'Earth Demon' Han Dan
Bell stuck his nose into the barrier and took a gentle sniff.
A fresh, grassy scent, mixed with a sweet aroma, wafted into his nostrils, instantly invigorating Bell. His mind, which had been somewhat groggy from lack of sleep the previous night, also cleared up.
Bell was very satisfied with the description of the Spirit Concentration Incense, which stated that it could calm the mind and improve the efficiency of cultivation and study.
"How long can such a Spirit Concentration Incense burn?"
Bell asked Shopkeeper Wang.
"This smallest model can burn for one shichen, which is two hours. If customers need more, we have models that can burn for 1 to 10 shichen. Each model costs 100 copper coins more than the previous one."
Shopkeeper Wang rubbed his hands together enthusiastically and began to introduce the product.
The Spirit Concentration Incense," also known as "Money-Burning Spirit Concentration Incense," costs 100 copper coins for the smallest stick, which doesn't seem like much. But the problem is, there are 12 two-hour periods in a day!
In other words, if you keep burning Spirit Concentration Incense, you'll burn more than one Gold Yuan a day! Moreover, the effective range of a single piece of Spirit Concentration Incense is not very large. Therefore, most people simply cannot afford such an expense.
(The currency used by Cultivator World in China consists of Gold Yuan, Silver Yuan, and copper coins. One Gold Yuan equals 10 Silver Yuan, and one Silver Yuan equals 100 copper coins. Additionally, one Galleon equals 1.3 Gold Yuan.)
"Then let's get 1000 of each model."
After Bell for a moment, Bell placed the order.
After the experience, Bell felt that the Spirit Concentration Incense was indeed quite effective. He thought that lighting one while researching magic would likely be helpful.
"How much?"
Shopkeeper Wang was so surprised he almost cracked his voice; he wondered if he had misheard.
"1000 sticks, 1000 of each kind."
Bell repeated the order details again.
Shopkeeper Wang silently turned his gaze to Bell's parents. He didn't think that a kid like Bell had the right to decide on such a huge transaction.
However, William and Elena were listening intently to the shop assistant introducing the store's products and paid no attention to what was happening here.
(Because Bell used Legilimency to connect with the shallow consciousness of his family members, they were able to understand the store clerk's explanations through Bell's ears.)
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Wang, I can handle this small matter."
Bell smiled, not paying any attention to the other person's little tricks.
He could understand Shopkeeper Wang's concerns. If it were the Malfoy family, and Draco dared to spend thousands of Gold Yuan without asking, Old Malfoy would probably fly into a rage on the spot.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Wang still seemed somewhat skeptical, Bell had no choice but to call his father over.
After his explanation, William nodded impatiently and went off to wander off again.
Watching his father chatting incoherently with a beautiful saleswoman, Bell couldn't tell if he was genuinely interested in the products or had designs on the saleswoman.
However, one thing Bell was certain of was that her mother's gaze was becoming increasingly dangerous.
I hope my father can return to Britain safely.
Bell silently offered a small prayer for his father, who was courting disaster.
After receiving William's affirmative reply, Shopkeeper Wang was extremely excited.
That's a sales volume of several thousand Gold Yuan!
You should know that under normal circumstances, he might not be able to sell this many goods in a week.
The magical artifacts on the second floor are valuable, with none priced below 1,000 Gold Yuan and some even costing tens of thousands. But the problem is, nobody buys them!
They might not be able to sell even one unit in a year.
"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. I'll have someone go get the goods right away. Han Dan Han Dan! Where are you, you lazy bum? Get out here and get to work!"
As the Shopkeeper Wang shouted, a creature more than 2 meters tall walked out of the shop.
This creature has four arms, is entirely milky white, and has green hair on its head that looks like small grass. It is chubby and gives people a cute feeling.
"Manager, Mr. Han Dan, I didn't slack off. Han Dan was just a little sleepy, so I took a nap. Sleeping doesn't count as slacking off, sleeping is..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't waste my breath! This distinguished guest wants to buy Spirit Concentration Incense, quickly bring out all the Spirit Concentration Incense in your inventory!"
Shopkeeper Wang rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. If he didn't have to pay wages, he would have fired this idiot who did nothing but eat and sleep immediately.
"Oh."
After Han Dan agreed, a vertical slit appeared on his stomach. Han Dan reached inside and groped around for a while before pulling out a large box.
"Gege! What's this cute big thing? Is it a pet they sell here?"
Shanna, whose attention was drawn to the Han Dan, excitedly ran over and pounced on Bell.
Bell, who was observing the strange and Magical Creatures in front of him with great interest, quickly caught his younger sister.
"My Gege doesn't know either, but he probably doesn't think it's a pet."
Bell turned to look at Shopkeeper Wang.
"Shopkeeper Wang, what is this creature?"
"This? Oh, this is an ' Earth Demon '. Inside the Earth Demon's belly exists an Other Dimension Space, so Cultivator usually use them to store important items."
Shopkeeper Wang explained.
"Also, don't be fooled by their harmless appearance. They can actually draw power from the Earth Demon, which gives them immense strength and defense. No one wants to face a berserk Earth Demon head-on."
"Aren't the Cultivator afraid that the Earth Demon will run away with the contents of its belly?"
"Run away? No, this kind of creature doesn't run away."
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and continued to explain the habits of the Earth Demon to Bell.
"Earth Demon are straightforward creatures, and they have a huge appetite. So as long as someone makes an agreement with an Earth Demon Earth Demon and provides it with enough food, the Earth Demon will continue to serve that person and will not betray them."
Bell nodded, stopping the Han Dan from taking more boxes out.
"Shopkeeper Wang, I'd like to take a look at some other items. We can settle the payment later."
Shopkeeper Wang had no reason to refuse Bell's request. He wished the Bell family could empty the entire Treasure Pavilion.
"Gege! Gege! I just saw a lot of juicy-looking Little Pills over there, let's go take a look!"
As she spoke, the little girl grabbed her Gege's hand and ran towards the other side of the shop. That was a direction Bell had never been before.
"Gege, look! Can we eat these Little Pills?"
Following Shanna's finger, Bell saw a bead of cold sweat drip down her forehead.
The counter here displays all kinds of pills, and the pill that Shanna is pointing to is scientifically known as the "Body Detonation Pill".
The Body Detonation Pill can rapidly convert Cultivator's life force into spiritual power, thereby unleashing tremendous strength.
However, this process is irreversible, so after consuming the Body Detonation Pill, it's uncertain whether the enemy will die, but you will definitely be dead.
Bell felt that the effects of the Body Detonation Pill were somewhat similar to the magic used by the "Mosquito Essence" version of Voldemort.
However, Voldemort converted the life force of others into his own magic.
