73: Evolve the Dark Hunter! (Part 1)

“Should I send the items to you now?”

“Or should I keep them for now.”

Seeing the message from Bai Sheng, Lin Shu was pleasantly surprised. This meant there was only one material left!

After some thought, Lin Shu decided to complete the evolution on Meihu Island.

After all, with Wu Song providing protection, there would be some assurance if any accidents occurred.

His mentor had been very busy recently and definitely wouldn't be able to spare time to come over.

This was the most ideal location, so he immediately sent a reply to Bai Sheng.

“I'm troubling you. Please send it to the Otherworld on Meihu Island now.”

As for the other materials, Lin Shu didn't take any more, as he already had the most important space-type material.

“No problem. It should arrive tomorrow morning. Remember to check your messages.”

Is the evolution going to start in the next two days?

This speed is a bit too fast, Bai Sheng thought, a ripple forming in his heart.

Looking at Bai Sheng’s reply, Lin Shu ended the conversation after responding.

He planned to get the remaining three from Brother Wu. Lin Shu didn't intend to keep the Illusion Dream Fish; its value was high, and it should be enough to buy the remaining evolution materials.

Just then, a sound came from the door of Lin Shu's room.

He walked over and opened the door, finding that it was Wu Song. What a coincidence.

He had a medal around his neck, silver in color, with a leaping fish carved on it, and the number “48” beside it.

Seeing Lin Shu looking at the medal around his neck, Wu Song smiled. He had just received it from the official Meihu Island Fishing Carnival competition.

Although it was only 48th place, he was already very excited, as this was the first medal he had won for fishing in so many years.

“I just got it!”

“I owe this ranking to you!”

“Let me tell you, this fulfills a long-held wish of mine. I can't even describe how happy I am right now.”

The two closed the door and sat on the sofa in the room.

He expressed his gratitude to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu waved his hand, indicating that these were minor matters and there was no need for such formality.

After chatting about this topic for a while, Lin Shu began to get to the point.

“Brother Wu, can you help me buy some things on the Beastmaster Mall?”

“We can split the Illusion Dream Fish equally, whether for selling or any other use.”

“It's just too unfair for me to take it all myself.”

Hearing Lin Shu's words, Wu Song's voice rose.

“Buying things is no problem. Three to five million daxia currency is just a drop in the bucket.”

“You helped me a lot this time. Don't decline the Illusion Dream Fish.”

“Otherwise, your Brother Wu will be unhappy.”

Wu Song's insistence made it impossible for Lin Shu to refuse, so he had to agree to the method.

“That's more like it.”

“Come on, tell me what you need, and I'll help you buy it.”

“It's all small money. Don't try to save me money; buy boldly.”

He was in a very good mood, appearing quite generous.

Lin Shu also didn't stand on ceremony and added the three materials that were in stock in the mall to his shopping cart.

Wu Song looked at these three materials and noticed something.

These all seemed to be evolution materials?

His gaze then fell on Black Night, who was lying at Lin Shu's feet, and he realized that its level was also nearing the critical point.

He then understood, but why hadn't the sect master prepared the evolution materials? Why did Lin Shu have to collect them?

This mentor was truly irresponsible. Thankfully, he was here.

He was helping to clean up the mess. Next time, he would definitely use this reason to scold him severely.

Wu Song thought this to himself.

Although Wu Song knew the sect master had the evolution path for Shadow Mantis, he had never witnessed its evolution process, let alone known the materials required.

Looking at the three items in the shopping cart, the total price was 2.45 million daxia currency.

He was a distinguished Platinum member and enjoyed an 8.5% discount.

So, after payment, the total cost was 2.08 million daxia currency, rounded to an integer.

“Alright, it says it will be delivered tonight.”

“Are there any other materials or spiritual objects you need? You really don't have to save me money.”

He showed Lin Shu the image of the successful purchase, still thinking Lin Shu was embarrassed to spend more money.

“Then I won't be polite, Brother Wu.”

“I still need a kong yuan spirit stone.”

Lin Shu thought for a moment and then said the name of the kong yuan spirit stone. Perhaps Brother Wu really had connections to get it.

This kong yuan spirit stone was the rarest material in this evolution path, and Lin Shu had also sent a message to his mentor about it.

His mentor had not replied yet.

The evolution seemed to have stalled.

“kong yuan spirit stone?”

“Wait a moment.”

Wu Song thought to himself, why do you need this? You can't use it.

However, he didn't dwell on the question. He seemed to remember an impression of this item. Who had mentioned it, or where had he seen it?

First, he checked the Beastmaster Mall.

Silver members and above would have access to some exclusive sales items that ordinary users did not. The higher the membership level, the more items offered and the higher their value.

Unfortunately, among the numerous Beastmaster materials, there was no kong yuan spirit stone.

“I'll contact some people from the merchant associations.”

“They collect all kinds of Beastmaster materials, so they should have this kind of material.”

“Oh, have you contacted the sect master?”

“He should have these things in his possession.”

Merchant associations were generally composed of merchants who dealt in Beastmasters, Beastmaster materials, and spiritual objects.

Most were individual organizations without official backing, earning fees through price differences, so the prices would naturally not be cheap.

However, as long as they could find the required materials or Beastmasters, Beastmasters usually wouldn't be stingy with the money.

Lin Shu replied truthfully: “No, my mentor hasn't replied to my message.”

“Alright, I'll ask first.”

He then picked up his phone and began to contact some merchant association members he had a past acquaintance with.

Soon, there was a result. One of the shops indeed had the kong yuan spirit stone that Lin Shu needed.

However, this fellow was asking for an exorbitant price, starting at 5 million daxia currency.

But this kind of material had a small audience, and its price fluctuated greatly, without an accurate value.

However, this price was clearly much higher. They could at least earn half on this deal.

Wu Song cursed under his breath: “What a black heart, this dog.”

At the same time, he transferred the deposit with his phone. He was too lazy to waste words; anyway, it was small money to him, and it saved him trouble.

“Brother Wu, you shouldn't have.”

Lin Shu, witnessing the entire process, naturally understood the situation.

“It's fine. It's just a bit of money. If they want to earn it, let them earn it.”

“Consider it given to beggars.”

“The item is being sent from another state and won't arrive until tomorrow.”

Lin Shu nodded heavily. Now all of Black Night's evolution materials were gathered.

He could start preparing properly tomorrow...
