Chapter 62: Mystic Earth Fruit (2)

Nighttime,

After successfully striking a deal in the Yellow Town's chamber of commerce, Mu Suyin takes Myah back to Black Cat Inn.

...

The healing balm, with its incredible effect of quickly mending minor to moderate flesh wounds upon application onto the affected area, the selling price was 60 low-grade Spirit Stones a jar.

With its effect compared to some of the top Rank 1 healing items on the market, the price of 60 low-grade Spirit Stones wasn't too bad.

At this place, such a price was acceptable.

For cultivators, anything that could save lives and quickly heal one's wound was essential—especially for those who become an Adventurer and often found themself in dreadful situations.

Naturally, the healing palm will be top-rated if a large amount were to flood into the market.

And most importantly, her healing balms have the remarkable effect of removing old scars.

It would undoubtedly be popular among women in particular!

This reason was also why it was able to fetch such a high price as consumable goods.

If Mu Suyin were to deduct the cost of materials for each set which is roughly ten low-grade Spirit Stones, once she makes them in large amounts, it's estimated each set would produce at least three to five healing balm jars.

The return profit was incredibly high!

However, as her goal wasn't to open a business, Mu Suyin only planned to get enough resources for Myah to cultivate at the moment.

'The previous event at the Adventure Association this morning has already drawn too much attention.' Mu Suyin contemplated and frowned.

If she has not released her aura and intimidated the bunch of greedy wolves, perhaps, they would have made their move the moment she left the association.

'With my current condition... it's wiser not to exert myself...'

Who would have thought Myah would be so lucky? Even now, she still feels surprised.

'Whatever, it already happened anyway. I should get started.'

While sitting on a stool at the barn behind the inn, Mu Suyin gradually lights up the fire in the four clay stoves.

On the way back, she has bought exactly four sets of ingredients to make healing balms.

'For now, this much is enough.' Looking at the burning firewood, she heaved a sigh and lamented, 'With my subpar skill in the way of Alchemy, I wonder how much healing palm I can make this time...It certainly is one of the best ways to make money, no doubt.'

Casually, she placed four empty cooking pots onto the stoves.

The first step was to throw in the sets of ingredients respectively.

The second step was adding some spices into the mix and a good amount of water.

The last but essential step was to wait for the pots' content bubbles and reduce them until they become healing balms.

If everything goes well, this batch will sell for over 1000 low-grade Spirit Stones.

1000 low-grade Spirit Stones...

For the current them, it wasn't a tiny amount. That much would at least cover Myah's needs of resources until next year.

"Ahem!" Coughing a little, Mu Suyin quickly shifts her attention away from the four pots of Spirit Stones to be.

In deep thought, she took out the Thousand Year Old <Mystic Earth Fruit> and scrutinized it for a while.

"Now, what should I do with you..."

This Rank 3 <Mystic Earth Fruit> was precious, and she was in a heartfelt dilemma. With all things considered, it was even rarer than a few Rank 4 natural treasures out there.

As expected of the Adventure Association, it was generous of them. The top prizes from the Chromatic Machine couldn't be underestimated.

Except for forming a Sacred Life Contract with a Spirit Beast, anything that could bestow an elemental affinity wasn't so easy to obtain.

However, Mu Suyin wasn't sure of what to do.

If her skill in Alchemy were any better, she could make it into a special potion or pill, which would amplify the fruit's effect significantly. But the reality was that she is not proficient enough to do it.

Besides, she didn't even have any formula related to the <Mystic Earth Fruit>, to begin with.

In the Green-Wood Divine Continent,

The general classification of Alchemists is broken into nine ranks, from 1 to 9, where Rank 1 is the lowest and Rank 9 is the highest.

As for the Rank 3 <Mystic Earth Fruit>, only a Rank 4 Alchemist would have the skill and is qualified to refine it.

Well, this standard only applied in typical circumstances anyway.

Considering that the Mobius Kingdom was just a Third-tier power, Mu Suyin doubted that it would have any Rank 4 Alchemist skilled enough to utilize it.

On the other hand, she knows that her skill in Alchemy was only equivalent to a Rank 2 Alchemist at best since she has devoted most of her time pursuing the way of the spear.

In the end, a person's time and energy were limited.

"Although this is not the best way to utilize this <Mystic Earth Fruit>. But using it as it was is more reliable than letting an unskilled alchemist handle it. Who knows what would happen..."

Making up her mind, Mu Suyin retrieved a glass-like vial from her blue robe. Carefully, she begins to extract the essence from the <Mystic Earth Fruit> drop by drop.

Inside one of the rented rooms of the inn, Myah neatly sat in a lotus position on the bed.

While cultivating, his hand is holding a low-grade Spirit Stone.

A stream of spiritual energy was steadily flowing inside his body. To constantly absorb and refine, Myah has sustained this process for over three hours.

'This pace, it's too slow ah...' Although times passed by swiftly when he was cultivating, Myah couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration in his heart.

It's been days, almost a month since he had broken through to One-star of Warrior Realm.

After all this time, he didn't make much progress in cultivation except successfully comprehending all the moves of the <Foundation Spear Arts> to the beginner level.

At this rate, it would take him a few months to condense the second white star, and the next one would only take even longer!

'Who knows how long I will be able to find mother? Ten years? Fifty? or..., tsk!' Myah's childish face scowled as he thought unhappily. 'Grandma say that this couldn't be rushed, only diligent will I see results...but I'm still angry— arrggh! That bad guy, I will definitely teach him a lesson!'

Feeling helpless, the little guy dully floated in his sea of consciousness and studied the 'status' inside his mind.

"Mmmmrrrrr..."

"Maybe I should focus more on practicing my spear skill rather than cultivating? Grandma said my Spear Soul would be super powerful later, after all..." Struggling internally to make a decision, Myah summoned Caramel from the Moon Shrine Bracelet.

He hugged it and started rolling back and forth on the bed.

"I wonder when she will be back..."

Growl~!

Myah took a deep breath and sniffed hard.

Smelling the food on the table, he wiped his drool, got off the bed, and began to eat by himself.

Spirit Beasts' meat, these were all good stuff.

Creak!
