Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1503: Chapter 1500: The World-Shocking Rune, Alchemist Appears (1st Update)

Wen Jinkui stared blankly at the gear floating before him, his eyes that had appraised countless treasures gradually widened, and the expression on his face grew increasingly excited.

"This... this is a glyph that has never appeared before! But I can feel that it contains extremely powerful force! My god, this is simply incredible..."

Wen Jinkui murmured to himself, his expression vacant.

It was no wonder he was so shocked. As an auctioneer with a high level of discernment, he was well aware of what an entirely new glyph that had never appeared before could mean!

It could represent a new power, an unexplored vast world.

And in this gradually declining Alchemy era, mastering a new power largely equated to vast wealth and high prestige.

This was why Wen Jinkui was so astonished.

Meanwhile, after hearing Wen Jinkui’s muttering, the entire venue was in an uproar.

Several high-ranking alchemists in the front row had already stood up, eagerly rushing to the front of the stage, nearly greedily gazing at the glyph on the gear.

But after gazing for only a few breaths, traces of blood appeared in the eyes of these high-ranking alchemists, and before they could react, droplets of bloody tears fell from their eyes.

"No good! Everyone, close your eyes, this glyph is of an extremely high tier, beyond our comprehension, do not look!" One high-ranking alchemist exclaimed in alarm.

Hearing his shout, the other high-ranking alchemists hurriedly closed their eyes, turning their heads away, not daring to look again.

But the rest of the people in the audience weren’t affected. They all looked curiously at the gear floating on the high stage, shock evident in many of their eyes.

Because they had all heard what Wen Jinkui had said earlier.

If it truly was a completely new glyph that had never appeared before, its value would be immense.

Yet the crucial question was why did this seemingly ordinary youth, apart from looking excessively handsome, possess such a glyph?

This question also lingered in Liu Jingyi’s mind.

She looked at Xue An with astonishment, suddenly realizing that her earlier assessments of this youth were all wrong, and very much so.

It was laughable that she had just thought he was very arrogant, but now it seemed that the arrogant one should be herself!

Meanwhile, the group of noble family scions who had previously been the most mocking of Xue An, were now dumbfounded, and a look of fear gradually appeared in their eyes as they looked at Xue An.

At the same time, Xue An calmly asked Wen Jinkui on the high stage, "Is my bid sufficient?"

Wen Jinkui trembled all over, only then snapping out of his shocked stupor, a solemn look appearing on his face, and he bowed deeply to Xue An.

"My apologies, my lord, earlier I was blind and inattentive to your presence! As for the bid you asked about, I can’t decide on my own, I need to contact the seller!"

Xue An’s lips curled into a slight smile, "Alright! I’ll wait!"

But just then, a voice came from the box behind.

"Wait a moment!"

Then the black curtain was suddenly pulled open, revealing a figure in the box.

Upon seeing this figure, the auction hall that had just calmed down was once again in turmoil.

"How is this possible!" Many people stood up with shock on their faces.

Even those high-ranking alchemists, who had been arrogant before, trembled all over when they saw this figure, then stood respectfully in place with their heads bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Indeed!

The man present in the hall was wearing a light purple robe, emblazoned with the symbol of the Tower of Truth, but next to the tower symbol was not three leaves but a golden rose!

This is the emblem of an Alchemist of the Tower of Truth.

The difference in capability between an Alchemist and a Magician, though just one word apart, is worlds apart.

To become a Magician, one might just need immense wealth and somewhat better talent.

But to qualify as an Alchemist, it is not that simple.

Not only must one have adequate talent and wealth, but they must also pass the rigorous assessments of the Tower of Truth to earn the right to don the purple robe.

So upon seeing the floral emblem on this man’s attire, these magicians immediately acted like mice seeing a cat, not daring to breathe loudly, respectfully addressing him as Senior Brother.

This is also a customary rule within the Tower of Truth, no matter the age, if the other party’s strength is above yours and their rank is higher, you must respectfully call them Senior Brother.

Facing the respectful address from these magicians, the man merely nodded slightly, then took a deep look at the gear still floating on the high platform, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

But soon, he regained his composure and smiled slightly at Wen Jinkui.

"Mr. Wen, there’s no rush about this matter! I would like to have a few words with this friend over here!"

Wen Jinkui hesitated slightly upon hearing this, then looked toward Xue An.

He didn’t know how to handle this situation now.

Xue An just smiled faintly at this, "What do you want to say to me?"

"Allow me to introduce myself first, I am Liang Ming, an officially recognized Alchemist of the Tower of Truth!" the man said with a smile, though there was a hint of pride hidden in his smile.

Indeed.

Upon hearing his name, many well-informed people were shocked.

"Liang Ming! Is he the Alchemist who has risen to fame in recent years?"

"I heard he is the genius most likely to become a Grand Master Alchemist before the age of forty!"

Amid the exclamations, the stance of those magicians became even more standard!

Even Liu Zhang in the box, upon hearing this name, trembled all over, then slumped in his chair, utterly bereft of hope.

To attract the desire of such a renowned Alchemist, it was obvious that this Alchemy Armor was beyond his reach.

Liang Ming was evidently quite pleased with the reactions, and his smile grew increasingly broad.

"Friend, although I don’t know how you got your hands on this item, I have to say, it truly exemplifies a hero emerging from youth!"

Xue An arched an eyebrow slightly, smiling without truly smiling, "And then?"

Xue An’s attitude made the man’s face slightly uneasy.

He had thought that with his status and position, such praise would at least elicit some response from this young man in white.

Surprisingly, the other party seemed utterly indifferent throughout!

But soon, Liang Ming regained his composure, saying with a smile, "Friend, to be frank, I am determined to obtain this item because it is very important to me! And you, my friend, are not an Alchemist, this ancient armor would be of little use to you, so how about this!"

"You withdraw from the bidding, and I... will provide you with reasonable compensation!"

"Reasonable compensation?" Xue An smiled, "What compensation?"

"It’s simple, you will gain the friendship of an officially certified Alchemist of the Tower of Truth!" Liang Ming said with an air of pride.
