Wizard Immortality

Chapter 34 Workshop丨Concurrent Gathering

To curry favor with the powerful and flatter others.

Can't stand seeing others do better than him.

Human nature.

Vic was not surprised. He looked calm and composed.

Brody has a sharp eye.

Back then, when he took in Vic, his calmness and decisiveness were all excuses.

What he really valued was another precious quality in Vic.

The wizard's road is long and dark, with no end in sight.

The strength of one's talent can determine who is superior or inferior at a certain time.

But the ability to stick to one's original heart, not be swayed by external things, and purely pursue knowledge can determine the upper limit of a wizard.

Vic has this kind of precious character.

Brody understood this, but when he asked himself, he realized he couldn't do it.

He gets angry if others insult him.

He dared not say that he did not appreciate the compliments from others.

Looking at Vic now, the bald old apprentice's eyes were even more appreciative.

I even had a vague premonition in my heart.

As long as this young apprentice named Vic does not die midway, he will definitely be promoted to a first-level wizard in the future and become the backbone of the academy.

He wanted to follow suit and form a teacher-student relationship with Vic to gain benefits.

But then I thought about it.

Back then, he formed a teacher-student relationship with the first-level wizard Devin Adkins. He had no ulterior motives but pure admiration and truly wanted to cultivate a talented wizard.

Now that interests are at stake, you might end up making things worse and become a laughing stock.

Better to keep the status quo.

Brody put down the pliers in his hand, was silent for a while, and said bluntly, "The fact that you can come back here means that you have made some plans.

Everyone has a different path in life.

Don't worry, I won't stop you.

If you need help anywhere, you can always come to me.”

Speaking of help, Vic really needs Brody to help him with something. He said, "I plan to open an alchemy workshop in the trading market. I may need you to help me communicate with the market manager and rent a store in a better location."

Brody raised his eyebrows.

Small eyes, sharp gaze.

Judging from the appearance alone, Vic is ordinary from head to toe, with no highlights at all, whether in looks or temperament.

"I have connections who can help you rent a store in a good location, but the rent is expensive. Do you have that many soul stones?"

Vic understood what the other party meant.

He flipped his right hand, and a small bag of twenty soul stones appeared in his palm. He walked over and handed it to Brody, saying, "I have saved some wealth over the years, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Vic's attitude was always humble.

If there were no mines.

Brody thought he had seen countless people, but he couldn't see through the young man in front of him.

He snorted coldly in his heart.

Have some worth?
A boy who is very secretive and cunning.

Twenty soul stones are given out in one move.

In his opinion, God knows how much he has accumulated in the four years following an alchemist.

The secret fire silver ingot he smelted that time alone was worth one hundred soul stones.

I really don't know how this young guy can bear the loneliness and not look for those young and beautiful female wizards of the same period to show off his wealth and enjoy the flattery of others.

But then I thought about it.

Brody laughed inwardly.

He laughed at himself and said that having such thoughts was superficial and worse than a young boy.

He not only understands how to deal with people and doesn't offend others easily, but he also has such an extraordinary character.

For a while.

The more Brody looked at Vic, the more he liked him.

He simply accepted the soul stone and said bluntly, "Come to my workshop in half a month and I will help you with this matter."

Vic bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you."

The trading market of Black Tower Academy is different from the trading market run by wizard families.

Competition among shops here is fierce.

As far as Vic knew, there were three alchemists in the academy's market who were hard to come by with a huge salary in the outside world, not counting Brody, the alchemist who had an aloof status, worked only for the academy, and did not accept orders from outsiders.

Opening a store is full of difficulties, and it is not enough to just have money.

The qualifications of practitioners need to be reviewed.

A guarantee from a reputable wizard from the academy is required.

Finally, it has to go through layers of review before it can be approved. Moreover, some shops in good locations are difficult to rent without connections, even if you have money.

Aaron's shop is located in the corner of the trading market, with limited customer flow, and his business is far less than that of astrologers' shops in good locations.

Finish these things.

Vic did not rest, but rushed to the college library immediately to learn knowledge and accumulate experience.

This was his right after he became a wizard's apprentice.

All the knowledge in the great library is freely available.

for exchange.

Vic has a new obligation. He needs to select two students from the new batch and be responsible for teaching and guiding them on the path of becoming wizards.

but.

The college has already selected a new batch of students, so he needs to wait for a while.

After returning to college.

Vic's life gradually stabilized.

Although the shops in the trading market opened smoothly, wizards who went to the shops to place orders often did not see the alchemists who ran the shops.

If you place an order at 'Vic's Alchemy Workshop', it usually takes a week to get the goods.

One to two days later than the average alchemist.

Even the shop's neighbors were curious about this alchemist named Vic.

The workshop is located near the entrance of the trading market, with huge flow of people.

The annual rent is eighty soul stones.

As long as the alchemist is strong enough and works hard, the profit he earns each year will not be less than three hundred soul stones.

Unfortunately, the owner of the shop was nowhere to be seen all day, and there was only a flying magic pen in the shop to record orders, and no living person could be seen.

even so.

After three months, Vic's Alchemy Workshop still accumulated an excellent reputation.

The delivery time is one or two days later than other alchemists, but the quality and quantity are never wrong. Even the occasional orders of excellent quality can be delivered on time.

Before opening the Alchemy Workshop.

Vic did not act on impulse, but rather planned carefully.

Time is precious.

He had to balance learning the knowledge in the Great Library and earning soul stones.

With his ability as a senior apprentice, it was not difficult for him to complete apprentice-level orders and he had plenty of free time.

So during these three months, except for returning to the workshop to complete orders, he spent the rest of his time immersed in the library.

During this period, a lot of materials would be left over from each order, which he would resell and turn into extra income.

Request one week for delivery.

Vic did it on purpose.

If you want to earn soul stones, then there is not much point in hiding your attainments in alchemy, but if you reveal too much, you will inevitably be noticed.

One week.

Two days later than the average Alchemist delivery time.

But the quantity and quality of his shipments are guaranteed.

Therefore, this extra time and the excellent orders that are occasionally completed are the image of a reclusive master that Vic deliberately cultivates.

It will help improve his competitiveness and that of his peers.

in business.

Marketing methods are as important as strength.

Just three months.

Vic and his alchemy workshop have become well-known in the trading market of Black Tower Academy.

More and more wizard apprentices came to him to place orders.

Senior apprentices would visit from time to time.

this day.

Vic left the Great Library and returned to the Alchemy Workshop as usual to process the backlog of orders and earn soul stones.

but.

A tall, imposing young man wearing the standard black robe of the academy.

I was already waiting outside the workshop.

After seeing Vic, he came up to him very warmly, laughed heartily, and said, "Vic, I don't know if you still remember me. We were both students in the August class of 1973.

Tested together.

My name is Grant."

Vic looked at him and said coldly, "My orders are full. You can come next week."

The words are not finished yet.

Grant hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood me. I am not here to place an order, but to invite you to attend our annual simultaneous gathering of the Seventh Three Realms."
