Chapter 41

Descending Down the Mountain

Sponsored Chapter by David Trinh .

Stupid college . . .

The energy potion that was on the very top was that . The greatest energy potion of all time . From what he heard, all big energy potions were protected heavily in martial art temples and are given to the select few . That potion was an item for sale .

“The price…!”

Sungmin breathed loudly at the price . It was way more than what he expected . Neville looked at Sungmin and nonchalantly said .

“The big energy potion is best of the best potion made with alchemy . The price is fair for what it’s worth . If you take it, you will receive decades of inner strength . You can’t buy time no matter how much money you have, so decades of inner strength should be worth this price .

He could understand the price . He was just surprised at how expensive it was . Sungmin swallowed and searched up the energy potion that he had taken before . It was there . It was pretty expensive, but it was nothing compared to the big energy potion .

“There are raw energy potion that loses efficiency when taken . But I can’t recommend them to you . There are side effects to taking unrefined energy potions . So for example, if you take the millennium ginseng, the ying and the yang of your body would fall apart . You would have too much yin . So your body might fall apart . It would be a different story if you practiced a yang cultivation method . ”

Nevilled advised . Sungmin looked away from the potion . It wasn’t that he didn’t want it, but the prices were way too high for him . He searched up martial arts .

There, he breathed loudly again . There were a variety of martial arts sold .

“There are many types of martial arts . The otherworlders coming into Eria are all different . The same sword technique may have a slightly different form . But they all can be called a grace technique . ”

He didn’t understand . Were all these grace techniques so easy to buy? No, the prices were incredibly high so he wouldn’t be able to easily buy them . Neville laughed at Sungmin’s shock .

“DIdn’t I say . We have various connections with many customers and guilds . Ah… also, if you buy a martial art with us and practice, we won’t take care of any mess that happens . ”

He could understand what Neville meant . If he randomly used a technique that was a secret to only a certain sect, the sect would take notice . If he couldn’t give a good reason for that, the sect may try to do things to confiscate the technique back .

There weren’t only martial arts that he could buy here . There were magic books here as well . The organized magic from branches to small magics, Sungmin felt horrified at the objects that were being sold . He had never thought that magic, martial arts, and energy potions could be sold like this .

“ . . . Do you need a qualification to be a member of Ereburisa?”

“That is true . The easiest way is, like you, getting recommended by another member . To be honest, being recommended doesn’t completely make you a member . . . but Mush is a frequent customer of ours, so we slightly twisted the rules . ”

Neville said that and nodded his head ot Mish . To that, Sungmin tilted his head . What would Mush have to sell to a guild like this?

“Souls . ”

Mush answred .

“The souls of the people who died in this mountain . I sold those . ”

Mush said nonchalantly . Sungmin's face hardened .

“You… sold the souls of humans . ”

“You’re taking it the wrong way . This mountain is my property . The souls of the people that die here are all mine . Is there something wrong with me doing whatever I want with my things?”

Mush only asked back . Mush wasn’t a person but a goddess . Morals didn’t apply to her .

“Souls are a good trading object . There are many people that want human souls . The black magicians and the demonic cults . Sometimes dragon… demons . Isn’t it good for everyone if you have transactions like this? It’s better to selling souls to them instead of having them trying to mass murder . And also…”

Neville’s eyes narrowed .

“If you want . We can give you a lot if you pawn off your soul to use . The soul that defied the principle has great value . Ah, it’s only a pawn though, you can pay off the debt later…”

“Don’t listen to that . If you give your soul to me, it’ll be better . Don’t you want talent? Like I said before, if you sell your soul to me, I can give you whatever you want . ”

Mush cut him off . Sungmin could understand something . They wanted his soul . The soul that defied death must have an expensive cost that he didn’t know .

“I don’t have any thoughts about that now . ”

Sungmin sighed . Mush said . He received a lot of stacks after defying the principle . It wouldn’t do anything to him now, but after he died… he would suffer for ages .

Therefore, death wasn’t a resting place for him . Sungmin only had a painful end .

But he didn’t want to sell his soul .

“I don’t have anything that I want to transaction yet . I don’t have any money . Later… I will call you if I need something . ”

“Call me whenever . Ah, and this…”

Neville lifted his hand . Tap! As his fingers snapped, a small light enveloped Sungin .

“This is just a small thing for becoming a member of Ereburisa . ”

His appearance turned clean . The clothes were still rags, but it didn’t leave any bad odors or have any dirtiness . It wasn’t just his clothes . His hair and body that haven’t been washed in a year turned clean .

“Then I’ll see you later . ”

Neville’s body disappeared . Was that magic? No, everything that Neville did would be magic then . Sungmin muttered looking down at himself .

“There are so many things that I don’t know . ”

“The world is big . It’s a great thing that you became a member of Ereburisa . I don’t regret giving it to as a reward . ”

Mush muttered and looked at Sungmin .

“Where will you go now?”

“ . . . i’m first going to go to Behengeru and become a mercenary . ”

“A mercenary . Haha . That’s not too bad . Do whatever you want . ”

Mush muttered and took steps back .

“Don’t forget what I said to myself . ”

To that, Mush turned to smoke . Sungmin looked at the place where she was and looked down at himself . There are no coincidences in the world . If he came back, there was a reason why .

That kind of stuck on his mind .

From his life, there were so many coincidences . Jack and Hans . Wijihoyun . Mush and Sogo . Those were all coincidences .

But if there were no coincidences, were those meetings not coincidences?

‘I don’t know . ’

Sungmin sighed and turned around .

He had to leave this mountain first .
