"bump!"

When the soft sound of the door closing came to Kana's ear, the fear in her heart had reached its peak, because there was no light here.

She didn't even know if she opened her eyes, couldn't feel the flow of air, didn't know how wide this place was, and didn't know what was hidden in the darkness.

"Snapped!"

Just when Kana didn't know what to do, there was a crisp sound in the darkness, and then a warm light ignited in mid-air, and light was born in the darkness.

Kana was stabbed in the eye, and quickly looked at it:

It was a gentleman in a black dress.

An upright, exquisite, about one-person-high candlestick stayed quietly not far behind him, drawing an orange outline for him.

In front of the candlestick stood a small table with a set of white porcelain tea cups on it. There was some liquid in it, and it was steaming hot in the light of the candle. It looked like he was enjoying it just now.

There was a black hardcover book next to the teacup, and Kana couldn't see what name was written on the cover.

He was dressed in luxurious clothes, and sat quietly on a black leather sofa, with his left leg resting on his right. To Kana's surprise and horror, all his skin that should have been exposed to the air was covered with a Laminar flow of black fog buried.

Karna knew that this mysterious gentleman was watching her.

"Miss Karna Wallenda, welcome."

His voice was low, steady, and magnetic.

Kana put her heart back a little, and reluctantly said, "Evening... Good evening, this gentleman."

When she uttered the first word, she was taken aback by her own voice, and the originally clear voice became a little hoarse.

The gentleman stopped talking, and the air became very quiet again.

Kana took a deep breath, stabilized her mind and asked, "Sir, where is this place, please?"

He slightly adjusted the position of his head, the black mist surged, and Kana felt that this was an action made when she cast her eyes on her.

She heard a low, mysterious chuckle, and then answered:

"This is the 'Mysterious Mansion'."

The mysterious mansion... What a straightforward name...

Kana evaluated in her heart and continued to ask:

"How should I call you?"

"You can call me 'Tutor'."

Kana felt that the 'mentor' should have no ill will towards her, at least not now, so she calmed down and asked the most crucial question: "Dear mentor, why did you bring...invite me here?"

Aldridge, who was in the dark fog, also believed that the most critical moment had come. He said lightly: "I like to make deals with people who are stagnant, Kana Wallenda, you need help."

Wandering...Isn't it, I am the one who is wandering, but why does this gentleman know about me? From which channel? do i know him?

A series of questions popped out of her mind, but she threw them into the trash in an instant, and her heart beat faster again - will this gentleman have what I want?

"Yes, sir," she bravely said her request, "I need the cultivation potion formula of the thorn tree demon from rank 0 to rank 1."

Then she looked at him motionlessly, expecting his answer.

"So, what will you pay for an equivalent exchange?"

Kana's eyes suddenly widened, and the corners of her upturned eyes suddenly turned fierce and unsightly. The monster in her heart was roaring, he had it! He has!

Her words became so weak: "Are you really...?"

Aldridge didn't answer, just sat there quietly.

Kana didn't hear the expected answer. The sudden quietness of the air made her awake, and she immediately realized that the question she had just offended the other party!

She explained urgently: "Dear Teacher, I didn't mean to offend you, I just... I just, I can pay enough price! I brought enough jinnar, 900 jinnar!"

Aldridge smiled slightly in his heart, deeply realizing the reason why silence is sharper than words. This silly child threw out her bottom line.

900 jinnar... To be honest, the price is not at all. The condition of the thorn tree demon is similar to that of the Morpheus cat, and 600 jinnar is enough.

But, why is the more the better?

So Aldrich said two words lightly:

"Not enough."

Not enough? How can it not be enough? Kana thought in confusion. She had inquired about it. Generally, a potion of this level only needs 500 jinnars, and her price has doubled!

No, it can't be counted like this. Others can buy it for 500 because they are available in the market, but I can't buy it in the market. My father and brother once lamented that monopoly brings high prices. Is this the reason?

However, she only brought so much. Could it be that she wanted to say, "Please allow me to go back to my father and ask for some more money?"

It is estimated that she will be humanely destroyed by Mr. Mentor!

Or, "I also have a dagger with some gold inlaid on it"?

Ha ha.

She hesitated for a long time, she really had no choice, and finally she mustered up the courage to say: "Dear teacher, I only brought 900 kinnars today..."

Aldridge felt that the heat was almost over, and chuckled, "Help me with a few small things."

Kana was stunned for a moment, she immediately understood the meaning of this sentence, and said in surprise, "Okay! Okay! Say it!"

"When the time comes, you will know."

Kana nodded stupidly.

Aldrich looked at her expression, the corners of his mouth under the dark mist finally evoked a smile, and he was done.

…

Kana didn't know how she left the "Mysterious Mansion". Her last memory was that she kept repeating the formula in her mind, and when she remembered it again, she had returned to the place where she started - the Heroic Spirit Monument.

After having an experience, she has no reaction to the incomprehensible appearance here, although she still can't help thinking.

The cold wind blew bleakly, and she couldn't help trembling, but the clear formula in her mind made her whole body extremely hot!

finally! finally!

At this time, she could no longer see the carriage on the street. She wrapped her clothes tightly, identified the direction and prepared to go home. She was so excited.

Who is that teacher, Mr.

What shocked Kana was that not only did he have the formula for the thorn tree demon, he also had formulas for 3 different cultivation paths!

When Mr. Tutor asked her to choose, she was speechless as if her throat was blocked. If it wasn't for the fear of his impatience, Kana could have hesitated for a whole day.

What a mysterious person...

Mysterious mansion, equivalent transaction, what happened this night may be the most bizarre thing she has experienced since she became an Beyonder?

I just don't know if Mr. Mentor will do other transactions besides trading potion formulas... That's stupid, I should have asked just now!

Forget it... Even if you ask, you can't afford it.

Thinking of the 90 golden notes taken away by the black snake, Kana felt her heart breaking - that was almost half of her property since she can remember!

She didn't dare to speak ill of Mr. Mentor, so she could only vent her anger at the black snake:

"90 banknotes are so thick, if you hold them in your little mouth, you can die!"
