NOVEL WEB Chapter 994: Item Extractions
As Vale passed through the various stalls in the Wyrmgate Bazaar, he eventually came across a secluded area behind a trio of translucent barriers. It was protecting a mid-size building.
The barriers covering it weren't meant to defend or stop any enemies but to ensure that the area would be kept from noise, detection, or any sort of investigative spells to pass through it.
Lastly, it also ensures that no energy will leak out of it.
Vale then saw the name of the place…
"Sanctum of Blended Essence – Private Alchemy Chambers for Rent."
Several cloaked individuals walked in and out of the area… Most of them were only at the level of First or Second Class Arcanists who were carrying cauldrons. The others were dragging wagons filled with ingredients, and a few escorted by constructs or familiars. Clearly, this was a place for serious work.
Vale stepped inside.
"Ahh…"
There was a thick scent of burning herbs, mana vapor, distilled spirit essence, and various alchemical ingredients…
'Interesting…' Vale muttered after entering the area.
There was a golem receptionist with six arms who greeted him politely.
"Private chambers available. Cost is two Divine Crystals for six hours. Soundproof, scry-proof, and warded against explosions and ethereal contamination. Surveillance prohibited by contract."
Vale simply nodded and placed two Divine Crystals on the tray extended by one of the golem's hands.
"Chamber B-7. Proceed."
He was guided to a circular room lit with bright crystal lights, perfect for alchemy...
Just from entering, he could already tell that the walls were filled with Formation Circles protecting the place. There were no windows or other doors connecting to another room.
Still, Vale didn't take chances.
As soon as the golem departed and the chamber sealed behind him, he waved his hand and summoned his own Divine Concealment Formation, layering it atop the existing protections.
This Formation Arts wasn't something he extracted, but it was something that he learned with Constance's assistance.
Well, that Spirit Immortal was quite crazy when it comes to Formation Circles after all.
Anyway, after confirming that the formation was properly arranged, it was only then did he finally breathed out in relief.
"Now…"
With a flick of his fingers, his Storage Ring flashed—and before him formed a small mountain of recently purchased items: jars, coins, feathers, vials, bone fragments, mystical flora, and many others.
He sat cross-legged before them and selected the first item. The Draconic Seal Coin
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Begin."
[ Extraction Successful. Dragon Energy +110 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Dragon Energy +110 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Essence Crystal ( Lesser-Draconic ) x1 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +300, Scale Sheen Residue +1 ]
Vale raised a brow. "Not bad. Might be worth buying in bulk."
Getting 220 Dragon Energy wasn't something he would easily pass up. It was actually a lot more than what he had expected.
However, he also realized why no one was trying to extract it using other methods. Just now, he confirmed that if not for his Divine Extraction System, the Dragon Energy would've actually vanished without any traces.
For now, he placed the newly formed Essence Crystal and Residue in a separate pouch, then reached for the next items, the vials containing various essences.
The first one was the one containing Fiend Essence.
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Yes."
[ Extraction Successful. Fiend Essence +30 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Fiend Essence +30 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +700 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Energy +20 ]
The amount of essence wasn't as high as he thought but considering that he also extracted energy from it, it shouldn't be that bad.
'But Cursed Energy? This is a new one.' Vale muttered to himself.
Anyway, he'd probably find out more about it if he continued his study of this realm.
Then, he turned to the vial with Imp Essence.
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Continue."
[ Extraction Successful. Fiend Essence +75 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +300 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Energy +50 ]
"Not great," he muttered. "But I guess I'll be getting more and more Cursed Energy, huh…"
After this, Vale turned to the gleaming set of Ashen Feathers of the Lost Sky—24 in total.
His fingers hovered over the first feather.
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"All right, let's see what you are."
[ Extraction Successful. Divinity +200 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Divinity +10 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Feather of Radiant Ash x1 ]
"Ahh… That's a lot!"
He raised a brow as the metal-like feather became a normal feather in front of him. It was really a good thing to extract items without being seen by anyone.
However, after the Cursed Energy, he now obtained a Cursed Divinity!
Needless to say, Vale continued on his task… He wanted to see if he'd get the same amount for each feather!
As expected, the second feather gave the same extraction result.
[ Extraction Successful. Divinity +200 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Divinity +10 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Feather of Radiant Ash x1 ]
"Divinity and Cursed Divinity, huh… How is it different from Corrupted Divinity?" Vale mused…
It was unfortunate that he couldn't ask anyone.
Anyway, he decided to check the Feather of Radiant Ash…
As he took it out of his inventory, he realized that it was a black feather that seemed to have separated from the extracted feather.
"Can I use this as a weapon or maybe an alchemy ingredient?" Vale muttered as he wasn't too sure.
Nonetheless, he decided to continue with the extraction… In just a few moments, he extracted all the 24 feathers that he bought for only 250 Divine Crystals…
Considering how he obtained 4,800 Divinity Points from the 24 Feathers, it was definitely worth the price…
'I hope I can find more items that give this much Divinity.' Vale mused as he couldn't help but feel excited about the rest of the items he bought, especially the Black Heart that he got for 20 Mid-Grade Divine Crystals from a Corrupted Celestial, according to the merchant.
