Chapter 166: Trading a Spear for a Cannon

"Also..."

Nigel lowered his voice.

"During the period of verifying the potion, the high-grade precious secret pattern potion can be stopped."

"During this time, I will privately provide you with all the materials for the Soul Secret Pattern Potion. Of course, part of these materials are jointly funded by several masters in Sugg Ruins City."

"I hope that during this time... you can refine some 'Dawn of the Soul.' Naturally, the refining fee is negotiable."

"This is... asking me to take on private work!" Gune muttered inwardly.

"Several Transcendent Masters jointly funding... this is a good opportunity to build relationships."

Gune was well aware that official cooperation was one thing.

But these operations were handled by these Transcendent Masters and top-tier high-level Transcendents.

For instance, the three before him were almost the pinnacle of strength and power in Sugg Ruins City.

If he built good relations with these strong individuals, he could not only walk sideways in Sugg Ruins City but even walk backward.

The benefits of getting closer to these strong individuals were too numerous to mention.

Even in the future, if he could enter the noble strong class of the Yulan Empire, he would have some support.

Although powerful strength could ignore the rules of the noble class.

But Gune was still weak now.

In the process of becoming stronger, Gune would certainly need much leverage.

"Senior, rest assured, these small matters are what I should do."

"After all, I have seen the care you have shown me during this time."

"As for the refining fee, let's waive it!"

Gune was very clear about which money could be taken and which could not.

"Then I'll trouble you these few days." Nigel said with a light smile.

"Refining secret pattern potions is already a routine for me; if I don't refine, I feel idle." Gune joked.

Everyone laughed at that.

Joyful laughter filled the secret chamber.

...

Purple Magnolia Castle.

The fireplace area on the right side of the hall corridor.

The flames burned fiercely, dispelling the chill, and the sky outside gradually showed signs of clearing.

The maid Wendi, with a smile on her face, quickly and skillfully ground coffee for Gune.

Gune sat in the sofa area by the fireplace, recalling the words Nigel had said to him when he left earlier, and pondered slightly.

"Among the rewards, I will apply for a quota for you to obtain the 'Demonization Rune.' If you really get this quota, you must choose this 'Demonization Rune.' This thing cannot be bought even for a million gold pounds, and it greatly helps spellcasters."

Before Gune could ask for specific information about the Demonization Rune,

Nigel had already left.

"Demonization Rune, some special and rare spell rune?"

Gune, sitting on the sofa, picked up the coffee poured by Wendi and pondered while drinking.

In the Transcendent world, there were some very peculiar and powerful "spell runes."

They were few in number and extremely difficult for Transcendents to master.

Once they appeared, they left impressive legendary tales in history.

Hence, these runes with very ancient and long legendary histories were also called "legendary runes."

Among the "legendary runes,"

there was one called "Chaos Star," known as the "Chaos Rune."

This rune could give spells the characteristic of chaotic destruction.

Once a spell hit, the powerful "chaotic destruction characteristic" ignored any defense and could rapidly convert any shield, robe, armor, etc., into energy that dissipated and evaporated.

Even the Transcendent's own transcendent physical body, if not strong enough, would be evaporated on the spot by the power of the "Chaos Rune," leaving no trace.

There was also a legendary rune called the "Nether Rune."

This rune had the characteristic of transformation.

It could convert soul, flesh, and source power into each other.

If the soul was injured, no problem; through the "Nether Rune," convert flesh and source power to repair the soul.

There was also a legendary rune called the "Domain Rune."

The "domain spellcaster" path Gune was on was just a form of address; Gune did not actually possess a domain.

But condensing the "Domain Rune" allowed one to open up one's own domain.

By borrowing the domain, defensive power could be greatly enhanced.

Even a sufficiently powerful domain could withstand the bombardment of many spells out of thin air.

However, these powerful runes were all legendary runes, and Gune had only seen them in records of some ancient texts.

Perhaps because Gune's strength was weak, he had not come into contact with those powerful and peculiar runes.

But this time was different.

This "Demonization Rune" was a rune Gune had heard with his own ears and indeed existed.

According to Nigel, this rune was clearly extremely powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have urged Gune like that.

"A quota that can't be bought even for a million gold pounds; it seems the Pioneer Group has quite a few good things unknown to outsiders." Gune thought to himself.

Suppressing the thoughts about the "Demonization Rune" that Nigel had mentioned, Gune walked to the window with his coffee.

While watching the gradually clearing sky outside, Gune thought about matters related to his idle system's spell texts.

At the same time, Gune casually opened his idle system.

First idle slot: Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse (Level 4)

Second idle slot: Seboner Source Pool (Level 5)

Third idle slot: Soul Seal Codex (Level 4)

Fourth idle slot: Demon Blade Cunning Curse (Level 4)

Fifth idle slot: Blood Pool Codex (Level 4)

Finally, Gune's gaze fell on the Seboner Source Pool.

"Now the Seboner Source Pool provides me with a capacity expansion of six source pools every day; the speed is quite fast."

"For an ordinary spellcaster, that's takeoff speed, but for me, it's still not fast enough."

"Switching to a secret pattern source pool text is necessary."

"Although secret pattern source pool texts are extremely difficult to cultivate and expensive,"

"for me, they are not a problem."

"At the same time, the sixth idle slot will open in a month, and I should acquire a spell with penetrating destructive damage."

As Gune was pondering, footsteps sounded behind him.

From the footsteps, Gune could tell it was the butler Frais.

"Just in time." Gune said with a light smile.

Gune turned around to look at the butler Frais.

"Master Gune." Butler Frais bowed to Gune steadily and lightly.

"Senior Frais, come and sit." Gune said softly.

After Butler Frais sat down,

Gune poured him a cup of coffee and then spoke softly: "About my permissions?"

"Lord Nigel has already told me about that."

Frais spoke in a steady tone.

"You currently have Level 6 permissions, which is the highest level below Transcendent Masters."

"You can buy a great many things; basically, the various precious treasures you mentioned before can now be purchased."

"Of course, some items have quantity limits, such as the treasures for expanding the source pool that you've always wanted."

"Also, some secret pattern defense scrolls or life-saving teleportation scrolls are not allowed to be bought in large quantities."

"As for the Greater and Lesser Thunderflame Curses you've mentioned to me many times before, they are now available for sale on the Pioneer Group's list."

"Although there are restrictions, being able to buy them is already quite good." A smile spread across Gune's face.

Indeed, having developed the Soul Secret Pattern Potion, the treatment was different.
