In My Head There is an Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 26: The Dark Market of Talent
Through Internal Observation, Chu Yunfan could not believe that he found the Divinity in his head. Next, there was a scroll wrapped around the Godhead. It appeared in his head out of nowhere, and he felt nothing.
At that moment, he understood many things, including how he had completely changed and how his talent was developing rapidly. Maybe it all came from that Godhead.
It had been integrated into his head completely. Soon, Chu Yunfan discovered that there was a glimmer of light that only he could ‘see’ appear around the Godhead every time he cultivated. It was then that he felt a cooling sensation, making him feel elated and cutting his cultivation time in half while increasing efficiency.
It turns out that Godhead is the reason!
Meanwhile, the scroll of landscape painting that was on his head wrapped around the Godhead. No matter what Chu Yunfan did, he could not move the painting.
He should let it. He speculated that he had insufficient mental strength, so he was unable to move the painting and was also unable to trigger any reaction from it.
Many magic tools were excavated from the ruins of the Ancient Zenith civilization, and some are still functional. There was even a magic tool made following the records in the books of the Ancient Zenith civilization.
Based on some documents published by the Federation government, one would need enormous mental strength to be able to use that magic tool. Chu Yunfan had yet to reach that level.
Moreover, the Godhead had come a long way if it came from the Ancient Zenith civilization. It had traveled for so long and reached the modern era. Obviously, it was not an ordinary magic tool, so it was much harder to activate it.
“Forget. Since I cannot move the Godhead or the scroll, I will find out in the future!
Since there was nothing he could do, he could only put this matter aside.
For now, the main priority is to make more money!
After Internal Observation will be Qi Nourishment. He could only activate the sea qi by taking a mouthful of True Energy, and the process was far too long and terrifying. Moreover, Chu Yunfan's physique was stronger than average. Taking a mouthful of True Energy would be several times more difficult for him.
According to his estimation, he would need at least five Nutrition Qi Pills. Even if he could fix it himself, excluding the labor cost, he would need at least 300,000 coins.
Medicinal pills that can help a person save time and increase faster are always expensive, and the price will only get higher.
Suddenly, Chu Yunfan thought of something. Regardless of the cost of herbs, the main reason the price of medicinal pills continued to rise was the expensive labor cost for the alchemist.
Since that was the case, why would he not purify the pill for others?
Although the number of alchemists was much higher compared to a few years ago, it was still unable to meet the demand in the medicinal pill market.
Given the many alchemists recruited by all kinds of factions, groups, and Federation governments, it meant that they no longer served the commoners. In reality, the demand for alchemists remained high.
Meanwhile, the Alchemist Association usually only sold ordinary medicinal pills. They did not have any medicinal pills with unique effects. Even if one obtained the recipe, they still needed an alchemist to refine it for them.
However, Chu Yunfan only had the license of an advanced alchemy apprentice. According to the rules, he was forbidden from refining medicinal pills for others. Meanwhile, the official tests of alchemy trainees would only be held at the Alchemist Association itself. One had to take the test, and the next test would only be done a month later.
Clearly, Chu Yunfan could not wait until next month no matter what.
This makes him remember other market types—dark market talents.
Compared to the ordinary talent market, the black market of talent was not depleted in the open, but many people knew about it. Those who have a variety of requirements that must be met will seek help on the talent black market.
There was a wide variety of people there, and there was also a notice of fugitives with attractive gifts hanging around. However, the strange thing is that the security on the black market of talent is better than anywhere else. Ordinary people did not have to worry about their safety when they entered. It is said that there are powerful forces that support the black market of talent. No one would dare to do what they wanted there, or they would suffer cruel retaliation.
It makes sense when someone thinks about it. The black market for such talent has not been banned by the Federation government. Meanwhile, many people knew about his existence. One would think that the power behind the black market of talent must be someone extraordinary.
Chu Yunfan had heard Gao Hongzhi mention it before. That's how he found out about a place like that.
Naturally, one's safety was no longer guaranteed as soon as they visited the talent black market.
He could not refine medicinal pills for others on the right platform because he did not have a relative license. However, it was a different story on the black market of talent. No one will ask to see the license. In reality, there were many alchemist apprentices who would look for business on the black market of talent.
The reason being an official alchemist would have many factions and consortia that made them offer. They are not short of funds.
Popular alchemists would become millionaires or even billionaires. They have no problem making money at all.
It was an alchemist apprentice who had no steady income. If they wanted to stand out in the field of alchemy, other than being trained and pampered by factions, consortia, or the Federation government, this was the only way to make a living.
Even official alchemists would look for jobs on the black market of talent, but they were looking for a rather luxurious job. They do not need to pay taxes to the Federation government for such illegal work. There were people protecting them on the black market of talent, so no one could stop them.
Since Chu Yunfan had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.
The next day is Sunday. Utilizing that, he took a bus to the area between Calm Ocean City and Donghua City in the morning. It was the intersection between the jurisdictions of the two cities, which was a managerial blind spot. That's the basis of the black market presence of talent.
Chu Yunfan had finally arrived at the black market of talent that was rumored by many citizens for the first time. However, it was very crowded. That is on par with the regular talent market.
They were not afraid of being discovered at all, and Chu Yunfan was amazed by that. The forces supporting the black market talent might be invincible in Calm Ocean City and Donghua City.
He did not hesitate anymore and mingled with the crowd.
