Therefore, all the materials needed for advancement can definitely be exchanged in the Psychology Alchemists. Even if some items are rare, there's no need to buy information from outside.

So either this person isn't a member of the Psychology Alchemists at all, or they obtained the Potion Formula through other means but don't want the Psychology Alchemists to know about it.

But it has nothing to do with Kronos; he has neither Adult Mind Dragon nor any intelligence.

Everyone present was in a similar state to Kronos; no one revealed any Message.

This person is probably used to it by now; they've likely tried inquiring through various channels without any results.

Seeing that the man was about to sit down, Kronos said, "If you want to find the Mind Dragon, you'd better go to the Southern Continent, where there are more Paranormal Creature. The Northern Continent has fewer."

The man glanced at Kronos, then nodded and sat down.

I don't know if he listened or not, but Kronos felt that he had done enough by saying that one thing.

Then everyone took turns coming forward to state what they wanted to buy or sell.

Some decent Beyonder Weapons and Charm appeared, but they still lacked appeal for Kronos.

Finally, a Sequence 5 Beyonder appeared and sold a whole box of Potions —restorative, Tranquilization, Purification, and all sorts of others.

No one expected that someone would show up here with a box of Potions.

Kronos was extremely interested in these Potions.

Fortunately, the quantity was large enough that after satisfying the needs of the others, Kronos simply carried the boxes away.

During the transaction, Kronos sensed that this person's attitude towards him was somewhat subtle and strange, as if he knew him.

This person is Sequence 5 and sold so many Potions, so it can basically be determined that they are Moon Pathway. Sequence 5 is the Scarlet Scholar.

Kronos was quite certain he didn't know such a person; perhaps if the Mask on his face were removed, he might have some recollection of him.

But Kronos didn't know that even if the Mask were removed, he wouldn't be able to recognize him.

This man was Ernes Boyar, the one who once guarded Kronos on the orders of Duke of the Full Moon Olmer of the Full Moon.

However, after protecting him for a while, they felt that Kronos's life was too boring. He basically just stayed at home and didn't have any dangerous activities, so they stopped using such a high-ranking Sanguine to protect him.

The one following behind Kronos now is just an ordinary Sequence 7 Vampire, relying on his Wings to follow him, with many people taking turns.

If Kronos were truly in danger, they could notify the Sanguine Executives of Backlund through various means, and the Demigod- level Shaman King could arrive as quickly as possible.

Kronos is now Sequence 6, so even if he encounters several Sequence 5, he can delay them until the Demigod arrive. However, if Demigod intervenes, even the help of Sequence 5 won't help.

It's impractical to have a Demigod personally protect Kronos, so the current arrangement is the most reasonable.

After receiving this instruction, Ernes left Kronos's side.

He came here simply to attend this Fence Association, but he never expected to run into Kronos.

Of course he could recognize Kronos; this face was designed specifically for the Carlson Kronos, Klein was not chosen randomly.

As a Scarlet Scholar had followed Kronos for quite some time, it was impossible for him not to remember this face.

Even if this face is based on Original, and he just happened to encounter that Original, he still doesn't believe that person was that rich.

That's why he acted strangely when he first received the money from Kronos.

He didn't know why the Sanguine Executives would issue an order to protect Kronos, but he knew that if the Sanguine Executives had given this order, it meant that this person was very important.

It's good to establish a connection beforehand, just in case you need that connection someday.

Then someone stood up and said to everyone, "I would like to purchase the Sequence 5 Potion Formula from the Lawyer Pathway."

The shed fell Rian, which meant that no one had the necessary resources. Just as this person was feeling disappointed, Kronos spoke up.

What can I get in return?

This request is exactly what Kronos wanted. Forget Sequence 5, as long as the trade is attractive enough, he can even give you the Apotheosis Ritual.

Looking at Kronos, the man fell silent. It was generally accepted that this newcomer was very wealthy, so money was unlikely to sway him.

However, it's a bit of a waste to exchange Beyonder Item for a recipe.

Kronos understood this principle as well. Although a Sequence 5 Potion Formula was not cheap, it was still not as valuable as a Sequence 5 Beyonder Item.

Let alone Sequence 5, even a Pathway Sequence 6 Beyonder Item is more valuable than Sequence 5 recipe.

But Kronos doesn't even bother with those Beyonder Item that are lower in Sequence.

So Kronos spoke directly, "I want a better Beyonder Characteristic. I can compensate for the price difference with other things, whether it's Pound Sterling or Beyonder Item, I can still afford them."

The man remained silent and did not respond to Kronos.

But actually, this is a good thing. His silence indicates that he is considering it, and it also shows that he has something that meets Kronos's requirements, but he just needs to weigh it carefully.

In this situation, all Kronos needs to do is add the chips and wait for his response.

"If you're willing, I can trade you the Mentor of Disorder's Potion Formula plus a Sequence 6 Beyonder Item. If there's still a difference in value, we can make up the difference with Pound Sterling. What do you say?"

Seeing that the man still didn't react, Kronos continued calmly, "I still have Demigod's Potion Formula. You can come and exchange it with me later. Sequence 5 aren't easy to find, let alone Demigod. Consider this a way of establishing a good relationship with me in advance, what do you think?"

Although Kronos did indeed have the formula, such words were actually of little significance; everyone present knew this perfectly well. However, saying it at this moment was merely a tactic to persuade the person.

After a long silence, the man looked up and said, "Alright, it's settled then. Sequence 5 Potion Formula, a Sequence 6 Beyonder Item, and two thousand Pound Sterling. Is that acceptable to you?"

Kronos smiled slightly, "As long as your Beyonder Item suit my taste, of course, no problem."

The man pointed to the side and then asked, "How about I get it over there for you to see?"

Kronos nodded, then walked directly to the side.

After the two approached, the man asked, "Can we exchange Beyonder Item for inspection?"

Kronos thought for a moment, then agreed.

He wasn't thinking about whether he could exchange Beyonder Item; he was thinking about what Beyonder Item he could offer.

In fact, all of his Sequence 6 Beyonder Item could be exchanged, since none of them were unique and there were substitutes available in the Storeroom.

However, Kronos believed he was about to face a crisis, so he had to ensure his fighting strength remained intact. Therefore, what Beyonder Item to offer was a matter of careful consideration.

After careful consideration, Kronos ultimately decided to trade away the Hat of Order. It wasn't because the Hat of Order was weak; the main reason was that he already possessed Skill Scroll that could achieve the same ability, as well as Amyrius's Ninth Law Charm, so the abilities were indeed somewhat redundant.

He took the Hat of Order out of the Mystic Pouch and handed it to the person, who in turn offered him a pair of boots.

Neither of them were clearly Beyonder on the Paragon Pathway, so they couldn't appraise Beyonder Item on their own and had to rely on each other's assessments.

After Kronos finished explaining the abilities and negative effects of the Hat of Order, he clearly saw joy on the man's face.

Kronos guessed, "This Beyonder Item is nothing special, but it has a significant enhancing effect on your Beyonder Ability, right?"

The Hat of Order corresponds to the Judge, whose abilities are the most Judge. The person in front of me wants to Disciplinary Paladin's Potion Formula, so he is also a Judge. The combination of the two will naturally produce the best effect.

This person hadn't expected Kronos to guess it so easily, so he could only nod. "That's right, it enhances my abilities, and the negative effects are very minor, making it very suitable for me."

Kronos has finished his narration, so naturally, it is now the man's turn to introduce his Beyonder Item.

"These boots of mine are called Earth War Boots. They are not Beyonder Item, but rather a self-formed Sealed Artifact."

No wonder he just emphasized the negative effects; basically, all self-created Sealed Artifact have significant negative effects.

"It corresponds to Sequence 5 of the Planter — the Druid, possessing power derived from the earth."

"When wearing it and standing on the ground, one can absorb nutrients and oxygen from the earth, possessing near-limitless stamina, and can also use Earth Spells to control the earth for attacks."

"Furthermore, it possesses the ability to Underground Travel, instantly softening the ground beneath its feet and turning it into a 'swamp,' causing the user's body to sink rapidly as if plunging into the sea."

"These are all very good abilities, but because it is a Sealed Artifact, it also has strong negative effects."

"After each use, the user will enter Giant Bear State, meaning their body will transform into a terrifying giant bear, twice the height of two people."
