After purchasing the materials, Xiao Jie transformed into the Gray Eagle and flew straight to Xiaofeng City.
Flying is really convenient, you can come and go as you please.
In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at the Dan Ding Hall in Xiaofeng City.
He spent 50 taels of silver to rent the Nine Yang Creation Divine Furnace, and began to prepare the Dragon and Tiger Banquet.
Soon, eight servings of the Dragon Lake Feast were freshly made.
Arriving at the auction house, after a moment of hesitation, Xiao Jie decided to sell them for 100 taels each. There’s no other reason; poor people definitely can’t afford this. Even if it were sold for 50 taels, they still couldn’t afford it. After all, those 4 attribute points are just the icing on the cake for most players, not making much of a difference. Ordinary folks with 50 taels of silver would be better off buying a good piece of equipment or learning a good skill.
It’s definitely more cost-effective than 4 extra attribute points.
For the wealthy, whether it’s 50 taels or 100 taels, it’s really not an issue, they can afford it.
As long as it can quickly enhance strength, spending money to solve it is no problem.
This is evident from the previous sale of the Corpse King Blood Marrow Pill. You should know that the pill only increases the blood volume limit by 15 points, yet it sells for 70 taels each, and there’s no fear of them not being sold.
From this, it’s clear that the wealthy in this game really aren’t short on money. Of course, the Corpse King Blood Marrow Pill has the advantage of no consumption limit, theoretically allowing unlimited use, leading to better sales and naturally higher prices.
But the 4 attribute points from the Dragon Lake Feast are definitely more valuable than a 15-point increase in blood volume limit, so selling them for 100 taels shouldn’t be a problem.
However, before offering them to the public, Xiao Jie considered his friends.
Xiao Jie himself had eaten the dragon meat version, so he didn’t need this bunch. If any teammates did, he could offer them at a discount.
Hidden Moon Following Wind: Hey, I made some Dragon and Tiger Banquets. Does anyone want them? If someone does, I’ll give them to you at cost price, 50 taels each.
Hao Mie: No need for me, I’ve eaten the dragon meat version.
Hidden Moon Following Wind: Hm? When did that happen?
Hao Mie: I exchanged points for it in the guild back then.
Dida La: I’m in the Magic System, so I’ll pass.
Bai Ze: I don’t need it either.
In the end, only An Ran and Jiu Jianxian each bought one.
taels of silver each, that’s 100 taels in the bag.
With the remaining six servings, Xiao Jie directly listed them all at the auction house, two at 100 taels each, two at 120 taels each, and another two at 150 taels each.
Now it’s just a matter of patiently waiting.
Noting that there’s still time left in the day and nothing much to do, Xiao Jie didn’t feel like going to kill monsters for leveling. He was already Level 35, meaning monsters below Level 26 wouldn’t give any experience.
Even monsters at Level 30 only give 50% experience.
Most maps can’t provide much of a level-up, and some high-danger maps do have high-level monsters to fight, but these maps are mostly unexplored, with little information available. Venturing alone, even with Xiao Jie’s current strength, would be quite dangerous.
So after considering, it’s better to let it go; there aren’t many suitable and safe maps for leveling up.
Feeling bored, Xiao Jie suddenly had a thought about Gu Feiyu’s ’Academic Introduction’ skill.
This skill is quite useful, as it increases comprehension by percentage, becoming more beneficial the higher the comprehension. Comprehension is something one can never have too much of, so it’s a must-learn.
Luckily, there’s an academy in Xiaofeng City, so Xiao Jie headed straight to the academy and approached the headmaster, explaining his intention.
"Sir, I wish to study here for a while, please instruct me."
The academy’s headmaster glanced at Xiao Jie but shook his head, "Our academy teaches the Saint’s Dao, and the reason for so much slaughter in the world is due to all the martial and fierce types. The Saint’s Dao speaks of peace and letting go. Someone like you, who enjoys fighting, cannot learn this. You should leave and not disturb the students reading."
What the heck, such a lack of courtesy?
Not even a bit of social grace was triggered.
But this game has enough freedom; talking tough, hey, I’m not afraid of anyone.
"Sir, you are mistaken. If it’s not for us who fight and suppress demons, how could you scholars possibly study quietly here? You’d have been eaten by demons already."
The old man shook his head, "No, no, don’t you know that it’s precisely your thinking that provokes so many conflicts in the world? If everyone could remain calm, why would there be so many who resort to banditry and murder?
As for demons and evil spirits, don’t you know that none are more evil than the human heart itself? Those ghosts are human-made; as long as one dedicates oneself to the Saint’s Dao, even demons can be taught to become human.
Your words are crude, thus not a learning seed; best not disturb others."
After speaking, he flicked his fan, covering half his face, looking indifferent.
Xiao Jie was speechless, unable even to give this old geezer a beating, so it seems he really can’t learn this skill.
"So only those who don’t know martial arts can learn the Saint’s Dao?"
In his mind, Xiao Jie calculated; so it seems Gu Feiyu’s idea was truly spot on.
’Many storylines only trigger when conditions are met,’ implying that not learning combat skills, not engaging in battles, is the requirement for acquiring academic skills.
In other words, only newcomers to the game have a chance to learn this skill.
Once you learn combat skills, this skill is off-limits.
Thinking this way, perhaps many other skills are also conditional, such as level, attributes, etc. Conditions too low won’t work; too good won’t work either.
