Cursed Immortality

The Potion Alchemy City of Alchemy Region was one of the largest cities of the alchemy region of unique plains. As the name suggests, this city was famous for its potion markets, and the city lord of this city was also the most famous potion alchemist of the Alchemy Guild, Advanced Great Elder Potion Alchemist Karim.

At this moment, within the teleportation hall of the potion alchemy city, Jacob's giant figure appeared within the teleportation circle where an old goblin in alchemy robes greeted him.

"Welcome to Potion Alchemy City, mister."

Jacob felt slightly lightheaded from the teleportation, but he quickly recovered and nodded, "Thank you. I want to know where I buy titan iron of unique rank?"

Jacob's purpose in entering the alchemy region was the Titan Iron so he could make Unique Titan Tears for Autarch to evolve into a unique rank. Autarch was special since it could make puppets out of higher-rank beings from its own rank.

Since he wasn't able to evolve his hex core, he naturally put his bets on Autarch. As long as he made it evolve and increased its prowess to the peak of unique rank, there was a very high chance of it countering the three steps of legend rank experts.

Although he also has Nyx, her limits were unique rank. He had already tried to infiltrate the Wrath Dead King's nightmare realm, but she failed. According to Nyx, if he could greatly injure Wrath Dead King, she would be able to infiltrate his nightmare realm.

But he didn't think the risk was worth it since it could've exposed his prowess or even identity. Furthermore, Nyx evaluation path was not clear, and all she knows is she needed to devour as many dreamscape realms as possible to evolve; the exact number or time was uncertain.

So, Titan Iron became his main priority at this moment, and in the meanwhile, he could also let her freely devour the dreamscape realms in this city of unique rank races, which would also give him a lifespan.

This goblin in front of him was a tier-4 unique rank, so he secretly ordered Nyx to plant a seed and devour his dreamscape realm. By the time the goblin realizes something amiss, he won't suspect Jacob at all.

Unaware of his impending faith, the goblin impassively answered Jacob, "If sir wants to buy the titian iron of unique rank, then there should be some available in the market, but Mister has to search for it on his own. But it's a very rare material, so it all depends on luck.

"However, you can't buy unique rank materials from the guild as long as you are not a personal member. There is another way, and that is 3-Star authority, and you will be able to exchange the materials with the guild by providing items of equal value. Or you have others buy it out for you as long as you have friends in the guild." The goblin truthfully replied since there wasn't a need to hide this open secret.

Jacob looked at the goblin meaningfully, "Can you help me with that? I make it worth your while."

The goblin seemed to have expected this question before polity shaking his head, "Even in the guild, Unique Rank Materials can only be brought by at least a Basic Great Elder level member, and this humble goblin is just an Elder Rank Alchemist. So, I'm afraid I have to disappoint mister."

"So, there's this kind of rules as well, huh?" Jacob deeply looked at the goblin's impassive eyes and didn't think he was lying, so he nodded, "Thank you for your time. Can you tell me where the market is?"

The goblin gives him the directions before Jacob exits the building and appears in the middle of a large bustling square, and more than half of the people are wearing alchemy robes there.

'If I don't find the titan iron here, I have to head to the dark city and seek Zoe's help again. However, it would take too much time, and I might not even get the quantity I'm looking for. I don't know how much Titan Iron Autarch is required to get to the unique tier-9. I'm starting to understand why there wasn't any legendary rank brain hunter in the past. It's simply impossible to rear a fantastic insect!'

Jacob sighed ruefully, but he had no choice since he was an indispensable trump card. He wasn't willing to give up, especially with those three steps of legends present in the unique plains. Furthermore, if he wanted to go to the legendary plains, he needed all the power he could muster up.

Jacob then made his way towards the city market, which was just beside the central square of the city. There were many merchants who dealt with rare materials, and most of them sold them to the alchemy guild for a higher price. So, there wasn't enough to go around for normal people who weren't a member of the alchemy guild.

As an equal exchange, Jacob decided to look into it after he went through the market. On his way there, he has Nyx planted two seeds and let her devour the dreamscape realm.

After entering the market, he saw many stalls and large shops selling all kinds of things, even common skills and scriptures. This sight was something you won't see in epic plains. The inheritance of unique plains was something that the epic plains couldn't match.

Jacob finally entered a large lavish shop selling materials, but to his dismay, they didn't have titan iron of unique rank. Only epic rank was available. According to the shop manager, all the unique rank materials were bought by the three hegemonies, especially the alchemy guild, at higher prices, so very few people sold them.

He got the same response from the other shops as well, which made him sigh, and he knew he had to take extreme measures again, and it was all the fault of the three hegemonies again because of their monopoly.

However, just as he was about to exit the market and head towards the alchemy guild, Jacob suddenly stopped in front of an old shop selling old weapons. His eyes suddenly fell on twin swords with crescent purple blades somewhat rusty, and they were two meters large with long black hilts.

But for Jacob, they were the perfect size for his short swordplay. However, his reason for stopping was the ordinary-

looking old blades since he already had advanced unique rank dual swords. Instead, he suddenly felt a strange attraction from the depth of his heart, which drew his attention.

It was very strange just like the time he senses danger in the Dead Faction territory, and he knew it was mostly related to the Fighting Giant Spirit, this trait was a complete mystery to him, but he had learned not to take these instincts for granted anymore.

Since he was already there, he decided to see why he suddenly felt that attraction from those rusty swords, which should be around advanced epic rank.

The shop owner was an old dwarf with a burly build, and seeing Jacob entering his humble shop, he was startled since Jacob's head was literally touching the ceiling. Giants were tough customers, and they disdain to step into such a shabby shop.

The dwarf was naturally not simple since he was able to open this shop in the Potion Alchemy City, but a giant customer was a first for even him.

"Welcome great sir, how may I help you?" He stood up behind the counter and politely asked.

Jacob directly pointed at those twin swords and asked, "What are those swords, and how much for them?"

The dwarf looked at those rusty epic swords and was surprised since he didn't think those old blades could draw someone like Jacob's attention, and giants usually used long-range weapons like spears, halberds, lances, great swords, and such.

Still, he honestly replied, "Those swords were sold to me by some mercenaries a few years back. They seemed to have unearthed them from the Great Arctic Forest. As for their price, I won't sell things for ZC in my shop but magic gems. 1000 Advanced Epic Rank Magic Gems for them, and the price is none negotiable!"

Jacob couldn't care less about the epic rank magic gems, so he directly paid him, took the swords, and left!
