After the light blue light flickered, a figure appeared in a remote corner of Venus City, Starlight Kingdom.
This is a human being with extremely ordinary appearance and clothes, and it is also the kind of public face with a very low sense of presence in the crowd. No one would have thought that this person came from the legendary "heinous" demon world.
The "travel expenses" for this trip to the surface world are free. One million belief crystals are not discounted, and one million is needed to go back. However, unlike the one that caused the space seeds to accidentally come to the ground world, this time it was prepared, and the two million belief crystals had already been prepared.
Back then, he took Shura to steal faith everywhere, raced against time and even went deep into the lair of the Church of Light, and finally managed to scrape together a million dollars, and returned to the Demon Realm to rescue Mrs. Aunt. Now it is not what it used to be. Since magic games quickly became popular in the devil world, the crystallization of faith in the super system has exploded at an acceleration far beyond expectations, which can be called terrifying. According to this growth rate, people who come and go in a few years The sky-high ticket prices in the world and the devil world will drop to the level of cabbage.
Chen Rui came to the human world this time for three main purposes. The first one is naturally the fragments of origin. According to the previous agreement with Derkus, the king of light elements, he will use the fragments of origin of light to exchange the power of origin of light and the power of wind. Source power, as long as you get these two kinds of source power, Lola's six elemental source powers will be complete, and with the national-level dragon power essence bestowed by Augustus, the success rate of Lola's six-element kingdom will be greatly improved. will also drop to the bottom.
The second purpose is about Shura and the Black Dead. At first, Chen Rui left Shura in the surface world. In addition to stealing the power of faith, he also had the purpose of eliminating the scum of the Church of Light. However, Shura joined the mysterious church by accident and became the chief deacon of the Black Death. This mysterious church turned out to be a cult with creatures from the abyss as their gods!
The abyssal creatures are the culprits that destroyed the ancient alchemy civilization and many civilizations. Apart from the illusion of trials, Chen Rui has personally experienced the power of the abyssal creatures. Judging from the few words of Satan, the abyssal creatures should be sealed somewhere. Over the years , trying to return to this world all the time, once the abyssal creatures really succeed, it will be a terrible disaster for both the demon world and the human world.
Twenty thousand years ago, the mysterious cult massacred the lives of ten cities and sacrificed them to the "gods". Such a blatant action must have been some kind of ritual to summon the abyss. Fortunately, it failed for unknown reasons and was dismissed. The Church of Light encircled and suppressed. It's a pity that the cult has not been completely wiped out, but has turned into the dark. The Black Death must still be brewing a new subversive conspiracy. Just the kind of belief that is continuously provided to the abyss is a major disaster, so Shura must return to the mysterious cult and try to destroy this terrifying organization that threatens to destroy the entire world.
Although the mysterious church has not made it to the public, its strength and scale are not trivial. Shura's personal power is limited, and now he has only come into contact with peripheral forces, so it is not appropriate to act rashly for the time being. Everyone, the Church of Light will naturally do its best to eliminate this old enemy.
The third goal is about the improvement of alchemy. At this time, there are only four months left before next year's alchemist competition. In the alchemist competition, he will face the strongest enemy of his teacher Tetnis, the potion Saman, the master of dual-materials for making and making utensils. Potions are fine, you can use potions in the super system to deal with them, but the crafting technique can only be used with real swords and guns. Since returning from the human world last time, despite the time rules of the training ground, Chen Rui has still been unable to break through the layer of window paper from the Grandmaster to the Grandmaster, feeling that the Grandmaster is a little short. On this trip to the human world, he also wanted to drop by the two master craftsmen in the Jade Forest Sea to seek a breakthrough opportunity.
From Blue Star City in the south of the Starlight Kingdom, you can reach the northern part of the Emerald Forest Sea through the Ice Sea. However, Chen Rui had plenty of time this time, so he didn't leave immediately, but came to the largest magic shop "Golden Key" in Venus City.
"It turned out to be Your Excellency! Welcome to patronize again. I don't know what you need this time? I promise, Your Excellency will get the best quotation." Last time Chen Rui purchased a large number of magic scrolls here, so the chubby shop owner Xi Siman was very impressed. His current face was quite impressive, and he personally welcomed him to the VIP room on the second floor, looking very enthusiastic.
"I need three things, magic pattern paper, blue light grass and white scorpion vine seeds, the more quantity the better!"
The branch of alchemy, scroll science, has developed to a considerable height in the ground world, and magic scrolls are also quite popular. Even ordinary people can use scrolls to cast magic, but due to various reasons, scroll science has declined in the demon world for many years. Magic scrolls In the devil world, it is a tasteless item, rare and expensive, but of low practical value, and is rarely used in battle.
When Chen Rui returned to the Demon Realm from the ground world, he received two books, "Basics of Scroll Science" and "Scroll Mastery", presented by Fenoa, the master craftsman of the elves. The information recorded in these two books is very complete, as well as Fenoa's own experience and annotations, which can be described as extremely precious. Chen Rui transcribed these two books and gave them to his teacher Tetnis and Feng Saka, the president of the Fallen Angel Artisan Alliance, and set up a research department of scroll science, and organized specialized personnel to study the scrolls. One of Rui's strategic weapons.
Due to the complete theoretical support and ready-made scrolls, the research has made gratifying progress, but relying on the scrolls produced locally in the Demon Realm, there is one problem that cannot be solved at present, and that is the materials. The material used to make the initial base of the scroll is called magic paper. This paper has quite good magic storage properties. The main materials are blue light grass and lock scorpion vine. These two plants belong to the light system. They are not uncommon in the ground world, but In the demon world where the dark elements are rich, it is almost extinct, and it is impossible to find a substitute for a while.
Therefore, Chen Rui wants to purchase a large amount of French paper and two kinds of plants and seeds this time. He can find substitutes through experiments, or use "magic soil" to cultivate them in batches (although the Star Garden can be planted, the number is limited after all).
"We still have about 300 sheets of French pattern paper in stock, but due to special reasons, the price is relatively high. There are also some lock scorpion vines and seeds, but the blue light grass... is currently out of stock." Sissman laughed and said: "Don't It is said that the golden key, even the entire surface world, is now a commodity that is in short supply, because not long ago, the Church of Light... Hehe, Your Excellency should know that during that time, the Church of Light almost blocked the nearby kingdoms, and finally all Evacuate."
Chen Rui was taken aback. This was the church's big move to suppress him at the beginning, but it was later canceled because of Isyorul's death, but what does it have to do with Blu-ray Grass
"I know about that incident. After I bought the magic scroll from you, I started to practice behind closed doors. It was completed a while ago. What happened afterwards?"
"So that's how it is!" Xisman showed a sudden look: "Your Excellency does not know, since then, the church has started to buy blue light grass and seeds on a large scale. I don't know the specific reason. Now the prices of blue light grass and French paper It has increased several times, and the entire magic scroll market has also been greatly affected. Although many magic botanical gardens have increased their planting area and scale, it will take at least a year before they can be matured and applied. Before that, the price of magic scrolls is very difficult. fall back."
"That's it..." Chen Rui vaguely guessed that the church's large purchase of Blu-ray grass should be related to the disappearance of the Sheda Lay tree. It may be a substitute or a remedy. However, in this way, his scroll plan is likely to be stranded .
Chen Rui thought for a while and asked: "My family has been in business for many years. Ming people don't say dark words. The tight market doesn't mean that there is no one. Otherwise, the magic scrolls will be out of stock long ago. I know you must have stockpiled them. Think It's up for grabs, how about this, I'll exchange it with the Dark Soul Grass."
Dark Soul Grass is a very rare magical plant with relatively pure dark power. It is an essential material for making weapons and advanced potions. Of course, this "rare" is for the ground world. In the demon world, Dark Soul Grass is more common than bluegrass or scorpion vine.
Chen Rui experimented with medicine some time ago, and there are many related materials in the storage warehouse, and the dark soul grass is one of them. In fact, there are many other items with similar price differences. If it is only for money, he can be a "planetary merchant", but he obviously doesn't want to do that.
"Dark Soul Grass?"
Sissman's eyes lit up immediately, and he saw a dark purple plant in Chen Rui's hand. Sissman took it and took a closer look: "It really is a dark soul grass, and the quality is quite high. How about it? Exchange 20 pieces of dark soul grass for 20 blue light grasses, and I will add another 30 seeds. I know that you are at a disadvantage at this price. In the past, this kind of exchange would have been impossible, but now is an extraordinary period. If you need it urgently If so, the price is already very fair. If you don’t need it urgently, then next year when the price drops, you come here again, and I will give you a discount at the current price.”
What Thisman said was very beautiful, but if the other party didn't need it urgently, why would he exchange the Dark Soul Grass
Chen Rui naturally understood this and did not reveal it. In fact, the dark soul grass was much cheaper to him than the blue light grass, so he nodded immediately: "Okay, let's change to a thousand plants first."
"A thousand plants!" Hissman was taken aback. He originally thought that the other party was only a few dozen plants, but he didn't expect such a huge amount. This requires 20,000 blue-glow grasses and 30,000 seeds. With the current market price, not to mention that his store does not have so many stocks, even the magic stores in the entire Venus City do not have more than 10,000 stocks. .
"If not, I'm going somewhere else."
"Please wait a moment!" Sissman's mind turned quickly. This is a big business with a stable profit, at least five times the profit, and he must not just watch the fly away.
If he can't take this big order, it doesn't mean that others can't either.
"Well," Thisman finally made a decision, "I will introduce a person to your Excellency. He just needs the Dark Soul Grass, and he should have enough Blu-ray Grass on hand, but there is one condition, that is, you must first contact the golden one. In exchange for two hundred dark soul grasses, I will hand over four thousand blue light grasses and six thousand seeds. What do you think?"
"No problem, we can trade now, including spell paper and lock scorpion vine, what I want to know is, who is the buyer of the exchange? Don't worry, I will complete the transaction with you first." Chen Rui waved his hand , two hundred dark soul grasses have appeared on the table.
"Of course I can trust your Excellency!" His eyes narrowed with a smile, and he immediately arranged for the clerk to count, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, that person is a disciple of Master Matthews from the Alchemy Department of Starlight Academy. Here, he is a very enthusiastic and talkative young man. There is absolutely no problem in communication. He happened to be shopping around for dark soul grass these days, and he should still be in the city now. There should be a large amount of blue light grass in stock in the Alchemy Department of Starlight Academy. I'm sending someone to find Fitz now."
Not long after, Fitz appeared in the VIP room. He was a short black-haired young man, somewhat out of breath. He had obviously arrived in a hurry, and upon meeting him, he asked, "Your Excellency, do you really have a lot of Dark Soul Grass?" ?”
"Are you Lord Fitz? My name is Simon, how many dark soul grasses do you need?"
"I want as many as you have!"
"How about a thousand plants?" Chen Rui asked tentatively.
"You really have a thousand plants?" Fitz said joyfully after receiving an affirmative answer, "Great! I'll give you the highest purchase price!"
Chen Rui shook his head: "Sorry, I only accept the exchange, I need the blue light grass and its seeds."
"Blue light grass?" Fitz thought for a while, "Okay! One hundred plants plus one hundred seeds for one plant, what do you think?"
"Of course, the price is very fair." Chen Rui looked at Sisman beside him, and the fat shopkeeper sneered, pretending not to hear.
"By the way, do you still have any dried mandala leaves? Only twenty grams are enough."
Datura flowers? Chen Rui suddenly thought of a yard with the fragrance of tea. He felt warm and said with a smile, "If it is to make white medicine, then... fresh mandala leaves should be able to achieve better results."
Fitz looked at a dark blue leaf in the opponent's hand, his eyes widened: "This... is really a mandala leaf! Great! The task assigned by the teacher can be completed! Your Excellency Simon, due to the amount of exchange It’s relatively big, if it’s convenient for you, please come with me to the academy.”
Chen Rui thought for a while and agreed.
Starlight Academy is located on the outskirts of Venus City. It is the most famous institution of higher learning in the human world. It has a long history and has cultivated countless elite talents. Many nobles from empires or kingdoms have sent their children to the academy to study. Its popularity and teaching quality It can be seen.
The two set off in a carriage, and about four hours later, the carriage stopped.
"Your Excellency Simon, since the academy's Tower of Stars is about to open soon, it will be very strict to enter the academy for inspection later, please don't mind."
Tower of stars? Chen Rui's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of the term that was mentioned by the princess when she was in the Emerald Forest to win over him. It is said that it is an excellent place for cultivation, even for holy-level powerhouses.
I don't know, will I have the opportunity to see the Tower of Stars this time, and I don't know if I will see those "acquaintances" from that day
"Your Excellency Simon?" The enthusiastic pharmacist reminded, interrupting Chen Rui's train of thought.
"Oh, nothing, let's get out of the car."
