After the slave owners went bankrupt, they all wanted to keep me as a mistress.

Serafia thought for a moment and casually said, "If it takes too long, it will be troublesome if they cause casualties."

"We should still be in Earth City at that time. If Miss Saintess is planning to deal with these monsters, why don't we go together?"

Mu Qiu said with a smile.

He planned to stay in the City of Earth for about a week. If he could build a good relationship with the Holy Maiden of the Earth Temple, he would have more places to spend money in the future.

Mu Qiu has now discovered the key to the problem: his efficiency in losing money each time is too low. He needs high-end places to help him lose money quickly!

To indulge in high-end consumption, one must befriend prominent figures like the Holy Maiden.

Mu Qiu did not want to give gifts to other nobles, as that was the business of merchants and would make them appear inferior. However, even for great nobles, donating to the temple was perfectly reasonable.

Although the system forbids him from making direct donations, he can easily buy divine scrolls at high prices and indirectly send money to the Holy Maiden!

The Saintess still refers to him as "Mr. Traveler," which clearly shows that he doesn't hold a significant place in her heart. He needs to find a way to increase his importance in her eyes.

Serafia nodded slightly in agreement, then pointed to the potion on the stone wall and asked:

"Sir traveler, would you like to take some of these potions?"

Mu Qiu waved his hand and took the opportunity to change his form of address in an attempt to get closer to her: "No need, Miss Fia, I don't need these potions, and you were the one who killed the monster, so these spoils should rightfully be yours."

The blonde saintess nodded slightly, agreeing with Mu Qiu's statement, and showed no dislike for his form of address: "Thank you so much, Mr. Traveler. Here is a potion that I can use."

As she spoke, Serafia picked up the bottle of sixth-tier "All-Purpose Purification Potion".

Although it's not legendary, since it's a potion that can purify, let's take it.

Her body has very poor drug tolerance; if the same type of potion is used repeatedly, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

The new purifying potion, which has never been used before, is bound to be somewhat useful.

Of course, it cannot be used here. At least after returning to the temple, find an absolutely quiet place and start by taking a small dose.

Seraphia has always been very cautious. She would never take a potion she had never used before unless it was an emergency, even if she had verified its effectiveness.

In places like dungeons, taking potions indiscriminately can be life-threatening.

Because quick potion identification can only identify the usual effects, but if other ingredients are mixed into the potion, such as physical ingredients that lure monsters, they are often impossible to identify quickly with spells. A professional appraiser is needed to identify every ingredient in the potion.

Therefore, experienced adventurers will not take potions obtained from dungeons indiscriminately, unless they are potions obtained from treasure chests, because those are gifts from the dungeons to adventurers.

Is it just the right time to use it?

Mu Qiu was taken aback, and looked at the potion in Serafia's hand, his eyes instantly becoming subtle.

Isn't this... one of those dark magic potions that makes you go "ooh ooh ...

Chapter 108 The Saintess Who Drank the Succubus's Kiss Given by Mu Qiu!

So, Miss Saintess has this kind of fetish?!

If it were Mu Qiu who had just arrived in this other world, he certainly wouldn't think that way.

But after being influenced by Vera for so long, he couldn't help but start thinking about that kind of thing whenever he saw the dark potion in Serafia's hand.

If the Holy Maiden is truly interested in this type of potion...

Thinking this, Mu Qiu suddenly stepped forward, approached Serafia, and lowered his voice, saying, "Miss Fia, I also have a batch of really good stuff here, even more potent than the potion you have! Do you want it?"

"A rare find?"

Serafia was puzzled, wondering why Mu Qiu was acting so mysteriously.

"Sir Traveler, what kind of 'tough stuff' are you talking about...?"

"This is it!"

Mu Qiu flipped his right hand, and a bottle of pinkish-purple potion appeared in his palm. The label on the bottle showed a blurry profile locked by a heart-shaped symbol.

This is the Succubus's Kiss that I bought from the merchant lady that day!

A legendary dark potion, said to be able to make anyone addicted to desire!

The difference between the seventh and sixth tiers may seem like only one tier, but the effects are worlds apart!

The legendary dark potion is definitely ten times, or even nine times, more powerful than the sixth-tier potion in Seraphia's possession!

Mu Qiu thought to himself, since Serafia is interested in dark potions, he could simply cater to her tastes and give her a higher-grade dark potion!

Besides, Serafia herself is a legend. If she wants to seek thrills through dark potions, then she will definitely go all the way!

Sixth-tier potions might not be enough for her to satisfy her desires.

An epic potion, however, could be too much of a problem, potentially causing her desires to spiral out of control.

A legendary dark potion—perhaps just what Miss Serafia needs!

As for why Serafia was interested in dark potions, Mu Qiu wouldn't ask.

Perhaps she wanted to cultivate her willpower by using this dark potion, to resist her desires with willpower. Perhaps she was obsessed with using this potion and had become addicted to it.

"This is……?"

Serafia's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although this potion bears the name "Succubus's Kiss," it actually has nothing to do with succubi.

Just like there's no wife in a wife cake, there's no succubus saliva in a succubus's kiss. The raw material for the potion is actually taken from the bodily fluids of a certain high-level goat-like magical beast.

If it were to be given a scientific name, something like "Goat's New Liquid" might be more fitting, but that name is clearly not dark enough and sounds rather bizarre, so the founder named it "Succubus's Kiss".

Because this potion had nothing to do with succubi, Serafia didn't sense any similar aura from the curse on her lower abdomen. She just felt that the potion looked a little strange and didn't seem like a proper potion.

Out of her usual cautious nature, Serafia casually tossed over a Tier 5 single-target identification spell.

[A seventh-tier potion that suppresses or removes most curse effects and negative statuses, grants a state of extreme euphoria, increases blood flow, enhances resilience, and improves physical recovery... ???]

"This magic potion!!!"

Beneath the black cloth, a hint of surprise flashed in Serafia's eyes.

This potion looks like the real all-purpose purifying potion!

It's many levels higher than the sixth-tier potion in her hand!

However, judging from its effects, it might be a magical potion intended for warriors?

Serafia had never taken any dark potions. Although as a saintess of the temple, she had identified and confiscated some dark potions that had come from the black market, those potions were only low- to mid-level potions with mediocre effects.

Legendary Dark Potions can actually be used as combat potions!

The reasons for this are complex. First, these dark potions used to enhance desire often stimulate the human heart and accelerate blood flow.

However, if the drug is too strong, it may cause someone to suddenly convulse after taking it!

Therefore, at the level of legendary potions, they must be able to protect the user's internal organs for a short period of time, ensuring that the user does not explode due to excessively rapid blood flow!

Secondly, when this state of extreme excitement reaches a certain level, other negative states in the body are often suppressed instantly.

This is also one of the biggest differences between this and purification potions.

This dark potion, which excites both the body and mind, focuses on suppressing curses and negative states, rather than completely removing them.

Finally, legendary dark potions can only be crafted by legendary potion makers. Dark potions are inherently illicit, and sometimes buyers even use public funds to purchase them. The two parties in a transaction often need to disguise the items as other types of potions.

Therefore, these dark potion makers specialize in making legendary-grade and above dark potions that resemble warrior's divine potions like Dragon Blood Potions. It is difficult for an experienced appraiser to identify whether it is a dark potion or not.

Low- to mid-level dark potions are often disguised as other types of potions for trade.

Seeing the effects of this legendary potion, Serafia subconsciously assumed it was a legendary potion used by warriors.

It can provide effects similar to a berserker, while also purifying the user's negative status effects!

Although it's not a professional purification potion, as a legendary potion, its effects are definitely much stronger!

“Traveler, this…this is too precious.”

Serafia instinctively wanted to refuse, but Mu Qiu grabbed her slender hand, which was gloved with white silk, and slapped the potion onto her without saying a word!

“Miss Fia! Since you have given us the right to purchase high-level divine spell scrolls, I, Mu, should reciprocate in kind. This bottle of potion is a gift to thank you!”

"If you don't accept it, then you don't consider me a friend!"

After hearing this, Serafia felt too embarrassed to refuse.

She hesitated for a moment, then put the potion away, her tone softening slightly: "Mr. Mu, to be honest, I really need this potion. If you ever encounter any trouble in the future, please be sure to tell me. As long as it's not against the will of the Earth Mother, I will help you!"

I've finally changed how I address him!

Mu Qiu felt slightly happy.

He knew that he had already gained some standing in the heart of this holy maiden of the Earth Temple.

In this way, through Serafia's connection, he could also smoothly infiltrate the upper class of the Orion Empire and have more options for high-end consumption!

"Miss Fia, you're too kind."

With just a small change in address, the distance between the two parties instantly shortened considerably.

After looting the potions from the cave, Mu Qiu pointed to the path the three intelligent monsters had taken and asked, "Should we go this way?"

Serafia nodded gently.

Following this path, they soon emerged from the cave and arrived at the main passage.

"Is this...the main passage of the forty-third floor?"

Mu Qiu looked around but did not find any caves like the one in the passage on the forty-fifth floor.

"Mr. Mu, let's go back."

Serafia walked up to Mu Qiu with her long, slender legs, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on her usually aloof face.

Mu Qiu nodded slightly and walked back side by side with the Holy Maiden.

The main passage was silent. The flesh and blood of the monsters along the way had been devoured by the dungeon, leaving only a few skeletons. But it wouldn't be long before these skeletons were also swallowed up by the dungeon and soon gave birth to new monsters.

"By the way, the materials from these monsters don't seem to be very valuable?"

Mu Qiu suddenly thought of something and spoke up.

"Well... not entirely."

Serafia gently shook her head, her golden hair falling behind her head swaying slightly with her movement, brushing against Mu Qiu's cheek, carrying a faint, girlish fragrance.

"The materials from ordinary monsters are indeed of average value. High-level adventurers usually don't bother collecting materials from low- to mid-level monsters. However, some specific materials are quite valuable. Also, the magical power within lord-level monsters is often stronger than that of monsters of the same level, making their materials even more precious."

"After all, these are monster materials produced in the dungeon, and they will have a cursed aura on them. They need to be purified before they can be used in the production of equipment, potions, etc."

She paused, then continued, "However, there are also unscrupulous merchants who don't purify monster materials in order to save costs, because adventurers often find it difficult to distinguish what raw materials are used to make potions and equipment on the spot, and they often only notice it after using them for a period of time."

Seraphia glanced at the black-haired boy beside her, remembering that he seemed quite interested in potions, and reminded him, "To avoid this situation, it's best to buy them from a reputable potion shop."

"Reputable potion shops will only buy potions produced by individual potion makers who have a potion maker certificate."

"Without a potion master certificate issued by the Potions Guild, these legitimate potion shops will not buy potions of unknown origin, because if an adventurer gets into trouble with them, the potion shop will be held responsible."

"Large chain chambers of commerce, for the sake of their reputation, usually do not purchase potions from individual potion makers. They only cooperate with local potion guilds, and these guilds also have some long-established potion makers with whom they have regular cooperation, and they also hire some guest potion makers..."

Mu Qiu looked enlightened.

It turned out to be the case.

Monster materials are cheap because they need to be purified before they can be used.

Although Serafia did not mention the black market, Mu Qiu believed that these were all policies set by the empire. As for the specific implementation in each territory and city, it depended on how the local lords and city chiefs carried them out.

If the city lord does nothing, legitimate potion shops may buy potions from individual potion makers at low prices.
