now? It is also a specialty of our territory." Seeing these big guys using their own things one by one, no matter whether they are produced in their own territory or not, as long as they use them, they will have a market.
"Really? I'm looking forward to having a good chat with you after this party." No one went back to refuse the gold coins. Every magician was a rich man, but they were also masters at spending money.
Lin Xingchen did not participate in the final selection of this competition. Instead, he gave the ranking to those who really needed it. He no longer needed these false names. What he wanted was the sincere recognition of these masters in front of him.
The party lasted for ten days. Lin Xingchen reached some simple agreements with many people. As long as he returned to the territory, he could formally arrange for people to come and make contact.
Also in these ten days, he used his abilities and wisdom to make the big guys present here have a new understanding of him: young and knowledgeable, not only talented but also willing to work hard. Although he is only a seventh-level magician now, no one present would think that he would stop at the seventh level.
The most valuable transaction during these ten days was the one with the dwarf master Johnny Bell. Lin Xingchen exchanged ten drops of life tree marrow for a hundred attack formulas, including ten master-level and forty advanced ones.
The same deal was made with the royal family represented by Howard. Ten drops of tree marrow were exchanged for a lot of knowledge and some important formula information that Lin Xingchen urgently needed.
There will always be a time when the party ends, but Lin Xingchen has been trading with everyone. He has made deals with Master Mason who asked him to complete the ratio and formula of internal combustion engine materials, and there is also a master who controls a large amount of mineral deposits. As long as everyone has needs, Lin Xingchen is willing to leave some goodwill.
"Lin, are you really not going to stay a little longer? Demi really likes you! She'll be sad if she knew you left so suddenly." Master Howard would promote his great-granddaughter from time to time.
"Master, I have been away for more than two years. It is time for me to go back and take a look. And I have told you a long time ago that I am a man with a family so her kindness can only be said to be inappropriate." Lin Xingchen politely declined Howard's request, stood on a teleportation array, looked at his teacher Edwin and nodded to indicate that it was okay.
"Lin, if you have any problems, come to the Elf City to find me." After saying that, he waved his hand to activate the teleportation array and sent him to the city on the border of Strangford.
Lin Xingchen spent ten gold coins to buy a very good carriage. He didn't expect that the horse market in this border city was across the street from the slave trading place.
It was a good opportunity to find some talented people to bring back, so Lin Xingchen went to the slave market for the second time in his life.
Compared to Fatty Charles, the slaves here are not only more diverse but also of better quality.
There was always something different about the empire. Many nobles who had been convicted were also included in the group. Lin Xingchen even saw aliens.
The Strangford Empire borders the Orcs, so it is not uncommon for Orcs to appear in the trading market. If these Orcs are lucky enough to be bought by some nobles for gladiatorial combat, dying by swords and axes in the end is considered a good ending. The most feared thing is being bought by magicians, as that would be a luxury.
Lin Xingchen's attire revealed a lot of things. Those who were able to engage in the slave trade were all shrewd people, and they quickly surrounded him.
When someone is selling something to you, you don’t have to ask questions slowly and can just directly state your requirements.
The first ones are preferably those who have some magical knowledge or some technical skills.
The second is that these people cannot have their spirits destroyed. They must look like human beings rather than living puppets.
Thirdly, it would be best if he knows how to manage territory or manage others. Although these three requirements are a bit harsh, it is still easy to find what he needs in such a large market.
Looking at the hundreds of people in front of him, Lin Xingchen touched his chin, gritted his teeth and took them all.
Not only did he buy all of them, he also bought up this guy's relatives, and even all the aliens in the entire market.
Such a huge business naturally made the slave traders suspicious, and they thought Lin Xingchen might be teasing them.
Of course, Lin Xingchen did not have so much cash. These slaves and the food and carriages they would need later would be a considerable expense.
It was too easy for a pharmacist to get money. After he revealed that he was a senior pharmacist, the slave owners put their minds at ease.
Finally, everyone discussed it and agreed to settle the bill with Lin Xingchen's potion instead of gold coins.
After a whole afternoon of hard work, he finally paid off the slaves. He then exchanged 30,000 gold coins and bought enough clothes, carriages, and food. Lin Xingchen set out early the next morning.
The convoy of more than 200 people attracted a lot of attention, mainly because the convoy was too interesting. All the members were slaves and there were even some foreigners among them.
The next day, when an alien went out, he broke the chain and tried to escape, but was called back by Lin Xingchen. After all, even an orc knew how to think with his brain when a huge ice sword was pointed at his forehead.
Since the chains were useless, no one needed to carry them. Lin Xingchen repeated his argument. As long as they worked for him for three years and repaid the gold coins used to buy them, they would be free men.
There was nothing Lin Xingchen could do about the aliens, so he had to show his ears to these guys. Aliens can always find common topics with each other.
Through physics and chicken soup, he finally made the orcs, night elves and two tall tauren temporarily agree with his words. Everything will be settled when they return to his territory.
It’s not that no one has thought about escaping, and Lin Xingchen, who realized that he had brought trouble upon himself, finally had to resort to collective punishment, warning those who wanted to escape that their escape would kill their loved ones.
As they walked along the way, everyone, including the aliens, gradually discovered that as long as they did not want to escape, the magician would not do anything to them. On the contrary, he would give everyone delicious food from time to time.
It took nearly six months to reach the end of this journey. Looking at his home after a long absence, Lin Xingchen shed tears. When he left, he said that it would be at most half a year or at most a year. As a result, some things happened during this period that delayed the time by almost three years.
They entered Maple Leaf Territory in the wind and snow. The guards of Sentinel City naturally recognized Lin Xingchen, and someone immediately rode at full speed to the Duke's Castle to report the news.
The slaves were taken to the military camp by the guards, and Lin Xingchen floated to the Duke's Castle by himself. He wanted to see the people he missed all the time in his heart as soon as possible.
It turned out that flying in the heavy snow was not a wise choice. In the end, he lowered his altitude. Although it was still very cold, it at least made him go much faster.
Green, Evelyn and others were waiting at the door early, and when they saw Lin Xingchen flashing towards them.
"Grandpa, I'm back. I'm sorry to have made you worried."
"I will when I get back. The ones who are really worried are them, not me. You can have a good chat." He then invited everyone into the inner room.
