Devil’s Son-in-Law

h , Jesse had been quiet.
Until Chen Rui gave him the 300 black crystal coins, he asked, “Did you really want a whetstone the other day or were you just pitying me?”

Chen Rui couldn’t bother to explain much and asked, “Did you lose your courage to be the whetstone now?”

That sentence provoked the dark elf and his eyes also became sharper, “At this time of the next month, I will challenge you!”

“Good! Before that, you stay at Cloak Gang.” Chen Rui nodded.
To deal with this kind of person, he had to provoke him; he could also get a fighter as the second master and the like for the Cloak Gang.

“Don’t be complacent for killing Grau by sneak attack.
Balrog, Reka is regarded as the king of Intermediate Demons.
A weak character like Grau is incomparable.
The effect of your ultimate move might do only a little to him.
Reka’s offense and defense capabilities and his abilities were close to horrifying.
If you rely on speed, you will not be able to beat him.
If you fight him head-on, you’ll probably be killed within a few minutes with your current strength.”

Is this guy reminding me? Chen Rui looked at the dark elf with a strange look and smiled, “Maybe you are right, but that is just my current strength.”

The dark elf replied with a cold ‘Hmph’.

Chen Rui didn’t spend too much time at Cloak Gang.
He left the specific affairs to Jesse and the old dwarf, and he returned to the palace’s lab.
Although the Cloak Gang replaced Silva, it was impossible to actually be involved in demon-trafficking.
The women and children who were caught were sent back, and the homeless individuals stayed at Cloak Gang.

Silva’s foundation was very thick; it had its manpower and territory.
With Chen Rui’s ability, he could definitely make good use of these conditions to do some legal business or develop in other ways.
However, that wasn’t his current priority as everything had to wait after the 2-month test.

The harvest from the ancient house was considerable; in contrast, the injuries suffered were negligible.
The pile of fluorescent stones alone provided more than 30,000 auras.
Together with the rest of the available magic materials in the warehouse and the original 9,000 auras, the total had exceeded 70,000 auras.
He didn’t specifically count those black crystal coins; he simply gave the old dwarf two bags as the funds of Cloak Gang.

There were less than 20 days left.
If Chen Rui were to compete with a high-stage with his current middle-stage strength, he would definitely lose.
Jesse said that Grau’s strength was incomparable to Reka, the king of Intermediate Demons in the arena.
It was just like today’s battle where he could easily knock down the fighters of the same stage.
What’s more that could only be used twice a day.
For each shot, more than half of Star Power would be gone.
If he didn’t look for the right timing, it would be counterproductive, so he must fully utilize the time rule of the training ground.

During the gap of rest and recovery, Chen Rui finally couldn’t hold his curiosity and selected the construction of “exchange center” among the building at the throne.
Now that he had 70,000 auras along with the estimated more than 100,000 black crystal coins in total, using 1000 auras to activate the exchange center seemed relatively insignificant.

Unlike the architecture of the training ground and storage warehouse, the exchange center looked mysterious and gorgeous.
After entering the exchange center, the light screen displayed: Star Collector, exchange capped at 1 Star.
There were several major categories; Except for the potion category, the rest were gray.
It seemed that 1 star could only exchange for potions.

The first page was just Sober Potion, Healing Potion, Antidote Potion, Stamina Recovery Dust, Spirit Recovery Dust and other common goods that a usual potioneer could brew.
The following were the white potions that could only be brewed by master level, such as Strength Potion, Wind Walk Potion, Iron Wall Potion, Spirit Potion etc, as well as the high difficulty Stamina Recovery Potion, Spirit Recovery Potion, Single Elemental-enhancing Potion, etc.

After the page was turned, there were 10 potions on the second page.
All of which were black potions.
The name made Chen Rui really surprised:

True.
Strength Potion! True.
Wind Walk Potion! True.
Spirit Potion! True.
Iron Wall Potion! True.
Earth-Enhancing Potion! True.
Water-Enhancing Potion! True.
Fire-Enhancing Potion! True.
Wind-Enhancing Potion! True.
Dark-Enhancing Potion! True.
Light-Enhancing Potion!

If white potions were a symbol of potion master, then the black potions represented an almost insurmountable gap – the potion grand master!

Demon Realm hadn’t had any grand master for thousands of years.
If any 1 of the 10 black potions was taken out, not only the pharmaceutics field, but also the alchemy field and the entire Demon Realm would be shocked.

Compared to the white potions, the “True” potions had the word “True” added literally.
Both were used to enhance strength, but their effectiveness was poles apart.
For example, Strength Potion could increase strength by 30% and last for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, one would enter a weakened state which was the so-called side effects.
After ingesting 1 bottle, it required 2 hours before ingesting another bottle, otherwise it would be ineffective.

True.
Strength Potion was more effective and longer-lasting.
It could increase strength by 60%, and it would last for 20 minutes.
After the effective period, there wouldn’t be any side effects, and the cooldown was shortened to an hour.

The “True” potions were merely the introductory potions as a grand master.
As it went further, there were also the “Eternal” potions that permanently increased various abilities.
In addition, there were also the potions that resembled a potioneer’s highest achievement, Longevity Potion, and Resurrection Potion!

Coincidentally, these potions alone would be able to let Chen Rui back up his identity as a grand master’s successor.
Besides, it was just an item available for exchange within 1-Star.
