Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 167 Free Food and Drink

The crowd dispersed, exhausted after a long journey and being terrified by a commander-level sea monster.

Wang Teng pondered for a moment. He should go buy a new phone. He had already expected his bank card and ID card to be frozen.

If their phones are taken away, they can just be replaced. As far as he knows, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan have already bought new ones, and the others are probably in the same boat.

As for the account, there are ways to avoid it. He had already transferred the money to Tang Yue's account the night before the training.

So you can now log into Tang Yue's account and use the funds without any problems.

The supervisor's freezing of their bank accounts was pointless; it only caused inconvenience in traveling because their ID cards were frozen. Since everyone was acting together, it didn't really matter.

It's not easy to openly use bank transfers, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Others probably have ways to deal with it too.

After sitting in the lobby for half an hour, Wang Teng still hadn't seen Mu Ningxue come to find him, so he immediately got up and left.

If you create an opportunity, you can simply ignore it; it's not like he's begging the other person to lend you money.

After leaving the building, I walked through the city and arrived in bustling Tokyo.

Then I found a Chinese mobile phone store, and through friendly communication, I bought a brand new iPhone and an anonymous SIM card.

"Hmm~ Luckily, they all work~"

Wang Teng checked both WeChat and Tang Yue's bank account and found that they were both fine and could be operated independently.

He then opened the downloaded map software, located the Tokyo area, and searched for resource markets.

The market in Donghai City is a complete rip-off; the prices are obviously inflated.

After looking through the phone for a while, I put it away and walked towards a main street.

After wandering around for an hour, we arrived at a bustling old street that resembled an urban village.

From the outside, it still looks like a city full of tall buildings, but once you step inside, it's a completely different story. The streets are packed with people setting up stalls and shops selling resources.

It wasn't just Chinese people; people of all races could be seen there too. People came and went, and everyone's attention was focused on those stalls.

The stalls are all square tables, one meter wide and two meters long, with the stall owners sitting behind them.

They sell all kinds of rare ores, magical artifacts, magical tools, potions, high-grade materials, monster eggs, cubs, and many other things they've never seen before.

"Like panning for gold in a cesspool!"

Wang Teng scanned the area, and found that several of the magical artifacts he recognized were substandard.

He lost interest in watching any further and decided it would be better to find a shop that sold spirit essences.

As he ventured deeper inside, he soon came across a quaint, antique-style shop, whose name piqued his interest.

"One Hundred Years of Solitude—this place looks neither Chinese nor Western, and the owner seems to be from South Korea." Wang Teng walked in.

"Welcome, what would you like?" the owner said in a heavily accented international language.

"I see your shop sells spirit essences, I wonder if you have any monarch-level spirit essences?" Wang Teng directly stated his needs.

To advance to the Monarch level, he needs to rapidly accumulate Monarch-level essences in his soul. If he uses other lower-level essences, he will need far too many.

Upon hearing this, the boss's eyes lit up; this was a big, juicy target. He quickly rubbed his hands together.

"Yes, one just arrived last week, but it's a bit pricey."

Wang Teng understood what he meant from his expression and immediately said, "I don't lack money."

"Please wait a moment!" After saying that, the boss turned around and went through a back door. A moment later, he came out with an exquisite vessel.

Wang Teng did not take it, but instead released his spiritual power to look inside. He saw a monarch-level essence with abundant soul energy lying quietly inside.

The boss saw that the young man didn't take the job, and just by using his mental power to check, he knew that the other party was an experienced person who knew the rules.

The higher the level of the spirit, the more careful one should be when handing over such items, as there is no way to know if it has been switched or tampered with.

"Your spirit... I look at it and it feels a bit off. It has far too little soul energy. If it weren't so complete, I would suspect it's a fragment of a spirit."

Wang Teng stared for a full minute before frowning and looking away, his eyes filled with suspicion as he glanced at the Korean boss.

"How could that be? This is a brand new one, it's brimming with soul energy." The Korean shop owner shook his head vigorously; this was the star product of his shop.

"Do I look like a newbie to you? Can't you even tell if my soul energy is sufficient?"

"I have commander-level essences and beast souls here. Would you like to see what 'abundance' means?"

Wang Teng flipped his hand and took out the Soul Vessel, showing it to the other party in his palm.

The Korean boss, with some skepticism, poured his mental energy into the vessel, and his eyes immediately lit up. The beast soul inside was absolutely top-notch, and its essence was also perfect.

"These two are indeed good stuff. Can you sell them to me? I'll pay a high price!" The Korean boss was overjoyed. Good stuff of this caliber is rare, especially beast souls.

"What price are you willing to offer?" Wang Teng asked meaningfully.

"How about 5 million?" the Korean boss tentatively asked.

"Just pretend you never saw it," Wang Teng sighed and was about to put away the Soul Vessel.

"Hey, hey, hey... the price is negotiable~" the Korean boss quickly chimed in.

"Then you'd better give me a realistic price. Don't tell me you're thinking of making a hundred million just by reselling it."

Wang Teng mercilessly exposed his idea: a commander-level essence could sell for 1.7 million, and a beast soul would fetch 4 million or more.

Not to mention that this is the soul of a powerful sea monster like the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast.

The Korean boss's face fell, and he immediately understood what the other party meant; it seemed that the other party knew the market.

"5.5 million, that's the price I can offer you. After all, I need to make money too. Beast Souls are rare, but the demand isn't high." The Korean boss finally relented.

Wang Teng pondered for a while and felt that it was indeed time to make a move. Keeping it in his hands was of no use, and it wouldn't be worth it to devour it.

The key point is that he took several bites of that monarch-level essence, and if he didn't leave soon, the essence might turn into a fragmented essence, which would be ridiculous.

"Alright, I'll sell it to you. I also have two warrior-level spirit essences on me, let's say 50 million, making a total of 600 million."

Wang Teng took out another vessel containing the spirits of the dead and showed it to him as well.

The Korean boss smacked his lips, hesitated slightly, and then said, "Okay!"

This time I can earn around ten million, but it will take time to sell them. If they don't sell, they might become unsellable.

The transaction was clear, and Wang Teng checked the bank app to see if the money had arrived in his account. He then nodded in satisfaction.

"Do you still want this monarch-level essence?"

The Korean boss was still thinking of selling his essence, since there weren't many big customers like him, and they were all very picky, given how expensive it was.

"The quality is a bit poor. I need the high-quality kind, like the one I bought, so I'm sorry to say it's not good."

"Alright then~"

Wang Teng turned and left. He didn't continue strolling around; he left the ancient street directly, his eyes slightly narrowed, his soul rapidly surging.

The soul energy of the monarch-level essence was too abundant, and he directly devoured 50% of it. If the essence were less than 50%, something unusual might happen.

After his talent reached the seventh level, his ability to devour the essence of souls from afar was greatly enhanced and became even more concealed.

Plus, the Korean boss was only at a high-level average, so he wasn't afraid of being caught. As for problems later, well, who would recognize him once he left the store?
