<h4>Chapter 472 - Hei Wan The Attendant </h4>


    Lin Mu observed the other people with his spirit sense before speaking.


    "I know... and the reason I’m buying the pills and herbs is also due to our mission. I need them to prepare for it beforehand, they will help me increase my abilities." Lin Mu replied.


    "I see... well you can just tell me the actual requirements that you have, no need to pretend anymore." Hei Wan said in a knowing manner.


    "Well, I guess this will make things easier for me too. What I need are pills and herbs that are either rich in earth attributable spirit Qi or are made from ingredients that contain it." Lin Mu said.


    "That’s a rather broad categorization... there are a lot of pills and herbs that fit into that." Hei Wan spoke.


    "Show them to me," Lin Mu replied.


    Hei Wan nodded and pointed out all of them. Lin Mu had already picked out some of the pills and herbs but she showed him the ones that were more cost effective. Lin Mu wouldn’t need a healing pill that contained a little bit of earth attribute herbs and cost more.


    Rather, a low grade pill that had a lot of earth attribute ingredients with a more economical price was better for him. One by one, the list expanded and soon Lin Mu had his order ready.


    But the amount that he was buying irked Hei Wan a bit.


    Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Are you really going to buy these all? They will be quite expensive you know?" Hei Wan said.


    It wasn’t that the pills or herbs themselves were that expensive, but just that Lin Mu was getting a ratherrge quantity of them.


    "How much will they cost?" Lin Mu questioned.


    "Roughly six thousand low grade spirit stones. Do you really want to spend them?" Hei Wan asked again.


    She knew that Lin Mu wanted them for his cultivation but she didn’t know if it was a worthwhile exchange. Spirit stones were a lot more versatile and could be used in pinch to restore one’s spirit Qi stores.


    Lin Mu thought over it and indeed found it a little wrong. He had a ratherrge capacity of spirit Qi and didn’t know if he would be needing to resort to it during an emergency. It was now that an idea urred to him.


    "Wait, they take other resources in exchange too, right?" Lin Mu asked.


    "Yes, they do. You can use resources of equivalent value to buy things as well." Hei Wan spoke.


    "I have something that I can use then... or rather a lot of them." Lin Mu replied.


    "What is it?" Hei Wan asked curiously.


    "Spirit apples," Lin Mu revealed.


    "Spirit apples?" Hei Wan asked, feeling a bit confused.


    While they were indeed quite valuable in terms of Normal currency, if Lin Mu wanted to buy using those he would need a rather massive amount of them.


    "Yes, let me show you." Lin Mu spoke and withdrew one of them from his ring.


    Hei Wan took the immacte looking spirit apple that had glossy skin and the perfect shape. But when she touched it, she could instantly feel the spirit of Qi that was contained within it.


    "This... how is this possible." Hei Wan said, feeling surprised.


    The spirit apple that Hei Wan had in her hand contained as much spirit Qi a low grade spirit stone. The entire reason why the Norther Town’s mayor Wu Xun was so rich was due to them. Spirit apples could be produced inrge numbers and each of them cost a single gold coin.


    But they were still notparable to spirit stones and contained much less spirit Qi than them. They were more affordable to the rich and affluent and thus could be eaten regrly as a staple.


    "How many do you have?" Hei Wan questioned.


    If the spirit apple had the same amount of spirit Qi as a spirit stone, it could be of nearly the same value.


    "I have about thirty thousand of them and all of them have the same quality." Lin Mu answered.


    "They will perfect then! You can just sell them and get more spirit stones in exchange." Hei Wan replied.


    Lin Mu nodded his head and found it to be reasonable. During the time he had spent in the Sleepscape he had umted a lot of them and as his cultivation base had also increased the number that grew on the tree every day increased as well.


    Currently, the spirit apple tree in the Sleepscape grew thirty spirit apples every day. Lin Mu himself did not have as much use for them as his speed of cultivation was much faster and he wasn’t even using the basic Qi pills now due to the Well of Slumber.


    Back then the spirit apples were not as potent as they are now. They had increased in quality along with his cultivation base and were nowparable to spirit stones, although their value would still be slightly low.


    But that was not of much importance to Lin Mu, as the tree produced thirty of them for literally no cost. His original n in the past was also to sell these spirit apples for money, but since he had been given a lot of it by Old man Jing, he didn’t really need to do that.


    They had been umting in his ring since then and had reached quite a high number.


    "Let me talk to the shopkeeper and try to get a good price for you." Hei Wan said.


    "That would be the best. He wouldn’t know that we know each other and should agree with it." Lin Mu replied.


    Hei Wan nodded and went to talk with the shopkeeper. The man was certainly surprised but the offer and asked to see the spirit apple himself to assess the quality. After confirming the truth, he decided to give his permission.


    Both of them approached Lin Mu and asked him to go to a private room with them, to which Lin Mu dly obliged. He didn’t want others in the shop to know about it, anyway.
