"I'll go back and try these. If there's nothing wrong with them, I'll buy from you again in the future."
After collecting the materials for refining the youth potion, Mu Hua used seven philosopher's stones to exchange for some seeds of hell plants from Besero.
There are fruit trees, herbs, and some plants that are suitable as mediums for natural mysticism, such as water flowers, magic grains, and some plants that certain monsters like to eat.
One of the seedlings of the divine tree asked Mu Hua for three philosopher's stones. It was a plant similar to a magic network terminal.
If it is planted on the Island of the Abyss, once it takes root and survives, it will anchor a divine tree growing in the human world, and the island will also be able to receive signals from the external magic network.
This tree requires a certain amount of magic to grow, but the environment of the Abyss Island does not require Mu Hua to worry about this at all.
Mu Hua planned to exchange the youth potion for money. If he succeeded in refining it, he would need to continue buying materials in the future. However, he did not dare to take too much from Besero at one time.
Whether it is the Naxi Gem or the Double Moon Teardrop, it is quite troublesome to obtain it, and the devil's egg of the special devil is no different from ordinary devil eggs when thrown outside, and it is also difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
Mu Hua was worried that he ordered too much at once and Becerro wouldn't get enough to adulterate the goods. Mu Hua wasn't even sure whether what he bought this time was genuine.
"Of course, dear sir, I will keep helping you collect these materials." After receiving the Philosopher's Stone again and confirming that Mu Hua intended to continue trading with it using the Philosopher's Stone, Besero said happily.
"I have the alchemy records. If there is a problem with the youth potion, I don't want you to attribute the problem to my pharmaceutical level." Mu Hua reminded.
Becerro was slightly stunned, then a smile appeared on his face again.
"Of course, Mr. Lucky, no wonder you want to make a youth potion. It is very popular among humans. I knew you were definitely different from Jason."
"I sincerely hope to cooperate with you for a long time. I can also try to help you acquire the Alchemy Records. However, even if you master the potion formula, there is still a chance of failure in the refining process." Besero reminded cautiously.
"I could sense the reason for my failure at that time, so there was no need for me to be unreasonable with you." Mu Hua said calmly.
"Of course. Please forgive my caution. You know, my previous clients are nothing like you. They always give me a headache, which makes Becello always cautious." Becello pretended to be pitiful.
"Ha, devil merchant, your acting really makes me sick." Monday lay aside, clapping his paws and laughing strangely. Besero glanced at it and pretended not to hear it.
This dog has a foul mouth and doesn't seem to have much knowledge. Becerro thought to himself that there was no need to argue with it. Since it is Mu Hua's dependent, it might also be a potential customer.
Of course, we still need to observe how much Mu Hua values it, and perhaps we should pay attention to what the hellhound likes in the future.
After thinking about all these things, Besero did not ignore Monday. Instead, he gave Monday a humble smile and turned to look at Mu Hua.
"Mr. Mu Hua, I have heard about an interesting product these days. I wonder if you are interested in it."
"What is it?" Mu Hua asked.
"A living branch of Yggdrasil." Beserro said.
"World Tree?" Mu Hua didn't understand what Besero said, but Monday beside him spoke up at the right time, and Mu Hua knew this word.
It is somewhat different from the world tree in Norse mythology. Although both are connected to other worlds, the world tree mentioned by Besero will not derive the world, but has a function similar to a courtyard key.
It can also grow nine branches, each of which can lock the dimensional coordinates of a courtyard. Through the World Tree, one can freely enter and exit these nine courtyards.
It sounds magical, but in a world full of courtyard entrances, this function is really meaningless compared to the difficulty of its growth.
Demons usually cut off the branches of this world tree after they grow, and use the wood where the branches join the trunk to make shields.
It is said that the shield made by the World Tree is indestructible and naturally has a "permanent protection" level of defense, which can even allow the holder to face forbidden spells and save his life.
The World Tree is also known as the barrier of the world, and the shield made of the World Tree is also hailed by all walks of life as the strongest shield.
"That thing has extremely high requirements for magic power and cannot be grown at all. It will take more than a year or two to make it take root and grow and supply it with magic power." Monday said with disgust.
"It may take hundreds of years for Yggdrasil to grow a branch, let alone grow it to a sufficient thickness." "Demon merchant, you are cheating. My master doesn't need this kind of product!" Monday swung his tail, stood in front of Mu Hua, and scolded Besero.
"No, so I just said it is an interesting product. Interesting, you know? As a proud hellhound, Becerro never deceives customers." Becerro looked at Mu Hua with an aggrieved look on his face, and turned to Monday and said.
"I'm a hellhound," Monday complained.
"Ha~." Becerro smiled strangely and curled his lips. In his opinion, the hellhound and the hellhound were the same. As long as they had the same head, Becerro was too lazy to tell the difference.
These guys can't be coaxed all the time, and maybe a little stimulation from time to time can stimulate their shopping desire? Besero is looking forward to Monday slapping him in the face, preferably with his owner's philosopher's stone.
"Stop arguing. How much is the branch of the World Tree?" Mu Hua interrupted the quarrel between the two demons and asked Besero.
"Three hundred Philosopher's Stones." Besero said seemingly unintentionally.
"Liar, bastard~, Master, this cunning little devil is a bastard liar! We have the Philosopher's Stone, we can go find other demon merchants." Zhou Yi's claws flew with sparks, and he shouted to Mu Hua.
Three hundred Philosopher's Stones? How dare this bastard ask for it? He only swallowed eight thousand on Tuesday. The remaining Philosopher's Stones belong to us. To hell with the World Tree, Monday was furious.
Mu Hua didn't know the price of the branches of the World Tree, and he had never thought that one day he would have the idea of planting a World Tree.
Monday didn't understand the value of this thing either, but one seedling might not survive, and after it survived, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years for the seedling to provide magical power. It was estimated that even in hell, not many demons would actually plant it.
As for something like the World Tree that is laborious and time-consuming to cultivate, in the eyes of the demons, the best way to own it is to rob it!
Mu Hua did not agree with what Monday said and just looked at Besero like a fool.
At first, Besero blinked his eyes and acted cute with Mu Hua, but after a while, the demon merchant scratched his head with a slightly embarrassed look.
"Mr. Mu Hua, you know, no matter what, it is always the source of supreme power, and it is rare. Well, how about one hundred philosopher's stones? I can try to help you negotiate." Besero said.
"Who said it's rare? Each world tree can take nine active branches." Monday interrupted.
"Hellhound, do you think the branches of Yggdrasil are the eggs of the Hyoid Demon? Have you seen the World Tree? Have you seen a World Tree with nine branches?"
"As long as the thickness is sufficient, in order to prevent the World Tree from withering midway, many times a branch will be cut down."
"Plus the low rooting rate, if it were as you said, Hell would have been full of World Trees long ago." Besero retorted, watching the two demons start to quarrel again.
"Ten... Never mind. Let's not bother with this thing. Thirty Philosopher's Stones. If that works, then it works. If not, forget it." Mu Hua shook his head and quoted a price that he felt was harmless.
"Thirty?" Besero looked embarrassed.
"If it doesn't work, forget it. Don't talk about negotiating. If you didn't bring it with you, would you try so hard to sell it?" Mu Hua said indifferently.
The name of the World Tree is a bit too grand, and Mu Hua is not sure whether such a thing can be grown on the Abyss Island.
Just as Becerro said, this kind of thing that could only be harvested after at least hundreds of years was just an interesting toy for Mu Hua for the time being.
More importantly, if this thing sells well, it probably wouldn't be the turn of a newbie like Becerro to promote it.
Seeing that Mu Hua was not interested in the World Tree Branches, Besero reluctantly offered to try his best to help Mu Hua communicate with the seller.
Mu Hua naturally wouldn't believe its nonsense. No matter whether it was stolen, robbed or grown by himself, he didn't believe that the existence in hell that could sell branches of the World Tree would communicate with Becerro.
If I exchange something as embarrassing as the branches of the World Tree for demon gold coins, I'm afraid the other party may not really sell it.
It is not impossible to buy it with the Philosopher's Stone. Here we have to sigh at the purchasing power of the Philosopher's Stone among demons. (End of this chapter)
