Demon Spirit Coin is the currency used in Glory City, usually two to three thousand demon spirit coin would be sufficient for a commoner familys annual expenses. The value of items in Glory City are measured with demon spirit coin for example, battle armours, demon crystal, demon beasts fur, elixir and various other items.
St. Portland Colleges annual school fee, would be around three thousand demon spirit coins, for a commoner family to say, would be a huge expenses for them. But a lot of commoner family would rather live frugally and send their children to St. Portland College, because once they become a fighter or demon spiritist, even if its only bronze rank, can also change the familys fate.
A bronze fighter, if join and become a soldier, would have a annual salary of about five to six thousand demon spirit coin, at the same time can also venture into St. Ancestral Mountains gaining more benefits from it.
Nie Li belongs to the Heavenly Mark family, a relatively declining noble family, The master of the house is a 1-star gold rank demon spiritist, familys annually income is around six hundred thousand demon spirit coin. The familys annual expenses is very large, just the expenses of the family childrens school fees would be around three hundred thousand demon spirit coin, along with various other expenses, often made the family making ends meet, with no choice but to sell some of to family business to support themselves, but even so, Heavenly Mark family still got all the younger generation into St. Portland College.
Master of the house once said that only outstanding younger generation could let the family rise once again, even if they had to live with much toll, they also have to let every single younger generation to get the largest nurturing they can give.
In his previous life, Nie Li doesnt quite understand this sentence, and felt strange about master of the house Nie Heng Xuns action, because the master of the house was very strict with them, but after his rebirth, Nie Li could finally understand master of the houses care and thought.
As a member of the Heavenly Mark family, he also wanted the family to grow stronger, becoming Glory Citys top level!
After his rebirth back, Nie Lis memory still had a lot of powerful cultivation techniques, but before that, he have to make some money to buy a few primary soul crystal, in order to test his soul realms attributes can then decide on which cultivation technique to practice with. If the cultivation technique matches ones soul realms attributes, then training would be more effective.
Dong Dong Dong!
The bell went of through out the Glory City, class has ended.
St. Portland Colleges school rushed out from the huge wall, passing through the college entrances bustling street, hawkers sounded one after another.
Latest bronze rank battle armours, with Snow Wind Pattern engraved on it, noble ladies and gentlemen, are you interested? A vendor with grey tunic greeted with enthusiasm which soon attracted the attention of many students, bronze rank armour this kind of stuff isnt something an ordinary student can afford, but within the St. Portland College theres still a lot of children of nobility, some of them are extremely loaded, and they can sell to those rich students if they were lucky enough.
Look, bronze rank armour with Snow Wind Pattern engraved on it! the students were excited, talking to one another, it was a pair of gauntlets, exuding deep blue light, surface covered with mysterious totems, revealing a faint chilling frost.
How much is this? One student asked in low voice.
Sixty thousand demon spirit coin! the vendor said while smiling.
Good heavens, so expensive! an ordinary family couldnt even accumulate sixty thousand demon spirit coin in ten years.
This is a bronze rank armour with Snow Wind Pattern engraved on it, Snow Wind Pattern was drawn on it using the blood of Snow Wind Banshee, the banshee were at its prime before being killed, Snow Wind Banshee isnt easy to hunt, their characteristic also made the gauntlets to have strong attacking ability! This is definitely a suitable armour for Snow Wind type fighter or demon spiritist! The vendor bragged as he introduced.
Many students looked at the pair of gauntlets with nostalgia but they still leaving, as such expensive stuff isnt something they can afford.
Bronze rank armour alone would cost sixty thousand demon spirit coin, then wouldnt silver rank armour and gold rank armour would be even more expensive! Lu Piao muttered, his monthly allowance was only about five hundred demon spirit coin. Lu Piaos family has a lot of business, so Lu Piao can be considered well off, in the previous life Lu Piao would often help Nie Li and Du Ze. But even if Lu Piao have some money, but bronze rank armour these stuff isnt something he can afford.
As Nie Li, Lu Piao and Du Ze walked, they would also look around, this street is filled with all kinds of items, no matter what item, be it expensive or cheap can be found here.
Nie Li, what are you planning? Lu Piao was confused as Nie Li were looking around.
Just when theyre talking, a figure arrived in front of that vendor.
Look, its Chen Yue! Lu Piao directed Chen Yues location with his mouth And also Ye Zi Yun!
Nie Li looked towards that direction, only seeing Ye Zi Yun and a few girls happily chit chatting, that pretty face, sweet smile of hers were full of sunshine and breathtaking. Among the group of girls, Ye Zi Yuns definitely the most dazzling one, which made others hard not to look at her.
Everything around here became more vibrant because of Ye Zi Yuns existence.
Chen Yue also looked at her from time to time.
Just nice Im lacking a bronze rank gauntlets, wrap this bronze rank gauntlet up for me! Chen Yue lightly said to the vendor.
YES, YOUNG MASTER! the vendor immediately grinned upon hearing Chen Yues words and quickly wrap the gauntlet up.
Heres sixty thousand demon spirit coin! Chen Yue took out six demon crystal card, a single demon crystal card represents ten thousand demon spirit coin.
Taking out sixty thousands demon spirit coin, Chen Yue made it look light, and with the dont give a shit kind of expression keeping the bronze rank gauntlet into his interspatial ring.
(TLN: The raw doesnt have dont give a shit but I got no idea how to translate it lol)
Several girls around let out light muffled voice, easily taking out sixty thousand demon spirit coin, so rich! Several of the slightly pretty girls, had the look in their eyes brighten up, throwing flirtatious gaze at Chen Yue. But Chen Yue treated them as though they were invisible, proudly look towards Nie Lis group of three, then looked towards Ye Zi Yun, eyes clearly means that I only had my eyes on you.
How despicable! Lu Piao growled This silver bullet attack!
(TLN : Erm.. sort of a money attack? As in showing others that hes filthy rich)
Tyrant! People is rich, easily throwing out sixty thousand demon spirit coin, and even has a interspatial ring. Du Ze spreads out his hand, shaking his head looking at Nie Li Nie Li, people is handsome and rich, what can you compete against him with?
Hehe, Zi Yun doesnt care about that amount of money! Nie Li casually saying, and swept his gaze towards the direction where Ye Zi Yun was at, she completely ignored Chen Yues action, talking with the few girls beside, her eyes were looking at Xiao Ning Er from time to time, but Xiao Ning Er were slightly absent mindedly stood at one side.
Xiao Ning Ers expression is cold, shes usually a lone wolf, without having much contact with other students.
Nie Li knows that what Ye Zi Yun wants the most right now is friendship, in the previous life Ye Zi Yun always wanted to be friends with Xiao Ning Er, but their identity led them further apart instead.
Looking at Ye Zi Yuns expression, Chen Yue is somewhat disappointed.
Fine, Ye Zi Yun indeed dont care about money, Nie Li, she wouldnt like females right, if so youre game over! Lu Piao blinked, teasing Nie Li.
Nie Li laughed, he naturally wouldnt put Lu Piaos words in his heart, in the previous life he was Ye Zi Yuns only man, Lets go, Im starting my plan!
Du Ze and Lu Piao looked straight, nodding their head.
Lu Piao, go buy two crossbow and five hundred crossbow bolts, crossbow cost hundred sixty demon spirit coin each and bolt cost thirty demon spirit coin each, dont get cheated by hawkers! Nie Li told Lu Piao Well meet up at the schools training ground.
Okay! Lu Piao nodding his head feeling a bit curious in his heart, did Nie Li brought crossbow and crossbow bolt before in the past, since hes know the price of it.
Nie Lis monthly allowance is only fifty demon spirit coin, doesnt have enough to spend every month, so naturally he cant buy any expensive stuff.
Du Ze, well go buy Black Pool Grass! Nie Li said, as Black Pool Grass has a certain paralysis effect.
Du Zes situation is even worst then Nie Li, so naturally Nie Li wouldnt let Du Ze use his money, so when buying those stuff Nie Li was the one paying.
Black Pool Grass is very cheap, one demon spirit coin can buy a bunch of it, in addition, Nie Li also brought some lower fusing agent and went to a small hill at the side of Glory City to collect some Zoysia Grass.
What are you planning to do? Du Ze curiously asked.
Nie Li laughed mysteriously Black Pool Grass has a certain paralysis effect, but the efficiency is very low, generally only used to smear on wounds to relieve some pain. As for Zoysia Grass, is a very common weed, and no one has found the usage for them yet, but if used with fusing agent and Black Pool Grass, it can greatly strengthen the paralysis effect in Black Pool Grass!
Du Ze stunned for a moment and asked How strong is the paralysis effect?
Nie Li laughed saying Doesnt have much paralysis effect on ordinary demon beast, the effect is worst then low grade paralysis agent. But did you realize, horned sheep never eats Zoysia Grass?
Horned Sheep? Du Ze went silent for a moment, as if he vaguely guessed something, his eyes lit up Nie Li, would you happen to be an alchemist?
An alchemist? Nie Li thought for awhile and laughed I guess so
Alchemist refers to those who use herbs to refine elixirs or people that allocate prescriptions, Nie Li isnt a alchemist in his previous life, only had slight knowledge of them, but Glory Citys alchemist standard is simply too low, cant even be considered a real alchemist! Nie Li can totally look down on those so called alchemist in Glory City! And when Nie Li was having his adventure around the continent, he entered the Toxic Forest and those people living in Toxic Forest that survived countless attacks from the poisonous demon beast, those are then considered a real alchemist!
Nie Li started mixing the grass and fusing agent, getting a total of six full bottle of drug.
St. Portland College training ground, the training ground was established by legend rank demon spiritist Lord Ye Mo and the principal of the school which is a black gold rank demon spiritist, training ground surrounded by towering walls, every year experts in Glory City would capture some low level demon beast and place them into the training ground. Any St. Portland Colleges student who is below silver rank can enter the ground, students can hunt demon beast inside obtaining fur, demon crystal, various other beast materials from it and can dispose of it freely at their own choice. Some poor students can also hunt inside the training ground to help with familys finance situation.
Nie Lis group of three hasnt even reach 1-star bronze rank yet, so the place that they are going is the training grounds safest area where there are only horned sheep at that area. Although horned sheep are very aggressive in nature, they are still herbivores therefore their attacks at most would cause serious injuries, so it can still be considered safe.
Nie Lis group of three entered into the training ground after having their identity verified by the guards at the entrance.
Training ground apprenticeship area.
Within the sparse trees would often have patches grass field with horned sheep slowly pacing on it, their eyes were red, oppressive mania, from time to time would prick up their ears to listen, once an outsider enters their territory, they would mercilessly attack towards it.
Just then, abnormal sound could be heard and the horned sheep closest to Nie Lis group lets out a growl and rushed towards the direction of the abnormal sound.
