AST 1261 – Blackmoon Star, Swift Agile Pill

Basically, everyone in the shop would sort of examine the item . But once they asked about its price, they would leave immediately as the seller only wanted to exchange that item in trade . Furthermore, their demand for the exchange was very high . They demand for either a demonic crystal worth 1,000 sun or three cores with same level .

Upon hearing the price, everyone shrunk back . The only special thing about the black stone was that it looked quite nice . Hence, as soon as they heard the price, they lost the mood to even bargain for it . Even though the stone looked really beautiful but if it was only being sold for its appearance, one could already buy something similar by only spending very little money .

Of course, in between, there would still be people that came here to take a look at the stone to see what was mysterious about it . The conclusion they got was that there was a bit of spiritual fluctuation on top of it . However, this spiritual fluctuation wouldn’t be worth such a price . In fact, it was totally not worth the price .

Hence, only an idiot would exchange for it . Not any ordinary idiot, but an extremely wealthy idiot .

When Qing Shui saw them put it down, he operated his Heavenly Vision Technique and peaked at it . Upon doing so, he got incomparably agitated .

Blackmoon Star!

He had never heard about it before but he had managed to learn about it with his Heavenly Vision Technique . Qing Shui’s Heavenly Vision Technique was an outstanding technique which helped him evaluate things . Basically, through the Heavenly Vision Technique, he would be able to roughly evaluate any objects .

Effect: It could be forged with an object . Limited to weapons, armors, whips, shield, accessories and more . It could help to permanently increase the ability of the target by one level . There was also a fixed chance that it would fail . Upon failure, the Blackmoon Star would disappear .

Qing Shui’s heart throbbed at the time he finished reading it . All of the abilities of a particular object would go up by one level . This was such a powerful ability . If it wasn’t because his Big Dipper Sword was now a Spiritual Sword, he would definitely choose the Big Dipper Sword as his first pick . This would help to increase the possibility for it to turn into a Legendary grade weapon . Of course, upgrading by one level didn’t necessarily mean a similar rise in grade . For example, the Big Dipper Sword previously increased his strength by five times . Upon using the Blackmoon Star, it would end up increasing his strength by six times instead .

However, the Big Dipper Sword was already a Spiritual Sword now . He wouldn’t be able to forge it again . He now had an even better goal .

Nine Continents Boot!

Qing Shui immediately thought about the Nine Continents Boot as soon as he saw the ability of Blackstar Moon . In his heart, the Nine Continents Boots was an existence which was at the same level as the Arhat Rosary Beads, Big Dipper Sword and Nine Continents Mountain . To him, the Nine Continents Boots was already a small divine weapon .

“How is this sold?” Qing Shui pointed at the Blackmoon Star and asked the male servant from before .

“Nice to meet you sir . Our boss has informed us that this item is not for sale . It can only be used to exchange for other stuffs . ” The male servant smiled politely .

“Oh, I wonder what I can use to exchange for it . Can I know it’s rough value?” Qing Shui felt that he must get his hands on this Blackmoon Star . However, he couldn’t express himself to be so eager to get it, or else, if people with bad intentions were to notice, it would be difficult for him to take it .

For example, when buying something, if you were to tell the seller to state a price and that you would buy it regardless of the price, this would cause the seller to feel that the thing he owned was a priceless treasure . As a result, it might even lead to the seller to no longer desire to sell the object .

“The price was equivalent to either a demonic crystal worth 1000 sun or three cores at the same level . ” The male servant smiled politely .

“Can you make the call?” Qing Shui asked after he thought for awhile .

“Yes, but my boss has informed me that there should be no bargain . As long as you pay according to the price, you can take it away immediately . ”

“Erm, alright then, I am buying this thing . ” Qing Shui responded after he thought for awhile .

“This thing is no longer for sale . ”

At this moment, a melodious voice came through . Qing Shui turned around and looked only to find that it was a young girl . She probably haven’t reached her twenties . He was still able to tell at least that .

The woman, or rather, the girl, was wearing luxurious cotton cloth . Her hair was tied in ponytail, brimming with youthful aura . The five organs on her face looked exquisite . Particularly her small nose . It was straight like a jade sculpture .

Her body had already matured completely . She had a slender body with womanly curves, especially the two peaks in front of her chest . They looked unusually upright and plumped, as if they were almost able to tear off her shirt . Qing Shui didn’t know if she was considered a loli . A loli with the face of a child yet had huge breasts .

He felt that this little girl shared a bit of resemblance with Xiang Bao from the Hundred Miles City . But as of now, Xiang Bao should be older than her by half her age now .

“Mistress, you’re here . ” The male servant bowed down and greeted her .

“Alright, why don’t you go and look after other customers? I’ll handle this . ” The little girl chuckled .

“Alright!”

The male servant smiled before he turned around and left .

“Why is this not for sale anymore?” Qing Shui felt a bit regretful now . He should have bought it immediately and left . Now, a little girl showed up out of nowhere . Furthermore, she was the mistress of the Imperial City Blacksmith Store . If she was to say that it was not for sale, what could he do? Could he possibly snatch it away from her?

“I want to use it myself . Of course it’s not for sale . ” The little girl held the Blackmoon Star in her hand and said with a smile .

Qing Shui realized that the girl wasn’t actually planning to leave . In fact, she was testing him from time to time . He felt that the girl seemed to know him and seemed as if she purposely came for him . He couldn’t do anything but shook his head: “Since that’s the case, I think I’ll just look for it at some other places then!”

At the moment he had finished speaking, he turned around to take his leave . However, as the little girl saw this, she quickly shouted: “Mister Qing, don’t rush on leaving . ”

Qing Shui stopped, it seemed that she really did know him . It was just that he didn’t really know how she learnt about him .

“You know me?” Qing Shui looked at the little girl puzzled .

“I have seen a portrait of you before . I never expected to see you . I don’t plan to exchange things with you . If you can help me with something, I will give it to you . ” The little girl blinked her eyes craftily .

“Forget it . It’s only because I think that this thing looks beautiful and that I have useless demonic crystals with me that I plan to exchange for it . Since you feel reluctant to do so, I also don’t want it anymore . It’s useless . ” Qing Shui waved his hand . He knew that the more he thirst for something, the more he shouldn’t express it .

“Hmph, based on the way you look at this object previously, I am already able to tell how you feel about it . No matter what, I have a feeling that this thing may be really useful to you . Mister Qing, I wonder if I am right?” The little girl looked at Qing Shui and said as she pretended to be calm .

“There are a lot of stuffs which can be useful to me . As if I can get all of them . What do you think?” Qing Shui smiled casually .

The girl was stunned . “Hasn’t that always been the case? Everyone has a lot of things which they liked . To everyone, the things which they liked are important things . Even if they only managed to get one of the things they liked in their hand, it will also be considered as a kind of blessing . Heck, it might even be considered as an unreasonable request . ”

The little girl quickly rolled her eyes, “Mister Qing, this is different . It’s something you can get just by putting out your hands . Won’t you try to fight for something you would like to have?”

After much thought, Qing Shui responded: “This is fine too . Then say it . ”

“Join the Divine Might Royalty!”

Qing Shui immediately took a step forward and left .

“Hey, don’t go . Alright alright, I’ll stop talking about this and change another condition . ” The little girl quickly caught up to him and said . She felt really upset . Unknowingly, she had already been put at a disadvantage .

Qing Shui stopped and looked at her . “Now, I realize that I no longer hold much interest in this black stone . Say it, one last time . If we really cannot come down to a deal, I’ll leave . ”

“Hmph, you stingy man . Help me refine a medicine once . ”

As she saw Qing Shui was about to say something, she quickly interrupted: “Alright, I know you’re an alchemist . I don’t know much about this . But I am aware that you are very good at refining medicines . This shouldn’t sound too harsh, should it? Plus I have already prepared all the medicinal herbs .

He hesitated for a while and responded: “Let me look at that stone and see if it is worth it . ”

Qing Shui didn’t have a choice . He purposely did this because this little brat was just like a little fox .

The little girl hesitated for a while before she handed it over to Qing Shui . Now, she was really scared that he would say no .

“There are so many alchemists in the royal family . Are they not able to refine it for you?” Qing Shui felt puzzled .

“Their success rate are less than 50% . ”

“Don’t tell me the royal family don’t have the Golden Snake Grass . ” Qing Shui asked, confused .

“The Golden Snake Grass could only help double the success rate . Even if the success rate had been 10% before this, it would only manage to reach 20% with the Golden Snake Grass . It’s just too low . ” The girl explained in an upset tone .

Qing Shui was stunned . It seemed that he had misunderstood some stuffs . All along, he always thought that the success rate in refining would be 100% by using the Golden Snake Grass . Actually, his success rate of refining was 100% when he used the Golden Snake Grass .

This was because no matter what medicine Qing Shui tried to refine, he himself already had more than 50% of success rate in refining them . If he was to add in the Golden Snake Grass, he would naturally have a 100% success rate . So long as the success rate exceeded 100%, success would be guaranteed .

Despite so, the Golden Snake Grass was still a very valuable thing . Furthermore, it also sounded more logical now . It seemed like prior to this, he had truly misunderstood its function . It was also because his success rate in refining medicines itself were already high . If not, he suspected that he would have figured out that his assumption was wrong a lot earlier . For example, if he really came across a failure in between, he would automatically come to understand that the Golden Snake Grass didn’t guarantee a 100% success rate .

“Alright, I promise you . But even I can’t manage to guarantee a 100% rate . Hence, even if you’re to ask me to help you refine it, you still have to be mentally prepared . Let me have a look at the prescription first . This is only way I’ll be able to roughly guess the success rate . ”

The girl quickly handed over a Beast Parchment which resembled a crystal to him . It was said that this kind of beast parchment was made with the skin of crystal beasts .

Swift Agile Pill!

As soon as Qing Shui started to look through the prescription, he realized that all of the medicinal herbs stated on it was precious medicinal herbs . However, after he looked through it, he felt that it shouldn’t be a problem for himself . Even without the Golden Snake Grass, his success rate would still be quite high .

Its effect also gave Qing Shui quite a shock . It increased the offensive speed and overall speed of the consumer by 50% and there was no restriction for strength .

Each individual could only consume one of it .

Qing Shui felt really amazed as he looked at the effect of the medicinal pill . It might have only be 50%, but this kind of medicinal pill was specially prepared for high ranked warriors . If low grade warriors were to use it, it would just be a reckless waste of natural resources .

“If everything goes on smoothly, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to succeed in refining it . But I can’t guarantee you 100% . Decide it for yourself . ” Qing Shui said with a smile .

“Will there be 60% chance of success if we use the Golden Snake Grass?” The girl asked .

“Yes . ”

“Alright then, let’s refine it . If it fails, I’ll only count it as me having a bad luck . ” The girl said firmly .

“This is for you . ” The girl handed over the Blackmoon Star to Qing Shui .

“What’s wrong? Are you scared that I may only refine the medicine half-heartedly?” Qing Shui smiled and said .

The girl blushed and smiled . “Isn’t this for helping you calm down your mind in advance? If you really succeeded in refining it, I will share a bit with you . If there is only one of them, I won’t give it to you . ”

“How about if I managed to refine two?” Qing Shui realized that this girl had quite a decent personality .

The little girl was in a dilemma for quite a while . “If there are two, I’ll share one with you . ”

“Alright, if there are only two, I won’t really demand any of them from you . Don’t worry about it . Once I succeed in refining them, I will deduct them from from the fee . We will meet here again tomorrow at the same time . I just live there . ” Qing Shui pointed at the Imperial City Inn which was located not so far away .

The girl should be someone from the Royal Family . Hence, she should feel really safe staying in the Imperial City Inn .
