Chapter 989: Chapter 990: A Somewhat Dissatisfying Trade (Congratulations to ’One Robed Knight’ Alliance Hierarch! 5/10)

When Muses supported Chu You out of the cabin, some changes had occurred outside. The change was that the appearances of certain shops were different, a sign that they had changed owners.

The two stood on the streets of the market, clad in black robes.

"We’ve both taken care of our business, Night Ghost, do you still have money on you? If you do and want to spend it, I’ll accompany you to have a look," Muses actually expressed some concern.

At this moment, Chu You thought of that little shop resembling Taoist Palace. A faint smile hooked at the corner of his mouth, though Muses could not see it. Well, both of their faces were shielded by a magic barrier after all.

"Hmm, let’s... head over there, I noticed a shop earlier...."

"Alright."

Chu You’s body was not a problem and his steps could keep pace with Muses. However, his spirit was another story. He was now expending energy at an alarming rate, and everything he saw seemed to have a faintly shaky quality to it. For this reason, Muses was tightly gripping Chu You’s arm, and it seemed like half of Chu You’s body was almost leaning on Muses.

He had been forcibly enduring until now, finally allowing himself to relax.

Soon, they arrived in front of a miniaturized version of a Taoist Palace shop. Next to the shop’s door hung a sign that still read: Seeking a "Devil Seed"!

Hehe, there are 10,000 "Devil Seeds" within my body, would you like to know more?!

"Is this the place then?"

"Hmm."

"Then let’s go in."

"Alright."

So, the two entered without any obstruction and went inside.

At a glance, they saw a person dressed in Taoist robes sitting on a straw mat. Their hair had been pulled up and secured with a slightly long hairpin, the attire was very simple.

However, in Chu You’s eyes, this Taoist was not a real Taoist, this person was an Experience Monster!

Now, the faux Taoist looked up to size up the two black-robed visitors who had entered.

"I have nothing for sale here. I only seek to buy, as is already written outside. If you two don’t have a "Devil Seed," then please leave!" At this time, the faux Taoist spoke.

"Hehe..." Chu You let out a weak laugh, yes, even the laughter carried a sense of frailty.

"Hmm?" The faux Taoist raised his eyebrows slightly.

At that moment, a "Devil Seed" emitting a green light unexpectedly emerged from Chu You’s chest, then it spun and flew around him rhythmically, light and agile. It didn’t look like an embodiment of evil at all.

"A "Devil Seed"!!" The faux Taoist stood up abruptly, his eyes wide as he stared intently at the "Devil Seed" floating next to Chu You.

"Incredible, to actually witness a "Devil Seed" still exists!"

"Good that you recognize it."

Muses glanced over at Chu You, who was almost clinging to her, half-dead, and spoke, "Don’t talk anymore, let me handle this."

"Hey, how much will you pay for a "Devil Seed"?" Muses asked the faux Taoist the very next moment.

"You’re only asking for Gold Coins?" the faux Taoist asked, his voice deep.

Muses looked at Chu You, "Of course. I hope you won’t offer a provocative price, as that would be insulting to us."

"Hehe..." The faux Taoist laughed for a moment and then his smile faded, "I’ll offer 20 million Gold Coins! That’s the most I can give."

At this, Muses glanced again at Chu You and nodded, "Deal!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than the "Devil Seed," with an agile grace, drifted towards the other party.

The faux Taoist caught the "Devil Seed" in his hand, and it could be seen that the "Devil Seed" was now very calm, lying quietly in the hands of the faux Taoist, allowing him to scrutinize it wantonly...

It was... very obedient!

At that moment, the faux Taoist looked solemnly at the "Devil Seed," and then a faint purple aura emanated from his body.

After a long moment, doubt seemed to appear in the eyes of the faux Taoist. He then looked up at Muses and then glanced over at the near-dead Chu You beside her.

"Strange, why is this "Devil Seed" so calm, why does it listen to your... words?"

"Do you want it or not? The Devil Seed has already been studied by us, and it’s in this condition right now, but its special characteristics still exist. No one can change that," Muses interrupted Chu You, who then promptly closed his mouth.

"Um, indeed, well then, here’s the money for you!" The imitation Taoist, as if convincing himself, quickly pulled out a spatial pouch and threw it towards Muses.

Muses caught the Gold Pouch and then handed it to Chu You, who was by her side.

"Miss, do you want the money?" Although the voice was weak, the tone was indifferent.

"No need."

"Alright then." So Chu You took the Gold Pouch and tossed it into her spatial backpack, immediately increasing her Gold Coin tally by 20 million; the pouch itself vanished.

In fact, when Chu You had been reading the introduction to the Demon Emperor System, she had already calculated the cost of the Devil Seed, which was to rely on the characteristics of the Demon Soul to produce a Devil Seed at the cost of 10 million Gold Coins.

Because producing a Devil Seed requires 10 million Demon Society Energy and must absorb "Demon Will" from the main world. Lastly, through the Demon Orthodox Method of the Demon Emperor, a Devil Seed is crafted based on 10 million Demon Society Energy as the foundation... a Devil Seed!

According to the Demon Pot’s formula, 1 Gold Coin: 1 point of Demon Society Energy, so the answer is of course 10 million Gold Coins. That was the preferential ratio for the Demon Emperor who had activated the Spirit of the Demon Pot: it would be unknown how much it would cost others.

Well, calculating it based on Chu You, the Demon Emperor’s identity, she would consume 1000 points of Demon Emperor Energy to refine a Devil Seed!

The environment for the production of the Devil Seed must be in the main world, and it also consumes time, among other things.

Only the Demon Emperor can produce Devil Seeds; a Demon Lord of the same realm strength would not suffice. The soul consciousness of the Demon Lord also originates from the Devil Seed at the beginning, and the essence of the Demon Lord’s soul consciousness is the evolution of the Devil Seed, just like the current Demon Slaves.

From this, one could see the Demon Society System Diagram with the Demon Emperor’s Demon Soul as the core.

Demon Society really resembles a super terrifying insect race, and its food is clearly some kind of ’special consciousness’ from the world of bright and intelligent life forms!

At that moment, Chu You weakly raised her hand a bit before it quickly drooped down powerlessly, then Muses spoke up again.

"Hey, do you still want the Devil Seed?"

’Pfft!’ The imitation Taoist seemed to be injured by these words. He, who had been earnestly examining the Devil Seed, suddenly turned red-faced and looked distressed, as if an old injury had relapsed.

He incredulously raised his head again to look at Muses and the robed figure of Chu You, only to see another identical Devil Seed emerging from her body, just like the previous one.....

...

"Hmph." Chu You lets out a soft cold snort, and the Devil Seed at her chest re-enters her body. Lastly, she turns around and walks away with Muses, leaving behind the bewildered imitation Taoist.

There are four Devil Seeds in the imitation Taoist’s artifact, which means that there had been four transactions between Chu You and the imitation Taoist, each transaction worth 20 million Gold Coins, amounting to 80 million Gold Coins in total.

Thus, Chu You now has 870 million Gold Coins in her possession!

It wasn’t that the imitation Taoist didn’t want any more; he very much wished to obtain more Devil Seeds, but he truly couldn’t afford it anymore - he didn’t have that much money left.

As a result, Chu You was slightly dissatisfied....

Once they were outside, Muses spoke up, "Where did you get so many of these things? Do they already exist within the Demon Pot?"

"Exactly." Ah, Muses, I still have 10,060 Devil Seeds in my body; do you want to learn about it?!

"Good, in the future, if I need Devil Seeds, you’ll have to allocate some to me," Muses said matter-of-factly, unaware of the intricacies of the Demon Society System.

"No problem."

"Shall we continue looking around?"

"By the way, Muses, do you know if there’s a place here that sells ’time’?"

"Hmm? Are you talking about ’Runeword Time’ that accelerates rune growth?"

"That’s it." Chu You immediately realized that Muses was talking about the same thing as he had mentioned!

"Hehe, as far as I know, there is such a store here. It’s quite big too, though their identity is quite sigh-worthy. They are from the Jiuli God Race, but they have betrayed their own race."

"By chance, they came to Ancient Tanmaya, came here. Come on, I’ll take you there."

"Are you sure you can keep going?"

"I can manage; actually, I am in the process of recovering."

"That’s good to hear."
