"Excellent." Shi Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the displayed data.

Sage's Stone (36% Complete)

Epic Special Item (Guaranteed Drop on Death)

An alchemic relic capable of turning stone into gold and resurrecting the dead, among other incredible uses. However, it was destroyed by the Sword Emperor, Shuneite, and shattered into five pieces. But the Sage's Stone possesses great power, and it will regain its full power once all five pieces are collected.

Usage Effect: Due to being damaged, it currently possesses less than one-seventh of its original power and can only perform alchemic transmutations, elemental refining, alchemic synthesis, and elemental strengthening.

Now that I have alchemic synthesis, obtaining magic crystals shouldn't be a problem.

Just as Shi Feng was about to begin alchemic synthesis, system notifications rang out, three times in a row.

Star-Moon Kingdom Regional System Announcement: Congratulations to Yi Xiao Qing Cheng for being the first team to clear the Bone Ruins (Difficulty: Hard). Guild receives 10,000 honor points and 10,000 fame points. All players within the team receive 10 Star-Moon Kingdom reputation points and 100 Maple Leaf City reputation points.

…

"No way, the Bone Ruins is a fifty-man team dungeon. Did a guild team actually clear it already?" Shi Feng thought he had misheard. He opened the system information and confirmed that they had indeed cleared the Bone Ruins.

"Yi Xiao Qing Cheng, isn't that a second-rate guild secretly controlled by Underworld, dominating Maple Leaf City?" Shi Feng took another careful look at the team name and couldn't help but be surprised. "How could they be the first to clear it?"

The entire Star-Moon Kingdom has hundreds of cities and countless guild experts, including many first-rate guilds. Shi Feng was certain that the team most likely to take the first clear of the fifty-man team dungeon was the team led by Bai Qingsue of White River City.

Because Shi Feng had created a White River City guide after entering White River City, and Bai Qingsue had spent a lot of money to buy the most detailed White River City guide, she had gained a huge advantage from the start. In order to ensure the first clear of the three major dungeons, Bai Qingsue had also transferred many experts from the Devouring Serpent and purchased the Fine-Gold ranked Arcane Shield and a large number of Basic Mana Armor Kits from him. In terms of personnel and equipment, even the main force team of a top-tier first-rate guild in Star-Moon City couldn't compare.

But such a team was actually beaten by a second-rate guild, Yi Xiao Qing Cheng. Although Yi Xiao Qing Cheng was secretly controlled by Underworld, which definitely funded them with a lot of money and experts, could the first clear of a fifty-man team dungeon be easily obtained with some money and a group of experts?

If so, Bai Qingsue would have already taken the first clear of the Resting Ground, why would she wait for Underworld-controlled Yi Xiao Qing Cheng?

Moreover, in Shi Feng's memory, the guild Yi Xiao Qing Cheng had always been very ordinary, and was eventually defeated by the Assassin's Alliance and disappeared in the torrent of God's Domain.

"What secrets is this Yi Xiao Qing Cheng hiding?" In the information Shi Feng obtained from Jue Tian, Yi Xiao Qing Cheng was nothing special. Even with Underworld's full support and sending fifty Underworld Guards to clear it, he didn't believe that Yi Xiao Qing Cheng could take the first clear of the fifty-man team dungeon.

But Yi Xiao Qing Cheng did it, which was enough to show that this team had something special, even better than the team led by Bai Qingsue.

If such an Yi Xiao Qing Cheng developed casually in an environment without competing guilds, and with the secret help of Underworld, Shi Feng couldn't estimate how strong Yi Xiao Qing Cheng would become in the future.

As soon as these three system announcements came out, the entire Star-Moon Kingdom was in an uproar. Previously, everyone was guessing which first-rate guild would get the first clear of the fifty-man team dungeon, but the result greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

What many first-rate guilds couldn't accomplish, a second-rate guild did it first…

For a time, Yi Xiao Qing Cheng became the focus of attention for all players in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom.

"I must speed up too."

Shi Feng took the Sage's Stone and began alchemic synthesis.

No matter how strong the enemy is, one's own strength is the most important.

Shi Feng put magic crystals into the Sage's Stone one by one, and the synthesis bar slowly increased, growing from 1% until Shi Feng put in 50 crystals, and the synthesis bar reached 100%.

Although it can be synthesized, the Sage's Stone is not in a complete state, and the alchemic synthesis rate is only 50%.

"Truly worthy of being an alchemic relic." Shi Feng couldn't help but sigh.

If other alchemists saw this synthesis rate and the number of items required, they would definitely be too excited to speak.

Even an alchemist master only has a synthesis rate of about 20%, which is already quite high. The required synthesis items are generally above 200, so no one is willing to use alchemic synthesis to make high-level materials. But compared to the Sage's Stone, alchemist masters are nothing but small potatoes, worthy of the name of alchemic relic.

Alchemic synthesis is only a small part of the Sage's Stone's abilities, so it's no wonder the Sage's Stone would cause kingdoms and empires to compete and wage war.

"Let's start synthesizing." Shi Feng clicked the synthesis button.

Three seconds later, Shi Feng had a gray stone the size of a fist in his hand, which was the magic crystal.

"Good!"

Seeing the successful synthesis of the magic crystal, Shi Feng then continued to put in magic crystals for alchemic synthesis.

On the other hand, Shi Feng immediately contacted Melancholic Smile and asked her to acquire magic crystals as soon as possible. The magic crystals of Zero Wing Guild alone were not enough to synthesize 21 magic crystals.

Even if the synthesis rate is 100%, 21 magic crystals require 1050 magic crystals. With a 50% synthesis rate, at least 2100 magic crystals are needed.

Shi Feng had already used a lot of magic crystals before, and there were 508 magic crystals left.

Conservatively, at least 2000 magic crystals are needed. After all, the synthesis rate is only 50%, and it's uncertain how much more or less is needed. To be safe, it's natural to prepare more.

"Guild Leader, are you kidding me? Acquiring 2000 magic crystals is not a small amount. The price of a magic crystal on the market is 8 silver coins. 1600 is 160 gold. This is the best estimate. A large purchase will definitely cause the price of magic crystals in White River City to skyrocket. Then, it will cost two or three times the price to buy them. A rough estimate is more than 300 gold." Although Melancholic Smile usually handles the procurement affairs of the Sky Alliance, it was her first time handling a large transaction of more than 300 gold, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

300 gold can be exchanged for more than 4 million credit points. She hasn't spent so much money in her life.

Moreover, it's easy to exchange 300 gold for credit points, but it's difficult to use credit points to buy 300 gold.

"This matter doesn't matter, you must do it as soon as possible." Shi Feng couldn't care less at this time. The class transfer quest takes priority. Even if it costs thousands of gold, he will buy them. When Melancholic Smile and the three of them produce a large number of Basic Strengthening Armor Kits, these gold coins can be earned back sooner or later.

More than an hour later, Melancholic Smile handed 2000 magic crystals to Shi Feng, experiencing the joy of being a tycoon.

During this time, Shi Feng was not idle either. He used another 500 magic crystals, synthesized 6 magic crystals, and made some Basic Mana Armor Kits to improve his forging proficiency and leave them as guild benefits.

"Hopefully, my luck won't be too bad."

After getting 2000 magic crystals, Shi Feng began alchemic synthesis again.

100…200…

Magic crystals were continuously consumed.

After using 1650 in one go, Shi Feng finally gathered 21 magic crystals.
