Zong Shen patted his own head!

A golden business opportunity was right beside him!

He had just browsed through the Market and hadn't found a single item capable of restoring health points.

As for potions, they simply didn't exist.

There were plenty of herbs and raw materials, but without recipes and specific buildings, it was impossible to craft potions.

However, what other lords lacked, he had!

Zong Shen might not have potions, but he had a Moon Well!

1ml of Moon Spring Water could restore 1.2 health points, and the effect was immediate!

The most crucial part was that the Moon Well produced Moon Spring Water every single moment.

It was essentially an inexhaustible "potion" manufacturing base.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen's expression was as if he had just picked up five million on the side of the road; the excitement and joy were practically overflowing from his face.

He ran quickly to the side of the Moon Well.

At this moment, the Moon Well had produced some more water; excluding what had been used for Colby's First Aid, there was still about 200ml left in the well.

Liquids could be traded in the [Market], and containers were not required.

Zong Shen stood by the Moon Well and began to calculate.

The general health of lords right now was likely between 120 and 180, and at most, it wouldn't exceed 200 points.

Therefore, listing them in 40ml portions would be most appropriate! It could restore 48 health points.

"The code to wealth! This Moon Well is the code to wealth!"

Zong Shen grew excited.

"However, I can't call it Moon Spring Water; that's too tacky!"

"The name of the listed item can be customized, so let's call it Tears of the Moon Goddess!"

"And I'll select the potion category for the tag!"

A Tier 1 [Market] could list a maximum of three items simultaneously.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen opened the [Crafting] menu right where he stood.

It took three minutes to craft a brand-new wooden bucket.

Then, he carefully scooped the Moon Spring Water into the bucket.

Carrying the bucket, he walked into the market.

He began to list the item.

[40ml Moon Spring Water]

[Custom Name: Tears of the Moon Goddess]

[Effect: Restores 48 HP upon consumption]

[Listing Price: Wood x100 / Iron x30 / Hemp x80 / Refined Food x15]

[Note: Seeking blueprints, skill books, and special materials; private message me to discuss]

Zong Shen listed one portion, specifying the types of resources accepted for trade.

100 Wood or 30 Iron.

Or alternatively, 80 Hemp and 15 Refined Food.

While this amount of resources was not insignificant, it was something most lords who had been diligent in gathering could afford, though it would certainly sting.

Some wealthy lords might even have a surplus after making the purchase.

After listing three portions of the Moon Spring Water, which he had renamed Tears of the Moon Goddess, Zong Shen turned back and returned to his cabin.

He prepared to check the status of his listings after waking up from a nap.

He would adjust the prices accordingly then.

At the same time, his private message channel began to flash frantically.

In just this short while, hundreds of private messages had appeared.

Fortunately, the chat function was well-designed; with just a thought, Zong Shen could filter for messages containing the keywords he wanted to see.

After checking, he found that the vast majority were useless junk messages.

The few who claimed to have blueprints only offered common, trash-tier ones.

For example, one was a [Tier 1 Wooden Bowl Blueprint].

There were also some who claimed to have special materials.

Zong Shen was left speechless after taking a look.

[Dried excrement of a Behemoth], [dandruff shed by a passing dragon], [animal bones gnawed on by a Two-headed Ogre]...

He glanced at them for a few moments, then directly closed the [Channel] and enabled Do Not Disturb and message filtering.

He lay down on the dilapidated wooden bed inside the small cabin.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, or perhaps because he was thick-skinned, he soon began to snore rhythmically.

When the second half of the night arrived, he would have to get up to keep watch!

Outside the courtyard, the howling of those wild beasts continued.

He could even hear the roars of two beasts fighting each other.

Some beasts had even approached the vicinity of the courtyard, but without exception, they were all killed instantly by Luna!

Among them were Grassland Wolves, Burrowing Rats, and Arrow Porcupines, all of which were common wild beasts.

Luna was able to deal with them easily.

They contributed some experience points to Zong Shen.

There were also dropped rewards and animal carcasses waiting for Zong Shen to collect.

Although Luna could kill them and trigger the drops, she could not pick them up.

The same applied to treasure chests.

Unopened treasure chests could only be opened by the lord, existing in a sort of alternative "invincible" state.

Throughout the entire night, no extraordinary fierce beasts appeared.

Those farmers endured the night in fear until late, only finally falling asleep from exhaustion.

The night was so quiet, though one wondered how many people could sleep soundly tonight.

In the second half of the night, Zong Shen was awakened by Luna.

Zong Shen took out his Kite Shield and sharp Germanic Sword and walked out of the courtyard, while Luna brought the Black Panther into the cabin to rest.

Fully armed, he stretched his back.

He began to check his notifications.

"The item you listed, [Tears of the Moon Goddess], has been purchased by lord Chen Xuan 1994718. You have received Iron ×30. Please go to the [Market] to collect it."

"The item you listed, [Tears of the Moon Goddess], has been purchased by lord Thomas 1991518. You have received Wood ×100. Please go to the [Market] to collect it."

"The item you listed, [Tears of the Moon Goddess], has been purchased by Lord Abraham1984323. You have received Refined Camel Jerky ×15. Please head to the [Market] to collect them."

Within half an hour of Zong Shen listing them, all three portions of Moon Spring Water were sold out!

It seems this Moon Spring Water is truly a hard currency.

It is a genuine, life-saving treasure.

Before high-efficiency First Aid supplies become widespread, it will have a massive market and be able to generate a great deal of wealth for Zong Shen.

Furthermore, the Moon Spring is an instant-recovery type.

In the heat of battle, it can rapidly heal wounds and change the outcome of a fight.

Its prospects and effects are both exceptionally prominent.

Zong Shen slept from 8:00 PM until 2:00 AM.

During these six hours, the Moon Spring produced another 300 milliliters of Moon Spring Water.

Wealth, this is nothing but wealth!

Zong Shen listed another three portions.

Following that, he saw the kill notifications from Luna.

At this time, Colby had also awakened.

His wounds and those of the Giant Wolf had fully recovered.

They began the work of "looting corpses."

Scavenging the items that had dropped.

At the same time, they also began butchering the beast carcasses.

[Butcher Grassland Wolf corpse ×1]

[Obtained Fresh Wolf Meat ×10]

[Obtained Hard Grassland Wolf Skull ×1]

[Butcher Burrowing Rat corpse ×1]

[Obtained Fresh Rat Meat ×6]

[Obtained Intact Burrowing Rat Pelt ×1]

[Decompose Arrow Porcupine corpse ×1]

[Obtained Sharp Arrow Spine ×13]

[Obtained Fresh Arrow Porcupine Meat ×5]

In addition, there were some ready-made items.

[Obtained Wolf Skin Armor ×1]

[Obtained Stiff Short Bow ×1]

[Obtained Primary Elemental Crystal ×1]

[Obtained Nord Shadow Scout Class Change Scroll ×1]
