After the light blue light flashed, a figure appeared in a remote corner of Venus City in the Starlight Kingdom.
This is a human being with an extremely ordinary appearance and clothing. He has a very low presence in the crowd. No one would have thought that this person actually came from the legendary "extremely evil" demon world.
The "travel expenses" for this trip to the surface world are free. One million faith crystals will not be discounted at all, and it will cost another one million to go back. However, unlike that time when the space seeds were induced to accidentally come to the surface world, this time it is
Come prepared, two million faith crystals have already been prepared.
I think back then, I took Shura everywhere to steal faith, race against time and even go deep into the lair of the Church of Light. I finally managed to collect one million and returned to the Demon Realm to rescue my aunt. Things are different now. Since magic games quickly became popular in the Demon Realm
Since then, the crystallization of faith in the super system has exploded at an acceleration that is far beyond expectations, which can be called terrifying. According to this growth rate, the sky-high price of tickets between the human world and the demon world will drop to the level of cabbage in a few years.
Chen Rui came to the human world this time for three main purposes. The first one is naturally the Origin Fragment. According to the last agreement with Delkus, the King of Light Elements, he will exchange the Origin Fragment of Light for the Source of Light and the Power of Wind.
Source power, as long as these two source powers are obtained, Laura's six elemental source powers will be complete. With the national-level dragon power essence gifted by Augustolas, the success rate of Laura's six-element kingdom will be greatly improved, and the danger will be greatly improved.
It will also reach its lowest point.
The second purpose is about Shura and the Black Death. Initially, 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 by mistake.
He joined the mysterious church and became the archdeacon of the Black Death. This mysterious church turned out to be a cult with abyssal creatures as its gods!
Abyssal creatures are the culprits that destroyed the ancient alchemical civilization and many civilizations. In addition to the illusion of trials, Chen Rui has personally experienced the power of abyssal creatures. From Satan's few words, it can be judged that the abyssal creatures should have been sealed somewhere. Over the years,
, trying to return to this world all the time. Once the abyssal creatures really succeed, it will be a terrifying disaster for both the demon world and the human world.
Twenty thousand years ago, the mysterious cult committed a massacre of living creatures in 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 due to unknown reasons.
The Church of Light is encircling and suppressing it. Unfortunately, the cult has not been completely eradicated, but has moved into the darkness. The Black Deaths are definitely still brewing new subversive plots. Just the kind of faith that continuously feeds into the abyss is a big trouble.
Therefore, Shura must return to the mysterious cult and try to destroy this terrible organization that threatens to destroy the entire world.
Although the mysterious church has not appeared on the bright side, its strength and scale are extraordinary. 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. He must enter the core step by step, and then only the secrets of the cult will be made public.
Everyone, the Church of Light will naturally make every effort to destroy this old enemy.
The third purpose is to improve alchemy. At this time, there are only more than four months left before next year's Alchemist Competition. In the Alchemist Competition, he will face the strongest enemy of teacher Tetnis, the potion.
And Saman, the double master of weapon making. In terms of potions, it is okay. You can use the potions in the super system to deal with it, but the weapon making technique can only be practiced with real swords and guns. Since the last return to the human world, despite the time rules of the training ground,
, but Chen Rui has never been able to break through the layer of window paper between master and master. He feels that the master is just a little bit behind. This time when he goes to the human world, he also wants to visit the two masters of weapon making in the Emerald Forest and seek a breakthrough.
opportunity.
From Blue Star City in the south of the Starlight Kingdom, you can reach the north of the Emerald Forest Sea through the ice sea. However, Chen Rui had plenty of time this time and did not set off immediately. Instead, he came to the largest magic store in Venus City, the "Golden Key."
"It turns out to be you! Welcome to patronize again. I wonder what you need this time? I guarantee that you will get the best offer." Last time Chen Rui purchased a large number of magic scrolls here, so the chubby shop owner Sisman said:
His current face left a deep impression on him. He personally welcomed him to the VIP room on the second floor, looking very enthusiastic.
"I need three things, French pattern paper, blue light grass and white scorpion vine seeds. The more quantity, the better!"
Scrollology, a branch of alchemy, has developed to a considerable degree in the surface world, and magic scrolls are also quite popular. Even ordinary people can use scrolls to perform magic. However, due to various reasons, Scrollology has declined in the demon world for many years. Magic Scrolls
It is a useless item in the demon world. It is rare and expensive but has little practical value and is rarely used in battles.
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 of elven weapon making. The information recorded in the books was very complete, as well as Fenoa's own experience and experience.
The annotations are extremely precious. Chen Rui copied these two books and gave them to his teacher Tetnis and Feng Saka, the president of the Fallen Angel Artifact Maker Alliance. He also established a scroll science research department and organized specialized personnel to examine the scrolls.
Conducting research is also one of Chen Rui's strategic weapons.
With complete theoretical support and ready-made scrolls, the research has made gratifying progress. However, there is a problem that cannot be solved yet when relying on locally produced scrolls in the Demon World, and that is materials. The material used to make the initial base surface of the scroll is called the pattern.
Paper, this kind of paper has very good magic storage properties. The main materials are blue light grass and scorpion vine. These two plants are light plants. They are not rare in the ground world, but they are almost extinct in the devil world with strong dark elements.
Can't find a replacement at the moment.
Therefore, Chen Rui wants to purchase a large amount of patterned paper and two kinds of plants and seeds this time. He can find alternatives through experiments, or use "magic soil" to cultivate them in batches (although Star Garden can be planted, the quantity is limited after all).
"We still have about three hundred pieces of French pattern paper in stock, but due to special reasons, the price is relatively high. We also have some scorpion vines and seeds, but the blue light grass... is currently out of stock." Sisman said with a smile: "
Not to mention golden keys, even the entire surface world is now a commodity in short supply, because not long ago, the Church of Light... Haha. You should know that during that time, the Church of Light almost blocked the nearby kingdoms, and finally
And they all evacuated.”
Chen Rui was stunned. This was the church's big move to encircle and suppress him. It was later canceled due to the death of Isyolur, but what does this have to do with Blue Light Grass?
"I know about that incident. After I bought the magic scroll from you, I started to practice behind closed doors, and it was completed some time ago. What happened next?"
"So that's it!" Sisman said with a look of surprise: "You don't know something. Since then, the church has begun to purchase 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 pattern paper are very high.
It has increased several times. 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 mature and applied. Before that, the price of magic scrolls was very difficult.
Fall back.”
"That's it..." Chen Rui vaguely guessed that the church's large-scale acquisition of blue light grass should be related to the disappearance of the Snowdale tree. It was probably a need for replacement or remedy. However, in this case, his scroll plan was likely to be shelved.
.
Chen Rui thought for a while and asked: "My family has been in business for many years. People in the know don't tell secrets. Just because the market is tight doesn't mean there won't be any. Otherwise, the magic scrolls would have been out of stock long ago. I know you must all be stocking up. I think
Sell it for a price, so be it. I'll exchange it for the Dark Soul Grass."
Dark Soul Grass is a very rare magic plant with relatively pure dark power. It is an essential material for making tools and advanced potions. Of course, this "rare" is for the ground world. In the demon world, Dark Soul Grass
Grass is more common than blue light grass or scorpion vine.
Chen Rui was experimenting with potions some time ago. There are many related materials in the storage warehouse, and Dark Soul Grass is one of them. In fact, there are many similar price difference items. If it is just for money, you can become a "plane merchant", but
This is obviously not his intention.
"Dark Soul Grass?"
Sisman's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a dark purple plant in Chen Rui's hand. Sisman took it and looked at it carefully: "It is indeed the Dark Soul Grass, and the quality is quite high. Let's see.
One Dark Soul Grass is exchanged for twenty Blue Light Grass, and I will replenish thirty more 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 come back next year when the price drops, and I will give you a discount based on the current price.”
What Sisman said was very beautiful, but if the other party didn't need it urgently, why would he offer Dark Soul Grass in exchange?
Chen Rui naturally understood this and did not reveal it. In fact, Dark Soul Grass was much cheaper to him than Blue Light Grass. He immediately nodded: "Okay, let's exchange for a thousand plants first."
"A thousand plants!" Sisman was startled. He originally thought that the other party only had a few dozen plants, but he didn't expect the amount to be so huge. This requires 20,000 blue light grass plants and 30,000 seeds. With the current market, let alone him.
This store doesn't have that much inventory. Even the magic stores in the entire Venus City don't stock more than 10,000 plants in total.
"If not, I'll go somewhere else."
"Please wait a minute!" Sisman's mind began to spin rapidly. This was a big and profitable business. He could earn at least five times more. He couldn't just watch it fly away.
Just because he can't take this big order doesn't mean that others can't either.
"Let's do this," Sisman finally made a decision, "I will introduce you to a person who happens to be in need of Dark Soul Grass, and he should have enough blue light grass on hand, but there is one condition, that is, you must first contact the Golden One.
In exchange for 200 Dark Soul Grasses, I will deliver 4,000 Blue Light Grasses and 6,000 seeds. What do you think?"
"No problem, we can trade now, including the French Pattern Paper and the 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 you!" Sisman's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he immediately arranged for the clerk to do the counting, "Sir, please rest assured, that person is a disciple of Master Matthews of the Alchemy Department of Starlight Academy. The apothecary fee is
Here, he is a very enthusiastic and easy-to-talk young man, and communication is absolutely no problem. He has been shopping for Dark Soul Grass these days, and he should still be in the city now. The Alchemy Department of Starlight Academy should have a large inventory of Blue Light Grass.
I will send someone to find Fitz now."
Not long after, Fitz appeared in the VIP room. He was a young man with short black hair. He was a little out of breath. He obviously arrived in a hurry. As soon as he met him, he asked: "Your Excellency, do you really have a large amount of Dark Soul Grass?"
?”
"Are you Mr. Fitz? My name is Simon. I wonder how much Dark Soul Grass you need?"
"I want as much as you have!"
"How about a thousand plants?" Chen Rui asked tentatively.
"Do you really have a thousand plants?" After getting the affirmative answer, Fitz said happily: "Great! I will give you the highest purchase price!"
Chen Rui shook his head: "I'm sorry, I only accept exchange. I need blue light grass and its seeds."
"Blue light grass?" Fitz thought for a while, "Okay! One hundred plants plus one hundred seeds to exchange for one plant, what do you think?
"Of course, the price is very fair." Chen Rui looked at Sisman beside him. The fat shopkeeper laughed sarcastically and pretended not to hear.
"By the way, do you have any dried mandala leaves? You only need twenty grams."
Datura flower? Chen Rui suddenly thought of a certain yard with the fragrance of tea. He felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "If you are making a white potion, then... fresh Datura leaves should be able to achieve better results."
Fitz looked at the dark blue leaf that appeared in the opponent's hand, and his eyes widened: "This... is really a mandala leaf! Great! The task assigned by the teacher can be completed! Sir Simon, due to the exchange
The amount is relatively large. If it is convenient for you, please come to the academy with me."
Chen Rui thought for a moment 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 study at the academy. Its popularity and teaching quality
It's obvious.
The two set off in the carriage. About four hours later, the carriage stopped.
"Sir Simon, since the Academy's Tower of Stars is about to open in the near future, the inspection will be strict when entering the Academy. Please don't mind."
Tower of Stars? Chen Rui's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered that the princess had mentioned this term when she was trying to win him over in the Emerald Forest Sea. It is said to be an excellent place for practice, even for saint-level experts.
.
I don’t know if I will have the opportunity to see the Tower of Stars this time, or if I will see those “acquaintances” from that day again?
"Sir Simon?" the enthusiastic pharmacist reminded, interrupting Chen Rui's train of thought.
