Undead Mage from a Cell

After delivering the items to Yalidov City, Gu Xi did not linger long in the black market.

His time was limited; he had a lot to handle in just three days.

The issue of the Fire of Life was among them, and Gu Xi had an idea. He wanted to inquire about the standard for entering school in the real world to see if he still had a chance to attend school.

These two matters were quite important.

Both related to Gu Xi’s future prospects.

If not handled properly, even obtaining more corpses would be useless for Gu Xi.

After leaving the black market, Gu Xi checked the time and then headed northwest of Qianfang City.

The Sword Washing Pool of Qianfang City was located in this position.

This is the largest bathhouse in Qianfang City.

There is a Longsword inserted in the source of the water flow, and the spring water flows past this Longsword every day, each drop carrying a trace of Sword Qi invisible to regular people.

According to the promotional words of the Sword Washing Pool, the Longsword was left here by the first City Lord of Qianfang City, who stopped here to rest and put down his weapon.

When he put down the Longsword, he happened to see the nearby beautiful scenery, and he brought his city out of the game to establish Qianfang City here.

Of course, because this story happened so many years ago, no one knows if it’s true.

The only thing that can likely be confirmed is that the Longsword inserted in the pool is an Orange Armor that no one dares to touch.

Bathing in the water of the Sword Washing Pool can reduce the negative effects brought by Purple Armor.

And the water from the Sword Washing Pool has already been made into an art by the service personnel here.

As soon as Gu Xi walked into the area of the Sword Washing Pool, a man who looked around twenty years old came up to him.

”A male guest, sir, do you need any adjustments?

Is the negative effect of your Purple Armor too strong?

We have a negative cleansing package here that can remove all negative effects and ensure that you won’t have any negative effects for the next fifteen days.

There’s also a bone-cleansing package that can extract some impurities from your bone marrow.

After washing once, a person will feel three pounds lighter.”

”I’ve had too much Fire of Life, it’s a bit inflamed, and the negative effects of Purple Armor... help me clean that up too. I’m wearing quite a bit of Purple Armor, and sometimes I don’t have time to deal with the negative effects.

It always feels a bit uncomfortable.”

”Inflamed, sounds like you’re an experienced hand. Rest assured, we have all sorts of inflammation-removing services here. Let me see your hand.”

Gu Xi was a bit puzzled; he extended his hand.

The man pressed on Gu Xi’s wrist, ”Sir, what’s going on with you, why is the fire within you so strong?”

”I drank a cup of Fire of Life, leveled up once, and the fire hasn’t been digested yet.”

”The Fire of Life, huh, haven’t heard much about it, but from what you said, I more or less understand the situation.

Don’t worry; this is easily solved. Break the fire down with the help of the Sword Washing Pool’s water, then have someone massage you to disperse the fire and incorporate it into your body.

This way, your body will become quite strong. If you have learned the Fitness Skill, the effect of absorbing the Fire of Life will be faster.”

”I have mastered the Fitness Skill.”

Gu Xi said calmly.

”Oh, I really couldn’t tell that a skinny Undead Mage like you would also learn the Fitness Skill, but it’s good to have learned it. A healthy body makes it more fun to play, doesn’t it? Come with me to the second floor, and I’ll make arrangements for you.”

”A male guest to the second floor! For fire removal, through the meridians and bones!”

Having said that, he guided Gu Xi upwards, leading him to the second floor.

Being a proper person, Gu Xi had never been to such a place. Moreover, this time he truly came to remove excess Fire of Life, so he didn’t have any other reactions and followed openly.

While walking to the second floor, Gu Xi noticed players who looked strange rushing to the second floor.

The guide explained to Gu Xi, ”They are regulars here. After finishing a game, they always come here to wash off the accumulated negative effects.”

”Aren’t negative effects released once used, and they generate daily?”

Hearing Gu Xi’s question, the man laughed heartily.

”Sir, your Purple Armor must not have been conditioned.

Most Purple Armor releases a negative effect after one usage, for life.

However, we are players with brains.

There are many ways available in the market to reduce negative effects.

Whether it be ointments or enchantments, many methods can handle negative effects.

The cheapest way can change the negative effect from being lifelong to being counted on a per-use basis.

Negative effects occur only after usage, otherwise, they won’t erupt.

This way, most people can manage until the game ends; then soak here, and the negative effects disappear.”

With the man’s explanation, Gu Xi couldn’t help asking, ”Is that so? Are enchantment formulas available for sale; can individuals do this themselves?”

This could be a good business opportunity.

In Bailian City, the negative effects of Purple Armor depend entirely on luck.

If unlucky, wearing a Purple Armor could easily end up losing oneself after a few uses.

Not to mention, in the Purple Armor Gu Xi owns, there are many effects aimed directly at killing the wearer.

If he mastered such formulas, he could significantly reduce the negative effects of Purple Armor.

Then, Gu Xi would be revered in Bailian City.

Nonetheless, Gu Xi was obviously overthinking this aspect.

This kind of business isn’t something just anyone can learn.

The man shook his head, ”I’m afraid not. Even among enchanters, they never share their formulas.

At most, they just lower the prices a bit.

Also, they often use ointments, turning them into consumables, so they can earn more money.”

Listening to this, Gu Xi felt somewhat helpless.

Such is the reality, it’s others’ livelihood skills, even if Gu Xi wanted to snatch it, he wouldn’t know where to start.

Fortunately, the way to the second floor wasn’t long. The man led Gu Xi around a corner and entered a room filled with water.

As he stepped into the room, letting the pool water soak his feet, Gu Xi felt a chill streaming to his head.

Then, the pool water in the room quickly formed a bed, with various nozzles appearing around the water bed.

”Sir, here it is. Wait a moment and drink some water. I’m arranging someone to come over right now. By the way, what would you like to drink? We have Strong Bull, Qi Replenishing Soup, and Dragon Slaying Tea; they’re all famous.”

Gu Xi hadn’t heard of any of these, but after a moment’s thought, he said, ”Then give me a cup of Dragon Slaying Tea.”
