"What do you need, young master?"

On an incredibly bustling street in the Jialan Imperial Capital, Ling Yuwei curiously looked at Lin Yi:

"Master Lin Yi, are you also interested in alchemy?"

Lin Yi looked at the materials placed on the ground by the stall owner, then shook his head and said:

"Not really, just looking out of curiosity."

After saying that, Lin Yi was about to leave, but the stall owner anxiously called out:

"Hey, hey, hey, young master, don't go!"

"If you want to buy them all, I can give you half off."

Faced with the stall owner's plea, Lin Yi left without even turning his head.

Just then, a deep voice called out:

"Steamed buns, freshly steamed hot buns!"

[White Steamed Bun]

Consumable

Increases Life Value by 10 upon consumption.

[Sugar Heart Steamed Bun]

Consumable

Increases Life Value by 14 upon use.

...

"Monster eggs, high-level monster eggs, mages without a Contracted Beast, come and take a look."

"Wow, it's really a monster egg! What luck this guy has, to stumble upon monster eggs."

"Let's go, let's check it out."

"Only two monster eggs in total, 10,000 Gold Coins each, non-negotiable."

"If you think it's expensive, you can check it out at Linlang Pavilion in the Imperial Capital and then come back."

[Intermediate Pet Egg]

Combat Pet

Unhatched/Contractible

[Low-level Pet Egg]

Combat Pet

Unhatched/Contractible

Standing amidst the continuous stream of people, Ling Yuwei curiously looked at Lin Yi:

"Master Lin Yi, do you have your own Contracted Beast?"

(On the Nine Nether Continent, every mage can contract a demon as their Contracted Beast.)

To Lin Yi, this Contracted Beast was essentially a Combat Pet.

This made Lin Yi think of the Golden Behemoth still in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, and naturally, he answered:

"Yes!"

Lin Yi looked at the stall crowded with people and smiled slightly.

A Combat Pet hatched from an [Intermediate Pet Egg] can only reach up to Lv40 Fourth Transformation, which is far from the stall owner's claim of a [High-level Monster].

Not to mention the one that can only reach Lv20 from a [Low-level Pet Egg].

Of course.

If the monster levels here and the Combat Pet levels on the Rafam Continent are the same.

Hearing Lin Yi say he has one, Ling Yuwei wasn't the least bit surprised but instead continued to lead the way ahead, saying:

"Then, Master Lin Yi, this way please."

At this moment, Lin Yi, like Granny Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, was filled with curiosity about the things sold on the street sides.

Things that were commonplace to Ling Yuwei transformed into data displayed before Lin Yi's eyes.

Although there's nothing particularly novel about this on the Rafam Continent.

But here.

Lin Yi felt like he was playing a game for the first time, with an exceedingly strong curiosity about everything.

Here, Lin Yi could see many familiar items from the Rafam Continent.

And he could also discover many unique and refreshing objects not found on the Rafam Continent.

Just then, a stall beside the street caught Lin Yi's attention:

"Hold on a moment."

Ling Yuwei stopped in surprise:

"What's up?"

But just as she turned around, she saw Lin Yi squatting down at a roadside stall.

Seeing that the stall was filled with somewhat damaged magic equipment, a trace of disdain naturally flickered across Ling Yuwei's face.

As the largest chamber of commerce on the Nine Nether Continent, Linlang Pavilion.

Ling Yuwei had seen countless superior magic equipment since she was young.

Under such an environment of being influenced by what she heard and saw, she naturally had no interest in those damaged magic equipment on the street stalls.

But it seemed Lin Yi was extremely interested in something there.

Ling Yuwei naturally couldn't dampen Lin Yi's enthusiasm, so she stood by quietly waiting.

Lin Yi squatted by the stall and picked up a ring.

The blue gemstone inlaid in the ring was already covered with cracked lines.

At a glance, it was a useless defective product, but Lin Yi's face showed an expression of surprise.

He held the ring and asked the stall owner:

"How much is this?"

The vendor was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.

Dressed as an adventurer, the badge on his chest indicated his identity as a level 3 intermediate sword master.

However, the most striking first impression Lin Yi had of this person was his eyes.

Brian stared at Lin Yi for a long time, then looked at the ring in Lin Yi's hand and said:

"One thousand gold coins, not a single coin less."

At this moment, before Lin Yi could speak, Ling Yuwei was already startled:

"A thousand gold coins? How can it be worth so much?"

Looking at the ring in Lin Yi's hand, Ling Yuwei said disdainfully:

"Even if it's a spiritual artifact, its damage area has already reached over 80%."

"Clearly, this is a magic equipment that can no longer be repaired and is about to lose its spiritual power."

"In my opinion, it's only worth 50 gold coins at most."

She seemed to be speaking to the vendor, Brian, but in fact, she was reminding Lin Yi not to be fooled.

How could Lin Yi not understand this?

Moreover, Lin Yi also knew that the price was obviously set high by the vendor because he saw Lin Yi's interest.

But before Lin Yi could speak, Brian suddenly looked at Ling Yuwei with a teasing expression and said:

"Finished speaking?"

Ling Yuwei was taken aback:

"Finished."

Then Brian extended his hand toward Lin Yi and said:

"If you're not buying, move on, don't interfere with my business."

However, just as the man was about to take the ring from Lin Yi's hand, Lin Yi dodged and smiled:

"I didn't say I wouldn't buy it."

Bright looked rather impatiently at the man before him:

"I think I made it very clear, even if you give me 500 gold coins, I won't sell it."

"Let alone 50 gold coins."

However, Lin Yi replied:

"A thousand gold coins it is, I'll buy it."

Saying this, Lin Yi looked towards Ling Yuwei:

"Do you have any gold coins with you? Let me borrow some, I'll pay you back later."

Ling Yuwei looked at Lin Yi in disbelief:

"Master Lin Yi, are you sure you want to spend a thousand gold coins on this... magic equipment?"

Lin Yi affirmed:

"I'm sure."

Then Lin Yi glanced at the ring in his hand:

[Tuxik's Love]

Jewelry

Tier: Epic

Durability: 9/100 (Equipment damaged and cannot be repaired)

Physical Attack: 132-548 (-80%)

Magic Attack: 90-450 (-80%)

Intelligence +15 (-80%)

Power +15 (-80%)

Usage Level: 41

Additional Attribute 1: Life Value +2000 (-80%)

Additional Passive Skill: [Tuxic's Blessing] Dripping three drops of essential blood can grant the holder Tuxic's blessing, permanently increasing all attributes by 5%.

Special Limitation: After triggering the [Tuxic's Blessing] passive, native residents of the Nine Nether Continent using it can assist in breaking through the bottleneck for professions below Lv60.

Special Limitation: Female

Note: After triggering the [Tuxic's Blessing] passive, the equipment is destroyed.

Introduction: "A masterpiece painstakingly crafted by Tuxic for love, worth a fortune."

In this equipment, obviously, its most valuable feature is the [Tuxic's Blessing] passive.

Lin Yi was interested not in the 5% attribute boost but in the special attribute of helping natives break through bottlenecks.

Because whether it's the Rafam Continent or the Nine Nether Continent.

These residents do not level up like players by continuously gaining experience and have no concept of bottlenecks.

Just like if they are at Lv39, about to break through to Lv40 for the fourth transformation.

If they cannot break through the Lv39 bottleneck, it would mean they will be stuck at Lv39 forever, never reaching Lv40 for the fourth transformation.

Clearly for players like Lin Yi, this ring's significance is only in that 5% all attribute boost.

But for the natives, this might be a crucial opportunity to change their life's fate.

However, a price of a thousand gold coins is quite cheap.

If this attribute were auctioned, its value would definitely be in the millions, or even more.

At this moment, Lin Yi didn't want to know why no one had triggered this attribute until now, but at present, someone needed its capability.

Previously, during a side quest in Celestial Feather City, Lin Yi gained a new ability, which was:

[Ling Yuwei] Unlocked

Profession: Fifth Transformation Dharma King/Lv59

Life Value: 50000/50000

Mana: 90000/90000

Lin Yi thought: 'If I give her this ring, it should help her break through to Lv60 for a complete sixth transformation.'
