Chapter 195: A New Mission
After bidding on the top-quality plant essence, Jia Na did not bid on anything else.
Even if she was tempted, facing the high prices, Jia Na, whose savings had dropped below five figures,
Still stopped her impulsive shopping thoughts.
Her purpose in buying the top-quality plant essence this time was not for herself, but for the Thorn Flower Fairy.
As the second summoned creature Jia Na contracted after the Celestial Sparrow, the Thorn Flower Fairy's current speed of improvement was already far behind the Celestial Sparrow.
Even the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon, Flame Guardian, and Thundercloud, which were contracted later, their combat strength had already surpassed the "old senior" Thorn Flower Fairy, catching up from behind.
Therefore, Jia Na's current strategy for improving strength was to continue enriching her own Witchcraft knowledge reserves while also rationally allocating the resources at hand to support her contracted creatures in completing subsequent promotions—
And for the Thorn Flower Fairy, a plant-type elemental spirit, plant-type essence with pure energy was the most suitable resource for her.
In addition, the few source energy fragments Jia Na still had left, after much consideration, she decided to give them all to the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon to use.
After all, these source energy fragments were obtained in the Mirror Layer Domain, and the Law power contained within was also very suitable for supplementing the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's illusion construction ability.
As for other contracted creatures, the source energy fragments from the Mirror Layer Domain were just a pure energy crystal. Although they had a significant effect, their cost-effectiveness was not as high as when used on the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon.
"The Silver Mirror hasn't even condensed 'one eye' yet. I wonder how much energy it will need when it truly promotes to 'Hundred-Eyed'—"
If push came to shove, Jia Na even planned to directly borrow the Guardian Veil from Richard-Eva and, in her physical form, enter the Mirror Layer Domain directly through the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's mirror entrance to hunt mirror creatures and accumulate source energy fragments.
However, if Jia Na faced magical beasts of the same strength as the Howling Moon Wolf King last time, with her strength,
She would not be able to win in a one-on-one fight.
Even if she found external help, if so many people went in at once, the pressure on the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon would become very great.—.
In addition to continuously consuming its own magic power to support the stability of the mirror entrance, the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon also needed to overcome its own psychological barrier.
After all, collaborating with outsiders to hunt creatures from its own plane was like colluding with the enemy for the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon. Small disturbances were fine, but if the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon did something that significantly reduced the origin power of the Mirror Layer Domain, it might very well be directly expelled from the Mirror Layer Domain by the plane will.
"Forget it, let's plan for the long term.

The last Finale was a top-tier apprentice-level Witchcraft tool called "Substitute Doll". Its function was to transfer three fatal injuries for the wearer.
The starting price was ten thousand jin sule, and each bid could not be less than one thousand jin sule.
Just hearing this price, Jia Na gave up.—
"Miss Jia Na, this is the item you just bid on. Please inspect it."
"Okay."
As the auction ended, Jia Na, after greeting Sophina-Silvermoon, followed the attendant into the transaction hall on the second floor for item inspection.
"There's no problem with the item."
Jia Na, who took the sealed box from the female attendant, just placed her palm on the top of the sealed box, and the surging plant-type energy inside made the magic power in Jia Na's body feel like it was about to burst forth.
Immediately, after opening the box and inspecting it, Jia Na put the item into her thorn bracelet and stored it properly. "This is your invoice, please check it as well."
【Transaction amount: 2050 jin sule;
Handling fee: 50 jin sule (waived)
Total: 2000 jin sule】
During normal auction transactions, Jia Na had to pay an additional 2.5% handling fee in addition to the bid price.
However, since Sophina-Silvermoon had promised Jia Na a discount beforehand, this portion of the handling fee was removed from the price as a discount.
At the same time, to thank Jia Na for successfully bringing traffic to the Purple Hibiscus Auction House today, Sophina-Silvermoon, in her personal name, reduced all future transaction fees for Jia Na at the Purple Hibiscus Auction House to 0.1%, which is equivalent to not charging any.
In response, Jia Na, who also understood the principle of returning a favor, promised Sophina-Silvermoon that she would participate in relevant activities at the Purple Hibiscus Auction House in the future free of charge and promote it for free.
"The invoice amount is also correct."
"Okay, this way, please."
After completing the transaction, Jia Na followed the female attendant downstairs. Zhu Li-An, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, saw Jia Na come down and placed the warm cloak she had already prepared on her shoulders.
"Director David and the others left earlier because the troupe had something urgent."
Looking at the crowd in the auction hall who were leaving one after another, Jia Na also nodded.
"Then let's go back too."
"Okay, but there are still many reporters waiting outside, so I had Weini drive the carriage to the back door of the side hall in advance to make it convenient for us to leave."
"Zhu Li, you are truly a thoughtful person."
Hearing Zhu Li-An's thoughtful arrangement, Jia Na, who had been tired all day, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"This is what I should do—"
Because the back door of the side hall was relatively hidden, Jia Na and her group hardly encountered any reporters and returned to the troupe smoothly.
Then, removing makeup, skincare, changing clothes—after doing these things, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Finally, Jia Na, who had finished her day's work, quickly said goodbye to Zhu Li-An, put on her large Wizard hood, and quickly headed in the direction of White Coral Academy along the way she came.
"Hmm?"
Just as Jia Na was rapidly returning using the Light Feather Spell, suddenly, a pungent smell made Jia Na's steps pause abruptly.
"This is—the smell of dark sun contamination?"
Although the smell was extremely faint, for Jia Na, who had successfully mastered the Purification Law Fragment, it was like a fire in the dark night, extremely dazzling.
"Ding all"
Just as Jia Na was a little hesitant, suddenly, a familiar prompt sounded in Jia Na's ear.
【Today's Mission: Complete the Purification of dark sun contamination;
Mission Rewards: 500 talent experience points, 2000 skill experience points, two random rewards.】
Looking at the blue text on the mission panel, in just a moment, Jia Na quickly chanted the Envoy Summons spell.
