Chapter 1243 The Internal Members

Because of Shi Feng's instructions, the alchemists in the special grade alchemy room began to quietly leave in an orderly fashion.

However, everyone was still surprised by the results of the competition. Originally, everyone thought that Miao Wu Yin would be the favorite to win the championship, but they did not expect that she would not even be able to enter the top three, and the gap was so obvious, which was really incredible.

But as Shi Feng said, they still underestimated the background of the Candlelight Trading Firm.

The difference in training between the internal and formal members of the Candlelight Trading Firm was much greater than imagined, and this difference was like an insurmountable chasm.

At this time, everyone deeply understood why Shi Feng announced that formal members could participate in the competition.

From the very beginning, Shi Feng didn't think that formal members could win the top spots, so he confidently allowed the formal members without much restraint to participate in the competition.

Although the benefits of the top ten were good, they were fundamentally different from the top three.

In God's Domain, Mithril-grade alchemy tools were precious, but the major guilds had some. However, from the third place onwards, one could use a whole set of Fine-Gold grade alchemy tools, Ocean's Radiance. This was a precious item that not every guild could obtain, and even super guilds might not have it, let alone the second place, who could use Dark-Gold grade alchemy tools.

With the help of these top-quality alchemy tools, the success rate of creating new potions would be much higher. Otherwise, it would not have attracted so many advanced alchemists to join the Candlelight Trading Firm.

As everyone left one by one, Miao Wu Yin suddenly walked up to Shi Feng.

"What's going on? Is Miao Wu Yin dissatisfied with the results of the competition?"

"Probably not. We've all seen the videos of the crafting process. There were no problems at all. Mu Mian and the others' strength is genuine. Even if they compete a few more times, the results would probably be the same."

"I don't understand how there could be such a big gap? I remember that Mu Mian and the other two were much worse than Miao Wu Yin before."

"How would I know? But it should be related to the previous internal training. It's a pity that I don't have the strength to get in."

Everyone couldn't help but talk quietly as they looked at Miao Wu Yin, admiring her very much.

"Guild Leader, can I ask you a question?" Miao Wu Yin looked at Shi Feng with a serious expression.

"A question?" Shi Feng looked at Miao Wu Yin's serious expression, smiled, and said, "Sure, ask away."

"I want to know if the alchemy techniques that Mu Mian and the others learned are only available to internal members?" Miao Wu Yin took a deep breath and asked.

"You could say that," Shi Feng said after thinking for a moment.

He was also quite surprised by the performance of the three. He didn't expect that the three of them had gained quite a bit from the *Book of Moon Secrets*.

The *Book of Moon Secrets* was indeed an alchemy treasure, but it only counted as a complete set when three volumes were gathered. He only had the first volume, which only recorded various material information from God's Domain. It was like an encyclopedia of raw materials, and it did not record any alchemy techniques. The basic alchemy techniques that the internal members learned were just things he obtained from the Moon God Research Institute.

The techniques that Mu Mian and the others used were not in the basic alchemy techniques he provided.

"..." Everyone had perked up their ears, wanting to hear Shi Feng's answer, but they didn't expect that the guild leader's answer would be so uncertain.

What did "you could say that" mean?

They didn't get the answer they wanted at all, whether they had learned it or not.

"Then, if I become an internal member of Candlelight, can I learn the techniques that Mu Mian and the others learned?"

Miao Wu Yin couldn't understand the techniques that Mu Mian and the others displayed. Every action was so ordinary, and they didn't even use any basic alchemy techniques, but the final result completely crushed her.

In Mu Mian and the others, it was as if she had seen a new door.

For an alchemy fanatic like her, if she didn't investigate this kind of magical technique, her heart would be as uncomfortable as if it were being scratched by a cat.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, I wonder if I could also read these alchemy techniques if I become an internal member of Candlelight?" At this time, Wu Ming, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up and looked at Shi Feng.

"Master Wu Ming?" You Lan couldn't help but be stunned.

Master Wu Ming was someone who even Underworld couldn't buy off. He was not subject to any restrictions in Underworld because he hated all kinds of restrictions. Underworld had no way to deal with him, but now Master Wu Ming actually agreed to accept this kind of restriction for the sake of alchemy techniques...

You Lan couldn't understand what kind of alchemy techniques could make Master Wu Ming so obsessed.

"I can't guarantee the alchemy techniques you're talking about. I can only say that how much you can learn as an internal member of Candlelight depends on yourselves."

Shi Feng could see the two people's desire for alchemy techniques, but he really couldn't guarantee this.

After all, the techniques and methods that Mu Mian and the other two had mastered were not from the *Book of Moon Secrets*. The first volume of the *Book of Moon Secrets* was just a database. To what extent the information in the database could be utilized depended entirely on the player's personal level.

Moreover, he had not expected Mu Mian and the other two to be able to utilize the *Book of Moon Secrets* to this extent.

Miao Wu Yin and Wu Ming fell into deep thought after hearing Shi Feng's answer.

From Shi Feng's meaning, it was clear that he couldn't guarantee anything.

"In that case... I'll join!" After thinking for a moment, Miao Wu Yin finally chose to become an internal member of Candlelight.

Although she didn't know what the internal benefits of the Candlelight Trading Firm were, she was somewhat anxious after seeing Mu Mian and the others' progress. It had only been such a short time, and Mu Mian and the others' levels had already surpassed hers.

She had to admit that the Candlelight Trading Firm was really strong, possessing advantages that even super guilds didn't have. Although she was very confident in herself, she wasn't blind.

If things continued like this, the gap between her and Mu Mian and the others would probably only grow larger and larger, which was not the result she wanted to see.

Moreover, she was also very curious about what exactly could make Mu Mian and the other two's crafting levels surpass her by so much in such a short time.

"How interesting, I'll join too." Wu Ming glanced at Miao Wu Yin and Mu Mian and the others, and smiled slightly.

Although it was great to have the freedom to experiment without restrictions, competing with a group of alchemy masters also aroused the fighting spirit and vigor that he had lost for many years.

Now his goal had changed. He would put the title of number one alchemist in God's Domain aside for the time being. He decided to first become the chief alchemist of the Candlelight Trading Firm, and then compete for the title of number one alchemist in God's Domain.

"As expected of the guild leader, now we don't have to worry about the potion problems of the Candlelight Trading Firm." Gloomy Smile looked at Miao Wu Yin and Wu Ming, these two great alchemy masters who were willing to officially become internal members of Candlelight, and couldn't help but sigh at Shi Feng's clever methods.

With the two people's crafting levels, there would be a guarantee for making those extremely difficult potions.

You Lan on the side was also dumbfounded.

Underworld had tried so hard to not truly bring Wu Ming into Underworld, but Zero Wing only let Wu Ming participate in a competition, and he took the initiative to want to truly join...

If Underworld knew about this, she wondered what they would think?

As Miao Wu Yin and Wu Ming announced their intention to become internal members, the other advanced alchemists who were still hesitant about being tied to the Candlelight Trading Firm also gritted their teeth and joined.

For a time, the alchemy strength of the Candlelight Trading Firm went up another level.

Afterwards, Shi Feng handed over the matters of the Candlelight Trading Firm to Gloomy Smile, and asked Gloomy Smile to re-explain the benefits of being an internal member to Miao Wu Yin and the others.

Compared to formal members, the benefits of internal members were not only better, but they could also accumulate more guild points. At the same time, they could learn rare alchemy recipes. What Miao Wu Yin and Wu Ming didn't expect was that in addition to learning basic alchemy secret techniques, they could also learn advanced alchemy secret techniques, but they needed to spend enough guild points to learn them. They couldn't just learn them whenever they wanted.

"In addition to these basic benefits, the main benefit of internal members is this item." Gloomy Smile said, taking out a thick book from his bag space and placing it on the stone table. "As long as you master a basic alchemy secret technique, you can view this book once. If you can master an advanced alchemy secret technique, you can view it five times."

The alchemists who had just become internal members of Candlelight were in an uproar as they looked at the thick book on the stone table.

They were even more surprised to hear what Gloomy Smile said. Basic alchemy secret techniques were not easy to learn. You could only view the book once after you had learned one. This kind of requirement was simply outrageously high.

However, the alchemists who had already become internal members were staring straight at the thick book on the stone table, their eyes full of desire, wishing they could read it for the rest of their lives.

"Wait... this book is... the *Book of Moon Secrets*!"

At this time, whether it was Miao Wu Yin or Wu Ming, when the two saw the ancient God's language on the cover of the thick book, their mouths were wide open, and their breathing seemed to be much heavier.
