Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 215 Shadow Matter

"Go for it! Why not? This place is so interesting. I've never ventured into the territory of the Demon Empire before."

Wang Teng ate heartily, completely oblivious to the stares of others.

"I think the naval battlefield is actually quite good; it's enough for us to fight there," Zhao Manyan said with lingering fear. This time, he dared not follow Wang Teng.

Ai Jiangtu took a couple of sips of beer. After listening to Nan Jue's words, he felt a headache coming on. That kind of place sounded like a death trap.

"In that case, let's split up. I'll lead the team to the naval battlefield, and Wang Teng will lead the team to the desert."

"We've finalized the team arrangements today, and tomorrow we'll each set off separately."

Wang Teng immediately felt troubled upon hearing this. Ai Jiangtu's problem was that he was too democratic and free.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think you should either all come with me or all go with Ai Jiangtu. It's not good to separate."

"When you go out to gain experience, there will always be all sorts of dangers. Who would risk their life to steal things from demons? You only get what you pay for."

"Of course, I plan to go into the desert and see what's going on. It's a bit dangerous, but at worst, I'll be a hero again in eighteen years."

Jiang Shaoxu reached under the table and pinched Wang Teng's thigh hard. This guy really doesn't know what he's talking about. What does "I'll be a hero again in eighteen years" even mean?

Does she have to remain a widow?

"Forget it, I think the naval battlefield is more suitable for training," Zu Jiming said, putting his legs down.

"I think so too..."

"The naval battlefield is ready!"

"I'm planning to go to Venice; I don't want to feed the mosquitoes."

……

The group quickly decided to follow Ai Jiangtu, their courage turning in an instant, while greed only stops in the face of life and death.

Seeing this, Wang Teng felt happy. It would be so much more free to go alone. Bringing them would be risky. They were all precious. If one or two of them died in the desert, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

Jiang Shaoxu's mind started racing. What was this guy up to? Did he want to act alone?

Should I go and take a look? Sigh... never mind, I don't want to cause trouble. Besides, I need to hurry up and practice my magic; time is very tight.

After eating a couple of bites of food, I felt a bit full, so I simply put down my chopsticks, poured myself a cocktail, and slowly savored it.

After the meal, the group dispersed. There are still many places worth visiting in Australia, and since it was still early, they couldn't waste the time.

Wang Teng accompanied Jiang Shaoxu for a stroll, and then they went to the resource market to replenish some containers. They needed to prepare two of each type of container for storing spirit seeds and soul seeds.

"Young man, are you buying or not? I still have business to do."

"Boss, this lump of dark matter only has a corrosive effect, isn't the price too high?"

"It's at most a top-grade elemental spirit seed, and you're selling it for 5 million?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! What do you mean by 'mere corrosion'? This effect greatly enhances the inherent corrosion effect of Shadow, capable of corroding the defense of a monarch-level demon. What kind of spirit seed has this effect?"

"Hey young man, if you're not going to buy, then get out of here! Don't keep me from doing business!"

A young man and the shop owner were arguing heatedly in front of the shop, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

The young man stared longingly at the dark substance in the store, but the price tag made him feel that he was short of money.

Perhaps because he was a little shy, being watched by so many people made him feel extremely ashamed, and he left the place looking back every few steps.

"Boss, I'm quite interested. Could you tell me more about this clump of shadow matter?"

Wang Teng walked out right after the young man left and entered the shop. He saw that the shop was very small, like a small convenience store.

The boss, wearing reading glasses, glanced at the young woman beside him, his eyes immediately lighting up, and his face beaming with enthusiasm.

"Sure, sure!"

"This clump of shadow matter originated from a monarch-level Dark Knight; of course, the complete version wouldn't be so cheap."

"Even though only a portion was taken, it still retains a complete set of benefits, which is why the price is so high."

"The corrosive effect can easily break through the outer shell defense of monarch-level demons, thus also injuring them, inhibiting the demons' recovery from injuries, and corroding their vitality, giving the highly functional shadow magic a powerful offensive capability."

"Compared to other shadow substances, corrosion is purer, directly enhancing shadow magic and amplifying its power by 5 times."

"This increase is already equivalent to a top-tier Soul Seed, so selling it for 5 million is a normal price. For those who need it, this price is not expensive."

Wang Teng listened as the boss described the Shadow Matter in glowing terms, highlighting its incredible uses and almost comparing it to a celestial seed.

"Too expensive~ Shadow magic is not offensive magic by nature. Unless you cultivate it to the super-level, you won't lack this boost at that time."

"Before reaching the Super Rank, how many attack skills does Shadow Magic have? To unleash these additional effects and amplifications, one must have strong control and combat talent to utilize them."

"Is this why Corruption isn't selling well? Compared to better functionality, offensive capabilities are clearly less desirable. With these resources, if you want offensive capabilities, you might as well buy a top-tier elemental soul seed."

The boss's expression immediately softened, his eyes fixed on the eloquent young man. He had met a tough nut to crack.

What price can you offer?

Wang Teng smiled upon hearing this. This boss was a businessman and knew that this kind of thing was easy to get stuck with.

Knowing he had come in, seeing through the trickery, and knowing he might buy, they then sincerely discussed the price.

"3 million!"

The boss's face twitched; this price cut had hit him where it hurt. This was his purchase price, and he had been looking for a big fish to suck, but after more than a year, he still hadn't found one.

That young guy just now clearly looked like he couldn't afford it; negotiating the price with him was a complete waste of time.

That guy practically offered a price for an elemental spirit seed, tens of millions for Shadow Matter? It's like anything is possible in a dream.

"It's cheaper now~ I'll add a little more!"

"Never mind then, let's go!"

Wang Teng replied, put his arm around her waist, and turned to leave, saying that anyone who paid more than that price was being ripped off.

"Wait... I'm selling!" The boss immediately blocked their way, looking displeased, but quickly changed his expression and put on a smile again.

"Okay, give it to me. I'll check it, and if there are no problems, I'll buy it."

"Well... okay."

The shopkeeper reluctantly opened the counter, took out the crystal vessel containing the shadow substance, and placed it on the counter.

Wang Teng walked over, gently lifted the lid, and after sensing its strength, confirmed that it was indeed of the monarch level.

He put the lid back on, immediately transferred 3 million to the guy in front of him, then put away the items and placed them in his spatial bracelet.
