Chapter Ten: The Fruit of the Violet Spirit

  "Hey, aren't you a few big shots from the Merciless Wolf Mercenaries? You're indeed very intimidating. What's going on? Are you thinking of demolishing my store or something?"

  Just as the fight was about to break out, the shopkeeper Baroque walked out of the back room, informed by the store's service staff. Seeing the situation in front of him, he naturally knew what had happened and a hint of cold smile appeared on his face.

  Ji Wan's face changed in an instant, his eyes filled with resentment glaring fiercely at Hua Yun who was standing beside him without a hint of fear, gritting his teeth and saying: "I dare not!"

  In the town of Codo, there are two people that the Crazy Wolf Mercenaries dare not be too rude to. One is the mayor of Codo Town and the other is Pastor Harry. And then there are two more people, in front of whom the Crazy Wolf Mercenaries don't even dare fart, namely the president of the Codo Town Mercenary Guild and the shopkeeper Balok of the Plant Store.

  One is his direct superior, and the other... humph, who dares to offend someone from the Plantain Shop? In the Allen Continent, even a Saint-level expert might not have that kind of audacity.

  "Gentlemen, if you are here for business, I naturally welcome you. However, if you are here to cause trouble, don't blame me for not making it clear to you beforehand!"

  Baroque swept a glance at the crowd inside who had put away their weapons, his face cold and stern.

  "Hehe, Baroque shopkeeper, of course we're here to buy the Divine Fruits. How dare we be presumptuous in front of you!" The few people from the Crazy Wolf Mercenary Group weren't fools either, and naturally knew what to do!

  "That's the best way to do business!" Baroque's face relaxed, and then he lifted the red cloth on a jade plate in his hand.

  On the jade plate, several fruits of varying sizes and shapes were neatly arranged, emitting a faint red glow, which was quite lovely.

  For a moment, everyone's gaze in the entire store was drawn to the divine fruit on the jade plate.

  It was indeed worthy of being a divine fruit, and as the fire magic power emanating from the fruit on the jade plate in front of him was palpable, everyone's face showed different expressions, while Baroque smiled all over his face, sizing up the people in front of him. Every time this happened, a strong sense of pleasure would arise in his heart.

  His gaze swept across the crowd, and after seeing Hua Yun among them, Baroque's expression couldn't help but pause for a moment. What made him feel strange was not only Hua Yun's special black hair and pupils, but also the weird look on his face.

  That expression is just like... shock, and also that... that... unbelievable, right, unexpected!

  Is there something unexpected about seeing the Divine Fruit? Baroque couldn't help but feel a little strange, he who liked to appreciate the expressions of his customers had never seen anyone reveal such an expression when they saw the Divine Fruit.

  "This is what they call the Fruit of God?"

  Looking at the several fruits on the jade plate in front of her, Huayun felt a bit dizzy. Excluding the two kinds of fruit she had never seen before on Earth, the other two fruits Huayun could identify at a glance were grapes and tomatoes!

  It can't be wrong, it's just grapes and tomatoes. As a genius botanist, Hua Yun wouldn't even mistake grapes and tomatoes for each other. Who would have thought that the legendary divine fruit was actually the common grapes and tomatoes found everywhere on Earth?

  Good grief, is this world too crazy, or am I just too crazy?

  After carefully observing the several divine fruits on the jade plate for half a day, Catherine pointed to a grape-like fruit that emitted a faint red glow and asked: "Baroque shopkeeper, what is this divine fruit called?"

  Among all the divine fruits on the jade plate, the red mangosteen on this divine fruit is the most dazzling.

  "Ah!" Baroque's thoughts returned to reality from his puzzlement about Hua Yun, looking at the fruit Catherine was pointing at and laughing: "Hehe, you really have a good eye for this. This is actually a third-tier superior-grade Bronze Purple Spirit Fruit. The Purple Spirit Fruit is a type of growth-type divine gift plant, its highest yield can be a seventh-tier superior-grade Golden Divine Gift Fruit."

  "It's actually a high-quality divine fruit, no wonder I felt a pure fire-elemental power from it!" Catherine nodded in agreement after listening to Baroque's explanation.

  On the Allen continent, first to third-tier Divine Fruits are bronze-level fruits, fourth to sixth-tier Divine Fruits are silver-level fruits, seventh to eighth-tier Divine Fruits are gold-level fruits, ninth-tier Divine Fruits are holy-level fruits, and tenth-tier fruits are called divine-level fruits.

  Fruits of the same rank are also divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The higher the grade, the more precious the fruit is. Sometimes, a top-grade divine fruit is even more precious than a lower-grade divine fruit of the previous rank.

  Although two divine fruits of the same level and species look identical at first glance, the difference in their grades has a significant impact on the cultivation of human law.

  Catherine glanced at the crowd behind her, then turned back to Baroque and nodded: "So how much for this Purple Spirit Fruit?"

  Baroque's face cracked a faint smile, his large right hand extending a single finger towards Catherine.

  "One thousand gold coins? That's expensive!" The crowd naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to think that this one finger was worth a hundred gold coins. On the continent of Ailen, even second-class divine fruits were more valuable than this price.

  After seeing Baroque's price, Catherine couldn't help but frown, and the people around her also felt that 1,000 gold coins were a bit expensive.

  Hua Yun, on the other hand, was even more shocked. Although he also knew that divine fruits were generally expensive, he didn't expect such a small grape-like thing to cost 1,000 gold coins. To think that a fourth-tier magic core only costs over a hundred gold coins, this 'grape' is really too exaggerated!

  "Hehe, I think it's actually not that expensive." Baroque explained: "You also know that the status of a magician is very valuable, so the magical fruit is much more expensive than the martial arts fruit. Moreover, this purple spirit fruit has excellent attribute inheritance ability, can withstand multiple types of energy attributes, including fire, water, earth, wood, life, and wind systems, even dark system energy. So it can perfectly fuse with the fire system energy in your body. More importantly, this is a top-grade purple spirit fruit."

  He pointed to another "grape" beside him and said, "This is a mid-grade Three-tiered Purple Spirit Fruit. If you want it, I'll sell it to you for 500 gold coins."

  "Of course, if you still think it's expensive, then buy this one!" Baroque pointed to a fist-sized red fruit next to him and said: "This is a third-class lower-grade Fire Festival Fruit, I'll sell it to you for 230 gold coins!"

  "Alas, how pitiful! Can't even afford a Divine Fruit, and yet you claim to be a magician? You might as well go back and find a man to support your child. Tsk tsk, or maybe just buy that inferior Flame Festival Fruit instead. I think it's quite suitable for someone like you, after all, you're only worthy of using inferior things! Hahaha!"

  Seeing this situation in front of them, several people from the Mercenary Group of Mad Wolves burst out laughing loudly, with faces full of ridicule.

  "Get your crap out of here!" Irritable Linda couldn't help but burst into profanity.

  "Kaiwan, you guys are going too far!" Roen, as the team captain, had excellent endurance, but at this moment, he couldn't help it either.
