The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

Tong Yishan: "......"

She really couldn't describe how she felt at that moment. She thought she was going to die here, but you told her to ignore all that and get back to work?

And most importantly, she really kept her word; despite so many monsters rushing towards her, not one of them was able to get close.

Seeing the monster corpses piling up in front of her, she pursed her lips, used her telekinesis to drag the monster corpses from the bottom outermost layer over.

"I must be completely insane..."

Tong Yishan murmured as she used fire magic, shooting scorching rays from the bear doll's eyes to slice through the monster's corpse.

The sounds of corpses falling around her continued, each impact jarring her fragile heart.

Finally, after a while, the sound stopped.

However, it was replaced with more exciting human voices.

"Why did you only cut such a small piece? Sigh, let me help you."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yishan couldn't hold back anymore; her face flushed red, and her gray hair seemed to stand on end.

"I've already tried my best, okay! You... monster! Prodigy! Tell me, are you already at level 4?"

"No," Bai Jinxuan said innocently, spreading her hands. "I'm still a long way from reaching level 4."

"I don't believe you. Go to the guild and take the test. You'll definitely pass the Tier 4 Explorer assessment."

Bai Jinxuan smiled wryly, took out two small knives from her bag, and quickly slashed at the monster corpse beneath her. Amidst the violent flashes of the blades, she still had time to chat with herself: "I just got my Tier 3 Exploration Certificate not long ago. Weren't you here? The next assessment won't be for at least a month, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Yishan was completely speechless.

That's true. Bai Jinxuan has only been enrolled for a short time, yet she has not only made rapid progress in martial arts, but has also secretly learned dark magic...

Right, dark magic! When did she learn dark magic?!

Tong Yishan realized what was happening, paused in her actions, and said repeatedly, "Why did you suddenly switch to humanities? And why did you secretly learn dark magic? Isn't light magic more comprehensive? Why didn't you learn light magic?"

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized that the flame rays in her hand were out of control and started moving on their own.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Bai Jinxuan had used dark magic to steal it and then used it to dismantle the monster materials in three separate operations.

Even under these circumstances, she was still able to answer calmly, "I like dark magic."

"You...you're really quite shady! You're so strong, why do you always like to hide it? You should have learned that level of dark magic before you even entered school, right?"

Upon hearing Tong Yishan's words, Bai Jinxuan was momentarily at a loss for words.

What do you mean she knew it before she even enrolled? She just mentioned dark magic this morning, and she's completely unfamiliar with it now!

The process of snatching the magic circle took at least half a minute; in actual combat, I would have died eight times over.

Unfortunately, this kind of talk could not be told to Tong Yishan. She felt that she already knew dark magic, which was actually a good thing.

Bai Jinxuan handed the cut materials to the other party, then dug a new one from the pile of corpses. While secretly taking away the parts that could be used as raw materials for potions from the treasure chest, she quickly cut off the monster materials that could be submitted to the guild.

"I come from a commoner background."

She plunged the knife deep into the Venus flytrap's teeth and pried it off.

"If we don't keep it hidden, we'll soon be entangled in all sorts of trouble, won't we...?"

After prying off one tooth, she immediately resumed her rhythm and stabbed at the second tooth.

The monster's blood stained her fair hands.

"Even though I'm being so careful, I still got entangled with you, Tong Yishan. So it's really necessary to keep a low profile, especially since I don't have a family backing me."

"Click..."

Bai Jinxuan pried out another tooth.

At this point, Tong Yishan shut her mouth, unable to utter a word.

They are indeed different.

Volume 1: Chapter 140: The Girl at the Witch's Apothecary

Evening, at the expedition team's plaza.

After Bai Jinxuan and Tong Yishan handed over the monster materials to the No. 1 Middle School Union branch, their smart bracelets began to calculate their academic credit earnings.

Bai Jinxuan +270

[Tong Yishan +140]

It seems that because he stole Tong Yishan's fire magic with dark magic, the magic achievement was still counted on Tong Yishan, resulting in her credits being much higher than last time.

In a way, she got the better deal.

"Why aren't you jealous of me this time?"

Remembering how Tong Yishan had acted before, Bai Jinxuan couldn't help but tease her.

Tong Yishan was unaware that she had earned so many credits. Although the monster horde was exciting and the materials were plentiful, she had only been running around in the back the whole time and hadn't had a chance to fight.

To put it bluntly, it's just a backdrop for slacking off; it serves no purpose whatsoever.

Knowing that she had benefited, her face flushed and she looked away.

"Thank you for helping me earn credits," she whispered.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Bai Jinxuan came closer, her face full of curiosity.

This made Tong Yishan blush even more. She clutched the teddy bear tightly and shouted with all her might, "Thank you!"

The returning expedition teams all turned to look at her. Realizing she was being too loud, she couldn't stand it and quickly covered her face and ran away.

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan grinned, revealing a sunny smile.

Tong Yishan's reaction was even more interesting than she had imagined; the young head of the Tong family still has a lot to learn.

She shook her head, tapped on her smart bracelet, and Yao Yao's message popped up.

[Murong Yao: I just heard that No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School are going to jointly establish a competition and you've already joined? You're moving fast!]

[Murong Yao: This competition should last for several days. Come to No. 2 Middle School and let's hang out! We haven't gone shopping together in ages.]

"Going shopping..."

Bai Jinxuan raised her head and thought about it carefully. It was indeed the case. She and Yao Yao hadn't gone shopping together for a long time. Every time they met, they would rush back and forth without a moment's relaxation.

Perfect timing! We can take advantage of this competition to visit No. 2 Middle School.

With that thought in mind, she sent Yao Yao an 'OK', then turned off her smart bracelet and headed to the cafeteria.

Relaxation requires preparation, especially during competition when she can't run around much, so she plans to relax this week.

Once the Witch Merchant Guild is running smoothly, then you can focus on participating in the competition.

But before that, she needs to have a meal and then work for two hours.

------------------------------

After getting off work, Bai Jinxuan rushed to her dormitory without stopping.

Daytime has ended, and now night has fallen.

After transforming, she became a cleaner. She first contacted Jia Ruolin and learned that Jia Ruolin had brought in a pretty girl as the mascot and two aunties to manage the goods in the back. Then she turned around and came to the city of the underworld.

Despite the increased security forces here, they were no match for Bai Jinxuan; she could slip through with a mere shadow.

Soon, she arrived at a place where flowers bloom and the moon shines.

"I've brought in new products."

Facing the madam, Bai Jinxuan spoke without batting an eye.

With the ability to transform, ordinary people like the shopkeeper of "Flowers and Moonlight" would have no chance of spotting the slightest flaw.

She retrieved the gender reassignment medication she had left behind and quickly transferred the money.

After receiving the money, Bai Jinxuan did not leave immediately. She sat down in a chair and placed her hands on the table with her arms crossed.

"Are you aware of the recent expansion of the city within the territory?"

"Of course I know. You're interested in underground cities?"

The madam smiled faintly and carefully put away the box of sex-changing drugs.

Some wealthy second-generation heirs like to play this game, changing it back and forth, and making a lot of money through it, enjoying romantic moments.

Therefore, she naturally had a very good attitude towards the suppliers of sex-changing drugs.

Sensing that the madam had no intention of hiding anything, Bai Jinxuan spoke directly: "I want to open a pharmacy in the city of the underworld. That way, it will be easy for you to get your medicine, and I won't have to make this trip every time."

"Open a shop? The union is selling land recently, Miss. You can go over there and take a look, and choose a suitable place to open a shop."

"Is that so? How come I didn't know?"

Bai Jinxuan had never heard of the union selling land, so she was somewhat skeptical of the madam's information.

Hearing this, the madam clearly understood the reasoning behind it and said in a general way: "After the union develops the land, it will of course be sold. It's just that those of us who already have businesses will have a little more priority, since we have accumulated wealth."

I see. The union has big ambitions. Since surface industries and underground industries are unlikely to be compatible, it first sells some to existing industries to upgrade them, and then builds its own commercial channels.

With upgraded industries as a foothold, it becomes much easier for other industries to venture underground.

Just as Bai Jinxuan was pondering her next move, the madam handed her a letter of introduction.

"If you wish to purchase a piece of land, Miss, you can take this to the guild."

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan took the letter of introduction, glanced at it briefly, and put it into her handbag.

"Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, I'm just helping myself."

The madam spoke these words with complete composure, showing not a trace of shame on her face.

She genuinely meant it; wow, her emotional intelligence is amazing. Her words are so comforting.

Bai Jinxuan waved and left quickly.

Stepping out from under the flowers and moon, she took off her mask and took two deep breaths of fresh air.

Recently, she has felt that her five senses have become more sensitive. Even when wearing a mask, she can still smell a faint fragrance.

It was truly torturous. Fortunately, once the Witch Merchant Guild was established, she wouldn't have to endure this torment anymore.

With that thought in mind, she immediately perked up and headed toward the guild hall in the underground city.

In reality, although Bai Jinxuan had visited the city of the underworld many times, she had never truly explored it and always just passed through in a hurry.

Therefore, on her way to the union branch, she discovered that not only had the city itself expanded considerably, but many more buildings had also sprung up around it.

Not only hotels and taverns, but also all kinds of restaurants, barbecue shops, general stores and weapon shops are open.

The union branch was expanded to three times its original size, resembling a palace at first glance.

Upon entering, it was bustling with activity, filled with adventurers inquiring about missions and forming teams.

Bai Jinxuan walked through the crowd and went straight to the counter.

Sure enough, the person in front of the counter was a woman, and a very pretty one at that.

Sigh, these days, it seems like you need a female signboard vendor everywhere.

Helpless, she took the letter of introduction from her rabbit-shaped handbag disguised as a black leather bag, placed it on the table, leaned forward half a body, and whispered, "Buy land."

"Okay, please come to the second floor."

The receptionist gave a business-like smile, stepped out from behind the counter, and led Bai Jinxuan to the second floor.

The vacant seats were immediately filled by the other receptionists.

No wonder so many people are standing at the front desk...

Bai Jinxuan snapped out of her thoughts and followed the other person up to the second floor.

The second floor of the guild's underground branch is smaller than the first floor, but it looks more exquisite. The walls of each room are covered with patterns, making it very beautiful.

After walking about 20 meters, the receptionist opened a room, walked to the door, bent down and stretched out her arm to invite me in.

This display of power shocked Bai Jinxuan. Relying on her acting skills and facial expressions, she suppressed her emotions and swaggered inside.
