Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1145: Chapter 402: Master Level Beast Tamer, Dragon Taming Reins

In the end, he found only one thing that truly excited him.

It was a damaged Energy Core, for which he spent a whopping 1.8 million Crowns to buy.

He glanced at the attribute.

[Master-level Energy Core (Repairable)]

[Status: Damaged]

[Materials needed for repair: Mithril*2500, Constant Gold Ingot*500, Demon Pattern Stone*300, Master-level Element Crystal*20]

(Note: An already damaged Energy Core, but the core components remain intact and can be repaired for continued use.)

...

A trace of joy appeared on Cao Xing’s face once again.

"According to Goblin Rock, the Earth Dragon Mecha can still be upgraded, but it requires a more advanced Energy Core."

"After going back, I’ll have him repair this Energy Core, and then we can start transforming the Earth Dragon Mecha."

"By then, I will have another Master-level war power."

Satisfied, he stored it in his backpack.

Having found another good item at the Black Market, Cao Xing was in a pretty good mood.

"In the ten rooms on the first two floors, they sell all sorts of strange and unusual things."

"And according to Jes, the truly valuable items are on the third floor of the castle."

"I hope... the Black Market store on the third floor will give me a bit more surprise."

The main purpose of this trip to the Black Market was to find a method to tame a Gryphon.

Whether a Contract Scroll or something else, as long as he could tame a Gryphon, Cao Xing was willing to pay a big price for it.

After all, these adult Gryphons are at least Fifth-tier Boss Level creatures, and their war power is quite formidable.

Of course, if there really aren’t any, he can only think of other methods then.

Thinking of this, he directly stepped into the third floor of the castle.

The third floor felt even more eerie.

The number of people here was noticeably fewer than the floors below.

Walking along the corridor, Cao Xing pushed open the door of the first room.

Inside was a room with dim lighting.

A faint herbal fragrance lingered in the air.

The layout was the same as the rooms below, with several cabinets displaying various goods.

Sitting behind the counter, a woman seemed to be in her thirties, nearing forty.

She wore a red dress and a red hat, keeping her head down so her face wasn’t visible.

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally encountered a normal human."

However, this was merely what Cao Xing considered normal.

When the woman lifted her head, a slightly ghastly face appeared.

Half of her face was disfigured, with three shocking scars, likely claw marks from some terrifying creature.

"Guest, what would you like?"

The woman spoke in a slightly low voice.

Cao Xing’s pupils slightly shifted, but he didn’t show any abnormality.

Calmly, he asked, "What are you selling here?"

The scarred woman chuckled lightly, "Please take a look, guest."

[Mysterious Woman: Samantha Fletcher offers you her list of goods. Do you agree?]

"Yes."

In an instant, a plethora of items appeared before him.

[White Mist Orchid (Purple)]: Price 4,000 Crowns (Stock 247)

[Dragon Blood Grass (Golden)]: Price 21,000 Crowns (Stock 153)

[Aurora Grass (Golden)]: Price 22,000 Crowns (Stock 162)

[Keda Flower (Golden)]: Price 330,000 Crowns (Stock 10)

[Blood Crystal Fruit (Golden)]: Price 1.12 million Crowns (Stock 12)

[Viren Flower (Golden)]: Price 1.07 million Crowns (Stock 11)

[Dark Night Abyss Fruit (Orange)]: Price 5 million Crowns (Stock 1)

...

Cao Xing’s eyes widened slightly, surprised to find such a wide selection of Golden Quality herbs here.

Among them was a material he urgently needed — the Keda Flower!

This item was the main material for crafting Epic Quality Secret Medicine.

Cao Xing glanced around the shelves.

The attributes of these herbs were instantly observed by him thanks to the system’s convenient functions.

Upon looking, he did find a few good things.

Very quickly, he made his decision.

"I need all the Keda Flowers, and that one Dark Night Abyss Fruit!"

As for the other herbs, like Dragon Blood Grass, Aurora Grass, etc., although all very important.

The prices are too high, requiring millions of Crowns to buy them.

Moreover, he had a better access route, which was the Trading Market.

With the base of over 900,000 people in the Four Districts, some lucky ones discover these herbs daily.

He reckoned using his items to trade with Survivors was more cost-effective.

The red-hooded woman listened and flashed a smile.

"Alright, 10 Keda Flowers, totaling 3.3 million Crowns."

"The Dark Night Abyss Fruit is 5 million Crowns, so you owe me a total of 8.3 million Crowns."

Cao Xing paid the Crowns readily, completing the transaction.

[Transaction successful: You received [Keda Flower (Golden)]*10, [Dark Night Abyss Fruit (Orange)]*1, and lost coins*8.3 million...]

With the items in hand, Cao Xing exhaled a sigh of relief.

The woman looked at him and continued to ask, "Anything else you’d like, guest?"

Cao Xing shook his head, "No, that’s all."

With those words, he turned and walked toward the door.

"Clang!"

After the door closed.

Cao Xing eyed his backpack.

Before going in, he had 53 million Crowns.

Upon exiting, 45 million Crowns remained.

In the blink of an eye, he had spent 8.3 million Crowns.

But clearly, the money was very worth it, incredibly worth it!

Besides the Keda Flower, this orange fruit also has excellent effects.

He glanced at the attribute.

[Dark Night Abyss Fruit (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect: After consumption, immediately increases Dark Night Affinity by 20%, boosting skill intensity and casting speed of creatures with Dark Night attributes by 20%]
