Zhang Mu looked at the other two treasures with lingering interest, shook his head, looked at No. 37 and said silently, "Really can't buy on credit?"

The wine glass in No. 37's hand shook, and he staggered. He looked at Zhang Mu and said, "What do you think?"

Zhang Mu shrugged nonchalantly and said, "I'm just asking, why are you reacting so strongly?"

If that doesn't work, I'll choose the second-level mutant plant seeds."

As for the reason, Zhang Mu made up his mind after careful consideration.

The Blood Vine Lotus is the origin of wood mentioned by the White Tiger, but it is still motionless within the first level.

He wanted to discover more abilities of the Blood Vine Lotus, and the first-level Blood Vine Lotus was already so helpful to him. If it were to advance further, his abilities would surely expand again.

As for the other two, I had to give up with reluctance. If I had known earlier, I should have accumulated some inventory to trade with No. 37.

Number 37 was now eager for Zhang Mu to leave quickly. He didn't even ask him if he needed other universal goods of the Era. Without saying a word, he directly urged the mechanical list to start, and peeled out a star-like ball of light from it.

The flying ball of light landed steadily on Zhang Mu's palm, dissipating all its brilliance, and lying quietly was a plant seed that looked like an apple seed.

"Number 001, Jiyuan Junior Agent Merchant, has confirmed the opening authority, enjoys a 20% discount, and receives a total of 48,000 first-level crystals from you."

"The transaction of Jiyuan is completed. I wish you a happy life."

As the voice fell, the golden list instantly transformed into a random beam of light, radiating out in all directions.

, returned to its original position.

Zhang Mu looked at the plain apple seed in his hand, and then at the empty space in the Epoch Merchant's ring that was originally filled with first-level crystals. He felt like crying but had no tears.

Is this apple seed a seed of a second-order mutant plant? Or is it an aggressive one?

In the past, this type of goods were monopolized by the Epochal agents who were ahead in the order. When it was his turn, the inventory was basically zero. Zhang Mu had never come into contact with this specific situation.

As if seeing Zhang Mu's worry, No. 37 explained, "These are all randomly distributed types, and I can't decide. But you don't have to worry about the quality, it's guaranteed. Besides, it's just a seed, what kind of strange shape can it have?"

Now, Zhang Mu, seeing that he had obtained the things, held the seeds tightly in his palm. He could not wait to return to the camp and complete the advancement of the Blood Vine Lotus. He then said goodbye to No. 37, exited the overlapping space where the Epoch Store was located, and returned to the camp quietly.

After calming down the mutant wolfhound that sensed Zhang Mu's approach, Zhang Mu quietly walked into his own courtyard and sat cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard.

Looking at the plant seeds in his hand again, Zhang Mu felt that the blood vine lotus in his left arm could no longer be suppressed and wanted to come out immediately.

Zhang Mu could clearly feel the tip of its vine slowly touching his skin, and it might break out of the shell at any second.

He could feel the impulse of the Blood Vine Lotus, but this impulse was not in line with Zhang Mu's will. It somewhat wanted to go beyond Zhang Mu's will.

However, this is not what Zhang Mu wants.

After calming down and concentrating his mind, Zhang Mu controlled the agitation of the Blood Vine Lotus. Now that it was not its turn to make the decision, he sent his mental power towards his left arm.

Suppress it and forcibly block the blood vine lotus's instinctive primitive impulse.

I can give you things, but remember, they are given to you by me and you can't take them away.

This was the will that Zhang Mu imposed on the Blood Vine Lotus over and over again, regardless of whether it could understand or not, and he kept repeating it without stopping.

But it should have understood, because the left arm had stopped moving, and the Blood Vine Lotus did not give Zhang Mu any feedback, seeming to be a little angry.

In its simple mind, it didn't understand why Zhang Mu was now starting to restrict it so much. Zhang Mu was not like this before. It wanted blood food and wanted to come out of Zhang Mu's body to find food. He had never refused it before.

But now this man began to put shackles on it.

Just like a little child who had become arrogant, it was completely silent, its main body remained silent, and it cut off communication with Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu now felt like he had been pulled out of a steam room. The fight against the Blood Vine Lotus was too exhausting and the loss of his mental strength was huge.

He certainly had his reasons for doing so. Baihu's confusing words had made him wary, and coupled with No. 36's advice, he began to consciously control Blood Vine Lotus's thoughts.

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Mu wanted to call the Blood Vine Lotus again, but it refused to come out and did not respond to Zhang Mu at all. It was as if it was in deep sleep and there was no sound.

You didn’t give it to me just now, and even if you give it to me now, I wouldn’t want it.

How come he is really like a five or six-year-old kid?

Zhang Mu also had a bitter smile on his face. He took out the obsidian dagger helplessly, cut a long cut on his left forearm, and then placed the mutant plant seed against his skin.

After a while, the apple seed slowly sank.
