Chapter 127: Super Evolution of the Death Avatar
At the sound of the fat man's voice, a few sturdy men came over carrying two boxes.
They placed the boxes in front of the Death Avatar and opened them on the spot.
One box was filled with pure blue crystals the size of an arm, while the other contained metal that glimmered with a silver light.
The Death Avatar glanced at Gu Xi and then slapped the ground.
Three dragon blood crystals and seven dragon steel pieces flew up.
The Death Avatar absorbed these ten materials, and blue patterns appeared on its bones.
Although these patterns flashed only briefly, Gu Xi could clearly sense that the Death Avatar's bones were no longer as black as before; instead, they had a metallic sheen.
If sunlight hit the Death Avatar from different angles, a blue light could be seen coating its surface.
[Name: Death Avatar (Summoned Creature)

Talent: Rule Creature
Status: Life (960/960), Mana (450/450)
Attributes: Strength 12.4, Agility 9.6, Constitution 9.6, Intelligence 16, Perception 10.4, Charisma 10.2

Looking at the new attributes of the Death Avatar, Gu Xi couldn't help but marvel at how it had grown again.
Besides the increase in attributes, the three new skills were already powerful enough.
The Dissolving Ray was obtained by devouring the eye of the Cyclops Patchwork Corpse, and now the Death Avatar used it like a machine gun with ten uses a day.
The Dragon Steel was the metal coating on the Death Avatar's body surface. When part of the Death Avatar's body became metallic, Gu Xi had thought it would only harden the body.
After devouring the dragon steel, the effect fully activated, enhancing magic resistance.
Now, any magic below level 2 couldn't harm the Death Avatar. If combined with a Mirror Counterattack, all spells might bounce back.
Gu Xi wasn't sure about the Crystal Powder Storm but believed it was related to the storm of black mist when the Death Avatar flew, likely activated by the integration of dragon blood crystals.
Looking at the new attributes of the Death Avatar, Gu Xi turned to the fat man.
"How many dragon blood crystals are needed for Bone Dragons and Ghost Dragons? Help me match the remaining ones. By the way, I have a purple-quality Headless Knight Training Manual. Do you want it?"
"Bone Dragons need one dragon steel, Ghost Dragons need one dragon blood crystal and two dragon steels."
The fat man was quite familiar with this and quickly listed the materials needed for Bone and Ghost Dragons.
Most players here were only level 5, far from reaching Bone Dragons.
They might buy one dragon steel or one dragon blood crystal and two dragon steels as a keepsake.
If they ever surpassed level 5, they'd start preparing for Bone Dragons.
Buying like Gu Xi was like a supermarket sweep, something the onlookers and even the fat man hadn't seen much of.
However, the fat man reacted quickly, dividing the remaining materials.
"Your purple equipment is worth seventeen dragon blood crystals. According to the exchange rate of two dragon blood crystals to three dragon steels, you took three dragon blood crystals and seven dragon steels, so I'll count that as seven dragon blood crystals. You still owe me one dragon steel.
Exchanging the rest by ratio, four dragon blood crystals and nine dragon steels; if you take by ratio, that's four dragon blood crystals and eight dragon steels, with one extra returned to me."
The fat man's calculation was quite convoluted. Gu Xi, hearing the back-and-forth, felt his brain boiling.
"Alright, stop calculating. Just tell me, is this the exact amount?"
"Yes."
The fat man nodded firmly, looking like a math genius.
Gu Xi didn't want to say anything to him.
It was like a primary school kid's finger-counting method, something older kids wouldn't use, yet he was proud of it.
After collecting the corresponding amount of dragon blood crystals and dragon steels, Gu Xi asked, "Do you want the purple Headless Knight Training Manual?"
"No, you should sell that at your guild. You can't sell it here. Most people in this world lack growth potential. Giving them something for level 10 is a waste."
Hearing the fat man's words, Gu Xi understood.
He then pointed to the Death Avatar, "Do you have anything he can use? Bring it out, and I'll see. I have some equipment too.
As long as we can make a deal, anything can be exchanged."
While speaking, Gu Xi took out some items he had collected.
Items like the Dragon Tear Bracer, many unidentified potions, and a Skeleton Warhorse; anything Gu Xi found useless to himself, he placed in front of the Death Avatar.
Seeing the variety of items in front of the Death Avatar, some onlookers got excited.
"So many items! Look, that's a Skeleton Warhorse, green +1! Train it, and I can pass my Death Knight driving test."
"That's a strength-boosting bracer. My strength is just a bit short; this is good stuff."
"Hey, these potions look interesting. Should I gamble on them?"
While they discussed, a thin necromancer cautiously approached.
"How much for all these potions?"
"Green-quality materials or items, just satisfy him. I'm not particular about it."
Gu Xi smiled.
"That's not too expensive. I'll take all the potions. I have no money, but this, how about it?"
The necromancer pulled a dirt-covered slab from his robe, engraved like a tombstone.
But Gu Xi felt differently seeing it.
"Is this a construction blueprint?"
"Yes, a medium plot construction blueprint. It must be near a graveyard or cemetery, called a Graveyard Herbal Garden, using graveyard energy to grow herbs like grave moss and blood sage.
I know medium plots aren't worth much, but it's all I have. Everything else I traded for herbs, help me out."
"Deal!"
