After listening to Altair's words, Rosen slowly walked back behind the counter and said, "Wait here, I'll pack it up for you."

Before long, the Chubby had gathered a large batch of materials and asked in confusion, "How much do you need?"

Altair shrugged and said, "The more the better."

Upon hearing this, Rosen didn't hesitate to pack up all the medicinal herbs and hand them directly to Altair, saying, "All materials, 100 Gold Pound."

"These materials you packed are worth at most 80 Gold Pound. And don't think I don't know their value; some of the materials in these medicine packets have already begun to lose their Spirituality, yet you dare to sell them for such a high price," Altair mocked after hearing Rosen's words.

But her sarcasm had no effect on Rosen. The Chubby calmly explained, "If you just need normal materials, I will definitely sell them to you at the usual price."

"However, you and I both know perfectly well that this package contains some special prohibited items."

"And I believe that even if you search the entire Tingen City after you leave this door, you might not be able to gather all the items. In the end, you'll only be able to slink back to me and buy them. Besides, I also need to charge a confidentiality fee for these contraband items; after all, it's a win-win situation for everyone."

Faced with such a shameless excuse, Altair had no choice but to hand over the money. What Altair said was indeed true; some of the Spirituality materials were so rare that even through Extraordinary Gathering, they might not be able to be purchased.

For example, "Hemlock Juice," a highly toxic substance, is only available in extremely limited quantities at gatherings of Beyonder. "Black Corpse Mushroom," a "Blasphemous Object" cultivated from corpses, are not something anyone dares to sell openly.

After receiving the 100 -Gold Pound note, the Chubby Rosen began to crumple it incessantly, behaving as if he had never earned so much money at once before.

Seeing his expression, Altair looked grim and asked, "If I were to have you cultivate this Spirituality material in bulk, approximately how much material could you provide me per month?"

"That depends on where I place the planting area." Hearing Altair's words, Rosen sensed that this wasn't a one-off deal, and even felt an urge to cooperate with her. So, with a smile, he put away the banknotes and explained:

"You should also know that Spirituality materials are not like roadside weeds."

"They have extremely strict requirements for their surrounding environment during growth, and they also need to be given special 'fertilizer' from time to time, and they need to be protected from damage."

"These various stringent conditions limit the quantity I can harvest each time."

"Of course, if you want to buy these Spirituality materials from me long-term, we can sign an agreement. I guarantee I will sell them to you at a fair price, and in return, you will need to help me protect my plantation."

Looking at Rosen's expression, Altair couldn't help but ask curiously, "I'm just a Low Sequence ' Seer,' with practically no combat power. If I encounter something I can't handle, I'll definitely run faster than you. Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you out when I'm in danger?"

"Of course I've heard that ' Seer ' have no practical combat skills, but I'm sure you can find me a piece of land that won't be discovered. Am I telling you, Miss?" After saying this, Rosen adopted an air of knowing I had seen through everything.

"Alright then." Altair, as if seen through, said with a forced and helpless tone, "Do you have any requirements regarding the planting area?"

"There aren't any specific requirements, as long as it's not too far from the shop, it'll be convenient for me to take care of both places," Rosen said after thinking for a moment.

The two then discussed the plantation's planning requirements. Altair needed to help find land and provide some shelter, while Rosen would help her grow the necessary crops.

After Altair took the pre-packaged materials, walked out of "Rosen's Folk Herbal Shop," and boarded the carriage, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The Chubby didn't realize anything was wrong with him until he signed the "Notarized Document," and he really thought he was exceptionally intelligent.

Despite it being their first meeting and them not knowing each other at all, he dared to collaborate with her to jointly establish a plantation.

Although Altair hasn't yet advanced to Sequence Six and become a "Hypnotist," she can still perform simple "Mental Intervention." It's just that Rosen is really foolish; he actually dared to watch it.

When Rosen looked at Altair's Gem Necklace, he was given a simple Psychological Suggestion. All that was needed from Altair was a little prompting, and he would make a decision according to the pre-designed plan.

It can only be said that the "Spectator" is truly insidious; one can easily fall into its trap. This also proves that Roselle was right when he said, "Beware of the Spectator." When the "Mental Intervention" ends, it will be Rosen's turn to cry.

However, Rosen really felt that Altair should switch to the "Mother" Pathway, given his extensive experience in cultivation. But whether he would ultimately switch Pathway was none of Altair's concern.

At this moment, Altair's biggest concern was the "notarized" contract in her hand. Looking at the last few clauses, she couldn't help but want to laugh again.

"This contract shall be valid for 10 years from the date of signing and both parties shall fulfill their commitments as required."

Those who breach the contract Punishment of Burning Flames.

Ten years of free serfdom, and no worries about running away, how wonderful!

The god "Eternal Blazing Sun" is quite ironic, becoming God of Notarization through "betrayal and breach of contract."

But the undeniable fact is that the Authority of Notarization truly resides with "He". Notarized contracts created through the Sun Pathway are often the most binding.

Altair's idea for buying these Extraordinary Material was quite simple: "The Witch" Ma would surely make all sorts of strange and wonderful "Magic Potion."

After returning home, she planned to try making some special medicine from these materials. This type of medicine is characterized by its fast effect and strong side effects, and the side effects are not explained when it is sold.

For example, if long hours of overtime lead to anxiety, you can take a Sleeping Potion to ensure you fall asleep immediately. Of course, when you wake up the next day and whether you'll miss work is not something the pill can determine.

For example, if you buy a Weight Loss Potion to lose weight, after taking it, the side effects will cause you to have constant diarrhea, requiring you to stay in the toilet all day.

For example, there's a "Hair Growth Potion" that makes all the body hair grow continuously until it becomes like a curly-haired baboon.
