Chapter 25: Bitter Spirit Stone

"It's useless to say this, hurry up and think about what mission we should choose, otherwise we will starve to death before we go to the battlefield!" Su Bai rubbed his belly full of fat and complained.

Although what Su Bai said was very exaggerated, it was very effective in bringing the thoughts of Merge and Leon who were worried about the current situation of the race back to the current problem of solving the star coin in time.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Su Bai asked Leon, "Senior Leon, what is the first task you take after entering the school?"

"The first mission I took was ......," Leon frowned and pondered for a while, and then said with a somewhat unnatural face: "The first mission I took was the Bitter Spirit Stone mission. ”

"I've seen this task. Merg heard Leon mention the Bitter Spirit Stone, and the quests on the quest wall flashed through his mind, and Merge quickly thought of a description of the quest.

"This task seems to require going to the junction of the Ku Goose River and the Tianyue Mountain Range to find and dig up an ore called Ku Ling Stone. As he recalled, Merge said the relevant information in his memory, "This mission seems to have been issued by the Pharmacy Academy in the name of the Academy. ”

"Yes. Leon nodded, "The quest for the Bitter Spirit Stone is indeed issued by the Pharmacy Academy, because the Pharmacy Academy needs a large number of Bitter Spirit Stones as a raw material for potions, so this quest can be regarded as one of the few missions that are permanently valid on the trading floor. ”

"However, I've seen a lot of students skip this task and no one does it. Merge frowned, "Why is this? The mission said that finding a bitter spirit stone can be exchanged for a star coin, I think this is quite cost-effective, and there is no danger, why do you skip this task directly?"

"A bitter spirit stone, can it be exchanged for a star coin?" Su Bai's mouth opened and the boss exclaimed: "Where is this very cost-effective, it is obviously too cost-effective, okay!"

"If we dig up thousands of bitter spirit stones, that's thousands of star coins, won't we send them?" Su Bai's eyes lit up, and his saliva was about to stay.

"If it was so easy to find the Bitter Spirit Stone, would the price of the Bitter Spirit Stone be so high? You pig brain can't think about it?" Merge frowned and said something scolding, but he didn't care about Merge's cold water Su Bai at all, and still crossed his fingers and fantasized about the way he dug up piles of Bitter Spirit Stones.

"You don't know much about the Bitter Spirit Stone, so you think so. It's no wonder that every new student is pleasantly surprised when they see this task. Leon sighed, "The Bitter Spirit Stone is a strange stone that is gradually formed by the collision between the undercurrent in the bed of the Ku'e River and the mountain and stone veins under the Tianyue Mountain Range. ”

"The bitter spirit stone is translucent, light brown, and has a faint bitter smell, if there is no soil and other things to cover, put the bitter spirit stone in front of the nose and smell it carefully, it will smell a pungent smell. ”

"But ......" Leon looked at the puzzled eyes of the two beside him, and immediately changed his words, and said: "The bitter spirit stone is buried deep under the soil layer at the junction of the bitter goose river and the Tianyue mountain range, and the thickness of the soil covering the bitter spirit stone ranges from more than ten meters to nearly a hundred meters, not only is it extremely difficult to excavate, but it is also very difficult to find, if there is no means, the location of the bitter spirit stone is completely guessed." ”

"There is no energy in the bitter spirit stone, and it is difficult for people in the realm below the legend to perceive the location of the bitter spirit stone, plus the bitter goose river on the side contains other spirit stone magic mines, which will cause a lot of interference to perception, so it is extremely difficult to find the bitter spirit stone. ”

"What's so difficult about more than ten meters?" Su Bai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Just find a six-star Dou Master, and you won't be able to use your fighting spirit to open a big pit nearly 100 meters deep with seven or eight strokes." ”

"The depth of excavation is of course very simple for the fighter. However, the position of the bitter spirit stone under the soil is random, if the fighting master cannot know the specific location of the bitter spirit stone, plus the bitter spirit stone is extremely sensitive to energy, if the fighting spirit of the fighting master touches the bitter spirit stone, the bitter spirit stone over there will definitely be scrapped, and may even be chopped into pieces. Leon shook his head and said with a distressed expression, it seems that after Leon received the task of the Bitter Spirit Stone, he must have suffered a lot.

"Can you pay for hard laborers to dig little by little to find the bitter spirit stone?" asked Merge tentatively.

"It's not like no one has done this...... Leon pouted helplessly, "There was also a financier who spent a large amount of gold coins to excavate a large area at the junction of the Kugoose River and the Tianyue Mountain Range to find the Kuling Spirit Stone. But the act of consuming such manpower and material resources still outweighs the losses in the end. ”

Thinking of the past, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Leon's mouth, "That gold lord spent no less than 50,000 gold coins and hired nearly a thousand laborers to dig and search for the open space at the junction of the Ku Goose River and the Tianyue Mountain Range, and it also attracted a large number of adventurers, merchants, hunters and students to watch, but in the end, the gold lord dug up a total of intact bitter spirit stones, less than four hundred pieces......

Su Bai interjected, "Doesn't anyone collect and resell the Bitter Spirit Stone?"

"Everyone knows that the bitter spirit stone is under the soil layer of that area, but it depends on their luck if they can't dig it. Moreover, the people around know that this is an ore material that is needed by the Pharmacy College of the Star Academy, which is denominated in star coins, even if you want to stock up, there is no chance, although the bitter spirit stone is expensive, but the quantity is too scarce, and if you don't hoard a certain amount of bitter spirit stone, the gain outweighs the loss. ”

Leon frowned, "The Bitter Spirit Stone is an ordinary stone for people outside the Pharmacy Academy, only the Pharmacy Academy of the Star Academy will buy the Bitter Spirit Stone, and no one else knows the effect of the Bitter Spirit Stone." Spending a lot of money to hoard the bitter spirit stone didn't help. ”

"Let's try our luck. After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Merge raised his head and said to Su Bai.

After hearing this, Su Bai's eyes widened, "Are you crazy, it may be a futile ......"

"As you know, there are basically no tasks that we can take on right now. But we do need star coins, so we can only try our luck......" Merge looked helpless, "I heard others say that the luck of fat people is generally not too bad......"

"Who did you listen to, I went to do him......" Su Bai's face was gloomy and he said fiercely.

"Just kidding. Merger laughed, "Trust my nose." ”

"How did I forget the fact that you are a pervert, but even if you have a good nose, it is impossible for you to smell the faint bitter smell of a hundred meters below the surface, right?" Su Bai patted Merge's shoulder, but after thinking about it, he frowned and pondered.

Su Bai sighed, and said with a resolute gaze: "If it doesn't work, we'll grab it!"

“......”

"Then let's go get the quest for the Bitter Spirit Stone. Su Bai's eyes flashed with anticipation and excitement, and he looked at Merge.

"Good. Merge nodded.

"Wait......" Seeing Su Bai and Merge talking for a long time, Leon, who was sitting on the side, heard it in a fog, what kind of pervert? What do you believe in Merge's nose? Also, they actually plan to rob it, when everyone else is a vegetarian? What's even more exaggerated, have you ever heard of an alchemist threatening to rob others?

Leon heard a strange conversation between the two of Merge, and his mind was a little unable to turn for a while, "I'll go with you too." ”

"What are you two doing with me?"

However, seeing that Merge and the others looked at him with both joy and doubt, Leon looked at himself, found that there was no foreign object on his body, and touched his face with some stubble, and found nothing strange, and then said: "I'll go with you, one more person, one more strength, and at the same time one more care, anyway, I don't have anything important until the end of the month." ”

"Okay, thank you Senior Lyon for your help. Merge nodded, his eyes grateful.

"Let's go, go to the trading floor. ”
