Above the Ancient One, Below the Masters
Wish?
Dream?
Master Murphyson's face immediately showed a puzzled expression.
He wasn't born a carefree hermit who spent his life as a librarian; in fact, he also harbored ambitions to rule Kamar-Taj. After all, who wouldn't want to be the supreme Sorcerer Supreme?
However.
The harsh reality and the stark contrast with the world forced him to accept his fate.
But if he had a choice, he would never settle for mediocrity!
"List."
"To be honest, my talent for arcane arts is limited. If I had more talent, perhaps I could have succeeded Master Hamir as the head steward of Kamar-Taj."
"This can be considered a prominent figure, second only to the emperor."
"Feel sorry."
"I almost forgot, you are truly below the Ancient One and above the Grandmaster."
Master Murphyson spoke candidly.
He made no attempt to hide anything, revealing his true thoughts to Chen Ji, even exposing his fragile self-esteem.
Chen Ji knew perfectly well what was going on.
There was no mockery, no ridicule.
Instead, he nodded silently.
"More secret techniques to succeed Master Hamir?"
"Master Murphyson."
I need to correct you on one point.
"I am not below the Ancient One, but above the Grandmaster."
"I can't accept that title."
Chen Ji smiled.
At this time.
He's already come up with a name for the Pink Entry!
Furthermore, it can absolutely suppress the mutations brought about by [Iron Skin, Steel Bones]!
[The Pink Entry has been generated. Please name the entry; the name will determine its effect.]
Moment!
The abstract and distorted Rune took on a fixed form and emitted a burst of dazzling light.
Chen Ji officially named the entry "[Flesh Fusion]"!
This entry from Advanced Stitch Monster has an amazing and extraordinary effect!
Furthermore, the Pink Entry he created will not bring any negative impact!
He had already verified it!
The entry "[Flesh Fusion]" has been successfully named.
[Flesh Fusion] (Pink): He can grasp some of the deceased's abilities by touching the remains of corpses, maximizing the enhancement of his own talents.
"Ness!"
Chen Ji's face lit up with joy.
Then he asked Murphyson if he could get the other party's consent to make the deal!
"Master Murphyson."
"With this Rune mark, your mutation can be suppressed, and touching the remains of corpses can also enhance your various talents."
Are you willing to pay a certain fee to complete this transaction?
Chen Ji's gaze was firm and unwavering, revealing no deception.
Master Murphyson.
He was also the most trusted Mystic Arts Master he ever met when he came to Kamar-Taj, without exception!
"A certain reward?"
"Of course I'd love to."
"As long as it doesn't kill me, it's fine."
Master Murphyson chuckled.
However, he was also secretly wondering, could a mere Rune mark really enhance his talent?
Is it really that incredible?
Why is there no record of this in the Book of Arcane Arts of Kamar-Taj?
A flurry of random thoughts flashed through my mind.
Swish!
With a wave of Chen Ji's hand, the Rune mark transformed into a stream of light and entered Master Murphyson's body.
Moment!
Master Murphyson's entire body glowed faintly, and the transformation brought about by his [Iron Skin, Steel Bones] immediately underwent a corresponding and Ultimate Ascension, eliminating any remaining hidden dangers.
Even Master Murphyson's Entry Panel showed subtle changes.
This made Chen Ji very gratified.
You can't cheat Murphyson!
He's an honest man!
[Congratulations, host, on successfully selling the entry [Flesh Fusion] (Pink)]
[Luck Value +1000]
The smile on Chen Ji's face vanished in an instant.
At this moment, the Luck Value he had accumulated had once again reached an astonishing number!
[Name]: Chen Ji
[Identity]: Acting Sorcerer Supreme
[Talent]: Super Genius (Purple), Even Match (Purple), Born Knowing (Purple), Lucky Emperor Physique (Purple), Life Winner (Purple), X-Factor (Purple), One Mind, Many Uses (Purple), Time Traveler (Pink), Half a Move Ahead of Heaven (Black), Covetous Burden (Black).
[Luck Value]: 2655.9
It brought about a major turning point in the fate of the Nine Realms, increasing their Luck Value by 500 points.
Selling the Pink Entry [Flesh Fusion] increased my Luck Value by 1000 points.
Certainly.
To generate Pink Entry, you must consume 100 points of Luck Value.
In conclusion
A huge profit!
It's worth it!
However, it still needs about 7,000 Luck Value to upgrade to Purple Entry.
Simply...
How about trying your luck in the lottery?
Anyway, he's now Lucky Emperor Physique and is Life Winner!
Everything will develop as expected.
It is commonly said that sincerity brings results!
What abilities does he still lack?
Chen Ji frowned.
Soon, a terrible memory surfaced in Chen Ji's mind: when he encountered the Weird Plague Rat, he was accidentally poisoned and [Plague-Stricken]!
If it weren't for the stroke of luck in finding the Poisonous Living Grass, I probably would have died long ago!
It seems that diseases, plagues, viruses... must be guarded against!
Chen Ji's gaze was cold.
Because Master Murphyson was present, he did not immediately summon the Talent Draw Wheel. Instead, he decided to return the books he had finished reading and borrow another batch of Book of Arcane Arts!
[Name]: Murphyson
[Occupation]: Librarian
[Entry]: Unhurried and Methodical and methodical (white), Erudite Memory (green), Masterful Craft (green), Array Mastery (white), with Iron Skin, Steel Bones (pink), Flesh Fusion (pink).
Master Murphyson's Entry Panel has become incredibly gorgeous!
Chen Ji was honored.
He has now confirmed his secret identity as a 'keyword supplier'!
But how exactly should he spread the word and get customers to willingly come to him?
1000 points of Luck Value are only equivalent to 1000 days of life. He reversed Master Murphyson's death calamity, so it's not unreasonable to ask for some interest, right?
Chen Ji's eyes flickered, and he slowly spoke.
"Cough cough."
"Master Murphyson."
"If you have a trusted friend who also wants to improve their arcane talent, remember to tell them to contact me."
"But don't mention my name. This kind of thing can't be done in the light, and it will attract the attention of illegal forces, so it should be done in secret."
Chen Ji's eyes flashed. Since Master Murphyson had received so many benefits, he was practically a living advertisement!
Making the most of resources is the key!
"Rest assured."
"I know the rules of this industry."
"List."
"I'll give you a card. Go to the Golden Dagger Club in Macau, and the owner, Xialing, will help you."
Master Murphyson pondered for a moment, then handed over a card.
It has the logo of the Golden Dagger Club on it.
Furthermore, his name was written on the back of the card, which meant that he was already a member of the Golden Dagger Club.
"The Golden Dagger Club...?"
Chen Ji was slightly taken aback.
Isn't this the Mandarin's daughter's territory?
Old Wang and Abomination even threw a fixed match at the Golden Dagger Club!
How come Murphyson is also a member?
"It's a long story."
You're right to trust me.
"However, remember to maintain a secret identity; using the title of Acting Sorcerer Supreme will cause you considerable trouble."
Master Murphyson repeatedly emphasized this point.
After all, there are quite a few people who hate Kamar-Taj, and there are also leaders of various evil sects who are plotting to overthrow Kamar-Taj and destroy the Three Sanctums.
This allows the Demon Lord they worship to move freely as if no one were there!
"I understand."
Chen Ji nodded and thanked Master Murphyson for his kindness.
He then returned some of the Book of Arcane Arts and returned to the forbidden book area.
This is the private collection of books belonging to the Ancient One.
It involves various forbidden spells, mysterious rituals, and dangerous magic—something that is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people!
"Acting Sorcerer Supreme"
"Now you are entitled to borrow forbidden books."
Master Murphyson joked.
"You should just call me Chen."
"I really don't want to be the Sorcerer Supreme!"
Chen Ji looked distressed.
Immediately, his eyes fell on the forbidden book closest to him.
The Book of Cagliostro!
