Chapter 195: Xiang Yang City on the Magic Continent 5
“Your idea is a bit far-fetched, but it can barely explain why flowers, such strange species, would appear in a magic world.”
Knowing Sang Chu wasn’t from this world, and having seen so many plants and animals with immense energy in her space, he truly believed flowers were from another world.
And while Sang Chu and Xue You were still discussing flowers, a message came from Meng Wei An from Grandma Yun Xiang’s group: 【 Master, you mentioned that the soil in your world had problems, right? 】
Sang Chu paused for a moment, then replied: 【 Yes, because it was corroded by acid rain, it’s unusable for planting, and even if something grows, it contains toxins and is inedible. 】
Meng Wei An: 【 Grandma Yun Xiang and I saw a soil conditioner in a shop that sells magic potions. This medicine can clear toxins from the soil. Shall we buy some to try? 】
He wasn’t sure if this medicine would work on the soil corroded by acid rain that Sang Chu mentioned, but at least they could try. If it could be used, he could start preparing to refine this medicine.
【 You can prepare some, along with some magic items and the raw materials you need. Prepare as much as you can. The Apocalypse probably doesn’t have what you need. I’ll transfer another 100,000 Crystal Coins to you later. If your Storage Ring isn’t enough, buy more Storage Rings. Buy as many magic ingredients as possible. It’s better to have too much than to run out when you need them. If you don’t have enough Crystal Coins, just ask me. 】
When Meng Wei An heard Sang Chu was giving him another 100,000, he fell silent for a long time before slowly speaking, his tone somewhat heavy: 【 Thank you, Master. 】
【 You’re welcome. Take your time browsing. Buy whatever you want, no need to report to me. 】
After Meng Wei An cut off contact with Sang Chu, he remained in a state of silence. This was the first time he had encountered a Master like Sang Chu.
As a Pharmacist, he had been repeatedly sold because he had no background, no family, and insufficient strength.
His only value was his decent talent for medicine, despite being a slave.
He had no resources for cultivation. He only reached Level 2 because his previous Master’s son needed Level 2 Medicine for a magic school exam, which provided him with the resources to improve his Magic Level.
But now, he couldn’t refine the medicine his Master needed, and the Crystal Coins his Master gifted him were more than he had earned in the first half of his life combined.
Meng Wei An was now extremely anxious, fearing he would be sold again if he couldn’t meet Sang Chu’s standards. He no longer wanted to be sold; he wanted to follow Sang Chu and leave this wicked world.
Grandma Yun Xiang, watching the silent Meng Wei An, patted his shoulder: “Don’t overthink it. For now, focus on buying everything and quickly producing the permanent healing agent. That’s the priority.”
Sang Chu’s current virus is only being controlled by antidotes. No one knows when it will erupt, so clearing it quickly is the primary task.
“I know. Master has transferred a lot of Crystal Coins to me. Let’s buy the raw materials first.”
“Okay.”
The shopkeeper nearby, upon hearing Meng Wei An call someone “Master,” knew he was a Card Slave. However, he didn’t look down on him because of it, as Meng Wei An was holding a Rose Card with a significant amount of Crystal Coins.
Shopkeeper: “Guest, if you need raw materials, you might want to check out the second floor. We have new and high-level items.”
Xi Rui: “Then lead the way.”
The group followed the shopkeeper up to the second floor, where a dazzling array of Magic Beast corpses were suspended in the air, displayed in 360 degrees.
There were also many strange feathers and stones containing peculiar powers.
The shopkeeper smiled and introduced as they walked, “Every item here has been carefully selected, making them excellent materials for medicine, forging, or research.”
Meng Wei An’s gaze swept over the various Magic Beast corpses and materials. The corpses were preserved in excellent condition, with even the smallest details clearly visible, indicating some special preservation method had been used.
And among them, there was even a well-preserved high-level Corpse Spirit!
Not only him, but others saw it too.
“You have a high-level Corpse Spirit in your shop. Do you have any high-level antidotes, at least Level 5 or above?” Xi Rui asked curiously.
The shopkeeper replied proudly, “Of course. However, this high-level antidote requires a very rare and unconventional medicinal ingredient. Therefore, this medicine is kept by our shop’s exclusive Pharmacist. As for the transaction, that’s between the Pharmacist and the guest. If you gentlemen need it, I can immediately arrange for someone to invite the Pharmacist over. How about it?”
When Meng Wei An heard that the high-level medicine had a special medicinal ingredient, he understood why his attempts at refining it had always failed: “Please invite the shopkeeper.”
“Certainly. Esteemed guests, please take a look while I arrange for someone to fetch them.”
Watching the shopkeeper’s retreating back, Xi Rui looked up at the Corpse Spirit’s corpse: “The integrity of this corpse is too high. It doesn’t look like it was obtained through normal hunting. We should be careful.”
Yu Fei, who had been a silent background figure following them, walked to the corpse and gently stroked it: “The surface seems to be coated with some oil or wax, which is very strange. I think we should call the Master over.”
He felt a sense of unease for some reason, and Xi Rui had the same thought: “I’ll contact the Master now.”
Xue You and Sang Chu were walking down the street, buying all sorts of strange little things from street vendors, when they heard Xi Rui’s telepathic message:
【 Master, we are currently in a magic shop and are waiting for the shop’s high-level Pharmacist. He said he has high-level medicine, but for some reason, we feel something is not right. Master, could you come over? 】
High-level medicine?
Sang Chu’s hand paused. Xue You, playing with a small glowing crystal in her hand, looked at her curiously: “What are you doing? Pay for it?”
“Mm.”
After handing the card to the vendor, Sang Chu said to Xue You, “Can you locate Xi Rui and the others and send me directly there?”
“I can do that, but why do you need to go?”
“I don’t know. Xi Rui asked me to go.”
Xue You stared at Sang Chu, puzzled, and couldn’t help but pinch her cheek: “You’re so strange. They’re slaves; their lives aren’t valuable. You can just buy more if they’re gone. Is it worth you rushing over like this? Besides, they have Hellhounds with them, what could possibly happen?”
“Even if they are slaves, they are still people. From the moment I bought them, from the moment I took them away, they have become my inseparable companions. I, Sang Chu, cannot abandon my companions. You can owe me for whatever else you want to buy. Send me there first; delay could lead to unforeseen changes.”
“Alright.”
