Chapter 4013: Chapter 4032: Dangerous Planet

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, there really is!

The Cultivation Potion available on the marketplace, when consumed after cultivation, actually has a certain probability of breaking through the bottleneck and getting promoted to a Level 8 Martial Artist, but this probability is very low.

With so many warriors in the Federation, the number of Seventh Level Warriors is quite large. If the probability was high, Level 8 might have already become commonplace.

Lin Chen nodded, not interrupting, just listening attentively.

Zhang Zhongjiu paused, seemingly contemplating his words. After a while, he finally spoke: "I don’t know the formula, it’s the family’s core secrets, managed by the family’s senior management, so I also don’t know exactly how this potion is made."

"Although I don’t know the formula, I do know the most essential materials for the formula. As long as we have these materials, the family can produce the potion."

Lin Chen frowned and said, "I can find a way to get the materials. Once I have gathered the materials, would your family agree to help me convert them into a potion?"

Zhang Zhongjiu calmly replied, "As long as there’s profit to be had, a discussion is possible."

Lin Chen asked, "You mean if I gather enough materials, your family might take a portion of the materials as a fee and then produce the potion for me?"

Zhang Zhongjiu nodded, "Yes, family rules say if you want the potion yourself, you need to find the materials yourself. Once you find the materials, the family and your share are half each."

"I almost died looking for the materials back then, finally managed to find two sets, got one potion, and luckily succeeded in promotion."

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "Your family takes half, and you also want a share, so how many materials do I need to gather to get a potion?"

Zhang Zhongjiu answered, "At least four sets of materials, then I can bring out two potions, you get one, and I get one. Of course, if there are six sets of materials, I could bring out three potions, and I’d still only take one."

Lin Chen nodded and asked, "With your strength so formidable, it should be fairly easy to collect materials, right?"

Zhang Zhongjiu shook his head, "I’m definitely more relaxed now than I was before, but since you’ve asked me, naturally I’ll save some effort, after all, even with my current strength, there is still danger." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Lin Chen thought for a moment, even though it sounds a bit like a losing proposition, whose formula is it in their hands?

If you want to go down their family’s potion road, you have to be taken advantage of, it’s like a patent fee; if you want to use their technique, you have to pay the price.

"The potion can’t guarantee 100% promotion. With this premise, how do I confirm that after giving the materials to your family, the potion your family gives me is genuine, as I can’t verify its authenticity..."

A true potion may not ensure promotion, a fake potion certainly can’t. If you haven’t been promoted, how do you know whether you’ve taken the true or the fake?

Zhang Zhongjiu calmly responded, "You can only hand the materials over to me. If you try to talk to my family, they might not agree or might ask for more. As for authenticity, I will keep an eye on it myself; I am the guarantee."

Lin Chen nodded affirmatively, "With your promise, I am relieved. Now you can tell me what the materials are."

Zhang Zhongjiu replied, "In the Heavenly Gate Star System, there’s a planet with severe radiation, not suitable for human survival, but it has various foreign beasts. The Federation refers to all non-human life forms as foreign beasts, for instance, the Demonic Beasts in your place are also considered foreign beasts."

"The materials I mentioned come from one of the foreign beasts on this planet, called the Star-devouring Dragon Beast. Their name comes from their preference for eating a mineral on the planet called Star Ore, and their appearance is somewhat dragon-like."

"The Star-devouring Dragon Beasts are divided into male and female, and we need the pheromones released by the female Star-devouring Dragon Beast during the mating season. As long as you manage to kill her during this period and extract the pheromones from the organ at the top of her head, you can obtain them."

"Fifty milliliters of pheromones make up one set, and a single Star-devouring Dragon Beast can typically yield two sets. In other words, to get a potion, you need to hunt down at least two Star-devouring Dragon Beasts."

Lin Chen nodded, showing his understanding: "So where is the hardest part of the whole thing, are these Star-devouring Dragon Beasts very formidable?"

"Yes."

Zhang Zhongjiu replied, "Star-devouring Dragon Beasts are social creatures, usually living together in groups. Due to consuming Star Ore and the intense radiation, their bodies have undergone serious mutations, becoming incredibly hard and resistant to sword injuries. They may not be able to release terrifying energy to destroy planets like us, but their individual combat power is exceedingly strong."

"With our strength, if they hit us, we would either die or suffer severe injury. Judging by their attack power, adult Star-devouring Dragon Beasts have at least the strength of a Level 8 Martial Artist."

Lin Chen opened his eyes wide and inhaled sharply.

"Equivalent to Level 8 Martial Artist strength, and they are social creatures too?"

Zhang Zhongjiu nodded, "Yes, Star-devouring Dragon Beasts have particularly strong perception, attempting a sneak attack is nearly impossible."

"Around this planet, there’s another type of foreign beast with extremely fast flying abilities, capable of devouring energy. If you approach in a Flying Ship, it could potentially drain all the energy, turning the Flying Ship into space junk."

"I’ve only mentioned two types; overall, this planet is very Dangerous. The Federation once conducted surveys on it, lost quite a bit, and finally, decided to give up because the specialties there benefit these foreign beasts but are of little use to Humans."

Just hearing about it, Lin Chen already felt the danger, couldn’t help but ask, "How did you settle it back then?"

Zhang Zhongjiu answered, "The family has some records, which include relatively safe navigation routes. I went alone on a flying ship, sneaked in quietly, and survived there for a long time, finally finding an opportunity to attack when two Star-devouring Dragon Beasts fell solitary during mating."

"I prepared some techniques, although I managed to kill them, I also suffered backlash, nearly died, later encountered foreign beast hunting and killing, faced death many times, and narrowly escaped."

Zhang Zhongjiu looked at Lin Chen, "Your strength at present is not inferior to what I had, more importantly, you possess several Immortal Dao Techniques and can perform Star Sky Jump; if you go, the chance of success would be better. Even if you fail, you should be able to escape safely, after all, no matter how formidable these foreign beasts are, they can’t Seal space."

Lin Chen nodded, "Can you send me the information about this planet?"

Zhang Zhongjiu nodded, "Can, just destroy it after reading."

Lin Chen nodded, then asked, "You need a potion for yourself, you only show Seventh Level, is it a realm drop or a strength Seal, ready for recovery at any time?"
