"Can we really do that?" Xia Yue asked, surprised.

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I ask for links other dimensions? Of course it’s to facilitate cooperation between different realms," the system replied.

"Oh man, I have to say, the pork here is way tastier than what they have on Blue Star. It’s just that the seasoning is a bit off," Xia Yue said, taking another bite of her barbecued meat.

"All you ever do is eat. Hurry up and find the Child of Luck to complete the mission," the system grumbled.

"What’s the rush if we haven’t encountered them yet? Let’s take our time and enjoy some good food," Xia Yue said, shrugging.

They strolled down the street, with Xia Yue and Zhang Meng pausing to explore any unfamiliar sights. The men in their group simply followed behind, paying the bills along the way.

"The Child of Luck has been found. Host, please contact them and hand over the invitation," the system alerted Xia Yue as they stood in front of a store selling elixirs.

"Host, the mission target has appeared," the system quickly reminded Xia Yue.

"Where? Who?" Xia Yue scanned her surroundings, her face visibly confused.

"Brother, what kind of herb are you holding? It looks really weird." Xia Yue heard Shen Xichen run over to a man who seemed to have been kicked out of the elixir shop, looking curiously at the bamboo-like stick in his hands.

The man looked humble in simple clothes, his hair scattered about and his patched-up cloth shoes indicating a lack of wealth.

However, his face held an unmistakable defiance, showing no resentment despite being kicked out of the store, only scorn in his eyes.

Upon hearing Shen Xichen’s question, he turned around to look at the curious young man, taking him in from head to toe before introducing himself, "I’m called Ku Zhu. Using this for refining a level 5 elixir can increase the success rate, interested in buying?"

"Is it really that powerful?" Shen Xichen exclaimed, amazed by the dried stick in the man’s hand.

"Of course it is. I was kicked out because this shopkeeper doesn’t understand its value and called me a scam artist," the man confidently confirmed.

"And how much is this?" Shen Xichen inquired. His mother was a top-level 4 alchemist but could never successfully refine a level 5 elixir. However, with this ingredient, there might be a chance.

"One hundred thousand ink stones," the man lightly stated.

"One hundred thousand?!" Shen Xichen widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Right, this is a rare spiritual medicine. One hundred thousand is already a bargain," the man nodded, convinced that his price was very reasonable.

"Could you wait for a bit? I need to ask my brother," Shen Xichen hesitated and said to the man.

"Sure," the man replied, looking at Su Bai and the others behind Shen Xichen, taking them in head to foot.

Shen Xichen turned around and walked back to Su Bai.

"Brother Su, can you check if the spiritual medicine in his hands is real? If it is, can you lend me some money? I only have eighty thousand ink stones left which is not enough," Shen Xichen asked Su Bai, slightly abashed.

"Why do you want to buy this spiritual medicine?" Su Bai asked, confused.

"My mother has always been trying to refine a level 5 elixir to no avail. So, I thought of buying this for her to try," Shen Xichen explained.

"But the thing in his hand...it doesn’t look like spiritual medicine," Su Bai frowned, eyeing the dried stick in the man’s hand.
