Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Did you say 'the evil thunder power'? Is that so? But you won't share it with me that easily, will you?" Zachary squinted his eyes suspiciously at the mysterious woman.

"Well actually, I can share just a little bit of it with you to help in strengthening your body. However, there's one condition..." The mysterious woman's voice trailed off.

"What might that be? I just hope that it's not too difficult. I'm afraid that I might be incapable of satisfying that condition with my current strength," Zachary responded honestly. He knew that there was nothing free in the world. Everything had a price. Therefore, he had to speak out what was on his mind just in case the mysterious woman's demands were too much. After all, he was telling the truth when he said that he couldn't do anything too difficult with his current strength.

"Don't worry. My condition is actually very simple. I just want you to procure some good wine and delicious food for me. The wine, in particular, must be a first-rate one. I haven't tasted fine wine in such a long time." The mysterious woman's answer had caught Zachary off guard.

"Is that all?" He looked thoroughly confused. Zachary immediately thought that he had heard it wrong.

"What? I'm sorry?" Zachary replied as he was caught off guard. He didn't expect that there would be another customer after him. "Well... You see, I'm not..." His voice trailed off when he saw the questioning look upon the warrior's face. But then, he realized that this was another good opportunity for him to strike a bargain. "You can offer any price you like." At first, Zachary wanted to say that he was not the owner of this stall. However, he realized that these fish were more than what he needed. Because of that, he decided to grab this opportunity and began to sell fish.

"Ah, that's how it is. Well, your fish certainly looks fresh. How about I exchange three Imperial Vigor Pills for two of your fish?" the female peasant offered after examining the commodities.

Zachary turned his head a bit. "Mimi, what is the Imperial Vigor Pill?" he asked as he was not aware of this currency yet.

"The Imperial Vigor Pill is one of the rare top-grade pills among all Imperial Level pills. One Imperial Vigor Pill is enough to increase your strength by a grade at the Imperial Level for seven or eight minutes. Aside from that, one can use it in conjunction with another pill of its kind without suffering from any side effects. The Dignified Supernal Sect makes this type of pill using a secret recipe. Hence, it is popular, yet difficult to obtain in the Canopy Kingdom and even the entire Supernal Continent," Mimi explained without sparing any detail.
