"Awoo, boss, look, thereâs good stuff here."
Er Gou really is a qualified treasure-finding husky, digging out a pile of materials from the Cat Demon Nest.
Although most are ordinary level and high-quality level items, there are some rare level items mixed in, those nice green quality things.
Hang Yu glanced over them briefly.
Nothing particularly useful.
He waved his hand freely: "Dog, you did a great job this time, and since you found all these things, consider them a reward for your help."
"Thanks, boss, youâre generous!"
The dog was extremely excited, wagging his tongue and jumping around happily.
Er Gou picked out a few to eat first, and asked the boss to pack up the rest and hang them on him, as there were over a hundred materials, and even a dog would have trouble digesting too much at once.
The husky decided to save the rich rewards.
Er Gou planned to establish his own treasure dog stash!
"Boss, boss, what are we doing next?"
Hang Yu checked the time. Since entering the Spirit Realm, not even four hours had passed yet, "Weâll continue exploring the mazeâs outskirts, where the density of elite monsters is high, and plenty of treasures are hidden. We canât miss out; letâs scout ahead."
"Okay, boss! Awoo!"
Er Gou sent out two husky clones to scout ahead.
Hang Yu continued adventuring with the dog in the World Tower Labyrinth.
He became even more cautious, not daring to expose himself for too long, lest he attract stone golems again. The good thing that happened just now couldnât be repeated a second time.
Firstly, the cooldown time for transformation magical potions is very long.
At least a dayâs time wouldnât allow the use of such potions.
Secondly, there couldnât be a second Cat Demon Nest in this area, so situations like the one just now couldnât be replicated. Playing it safe by leveling up and getting equipment from combat is the right way.
The maze outskirts have monsters at levels 6-7.
The proportion of elite monsters is quite high.
On average, one in four monsters is an elite.
Additionally, there are elite monster groups like the Jungle Cat Demon.
Hang Yuâs current strength is very suitable for leveling up in the World Tower Labyrinth outskirts.
Moreover, Hang Yu has an advantage that most people donâtâthree treasure-finding huskies!
These three treasure-finding huskies can not only scout and warn but also find many high-quality green materials.
Of course.
No heavenly materials and earthly treasures that increase attributes were found again.
Although Hang Yu felt a bit regretful, this is also quite normal. If attribute-boosting heavenly materials and earthly treasures were as common as cabbages, they wouldnât be valuable at all.
Regarding the collected materials.
He keeps whatâs useful for himself.
And rewards the useless ones to the dog.
The husky has had a bumper harvest today, and the treasure dog stash is getting richer. Moreover, adventuring with the boss, the spiritual qi gained is quite substantial.
Since entering the maze up till now.
Er Gou has accumulated nearly four hundred spiritual qi.
Because the spiritual qi released by level 6-7 monsters is of high quality for a husky thatâs only level 4, the absorption rate is very high.
Hang Yu is in a similar situation.
He is wearing a Spirit-Gathering Golden Lotus.
The Spirit-Gathering Lotus can increase spiritual qi absorption by ten percent.
Therefore, even when splitting the spiritual qi, Hang Yu absorbs more spiritual qi than the dog, not less.
Moreover, due to absorbing a green Spirit Fruit.
The spiritual qi reached a critical point, naturally breaking through.
Er Gou immediately said: "Congratulations, boss, on leveling up!"
Hang Yu officially became a level 6 Combat Professional!
The level 6 Combat Professional shows significant growth in all aspects!
He felt that the boost effect from going from level 5 to level 6 is greater than any previous time.
Hang Yu opened his personal information: Level 6 Combat Professional, Life Energy 56, Spiritual Power 36... Spiritual Qi 28/2000
Itâs not hard to notice.
From levels 1-5, each level up increases Life Energy by 5 points and Spiritual Power by 2 points.
But from level 5 to level 6, Life Energy increases by 10 points, Spiritual Power by 4 points.
This is actually normal.
Because leveling up in the Spirit Realm becomes increasingly difficult.
Donât ever think that as long as thereâs enough time, everyone can become stronger, and everyone can reach the top level, becoming gods and saints is just a matter of time.
Itâs impossible!
The higher the level, the more troublesome leveling up becomes.
Future level-ups not only require massive amounts of spiritual qi.
But also additional conditions, like collecting specific rank spiritual qi to push through the final barrier, or needing specific materials to break through bottlenecks, etc.
The more advanced the level.
The harder it is to break through.
In the Spirit Realm, due to lack of conditions for breaking through or inability to meet those conditions, itâs not uncommon for people to be stuck at a certain level for decades, even a century.
But thereâs no need to feel discouraged.
Because the higher the level, the harder the improvement, but its value also increases exponentially. For example, Hang Yuâs improvement from level 5 to level 6, where Life Energy and Spiritual Power doubled compared to before.
As levels continue to rise in the future.
This kind of boost will continue to accelerate.
Even if the same Spirit Realm creatures are involved, humans have a great advantage in growth speed compared to most natives, and if the current trend continues, it should be possible to establish a foothold in the Spirit Realm within three years.
After killing another two or three waves of monsters.
Hang Yu felt a bit tired, "Dog, come back, weâve gained enough, letâs call it a day."
"Awoo, itâs dark so soon? I feel like Iâm just getting warmed up and could fight for three days and three nights!"
"There are many stone golems that come out at night, this place is too dangerous, itâs time to stop."
"Awoo, I see, what a pity!"
Counting the number of White Crystal Stones.
When Hang Yu entered the Spirit Realm, he had a bit over sixty White Crystals, received a dozen after slaying the first Cat Demon, then got about fifty from the Cat Demon Nest, and gathered over forty during hunts.
In total, 178 White Crystal Stones remain!
To be fair.
This quantity is already a lot!
But for Hang Yu, itâs totally not enough to use!
Getting Crystals is really a tough job.
For that reason, there needs to be a creation of passive income streams, like restaurants, pharmacies, and equipment stores, if these businesses grow big enough, they could generate significant daily profits, making it much easier than tiring oneself out hunting for money.
Hang Yu headed to the Cat Demonâs Back Garden.
Leaving only the teleportation fee, he exchanged all other White Crystal Stones for Demon Cat Flowers and Blue Claw Grass seeds.
Why do this?
Because itâs a surefire business!
Even though a bag of Demon Cat Flower seeds costs as much as fifteen White Crystals.
But a bag has about 200 seeds of Demon Cat Flowers.
These Demon Cat Flowers are the main ingredient for crafting Cat Demon Transformation Magical Potions, and as for the few gray auxiliary materials, theyâre low in price and not worth mentioning. Even accounting for failure rates, if you only manage to brew a hundred potions, youâd be making a killing.
How powerful is the Cat Demon Transformation Magical Potion?
This potion is incredibly helpful for people at this stage.
When used for saving lives during a BOSS fight or in critical moments, itâs even better than a Skill Scroll.
Therefore, selling it for 2-3 White Crystals is not unreasonable; selling a hundred potion bottles could net two or three hundred White Crystals, and after deducting seed materials and labor costs, it could conservatively bring around two hundred White Crystals in profit.
Itâs simply a huge profit!
If someone like Bai, who has Intermediate Medicine Refining and Intermediate Alchemy, personally crafted them, the success rate would definitely hit 80-90%, making the profits even more astonishing!
There is a market window period for low-level magical potions.
Once most peopleâs levels exceed 6, low-level magical potions might not sell as well.
But Hang Yu still has the secret medicine as a trump card.
No one thinks they have too many base attributes.
Therefore, the secret medicine offers a more long-term and broader market.
A secret medicine recipe is like holding a money tree.
Demon Cat Flower and Blue Claw Grass are essential materials for crafting secret medicines.
Hence, no matter the angle, it never hurts to hoard some seeds on hand; whether itâs five, eight days short-term or ten, half a month long-term, this bit of effort now can yield ten to twenty times the return.
Itâs more profitable than loan sharking.
After buying the seeds, Hang Yu immediately activated a Teleportation Scroll, first returning to the Teleportation Stele in the World Tower Labyrinth, then activated the Teleportation Stele to return to the Wild Boar Stronghold.
The harvest this time wasnât small at all.
A large pile of unusable equipment Skill Stones held for no reason also took up space.
He decided to take them out and see if he could exchange for something useful for himself, and at the same time get a Spirit Beast Contract to bring out the Human-faced Giant Ant.
Though the Human-faced Giant Ant, like Er Gou, doesnât possess particularly strong direct combat power.
But as a summoned Spirit Beast, it holds cultivation value.
Many people at the camp still hadnât returned.
But that didnât matter.
Setting up a stall first.
Er Gou cleverly stood up, shook his fur, cleared his throat, and then stood forward, he loved doing business with humans, helping the boss set up shop to sell equipment was the duty of a dog.
Dog Clone Skill!
Three huskies appeared in the camp.
The three Erhas simultaneously spread the word.
"Awoo awoo awoo!"
"Look here! Look here!"
"Donât miss out if you pass by!"
"The number one master in this camp, my handsome boss, is having a clearance sale on top-grade equipment. What are you waiting for, buying is earning!"
