11: Wind-Splitter Blade and Thorn Light Armor

The next morning.

Inside a private room on the second floor of the Wanding Chamber of Commerce.

"Your potions are worth a total of 1347 units of spirit crystals. We'll round it up to 1350 units for you."

An elderly man wearing glasses slowly said.

Selling Materials in bulk is common, but selling potions in bulk is rare.

However, his excellent professional ethics made him suppress his curiosity.

As the largest Chamber of Commerce in the world, the Wanding Chamber of Commerce does an excellent job of protecting client information.

They never ask about the origin of items they acquire, nor do they inquire about clients' information.

As long as it's not contraband, they purchase it at the listed price.

"Alright."

Lin Xingyu nodded.

He had researched the information on the spirit net beforehand, and the price offered was quite fair.

The elder's eyes were sharp; he would not accept potions with quality issues.

Including yesterday's gains, he now had a total of 1882 units of spirit crystals.

After leaving the acquisition area, he went to the first floor, preparing to buy some gear.

"Do you have spirit seeds dropped by Crystal Armored Rats?"

"Yes, what Rank do you need?"

"F-Rank."

"Alright, please follow me."

Just then, a conversation drifted into Lin Xingyu's ears.

He looked over curiously.

He saw the attendant guiding a customer to a display cabinet.

Inside the display cabinet were many spherical crystals, emitting a soft glow.

The information about the crystal was also displayed.

【spirit seed】

【Quality: F】

【Description: After incubation, an F-Rank artifact seed "Crystal Shield" can be obtained.】

"This is...?"

"I can actually see the item that a spirit seed will hatch into!!!"

Lin Xingyu's pupils contracted slightly, and a storm raged in his heart.

One must know that no one could predict what a spirit seed would hatch into beforehand.

This thing was like opening a blind box; if you got good gear, you'd make a fortune.

If you got a mutated beast, you could only consider yourself unlucky.

Due to the risks and uncertainties, the price of spirit seeds was far lower than spirit gear of the same Rank.

"From now on, I can buy spirit seeds at a low price and sell gear at a high price..."

This discovery showed him a broad road to wealth.

Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu stopped and walked towards the spirit seed sales area.

There was no need to buy gear; he would just buy spirit seeds and open them himself!

Lin Xingyu had already understood the approximate market prices of spirit seeds.

A D-Rank spirit seed cost at least 1000 units of spirit crystals, but incubating a spirit seed also required 1000 units of spirit crystals.

With his financial resources, even if he bought one, he wouldn't have money to incubate it.

It seemed he could only buy E-Rank spirit seeds.

"Young Lady, may I see your E-Rank spirit seeds?"

"Certainly, sir, please come this way. These are all E-Rank spirit seeds."

The attendant Young Lady showed a professional smile and guided him to a display cabinet.

Lin Xingyu began to examine the spirit seeds, and information panels appeared one by one.

【spirit seed】

【Quality: E】

【Description: After incubation, an E-Rank soul seed "Green Armored Beetle" can be obtained.】

【spirit seed】

【Quality: E】

【Description: After incubation, an E-Rank artifact seed "Vine" can be obtained.】

...The items hatched from these spirit seeds were varied.

It wasn't easy to find something that met his requirements.

He intended to look for suitable weapons and armor for himself.

The weapon should preferably be a blade, and the armor should preferably be full body armor.

Of course, mecha like Wang Chiyao's would also work, but the chance of such spirit seeds appearing was pitifully low.

Lin Xingyu was not in a hurry, checking the information of each spirit seed one by one... Twenty minutes passed.

By this time, the customer at the counter had left, leaving only the attendant Young Lady waiting patiently nearby.

"Putting on an act..."

Although the Young Lady felt disdain internally, she still maintained a smile.

This young man had been looking here for a long time, as if he could discern something.

These were all things that depended on luck; what could he possibly see?

After so many years of verification, the items hatched from spirit seeds were completely unpredictable.

Feeling a bit bored, she began to size up Lin Xingyu.

Suddenly, she noticed how serious Lin Xingyu looked, and he was exceptionally handsome.

Looking at him for a long time, she even felt a little drawn in.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but she subconsciously adjusted her posture, making the curves of her body more prominent... Lin Xingyu didn't notice the Young Lady's change, still checking the information of each spirit seed.

Just as the Young Lady's body was getting a bit stiff, he finally found his targets.

"Young Lady, how much are these two?"

Lin Xingyu suddenly spoke, pointing at two spirit seeds.

"Sir, you have excellent taste! These are spirit seeds dropped by wind-splitting beasts and thorn rats; they are very likely to hatch into gear."

"These two spirit seeds together are only 800 units of spirit crystals!"

The Young Lady stared at Lin Xingyu without blinking, her face full of anticipation.

"Alright, I'll take them!"

Lin Xingyu nodded.

"Good... good, I'll package them for you right away!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in the Young Lady's eyes, but she still maintained a smile as she packaged the spirit seeds... Outside the Wanding Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Xingyu rubbed his slightly throbbing temples.

Choosing spirit seeds was also physically demanding; his eyes ached from looking.

Fortunately, the gear had been selected.

Since he had already confirmed what the spirit seeds would hatch into, there was no need to go to the incubation area.

He found an empty corner and teleported back to his Inner World.

Incubating spirit seeds was very simple; one only needed to arrange the spirit crystals in specific positions and guide them with one's own spiritual power.

He had already researched this knowledge yesterday.

Incubating one E-Rank spirit seed required 10 E-Rank spirit crystals, which was 100 units of spirit crystals.

Spirit crystals were also divided into Ranks; E-Rank spirit crystals were dropped by second-order mutated beasts.

One unit of spirit crystals in transactions usually referred to one F-Rank spirit crystal.

This time, incubating two E-Rank spirit seeds would require a total of 20 E-Rank spirit crystals.

He had already prepared these, having just exchanged them at the Wanding Chamber of Commerce.

The incubation process was quick, and soon Lin Xingyu obtained two pieces of spirit gear.

【wind-splitting blade】

【Quality: E】

【Description: Hatched from a spirit seed dropped by a wind-splitting beast, it is extremely sharp.】

【thorn light armor】

【Quality: E】

【Description: Hatched from a spirit seed dropped by a thorn rat, it boasts excellent flexibility and protection, with a faint counter-damage effect.】

Lin Xingyu eagerly put on the thorn light armor.

The light armor had a soft lining inside, automatically conforming to his body size.

Its surface had intricate thorn patterns, looking very impressive.

He moved his body, finding no hindrance to his movements, and it felt quite good.

Next, he picked up the wind-splitting blade.

The wind-splitting blade hummed in his hand, its edge glowing with a faint blue cold light.

He casually swung it, and the blade cut through the air, producing bursts of whooshing sounds.

"Quite good!"

Lin Xingyu nodded with satisfaction.

After tidying up a bit, Lin Xingyu teleported outside and walked towards the city gate.

"It's time to farm monsters and level up!"
