The Genius Mage

The reception room gradually quieted down. Mack and Audrey were waiting for the appraisal results.

According to Audrey’s description, the alchemy potion should be a level-8 Beyonder item if she was not wrong.

A level-8 Beyonder item that could break through levels was quite rare in their Spark City.

As long as it was confirmed to be true, he would definitely spend a large sum of money to buy it.

An hour later, a bald, middle-aged man walked into the reception room in a hurry. The maidservants behind him seemed unable to keep up with him as they jogged behind him.

“Master Merci, why are you here in person?”

When Mack saw the bald, middle-aged man, he immediately stood up and bowed. His words and actions were filled with respect.

This person was one of the alchemists that the Lisi Chamber of Commerce had hired at a high price, Merci Kelda.

Merci Kelda’s status in the Lisi Chamber of Commerce was quite high. In fact, it was not just the Lisi Chamber of Commerce. Even in the entire Spark City, he was also a distinguished guest of the various influential figures. As a result, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to ask for his help.

Because Master Merci was a high-level Tier 1 alchemist, he belonged to the category of alchemists that could make potions. Almost all the influential figures and families in Spark City wanted extraordinary potions, and they all asked for him.

“Mr. Mack, which master refined this potion?”

Master Merci raised the potion in his hand and asked with an excited expression.

The potion in his hand was the one that Audrey had refined. When the maid sent it to be appraised, she had coincidentally met Master Merci.

After Master Merci heard about the effects of this potion from the maid, he was very interested and requested to appraise it personally.

Thus… the following scene happened.

“Master Merci, what’s wrong?”

Mack hurriedly asked. He had never seen Master Merci so agitated. Any alchemist was a synonym for nobility and respect. Although, therefore, they would always maintain their elegant image in front of outsiders, it was rare for them to be so agitated.

Master Merci held the potion and said excitedly, “This potion is very unusual. It can only be refined by a Tier 2 alchemist at the very least. It could even be a Tier 3 alchemist… no, it could even be higher… But, I do not doubt that it’s a Tier 4 alchemist’s work…”

Master Merci was so excited that he even began to speak incoherently. Only he, who was also an alchemist, could understand how extraordinary this potion was.

“What?”

Mack’s expression changed slightly. It was at least the work of a Tier 2 alchemist. It could even be tier 3 or Tier 4?

Was it not simple?

“Mr. Mack, is that alchemist in Spark City? Where is he?”

Merci grabbed Mack’s hands excitedly and asked expectantly.

If there really were such a powerful alchemist in Spark City, he would definitely visit him. This was a fortuitous encounter that even if he prayed to the heavens, he would not receive.

Perhaps that master would not necessarily accept him as a disciple. Still, as long as he was willing to impart some alchemy experience to him, it would be a matter of endless benefit.

Listening to a master’s words was better than studying for ten years.

He only needed to chat with that master for a meal, and perhaps it would be better than him staying behind closed doors and bitterly cultivating for ten years.

This was also the reason why Master Merci was so eager to find Mack.

The advancement of an alchemist was quite difficult. It was far more difficult than the advancement of a cultivator’s realm.

For example, Master Merci could be considered one of the most powerful alchemists in Spark City, but it was nothing in the huge Jones Empire.

If he did not have the guidance of a master, he would probably be like this for the rest of his life. He could not break through to the level of a Tier 2 alchemist.

In fact, a small place like Spark City could not give birth to a Tier 2 alchemist.
