Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 842 - 150: Obtaining Epic-level Master Alchemist 2

[Task Requirement: Build a ten-kilometer comprehensive defense position under the World Tree]

[Task Reward: Steel Barrier Potion*10, Dark Elf Recruitment Scroll*10] (Can be repeatedly accepted)

Lin Rui didn't take on many of the Imperial Recruitment Orders, but these two, which can be repeatedly accepted, he used nearly one hundred thousand War Altar guards to repeatedly farm achievements for!

Moreover, all the Heroic Commander troops in the territory were fighting day and night. Without reservation, Lin Rui was the biggest hero in this battle of the forest and graveyard showdown. Without Lin Rui, who knows how many more would have died in the forest.

Lin Rui only asked for some wealth from the forest, which was exceedingly lenient.

Thus, Rose said outright: "Regarding the Imperial Recruitment Order, I can make the decision to hand over to you. After all, it's not something overly precious."

Lin Rui gritted his teeth and asked: "Not something overly precious? Then why did you charge me tens of thousands of Spirit Crystal Coins for a single potion back then?"

Rose paused, gave him a charming smile, and winked as she said: "At that time, each served their master~ You shouldn't be so petty."

"Fine, no hard feelings." Lin Rui immediately waved his hand and said: "I can forgo the reward for Imperial Recruitment Order Seven. See if you can exchange it for a few Master Alchemists for me?"

Several thousand potions are insignificant either to the elves or Lin Rui.

Exchanging several thousand potions for a few alchemists capable of producing Epic Potions would undoubtedly ensure ongoing benefits.

With various territorial traits of the Golden Pansy Domain, even five alchemists could quickly scale up production.

Moreover, these elves are Longevity Species, even if they only produce Epic Potions, Lin Rui wouldn't lose out.

Should any of them receive inspiration or be influenced by the Territorial Strategic Treasure: Lucky Coin: Sand Washing or the blessing of Semi-Divine Artifact: Radiant Hourglass, thereby breaking through their traits and skills to produce Legendary Potions.

Then Lin Rui would strike it rich overnight.

In the future, selling Legendary Potions as specialty items to various trade guilds would certainly bring in profits overflowing.

The friendship price Rose offered Lin Rui for Epic Potions was tens of thousands per unit.

Lin Rui's Legendary Potions would easily fetch several million, even ten million per unit!

With eleven units, Lin Rui could make a billion with tears and blood.

And for Lin Rui, having Spirit Crystal Coins meant an increase in strength, as there were so many engines of combat in the territory that could grow stronger just by investing.

Even in the worst-case scenario, allowing Audrey to eliminate Command Value continuously could produce a large number of Spiritual Gems.

With an ocean of Spiritual Gems, Lin Rui could once again activate Semi-Divine Artifact: Radiant Hourglass.

It's a perfect cycle; it's just that the cycle time might become longer and longer.

Therefore, it requires the acceleration of Territorial Essence, and Audrey's Blood Tax trait is enhanced by a historically significant trait.

Rose considered it and said: "If you want Master Alchemists, I myself can't make the decision. Each Master Alchemist holds a relatively prestigious position, and I need to apply to the Imperial Court. But I think if your intuition is correct, the Empress probably wouldn't refuse."

"Then immediately put in the report application, and let's go into the treasury of the Imperial Court to select as soon as possible."

At this point in time, as long as Lin Rui isn't overly outrageous, the Empress wouldn't pay attention.

The elves' treasures are separately hidden under the protection of the Root of Hope, the flourishing Golden Tower, embraced by the Branch of Wisdom, the Endless Treasure Mountain, the Mysterious Treasure House under the Colorful Gem Tree Crown, the Golden Hall illuminated by the Dawn's Light, and the House of Luxuriant Branches and Foliage.

Last time, Lin Rui went to the Golden Hall illuminated by the Dawn's Light to look for Strategic Treasure.

This time, Lin Rui wants to find Soul Seal, so Rose directly took Lin Rui to the Endless Treasure Mountain embraced by the Branch of Wisdom.

Lin Rui curiously asked: "How are these treasures categorized?"

Rose calmly replied: "It's quite simple. The flourishing Golden Tower under the protection of the Root of Hope consists mostly of territorial development items, hence the name."

"The Endless Treasure Mountain embraced by the Branch of Wisdom is for enhancing individual combat power—having intellect brings wisdom."

"The Mysterious Treasure House under the Colorful Gem Tree Crown comprises items with rather miraculous functions."

"You've seen the effects of the Golden Hall illuminated by the Dawn's Light. The House of Luxuriant Branches and Foliage is related to Divine Spirits, used for sacrificial items, usually managed personally by the Empress. We're not quite sure."

Lin Rui instantly became interested and suggested: "How about we visit the House of Luxuriant Branches and Foliage later? I have a feeling there'll be surprises!"

"Maybe it'll be a shock." Rose hesitated a bit, feeling as if they were prying into the Empress's biggest secret, worried that the Empress might anytime eliminate the two of them.

Lin Rui laughed and waved his hand, saying: "What are you imagining the Empress as? Some demon that kills without mercy? You folks are at most differing in ambition now; the Empress understands the concept of harmony without uniformity. Moreover, even if you lose the Plane Crystal Core, it's not necessarily true that a world would be destroyed; at most… it might become desolate, turning into a wasteland? Know that many Divine Spirits' Divine Kingdoms also lack Plane Crystal Cores. We're going to see what the Empress has prepared, to prepare for my future ascension."

"You're just guessing; you don't even know what happens after ascension. What if the Empress is furious?"

"Precisely because we don't know, it's all the more reason to explore. Rest assured, rest assured, at the moment, I'm the most important blade in the Empress's hand; she won't do anything to me. Without me to kill the Shadow of Evil and capture the world's attention, many of her plans can't unfold. At times like this, not being bold is missing a great opportunity. Heaven grants but doesn't take; calamity strikes; time arrives but doesn't act; disaster ensues."

Rose couldn't argue with him and could only concede once again, saying: "Alright, what kind of trait are you looking for? There are too many Soul Seals in the treasury. If you let me find one, I'm afraid I won't know where to start."

Lin Rui, of course, had a plan already. He immediately posted a trait from other members of the territory.

[Divine Light Protection: Epic Trait: The display of Knight's Faith, filled with divine power. Knights can gather divine energy; whenever attacked, they rely on the Power of Faith to unleash intense energy, increasing 300 points of armor and enhancing the life recovery speed of all allied units within a 100-meter radius by 30%, lasting 30 seconds (this trait can be continuously stacked).]

"Something like this, able to continuously enhance combat capabilities, only stronger, and if it could be further consolidated, that would be ideal."

This was an Epic Trait gained by Holy Grail Knights at Tier Seven. Whenever attacked, it enhances protection and boosts life recovery speed for all allies. This effect could be repeatedly stacked by different soldiers from different directions, meaning if there are multiple Holy Grail Knights within a 100-meter radius, they would boost allied units when attacked, leading to a potential 3000% surge in life recovery speed.

Because it's an Epic Trait, it generally doesn't involve Super-Tier abilities like Divine Resistance.

Thus, Lin Rui hopes to find a stronger Legendary-level ability that any soldier can gain, allowing rapid elevation of Divine Resistance and other attributes in a short time.

Honestly, even this Epic Trait is potent enough. A mortal army receiving this ability, stacking thirty thousand armor and thirtyfold recovery speed in a short time, would render opponents unable to inflict effective damage even while encircling them.

If it could further evolve into a Legendary-level trait, with comprehensive improvements in Divine Damage, Divine Resistance, recovery speed, offense, defense, and more, the combat power of Lin Rui's followers would vastly outstrip other forces.
