"I smell blood on you, young man!"
The old hag screamed exaggeratedly.
"You're a dark wizard, aren't you?"
"Why, I didn't know there was a rule not to sell dark wizards in the city that never sleeps!" Leylin frowned.
"Hey... Don't be nervous, I am also a dark wizard, but that was more than 200 years ago. Thinking about the time back then, I really miss it..."
The old witch laughed like a night owl.
"Young people who want to take a shortcut, the price of energy particle crystallization is very expensive, and it is not affordable for a new wizard. You must not have many magic stones, but as your senior, I can give you another suggestion..."
Leylin frowned even more, "What suggestion?"
"Exchange! You know, at our level, the resources of the mortal world are no longer attractive to us. Only wizards of the same level have the materials we urgently need..."
"What do you need?" Leylin suddenly had a bad feeling.
"One thousand! One thousand strong souls full of soul power! As long as you provide me with this, all the dark crystals in my hand will be yours!"
The old witch's eyes shone with excitement.
"Are you crazy? Collecting a thousand souls in a place under the control of the white wizard, you might as well let me just kill myself!"
Leylin said very indignantly.
Extracting souls is a delicate job. To get the quantity that the old witch said, at least ten thousand living people are needed.
If Leylin dared to do such a shocking case, he would definitely be hunted down by the white wizards to death!
"I didn't let you do it here, you can do it on the territory controlled by the dark wizards!" The old witch looked indifferent.
"The journey is too long, it takes too much time, and I don't want to provoke other dark witch forces!"
Leylin shook his head directly and rejected the old witch's request, "Since you have written a message in the trading center, you must still have a demand for magic stones. Souls are not unavailable in the city that never sleeps. It's a big deal to spend more time and slowly Accumulation is enough... "
"Okay, but, young man, I want to remind you that the price of a shadow element crystal is not a small sum!"
The old witch struggled for a moment, and then she knew that her request was a little impossible, so she could only return to the counter unwillingly.
Ping ping pong!
The old witch searched for a long time before she put a conical glass bottle on the counter.
And at the bottom of the glass bottle, there is a puddle of black semi-solid crystal liquid, which emits a mysterious luster, as if it wants to suck the soul of a person into it.
"300 grams of dark-type energy particle crystals are priced at one hundred magic stones per gram!"
"Boy, I still reiterate the proposal just now, as long as you bring me a thousand souls, these are all yours!"
The old witch was still trying her best to confuse Leylin.
"No need!" Leylin shook his head, the price was really beyond his ability to pay.
Most of his magic stones were obtained by refining and selling medicines in the past. Later, he paid a lot of money in the academy's blood fight, and got a lot of magic stones and precious materials.
These things, after yesterday's consumption, are almost consumed now.
However, if he wanted to risk collecting souls for this little thing, Leylin had no intention of doing such a stupid thing.
Even among the dark wizards, slaughtering a large number of mortals to collect souls would be regarded as an extremely evil existence.
Leylin didn't want to be a street rat on the south coast where everyone shouted and beat him up.
"Can I use other materials to compensate?" Leylin asked.
"Yes!" The old witch nodded, "However, I only accept materials related to souls. For other things, the price I buy here is 10% lower!"
"soul?"
Leylin understood somewhat. This old witch was probably a wizard who specialized in the study of spirit bodies. Now that the experiment was at a critical stage, a lot of materials were needed for speculation and demonstration.
Speaking of precious materials, Leylin still has a lot of them, but many of them are useful to him, and he is not ready to let go. Thinking that this witch also studies the soul, Leylin's eyes flashed, and he had an idea.
"So... Higher knowledge about the soul, do you accept it?"
Leylin asked.
"Advanced knowledge? Let me take a look first!" The old witch's eyes lit up.
Leylin smiled, took out a finger-sized pearl from his pocket, and handed it over.
This kind of pearl is also a tool specially used to store information. Leylin put some spiritual body data that he had studied and recorded during his apprenticeship in it.
Although Leylin was only at the apprentice level at the time, with the assistance of the chip, his research on spirit bodies was very in-depth, even surpassing some instructors in the academy.
Moreover, Leylin is only planning to sell some of the early content.
As for his later experiments on improving the Blood Grudge Potion, as well as some of the contents obtained from the Book of Giant Serpents, they are not going to be sold.
The old witch took a look, "It seems that it is only an apprentice-level experimental material, I don't accept this..."
But as time passed, her face became more and more serious, and even a hint of obsession appeared.
"What an exquisite experimental method! Also, a very interesting idea! What's next! Give me the content behind!" The old witch roared, with a hint of madness.
However, after seeing this, a confident smile appeared on Leylin's face.
"Then, it seems that we can discuss the price of this document..."
Ten minutes later, Leylin left the old witch's shop with a smile on his face.
And the glass bottle containing the crystallization of dark energy particles was lying in his arms intact.
He also somewhat underestimated the old witch's obsession with spirit body experiments. She directly offered a high price of 20,000 magic stones for the previous material.
After Leylin took out one hundred high-level magic stones again, all the dark crystals in the old witch's hand were eaten by Leylin.
Moreover, after seeing Leylin's experiment materials, the old hag seemed to be a different person, becoming extremely enthusiastic, and even invited Leylin to participate in her experiment.
But for such a sensitive thing, Leylin thought about it, and still declined, but he left a secret mark on the other party. Although the madness of the old witch made him a little reluctant to get close to it, it is undeniable that she does have something special in her hand. There were few good things, and, Leylin had an idea in his heart, and he just needed such a partner to carry it out.
…
"Wizard Leylin, I see you again. Is your schedule going well this afternoon?"
When the street lights came on one by one, Leylin returned to his villa.
And on the way, he just ran into the red-haired old man Cleo again.
At this time, the old man was lying comfortably on the couch, and there were several scantily-clad maids beside him, constantly feeding delicious food into his mouth.
"This old man, does he have a habit of being peeped?"
Leylin was a little speechless for Cleo enjoying himself in the open-air garden so ostentatiously.
But on the surface, he still showed a smile, and said to Cleo through the fence: "Fortunately, I finally bought a few materials that I dreamed of..."
"Haha... After waiting here for a long time, you will find that in the city that never sleeps, everything is available!"
The old man drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, grabbed a maid next to him, and started kissing indifferently in front of the public.
And the other maids around were giggling and giggling, seeming to be very used to this situation.
Although I know that some official wizards will become more indulgent and wanton after they have no hope of promotion, but this is the first time I have seen it. Leylin felt a little eye-opening, and chatted with Cleo for a few more words. Only then returned to his villa.
After returning to his bedroom, Leylin lay on the bed, thinking about what happened today.
After getting the crystal from the old witch, Leylin saw that it was still early, and at the same time, he was still a bit lucky, so he contacted the wizard who wanted to exchange for the fire-swallowing bird egg, and wanted to buy it in other ways. The dark crystal in the opponent's hand.
But his attempt failed. The other party only wanted to swallow the firebird egg. Even if Leylin offered a price that was 50% higher than the market price, it still couldn't impress the other party.
In the end, the unwilling Leylin could only spend a few hundred more magic stones, and only returned to the villa after posting a long-term purchase of dark energy particle crystals on the trading square.
"Chip! Collect my current body data and simulate the best plan for absorbing dark crystals!"
Leylin thought silently in his heart.
"The task is established, the main body data is being collected, and the guessing model is started!"
The chip that received the command from the main body began to calculate rapidly, and rows of data continuously flowed past Leylin's eyes.
The next day, Leylin went for a casual stroll first, found a restaurant and enjoyed a sumptuous meal before returning to his residence.
At this time, the basement of the villa had been transformed by Leylin, and a huge witchcraft circle was carved on the ground.
And in the center of the magic circle is the particle crystal of the dark system that he bought just yesterday.
"According to the calculation of the chip, in this mode, the absorption effect of the crystal is the best, and the utilization rate reaches 94.7%"
Leylin muttered, and came to the center of the magic circle.
"Activate!" He spoke the command to open in ancient Byron.
Buzz buzz!
The entire witchcraft circle trembled and began to emit a blurred brilliance.
And in the center of the magic circle, the crystallization of energy particles of the dark system began to melt. First, it changed from a semi-solid to a liquid state, filling a strange symbol, and then a burst of red light lit up, and the liquid inside the symbol was vaporized into black smoke. Haunts around the basement.
The black smoke gathered together, and finally turned into seven very dim red-eyed little snakes, wrapping around Leylin's body.
The ice-cold, greasy little snake made of smoke seemed like a real snake, and it brought a strange touch to Leylin.
Leylin took a deep breath.
Hiss!
Two small snakes were directly sucked into his nose by him.
Leylin felt his body swell up a circle, as if he was drunk, feeling dizzy.
