"What a pity, they're just relatively common magic rubies." Holma was quite dissatisfied.

  "Be content, with these red diamonds that allow the body to absorb magic energy more quickly and easily, your cultivation speed will increase a lot." Tang Don was no longer the ignorant commoner he once was, the teachings of the Magic Canon and the books in the Grand Library had caused his knowledge to grow rapidly.

  "Seris, take five first and come to me when you're done. Don't be stingy, you've already fallen behind those prodigies too much, you must catch up." Holma distributed the magic drills, also giving Tangton five, then put the rest away, after all, the war space was the safest place.

  "Hurry up and open the box!" If it weren't for a strict mentor forcing her, Seres would rather daydream about cultivation every day.

  "Ugh, what a terrible draw!" Elemental opened the box lid, and Holma immediately complained.

  "Are all these expired medications!" Tanton took a few bottles of medicine to observe, and found that the liquid in the bottle had either solidified or was full of sediment, making them unusable.

  Homa continued to unpack, even if these scrapped medicines were once worth tens of millions of gold coins, she wouldn't have any regrets. As for the magic book, things that made it feel regretful could be counted on one hand.

  In the fourth box, a weapon finally appeared, which was a staff, one meter long, with threads all over its body, and a leaf carved from a magic jade inlaid at the top, with clear texture.

  Although the main material is made of thousand-year-old devil wood pulp and forest blood, the appearance does not show a wooden texture, but rather like crystal, with colorful patterns, faintly revealing a green glow.

  This is because of the presence of stardust in the forging process.

  "This is a Storm Staff, a staff often used by the Elf tribe for rituals. It's a perfect mid-grade item with two magical effects attached to it." Holmako said, "One is a magic amplifier that doubles the power of released magic, and the other is spell penetration, which has a certain probability of ignoring the target's magic shield and directly attacking their body."

  "Our wizard finally has a weapon!" Danton handed the staff Stormbringer to Seres, "You won't decline this time, will you?"

  Seris burst into a smile, grasping her staff and swinging it several times. After replacing the ordinary staff she had found in the weapon shop, the Death Witch took another step closer to the cannon's position.

  "It's mine!" Downton opened the trunk.

  On the swan-down quilt, a one-foot-long dagger was placed. Tong Dun pulled it out of the wooden scabbard, and a dark green gleam flashed immediately.

  It's no wonder it's a spirit product, the blade is full of raindrop-shaped runes, both beautiful and practical, with a slightly curved arc that is sharp beyond compare, as if only one strike would be enough to cut an enemy's throat.

  "Dagger Rain, a weapon commonly used by the Elf Assassin and Ranger, also belongs to the Rain series, still a perfect mid-grade. Holma once again showed off her vast knowledge, 'Although it only has one additional magic, Break Magic, but it's very practical, any magical shield below War-tier is fragile in front of it, like white paper.'"

  "If I were to get close to a war mage, wouldn't one stab be enough to kill them?" Danton exclaimed in surprise.

  "In theory, yes, but a Law System mage will never let you get close that easily." Holma advised, "A duel between mages is not as simple as you think, don't even think about relying on just one weapon to decide the outcome, that's heresy."

  "I get it!" Tandon inserted the dagger into his boot, practicing drawing it with both a normal and reverse grip.

  Homa was speechless, and when she saw Tang Dun's expression, she knew that this kid hadn't listened to her, and was obviously preparing to play a trick on someone.

  "Huh? Wait a minute, Tondton, you're a Holy Knight, how can you use such a sinister weapon?" Holma came to her senses, "You wouldn't be thinking of moonlighting as an assassin, would you?"

  "No!"

  Although Thunderton denied it, Holma looked at him with an excited expression like getting a new toy, feeling that this wild paladin might be farther away from the bosom of the Goddess of Justice and gradually sliding towards the Shadow God.

  Under Seres' urging, Tondon opened the last box, which surprisingly still contained a metal box the size of a first-aid kit, locked with a magical lock.

  "What is this?" Serese poked at it with her finger.

  "A type of seal box that can restrain any magical energy, preventing leakage. The magic circle construction on top also has the effect of slowing down time flow. It is generally used to store living things that are prone to decay."

  Homa spent some effort and unlocked it successfully. Then Tandon and Serese saw the three fist-sized ocean creatures inside.

  The seawater in the sealed box was black and had gone bad, emitting a foul smell that spread immediately when it came into contact with the air.

  Seris pinched her nose and leaned back in her body.

  "It's actually a starfish, hurry up, open the window, ventilate and change the air, find a bigger container." Holma lost her composure for the first time, urging the two.

  After a flurry of activity, the three starfish were finally placed in a wooden basin filled with clear water.

  Homa didn't speak, and no one dared to disturb her. They waited for over ten minutes until a sea urchin suddenly contracted and shot out a black water jet, only then did the tense atmosphere ease up.

  "Lucky, they're all alive!" Once the three sea urchins had all spat out water, Holmason let out a breath. "Quick, add some sea salt to the water."

  "What's it for?" Seres asked, puzzled. "But it's quite cute and fluffy."

  "This is a marine life that only exists in the endless ocean, and it's extremely rare to catch one. Only during the seasonal winds each year, they might be blown into the Aegean Sea by ocean currents, and even then, there are very few of them. Only the luckiest fishermen can catch one, and each one is worth a fortune. Before they even hit the market, they're snatched up by wealthy families who lie in wait." Holma explained.

  If a fisherman catches a starfish, he will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life, and can live a carefree life as a small rich man.

  "Is it that exaggerated?" Seris disbelieved and was then tapped on the forehead by Motive.

  "The Starlight Sea Urchin can condense and purify the Soul Seed, removing impurities within, causing a massive surge in Soul Power." Holma saw that the two ignorant disciples still didn't understand the importance of the sea urchin, so she directly used an apt analogy: "In other words, after you eat it, although you'll still be at the Soul Stage, conservatively speaking, your Soul Power can increase to the level of the War Stage."

  "Is it that powerful? Doesn't that mean I can bring more ghouls?" Tong Dun looked at the three sea urchins, eager to get started, "How do we do it?"

  "It's not just that, even low-ranking ghouls can bring one or two now." Holma was also excited, "Of course, it's best to swallow them whole, the effect is the greatest."

  "Really?" Serese's eyebrows almost twisted together, this thing looks so dirty, how can you eat it?

  "Hmph, you're all just commoners who have never seen the world. Do you even know what sashimi is? Or how about sea urchin slices dipped in soy sauce, it's delicious." Holma genuinely looked down on the two apprentices, "No way, I must take you to experience the top hotels of the nine major empires, otherwise when you attend high-society banquets in the future, you'll definitely lose face."

  Although a box of precious medicine was scrapped, the spoils of war were still rich and unparalleled. One hundred magic drills, two perfect-grade weapons, one soul mount badge, and three star-colored sea urchins.

  Even if I were to work for a million years in the past, I wouldn't be able to afford these things, but now they are quietly lying beside me.

  Okay, not quietly, three nearly dead sea urchins came to, continuously spraying clear water, frolicking with abandon, and even jumped out of the wooden basin.

  "What a pity, I didn't manage to absorb the demonic spider mother's soul remnants." Holma looked slightly disappointed. That was a magical beast that was about to be promoted to mid-tier, its soul power could withstand over a hundred miscellaneous undead ghouls.

  "Don't worry, that ghoul can't eat the remnants of a soul." Tong had Jackson set to stew for several days, until it had tasted the despair of death, before negotiating terms.

  For the next three days, Tang Dun stayed in the small courtyard, going nowhere, except to tend his wounds and read the magic medicine book, while also taking care of the three sea urchins.

  According to Holma, the weak Starfish Sea Urchin has low efficacy and must be cultivated to restore its original state before it can be used for tattooing.

  Seris prays every day to avoid eating sea urchin, hoping that the day will not come. She even plans to secretly take away the star-colored sea urchin and dispose of it, but unfortunately, she is discovered by Holma in advance.

  The Death Witch was locked in a small black house, waiting in a dark and windowless bedroom to study the death spirit magic.

  During this time, the underground city of Polusna was not unchanged either. Through conversations with Seres, Tondon finally learned that in addition to her, there were several other awakened undead creatures who had gained wisdom.

  "Why are they staying in the North City and not coming out? Is there something good there?" Tang Dun was puzzled, but unfortunately, Serese couldn't answer at all. It was Holma who gave a possible answer.

  "This should be the location of the Magic Spring."

  The nine great empires of humanity had once stolen some technological blueprints from the Elven Kingdom on how to build Moon Wells, and after reverse-engineering them, they became Mana Wells. Their function was to extract free-floating mana from the spatial plane and gather it together.

  Apart from Seres, the innocent and romantic female demon, other undead creatures naturally trained tirelessly, after all, the more power they had, the higher their status would be.

  "It's already five times the concentration of magical energy here, if it's near the magic spring, wouldn't it be even higher?" Tang Don was moved, but unfortunately he could only look up at the sky above Beicheng District, sighing with longing. With his strength, going there would be suicidal.

  What Seres said, the skull wearing a black robe was not seen, but there was a giant dragon with only its skeletal remains flying in the sky, with an astonishing momentum.

  Of course, there is also the figure of a 'familiar person', Pele, who finally came out to investigate after Toni disappeared for a while. If he and Robinson hadn't been injured and needed rest, this time would have come earlier.

  Pire has been complaining about his bad luck, but he didn't think that by staying in the mage tower and constantly attacking, he wouldn't attract the skull wizard's spirit, which is their territory.
