Chapter 122: Aromatherapy
Florera and she looked around all the stalls on this floor, and Xilutiya gradually gained quite a few insights.
Because the students are generally all First Order, the things sold here are mostly suitable for this stage, such as weapons and equipment, which are not much different from the outside world, even a bit cheaper, because students prepare for themselves before going to the Woodland, and rarely need to buy midway.
Things for daily enjoyment have prices 20%-50% higher than the outside world, because most people didn’t expect to stay on the road for so long, and out of boredom, the wine, Tea Leaves, replacement clothes, etc., in their previous luggage will have some shortages, requiring additional purchases.
The most expensive are probably things related to improving strength, often priced twice as high as the outside world, for example, Blood Wine that costs one Gold Coin outside is directly sold here for 2-3 Gold Coins, and there are still people who need it.
In addition, Xilutiya also saw many Secret Arts Manuals for sale.
“【Flame Ball Method】 for sale~ Comes with ‘Red Snow Powder’ recipe and usage techniques.”
The so-called Flame Ball Method is to instantly ignite the thrown ‘Red Snow Powder’, enhancing its explosive power and heat, which is a basic ‘Blazing Sun’ Nature Ability. It consumes ‘Red Snow Powder’ every time in battle, has considerable power, and the only drawback is that ‘Red Snow Powder’ needs to be made and replenished with money. If it runs out during battle, it cannot be used anymore.
Xilutiya vaguely remembered that Talil’s sister Winnie had previously learned this ability.
“How much is this Secret Arts price.”
“Flame Ball Method + Red Snow Powder recipe, total 10 Gold Coins.”
“A bit expensive.” The maiden shook her head. This was a very basic and simple ability, shouldn’t be worth this price.
She and Florera walked away and continued to the next stall.
“【Ice Chill Method】 cultivation method for sale, no extra materials needed for casting, significant effect.” The stall owner was clearly competing with the ‘Flame Ball Method’ next to it.
This time Florera curiously went forward and inquired about the price and effect.
“It costs 8 Gold Coins, the price isn’t expensive, but the effect is also very poor.” She came back and told Xilutiya after asking.
“My family inheritance has many ‘Sleeping Winter’ Nature Secret Arts, among which the most basic 【Freeze Method】 is stronger than this one.” The elf maiden shook her head.
“But I didn’t study them much, putting more effort into ‘Emerald Honey’ instead.”
The two continued forward, filtering out those very basic ability Secret Arts, and occasionally stopping in front of stalls selling more practical Secret Arts.
“【Lasha Court Swordplay】, selling for 50 Gold Coins, and personally instructed by me for one week.” A swordsman wearing white Light Armor stood behind the stall, arms crossed.
What is this? Xilutiya turned her gaze to the other, observing carefully.
【Lasha Court Swordplay Lv.3】 (Sky Dome): A swordplay famous for its swift-as-wind speed. When executed, it imbues oneself with ‘Sky Dome’ Nature, gaining speed bonus and reducing air resistance.
Lasha was a desert nation in the Southern Continent hundreds of years ago, where swordsmen were abundant. They exchanged extensively and later jointly created Lasha Court Swordplay, which was popular at the time.
Sky Dome Nature? Quite rare, but she plans to pursue 【Emerald Honey】 or 【Brilliant Moon】 in the future, with no extra capacity to take on more.
The Secret Arts Manuals sold afterward were also generally quite basic and simple, probably on par with the ‘Dew Prayer Method’ that Xilutiya had bought at the Gardener Guild before.
That makes sense. If it’s an ability with higher difficulty, it can’t be learned just by reading a book; it often requires someone to guide and teach.
Overall after looking around, except for the one teaching 【Lasha Court Swordplay】 which was somewhat useful, the other basic abilities currently provided little benefit to Xilutiya.
“Does Tiya want to learn a new ability?” Florera noticed this maiden stopping at every stall.
“No, just curious, because the previous place rarely had so many Secret Arts directly displayed like this.” Xilutiya answered.
“I see, but there really aren’t any more advanced Secret Arts Manuals for sale here.” Florera thought for a moment.
“If you want to learn, I can teach you a ‘Aromatherapy’ ability, which can be used for detoxification, Healing, and Restore Stamina.”
“This kind of Secret Arts should be very valuable.” Xilutiya guessed in her heart after hearing.
“No problem, we are friends, no need for Tiya to spend extra money.” She nodded, saying naturally.
Healing type? Indeed very Rare, but Xilutiya thought she might lack attack means more currently.
This world does have abilities that allow Wound Rapid Healing and complete restoration to perfect condition, but such abilities are usually Fifth Order or above. At low orders, being able to temporarily stitch wounds to stop bleeding and form surface scars is already a very strong battle recovery ability.
The true healing process often takes days or even months after battle.
The reason it’s so troublesome is that rapid healing easily causes muscle and blood vessel misalignment, which not only prevents recovery but also brings various side effect injuries. Even if treated later, it often leaves minor hidden injuries requiring long-term conditioning. More importantly, rapidly restored flesh is often not as tough as before, and using high-intensity abilities under load easily causes re-injury.
As for the effect of Wound Rapid Healing with complete recovery and no side effects, it is actually very advanced, involving powerful abilities of healing concepts, with the lowest threshold being Fifth Order.
The 【Moonlight Breathing Technique】 that Xilutiya comprehended not long ago is like this; it can only accelerate stamina recovery and rapidly heal wound surfaces, while true conditioning and healing requires after battle: minor wounds might take days, major wounds months.
Various organizations collect complete healing methods, but most come with some side effects. The ones with extremely few side effects that Xilutiya currently knows are the ‘Summer Potion’ provided by the Four Seasons Alliance, and the past ‘Melelan Ke Holy Water’ of the Silver Radiance Church.
The Silver Radiance Church had many treatment means and developed numerous Holy Medicines for healing. Back then, it attracted many talents and allies with this, but with the Silver Radiance Church’s downfall, these Secret Arts and Holy Medicines were lost, and even now, no one can reproduce many of the Silver Radiance Church’s miracle techniques from back then.
Of course, this is understandable. If these Secret Arts and abilities still circulated, it would affirm the Silver Radiance Church’s history and existence traces. The Golden Honey Dynasty was so powerful back then, naturally not allowing this to happen.
Legends possess power. If the Named One ‘Melelan Ke’ of the ‘Brilliant Moon’ path still had legends circulating, it would interfere with others obtaining the ‘Brilliant Moon’ Star Lord position at the time.
As for now, the Golden Honey Dynasty has long perished, and the contention for Brilliant Moon Star Lord has settled. Even if the Silver Radiance Church’s history reemerges, it probably won’t have much impact.
