Chapter 351: Purchase and Consumption

Following that, the female receptionist’s expression became even more enthusiastic. She bowed and was about to move to Lugh.

The medicine related to the restoration of the familiars’ space were all expensive treasures. They needed to be very expensive, so they needed to store them carefully in order to prevent them from being lost.

The entire medicine shop occupied a large area. After walking for a long time, they arrived in front of an iron door. After the female receptionist pressed the secret compartment on the wall on the left side of the door, the iron door slowly opened.

Inside the door was a relatively small secret room. Under the illumination of the bright and special candlelight, the room appeared very bright.

There was a glass window in the secret room, and a black chair was placed in front of the window.

In the glass window sat a white-bearded old man with his chin propped up.

His head paused for a while, and it was obvious that he looked like he was about to sleep.

“Mr. Lugh, please come in,” the female receptionist shouted into the room, directly waking up the white-bearded old man who was still drooling.

Then, she reached out her hand and signaled Lugh to enter the secret room.

Lugh nodded and entered the secret room. After he entered, the door of the secret room began to slowly close.

“I wish you a happy meal.” The female receptionist’s voice came from the door. The iron door also slowly closed after she finished her words.

After Lugh sat down, he looked at the old man in the glass window and muttered something with a dissatisfied face.

It was obvious that he was very displeased that he had been woken up.

However, after muttering a few words in a low voice, Smith shifted his gaze to the guest that day.

A young man dressed like a commoner had actually come to the consultation room that specialized in selling expensive medicine.

Smith revealed a hint of doubt.

“I want to buy some medicine to treat the damage to the familiar space,” Lugh said directly. Facing the old man’s scrutinizing gaze, his expression did not change at all as he spoke indifferently.

The old man felt that the young man in front of him was somewhat different from the others, but the old man quickly withdrew his gaze and returned to his normal working and casual state. He said, “How much damage is it? How long has it been damaged?”

“En. During this period, have you gone to a professional medical center to receive treatment for the stability of the subdued beast space?” Smith pondered for a moment and continued to ask.

“I didn’t receive any professional system treatment.”

“This is a bit difficult. If the subdued beast space were to be damaged, it would be difficult for the subdued beast space to receive treatment. If there’s no treatment for a long time, the subdued beast space will lose its ability to receive the source energy contract, causing the transmission between its own source energy and the space to become even more difficult,” said Smith with a frown.

Lugh’s expression became a bit ugly as he said in a deep voice, “Can’t it be treated with medicine?”

“Yes, we can. It’s just the cost.” Smith looked at Lugh with a somewhat conflicted expression.

“How much would it cost?” Lugh asked.

“To nurture the subdued beast space and restore it away from active medicine. In addition to which part of the space is damaged, a conservative estimate puts the minimum cost at around 8,000 gold coins.” Smith’s words were shocking as he quoted a shocking price.

“8,000 gold coins…” Hearing this price, Lugh immediately furrowed his brows.

He hadn’t expected the price of repairing the space to be so expensive. The reward for the champion earlier was only 1,000 gold coins.

The five gold coins for the carriage, the entrance fee for the Cloud Medicine Pavilion, and the healing medicine he had bought earlier, totaled up to 251 gold coins. Now, Lugh still had to be careful with the money he had left, moreover, this amount of money was less than one-tenth of the cost of repairing the space medicine.

“Indeed, this price is a little too expensive. The main reason is that the space treatment of the injured person has been delayed for too long. Now, it’s already considered very cheap to completely repair these costs.” Seeing Lugh’s worried expression, Smith explained to Lugh.

“How about this, first give me a nourishing space to recover the source energy activity of the medicine,” Lugh said after a moment of silence.

After hearing Lugh’s request, Smith temporarily left the glass window.

Then, the sound of rummaging came from the window. It seemed that Smith was also selecting the medicine Lugh needed.

After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Smith returned to the glass window and took out a yellow talisman from his dry palm.

He said leisurely, “The medicine that allows the space to recover its source energy activity is much cheaper. This is a source gathering talisman made from various medicines. Stick it to your chest and use source energy to refine it before transferring it into the subdued beast space. Stick it once a day, one piece at a time. After three months, you can take the medicine to repair the space.”

“How much is it?”

“One piece for one gold. If you buy it for three months, the price will be close to 100 gold,” said Smith, stroking his white beard.

“I’ll buy the three months’ worth. Also, help me keep the medicine to repair the subdued beast space. I’ll come back to buy it in three months.” Without hesitation, Lugh stood up and bought the three months’ worth of genesis amulets.

Lugh wouldn’t be able to gather such a large sum of money in a short time.

He could only improve his strength as soon as possible before making any plans.

After looking at Lugh in surprise, Smith asked curiously, “Forgive me for saying too much, but can I ask if you’re the champion of Iron Cloud Village this year?”

Lugh did not hide anything. He nodded to show his identity as the champion.

“Hehe, I have seen many young people with the same status as you. You often spend the money you have given out on unnecessary things. I recommend that you invest a limited amount of money into the cultivation of source beasts. After you become stronger, you can think about him again.” Smith smiled and stroked his white beard, he kindly gave a word of advice to Lugh.

“Thank you for your advice, Elder. Lugh will remember it.” Smith’s words were exactly what Lugh had thought in his heart. Lugh naturally knew this kind of simple and easy-to-understand logic.

“If there are no other needs, then this transaction ends here. I will get someone to pack the amulet and send it to you.” Smith handed the amulet in his hand to a servant at the side. After giving a few instructions, then, he turned around and ended the transaction with a smile.

After leaving the house, the female receptionist handed the medicine that had already been packed to Lugh.

Lugh did not inspect it too much and stored all these things in his space.

When he was about to pay, Lugh seemed to have thought of something.

He asked the female receptionist, “Excuse me, is there a place to sell Source Energy Grass here?”

The female receptionist was stunned for a moment before she replied, “Yes.”

Source Energy Grass was a very low-grade grade-9 herb. It was used as a basic medicinal herb for making medicinal pills. Eating it directly could speed up the recovery of source energy.

Source Energy Grass was an ordinary medicinal herb that was sold in the lower-grade areas. This medicinal shop did not have a label for this herb.

However, on account of Lugh’s generosity, the female receptionist decided to sell some Source Energy Grass.

After all, any pharmacy would have a portion of this common herb in stock.

“In that case, prepare 500 stalks for me.”

“500 stalks?” The female receptionist asked in surprise, wondering if she had heard wrong.

Although the source energy grass was only worth 10 silver per stalk, the amount of demand was indeed huge. If converted into gold coins, the haul would be around 50 gold coins.

Coins could be divided into copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.

According to the exchange rate of 100 : 1, for example, one hundred copper coins could be exchanged for one silver coin, one hundred silver coins could be exchanged for one gold coin, and so on.

“Yes, five hundred Source Energy Grass. These Source Energy Grass are used by me to refine medicine,” Lugh replied.

‘An alchemist wouldn’t need so many source energy grass, right…’ The female receptionist thought to herself.

Although many medicinal pills required Source Energy Grass to neutralize the medicinal properties, the number of five hundred stalks was really quite astonishing.

However, the female receptionist wasn’t overly suspicious of Lugh’s identity as an alchemist.

After all, this occupation was too common. Low-level alchemists didn’t have much of a barrier to entry compared to ordinary lifestyle occupations.

The female receptionist didn’t ask any more questions. Only alchemists above grade eight stepped into the threshold of a high-class occupation.

The female receptionist did not ask any more questions. She packed the Source Energy Grass into a big box and handed it to Lugh.

Lugh put the box into the storage bag. The storage space of the storage bag was also full, almost to the point of being full.

“Sir, please wait a moment.” After paying the money, Lugh was about to leave when he heard the female receptionist call out to Lugh.

“What?” Lugh stopped.
