Chu Mu decisively took out a gold coin and six silver coins and handed them to the old vendor, saying: “I want them now.”
The old vendor nodded, went to the back of the empty shop, and rummaged through the clutter, making a series of chaotic sounds.
A moment later, the old vendor came out with some dust on his beard and handed two bottles of Tianlan grass to Chu Mu, both in poor-quality medicine vials.
Chu Mu looked at the two Tianlan grasses with a strange look in his eyes.
The old vendor glanced at Chu Mu, seemed to see something, and reassured with a smile: “Don’t worry, the quality of these two Tianlan grasses is only better than that of the other potion shop. The reason I sell them so cheap to you is that I am investing in you. Each early-stage Actor is very tough, and the Green Nightmare Demon Palace can’t provide that many resources, so external purchases are necessary.”
“Now, our transaction between us is trivial to me, even these two Tianlan grasses are like garbage to me, I can give them to you for free. However, I am a merchant… ”
“In the future, when you are stronger and get something valuable, you can sell it to me. If I have something you need or even if I don’t, I will help you get it through other channels. As for the price, it will be reasonable.”
Chu Mu pondered at the old man for a while and suddenly realized that this gloomy old guy did have a business savvy, and he understood the importance of securing a potential big client from the beginning.
Indeed, as the old man said, Chu Mu is now running around for these few gold coins. Still, it won’t be long before these few gold coins mean nothing to him, and the exchanged items will definitely be more valuable…
“What do you think?” the old vendor asked.
“Agreed,” Chu Mu nodded and continued, “Do you have any soul techniques here?”
“Yes, there are quite a few Soul Disciple techniques, and some Soul Warrior techniques, but the prices will definitely be too high for you now,” the old vendor said.
“What are they?” Chu Mu asked.
“Soul Disciple Techniques: Nature Affinity, Mind Probe, Beast Language…
These all cost two gold coins.”
“Bloodthirsty Technique, Heart of Water, Skin Petrification, Stealth, Rapid Freeze… Five gold coins.”
“Soul Warrior Techniques: Flame Attachment, Lingguang Shield… Fifty gold coins,” the old vendor said.
After hearing the prices, Chu Mu frowned, and it was quite evident that even the cheapest two gold coin techniques, whose effects were not very significant, Chu Mu didn’t have enough money to buy them.
The soul techniques introduced by the old vendor were all fairly useful, and the one that interested Chu Mu the most was the Soul Warrior skill – Flame Attachment
Flame Attachment allowed a Soul Pet Master to use Soul Power to exert stronger fire energy, sticking it to the Soul Pet’s body. The Soul Pet’s control of fire attributes would be enhanced to a certain extent, and the power of the flames would be much stronger. With this soul technique, if applied to MO Ye, MO Ye could challenge Servant-level creatures that were three stages higher than itself.
After noting down the old vendor’s location, Chu Mu didn’t linger on those soul techniques that made him somewhat tempted and found the potion shop on this street.
For level one medicinal materials, Chu Mu could extract energy using his own soul power, but the configuration of level two medicinal materials was very complicated. Chu Mu was not an alchemist, and even if he knew the formula, he might fail due to a lack of skill.
“Five silver coins…” the young alchemist gave Chu Mu a straightforward price.
” Chu Mu now had only four silver coins left. Providing medicinal materials, and the fact that the preparation of Sky Blue Jade Luzhi would only take a few minutes for an ordinary alchemist, would make more money in a few minutes than Chu Mu hunting Soul Pets!
“I only have four silver coins…” Chu Mu suddenly realized that without funds, many things would indeed be hindered.
“Fine, four it is. Give me the medicinal ingredients.” The young pharmacist showed an impatient look, took the ingredients, and went to the counter. He skillfully chopped, extracted, refined, and mixed the two different ingredients…
Five minutes later, the young pharmacist handed over a bottle of blue potion and said lightly, “Give it to a second-rank soul pet to drink, and after resting for half a day to a day, it will be fine.”
After saying that, the young pharmacist turned around and didn’t bother with Chu Mu anymore.
Chu Mu didn’t care about the arrogance and coldness of the pharmacist. In fact, most people in this profession had this kind of superior attitude.
Chu Mu had once studied medicine for a while but later felt that, instead of spending time here, he might as well focus on improving his strength. He believed that with enough strength, he would have enough money to let these pharmacists make the medicine for him for free.
After obtaining the Sky Blue Jade Luzhi, Chu Mu returned to his room on the outer periphery of the Nightmare Demon Palace.
“Chu Mu, how come I haven’t seen you the whole day?” Ting Yu’s voice came from the next room.
“I was just wandering around.” Chu Mu replied.
“Today, people from other Green Nightmare Demon Islands came to provoke us. Those guys are really annoying.” Ting Yu said.
“Oh, they must be here to test us.” Chu Mu replied.
In a few days, there would be battles for the actors, and the higher the ranking, the higher the position and the more rewarding it would be. To gain more resources and power, some smart actors would definitely want to know about the strength of the people on other islands.
“Yes, but they are indeed very strong. I heard they even have second-form soul pets, and some of them have obtained their third soul pet. No wonder Executor Zeng Ze sighed; he must know that we have no hope of getting a good ranking…” Ting Yu said.
Nobody else knew about MO Xie’s advance to the second rank; Ting Yu also thought that MO Xie was still at the ninth stage. There was still a significant gap between the strength of the first rank and the second rank even if the former reached the ninth stage, so that was why Ting Yu felt so dejected…
Chu Mu casually responded, not chatting much with Ting Yu, and began to let MO Xie, who was battle-worn, drink the Sky Blue Jade Luzhi.
After sniffing at the Sky Blue Jade Luzhi, MO Xie opened its mouth and drank it in one gulp.
Not long after drinking it, MO Xie’s eyes narrowed, looking very sleepy. Before Chu Mu had time to let it return to the Soul Pet Space, Little MO Xie had already fallen asleep on Chu Mu’s bed.
“Have a good rest, and you’ll be able to advance to Second Rank Third Stage when you wake up.” Chu Mu said while stroking MO Xie’s soft fur.
“Shasha shasha–
Seeing MO Xie, Little Green Worm immediately jumped from the head of the bed onto MO Xie. The Green Worm loved the noble fur around MO Xie’s neck and would crawl on it like a little parasitic insect and sleep whenever MO Xie appeared.
However, just as Little Green Worm jumped up, Chu Mu put MO Xie back into the Soul Pet Space, and Little Green Worm fell onto Chu Mu’s bed, its eyes dizzy.
“Little guy, you go to sleep too.” After putting Little Green Worm back to the
head of the bed, Chu Mu leaned on the edge of the bed and began to feed the
White Nightmare Demon with his soul power..
