Full-Time Magister: All-Element Mutant Star Child

Dongfang Yang looked up at the stall owner, an old man.

Dongfang Yang looked at him and asked, "Sir, could you tell me about these things?"

The old man smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."

The old man pointed to the crystals on the stall and said, "Let me tell you, these are all necromancy crystals."

"The Undead Crystal is similar to a magic stone and a demon's gall; it is the essence of death energy refined by the undead over decades."

"Undead crystals have many uses, one of the simplest being to replenish mana. They work for any type of mana and are much better than slowly restoring mana with potions or using magical artifacts."

"Young man, I don't need to elaborate on the benefits of being able to quickly restore mana, right? Since you seem to like me, how about I sell you a piece of undead crystal for 100,000 yuan?"

Dongfang Yang knew about the Undead Crystal, but he only knew about it from the original work and books and materials from this world. This was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

While necromancy crystals can indeed restore a mage's mana, they're not as good as the old man described, nor are they that expensive.

According to the information Dongfang Yang had, slave-level undead crystals were incredibly cheap, costing only one or two thousand yuan per crystal.

Only general-level undead crystals are valuable; a single general-level undead crystal can sell for 100,000 yuan.

A Commander-level Undead Crystal is a true treasure; a single Commander-level Undead Crystal could sell for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Undead Crystals have many uses, including directly restoring a mage's mana. However, this method has side effects and isn't very efficient.

The Undead Crystal is condensed from the death energy within the body of the undead and contains their resentment. Using it too often in a short period of time may affect a mage's cultivation.

When a necromancer uses mana on a mage, the first time it is used in a day, it can restore about a quarter of the mana. The second time it is used, it can restore only one-eighth of the mana. The third time it is used, it is halved again... and the fifth and sixth times it is negligible.

This effect is only achieved when a beginner mage uses a servant-level undead crystal, or a mid-level mage uses a warrior-level undead crystal.

For a mid-level mage, using a servant-grade undead crystal to restore mana would have a negligible effect.

Dongfang Yang sensed that the energy fluctuations of the undead crystals displayed on the old man's stall were not strong, clearly indicating that they were undead crystals from slave-level undead.

Dongfang Yang wasn't angry. That's how it is when you run a street business.

Dongfang Yang said to the old man, "Grandpa, that's not fair. The undead crystals on your stall are clearly slave-level undead crystals. A slave-level undead crystal is only worth one or two thousand yuan."

"Using undead crystals to restore mana also has side effects. Why don't you mention that? You're really ripping people off."

The old man didn't feel embarrassed by Dongfang Yang's words. He simply flattered him, saying, "Young man, you know quite a lot. Since you're knowledgeable, how about I sell you a Necromancer Crystal for two thousand coins?"

Dongfang Yang responded, "Don't rush, tell me about the other things first."

The shop owner didn't refuse; he pointed to the bone fragments on the stall and said:

"These bone fragments are heterogeneous bone fragments. Although they are not as valuable as complete heterogeneous bones, they can still be used as auxiliary materials to work with complete heterogeneous bones in the crafting of magical tools. One heterogeneous bone fragment sells for 50,000 yuan."

Dongfang Yang carefully sensed the fragments and detected that several real bone fragments were mixed in with these strange bone fragments. Dongfang Yang pointed to the real bone fragments at the boss without saying anything.

The old man chuckled and said, "Hehe, young man, you see through it but don't say it."

Dongfang Yang didn't say anything more, and then he picked up a book from the stall and started reading.

These books are all village chronicles, written in Qin seal script, which is very similar to modern characters, and Dongfang Yang can understand them.

These village chronicles record events that occurred in a village called Yangyang Village during a certain period of time.

The records mostly detail when someone left the village to venture into the ancient capital, when someone became a mid-level mage, when someone became the village chief, and when the undead surrounded the village...

The recorded events seemed to be of little use to Dongfang Yang.

Dongfang Yang murmured to himself, "This Yangyang Village must be one of the dilapidated villages outside the ancient capital, a small village inherited from the descendants of an ancient king."

"There are undead crystals here, and these strange bone fragments also carry death energy. It's obvious that everything on this stall came from the ancient capital."

"But the ancient capital and the magical city are so far apart, why did he come here to sell things?"

While Dongfang Yang was reading and contemplating, the old man introduced the book to him:

"These books come from villages outside the ancient capital. Most of them record events from hundreds of years ago. Perhaps there are some clues to a future opportunity. If you're interested, young man, I'll sell you one for ten thousand yuan."

Dongfang Yang shook his head, put down the book in his hand, and then looked at the various trinkets left on the stall, which were rings, bracelets, pendants and the like.

The items were all different; some looked very old and had a sense of history, like antiques, while others emitted energy fluctuations and looked like magical artifacts.

However, Dongfang Yang could sense that some of these things were fake magical artifacts. These things were made of scrap metal, and the magical energy fluctuations were due to some fragments of magical stones hidden inside these scrap metal shells.

Besides the fake magical artifacts, there are also several broken magical artifacts, or magical artifact shells with very little energy left.

There are also some purely decorative items made of scrap metal, the kind that you can buy online for a dollar with free shipping.

Besides these items, there were also a few rings and pendants among these trinkets, but Dongfang Yang couldn't tell what they were.

Dongfang Yang didn't know what the gray-black ring was, but for some reason, he found it very appealing and wanted it.

The old man introduced these items to Dongfang Yang, saying, "These are ancient magical artifacts unearthed by archaeologists. I'll sell them to you for 100,000 each if you want."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: I have no idea what these ancient magical artifacts are for or whether they can be used. Don't come looking for me if you regret it later."

"If you buy these ancient magical artifacts and later discover their uses, you'll definitely make a profit, since even the cheapest magical artifacts cost over a million."

Hearing the old man's words, Dongfang Yang spoke without any hesitation:

"Grandpa, these ancient magical artifacts you're talking about, you didn't have folk craftsmen make them out of copper and iron, did you? Or are they just discarded magical artifacts you collected from somewhere?"

The old man immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? Although I might be exaggerating, the goods are genuine. Are you going to buy them or not? If not, don't just stand here and interfere with my business."

Dongfang Yang replied, "Of course I'll buy them. I'm very interested in these ancient magical artifacts, but 100,000 for one is too expensive. How about 10,000 for one?"

The old man began to haggle, saying, "Ten thousand yuan is too low. How about ninety thousand yuan? That's how much I paid for it. You have to let me make a profit."
