Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

Chapter 7: Unveiling the Newbie Gift and Forbidden Secrets

"What... what just happened? How did we end up here?"

The three men looked at each other, confusion evident in their eyes.

"I saw the shopkeeper wave his hand, and the next thing we knew, we were here. Could that shopkeeper be a legendary Space Mage?"

Kennan spoke, shock written all over his face.

Mages were divided into many elements, with the most common being the five primary elements: wood, water, fire, Wind and earth.

Then there were the rarer elements: ice, lightning, darkness, and space...

Those who wielded the primary elements could, with enough effort, become strong mages.

But those with rare elemental affinities were considered unparalleled geniuses.

Once discovered, such individuals would be sought after by numerous powerful families. Even the royal family wouldn't stand by idly.

The Space element, in particular, was exceedingly rare—one in a billion people might possess it.

To think that they had just encountered a powerful Space Mage.

"We didn't even sense any spatial fluctuations. That shopkeeper's strength is likely at least at the level of a Mage King, or perhaps even a Saint Archmage."

One of the Enforcement Hall men said.

"A Saint Archmage?"

Hearing this, both Kennan and the other man gasped in astonishment.

There were very few such powerful mages in the Sacred City.

The fact that one could be hidden away in a small alley like this was shocking.

And a Saint Archmage with the Space element would be almost unbeatable, even against dozens of mages of the same level.

"This shopkeeper is definitely not an ordinary person. The pills he sells alone are unheard of. We should leave quickly. If he overhears us discussing him, he might get angry."

Kennan nodded. Although he had broken through, he could feel that there was still a lot of energy within him that he hadn't fully absorbed. He needed to go back and meditate.

The three men left in a hurry, while Sylvus, meanwhile, gave some instructions to Meylan and headed upstairs.

"System, open the newbie gift package."

With a sense of anticipation, Sylvus closed the door and spoke.

**[System notification: The newbie gift package has been opened. Congratulations to the host for receiving the following rewards: (1) Forbidden Codex (Fragmented), (2) One Grade-Three Great Rejuvenation Pill, (3) System space unlocked, and (4) System shop unlocked.]**

As the system's voice echoed in his mind, a new interface appeared in front of Sylvus.

It was a massive, seemingly endless space, and inside it lay only two items.

They were the **Forbidden Codex** and the **Grade-Three Great Rejuvenation Pill**.

**Forbidden Codex:** Fragmented. A book containing records of forbidden magic.

**Grade-Three Great Rejuvenation Pill:** Exclusive to the host. Consuming it will significantly enhance the host's magical power.

Sylvus' eyes lit up as he examined the two items.

Anything labeled as "forbidden" had to be immensely powerful, potentially even containing the legendary forbidden spells.

As for the Grade-Three Great Rejuvenation Pill, considering his current strength, taking any Grade-Three elixir would result in his body exploding.

But the system had specifically given him an exclusive pill.

This meant that after consuming it, not only would he not die, but his magical power would surge, allowing him to finally become a mage.

Since coming to this world, Sylvus had always wanted to become a mage.

And not just any mage, but a powerful one. He couldn't spend his whole life cooped up in a small shop.

Even if he was invincible, that life would be too dull.

"Let's see what forbidden magic the **Forbidden Codex** holds."

With that thought, Sylvus turned his attention to the black book in his hand.

It was about a palm thick, and if it contained all the forbidden magic, there could be over ten thousand spells recorded within.

Excited, Sylvus opened to the first page, and the system's voice chimed in once again.

**[System notification: Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Forbidden Meditation Technique.]**

In the next moment, countless strange symbols and characters flashed through Sylvus' mind.

Even though he couldn't recognize a single one, he somehow understood their meaning.

After about ten seconds, Sylvus opened his eyes, a puzzled expression on his face.

"System, how does this meditation technique rank in this world?"

In this world, cultivation required a meditation technique, much like how cultivation techniques were essential for immortals.

The stronger the meditation technique, the more magic one could absorb during meditation, making breakthroughs easier.

**[System notification: The host's Forbidden Meditation Technique far surpasses any meditation technique in this world. If the strongest meditation technique in this world is rated as a 1, then the host's technique is rated as a 100.]**

"That powerful?"

Sylvus' eyes sparkled. The system's rewards were indeed extraordinary.

Even though he hadn't started practicing yet, he could already imagine how effective the technique would be.

"To start with such an advanced meditation technique, I wonder what kinds of forbidden spells are in the rest of the book."

Sylvus eagerly flipped through the **Forbidden Codex**.

But soon, he froze in surprise. The rest of the pages were blank.

"System, why aren't there any forbidden spells recorded in the book?"

Sylvus asked.

**[System notification: The **Forbidden Codex** is incomplete, so only the Forbidden Meditation Technique is recorded.]**

"Then how can I acquire the forbidden spells?"

**[System notification: The host has a chance to obtain forbidden spells with every successful elixir sale. There's also a chance of finding them in the system shop.]**

"Right! The system shop."

With that thought, Sylvus excitedly opened the system shop to see what it had in store.
