However, he still listened to Oden's advice, since if this guy said it was delicious, it probably wasn't too bad.

So Lu Yuan made a mental note of it, planning to buy a can before he left.

Then flip to the next page.

Lantern mushroom, with a slightly shiny cap, its dried powder can be used to make special potions, one knight's rank for one basket.

Beetroot leaves have a sweet aftertaste and are refreshing. Do not exceed three leaves a day, otherwise it may cause physical discomfort. One Knight's Token is equivalent to two packets.

Turning the page further, there are bluebell potatoes, plump tubers that turn a pale blue when cooked, a staple food in the North, sold for one knight's token per bag. Golden wheat, an improved variety of rye from the North, ground into flour for marching biscuits, also sold for one knight's token per bag.

Then came page after page of names: chili peppers, pine resin, ash wood, yew heartwood, saltpeter, sulfur, mica flakes, beeswax, distilled spirits, charcoal... all at very low prices.

"Give me two skewers of fire peppers," Oden suddenly spoke up again. "These things are related to fire elements; you can use them to make some gadgets."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded again to indicate that he had remembered it.

After flipping through the booklet, Lu Yuan had already decided what he wanted to buy on the first floor: a small jar of Frostberries to try, five bundles of Knight's Grass, and two skewers of Fire Peppers, for a total of three Knight's Tokens.

However, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry to pick up the goods. Instead, he planned to look at the second and third floors first, and then pay for them all together after he had made a plan, so as not to have to carry the things up and down the stairs.

Then, Lu Yuan noticed that there was another row of grid cabinets made of an unknown metal on the inner side of the first floor.

He took a closer look and saw that it was labeled "Storage Locker." Materials could be stored here, and different Knight Tokens would be deducted each week depending on the items and their quality. Even some special and bizarre materials and items could be stored.

Lu Yuan clicked his tongue inwardly. If he had known about this thing, he wouldn't have so hastily disposed of the firefly skin.

Next to the lockers, there are some odds and ends for sale, including inscription tools and materials needed for inscription.

The medicinal bath kit contains the same kind of stuff that the Morning Bell Knight uses in class; it's all pretty good stuff, and the price is quite cheap.

After briefly looking around, Lu Yuan continued up the stairs on one side of the hall. The stairs spiraled upwards along the semi-circular tower wall, and the temperature in the air increased the higher he went.

There are sizable steam pipes embedded in the stone wall, and occasionally the pipes make the sound of flowing water.

Above its head is a row of metal spring-loaded mechanisms that turn automatically when the time comes.

I don't know what it's used for. But the air on the second floor wasn't as humid as I expected; instead, it felt dry and warm.

Compared to the first floor, the second floor is completely deserted. This is where rare materials are stored.

Then there are numerous stone cellars, as well as gravel prepared specifically for storing materials, shallow water, and even plants grown directly in the soil.

The ingredients here suddenly seem much more plentiful.

Lu Yuan immediately picked up the manual on the second floor and started reading.

Frost marrow is a milky white, marrow-like substance extracted from the ice layer deep within the Jieshan Mountains. It is warm to the touch and has delicate annual ring-like patterns on its cross-section.

Silver sand, a fine silver sand that has solidified at the bottom of a frozen riverbed, has excellent affinity with inscriptions and can even slow down the decay of medicinal properties in some liquids.

Mining is available in the frozen riverbed outside Raven City, but only for a short period during the summer. A small bag and two knight's tokens will be given.

Dumb Lightning Stone is a special type of stone that has been struck by lightning and can store some of the lightning element within it.

By engraving detonation inscriptions on it, it can be made into an offensive material, belonging to the category of items with lightning as the main core material.

Three Knight's Tokens in one piece.

The Frostbone Bone is hollow and emits a low, humming sound, inaudible to the human ear, yet strange beings can be drawn to it. Five Knight's Tokens, one.

Further on, there's snow blind moth powder, ironwood, and matte moss.

Lu Yuan flipped through the pages one by one until he reached the page on special materials. Mandraghan.

Auden, who had been observing, suddenly stopped talking. He pondered for a moment and said, "Is this what I imagined? Look at the picture."

Then Lu Yuan flipped to the picture page, and Auden's voice immediately rose a few decibels:

"Holy crap, it really is something like this! The Knight Academy actually has these kinds of things!"

"What is this?" Lu Yuan asked curiously. "Is it very rare?"

"Of course it's rare! In my time, this stuff was an extremely rare material." Oden was uncharacteristically serious.

"But what's rare about it isn't its roots, but its leaves, which should be called mandrake. This stuff is extremely rare; it can be used not only to make some special potions, but also to make a special kind of gadget."

"If the props are in good condition, they can even be passed down as family heirlooms. However, your mandrake root is probably a scrap. But even if it's a real root, we should still get a few."

Oden's voice carried a hint of seriousness, and also excitement:

"Before we came to study taboos, there was a herbalist who specialized in cultivating these extremely rare materials, which could be kept alive with just a little root."

"Next time I call him over, if you can mass-produce mandrake, you'll be in for a treat. Although it's not as precious as mandrake grass, it's definitely a top-notch product."

Lu Yuan glanced at the price of Mandragon: one finger joint long, fifteen knight tokens.

Lu Yuan then silently turned the page, because he couldn't afford it.

Lu Yuan then turned to the next page of the manual, where the words "Dragon's Blood Glue" came into view.

"Holy crap!" Oden's voice suddenly rose. "This, this, this is amazing! You absolutely have to get your hands on this. I can use it to make a special kind of potion, and it's a very special kind of potion."

Oden's speech quickened:

"I never expected to find dragon's blood gum here. We went to great lengths to get our hands on a single dragon's blood gum tree. Back then, the dragon's blood gum tree was almost extinct due to environmental factors. The fact that we can still see it now means that your environment has recovered, or you've found a suitable place for the dragon's blood gum tree to live."

"I never expected this. You actually ran into something like this?"

As Oden spoke, his tone carried a hint of regret, as if he had been born in the wrong era.

Lu Yuan was somewhat taken aback. He had never seen Oden lose his composure like this before, with such a huge emotional fluctuation.

The last time Oden experienced something like this was when he encountered the Crown of Kings, a forbidden newcomer that nearly scared him to death.
