Three days later, Su Yun used the Purple Cloud Wing and the Phantom Shadow Technique to fly through the sky.
Now that he had successfully broken through to the Spirit Fighter realm, his martial qi surged, and the burden of using both the Purple Cloud Wing and the Phantom Shadow Technique was much lighter.
He was a man who disliked trouble. Using the Purple Cloud Wing to fly within the Jiamai Empire might attract unwanted attention.
Although the likelihood was low, he preferred to avoid it if possible. His time was precious, and he didn't want to get entangled with people harboring ulterior motives.
After flying for half a day, he arrived at Blackrock City.
This city was located in the eastern part of the Jiamai Empire and was one of the top-ranking large cities. Although Wu Tan City was also a large city, it ranked low and couldn't compare to Blackrock City.
The streets were bustling with people, extremely prosperous.
Su Yun wore an Alchemist's robe and a face mask. He had no intention of using any particular identity. This place had nothing special, and there was no one worth getting to know, so he didn't need to put much thought into it.
He chose this place simply because it was more developed, making it easier to purchase medicinal herbs and magic cores.
As for buying them in the Tallgor Great Desert, he hadn't considered it.
That place was on the border of the Jiamai Empire, with many strong individuals, but it wasn't as prosperous and stable. It might not be as convenient as here.
Su Yun arrived at the Alchemist Guild in this city.
The guild's headquarters were very unique, resembling a cauldron, clearly custom-made.
It was much more advanced than the one in Luo Qianchen.
When he arrived at the entrance, no guards blocked his way. After all, he was wearing an Alchemist's robe, and the four silver stripes on his chest were very noticeable.
He had used a lot of medicinal herbs recently and needed to purchase more. Of course, the Alchemist Guild also exchanged magic cores, pill formulas, and other items, with Alchemists setting up stalls.
Su Yun entered the hall, bought some medicinal herbs from the staff, and then went to look at the stalls.
Many Alchemists were setting up stalls here, mostly First and Second Rank Alchemists. Third Rank Alchemists were rare, and there were no Fourth Rank Alchemists at all.
The Fourth Rank Alchemists in Blackrock City were probably only the guild's president, Fukelan, and the vice president, Otto.
Su Yun wandered around, occasionally using the system's scanning function to check the items on the stalls, hoping to find a good deal.
Unfortunately, he didn't seem to have that kind of luck.
He was very envious of Xiao Yan's good fortune in the capital, where he casually picked up a Heavenly Fire Tri-Phase Transformation first transformation formula.
Unfortunately, no matter how envious he was, that kind of luck wouldn't come to him.
However, Su Yun had already made up his mind.
When the time came, he would find a way to get that formula from Xiao Yan. Heh heh heh.
That weed should be ripe by now.
Su Yun smiled.
At the stalls, Su Yun only found two fourth-stage magic cores, which he bought at a high price.
He wasn't short of gold coins. Even among Alchemists, Su Yun was considered wealthy.
Most Alchemists were happy with a 40% success rate in pill refinement, but he had a 90% success rate, making the difference obvious.
Su Yun left the stalls and saw four people approaching.
Using the system's scanning function, he identified them as Fukelan and Otto, along with their disciples, Xuemai and Linfei.
Su Yun was a bit surprised but then understood.
It was normal for the guild president and vice president to check on a strange Fourth Rank Alchemist in their territory.
Su Yun's expression changed, and he thought he might be able to get their help.
He had only bought two fourth-stage magic cores, which wasn't enough to satisfy his needs. If he went to look for them himself, it would be troublesome and inefficient.
However, they were different. As the local powerhouses in Blackrock City, they knew the city's forces well and could be much faster.
Su Yun had a plan in mind, but his face remained expressionless. It didn't matter anyway, as he was wearing a face mask.
"Hello, I am Fukelan, the president of the Alchemist Guild in Blackrock City."
"I am Otto, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild."
The two men greeted Su Yun as they approached.
Su Yun nodded.
"Pleased to meet you, President and Vice President. I am Gu Feiyang."
Su Yun used a random name, knowing that his real name and appearance couldn't be easily revealed.
So far, only the Little Medical Fairy knew his true identity.
"Pleased to meet you, Master Gu Feiyang."
The two men politely greeted him.
When Su Yun entered the guild, someone had reported to them that a strange Fourth Rank Alchemist had arrived. They were naturally curious and decided to come and meet him.
The two men waved for Xuemai and Linfei to step forward, hoping to introduce them to Su Yun.
The master-disciple relationship in the Martial Qi continent was quite strong, and they both cared deeply for their disciples. They wanted to help the two build some connections, so they brought them along.
"Greetings, Master. I am Xuemai (Linfei)."
Su Yun nodded, understanding their intentions. Alchemists often passed their connections to their disciples.
"Master Gu Feiyang, why don't we exchange some experiences? There aren't many Fourth Rank Alchemists in the Jiamai Empire, as you know."
Fukelan extended an invitation to Su Yun.
This was their true purpose. They had only recently advanced to Fourth Rank Alchemists and were eager to exchange ideas and improve their alchemy skills.
Su Yun nodded, which suited his plans.
"That sounds good. I haven't met many fellow Fourth Rank Alchemists in a long time, so it would be great to exchange experiences."
The two men exchanged glances, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
The five of them went to a quiet room, with Xuemai and Linfei serving them.
After everyone was seated, Fukelan spoke first, as the host.
It wouldn't be appropriate to let Su Yun speak first. As for why Otto didn't speak first, it involved the hierarchy, similar to how in a school, the principal speaks first, followed by the vice principal, then the dean, and finally the teachers.
Fukelan talked about his understanding of Fourth Rank Alchemists, speaking for about half an hour.
Otto did the same.
Su Yun wasn't interested in what they said, and he even found it a bit amusing.
If he remembered correctly, these two had only recently advanced to Fourth Rank Alchemists after listening to Fama's lectures.
Calculating the time, they had probably advanced only one or two years ago?
The things they talked about were not only superficial but also incorrect in many places.
