952 Gnome Treasury
The gnome was carefully polishing some parts, preparing to make something.

Some of them used rune pens to engrave runes on the parts.

The gnome alchemists set up an alchemy array and placed all kinds of raw material ores. Under the rapid operation, all the impurities were removed, and the essence was condensed. Then, they fused into one and transformed into new metals.

This was a sizeable forging base.

Everyone was immersed in their production, utterly unconcerned about the outside world.

He noticed that there were humans involved.

In front of a workbench, an older man drew on paper with a pen. He seemed to be making blueprints. Beside him were many humans helping him. They appeared to be assistants.

“Haha, this is my forging base and your human race weapon master, Luo Lianping. This time, the runes gun was completed us. Thanks to Brother Luo’s design, it was completed.”

Arcus spoke highly of Luo Lianping.

For people like them, only true talent and ability could convince each other.
Birds of a feather flock together.

“I’ll bring you to the treasure vault to choose some treasures first. It’ll broaden your horizons,” said Arcus proudly.

Arcus’ treasury was also in the underground base.

Following his lead, they arrived in front of a giant metal door. Arcus used a complicated technique to hit the metal door. Immediately, a gnome totem appeared on the door. A gnome opened its mouth wide, with a hole within.

Then, Arcus took out a simple and ordinary-looking golden key. The key was cylindrical, but it contained countless tiny holes. After inserting the key, uneven sawteeth naturally popped out of the holes, perfectly fitting the keyhole.

This key could be activated with true essence and spiritual power. The holes on the key were selectively serrated. If there were any mistakes, opening the door would be impossible.

Creating such a key was no simple matter.

This was a method of alchemy.

Kacha!

As the key was inserted, the metal door made a crisp sound like gears were running. The originally seamless metal door split open from the middle and naturally shrank to both sides, revealing a path.

“Let’s go. This is the treasury of Dark Spirit Town. This treasury is the safest,” said Arcus confidently.

This was no ordinary treasury.

The treasury was made of special metals. At a glance, it looked like the vaults of modern banks. Its defence was the highest it could produce.

Walking into the treasury, they were surrounded by metal shelves. There were all kinds of treasures on the shelves. Some were stored in jade boxes, while others were placed directly on top. There were many treasures stored here. They were exquisite, and many of them naturally flickered with treasure light. That light seemed to be the light of a rare treasure.

Dark Spirit Town was a black market. Moreover, the gnome had alchemy and business capabilities. It was no surprise that many treasures were here.

There were also a large number of strange, alchemy products inside.

“Alright, my honoured guest of the human race, this is Arcus’ treasury. You may view it as you wish and choose anything you want to trade. However, the currency of the transaction must be Star Coins. I wonder if you will accept this trade?”

Arcus was very confident in his treasure vault. He believed the treasures in his treasure vault would qualify Li Xiang’s willingness to exchange for a large sum of Star Coins.

“What is this? Is this refined by alchemy?”

Li Xiang came to a shelf and saw a crystal glass bottle. The bottle contained a colourful liquid that looked like a rainbow. It was wonderful. Lovable, even.

“This is Rainbow Potion. Alchemy refined it using materials such as crystals, precious blue books, rubies, the Seven Illusion Rainbow Butterfly powder and lotus leaves. Not only could the Rainbow Potion be eaten, but it could also be opened directly. It would naturally emit rainbow light and scatter in all directions. Those covered by the rainbow light would be in a hallucinatory state. If consumed directly, it could strengthen one’s mental power. According to the words of human race cultivators, it could strengthen one’s primordial spirit,” introduced Arcus.

The Rainbow Potion was an item obtained using alchemy.

“Alchemy is indeed magical. Some irrelevant things can be turned into wonderful potions under alchemy.”

Li Xiang nodded. Under his probing skill, he discovered the Rainbow Potion of divine grade. Alchemists could refine potions, many of which were strange yet powerful. They used orthodox methods, unlike conventional pharmacists, who usually resorted to standard procedures.

Their mixing technique and strength significantly affected the quality of the medicine.

Although alchemists were not conventional pharmacists, they could do things that many pharmacists could not.

“What kind of medicine is this?”

Li Xiang looked at the bottle of green potion again. The brew was still bubbling with green bubbles. It looked like a witch’s potion.

“This is the Frog Potion. It is amazing to drink it. It can turn a living being into a frog. However, there’s a time limit. It will recover in about a day. The effect of the medicine varies from person to person,” said Arcus with a smile.

“What is this bottle?”

Li Xiang looked at another bottle of potion. It was golden in colour and looked stunning.

“This is Luminant Gold Devil Oil. It isn’t edible but can be smeared on divine weapons. If you smear it all over, it allows the divine weapons and magic treasures to evolve by one or even two grades, though it is also possible that they will only be slightly stronger and not evolve. This could be considered an alchemy treasure that gambled on one’s luck. Of course, this potion could only be effective on divine weapons and magical artefacts at the divine weapon level. It would be useless beyond this level,” introduced Arcus again.

The Luminant Gold Devil Oil was an incredibly magical item. It was usually not easy to upgrade a magic tool or divine weapon. However, the Luminant Gold Devil Oil in front of him could allow this process to be completed instantly and even advance several grades.
