Chapter 31
After seeing Yu Meng and Lewis leave, Lin Qi sighed helplessly. He shrugged and said to himself, “I didn’t expect to be so badly misunderstood.”
However, just when he thought that he could do nothing else but go back to bed, he heard another knock on the door.
“Who is it?”
Lin Qi opened the door impatiently. He was about to vent his dissatisfaction to the person knocking until he found that Yu Meng was back again, and she was fidgeting slightly.
“That…”
Yu Meng rarely asked others for help, so she sounded a little awkward when she spoke.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Qi was not nervous. Seeing Yu Meng like that made the corners of his mouth twitch into a bitter smile.
“Is the Night Light’s Billow really effective? It can really help someone advance to a higher level of magic…”
After hearing that, Lin Qi immediately understood her intention. He smiled and said, “Of course. Why? Do you want it too?”
Yu Meng did not say anything. Her face was red. She was embarrassed to say it, but she really wanted to advance past her current magic level.
After all, she had practiced hard for a long time, but she had not improved at all.
The Yu family’s teacher had said that she had encountered an impasse. If she wanted to advance, she had to rely on her comprehension of magic.
However, after practicing repeatedly for more than a year, she still could not advance, so Yu Meng was feeling quite anxious.
“This Night Light’s Billow of yours, can you…”
“Of course I can, but I can’t eat and drink for free either. You have to pay a price!”
Yu Meng subconsciously took two steps back, her beautiful brows furrowed. “What do you want? Money? Or…”
“No, I want the dimensional pouch that you showed me before.”
“This?”
Yu Meng took it out from her pocket. That small pouch could hold many things, which was why it was called the dimensional pouch.
“Yes, that’s it… Can you give it to me?”
Yu Meng was a little hesitant, but she was not sure if the dimensional pouch was worth giving up. It was her personal item, so she was reluctant to give it to others.
However, the usage of the dimensional pouch was limited, so it was not impossible for her to exchange with Lin Qi.
“You… What do you want my dimensional pouch for?” Yu Meng asked.
Lin Qi could not say that he wanted to sell the dimensional pouch, so he lied, “Actually, I have a lot of things to bring and it’s too troublesome to carry a backpack. You don’t have much use for it so why don’t you kill two birds with one stone?”
Yu Meng took a deep breath and finally agreed. She nodded and said, “Okay, in exchange, you have to give me the Night Light’s Billow.”
“Okay, no problem!”
Lin Qi pretended to go to the kitchen downstairs and cooked the Night Light’s Billow in the system while no one was looking.
“It’s done!”
Yu Meng asked in surprise, “It’s done?”
“Of course, hurry up and try it!”
Yu Meng still could not believe it. Could a bowl of soup really help her advance a level?
She had practiced for more than a year and had not made any progress. If she could really alter it with a bowl of soup, she would be stunned.
The fragrance of the Night Light’s Billow wafted through the surroundings and made Yu Meng’s appetite rise. She took a small sip, and she felt as if she was in a cool stream. It was really refreshing and sweet.
“So… So delicious!”
Hearing Yu Meng’s casual praise, Lin Qi smiled. “How is it? Delicious, right?”
It was not just delicious. At that moment, Yu Meng could feel a surge of magic power in her body, making her feel as if her magic had advanced a level.
“Amazing!”
Yu Meng immediately used her magic staff to cast an intermediate-level spell. She had not expected it to actually succeed.
“I really advanced a level. This soup is too miraculous! Doesn’t that mean that one can advance more levels after drinking a bowl of it?”
“No, no! How can there be such a thing in this world?” Lin Qi shook his head.
“This soup can only be used once. It won’t take effect again in the future. So, if you want to advance to the next level, you’d better train hard!”
At that moment, Yu Meng was very curious. How did Lin Qi have so many strange things?
After advancing to the intermediate level, Yu Meng could not wait to go back to her room and check the magic tomes. Now, she was going to practice the magic of an intermediate-level mage. She also had a goal for the future.
When Lin Qi received the dimensional pouch, a smile appeared on his face.
“Hehe, the money is here!”
The next morning, Lin Qi got up very early. He walked out of the hotel and asked around for the location of the Magic Association.
He had decided not to bring Luther along. After all, the fewer people who knew, the better.
Not long after, Lin Qi found the small building of the Magic Association, which also sold all kinds of magic artifacts and magic scrolls.
However, those items were not cheap. Just a recovery potion cost ten gold coins, which was dozens of times more expensive than Lin Qi’s Magic Sweet Potato.
“Holy sh*t! This is a daylight robbery!” Lin Qi could not help but complain.
However, an old man in front of him had heard his words. He immediately looked in Lin Qi’s direction.
“What did you just say? Robbery? The price I offer is reasonable!”
Lin Qi smiled. “Reasonable? Don’t think that I don’t know that in the Magic Chamber of Commerce in New Moon City, these recovery potions are only sold for three gold coins a bottle. This is more than three times the price. Isn’t it obvious that you’re robbing me?”
The old man sneered, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said to Lin Qi confidently, “I’m the only one in the entire Black Wind Castle who has magic artifacts and magic scrolls to sell. I’m the one who decides how much to sell them for!”
No wonder he was so arrogant. It turned out that he had monopolized the business of the entire Black Wind Castle.
However, Lin Qi felt that it was very strange. That kind of ordinary recovery medicine could be made by an alchemist, but why did no one make it?
“Brat, are you going to buy it or not? If not, then get out of here!”
Lin Qi ignored the old man and turned around to walk towards the Magic Association’s main hall.
There was only one deacon in the Magic Association. His name was Terry. He was about forty to fifty years old and was an archmage.
He was also the one who made the decisions in the Black Wind Castle’s Magic Association. He was considered a famous person in that area.
At that moment, he was discussing something with a subordinate. When Lin Qi walked toward the door, he suddenly heard a voice coming from inside.
“Lord Terry, there’s an alchemist from the western city. He’s selling all kinds of cheap recovery potions everywhere!”
“Oh? There’s such a person?”
“That’s right. Do you want me to handle it for you?”
Terry stroked his white beard and waved his hand. He smiled and said, “Go and do it cleanly. Chase him out of the city.. If he dares to disobey, you are allowed to do whatever you want to him!”
