Chapter 163: False branch of life? (4.2k)
You must know that although Xilin has a certain foundation before, she is just a novice knight.
It has been less than half a month since I practiced the Sun Breathing Method, and I have already reached the limit of being a trainee knight.
His speed of improvement is considered to be among the top knight geniuses in the empire.
After testing out the first application method of fifth-level life affinity, Yihua, who was slightly satisfied, said goodbye to Siren and Walter and went directly to the college's market.
Through the perception of life energy, along the way, Yihua saw the thick or light particles of life energy in the bodies of each wizard apprentice.
This means different physical strengths for these apprentices.
After observation, Yihua also concluded that if the wizard apprentice is in a meditative state and a large number of life energy particles gather, it can be judged that the other party has life affinity.
The more life energy particles are gathered, the higher the opponent's wizard level and life affinity are.
If the target is releasing witchcraft, you can also judge from the concentration of life energy particles that the other party is using life-based witchcraft.
A quarter of an hour later, Yihua arrived at the market and randomly found a stall.
"How do you sell this?"
He randomly picked up a purple plant containing tiny life particles and asked the middle-aged third-class apprentice vendor sitting in the stall.
"That's snake grass. It has a certain effect on accelerating the knight's breathing method. It sells for 26 crystal coins." "What about this one?"
Yi
Hua's eyes widened when he heard the price quoted by the middle-aged third-class apprentice. Blinking, he pointed his finger at a fist-sized, transparent crystal-like object in the corner where a large amount of debris was piled up.
In Yihua's perception, the transparent crystal contains a large number of life particles that are almost as large as those of ordinary formal knights.
"That one seems to be an ordinary transparent crystal with very few impurities. It can be easily enchanted. If you want it, I'll sell it to you for five crystal coins." After hearing the price quoted by the middle-aged third-class apprentice, Yi
Hua His eyes glanced back and forth from the snake plant that contained little life energy but was quoted at 26 crystal coins, and the transparent crystal that contained a lot of life energy and was priced at only 5 crystal coins.
There is not a single fifth-class apprentice in the entire academy.
In addition, the life energy in the transparent crystal is deeply hidden, and other apprentices can only identify things within their own knowledge.
Items like transparent crystals with unknown origins, no obvious energy fluctuations, and seemingly low value were naturally regarded as bargains by the third-class middle-aged apprentice in front of them.
"I didn't expect that the fifth-level qualifications can also identify hidden treasures! Currently, with the fifth-level life affinity, I can only identify secret treasures containing life energy particles. If all the qualifications are upgraded to the fifth-level level..." Test
again Yihua, who had obtained an important ability for fifth-level qualifications and realized that there were bargains to be found, suppressed the joy in his heart.
With a calm look on his face, Yi Hua asked about a few items of low value again. In the end, Yihua spent dozens of crystal coins to buy a few items that looked ordinary and had equally low value as cover.
He bought the transparent crystal that contained official knight-level life energy and was worth several witch crystals, but only sold for five crystal coins.
By confusing the audience, Yihua's purchase of the clear crystal did not arouse the suspicion of the middle-aged third-class apprentice.
After packing, the middle-aged apprentice approached and handed Yihua the materials.
Seeing the handsome-looking Yihua with gray-white hair hanging down to his ears in front of him, the middle-aged third-class apprentice felt more and more familiar. After a moment, he looked stunned.
"Huh? Aren't you the Ihua Fersis who killed the Bloody Hand in this college competition and won the top three in the competition?"
Seeing that the third-class middle-aged apprentice recognized him, Yihua was not surprised. After all, he stole the show in the academy competition. Most of the apprentices in the academy who have watched the competition now probably know the name Yihua.
There was no need for him to deny it, so he simply nodded to the third-class apprentice, acknowledging his identity.
As if hearing the voice of the middle-aged third-class apprentice, the surrounding vendors and passing apprentices all turned their attention to Yihua.
Envy, admiration, surprise and disgust, all kinds of different reactions came into Yihua's eyes.
Some apprentices even came forward, trying to be polite to Yihua and establish a relationship with Yihua.
"It seems that being famous is not necessarily a good thing."
Yihua frowned. On normal days, he might have stayed to promote the Illuminati.
But what is more important at this time is to complete the ritual of the third-level half-dead shaman body and enslave the fourth-level undead and dead men.
Yihua, who was not planning to stay long, sent away a few polite apprentices and planned to leave the market to finish the test for fifth-level qualifications.
Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a loud noise not far away.
"I obviously took a fancy to this item first. I've already paid for it. Why do you take it away?"
At a stall selling a large number of knight-related items, a young man wearing a silver cross badge of the Illuminati Waiting for the apprentice, he shouted angrily at several apprentices on the side.
"Why? Just because I'm from Freemasonry! Do you know that Melkor Fabuti, who was among the top three in the academy competition before? That's our president!" Several
second-class apprentices, wearing the scarlet of Freemasonry With a vertical pupil badge and a mocking look on his face, he said contemptuously to the young Illuminati apprentice.
After saying that, one of the leaders, a second-class apprentice of the Dead Fish Eye Freemasonry, turned to look at the stall owner who was also a young second-class apprentice, and said casually: "
Stall owner, you should return the Wu Jing to this guy. , our Masonic apprentices are much richer than the poor guy from this unknown small organization, and we are willing to pay double the price to buy this branch of life!” After hearing the words of the fish-eyed Masonic
apprentice, the man who seemed to He was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't resist being driven by interests, and a look of greed flashed across his face.
"I won't sell it to you anymore. Give me the branch of life!"
Without asking for the other party's opinion, the stall owner took the branch of life that he had already bought from the hands of the young Illuminati apprentice, and then gave it to him. The twenty witch crystals collected were returned to the young apprentices of the Illuminati.
"You!"
Looking at the fish-eyed Masonic apprentice, he took out a bag filled with forty witch crystals, waved it in front of his eyes, handed it to the stall owner, and exchanged it for the one he had just held in his hand. Scene of branches of life.
The Illuminati apprentice's blood suddenly surged, and he wanted to punch the stall owner who had gone back on his word and the fish-eyed Freemason apprentice who was fighting for love to the ground.
His name is Levi. As one of the first batch of apprentices who was personally pulled into the Illuminati by Yi Hua more than a month ago, he has truly felt the difference between the Illuminati and other organizations and has made huge profits. Therefore, he is firmly loyal to the Illuminati. Don't move.
Yesterday, the performance of Yi Hua, the vice president of the Illuminati, in the competition also made Levi's admiration for Yi Hua even higher.
In order to imitate Yi Hua, he also began to collect materials related to knight training, and even purchased the knight breathing method, preparing to train as a knight at the same time.
As a result, he learned about the secret treasure "Life Branch" that can greatly enhance life energy.
Today, when I went to the market to buy the materials needed for knight training, I accidentally encountered something that looked like a tree branch of life.
After talking to the vendor, he confirmed that this emerald green branch as long as a little finger is the branch of life.
Li Wei, who believed that his fortune was in good hands, immediately reluctantly took out most of his savings and tried to buy this branch of life.
Just before the buyer had time to leave, he encountered several hostile Masonic apprentices who came by chance, which led to the previous scene.
"The branch of life?"
Yi Hua, who was not far away, heard the name, thought about it, and decided to step forward to check it out.
He had previously obtained two branches of life in Youle City and Baron Rafal, each of which contained life energy comparable to that of a great knight.
Through the life essence extracted from these two branches of life, Yihua's progress in the Great Knight stage has been rapid.
This also made him still obsessed with life branches after the life essence was exhausted, and he collected them everywhere.
Unexpectedly, I heard news about the Branch of Life from the market today.
Levi, who was standing in front of the stall, and several Masonic apprentices also saw Yihua.
"Sir Vice-President!"
Seeing the Vice-President whom he admired appeared in front of him, and recalling Yihua's previous appearance in the battle, Li Wei showed joy on his face and bowed respectfully. .
At the same time, several Masonic apprentices who saw Yi Hua's familiar face recalled the scene of Vice President Xue Hand being beheaded by the opponent in public on the field. They were shocked, took a few steps back and subconsciously said: "Yes
. You!"
Ignoring several Masonic apprentices, Yihua looked at Li Wei, who was born in the Illuminati, and asked casually:
"What happened just now?"
Upon hearing Yihua's inquiry, Li Wei briefly and comprehensively explained what happened before Tell Yihua everything.
After hearing Levi's description, Yihua turned his attention to the branch of life in the hand of the dead fish-eyed Freemason apprentice.
The strange thing is that it contains a huge amount of life energy. From the perspective of Yihua's fifth-level life affinity, it should be a life branch that emits bright white light.
But like a stubborn stone on the roadside, it was dark and without any light.
Yihua subconsciously turned his gaze to the clear crystal he found in his hand.
I saw that the transparent crystal was different from the life branch, exuding soft white light. Based on the brightness, Yihua could confirm that the life energy contained in it was comparable to that of a formal knight.
After ruling out problems with the energy perception of the fifth-level affinity, Yihua turned his perspective to the stall of the second-level apprentice.
Among the dozens of products densely packed on the stall, only four or five contained life energy, and only one of them reached the level of a formal knight.
"Could it be that the branch of life is fake?"
Yihua murmured in his heart, and then tried to ask the vendor for the branch of life for a closer look.
At this time, the vendor also recognized Yihua's identity. After realizing that Yihua seemed to be related to Li Wei, who had betrayed him and asked for the tree of life, he decisively agreed to Yihua's request.
After close contact, Yihua checked the life energy of the Earth Knight and confirmed the status of the life branch in his hand.
"It is indeed a branch of life, but there is no life energy in it. It is just a piece of dead wood that has been processed and looks similar to the one before the life energy was extracted. By the way, does this count as selling fakes?" After realizing the truth,
Yihua He lost interest in this living branch and looked at the second-class apprentice selling this dead wood with some amusement.
The other party didn't seem to notice Yi Hua's amusement, and replied tremblingly:
"Your Excellency Fersis, it's all my fault. I will return the branch of life to this brother."
"No need."
Yi Hua didn't either. The idea of exposing the authenticity of the branch of life in public, and picked up several items containing life energy that he had seen earlier on the stall.
After asking, the prices of several of the items ranged from a few witch crystals to a dozen witch crystals.
The life energy contained in it is completely different from its selling price.
"What about this flower?"
Seeing that the preparation was almost complete, Yihua pointed at a white flower that contained the most life energy and was comparable to a formal knight.
"This is the 'White Dawn'. It is said that it has the effect of improving the training of formal knights. It sells for one witch crystal."
As a relatively cheap and common material for knight training, Yihua has also heard that he has even used White Dawn. Material.
But according to Yihua's experience, the life energy in the white dawn flower is no more than a trainee knight level. The 'white dawn' in front of him is enough to assist the master knight in his practice. It is obviously not an ordinary white dawn flower.
"Is it a mutated variety? Looking at the faint golden threads on the petals of this 'White Dawn', Yihua thought in his heart. The price of
a witch crystal is much higher than that of an ordinary White Dawn. , the street vendor is suspected of deceiving the ignorant apprentice.
But if it is placed on this mutated flower that contains ten times the life energy of the ordinary white dawn, it seems extremely cheap.
Realizing that I have been in affinity through the fifth-level life, I discovered another kind of Yihua, who hid the secret treasure, immediately bought the mutated white dawn.
After that, he did not leave the market directly.
He also planned to hand over the transparent crystal and other materials he had purchased previously to Gabriel, Valta and others. People use it.
For Yihua, who has been promoted to the knight of the earth, it must be at least a secret treasure like the branch of life, which contains life energy and reaches the level of a great knight, in order to accelerate the accumulation of life energy. The transparent crystal containing life energy is only equivalent to that of a formal knight
. And the mutated white dawn provided almost no effect.
So, he turned around and said to Li Wei on the side:
"Li Wei, if you can trust me, give up buying the branch of life and spend a witch crystal , bought this 'White Dawn'. "
Hearing Yihua's speech, several people present froze on the spot, with a lot of thoughts in their hearts.
Several Masonic apprentices started talking in low voices on the side.
"Could it be said that Yihua is afraid of President Melkor's strength? Dare to compete with us for the branch of life? "
That's for sure. President Melkor's strength is not comparable to that of Vice-President Bloodhand!" The previous killing of the Bloody Hand Vice-Guild Leader must have frightened him. His actions just now were an attempt to ease the relationship with us! "
It's a pity that it's too late. Lord Melkor has already decided to kill Yihua. The next competition will be the day of his death!" "
Several Masonic apprentices thought they understood Yihua's thoughts. The fish-eyed apprentice's eyes flashed, he took a few steps forward, and sarcastically said to Li Wei:
"Abandon the purchase? It should be said that they don’t dare to compete with our Freemasons, right? "
"As far as I know, White Dawn usually sells for only a few dozen crystal coins, but your boss spent the price of one witch crystal. Now he clearly realizes that he paid too much for it, and is trying to sell it to you to stop the loss! ”
