Weapon seller in the world of magic

Mark nodded, "The same bastard who sent men here in my absence and killed Song Yue's father." His words showed clear hatred for the enemy he intends to destroy.

"What do you mean? Why?" Lin Xue grew confused. She couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at her best friend, "What sort of enmity does he have with you? And why haven't you done anything so far? You have this powerful general behind you."

This time, Song Yue answered instead of Mark, "He believed that he could not take back Western Yan as long as we supported it. You know Western Yan has a large unexplored ether deposit in its mountains. He probably wants to abduct me and use me to distract Lu Zhen's attention while taking it by force.

My father, who was guarding me in the disguise of Black Knight for months, sacrificed his life to protect me in his absence. I… If not for me… sigh…" Song Yue couldn't continue anymore and became silent, knowing that her fiancé would scold her if she blamed herself.

Mark continued by answering the second part of Lin Xue's question, "Killing him is a piece of cake for me. But, I don't want instability in Phoenix Empire. So, I sent someone to sever his arm, which in return probably made Shang Zexi gather the support to rise against the throne. So, in a way, I'm indeed responsible for the death of your parents.

I'm really sorry but the chain of reactions that I started is no longer under my control." He paused for a moment and took a good look at the girl's expression.

Naturally, he couldn't read her face. Hence, his eyes wandered to other places to read her body language.

As her body shivered for a couple of seconds before becoming calm very quickly, Mark, "What can I do right now is help you raise your cultivation level, removing the side effects of the technique you were cultivating, and giving you the opportunity to take the revenge with your own hands. The rest is up to you to decide."

After several seconds of silence, Lin Xue opened her mouth, "Just help me to make a breakthrough to seven-circle as fast as possible. That's all I need."

"Hmm…" Mark made it look like he was thinking this time. But, when he opened his mouth, it threw everyone into shock, "I will ask Fu Sheng to take you in as his disciple. And when you reach the peak stage of the legendary realm, I will turn you into a Supreme Being with a permanent augmentation pill."

"Huh?" Lin Xue stared at him. She clearly doesn't believe him.

Song Yue reacted by blurting out, "but, that pill can be sold for 500 million gold coins."

"Eh?" Lin Xue couldn't help but turn her head to look at her friend.

It was then a burst of divine energy erupted from Sylvandria's palms and turned the table into dust, startling the others. "I thought you have only one?" There was a clear shock displayed on her face.

Mark then took out a bunch of various advanced-grade stat pills from inventory and showed them in his palm, "I have many of them actually."

Lin Xue: "…"

Song Yue: "…"

"Wah, so much power is hiding in them." Jingwei jumped in excitement, "Papa is the best."

"Just who in the hell are you?" Sylvandria's eyes widened.

Stat pills are originally created by the system to increase Mark's specific stat. however, the bodies of regular cultivators work differently.

Just after consuming such stat pill, they would absorb huge amounts of natural energy from the surroundings and refine it automatically into ether energy, thereby, increasing their cultivation.

However, the pill's full effect can only be enjoyed by someone with a compatible sprit path.

For example, a spirit warrior of the fighter path cannot increase his cultivation level by ingesting an intelligence stat pill.

For the strength pill, the compatible spirit path is a Melee-based path that uses physical strength or tools to take out their enemies in close combat. Those with incompatible paths only have their bone density get a slight increase.

For the intelligence pill, the compatible spirit path is Mage, Summoner, Archer, and their respective advanced paths that use ether energy/natural energy to unleash spells. The spirit warriors with incompatible paths only have their minds getting sharper.

For the Defense pill, the only compatible spirit path is Fighter, for some reason. As for incompatible paths, their skin becomes tougher.

For the Agility pill, the compatible spirit path is Assassin and its advanced paths. The incompatible paths only have their peak speed increased.

As for Vitality and Resistance pills, they work for every spirit path, but unfortunately, they don't increase cultivation levels. The vitality pill only increases one's lifespan and the Resistance pill only increases one's immunity against buffs and curses.

Since Mark never intended to sell them before, he doesn't care about them before. After witnessing how people could spend money more than the entire Shang Dynasty's wealth on the items he possessed, he decided to use them to his advantage.

However, Lin Xue is Song Yue's best friend and Allen's love interest. He intended to support her to the end. As for her marriage with Shang Wei, there's no way he would let it happen, atleast until Allen returns.

Lin Xue was aware that what Mark asking her was next to impossible. For her own life, she learned that entering the 7-circle realm itself is something only incredibly talented can do. They get respect everywhere in the world.

But, Mark was asking her to reach the peak stage of the legendary realm to take that pill and become a supreme being.

Lin Xue was skeptical about whether Mark really intended to give that treasure to her. Still, she readily stood up on her feet and cupped her fists with a bow, expressing her thanks as becoming a disciple of a demigod is something she can only achieve in a dream.

On the other hand, Sylvandria couldn't avert her gaze from the stat pills in Mark's hand. She couldn't help but think of the method taught by the zheng, to reach the demigod realm and rewrite her own fate.

As for Song Yue, she wasn't a fighter anyways and didn't hold any greed for power. She was merely shocked by the fact that Mark intended to gift such a thing to Lin Xue. For a guy who loves money very much and always looks for profits even while fulfilling revenge, his generosity obviously made her feel like something was amiss.
