Chapter 797 - 789: No Pattern
Chapter 789
Mao Xize listened to the Great Elder’s words, revealing a confused expression, "I... I really don’t know."
He had no impression at all.
Whatever happened after the transformation, he couldn’t remember.
If the Great Elder hadn’t told him, he wouldn’t know.
But he could be sure that after transforming, his power wasn’t something that could be compared with the ordinary.
It was precisely because of this ability that the Cat Clan Beastmen continued to survive.
It was also why everyone dared to take the risk to set up stalls at the Ten Thousand Treasures Collection.
Mao Xize’s transformation ability was both terrifying and uncontrollable for them, yet it was a safeguard for the Cat Clan Tribe.
But why Mao Xize had such a condition and what secrets he harbored, no one knew.
It was just one day, when Mao Xize was about to break through to the Fourth Realm, suddenly black gas emanated from his body.
After that, he slept for many days, his powers regressed, but at night, his abilities became very strong, and he would transform.
Even his original cat form would change into another appearance.
It was really quite strange.
But fortunately, even after transforming, Mao Xize didn’t harm the tribe’s beastmen.
So the Great Elder and the Clan Leader accepted Mao Xize’s situation.
But the other beastmen in the tribe didn’t know.
Previously, to protect Mao Xize and hide his secret, the Cat Clan Beastmen stayed indoors on full moon nights.
Because at the very beginning, Mao Xize would only transform on full moon nights.
Later, it gradually became that he would occasionally transform at night, without any regular pattern.
But it was always at night; such things never happened during the day.
But just now, it was during the day.
Luckily, no one noticed Mao Xize’s anomaly earlier.
The Great Elder was silent for a moment, then said, "Keep your mind steady; don’t let the night version of yourself affect your spirit."
Mao Xize nodded and said, "Yes, Great Elder, I understand."
"I know what I should do."
"It’s just..."
Just that there was a vague voice in his mind, urging him to do certain things.
The Great Elder saw that his face wasn’t right and asked, "Just what?"
Mao Xize shook his head and said, "It’s nothing."
He felt like he was overthinking.
He was also frustrated at why there seemed to be another voice in his mind.
It hadn’t been like this before.
It seemed to have started after meeting Miss Su and Mr. Mei.
Too strange.
...
Su Muyao naturally didn’t know any of this.
She let Shen Ci’an hold her for a while, insisting on setting up the stall.
All the goods were arranged by Yue Wuhen.
At this time, many beastmen were wandering around the market; seeing the herbal medicine bags and some medicine on Su Muyao’s stall, they asked, "Do you have Purification Potion here?"
Su Muyao explained, "We have Purification Elixirs here. The Purification Elixirs are more effective than the Purification Potions."
As soon as Su Muyao finished speaking, that beastman exclaimed, "What, Purification Elixirs?"
He was truly shocked.
He knew that only outsider beastmen would have elixirs, and elixirs were extremely precious with excellent medicinal effects.
This person’s exclamation immediately drew the attention of many beastmen around.
The crowd quickly gathered in front of Su Muyao’s stall.
"Did I hear wrong? It’s Purification Elixirs, not Purification Potions?"
"Didn’t they say Purification Potions are gone? Even if there are any, they’re extremely rare. How can there be Purification Elixirs? Are they really effective?"
"They wouldn’t belong to the Meng Hun clan, would they?"
"Right, previously, some beastmen selling were all fake potions, completely useless."
"They might be real. I’ve been wandering for so long without seeing any Purification Potions. If there are Purification Elixirs, I have to at least try..."
"Who knows if they’ll raise the price once they open their mouths."
"Elixirs must be more expensive than potions. Purification Elixirs, a life-saving thing, even if expensive, must be bought..."
"How many are there, I wonder..."
The crowd was gathered around Su Muyao’s stall, chattering away.
They also began to ask Su Muyao.
Some even squeezed forward with all their might.
However, Shen Ci’an and the others were protecting Su Muyao well.
But some were too frantic, and even Shen Ci’an and the others couldn’t intervene.
Yue Wuhen released a strand of power, blocking the front of the stall.
Controlling it so that people couldn’t get too close.
Su Muyao patiently explained, "There are indeed Purification Elixirs, but the quantity is limited, first-come, first-served."
"The price isn’t very high; it depends on what everyone brings for exchange."
"Everyone, please don’t crowd. If you wish to buy, you can queue here."
"If you don’t believe it, you can use it immediately after purchasing. If it doesn’t work, we won’t take your goods."
Teng Lixuan listened to Su Muyao’s words, understood her meaning, and quickly used vines to form a path in front of the stall, so everyone could queue one by one within it.
Some held Crystal Stones, some used Pottery Jars, and others directly exchanged with tribal resources.
Seeing it was almost time, Su Muyao let everyone exchange for Purification Elixirs.
A Beastman at the front exchanged a lot of herbs for a Purification Elixir, not believing it, he directly ate it on the spot.
But within moments, he felt the pollution on him reduced by over half.
He was so excited he almost knelt to thank Su Muyao and the others, "Thank you, Pharmacist, this elixir works wonders, my pollution is reduced by over half."
The pollution on him was thick before, almost causing him to go berserk and die.
Who would have thought he would come back to life suddenly?
Other Beastmen who were skeptical became more excited and eagerly wanted to buy Purification Potion.
But Su Muyao directly limited the sale.
When a small boy reached his turn, he lowered the sack he carried, "I... I can use this to exchange, right?"
He was thin and pale, clearly looking malnourished for a long time.
Su Muyao looked down and saw what was inside the sack were fruits.
Beside them, a Beastman saw the fruits and said, "No one eats these kinds of fruits."
"Yes, they might even carry pollution."
"I know him. He’s out of options; he’s a wandering Ice Wolf Beastman."
"Ah, Ice Wolf Beastman, wasn’t that the tribe that was wiped out overnight before?"
"Yes, only a small number of Ice Wolf Beastmen still live. This boy’s mom went crazy from pollution, and it’s said his dad also got heavily injured. This kid is surviving by gathering food in the mountains and forests."
Someone recognized the little wandering Ice Wolf Beastman.
Understanding the situation, they quietly discussed it.
Su Muyao softened at the mention of Ice Wolf Beastman.
Because she thought of Xiao Jihan.
She just hadn’t expected to find Ice Wolf Beastmen here.
Su Muyao’s expression softened as she said, "These fruits are useful to me. I’ll give you two Purification Elixirs."
"Are your parents here? We can help deliver them after we pack up."
Su Muyao knew that with the little guy’s ability, he might not be able to keep the Purification Elixirs.
She wanted to help him.
The little boy’s eyes lit up, not expecting he could really exchange for Purification Elixirs.
He couldn’t believe it; his hopeless and dim eyes suddenly sparkled with life.
He heard Su Muyao’s words and nodded, "My parents live in a cave not far away."
Even though his dad was injured and his mom was manic, wherever they might be, they stayed together as a family.
Su Muyao looked at Yue Wuhen.
With just a look, Yue Wuhen understood her thoughts.
He reached out to tidy her hair, speaking warmly, "I’ll deliver them personally."
He knew his wife was worried someone might intervene and take the Purification Elixirs.
These Purification Elixirs were creating such a scene to lure out those behind the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
But this little boy indeed needed such an elixir, so he would go.
And also inquire about the Wolf Clan’s situation.
Su Muyao’s lashes fluttered; she knew Yue Wuhen understood her, understood what she was thinking.
Mei Qingchen said, "I’ll go. I have Purification Power, maybe I can help."
"You need to stay here."
The people from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion are surely watching them.
Yue Wuhen is the strongest; his presence protects his wife.
Shen Ci’an agreed, "Or I can go, Yue Wuhen needs to stay."
In the end, Mei Qingchen personally took the Purification Elixirs to deliver to the little boy’s parents.
The little boy named Xiao Zhuo was utterly surprised and couldn’t believe the legendary Young Master Mei was personally delivering elixirs to him.
He could hardly believe he actually got Purification Elixirs, not Purification Potion, but Elixirs.
Though he was only nine, from wandering outside, he often heard Beastmen talking, so he understood what he needed to.
As for the fruits he brought, they’re actually cocoa fruits, which can be used to make chocolate, good stuff.
Thinking of Zaizai, with these fruits, she could make more chocolate for them to eat.
...
On the other side, at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
On the seventh floor, a tall Beastman looked through the window at the commotion outside.
Then a sound came from the tower stairs.
Followed by a Beastman stepping forward respectfully, "Eldest Young Master, this is the Purification Elixir we got by exchanging. The Pharmacist examined it just now, and its effect is truly good, far better than Purification Potion."
They had already arranged for people to queue and buy the Purification Elixirs.
No one expected the elixir to be this effective.
"If we can master these Purification Elixirs, our people won’t have to make senseless sacrifices anymore."
"Everyone can preserve their lives better."
