Chapter 236: Market
West of the Dark Forest, Old Forest, Magic Tree Airport.
Magic Tree Airport was a small airport on the west side of the Dark Forest. The airships that traveled to and from the Dark Forest would dock and resupply here.
“Wizard, are you sure you want to get off here? This place is far from your destination.”
“It’s okay, Knight Waruth. Just put me down here. Some of the materials I need grow here. I’ll go and collect them.”
“Then… Okay, but you have to be careful. This is the Dark Forest.”
“Got it.”
When the airship passed by the Magic Tree Airport, Heath got off the ship ahead of time.
His soul mutation had already reached the standard of advancing to an intermediate Wizard. Now, as long as his spiritual power reached the standard, he could make a breakthrough to an intermediate Wizard. Some of the things he needed to prepare should also be put on the agenda.
Although advancing to an intermediate Wizard was not as difficult as advancing to a Wizard from an Apprentice, it still required some potions to assist.
One of the most commonly used potions was called ‘Sublimation Water’.
The most important thing for a beginner Wizard to advance to an intermediate Wizard was the sublimation of the soul. The function of this potion was to promote the sublimation of the Wizard’s soul, thus greatly increasing the success rate of a Wizard’s advancement.
In this generation of the Old Forest, there were many materials for the preparation of Sublimation Water, so Heath decided to stay here for a short while and collect some.
“There are the freshest eyeballs in the entire West Coast. Do you want eyeballs?”
“The tail of a rat! The tail of a gray rat!”
“Come and have a look. The newly-arrived Banshee has been tamed. She can do anything for you.”
The structure of the Magic Tree Airport was similar to most airports in the Dark Forest. The entire airport was built on a huge world tree. There were docks, streets, and houses.
After getting down from the airport, there was a Wizard market.
The structure was similar to the Mist Market that Heath had been to. It was also a street with tree trunks. There were tree houses and street stalls on both sides.
“Dragon Scale Flower, a mature Dragon Scale Flower!” At this moment, a hawker attracted his attention.
He swept his gaze and soon arrived in front of the stall.
There was a carriage-like carriage parked on the stall. The large carriage shed was open, and there were all kinds of strange goods inside.
A large glass container was filled with round eyeballs. On the nails on the door of the carriage hung the tail of a gray mouse that had been sunburned. Beside it was a naked girl. The red eyes indicated the identity of the girl, the Forest Banshee.
The owner of the shop was an old Witch with messy hair, when Heath came over, she immediately greeted him warmly. “What do you want? Young Wizard, the Forest Banshee that I just got is a very outstanding magical pet. How is it?”
Heath said, “Let me take a look first.”
There was a short wooden table on the floor of the carriage. On the table were all kinds of strange plants, flowers, and so on.
Heath’s gaze swept over it, and finally fell on a flower with a strange shape.
It was a flower with six petals. The petals had strange patterns on them, and they looked like the scales of some kind of creature. There was a mouth on the stamen of the flower, and its sharp teeth looked very fierce.
The flower seemed to be alive, and when Heath looked at it, it seemed to have sensed something. The mouth on the stamen suddenly opened, and it let out a muffled dragon’s roar.
Dragon Scale Flower.
As its name suggested, this was a flower that looked like a giant Dragon’s scale. It was said to be a wonderful species born from the corpses of the ancient Dragons. It had a trace of the life energy of the ancient Dragons.
Among the Nine Great Races, the giant Dragons had the highest level of life energy. It was one of the most suitable materials to make the Sublimation Water.
Heath asked, “How much is this Dragon Scale Flower?”
The old Witch raised two fingers and announced a price from her mouth, “20 Magic Stones, high-grade Magic Stones.”
This price was not considered expensive. It could even be considered a bargain. One had to know that the market price of the Dragon Scale Flower was usually 300,000 Magic Stones, which was 30 high-grade Magic Stones.
Heath nodded. “I’ll take this Dragon Scale Flower. In addition, I need to pick out some other materials.”
As he spoke, he picked out more than a dozen materials in succession. They were all needed to concoct the Sublimation Water. However, other than the Dragon Scale Flower, the rest of the materials were not considered expensive.
“Add these up and calculate.”
After looking at Heath’s materials, the old Witch’s eyes lit up, her attitude immediately became respectful. “Rootless Fruit… Nightcry Flower… Flaming Bird Feathers… Ah, it’s my honor to be able to serve you, my Lord. These can be counted as 28 high-tier Magic Stones for you, my Lord.”
The formula for the Sublimation Water was all public. Looking at these materials, the old Witch could also guess Heath’s usage of them.
Heath nodded. “Sure.”
As he paid, he silently guessed in his heart. This Dragon Scale Flower looked fresh and obviously had just been plucked. If that was the case, there should be something that could be extracted, right?
With such a guess in mind, he silently chanted in his heart, ‘Extract.’
[Beep, extraction successful. Vitality increased.]
[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.1]
[Beep, extraction successful…]
As expected!
After hearing the system’s notification, Heath was delighted. He then used extraction on the other seemingly fresh materials. As expected, he had more or less obtained some attributes.
The successive successes made Heath’s heart skip a beat. He directly opened the system’s remote extraction function.
Immediately.
[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual power increased.]
[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual power increased.]
[Beep, extraction successful. Agility increased…]
[Beep, extraction successful. Obtained…]
…
Immediately, a series of densely packed system notifications rang out. All the materials that could be extracted from this stall and the surrounding stalls were scanned and extracted by Heath.
“Haha! So many attributes!”
In the past, he had come to the market to wander around and try to extract attributes from other people’s materials. However, the system at that time could only extract attributes through contact. It had to be manually filtered one by one, and its efficiency was low. It was also easy to arouse suspicion, so Heath usually did not dare to extract too many attributes.
Now that the system had upgraded, it was much more convenient. There was no need to contact it. He only needed to give an order, and the surrounding materials were all filtered by the system. All the materials that could be extracted were automatically extracted, it was simply undetectable.
‘In the future, I can go to the market more often.’
Heath silently decided in his heart.
“Heath!” At this moment, a call suddenly came from the depths of his soul. It was Nina, who was in the ring.
Because Heath had left his own spiritual imprint in the ring, Nina, as the ring’s tool spirit, was naturally able to communicate with him through this spiritual imprint.
However, in order to reduce the consumption of the soul, Nina was usually in a dormant state. Now that she had suddenly taken the initiative to contact Heath, there must be something going on.
Heath could not help but ask, “What’s wrong, Nina?”
