After the light blue light flashed, a figure appeared in a remote corner of the Starlight Kingdom's Gold Star City.
This was a human with an extremely ordinary appearance and clothes. He had an ordinary face with a very low sense of presence in the crowd. No one would have thought that this person actually came from the legendary "ferocious" Demon Realm.
The "travel fee" for this trip to the human world was not expensive. It was 1 million faith crystals without any discount. He still had to pay 1 million back. However, unlike the time when he accidentally came to the human world by triggering the space seed, he came prepared this time. 2 million faith crystals had already been prepared.
In the beginning, he took Shura to steal faith everywhere, raced against time, and even went deep into the Church of Light's lair. Finally, he barely managed to gather 1 million and returned to the Demon Realm to rescue his aunt. Since the magic game quickly became popular throughout the Demon Realm, the faith crystals in the Super System had skyrocketed at a rate far beyond expectations. It was terrifying. According to this growth rate, the sky-high ticket prices to the human realm and the Demon Realm would fall to the level of cabbages in a few years.
Chen Rui came to the human world for 3 main purposes this time. The first was naturally the Source Fragment. According to the agreement with Light Elemental King Delcus last time, he would exchange the Source Fragment of Light for the Source Power of Light and the Source Power of Wind. As long as he got these 2 source powers, Rolla's 6 elements source powers would be complete. Coupled with the country-level Dragon Power Essence given by Ogulas, the success rate of Rolla's 6 Elemental Kingdom would be greatly improved, and the danger would be minimized.
The second purpose was about Shura and the Black Death Apostles. In the beginning, Chen Rui left Shura in the human world. In addition to stealing faith power, he also had the purpose of eliminating the scum of the Church of Light. However, Shura accidentally joined the mysterious church and became the chief executive of the Black Death Apostles. This mysterious church turned out to be a cult that worshipped the abyssal creatures as gods!
The abyssal creatures were the culprits that destroyed the ancient alchemy civilization and many civilizations. In addition to the trial's illusion, Chen Rui had personally experienced the power of the abyssal creatures. From Satan's words, he could judge that the abyssal creatures should be sealed somewhere. Over the years, they had been trying to return to this world all the time. Once the abyssal creatures really succeeded, it would be a terrifying catastrophe for both the Demon World and the human world.
Twenty thousand years ago, a mysterious cult had massacred ten cities and sacrificed them to the 'gods'. Such a brazen act must have been some kind of ritual to summon the abyss. Fortunately, it failed for some unknown reason and was besieged by the Church of Light. It was a pity that the evil cult had not been completely eradicated, and had instead moved into the shadows. The Black Death Apostles must still be planning a new subversive plot. Just the continuous supply of faith to the abyss was a big problem. Therefore, Shura must return to the mysterious cult and try to destroy this terrifying organization that had the danger of destroying the entire world.
Although the mysterious church did not appear on the surface, its strength and scale were not trivial. Shura's personal strength was limited. Moreover, he was only in contact with the peripheral forces now, so it was not appropriate to act rashly for the time being. He must enter the core step by step. By then, he only needed to make the secrets of the cult public, and the Church of Light would naturally try its best to eliminate this old enemy.
The third purpose was about the improvement of alchemy. At this time, there were only more than four months left before next year's alchemy contest. In the alchemy contest, he would face the strongest enemy of his teacher, Tetenis, the potion and mechanic dual grand master, Saman. The potion aspect was fine as he could use the potions in the Super System to deal with it, but his mechanics could only be used for real. Since returning from the human world last time, despite the time rule of the training ground, Chen Rui had never been able to break through the layer of window paper between grand master and grand master. He felt that grand master was still a little lacking. When he went to the human world this time, he also wanted to visit the two mechanic grand masters in the Emerald Forest Sea on the way to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough.
From the Blue Star City in the south of the Starlight Kingdom, he could reach the north of the Emerald Forest Sea through the ice sea. However, Chen Rui had plenty of time this time, so he did not set off immediately. Instead, he came to the largest magic store in Golden Star City, "Golden Key".
"It turns out to be sir! Welcome to patronize again. What do you need this time? I promise that sir will get the most favorable offer. " Chen Rui had purchased a large number of magic scrolls here last time, so the chubby shop owner, Sisman, was quite impressed by his current face. He personally welcomed Chen Rui to the VIP room on the second floor. He seemed very enthusiastic.
"I need three things: magic paper, blue light grass, and white scorpion vine seeds. The more the better!"
The alchemy branch of scroll study had developed to a considerable height in the human world. Magic scrolls were also quite popular. Even ordinary people could use scrolls to cast magic. However, due to various reasons, scroll study had declined in the Demon Realm for many years. Magic scrolls were of little value in the Demon Realm. They were rare and expensive, but their practical value was not high. They were rarely used in battles.
When Chen Rui returned to the Demon Realm from the human world, he received the 2 books "Scroll Study Basics" and "Scroll Mastery" from the elven mechanic grand master, Fenoah. The information recorded in these 2 books was very complete, and there were Fenoah's own experiences and annotations. They were extremely precious. Chen Rui copied these 2 books and gave them to his teacher, Tetenis, and the president of the Fallen Angel Empire's Mechanic Association, Fonsaq. He also set up a scroll study research department to organize specialized personnel to study scrolls. This was also one of Chen Rui's strategic weapons.
Due to the complete theoretical support and ready-made scrolls, the research had made gratifying progress. However, to rely on the scrolls produced locally in the Demon Realm, there was a problem that could not be solved at present, and that was the materials. The material for making the initial base of the scroll was called magic paper. This kind of paper had a very good magic storage attribute. The main materials were blue light grass and scorpion vine. These 2 plants belonged to the light element. They were not rare in the human world, but they were almost extinct in the Demon Realm with rich dark elements. He couldn't find a substitute for them for a while.
Therefore, Chen Rui wanted to purchase a large number of magic paper and 2 kinds of plants and seeds this time. He could find substitutes through experiments or use "magic soil" to cultivate them in batches (Although the galaxy garden could be planted, the number was limited after all).
"We still have about 300 pieces of magic paper in stock, but due to special reasons, the price is relatively high. There are also some scorpion vine and seeds, but blue light grass … is currently out of stock. " Sisman smiled apologetically. "Not just the Golden Key, even in the whole human world, it's now in high demand. This is because not long ago, the Church of Light … Hehe, you should know that during that period of time, the Church of Light had almost sealed off the nearby kingdoms. In the end, they all withdrew."
Chen Rui was stunned. This was the big move the Church had made to encircle him, and it was later canceled because of Isyorul's death. But what did this have to do with the blue light grass?
"I know about that incident. After I bought the magic scroll from you, I started to train in seclusion. I only completed it recently. What happened after that?"
"I see!" Sisman looked enlightened. "You may not know this, but since then, the Church has started to buy blue light grass and seeds on a large scale. I don't know the specific reason, but now the price of blue light grass and magic paper has increased by 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 for them to mature and be used. Before that, the price of magic scrolls will not drop."
"Is that so …" Chen Rui vaguely guessed that the Church's large purchase of blue light grass had something to do with the disappearance of the Snow Tree. It was very likely that they needed a replacement or remedy. But if that was the case, his magic scroll plan would most likely be put on hold.
Chen Rui thought for a moment and said, "My family has been in business for many years. Just because there is a shortage in the market doesn't mean there isn't any. Otherwise, magic scrolls would have been out of stock long ago. I know you must have stockpiled them and are waiting for the right price. How about this? I'll trade with the Dark Soul Grass."
The Dark Soul Grass was a very rare magic plant. It had a relatively pure dark energy and was a necessary ingredient for crafting weapons and high-level potions. Of course, this "rare" only applied to the surface world. In the Demon Realm, the Dark Soul Grass was even more common than the Blue Light Grass or the Scorpion Lock Vine.
When Chen Rui had been experimenting with potions, there were many related materials in his storage, and the Dark Soul Grass was one of them. In fact, there were many similar items with different prices. If it was just for money, he could become a "Plane Merchant", but that was clearly not his goal.
"Dark Soul Grass?"
Sisman's eyes lit up. He saw a dark purple plant in Chen Rui's hand. Sisman took it and looked at it carefully. "It really is the Dark Soul Grass, and the quality is quite high. How about this, one Dark Soul Grass for 20 Blue Light Grass, and I'll add another 30 seeds. I know you are at a disadvantage at this price. In the past, such an exchange would definitely not be possible, but now is a special time. If you are in urgent need, this price is very fair. If you are not in urgent need, you can come back next year when the price drops. I will give you a discount at the current price. "
Sisman's words were very beautiful, but if the other party was not in urgent need, why would he trade the Dark Soul Grass?
Chen Rui naturally understood this, but he didn't point it out. In fact, the dark soul grass was much cheaper than the blue light grass for him. He immediately nodded, "Okay, then I'll exchange for 1000 stalks first."
"1,000!" Sisman was shocked. He had thought that the other party would only have a few dozen. He did not expect the amount to be so huge. This would require 20,000 Blue Light Grass and 30,000 seeds. With the current market, not to mention that his shop did not have that many in stock, even all the magic shops in Venus City did not have more than 10,000.
"If you don't have it, I'll go somewhere else."
"Please wait a moment!" Sisman's mind turned quickly. This was a huge deal that was guaranteed to be profitable. He could earn at least five times the price. He could not just watch it fly away.
Even if he could not take this deal, it did not mean that others could not.
"Let's do it this way." Sisman finally made a decision. "I'll introduce you to someone. He needs Dark Soulgrass, and he should have enough Blue Glow Grass on hand. However, I have a condition. You must first exchange 200 Dark Soulgrass with the Golden Key. I will hand over 4,000 Blue Glow Grass and 6,000 seeds. What do you think, Sir? "
"No problem. We can trade now, including the magic rune paper and Scorpion Lock Vines. What I want to know is, who is the buyer? Don't worry, I will complete the trade with you first. "Chen Rui waved his hand, and 200 Dark Soul Grass appeared on the table.
"Of course I trust you, Sir!" Sisman's eyes narrowed as he smiled, and he immediately arranged for the shop assistant to do an inventory. "Don't worry, Your Excellency. That person is the disciple of Master Matthews from Starlight Academy's Alchemy Department, Pharmacist Fitz. He is a very enthusiastic and easy-going young man, so there won't be any problems in communicating. Communication will not be a problem. He has been buying Dark Soul Grass for the past few days. He should still be in the city. Starlight Academy's Alchemy Department should have a large amount of Blue Light Grass in stock. I will send someone to look for Fitz now. "
Not long after, Fitz appeared in the VIP lounge. He was a young man with short black hair. He was panting. It was obvious that he had rushed over in a hurry. The moment he saw Lin Li, he asked, "Sir, do you really have a large amount of Dark Soul Grass?"
"Are you Sir Fitz? My name is Simon. How much Dark Soul Grass do you need? "
"How much do you have? I want it all!"
"How about 1,000?" Chen Rui asked tentatively.
"Do you really have 1,000?" Fitz said happily after getting a positive answer. "Great! I will give you the highest price! "
Chen Rui shook his head. "I'm sorry, I only accept trade. I need Blue Light Grass and its seeds."
"Blue Light Grass?" Fitz thought for a moment. "Alright! 100 stalks and 100 seeds for one stalk. What do you think? "
"Of course, this price is very fair." Chen Rui looked at Sisman. The fat shop owner laughed awkwardly and pretended not to hear him.
"Oh right, do you still have dried Datura leaves? I only need 20 grams. "
Datura flowers? Chen Rui suddenly thought of a courtyard with the fragrance of tea. He felt warm in his heart and smiled. "If it's to make a white potion, then … fresh Datura leaves should be able to achieve better results."
Fitz looked at the dark green leaf that appeared in Lin Li's hand, and his eyes widened. "This … is really a Datura leaf! That's great! The task that Teacher gave me can be completed! Sir Simon, as the exchange amount is relatively large, if it's convenient for you, please follow me to the academy. "
Chen Rui thought for a moment and agreed.
Starlight Academy was located in the outskirts of Venus City. It was the most famous institution of higher learning in the human world. It had a long history and nurtured countless elite talents. Many nobles from empires or kingdoms would send their children to study in the academy from afar. Its reputation and quality of education were evident.
The two of them set off in a carriage. About four hours later, the carriage came to a stop.
"Sir Simon, as the academy's Star Pagoda is about to open soon, the checks on entering the academy will be very strict. Please don't mind."
Star Pagoda? Chen Rui's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that back in the Jadeite Forest, the princess had mentioned this term when she was trying to win him over. It was said that it was an excellent place for cultivation, even for Saint-tier experts.
He did not know if he would have the chance to see the Star Pagoda this time. He also did not know if he would meet those "acquaintances" from that day.
"Sir Simon?" The enthusiastic pharmacist reminded, interrupting Chen Rui's thoughts.
"Oh, it's nothing. Let's alight."
