As Vale passed through the various stalls in the Wyrmgate Bazaar, he eventually ca across a secluded area behind a trio of translucent barriers. It was protecting a mid-size building.
The barriers covering it weren’t ant to defend or stop any enemies but to ensure that the area would be kept from noise, detection, or any sort of investigative spells to pass through it.
Lastly, it also ensures that no energy will leak out of it.
Vale then saw the na of the place...
"Sanctum of Blended Essence – Private Alchemy Chambers for Rent."
Several cloaked individuals walked in and out of the area... Most of them were only at the level of First or Second Class Arcanists who were carrying cauldrons. The others were dragging wagons filled with ingredients, and a few escorted by constructs or familiars. Clearly, this was a place for serious work.
Vale stepped inside.
"Ahh..."
There was a thick scent of burning herbs, mana vapor, distilled spirit essence, and various alchemical ingredients...
’Interesting...’ Vale muttered after entering the area.
There was a golem receptionist with six arms who greeted him politely.
"Private chambers available. Cost is two Divine Crystals for six hours. Soundproof, scry-proof, and warded against explosions and ethereal contamination. Surveillance prohibited by contract."
Vale simply nodded and placed two Divine Crystals on the tray extended by one of the golem’s hands.
"Chamber B-7. Proceed."
He was guided to a circular room lit with bright crystal lights, perfect for alchemy...
Just from entering, he could already tell that the walls were filled with Formation Circles protecting the place. There were no windows or other doors connecting to another room.
Still, Vale didn’t take chances.
As soon as the golem departed and the chamber sealed behind him, he waved his hand and summoned his own Divine Concealnt Formation, layering it atop the existing protections.
This Formation Arts wasn’t sothing he extracted, but it was sothing that he learned with Constance’s assistance.
Well, that Spirit Immortal was quite crazy when it cos to Formation Circles after all.
Anyway, after confirming that the formation was properly arranged, it was only then did he finally breathed out in relief.
"Now..."
With a flick of his fingers, his Storage Ring flashed—and before him ford a small mountain of recently purchased items: jars, coins, feathers, vials, bone fragnts, mystical flora, and many others.
He sat cross-legged before them and selected the first item. The Draconic Seal Coin
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Begin."
[ Extraction Successful. Dragon Energy 110 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Dragon Energy 110 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Essence Crystal ( Lesser-Draconic ) x1 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy 300, Scale Sheen Residue 1 ]
Vale raised a brow. "Not bad. Might be worth buying in bulk."
Getting 220 Dragon Energy wasn’t sothing he would easily pass up. It was actually a lot more than what he had expected.
However, he also realized why no one was trying to extract it using other thods. Just now, he confird that if not for his Divine Extraction System, the Dragon Energy would’ve actually vanished without any traces.
For now, he placed the newly ford Essence Crystal and Residue in a separate pouch, then reached for the next items, the vials containing various essences.
The first one was the one containing Fiend Essence.
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Yes."
[ Extraction Successful. Fiend Essence 30 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Fiend Essence 30 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy 700 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Energy 20 ]
The amount of essence wasn’t as high as he thought but considering that he also extracted energy from it, it shouldn’t be that bad.
’But Cursed Energy? This is a new one.’ Vale muttered to himself.
Anyway, he’d probably find out more about it if he continued his study of this realm.
Then, he turned to the vial with Imp Essence.
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Continue."
[ Extraction Successful. Fiend Essence 75 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy 300 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Energy 50 ]
"Not great," he muttered. "But I guess I’ll be getting more and more Cursed Energy, huh..."
After this, Vale turned to the gleaming set of Ashen Feathers of the Lost Sky—24 in total.
His fingers hovered over the first feather.
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"All right, let’s see what you are."
[ Extraction Successful. Divinity 200 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Divinity 10 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Feather of Radiant Ash x1 ]
"Ahh... That’s a lot!"
He raised a brow as the tal-like feather beca a normal feather in front of him. It was really a good thing to extract items without being seen by anyone.
However, after the Cursed Energy, he now obtained a Cursed Divinity!
Needless to say, Vale continued on his task... He wanted to see if he’d get the sa amount for each feather!
As expected, the second feather gave the sa extraction result.
[ Extraction Successful. Divinity 200 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Divinity 10 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Feather of Radiant Ash x1 ]
"Divinity and Cursed Divinity, huh... How is it different from Corrupted Divinity?" Vale mused...
It was unfortunate that he couldn’t ask anyone.
Anyway, he decided to check the Feather of Radiant Ash...
As he took it out of his inventory, he realized that it was a black feather that seed to have separated from the extracted feather.
"Can I use this as a weapon or maybe an alchemy ingredient?" Vale muttered as he wasn’t too sure.
Nonetheless, he decided to continue with the extraction... In just a few monts, he extracted all the 24 feathers that he bought for only 250 Divine Crystals...
Considering how he obtained 4,800 Divinity Points from the 24 Feathers, it was definitely worth the price...
’I hope I can find more items that give this much Divinity.’ Vale mused as he couldn’t help but feel excited about the rest of the items he bought, especially the Black Heart that he got for 20 Mid-Grade Divine Crystals from a Corrupted Celestial, according to the rchant.
