  Chapter 13: The Method of Refining

  "But your talent is pretty good."

  The stall owner played with Ronan's two [Cleansing] runes, looked at him, and said, "What do you mean now?

  Are you going to sell the stuff to me?"

  "Just tell me whether you will accept it or not?"

  "Yes, of course."

  The stall owner nodded and said calmly: "Two [Cleansing] runes will give you one and a half low-level magic stones."

  "Shouldn't it be two pieces?"

  Ronan was anxious.

  "Come on, that's the selling price. Now it's the acquisition price."

  The stall owner replied unhappily, "Try to see if you can sell these two runes at the market.

  Who would normally buy one or two runes from you at a street stall? If they want to go, they should go to a regular rune shop."

  "So you're still setting up a stall here?"

  Ronan expressed disbelief.

  The stall owner seemed a little helpless, "I set up a stall mainly to collect things, I can't just put nothing on the stall..."

  "Well"

  "If you think the price is too low, take it to a regular rune shop and sell it yourself."

  The stall owner threw the two runes back to Ronan and said, "But don't blame me for not reminding you. The only regular rune shop is the Dwarf Market next door. It costs one magic stone to enter the Dwarf Market. And you are a stranger, and you are only selling two low-level universal runes. Regular rune shops may not accept them..."

  Ronan's face changed, and after thinking it over again and again, he had no choice but to agree.

  "Okay, okay, one and a half is fine."

  "OK."

  The transaction was completed. The stall owner took the rune and gave Ronan a low-level magic stone and fifty magic stone fragments.

  Ronan turned around and spent another fifty magic stones to buy ten blank runes from him.

  Maybe because Ronan was so poor, the stall owner suddenly showed kindness and gave him an extra ten yuan. He then patted Ronan on the shoulder and said, "Boy, don't think you can make money just by getting started.

  You've just started spending money. Think carefully about it."

  Ronan understood what the stall owner meant.

  The success rate of engraving runes for a novice rune master is too low, and he may not succeed once in ten times.

  It is difficult to make a profit in the early stage. You have to master a rune thoroughly before you can slowly turn losses into profits.

  However, Ronan has the blessing of a panel, and he can make progress every time he engraves, with a success rate far exceeding that of ordinary rune masters. The stall owner does not know this.

  Walking away from the stall, Ronan couldn't wait to take out the low-level magic stone he had just obtained.

  It was no longer some broken magic stone, but a genuine low-level magic stone, about the size of a pigeon egg.

  It is black in color, smooth in surface, cool to the touch and very hard.

  Holding it in your hand, you can clearly feel the energy particles accumulated inside.

  The main purpose of magic stones is to provide energy for magic tools and talisman arrays. They are also needed in many alchemical experiments, so they become hard currency among wizards.

  "I have to do this two or three more times at most, otherwise my rune talent will be completely exposed sooner or later."

  Ronan carefully put the magic stone into the money bag, thinking, "Once I have saved up some money, I will go to the rune shop to sell it myself."

  Although Ronan felt bad about the entrance fee of a low-level magic stone to the dwarf market, it was nothing compared to his own personal safety.

  It can also save the difference made by the middlemen.

  Ronan took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was a little after three in the afternoon, still relatively early, so he thought about strolling around the market some more.

  When you have money in your pocket, your whole mentality changes.

  Now Ronan also dared to stop in front of some stalls and pretend to ask the prices of things.

  "You dare to charge fifty magic stones for a low-level zero-level magic tool?... Too expensive!"

  Ronan walked away from a stall with a look of "disdain" on his face, completely ignoring the fact that the stall owner behind him was still shouting down the price from "forty-nine" to "forty-eight", as if he could really afford it after the price reduction.

  After walking a little further, Ronan's eyes suddenly stopped in front of a stall full of black books.

  His expression changed slightly and he walked up slowly.  

  The man setting up the stall was a young man who looked to be in his thirties. He was wearing leather armor, which was rare for him. He looked very energetic.

  Seeing a customer coming, the young wizard's eyes lit up and he greeted Ronan enthusiastically.

  "Just take a look. I have almost all spell books below level zero."

  Ronan felt the mental power emanating from the young man, which was obviously many times stronger than his own. He knew that the other party was a wizard apprentice who was much stronger than himself, and he behaved quite politely. He nodded and carefully flipped through the books.

  Just as the young wizard had said, his stall mainly sold spell books.

  "Collection of Level Zero Intermediate Fire Spells"

  "Collection of Level Zero Intermediate Ice Spells"

  "Collection of Level 0 Intermediate Electric Spells"

  These spell books were probably compiled and bound by the young wizard himself. The covers are similar and the names are the same, the only difference is the thickness.

  Ronan took a book of electric spells and tried to ask the price. After getting a number that he definitely couldn't afford, he thought about it and said hesitantly, "Actually, I want to buy a better set of knight training methods."

  "oh!"

  The young wizard was not too surprised when he learned Ronan's true purpose.

  He smiled and said, "Has the problem of energy particle erosion become more serious?

  I can tell from your appearance that you must be physically weak. It's time to practice..."

  Ronan nodded awkwardly.

  "You've found the right person."

  The young wizard turned his head and rummaged behind him for a while, then took out a thick bundle of books.

  These booklets were obviously not as exquisite as the spell books on the stalls. They looked like notes or something, and many of the covers were yellowed.

  Ronan picked up a book and flipped through it.

  "Lionheart Bodybuilding Technique: Passed down by the legendary knight Duke Lionheart of the Kingdom of Nan'ao."

  Pick up another one.

  ""Silver Cross Bodybuilding"."

  Ronan read a few books and felt that the effects were very good, at least they were exaggerated to be so. If they could reach one-tenth of the quality described above, it would be enough to meet his requirements.

  But when he asked about the price, he was shocked.

  "Why is it so expensive?"

  Ronan was a little confused. "Why would a copy of a mundane knight training method cost several magic stones?"

  "It's the most top-notch knight inheritance in the mortal world. If you train to the highest level, you might be able to compete with high-level apprentices."

  "The question is who can master this thing to perfection."

  Ronan kept shaking his head, "I just want to keep fit, I don't need any top knight inheritance.

  Is there anything cheaper? "

  "The cheaper ones are at the bottom. Two or three magic stones are enough, but the quality will be much different."

  "Cheaper. Give me the cheapest one."

  "The cheapest."

  The young wizard frowned and his attitude gradually became cold.

  He pulled out a book from under a pile of books and threw it in front of Ronan.

  "Look, this one is the cheapest. It doesn't have any sword skills or breathing techniques. It only has a few body-building postures that are said to be the training methods used by ascetics in ancient times."

  The young wizard paused for a moment, then continued, "It's absolutely fine if you just use it to strengthen your body."

  Ronan picked it up and flipped through it quickly, then asked, "How much is this?"
