Full-Time Magister: You're selling soul beasts in Shanghai?

Chapter 95 The Condensed Evil Pearl, The Great Tide Arrives

After accepting the mission, the group was not in a hurry to hunt monsters to complete the requirements of the four-star team.

Since the Blue Valley Ferocious Beasts that Xu Beichen had previously hunted were also included in the scope, it was not very difficult to complete the four-star team.

Xu Beichen gave everyone a day off, mainly because Mu Ningxue needed time to break through her limitations.

As long as Mu Ningxue breaks through to the high level, there shouldn't be any problem for her to stay in the team with her strength.

Zhao Manyan dragged Mo Fan along, wanting to explore Tokyo's nightclubs. He had intended to invite Xu Beichen along, but Xu Beichen refused.

He already has a personal maid with him, why would he need to go to a nightclub with these two?

After parting ways with everyone, Xu Beichen led Mochizuki Chika into a hotel room.

As soon as Xu Beichen stepped into the room, he felt a chill.

"Come out." Xu Beichen's expression was calm. He was already very familiar with this aura; it was the female ghost, Jiuyouhou.

"Heh, you're such a fickle guy. You've only been apart for a short time and you've already hooked up with another woman."

Jiuyou suddenly appeared behind the two, her voice melodious yet carrying a chilling aura.

Xu Beichen was already used to it, but Mochizuki Chika, who was already extremely nervous, was now even more startled.

"This bastard actually has a connection with a female ghost?"

Mochizuki Chika was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. She could sense that the female ghost behind her was extremely frightening and could take her life at any moment.

At this moment, Jiuyou suddenly entered Wangyue Qianxun's body and instantly gained control of her body, giving Xu Beichen no chance to react at all.

"What exactly do you want?"

Upon seeing that Jiuyou had taken over Wangyue Qianxun's body, Xu Beichen immediately said in an annoyed tone.

"Master, don't you want to try double the pleasure?"

With her clothes half-undone, Wang Yueqianxun's slender fingers traced Xu Beichen's face, instantly transforming her into an incredibly alluring woman, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.

"I don't want to be drained dry by you."

Although Xu Beichen was very confident in his body, it did not mean that he was capable of absorbing the energy of the Nine Netherworlds.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Xu Beichen asked.

Seeing Xu Beichen's lack of romantic understanding, Wangyue Qianxun rolled her eyes at him and suddenly took out a bead from somewhere.

"What is this?" Xu Beichen asked, bewildered.

"When you went to challenge us yesterday, I sensed a very evil aura. That night, I went to investigate and found this thing in a prison."

"Wangyue Qianxun" explained, holding the bead.

Xu Beichen was stunned. Wasn't the prison in Shuangshouge the East Guardian Pavilion? Strictly speaking, the East Guardian Pavilion was the foundation of Shuangshouge.

This bead is the Evil Condensation Bead, and the evil thoughts it emits can influence a person's mind.

"I have absorbed the evil thoughts within this bead, and now it can be used as a vessel for storing energy."

"Mochizuki Chika continued."

Xu Beichen didn't know what to say for a moment. Since no one had awakened the Demon type yet, the Condensed Evil Pearl was of little use.

It wouldn't be difficult for Xu Beichen to obtain the Blood Essence, since Lu Nian was not dead.

However, Xu Beichen had no interest in the demonic type at all, and giving it to Mo Fan felt like a waste of time.

Xu Beichen took the Condensed Evil Pearl from Wangyue Qianxun and placed it directly into his spatial ring.

Although it's not of much use, I'll keep it for now; it might come in handy someday.

Next, Xu Beichen invited Jiuyou Hou to taste some milk tea, providing her with some yang energy as a reward.

The next day.

As soon as Xu Beichen stepped out of the room, he bumped into Zhao Manyan, who was in a great hurry.

"Brother Xu, something terrible has happened!" Zhao Manyan shouted hurriedly when he saw Xu Beichen come out.

"Huh?" Xu Beichen was taken aback.

"Someone on this beach is under a curse called something like the Drowning Curse, which has caused widespread panic," Zhao Manyan said.

"A drowning curse?"

Xu Beichen raised an eyebrow. He did have some recollection of this thing. It wasn't a curse cast by a mage; its source was a demon.

These demonic larvae are extremely weak in their early stages and can only parasitize various organisms.

However, the larvae grow at an incredibly fast rate; if the host is strong enough, it can even grow to the monarch level in a short period of time.

Since the larvae cannot survive in seawater for long periods of time, they generally choose to parasitize humans living near the sea.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Therefore, this drowning curse only occurs in coastal areas.

Actually, breaking the Drowning Curse isn't that difficult, but basically no hunters are interested in it.

Firstly, they were worried about being tainted by this unknown curse; secondly, the bounty for the Drowning Curse was only a little over 300 million, which wasn't much in the eyes of some powerful hunter mages.

Xu Beichen also had no interest in the drowning curse. If he used that time to run a restaurant, he could earn at least several times that amount.

"Where are the others?" Xu Beichen asked.

"They're still discussing this drowning curse. I feel it's best if we finish our mission as soon as possible and leave," Zhao Manyan said immediately.

It's impossible for Zhao Manyan not to be afraid in the face of this mysterious curse that remains unsolved to this day; he values ​​his life very much.

Xu Beichen had just arrived in the lobby on the first floor when he heard Ai Jiangtu and the others discussing something.

"The terrifying thing about this drowning curse is that it comes without any warning, without any foreshadowing, as if it randomly happens to the people of Donghai City."

A hint of seriousness appeared on Jiang Yu's still somewhat immature face.

"Even the most terrible epidemics have a reason, right? Is there really no clue whatsoever about this drowning curse?"

Nan Rongni, a healer, asked in confusion.

"Alright, let's stop discussing this useless stuff. This drowning curse is not something you can solve," Xu Beichen said as he walked over.

Upon hearing this, no one else said anything more.

Just then, everyone's cell phones suddenly vibrated and rang.

"A high tide is approaching. All mages of intermediate rank and above, please assemble on the shore!"

A single message, just a short sentence, caused everyone's expressions to change drastically!

Wow, the tide!

That was a huge tide!

There are countless sirens, including quite a few commander-level sirens. It would not be surprising if a monarch-level sirens appeared!

"Damn it, we're not from an island nation, why should we get involved in something so dangerous?" Zhao Manyan said with a face full of dissatisfaction.

"I'm not going anyway. I'd rather not take those resources," Zu Jiming immediately stated.

"I think this is an opportunity. Maybe we can be promoted to a four-star team in one fell swoop. Of course, anyone who doesn't want to participate can withdraw, but they can forget about getting any resources."

Xu Beichen said calmly.

"Tch, I don't even care about these measly resources."

Zu Jiming snorted coldly and walked out with his head held high, unaware that this was Xu Beichen's final step in kicking him out of the team.
