Soon, it was night time.

Edward tidied his appearance and clothes in front of the mirror. Although he was not going to seduce a woman at this gathering, he still had to be presentable.

After putting the various potions that he had concocted over the past few days into his backpack, he prepared to set off for the gathering at the center of White Orchid City.

At the door, the wizard who was leading the way said fawningly when Edward came out, “Honorable Master Alchemist, I’ve already spread the news that you’re going to attend this gathering. They’re all waiting for you now, and they’re very interested in the potions!”

“Sir, I’m Wayne Shukari!”

Under Wayne’s lead, Edward arrived at the largest and most luxurious manor in the middle of White Orchid City.

In the warm hall, a sumptuous dinner was placed on a white tablecloth under the flickering candlelight.

It was a huge round table. The seats were filled with people in gorgeous clothes. There were only two empty seats.

The other was for the mysterious alchemist who had recently made gold coins the main currency of White Orchid City’s transactions.

He was given the lead position.

This was enough to prove Edward’s lofty status in their eyes!

Under the bright colors, Wayne led Edward into the hall.

“Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting. The most famous alchemist of White Orchid City is here!”

The noisy chatter instantly died down, and everyone turned to look at Edward!

Edward’s expression was calm as he felt everyone’s fervent gazes.

He had experienced such gazes many times in the Feylan Empire, and perhaps he had been a little nervous at first, but as time passed, it became a common occurrence!

“Alchemist from afar, come! Please take a seat!”

The organizer of the White Orchid Ball, Shulu, was also the descendant of the founder of the White Orchid Capital, the only Rank 2 Wizard around.

The pale man with long blond hair introduced Edward enthusiastically and introduced everyone present.

There were four Rank 1 Wizards, two Apprentice Wizards, and also two that Edward knew from earlier, so his attention was mainly on those four Rank 1 Wizards.

They were three men and one woman, and they all looked a little old. Compared to them, the initiator, Shulu, was shockingly young, and he was the strongest Rank 2 Wizard present!

“Since all the mysterious guests from the White Orchid are here, the gathering will officially begin tonight!”

This gathering was much smaller than Edward had imagined.

In his mind, gatherings were always crowded with wizards. He was not interested in such a small gathering.

He should head to the Eye of Storms earlier!

Edward stood at the front of the door with a fiery gaze. He did not want to waste any more time and went straight to the point.

“I don’t have much time right now. I have twenty bottles of potions with me, so let’s trade directly!”

“You can use valuable information regarding the Eye of Storms to trade, or you can use items filled with mysterious power to trade as well!”

After hearing Edward’s words, everyone thought about it in secret. Thinking about the information of the traveler that Wayne had mentioned before, they all understood now.

This was a true foreign wizard!

When Shulu saw this, he said, “Since there’s no problem, let this transaction begin!”

All eyes were on Edward. Tonight, he was the only lead in the gathering.

A backpack was placed on the table. The first batch of potions were five Cleansing Potions.

Edward waited for everyone to decide if they would consider exchanging, or if they were considering what to exchange for.

Transactions involving such potions would usually not be conducted in a small place like White Orchid City, so they were a little unsure.

After all, the prices of potions were high and unreachable, and there was no market for them.

Hence, Edward, who was very generous now, also stumped everyone.

The first transaction was made by the only witch present. She used two water element wizard spells for the exchange!

After calculating, the price was not too far off.

All five bottles of Cleansing Potion went to this lady.

The second transaction was five bottles of Frenzy Potion.

It could increase one’s power in a short period of time, causing the body to enter an excited state and reduce the sense of pain.

Now, a burly Rank 1 Wizard was very interested. From his size, one could tell that these potions were very suitable for him, and could be used as a life-saving trump card!

After hesitating for a few minutes, he took out some information about the strength of the wizards in the Eye of Storms and exchanged for the potions with a spell that was used in close combat for wizards.

Edward was very satisfied with this transaction. With this information, he would no longer have to search blindly in the Eye of Storms.

Forget about his bloodline for now, just as an alchemist, he had to spend a lot of resources on this profession.

The gold coins on him were definitely not enough.

Now that he had the map of the forces, it was easy to determine which faction he would join!

The last few bottles of Frenzy Potion and Cleansing Potion were taken away by the two remaining wizards, one Rank 1 and one Rank 2.

The founder of White Orchid City had also joined in by now.

Both of them traded simple spells and information about the Eye of Storms.

What was left was the final highlight, the transaction of the Meditation Potion!

The Apprentice Wizards were very envious, but they had nothing worth trading.

Edward had already gotten what he wanted, and it did not matter to him whether the potion deal was successful or not.

Along with the dazzling light, the last two bottles of meditation potion were placed in front of everyone.

This time, everyone could no longer sit still and stood up.

As people who had been in the Wizard World for many years, they had naturally heard of this potion.

It was precisely because they recognized this potion that they could not help but stand up.

They would never have thought that such a thing would appear at such a shabby small gathering!

Under the murderous gazes of many apprentices, Edward pushed a potion towards Wayne.

The information Wayne had spread for him was very useful. Otherwise, these people would not be carrying all sorts of maps regarding the Eye of Storms.

In the face of absolute benefits, there was no room for negotiation!

It would depend on Wayne himself if he could get the potion in the end!
