One gold coin per plant, Chu Mu immediately felt a headache. The money he received from the Executor was only one gold coin, which was used for purchasing various necessities for their living.

The mixing ratio of Jade Dew Mushroom and Tianlan grass was three to two. To mix Sky Blue Jade Luzhi, at least two Tianlan grasses were needed, which required two gold coins. Now, Chu Mu only had one gold coin…

“You’re an actor, right?” Seeing Chu Mu’s distressed expression, the shop assistant revealed a strange smile.

Chu Mu nodded and looked at the shop assistant.

“Around this time of year, there will be a large number of people like you flocking to the island. Before getting a position, most of you are penniless. In fact, even with a position, your salaries are not much, so you need to earn money by yourself.” The shop assistant seemed to know the situation well and said to Chu Mu.

“Is there a place here that buys Soul Cores, Soul Crystals, and Soul Pet materials?” Chu Mu asked.

“Go out and turn right, walk straight for about a hundred meters, and you’ll see a weird-looking old man…” said the shop assistant.

Chu Mu nodded, knowing that he didn’t have enough money to buy the two Tianlan grasses, and had to rely on selling some items to earn the two gold coins.

After leaving the potion shop, Chu Mu soon saw the weird old man the shop assistant mentioned.

The weird old man had completely white hair and sat alone in the small shop. The room was very empty, with nothing inside.

“Do you buy Soul Cores here?” Chu Mu went in and asked the old man.

“Yeah, how many do you have?” The old vendor looked half-dead and asked Chu Mu weakly.

Soul Pet food is very important, and many times Soul Pet trainers have to go to the business district to buy Soul Cores to feed their Soul Pets. Thus, Soul Cores are relatively circulating in the market, like currency.

“None, I just want to ask you where I can hunt, and what prices you buy at.” Chu Mu said.

The Soul Cores Chu Mu had were not worth any money, and it was impossible to sell them for a gold coin.

Moreover, in order to make MO Ye grow stronger, Chu Mu now had to seriously consider the feeding issue. He couldn’t simply feed MO Ye beast attribute Soul Cores like before. Even the feeding method of two Beast Attribute Soul Cores and one Fire Attribute Soul Core seemed not quite right to Chu Mu. Dual attribute Soul Cores must be purchased as MO Ye’s food as much as possible.

The prices of dual attribute Soul Cores would definitely be higher, and Chu Mu also needed to consider having funds to feed his Soul Pets in the future, so being a hunter to earn some money was necessary.

“For single attribute ones, excluding pure element types and soul types, first-level Soul Cores are purchased at copper coin prices, second-level at silver coin prices, and third-level at gold coin prices…” said the old vendor.

Ten copper coins make one silver coin, and ten silver coins make one gold coin.

What the old vendor meant by buying at copper coin prices was that the prices of single attribute first-level Soul Cores were between one copper coin and ten copper coins.

First-level Soul Cores of one-rank Soul Pets were only worth a few copper coins…

“Which places are suitable for hunting Soul Pets?” Chu Mu asked.

“South of the city, you can find them everywhere. The deeper you go into the island, the more powerful Soul Pets you’ll find,” the old vendor gloomily replied, as if he didn’t care whether Chu Mu traded with him or not. He just looked lifeless.

Chu Mu nodded, not bothering to visit other places, and went straight to the

South City mentioned by the old vendor, hoping to earn enough money to feed MO Ye in its second form as soon as possible, and to make the money for the two Tianlan grasses to help MO Ye rapidly increase its strength.

As Chu Mu left the South City Gate, he noticed some Soul Pet Masters directly riding on the backs of powerful soul pets into the city. The idea of galloping on a soul pet also struck his fancy…

Outside the city, he saw a relatively flat tropical grassland. About a hundred meters ahead was the island jungle.

“Come out, MO Ye.” Chu Mu knew that upon entering the jungle, he might encounter creatures that would actively attack people, so he had to be cautious.

After entering its second stage, MO Ye had yet to engage in a real battle. Chu

Mu wanted to understand MO Ye’s current combat strength through battle.

“An insect-type Four-Blade Giant Mantis, probably at the 8th stage, shouldn’t be a problem for us to handle,” Chu Mu quickly spotted his first prey in the jungle.

The battle-hungry MO Ye had been itching for a fight ever since it entered its second stage. It didn’t need Chu Mu’s command – it dashed like an arrow and quickly appeared before the Four-Blade Mantis!

The Four-Blade Mantis didn’t realize the danger until MO Ye was five meters away, sluggishly turning its body. However, MO Ye had already pounced on it, slashing with its sharp claws!

The Four-Blade Mantis had a tough meaty shell armor, but it was only a first-level defense shell. How could it withstand MO Ye’s second-level sharp claws? A long wound immediately appeared on it, green fluid leaking out.

“Hiss! !!!!!!” The Four-Blade Mantis was enraged. Its four limbs were like extremely sharp long sickles, slashing toward MO Ye with a blade cut!

Four strikes landed, leaves fluttering around, and a large tree was chopped in half. However, the Four-Blade Mantis’ blade cut failed to even touch MO Ye’s fur!

MO Ye had previously needed to use Moon Shadow to dodge this skill when facing fierce wolves, but now MO Ye was able to easily dodge it with just a few simple movements and jumps!

An 8th-stage Four-Blade Mantis was no match for MO Ye.

Moreover, MO Ye didn’t need to waste energy using any skills to effortlessly kill the Four-Blade Mantis.

“The soul crystal from this Four-Blade Mantis is worth around five copper coins. It seems there’s still quite a challenge to make at least three gold coins in a short time.” Chu Mu took the soul crystal from the Four-Blade Mantis and put it in his bag.

“Rustle, rustle.” As he stood up, Chu Mu immediately heard the sound of rustling tree leaves. He quickly looked towards the source and locked onto the creature on the tree canopy with his soul sense.

The jungle leaves were densely packed, and through them, Chu Mu could only see some grayish-white fur.

“Woo, woo.” MO Ye sensed the presence of other soul pets and immediately let out a challenging cry towards the grayish -white fur creature!

“Huff, huff!”

A slightly violent sound came from that location, as if provoked, the grayish-white fur creature suddenly leaped from the leaves and stomped heavily on the ground. Suddenly, with the creature’s feet as the center, the messy branches and leaves scattered around!

“Fur Monster, High-level Servant. Judging by its appearance, it should be below the Second Rank Third Stage…”

“MO Ye, this is the perfect opportunity for your first real opponent after your metamorphosis!” Chu Mu grinned, his eyes fixed on the irritable soul pet..
