Chen Lun stood by the window, watching the Purple Moon in the night sky.
"High Sequence Flesh Faction Mysterious Substance..."
This type of supernatural substance generally forms when a Transcendent or Supernatural Creature dies.
The spirituality-less corpse can no longer contain the mystery within, thereby releasing the remnants as "Mysterious Objects."
If the corpse is severely damaged, or if the process of transforming into a "Mysterious Object" is interrupted, it will result in an incomplete residual mystery, turning into re mysterious substance.
Moreover, if a "Mysterious Object" is subjected to an attack much stronger than itself and its structure is completely destroyed, it will also turn into corresponding mysterious substance, varying from one piece to several pieces.
But the mysterious substance cannot be destroyed; it seems to be the most fundantal unit of manifestation in the transcendent domain.
Chen Lun cald his mind and recalled for a while, indeed thinking of several thods to obtain the High Sequence Flesh Faction Mysterious Substance.
However, most of the thods involved tasks, events, and locations that were far away and currently inaccessible.
Or they were too dangerous; with his current strength, the possibility of even making an attempt was almost zero.
The risk of death was too high, not worth the gamble.
After several rounds of screening, to his knowledge, there was only one viable thod to obtain this high sequence material at the current stage.
"Amber City, 'Big Stomach' Dolly!"
The reason he rembered so vivid was because of an incident that had caused quite a stir on the forums at the ti.
In his previous life, a small guild had accidentally triggered a side mission in Amber City that required them to protect a distinguished council mber.
Initially, they thought it was not difficult, but subsequently, the guild mbers involved in the mission died one after another, eventually leading to the failure of the mission.
They didn't get any reward, and instead were investigated by the authorities due to the council mber's death, causing the guild mbers' Levels to nearly drop by one.
The president of this small guild then complained on the forum, which actually attracted the attention of many large guilds and top gars.
As they delved deeper, the gars unearthed an assassination organization called "Circus."
The assassin responsible for assassinating that council mber was nad Dolly, nicknad "Big Stomach," a Transcendent of the Flesh Faction who was halfway into the Mid Sequence.
Although Dolly was strong, he was not invincible.
In the face of the fearless Fourth Calamity, he soon expired.
After killing him, one of the lone gars who had co just for the excitent, luckily snagged a piece of loot.
To everyone's surprise, it turned out to be a High Sequence Flesh Faction Mysterious Substance!
At that mont, the gar smartly fled, hid, and logged off, executing a series of maneuvers that were exemplary.
It was only after so ti that this gar handed over the high sequence material to the force he had joined, reaping substantial benefits before being accidentally exposed.
So were angry, so were curious, so envied, and others were puzzled.
How did a mid to low Sequence NPC drop high sequence material?
No one knew, and it remained an unsolved mystery.
Chen Lun had another reason for seeking out this "Big Stomach" Dolly.
It was the place where Philip's Legacy was buried, the ho of Viscount Pompey, located in Amber City.
Thus, although Amber City was far, it was a must-go destination for Chen Lun.
Dolly beca the most feasible option among the many.
What was uncertain, however, was whether Dolly at this ti point would be in Amber City.
Even if he was, it was not clear whether he had the High Sequence Flesh Faction Mysterious Substance on him.
Because the incident happened a year after the public beta, which was still over two years away from the current ti.
"I won't think about it too much. Nothing is ever certain, trying is always better than doing nothing at all."
Chen Lun made up his mind and planned to start his journey imdiately.
"But before that, there's another thing I need to do..."
In the evening, Chen Lun made a trip to the town's Silver Dragon Trade Association.
Using a Silver Dragon Coin, he t Walsh again and submitted a commission to him.
Thinking about this, he felt a twinge of pain.
"5 Gold Pounds, halving my assets!"
He picked up the water glass from the table and took a big gulp to extinguish the bitterness in his heart.
Then he glanced at Floey, who was sound asleep on the bed, draped his cloak, and leapt straight out of the window.
After landing, he vanished into the night with a few quick moves.
Once Chen Lun had left, Floey slightly turned her head, "gazing" toward the window.
"I hope you return safely..."
The enchanting Purple Moon cast moonlight into the room through the window.
In the dim light, a broad figure was leaning against the chair behind the desk.
Knock, knock, knock...
The sound of knocking arose.
"Co in."
The door opened, and a young man wearing a white uniform walked in.
He marched straight to the desk and placed a letter on it.
"Team Leader Ralph, this is a tip-off letter we just received..."
"Hmm."
The man nad Ralph, a middle-aged man, sat up, the moonlight illuminating his face, revealing a rugged man with a beard.
He picked up the letter and asked in a deep voice,
"Who brought it?"
"The stationed Investigator saw that it was a Sturton Monk from the Red Apple Church."
Poor Sturton thought that no one would notice his sneaky behavior, but every move had been observed.
Ralph let out a cold laugh, then opened the letter to read it.
No wonder his subordinates specifically brought it to him, ordinary tip-off letters are usually reviewed by the Investigators below.
Since it's related to the Red Apple Church, it mustn't be a trivial matter.
After a while, Ralph put down the letter, his disdainful smile growing even more apparent.
"He actually said that a dangerous wild Transcendent had appeared in town, hoping that I could sniff this guy out."
Sturton furiously denounced the Transcendent's arrogant behavior in the letter.
And speculated that it might have bigger sches that could cause unimaginable harm to Erald Town.
Although the Shelter indeed is an official organization of the Empire for containing Transcendents and Mysterious Objects and suppressing any unstable elents from the roots,
Ralph sowhat couldn't understand why the Red Apple Church, which was no community service organization, would disclose this information for no reason.
"Either it's a trouble not even the Red Apple Church can resolve, or they want to use us to achieve so purpose."
Ralph lit a cigar.
He tapped the desk with his fingers, knocking twice.
"Send so Investigators to stake out near the Red Apple Church, and monitor their every move."
"Yes, team leader."
The young Investigator in white uniform placed his left hand on the right chest, bowed slightly, and then left.
"Rember, don't draw the attention of Priest Carter from the Red Apple Church."
The Investigator responded again, exited the room, and closed the door.
Click.
Ralph swiveled his chair to face the window showing the Purple Moon, puffing rings of smoke.
"That old lunatic even dares to kill believers of the Moon Church, truly a madman.
Let's observe for a while and let them bite each other."
