Fongghao produced 600 gold coins, handing them over as he accepted the pouch.

By the way, should you continue to sell potions in the future, I would be inclined to collaborate with you, Fongghao remarked, not departing immediately.

The cloaked man paused in his actions, hesitating as he lowered his head.

Sir, I can indeed concoct potions, but acquiring the necessary materials is quite challenging, and it may take some time before new potions can be produced.

Funo contemplated for a moment before responding, "How about this? The delightful hot pot restaurant in the city is under my ownership.

As long as you could deliver potions there, they will purchase them at a fair price.

" Ah, so that establishment belongs to you.

I noticed a rabbit girls performing outside yesterday.

It was quite lively.

You may also attempt to brew some higher tier potions and I will purchase them at a fair price.

Fong Ho continued.

Oh, thank you, sir, the cloak man said, shouldering his bag.

After expressing his gratitude, he hurriedly departed.

Fong Hao watched him leave, pondering the revelation that a half demon skilled in alchemy resided within the strictly governed city of Leys.

It was truly astonishing.

As another day in the city passed, the dawn of the following morning arrived.

Fongghao exited the city of Liixus and on route established several hidden armories in the village of the grizzly bears.

He returned to his territory at dusk.

After partaking in dinner, the skeletal merchant Duo Gene entered the chamber.

"My lord," Duo Gene said with a slight bow, presenting a package.

"Uh, Duo Gene, please take a seat," Fong Hao replied with a smile.

However, Duo Gene did not sit, but instead advanced to hand the package to Fong Hao.

My lord, this is the sound conchk you ordered in the last alliance transaction.

The deal was completed yesterday.

The order for the sound conchk had been placed several days prior, and had it not been for Duene's reminder, Fong Hao might have forgotten it altogether.

Fong Ho accepted the package, which contained a total of five sound conscious.

"Oh, very well.

Has everything been running smoothly with the merchant alliance lately?" Fongo casually inquired.

"Everything is proceeding favorably, my lord.

" Duo Gene responded, "Ah, splendid.

" After a brief conversation, Duo Gene took his leave from the lord's estate.

Leaving Fong Ho alone in the hall, he retrieved the physical enhancement potion he had purchased that day, stretched his limbs, and unccorked the bottle, tilting his head back to drink.

The icy liquid slid down his throat, and he could feel a warmth spreading through his body, followed by a sharp, intolerable pain.

It felt as though iron spikes were piercing his flesh from within.

After struggling on the skeletal throne for what felt like an eternity, the pain gradually subsided, replaced by a surge of strength coursing through his body, he removed his shirt, revealing defined muscle contours.

Just as Fong how admired his physique, a system notification suddenly echoed.

Random event path of the hero accepted.

Function of the Lord's book activated.

Team formation function.

Chapter 337.

Lord Dong Jua.

Random event.

The path of the brave accepted.

Function of the Lord's book activated.

Team formation capability.

In 10 hours, the team trial task will commence, allowing a maximum of three members to form a team.

This trial is a lord trial and no subordinate heroes or troops may accompany you.

Team status.

Maximum of three members.

Participants will be automatically teleported to the territory of the team leader.

Event countdown 9 hours 59 minutes.

Wishing you good fortune, a notification sound suddenly echoed, causing Fong how to pause momentarily.

It had been a while since the last event task, and he was taken aback by the unexpected announcement of a new team event at this moment.

Based on previous experiences, team tasks can be understood as a type of trial provided by the system for the travelers.

Successfully completing the trial would yield rewards such as potions or skill equipment.

While facing risks, it also presented an opportunity to enhance one's own strength.

Ding.

A private message from the Lord's book chimed in.

It was from Don Jua.

Brother How, shall we team up again? It had been some time since he last communicated with her, and her tone suggested she was in good spirits.

Of course, it will be the three of us again, Jang Bin, you, and I.

Prepare whatever you need and let me know in advance, Fonggha replied without hesitation.

Their previous team trial had demonstrated a commendable synergy among the three.

Particularly, Dong Jiua, who appeared delicate and youthful, exhibited combat prowess that starkly contrasted with her appearance.

At the conclusion of the last challenge, she delivered a decisive blow that failed the boss, the Doomsday Wolf.

Her combat strength and skill surpassed both his and Jeang Bins.

All right, brother.

Ow.

See you tomorrow, Don Ju said with a smile.

Yes, see you tomorrow, he replied.

And in their chat, shortly after, Jeang Bin sent him a private message inquiring about the team arrangements for the next day.

Unlike Fong Ha, who had the chance to engage with the Alchemist Guild, most other lords regarded the team trial as their only opportunity for advancement.

Missing this chance might lead to an indefinite wait for the next.

Fonhao informed him that it would be the three of them teaming up again and urged him to prepare accordingly.

After notifying Jeang Bin, messages began to flow through the territory channel.

Boss, were the plans for the team task? Foule inquired evidently eager to join Fong Ha's team as having such a powerful ally would ensure his safety.

Fong Hao responded directly, "I have a fixed team, but you can team up with Kong Yong and see if there are any suitable companions available.

" with a maximum of three members allowed.

It was impossible to include everyone.

Oh, understood.

I'll rely on Brother Kong then, Fulay replied.

Not brother, but rather mutual support.

Finding another acquaintance will be safer than teaming up with strangers.

Kong Yong chimed in at that moment.

The two then proceeded to discuss their plans for tomorrow's team formation.

Fong Hao observed the two conversing for a while before disconnecting the channel.

After indulging in a soothing hot spring, he returned to his room for a brief slumber.

The following day at 6:00, Funhao awoke early, had breakfast, and began preparing the necessary equipment for his mission.

In terms of weaponry, he equipped himself with the ember staff, a black iron knight's long sword, and a feather-like dagger.

For armor, he dawned a magical robe layered over leather armor, opting against the cumbersome metal plate within the storage space of a lord's tome, aside from several life-saving potions.

He stowed away some spare gear to account for unforeseen circumstances.

Once everything was in order, Fongo summoned Dmitri and Anya, informing them of his impending departure to prevent any unnecessary alarm from his sudden absence.

At precisely 7:00, he utilized the Lord's tome to send a message to Jeang Bin.

It's getting late.

Let us form the team.

He wrote, "All right, boss.

" Jean Bin replied almost instantaneously.

Shortly thereafter, a system notification appeared before him.

Jean Bin invites you to join the team.

Do you accept? Accepted.
