Chapter 171
After all, they were about to challenge a very difficult area.
If the effect of this Life Secret Medicine was good, Cao Xing wanted to buy some as a backup.
And the Blue Quality Pet Food was something he planned to use for fishing.
Last time, that Champion Fighter said that to catch a Golden Salmon, more advanced bait was needed, so Cao Xing kept that in mind.
Marita nodded, then signaled a guard to bring up two boxes.
The boxes opened, and inside were thirty bottles of red potion; the other box contained 30 finely packaged small pills.
He glanced at the attribute.
[Life Secret Medicine (Small): After ingestion, immediately restores 300 points of life, cooling time 30 seconds]
…
It could only restore 300 points of life, with a cooling time of 30 seconds.
One must know, Cao Xing’s Ice Healing Skill could restore 75 points of life value per second.
However, Life Secret Medicine did not conflict with the Ice Healing Skill’s recovery, so they could be used together.
Then, Cao Xing looked at the attribute of the other Pet Food.
[Special Pet Food (Blue): Made with a large amount of animal offal, eyeballs, Hake Frog saliva, and mucus. Loved by various pets, it increases loyalty by 5 points after feeding. Maximum feeding limit per pet is 3 times.]
(Note: Exclusive secret recipe of the Hake Frogs, do not divulge easily~)
…
Seeing the note above, the corner of Cao Xing’s mouth twitched.
The ingredients for this thing were really quite heavy-tasting.
But who cares, it wasn’t for him to eat.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing replied: “Let me have all 30 bottles of the Life Secret Medicine, 50 pieces of Green Quality Pet Food, 20 pieces of Blue Quality Pet Food, and I also want the Mechanical Factory Construction Drawings.”
As Cao Xing stated his needs, Marita quickly calculated the price in her mind.
“Alright, that will be a total of 305,000 crowns.”
So expensive…
Cao Xing secretly complained.
The most expensive of them all was indeed the 20 pieces of Blue Quality Pet Food, which cost him a full 200,000 crowns!
However, if he could catch the legendary Golden Salmon, even if it was just one, it would not be a loss!
Cao Xing nodded, then swiftly completed the first wave of transactions.
[Transaction Successful: You received Life Secret Medicine (Small) *30, Special Pet Food (Green) *50, Special Pet Food (Blue) *20, Mechanical Factory Construction Drawings *1, you spent coins *315000…]
Marita laughed softly again, “Lord Cao Xing, is there anything else you need?”
Cao Xing did not answer but continued browsing the goods.
His gaze landed on that [Daylight Staff].
It was a golden magic wand, and naturally, its price was prohibitively high.
Even if he sold another Moonlight Treasure Pearl, he couldn’t afford it.
There was nothing else that Cao Xing desired to purchase.
At this moment, he noticed something unusual, the [Devouring Demon Box].
Next, he would be going with Ji Xinyue to explore [Ascalon Tomb], and according to her, there was a demon feasting on the undead inside.
And this thing, bearing the name of ‘devouring demon,’ could it possibly devour demons?
Cao Xing decided to ask directly: “Lovely Lady Marita, may I ask what this Devouring Demon Box is? Could you please explain it for me?”
Marita nodded and then slowly said: “This Devouring Demon Box is related to the legendary demons.”
“It is said that demons are extremely powerful and undying beings. Even if you destroy their bodies, they will soon return.”
“Undying?”
Cao Xing was immediately shocked; this was the first time he had heard of this.
“Yes.”
Marita continued: “Only by destroying their souls can they be completely killed.”
“However, without the methods of the Church Court, not even the Sixth Tier experts of legend can destroy their souls.”
“But later, after research by those experts, it’s found that although demons are hard to kill, their souls can be sealed away inside specific containers.”
Cao Xing was taken aback, “You mean, this Devouring Demon Box…”
Marita nodded, “Yes, it’s an ominous object.”
“There is a fearsome demon sealed inside.”
Marita continued: “But there’s no need to worry. This Devouring Demon Box has been enchanted with sealing magic by a Fifth Rank Great Mage; the demon inside cannot escape.”
Cao Xing showed a look of realization, “So does this Devouring Demon Box serve any purpose?”
Hearing this question, Marita pondered for a moment.
“Purpose… It doesn’t serve much purpose.”
“Its only use is that if you encounter other demons and destroy their physical bodies, you can use the demon sealed within to devour the others’ souls and kill them completely.”
“Of course, if you encounter a demon too strong, exceeding the strength of the demon inside the box, it won’t be able to devour it.”
Cao Xing nodded with sudden understanding.
He was about to find Ji Xinyue to complete the task.
If not for hearing from Marita, he wouldn’t have known that demons were undying beings.
Thus, the [Devouring Demon Box] was of great importance to him.
After contemplating for a while, Cao Xing decided to purchase the item.
“Lady Marita, I would like this box.”
Upon hearing this, Marita glanced at Cao Xing.
Of course, her professionalism prevented her from prying further; instead, she nodded, instructing the guard beside her to carefully bring over a box.
Even before it approached, Cao Xing felt waves of evil aura.
When the box opened, Cao Xing seemed to see a wisp of black gas emerging, whispers echoing in his ears.
“Give me… fresh flesh…”
“I want to devour… innards… breasts… genitals…”
