The lone candle flickered with a dim yellow light, causing the shadows on the walls of the living room to dance.

Klein found the most convenient spot to escape, looked around, and saw Old Man Wisdom Eye with his deep nasolabial folds, and the chubby-cheeked Pharmacist.

Hmm, after comparing again, although he wore an iron mask that covered the upper half of his face, I could still basically confirm that he was that loose-tongued man I ran into at the Rhys troupe's miniature theater... Klein withdrew his gaze and waited for the gathering to officially begin. The lady backed by the Artisan was tightly veiled, like most of the participants, so he couldn't confirm if she had arrived before she spoke.

After a few minutes, Old Man Wisdom Eye looked up at the mechanical clock on the wall and chuckled:

"We have a full house today."

"Let's begin."

Before he finished, the rotund Pharmacist had already jumped in:

"I need a Beyonder creature for my experiments. Preferably a beast type. Preferably one that's already subdued and not too dangerous."

A beast-type Beyonder creature? Klein was slightly intrigued.

He recalled the words the other had spoken in the circus miniature theater, and recalled that he seemed able to read the thoughts of beasts.

Just a Pharmacist, yet he possesses such an ability, and he's seeking to buy a beast-type Beyonder creature. Mm, after I sold him the Elf Spring's Medulla Crystal, he should have gathered all the materials and gotten his advancement... That is to say, the Sequence after Pharmacist is related to controlling beasts? Klein made a conjecture based on the information he knew.

At this moment, someone sneeringly replied to the Pharmacist:

"Who would keep a Beyonder creature by their side?"

"It's dangerous, and easily discovered. Isn't it more convenient and discreet to just kill it and preserve the mystical materials?"

The Pharmacist never lost an argument and immediately scoffed:

"A stupid idea!"

"You can't guarantee that the mystical materials on that Beyonder creature are exactly what you need or can be sold. Wouldn't it be better to tame it, drive it, make it your helper and double your strength..."

As he said this, his voice gradually shrank, feeling he had let slip some important secrets.

Dog shit! Why can't I just keep my mouth shut! The Pharmacist harshly slapped himself in his heart.

Indeed... Klein nodded almost imperceptibly.

The Pharmacist's needs were definitely not met. Most of the attendees here were of low Sequences and were not prominent figures in . They lived cautiously, barely scraping by. How could they be so extravagant as to raise a Beyonder creature?

Moreover, and more importantly, wild Beyonder creatures are often hostile to humans. When encountered, it's a life-or-death struggle. To capture one alive, you must have a sufficiently strong team or overwhelm it in strength. Of course, it can't be ruled out that certain Sequence holders have special abilities perfectly suited for this situation.

After a bout of disappointment, the Pharmacist coughed lightly and said:

"I brought quite a few potions. You all know their effects. If you want any, speak up when it's almost over."

Again the potions that heal injuries, induce rage, and enhance that kind of ability? Klein internally griped, then chuckled softly and offered the man a suggestion:

"You could buy a Sequence 9 formula, find the corresponding extraordinary materials, brew the potion, and feed it to the beast animal you have your eye on. That way, you'll have a Sequence 9 Beyonder creature. After that, you can keep making it advance through subsequent potions."

"Of course, the premise for all this is you have the financial means and can deal with the defective products that spiraled out of control."

The Pharmacist was stupefied for a few seconds before finally saying:

"What a luxury."

"Just saving up for myself and finding the extraordinary materials I need is already difficult enough. The chances of an animal losing control from ingesting a potion are high. Without doing it several times, success is hard to come by."

" who can do this must own a mine or have opened a bank."

Miss Justice of our must have raised a Beyonder creature... Klein suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the Pharmacist.

If he truly let loose and earned money without restraint, the Pharmacist was absolutely the type among the low Sequences who could amass a huge amount of wealth most easily. The problem, however, was that this also easily made him the target of official Beyonders.

After a few more trades either completed or fell through, Klein heard a deliberately lowered voice:

"I only brought one mystical weapon this time."

"It's a set of 50 bullets with different effects. 20 of them are engraved with symbols and emblems of the Sun domain, forming a complete charm. They can effectively purify ghost-type monsters and damage stronger vengeful spirits and shadowy apparitions. Thus, they are called 'Purification Bullets'. Another 20 target filthy and corrupt creatures and are called 'Demon Extermination Bullets'. The remaining 10 are more effective against strange and evil monsters, called ''. The effects stabilize for 18 months, or even longer."

"50 bullets for 500 pounds, or the 'Savage' potion formula, and I'll throw in a specially made revolver of suitable caliber."

So he did make bullets like I suggested last time, but it looks much more complicated than an ordinary mystical weapon. It took him this long just to make a set... Klein didn't leave an opening for others and directly spoke up:

"I have the 'Savage' potion formula."

At this moment, a rather tall man also made his offer:
