the next day
Early in the morning, Xiao Yan found a nearby medicinal ingredient shop and spent over nine hundred gold coins before buying three twenty-year-old Purple Leaf Orchid Grass and two five-year-old Bone Washing Flowers. These were all low grade ingredients. As long as he spent some money, he could buy them back from the medicinal ingredient shop. Of course, if he wanted higher grade ingredients, he could only search for them himself or go to a market or auction house. An ordinary medicinal shop would not sell high grade ingredients.
Looking at the rapidly shrinking wealth in his hands, Xiao Yan, who had never had any concept of money, finally understood how important money was in the Dou Qi continent.
He had already obtained the medicinal ingredients. The only thing he lacked was a Grade 1 Wood Element Demon Core!
Monster Cores were also known as Monster Crystals on the Dou Qi continent, as well as the embryonic form of a Spirit Pill. As the name suggested, this was a type of energy crystal core within the body of a Magical Beast. It was filled with extremely wild and violent natural energy. Even a Dou Wang would not dare to take the risk of exploding his body by forcefully inhaling this kind of wild and violent energy.
However, although the Demon Core could not be directly absorbed by humans, it was an indispensable main material for alchemists to refine medicine. After being refined by alchemists using secret methods, the Demon Core would be neutralized by some magical medicinal herbs, turning into various spirit medicines that countless people coveted to increase their strength. Their value immediately soared!
Moreover, magic nuclei could also be added to weapons. Weapons that were added with magic nuclei would not only have greater destructive power, but also have the attractive effect of increasing Dou Qi. They were highly sought after by Dou Zhe in the Dou Qi continent.
Of course, other than weapons, magic nuclei could also be added to armor and other items, giving the owner a strong defense. When facing danger, it would give the owner a greater guarantee of life.
With so many special effects, Monster Cores naturally became the most popular mainstream material on the Dou Qi continent. Not only Dou Zhe, but even those noble alchemists would often bend over to search for high grade Monster Cores in order to refine higher grade medicinal pills.
Driven by this trend, the supply of Monster Cores on the continent was always in short supply. As long as a high-grade Monster Core appeared in an auction or other places, it would immediately be bought at a high price.
The exorbitant price of magic nuclei naturally created a large number of mercenary groups that specialized in hunting magic beasts for a living. However, obtaining magic nuclei was not an easy task.
First of all, not only were Magical Beasts powerful, they were also extremely cunning. Due to their vicious nature and special attack methods, Magical Beasts were often stronger than human experts of the same level. Therefore, if one wanted to kill a Magical Beast of the same level alone, it was easy to steal a chicken and lose rice without extraordinary strength.
Secondly, not all Magical Beasts had energy crystals like Magic Cores in their bodies. This seemed to be a random probability. Sometimes, when a mercenary group killed a Magical Beast at the cost of half of their members, they might end up empty-handed. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the Dou Qi continent and was not considered rare…
Hence, the value of Monster Cores on the Dou Qi continent had always been at the top, and they were extremely sought after.
After walking past a few stalls, Xiao Yan's footsteps finally came to a halt. He gently swept his gaze across a small stall that had a green crystal that was still stained with some blood and said,"I've finally found it."”
Hmm? What was that?
There was a piece of cloth with a strange pattern on it that looked like a child's doodles. However, Xiao Yan felt that something was amiss. Recalling the Spiritual Perception that Yao Lao had explained to her last night, he probed a thread of Mental Energy into it. In an instant, that thread of Mental Energy disappeared without a trace."Hei, Little Yan Zi, buy that black metal piece. It's a good thing…"
Although it appeared that a long time had passed, from the perspective of an outsider, Xiao Yan had merely paused for a moment on a piece of cloth before immediately shifting his gaze away. It was as if he had been startled by the pattern that the child had drawn.
Xiao Yan squatted down toward the peddler. After which, he pointed at the Monster Core and asked,"What is this? How much?"
The peddler was wearing a white cloak, and the edges of the cloak were outlined with mysterious patterns. The cloak covered his entire body, making it impossible to tell the peddler's gender and appearance.
The peddler glanced at her expressionlessly and said,""450 gold coins, plus the 480 gold coins you just took a look at. No bargaining, no buying, no leaving. "Don't think about playing tricks, your ring," he said indifferently. He swept a meaningful glance at Xiao Yan. At this moment, a large wind suddenly blew over. The strange thing was that when the wind blew over this stall, it was as though a piece of cloth had been torn apart by a sharp blade and completely bypassed it.
An expert! Xiao Yan judged in his heart. He summoned his newly awakened ability to identify, only to discover that
"Beep! The detected target's strength cannot be detected beyond the host's detection range, cultivation technique cannot be detected, gender cannot be detected:
[Target: Feather]
[Genre: Undetectable]
[Class: Dou Sheng and above]
[Cultivation Technique: Heaven Rank Low Level and Above]
Xiao Yan was startled. There was actually a Dou Sheng class expert in Wu Tan City. What was going on?
