Magic Item Shop

  With the map Anthony gave him, Xiaoming only then discovered that some things were completely different from what he had imagined.

  Anthony's residence was by the lake of Quanshui, behind the mountains of Cangyan Academy. Xia Mingyuan had originally thought that this so-called Cangyan Academy was just an ordinary small school, but he didn't expect that Cangyan Academy would be even more famous than he imagined.

  Cangyan Academy is the first of the four academies on the mainland, with a history of inheritance for thousands of years. In the past few thousand years, it has given birth to countless legendary figures like shooting stars, and even Orlando, known as the God of Magic, was once a student of Cangyan Academy.

  The scope of the Azure Flame Academy is very large, located on an island in the Abyssal Sea at the center of the Canaan continent. This island is also named Azure Island due to its relationship with the Azure Flame Academy.

  Of course, the Flame Island is not entirely the territory of the Flame Academy. On the contrary, the Flame Academy only occupies a small part of the Flame Island. The Flame Island is more like a prosperous city-state, a special city-state independent of any country on the mainland, and a dazzling pearl worthy of the continent of Canaan.

  At noon, the warm sunlight shines brightly but not fiercely, illuminating the ground of the main street with a dazzling light. The bustling crowd showcases the prosperity of Cangyan Island. Everywhere, one can see warriors and adventurers carrying weapons on their backs, and occasionally, if lucky, even catch a glimpse of mysterious mages wearing cloaks.

  Xia Ming decided to go to the magic item shop in the city first, as a magician, it was impossible without a weapon and a robe. The robe and staff were essential for every magician, they could enhance the magician's affinity with the elements, gain powerful magical amplification when casting spells, and were crucial for magicians. Even Anthony, such a powerful magician, had spent a lot of money on the "Star Sea Staff", which showed how important magic equipment was.

  Anthony carefully marked out the areas of Qingyan Island as well, so Xiaoming was able to easily find the approximate location of the magic item shop.

  The location of the magic shop was probably the most bustling place on the island of Cangyan, with streets packed with people, the noise and commotion opened Xiaoming's eyes wide, many merchants were calling out to sell their wares, making one feel restless.

  "Top-quality secondary magic crystal, just one hundred gold coins, first come first served!"

  "Bleeding sale! Full set of magic gems for 1,000 gold coins. Don't miss out if you're passing by!"

  "Selling weapons! The long sword once used by the Storm Saint Marcus!" - Such hawkers were everywhere, Xia Ming couldn't help but secretly smile. He had no intention of buying anything from these stalls, most of the goods on them were inferior products. The truly good magical items were all in the shops.

  After strolling around the street, Xiaoming finally settled on a magic shop called "Purple Horizon". The reason for choosing this store was simple: Anthony had made a note on the map that Purple Horizon was one of the most famous magic shops in the continent of Canaan, with branches in almost every town. For hundreds of years, it had been operating a magical goods business and enjoyed a very high reputation.

  As soon as Xia Ming walked into this purple-colored inn, he immediately felt its uniqueness.

  The ancient decoration, looks low-key and luxurious. In the spacious and bright hall, all kinds of magical tools are placed, with more than 100 pieces, making Xiaoming's eyes dazzled.

  The surrounding magical elements fluctuated violently, causing Xia Ming to nod secretly. It seemed that many things here were high-level magic tools, dazzling and impressive, no wonder it was one of the largest magic shops on the continent.

  Soon, a girl in a pretty uniform came over to greet him. The girl was very delicate and smiled at Xiaoming: "Respected sir, may I ask what you would like to buy?"

  Xia Ming smiled: "I need a robe suitable for me, and also a staff."

  When Xiaoming said that, the smile on the face of the girl at the counter became even sweeter and her expression more respectful: "Okay, respected magician sir." Any magician on the mainland has a high status, and as a counter girl, she naturally wouldn't dare to offend him.

  "What do you think of this cheongsam?" Soon, the salesgirl recommended a cheongsam to Xiaoming.

  Xia Ming's eyes lit up, and the girl at the counter was holding a silver robe with intricate magic patterns embroidered on it, emitting a silvery glow like stars. The magic patterns were exquisite and delicate, obviously containing high-level enchantment spells.

  Xia Ming was satisfied in his heart but didn't show it: "How much is this Taoist robe?"

  "Two thousand gold coins." The counter girl smiled professionally, but was somewhat uncertain in her heart - after all, this starry robe was a high-quality product even in the Purple Shore, and she didn't know if this young magician could afford such an expensive robe.

  20,000 gold coins! The price was indeed a bit beyond Xiaoming's expectations, but it wasn't unbearable. Before leaving, Anthony gave Xiaoming a crystal card worth 100,000 gold coins, apparently for situations like this.

  "That's it." Xiaoming didn't think much about it.

  "Alright, esteemed magician sir." The counter girl suppressed the surprise in her heart and respectfully put away the starry robe. In her mind, she was guessing Xiaoming's identity: such a generous young magician who threw out a thousand gold coins so casually, could he be the heir of some famous magical family? But searching through the shadows of young and talented magicians in her mind, none of them seemed to match the young magician in front of her.

  With the law robe, next is the magic wand.

  This time Xiaoming didn't let the salesgirl recommend anything, but instead carefully examined the wands in the store.

  These wands in the store are basically a kind of magic element amplifier wand, such as fire system magic, water system magic and so on. More than two kinds are relatively rare, and more than three kinds are almost non-existent.

  Of course, the pros and cons of a staff are not determined by how much magic is amplified, but Xiaoming has always followed Anthony to learn magic, and as an old magician's magical knowledge will not be limited to one system. In addition, some rare magic in "The Book of Eternity" makes the learned magic extremely complex, so Xiaoming's requirements for staff magic amplification are also more beneficial.

  "How much gold coins is this staff worth?"

  Xia Ming pointed to a crystal staff in the middle of the store, which was made entirely of crystal and had magic crystals of earth, water, and fire elements at its tip. The magic crystals were all of high grade, and the staff emitted an aura of three-element magic. Xia Ming immediately felt the surrounding earth, water, and fire elemental magic increase significantly.

  "Respected magician, sir, this magic wand is called 【Earth Flame Wand】, it was forged by the master craftsman on Cangyan Island with a year of hard work, and the price is three thousand gold coins." The girl behind the counter put on a sweet smile again, looking at Xiaoming with expectation.

  Xia Ming nodded indifferently and thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll take this staff too." Although he wasn't particularly satisfied with the [Earth Flame Staff]'s mere three-system magic amplification, it seemed like there wasn't a more suitable staff than this one. Xia Ming made up his mind that when he had the chance, he would definitely find a staff that perfectly suited him.

  It took half of Xiaoming's current assets to buy just one set of mage robes and a staff, Xiaoming couldn't help but sigh that being a magician was indeed an expensive profession. No wonder the old magician had once told him that every magician was made with money.

  The cashier girl was called over to settle the bill. Under her fearful and admiring gaze, Xiaoming left this magic shop.

  Wearing the starry robe and holding the earth flame staff, Xiaoming had a feeling of replacing guns with cannons. The purpose of this trip has been half completed, and the next urgent task is to go through training and get familiar with this world.

  Through the street with endless quarrels, Xia Ming's next target was the Adventurer's Guild.

  Although he became a third-level magician in just one month, Xia Ming had no actual combat experience, which was fatal for any magician.

  Undoubtedly, the Adventurer's Guild was a paradise for Xia Ming.
