Chapter 61 Dragon Blood Leaf Powder

Benny was stunned for a moment. "Guest, your information... is quite good."

 "That batch of goods just arrived yesterday."

 His eyes fell on the platinum membership badge of Lijin Secret Words worn on Locke's chest, "Yes, those catwoman slaves are sold for about 50 magic stones each."

 "After all, there is ancient blood. I heard that many wizards are interested in ancient bloodlines. This is a popular research direction..."

 "If it weren't for the fact that they are all mortals, the blood in their bodies is too thin and difficult to extract and pure, and the price would be several times higher."

 Benny whispered: "Even official wizards may be interested in this."

Locke thought for a while. He got 900 magic stones from Li Jin's Secret Language and just spent 30 magic stones. He has never been so rich.

 Magic stones are no longer the scarcest resource for the future self, but these Catwoman slaves with the blood of ancient creatures are priceless and hard to come by.

  This time, if I miss it, I won’t be able to buy it even if I have magic stones next time.

 Now it would be good to spend one hundred magic stones to buy two cat queens back.

  It is indeed difficult to extract the blood of ancient creatures, but if you combine it with your own synthetic Rubik's Cube, you may be able to see some changes.

The three-eyed tiger-eyed cat is a particularly powerful ancient creature. In ancient times, it was called a mythical beast by some mortals. If you can extract the blood of a three-eyed tiger-eyed cat with enough purity, you will definitely make a lot of money.

 Even if I can't do it in a short time, it can be used as a research direction. It would be a pity to miss this purchase opportunity.

  In the wizarding world, it is not the case that a huge empire falls every year.

 Locke said to the dark elf waiter Benny, "This is a hundred magic stones. Sign the contract. I need two cat queens."

 Benny had a look of surprise on his face.

 Locke reminded him: "The premise is that they really have the thin blood of a three-eyed tiger-eyed cat in their body."

 Benny said: "It's true."

  "Dear guest, please come with me."

  There is a reason why Benny is so happy.

 Although slaves with the blood of ancient creatures are relatively rare, in fact, because it is very difficult to extract the blood of ancient creatures, it is even more difficult to use the blood of ancient creatures after extraction.

 So in fact, wizards' enthusiasm for this kind of goods is polarized.

  Those who are needed are, of course, very interested, while those who are not needed are very indifferent.

 Locke has tasted the benefits of the blood of ancient creatures, so he is so active. But it may not be the same for another wizard.

  On the contrary, they will feel that it is impossible for a mortal slave to reach 50 magic stones each.

 This is not the smuggling slave trade of dark wizards. You can use magic stones to buy wizard apprentice slaves.

 Locke followed Benny to the next room in the shop. This room is semi-closed with a screen wall and curtains to create a single room.

 The ground is cleaner and tidier, with some simple furniture arranged.

 At first glance, it looks like it is used to imprison those valuable slaves.

 Benny said to Locke: "Dear guest, you can choose any two cat queens here."

 Locke glanced at it and saw that there were seven iron cages here, and each cage held a cat lady.

  Different from the slaves outside who don't wear much clothing, the Catwoman slaves here are all wearing gorgeous dress skirts, midnight blue tail skirts, and the skirts are gradient silver.

  They all wore silver necklaces inlaid with rubies around their necks, and a small silver princess crown on their heads.

 These catwomen have the furry ears of white cats, and one has a white cat tail with faint orange stripes on the tail, which is proof that they have the blood of ancient creatures.

 These catwomen have the wildness of animals and the elegance of girls. At this moment, they all look at Locke with fear and nervousness in their eyes.

 Locke looked at their tails. In the Dark Elf Sassari's All Things Course, he mentioned how to identify slaves with the blood of ancient creatures to prevent malicious deception by unscrupulous merchants.

After Locke confirmed that there was basically no problem, he pointed at the two twin cat queens dissatisfied and said, "Let them take off their dresses. I need to confirm that their bodies are intact."

 Benny quickly asked the two catwomen to do as they were told, and said with a smile to Locke: "Dear customers, the slaves in our shop will never have quality problems. The reason why they are fully dressed is just because they want to show their identities to the guests and make them sure. Make sure they really have the blood of ancient creatures."

 "Please rest assured."

 After confirming that there was no problem, Locke signed a contract with Benny, crushed the rune stone, and asked the two catwomen to claim their mastership.

 Locke was walking on the street with two gray dwarves, six tauren, and two shy and blushing catwomen, which was not too out of the ordinary.

 Generally, a second-class wizard apprentice will bring some slaves with him when he goes out, not to mention a breeder's assistant like Locke, who has the same social status as a first-class wizard apprentice.

 After leaving the slave warehouse, Locke entered an alchemy workshop and paid a hundred magic stones and a piece of mad rhinoceros skin, asking the alchemy workshop to make a standard medium-quality magic item [mad rhinoceros leather armor] for him.

  Wearing this leather armor on yourself can improve your defense capabilities.

 Loke agreed to come to this store to pick up the goods in two weeks.

  Their transactions are guaranteed by the contract and certified by Lilith House. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the merchant to breach the contract.

 The shops in the Chimera Market are of high value, and it takes tens of thousands of magic stones to rent a shop.

 Merchants often sign a loan agreement for a specific purpose of the magic stone (similar to a student loan) before they can rent it.

 Hence, it is impossible to give up the store and break the contract to escape just for a mediocre magic item.

 Locke purchased some magic resources from some stalls in the Chimera Market, such as an item that can increase the efficiency of meditation - Dragon Blood Leaf Powder. Mixing this stuff with Badanxi wood powder can increase the efficiency of meditation by 50%.

 It's just that it's expensive. Locke couldn't afford it before, so he had to endure it. Now he bought it directly with the Brazilian sawdust.

  He purchased a month's supply of banana sawdust, which cost 150 magic stones, and a month's supply of dragon's blood leaf powder, which cost 200 magic stones.

  Before, he always lacked magic stones, so within three months of learning the basic meditation method, he was always unable to meditate with almond powder every day. Without the use of almond powder, the meditation efficiency would be extremely low.

 Hence, Locke's mental strength has improved very little in these three months, only increasing from 76 to 85.

 The improvement speed is only half of normal meditation.

 Normally, his frugal meditation could only increase his mental power by 4 points in three months, but because of the rose-red jade, it was able to increase his mental power by an additional 5 points.

 This is also the resource dilemma faced by many second-class wizard apprentices.

 For a wizard apprentice to meditate completely, it will cost at least one hundred and fifty magic stones per month, which not everyone can afford.
