Chapter 35 [Super Magic Dust]

```

...

This object is not a new creation.

It has long existed in the Wizard World.

Very expensive.

According to the information booklet provided by President Deer Horn Vander, the "Super Magic Dust" is a breakthrough material.

Used for Peak Apprentices to break through to become First Rank Wizards.

From Apprentice Level to full Wizard Level.

The most important aspects are two.

Spiritual power activation!

Magic Guiding Body Demonization!

The "Super Magic Dust" serves the latter effect and is a synthetic material said to be producible only by wizards possessing a Wizard Tower.

Born in the Element Pool.

Priced up to fifty thousand Magic Stones.

Wild Wizards want to buy it but have neither the connections nor the money...

It is incredible to be able to obtain "Super Magic Dust" through synthesizing Magic Soil.

Of course, this isn't ordinary Magic Soil that autonomously generates Magic Power; how could it be ordinary?

If it wasn't for the fact that leaving that special region gradually diminishes the soil's uniqueness, the Salt Marsh would be scooped empty—

Synthesizing this stuff is very draining.

Lin Suo has been lazy these many days, mostly because of it.

Frequently consuming "endless" energy and mental strength.

Lin Suo keeps the "Super Magic Dust" as a strategic resource reserve, too scared to sell it.

And it's a bit over his level; he doesn't need it for now.

Thus, there's no further plan to return to the Salt Marsh.

At least not until he breaks through Peak Apprentice and is just a step away from becoming a real Wizard—then it won't be too late to stealthily collect the soil.

"Sigh..."

"Having gold but too afraid to sell, can only sell antiques to maintain a living, just like this."

...

The next day.

Dressed neatly and with a cap, Lin Suo, holding a cane, leisurely headed towards the Antique Guild headquarters.

Lin Suo paid a thousand Gold Coins in membership fees every month.

His treatment naturally improved.

With his mastery as a Language Master, his accuracy in appraising ancient books is nearly one hundred percent.

And when dealing with antiques that contain sacrificial text, there's even less to say.

Just from the pressure applied while writing, he could tell if it was genuine or not.

Openly breaking into Dan Dong's noble merchant class, he already decided to deal in antiques.

This visit, he planned to use the connections fostered over these few months to purchase some cherished antique appraisal books.

The common goods available in the market have too low accuracy.

He has tried consuming books—ingesting damn twenty volumes didn't even yield one Antique Master Skill, which spoke volumes.

Too much of the content is fake, very little real knowledge.

These shrewd folks, the fool-the-commons policy is too well executed, and Dan Dong is teeming with new-rich, better at reaping these people's wealth than harvesting leeks.

In prosperous times antiques, in chaotic times gold.

The Dan Dong Empire is exactly at its peak.

Entering this field isn't too late now, of course, his real identity will never meet old John.

The mere first contact implies it would be the last.

His connections, also can't be messed up, a steady trickle is the proper way.

Sitting in the VIP room.

After several sips of tea, tea in the Dan Dong Empire tastes more like milk tea, terribly sweet, added way too much creamer and sweetener, completely unpalatable.

Unconvinced, Lin Suo picked up the cup for the third time.

At this moment, the Vice President of the Antique Guild walked in.

Seeing Lin Suo, a wealthy and knowledgeable person, an immediate smile blossomed on his face.

"Good day, Mr. Rhein, welcome to the headquarters, is there anything you need assistance with?"

```

Lin Suo nodded and smiled.

"Vice President Colin, I need some genuine antique identification books. Do you have someone to recommend?"

Colin is a middle-aged elite with the physical strength of an Intermediate Knight, said to come from a family in the Imperial City, and the Antique Association in Koster was established as his private enterprise.

As for why he is the Vice President, just ask the President who shares his last name...

"Rare books."

Colin thoughtfully said.

"Mr. Rhein intends to open an antique shop in Koster, which indeed requires more specialized knowledge."

"Exactly, if…"

"Yes, Mr. Rhein, please wait a moment."

Interrupting Lin Suo's words, Colin quickly walked out and returned with a stack of papers, which he put on the table.

"Mr. Rhein, these are members of our Antique Association who collect precious books, the first three families all have collections of more than ten books."

"As far as I know, there is only one person who permanently resides in Koster, and he usually lives in the capital of the Empire."

Lin Suo frowned, these type of precious books are like treasures as described.

They describe the detailed introductions of treasures from various races throughout history, intended to prevent their own people from switching them, thus they pay great attention to detail.

Once obtained by antique merchants, they naturally serve as the basis for identification.

Besides ordinary treasures, there are also records of numerous transcendent treasures.

It must be said, the Dan Dong merchants have very keen senses, such books could be regarded as family heirlooms passed down through generations.

To always possess them means, inevitably, it's a Wizard Family—Shh… power is the truth!

A bit troublesome.

Colin seemed to see his dilemma and joked.

"Wouldn't you want to ask who is the only one who stays in Koster?"

Lin Suo gave him a puzzled look.

"Could it be you?"

"You are impressive, sir."

"Is it really you?!"

*stunned.gif*

(ÓдÓ)!!

Colin thought for a moment and said.

"I come from the capital's Fire King family, which is no secret in Koster, and due to certain matters, I almost never go back."

"As for the antique books I mentioned, sir, you don't have to worry about their authenticity."

"They are all collected by me over the years in Koster; ordinary people don't recognize their value, but could I not understand? When meeting someone who recognizes their value, they can definitely be sold for a big price."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't need money, but a way."

Lin Suo closed his eyes in thought, the matter was already quite clear from the conversation.

"When did you find out?"

Colin humbly smiled, he had been observing Lin Suo for a while now, even if Lin Suo didn't bring it up, it wouldn't be long before he would actively seek a deal.

"Probably about a month after you joined the Association, there was a time when that Elf lady came to see you, I accidentally heard some content."

Lin Suo: "…"

"Alright, let's hear your offer first."

"I have five books related to the Sea Clan documenting much hidden knowledge, plus two for the Beastman Clan, and one for the Elf Clan."

"There are about twenty-three more damaged books, because of severe damage, a lot is incomplete, covering the knowledge of treasures from all the different races, all brought by merchant ships."

Very tempting, but not enough!

Lin Suo shook his head.

"Seeing me, you should understand that this is a formal Wizard Level Meditation Method."

"You can't buy this in places like the Late Bell Church, White Tower, or Ocean Academy."

Colin clenched his teeth and raised the price.

"An additional hundred thousand Gold Coins?"

Seeing that Lin Suo still didn't respond, pressed his entire family fortune.

"I have an antique shop with thirty years of reputation, it was the origin of my enterprise, I'll give it to you, how about that?"

"Deal!"

Lin Suo reached out his right hand with a smile.
