Chapter 18 Philosopher’s Stone

"Master, are you sure you are not kidding me?" Facing Mu Hua with his palms open, Zhou Yi guessed Mu Hua's intention with a suspicious look.

Mu Hua frowned. No skill stone to be seen on Monday?

After smelting the Goblin Mage, Mu Hua took out the Fireball skill stone and wanted to ask Monday if he had seen such a thing, but it turned out that Monday couldn't see it at all.

This is a bit of a problem. Although Mu Hua can directly slap the skill stone on other people, if others can't see it, how can they sell it for money? You know, inheritance crystals are very expensive.

Directly granting skills? I won't be caught and sliced, right? Can my small body handle it?
Well, Mu Hua still lacks some sense of security in terms of money. Not long after he started stacking magic cores, he already started thinking about exchanging skill stones for money.

Forget it, if you can’t see it, then don’t see it. It’s impossible to grant it directly to outsiders. I’m not strong enough.

Yes, but it's not strong enough.

Mu Hua was full of confidence at this time. He was sure that he would become stronger. Because he used the physical crystal, his physical fitness increased a little bit and he was full of energy.

Mu Hua only knew that taking the essence and blood extracted from the bodies of monsters could help people excessively improve their attributes during meditation.

Blood essence is not blood. Refining that stuff is almost equivalent to taking the monster's life, not to mention the difficulty of refining. I heard that even if you take it, you still need to consider the strength of the user's own attributes. Mu Hua has never seen the details...

Like the skill stone, the attribute crystal was something Mu Hua had never heard of. However, the effect of this thing was quite direct, and Mu Hua didn't even plan to let his dog see it.

Taking out a piece of goblin tendon, Mu Hua placed the piece of meat that looked like it was cut from the hind leg of a cow in front of Zhou Yi.

"Want to eat?" Mu Hua asked.

"Goblin Wizard's meat?" Monday sniffed, and this time he could see it.

"There's not much energy in the meat of low-level goblins, but that of goblin mages is pretty good." Zhou Yi grabbed the edge of the piece of meat with his mouth and pulled it from Mu Hua's hand. The two ravens followed suit and started pecking and tearing it apart as if they were tasting something new.

Monday didn't show much interest, but he ate with great enthusiasm.

Mu Hua felt that this guy probably had never eaten anything good.

Seeing Monday chewing on the piece of meat made Mu Hua feel like he was raising a dog. He picked up the fishing rod and prepared to go fishing for monsters again. He took out 0.1 units of the philosopher's stone and asked Monday casually.

"Have you seen this?"

The pieces were the size of rice grains, and Mu Hua couldn't tell what they were made of. They weren't hard at all, and even seemed like they could be crushed with a pinch.

Originally, Mu Hua was not prepared to answer on Monday, and he even thought that he would not be able to see it on Monday.

Unexpectedly, such a small grain of stone made Monday shudder as if frightened and stare at the stone intently.

"The... the philosopher's stone?"

"Great master, Monday is willing to submit to you forever, and Monday begs for your mercy~~!" The dog's barking contained a strange tone of devil language, and Monday howled like a wolf.

"You want it?" Mu Hua was surprised. Looking at Zhou Yi's behavior, it was obvious that the Philosopher's Stone was a good thing.

“Ah~~Ah~~~”

Well, pure howl.

Monday had completely lost his moral integrity. He stopped speaking the devil language and simply changed his job to a Husky. He stopped eating and came close to Mu Hua, wagging his tail and barking like a dog.

"Go, go..." Mu Hua pushed it away with his foot in disgust. At this moment, this guy looked like a husky with its hair removed. A black vicious dog would never be as despicable as it.

"Tell me what this thing is used for?" Mu Hua asked Zhou Yi.

"The Philosopher's Stone, the universal elixir, the secret treasure of life. Master, it can make me evolve, purify my blood, and enable me to achieve a leap in life." Monday blinked his eyes, squatted aside, and swept his tail.

"Life transition? Can I use it too?" Mu Hua's interest was piqued.

Mu Hua's magic adaptability is too low, so the efficiency of meditation in improving himself is very low.

He was worried about his life span because of the speed of time flow. If he stayed on the island of abyss for too long, it might become indirect suicide.

"I achieved a life leap because of evolution. In addition to my own bloodline, it would be best to devour a higher-level demon in order to evolve safely. Humans? What will humans become after evolution?" Zhou Yi looked at Mu Hua with a confused look.

"Can't humans also make life transitions?" Mu Hua questioned.

"But it's not the same as evolution." Monday was confused.

“…” Mu Hua had a toothache. Damn, it would be better to just say evolution. Doesn’t mankind have an evolutionary map?
Apparently, the Philosopher's Stone might work for feeding monkeys, if that old Darwin wasn't kidding.

"What other uses does it have?" Mu Hua asked. "I don't know. It's an omnipotent elixir, so it can probably be used for alchemy, right? But who would be stupid enough to use such a treasure for alchemy?" Zhou Yi shook his head.

Mu Hua said no more and threw the small philosopher's stone to Zhou Yi.

Perhaps he didn't expect Mu Hua to really give it to him, the Philosopher's Stone hit Zhou Yi's nose and fell to the ground.

Monday rolled up his tongue and even rolled up a handful of sand, and swallowed the Philosopher's Stone along with the sand.

"No future." Mu Hua twitched his eyes.

What a goblin wizard cooked, is it that serious? However, Monday's reaction also confirmed that this thing should be quite rare.

"Yes, yes, great master, these are treasures that even the Demon King would be attracted to. The demon lord would even start a war for them. Your mind is broader than that of the Demon King." Zhou Yi praised Mu Hua highly.

"Alright, alright, you're just a black evil dog. If you see a mid-level demon, you might turn into a hot pot. What's more, you're a demon king." Mu Hua looked contemptuous.

"No, Master, I have the knowledge inherited from Cerberus!"

"Believe me, great master. As long as there are enough philosopher's stones, I will definitely become your most loyal Cerberus." Monday retorted.

"Three-headed hellhound? Are you saying that a three-headed hellhound rode a black evil dog, or that a black evil dog rode a three-headed hellhound?" Zhou Yi's self-defense failed to arouse Mu Hua's slightest thought, and Mu Hua said with even more contempt.

There is no psychological barrier for demons to have interspecies sex, but these two are totally mismatched in size. A hybrid of a three-headed hellhound and a black evil dog that can treat higher-level demons as snacks?

To borrow Helen’s words: “It will break.”

"Maybe it's a two-headed hellhound? A hellhound? Well, you are the master, you win, hellhound. Even if the heritage of hellhound comes from Cerberus, right?"

Monday tried his best to defend himself, but his clan's status kept declining, and Mu Hua was too lazy to continue attacking it.

Maybe there really was a hellhound that rode a female black dog, and the black dog luckily escaped death, otherwise how did a hybrid like Monday come about?
As for a male black evil dog warrior, the possibility is not high. As I said before, if the hellhound girl gets a little excited, it will break...

"You want to evolve a hellhound? Isn't Fenrir good enough?" Mu Hua was not interested in discussing the story of a demon and a bitch, so he changed the subject.

You're just bragging. Fenrir is also a dog.

"No, Monday will eventually become a great super-level demon, and the dragon-like monsters will still be monsters, a group of savage and stupid beasts." Monday raised his dog head proudly.

Mu Hua was stunned and blinked his eyes. He called up the furnace interface that others could not see and confirmed the racial mark in the Monday attribute panel again.

That's right, it's Warcraft.

"Yeah, that's right. I think what you said makes a lot of sense." Mu Hua patted Gouzi's head and thought to himself, this guy is so arrogant that he doesn't care about his relatives.

"Master, did I say something wrong?" Mu Hua's attitude changed drastically, and Zhou Yi became cautious instead.

"Is there?" Mu Hua picked up the fishing rod.

"No? Why do I feel like you're not praising me?" Following Mu Hua, Zhou Yi asked.

"It must be an illusion. By the way, how many Philosopher's Stones do you need to evolve a hellhound?" Mu Hua shook his head.

"This... The Philosopher's Stone increases the possibility of evolution and the chance of survival during evolution. However, if you give me another 500 copies of that quantity, I will definitely be able to complete the evolution." Monday glanced at Mu Hua carefully.

"Oh." Mu Hua responded without comment. Five hundred copies is probably fifty units of the Philosopher's Stone.

Fifty units evolving into Cerberus doesn't seem like a lot.

"No, great master, three hundred copies, I can also try three hundred copies." Monday was a little panicked.

"Hmm?" Mu Hua looked at Monday. Thirty units?

"Two hundred copies! Master, with just one hundred and fifty copies, your Monday will dare to challenge death and start the road of evolution. Of course, we also need to kill a hellhound." Monday gritted his teeth.

"Heh..." Mu Hua sneered. This guy really bargained for this price.

However, if possible, Mu Hua still doesn't want to do any death challenge on Monday.

The man and the dog were chatting nonsense. Mu Hua came to the shore with the 'Fishing Abyss'. After a moment's hesitation, he considered changing the pit to try fishing.

He walked a distance to the right, cast the rod, spun the line, and the fish sinker flew away with a whistle and fell into the abyss of the sea.
