Chapter 61 Dragon Blood Leaf Powder

Benny was stunned for a moment. “Sir, you are well-informed.”

“That batch of goods just arrived yesterday.”

His eyes fell on the platinum member badge of Li Jin Secret Language worn on Locke’s chest. “Yes, those catwoman slaves are sold for about 50 magic stones each.”

“After all, there are ancient bloodlines. I’ve heard that many wizards are interested in ancient bloodlines. This is a hot research topic…”

“If it weren’t for the fact that they are all mortals, their blood would be too thin and difficult to extract purely, and the price would be several times higher.”

Benny whispered, “Maybe even the official wizards will be interested in this.”

Locke thought about it. He had obtained 900 magic stones from Li Jin Secret Language and just spent 30 magic stones. He had never been so rich before.

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

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

It would be nice to spend a hundred magic stones now and buy two cat princesses to take back.

The blood of ancient creatures is indeed difficult to extract, but if combined with one’s own synthetic magic cube, there may be some hope.

The three-eyed tiger-eyed cat is an extremely powerful ancient creature. In ancient times, it was called a divine beast by some mortals. If you can extract the blood of a three-eyed tiger-eyed cat of sufficient purity, you will definitely make a fortune.

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

In the wizarding world, it’s not the same, where a huge empire falls every year.

Locke said to Benny, the dark elf waiter, “Here are 100 magic stones. Let’s sign the contract. I need two cat princesses.”

A look of surprise appeared on Benny’s face.

Locke reminded him: “The premise is that they really have the rare bloodline of the three-eyed tiger-eyed cat in their bodies.”

Benny said, “It’s genuine.”

“Dear guest, please follow me.”

There was a reason why Benny was so happy.

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

So in reality, wizards’ enthusiasm for this product is polarized.

Those who need it are of course very interested, while those who don’t need it are very indifferent.

Locke has tasted the benefits of the bloodline of ancient creatures, so he is so active. If it were another wizard, he might not be so enthusiastic.

Instead, they would think that it would be impossible for a mortal slave to cost 50 magic stones no matter what.

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

Locke followed Benny into the shop and into the next room, which was a semi-enclosed single room separated by a screen wall and curtains.

The floor was cleaner and tidier, and was furnished with some simple furniture.

It was obvious that it was used to hold valuable slaves.

Benny, speaking to Locke, said, “Dear guest, you may choose any two cat princesses here.”

Locke took a quick look and saw seven iron cages, each containing a catwoman.

Unlike the slaves outside who were not wearing much clothes, the catwoman slaves here were all wearing gorgeous long dresses, midnight blue long dresses with trains and gradient silver hems.

They all wore silver collars inlaid with rubies around their necks and small silver princess crowns on their heads.

These cat ladies have furry white cat ears and a white cat tail with light orange stripes on it, which is proof that they have the blood of ancient creatures.

These catwomen have the wildness of animals and the elegance of young girls. At this moment, they all look at Locke with fear and tension.

Locke looked at their tails. In the dark elf Sassari’s course on everything, it was mentioned how to identify slaves with the blood of ancient creatures in order to prevent malicious deception by unscrupulous merchants.

After Locke confirmed that everything was basically fine, he pointed at the two twin cat princesses with dissatisfaction and said, “Have them take off their dresses. I need to make sure their bodies are intact.”

Benny quickly instructed the two catwomen to do as he was told. He then smiled at Locke and said, “Dear guests, the slaves in our shop will absolutely not have any quality issues. We have them fully clothed simply because we want to show our guests their identities and ensure they truly possess the bloodline of ancient creatures.”

“Please rest assured.”

After confirming that there were no problems, Locke signed a contract with Benny, crushed the rune stone, and let the two catwomen recognize him as their master.

Locke walked on the street with two gray dwarves, six minotaurs, and two shy catwomen, and it didn’t look too out of place.

Generally, second-class wizard apprentices would bring some slaves with them when they went out, not to mention a breeder’s assistant like Locke, who had the same social status as a first-class wizard apprentice.

After leaving the slave warehouse, Locke entered an alchemy workshop and paid one hundred magic stones and a crazy rhinoceros skin, asking the alchemy workshop to make a standard medium-quality magic item [Crazy Rhinoceros Leather Armor] for him.

Wearing this leather armor can improve your defense capabilities.

Locke agreed to come to the store to pick up the goods two weeks later.

Their transactions are guaranteed by contracts and certified by Lilith Hut, so it is generally impossible for merchants to breach the contract.

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

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

Therefore, it is impossible to abandon the store and escape in breach of contract just for a mere medium-quality magic item.

Locke also bought some magical resources at some stalls in the Chimera Market, such as an item that can increase the efficiency of meditation – dragon blood leaf powder. This thing, when mixed with badminton wood powder, can increase the efficiency of meditation by 50%.

It’s just that the price is expensive. Locke couldn’t afford it before and had to bear it. Now he bought it directly together with the sawdust.

He bought a month’s supply of badam sawdust for 150 magic stones, and a month’s supply of dragon’s blood leaf powder for 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 almond powder, the efficiency of meditation was extremely low.

Therefore, Locke’s mental power improved very limitedly 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 strength by about 4 points in three months, but because of the rose-red gem, he gained an additional 5 points of mental strength.

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

For a wizard apprentice to engage in complete meditation, it would cost at least 150 magic stones per month, which is not something that everyone can afford.
