Chapter 92 Mortgaging Talent in Exchange for Immortality
I bought it!
The money comes from the sheep's back; she just got ten thousand catties of gold from the Su family, she can afford it! Besides, the Undying Heart best suits her needs! As long as she can make Yu Xunhuan suffer unbearable pain, what's two thousand gold coins?
Just as Yu Xunge was about to take out her money, she remembered that many alchemy recipes required gold, so she asked, "Do you buy gold?"
Hedgehog shook his head: "We don't need it."
Yu Xunge deftly took out 2,500 gold coins and handed them to Hedgehog.
Yu Xunge's personality is like this, and even if she is reborn, it is hard to change. She is generous to those who are good to her. In those years, she gave half of the money she earned to the Yu family. Only people like Yu Xunhuan and Yu Qingshan were not satisfied. In fact, those who know Yu Xunge's behavior all say that she is generous, and some even say that she is stupid.
She felt the same way about Hufflepuff. It wasn't a matter of trust or distrust, but rather that, in her view, a master of Hufflepuff's caliber being willing to teach her was an invaluable opportunity. She would pay whatever Hufflepuff asked for, without even considering checking the auction house to see if it would be cheaper.
Hedgehog accepted the money in a good mood. As he handed her the Mantra of Redemption, he also tossed her a dark gray crystal. She did things as she pleased, and once she took a liking to someone, she liked to give them something: "Here, take this and play with it."
Before Yu Xunge could even check the information on the Redemption Mantra and the Undying Heart, she reached out and took the dark gray round crystal, which was about 2 centimeters thick and about the size of a hamburger patty.
【Medicine Residue Rice Crust】(Rare Item): A flawed item made from alchemical residue after a failed alchemy attempt. It was created by a master alchemist. Throwing it into the fire while cooking may cause the dish to mutate, but the mutation effect is unknown.
Unlike props and equipment, rare items have no levels because their effects are unknown. They can be good or bad, strong or weak, and are unpredictable. However, since it was made by Hufflepuff, even if it is trash, it is a treasure among trash. Yu Xunge put it away with a look of surprise.
After thanking Hufflepuff and watching her leave, she examined the bottle of golden liquid and the heart gem.
【Word of Redemption】: Grant the soul the power of holy light.
The description is extremely brief. If it weren't for Hufflepuff's explanation, an ordinary person would not know the value of this potion. However, there are many advanced alchemy recipes with only a brief description. Without some knowledge, even if you make it, you won't know how to use it.
Yu Xunge took the vial of medicine right there.
In an instant, she felt a mysterious and warm power surge up from the depths of her soul. This power then spread throughout her body like sound waves and then quickly disappeared.
She opened her character panel and saw a small golden shield next to her LD.
[Radiance of Ita]: You are protected by holy light.
When others are doing the riddles, I just want to vomit.
But when it's your turn to be the riddle solver, that's really fun.
Yu Xunge was very satisfied with the explanation, but she suddenly wondered if Hedgehog had dodged her question about whether alchemy could improve the level of divinely bestowed talents.
What happened to the promise that there's no problem that alchemy can't solve?
If you did hear it, just pretend you didn't, right?
Forget it, judging from her expression, it's unrealistic. Even if it were possible, the cost would be enormous. Otherwise, S-rank talents wouldn't be so rare on Zelan Star. In the entire Dark City, including the Dark City Lord Yu Xunge, only three S-rank divinely bestowed talents have been seen, with Hedgehog being one of them.
She then examined the black gem, which was the size of a baby's fist.
[Heart of Immortality]: Embed it into your heart, inscribe a curse, and sacrifice a portion of the power bestowed upon you by the gods in exchange for immortality. (Immortality: Health can never fall below 1)
A multitude of immoral thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.
Yu Xunge put away the Heart of Immortality with satisfaction.
Upon hearing Hufflepuff's three methods, her first reaction was to rule out the Mantra of Redemption. As for the Dark Deal, that was out of the question too. What if Lin Chengze regained his strength through the Dark Deal and made a comeback? Or what if he asked the demon to kill the person who gouged out his eyes during the Dark Deal? Wouldn't she be paying to kill herself?
Without much thought, the cursed gem is the best choice. As for Lin Chengze being able to profit from it and thus "not die," consider it compensation for gouging out his eyeballs.
Another day of being a living bodhisattva.
After dealing with her most pressing concerns, Yu Xunge continued browsing the auction house. Thinking about the dungeon screen in her villa, she considered buying something to hide it, but after looking at the prices, she felt they were all too expensive. Even the most cost-effective one cost several hundred gold coins, which wasn't worthwhile. The dungeon on the villa's rooftop was only valuable for the next six months; after that, it would become useless, and she would definitely hand it over to the official team for profit.
In fact, she may be handed over to the Special Affairs Bureau in two months.
She was fed up with Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo's constant coming over for meals, but the backyard cat was a real problem...
Yu Xunge simply ran back to the alchemy shop and described the portable immortal abode from the fantasy novels he had read before, asking if there was anything similar.
Hufflepuff gave her a strange look, as if he were eyeing a fat sheep: "Yes, a legendary engineering creation, a magic house. It can set rules, and if you want, you can keep it from being discovered by anyone. Do you want to buy it?"
Yu Xunge glanced at her savings of over 27,000 gold coins and asked confidently, "How much?"
Hufflepuff: "A legendary engineer takes about two years to complete. I saw one at the auction house last time. The starting price was 50,000 gold, and the buyout price was 100,000 gold."
Yu Xunge was silent for a few seconds, then said seriously, "Never mind, I don't have anything to hide. I suddenly feel that the place I live in now is pretty good."
Hedgehog squinted at Yu Xunge and said, "Didn't you also study engineering? A senior engineer can make a miniature one. If you turn into a fat cat, it'll be enough for you to live in."
Yu Xunge initially thought Hufflepuff was joking with her, and she even laughed and replied a few times. However, after returning to Blue Star, she thought about it more and more and felt that it was feasible. If the mini magic house could also have rules, she could make one and put it in the backyard, where only real cats could see and enter and exit. Then she could put the cat bed inside, and wouldn't all the problems be solved?
The question now is whether this cat-themed hostel is worth investing so much money in...
It's been so long, and there's been no return at all. It's like she bought a worthless fund; she's invested but hasn't seen any returns.
Thinking of this, Yu Xunge stopped farming and, after clearing out the monsters around him, went straight out of the dungeon to the backyard.
She crouched down and climbed into the cat's wooden villa, stroking around the cat's den. Ever since the cat's den mutated, she would come and rub it every few days, but she never found anything.
But perhaps because she had just complained in her mind about how this cat bed was a one-way street, she actually managed to touch something!
