Lu Yu's eyes lit up, the flavor of the red, blue, and green berries was quite good, without the tartness of real strawberries, a light sweetness lingered on the tip of his tongue, without feeling overpowering.
He ate a few more, and Shopkeeper Wu, seeing Lu Yu's actions, showed a smile, though there was a hint of pain, as these red, blue, and green berries were the best kind, not cheap in price.
Although the red, blue, and green berries contain Spiritual Qi, they are not yet considered Spirit Fruits. If people who haven't started cultivating often eat them, it will help with future training. Martial Cultivators at the Body Refinent stage also often eat them to speed up Qi Blood growth.
Lu Yu asked Shopkeeper Wu about the price of the red, blue, and green berries.
Shopkeeper Wu answered honestly, "Ordinary red, blue, and green berries that don't contain Spiritual Qi cost 1 Silver Coin each, those with better appearance can sell for up to 10 Silver Coins each, but those are sent to big cities to be sold."
"Red, blue, and green berries containing Spiritual Qi cost 10 Gold Coins each, slightly better ones cost 20 to 30 Gold Coins each, and the best ones cost 50 Gold Coins each."
Lu Yu glanced at the plate of red, blue, and green berries, there were still 5 left on the plate, he had eaten 5 just now, Shopkeeper Wu was indeed generous, not even knowing him yet spending 500 Gold to host him.
Checking his spoils, he found the least valuable was a second-grade Divine Soldier, a dagger, probably used by its owner to cut at.
Placing the Divine Soldier on the table, he said to Shopkeeper Wu, "Take this, and help get a bag of the best red, blue, and green berries. You can keep any leftover money."
A dagger of second-grade Divine Soldier would be worth around 5000 to 8000 Gold, the gap between quality Divine Soldiers and inferior ones is quite significant.
As an outer steward of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Shopkeeper Wu indeed had an eye for this, instantly recognizing this as a second-grade Divine Soldier, and the pain in his heart vanished completely. If handled well, he could at least earn 1 to 2 thousand Gold.
This wasn't rchandise from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, it was Shopkeeper Wu's personal stock, the profit would be his, and Shopkeeper Wu was full of motivation.
He patted his chest in assurance, excitedly saying, "Sir, leave this matter to , I assure you will be satisfied."
Holding the dagger, Shopkeeper Wu left the third floor to buy red, blue, and green berries for Lu Yu.
Lu Yu wanted to buy so red, blue, and green berries because he felt it wouldn't be appropriate to et Fifth Sister empty-handed, as she was the one who sheltered him during tough tis. Bringing a gift would be better.
Luckily, the red, blue, and green berries tasted good, though offering them to Fifth Sister as a gift might seem a bit ager. However, Lu Yu thought if he gifted sothing too valuable, Fifth Sister might not accept it, so he decided to give her so food instead.
Lu Yu grabbed a red, blue, and green berry and tossed it into his mouth, then looked out the window and suddenly froze. He leaned closer to the window and carefully observed the person passing below.
If he wasn't mistaken, the person walking below was Huang Lao San from Iron Tomb, the one who gifted Lu Yu 100,000 Gold and ten Lightning Exploders.
Lu Yu's lips curved into a smile; he didn't expect to run into Huang Lao San here.
Previously, Iron Tomb had sent people to attack him in the ga, and later tried to assassinate him in the real world. Lu Yu hadn't avenged these deeds yet, and seeing Huang Lao San here, he could settle both old and new grudges.
As for Spike Head and Ponytail Man, Lu Yu didn't know they were from Iron Tomb. The key is that they never claid to be from Iron Tomb in front of Lu Yu, nor did they reveal the tattoo on their arms.
Thus, the assassination attempts Lu Yu was aware of were just one in the ga and one in the real world.
In actuality, he was targeted for assassination three tis: twice in the ga, and once in reality.
Because no news ca back to Iron Tomb's headquarters about the real-world assassination attempt, they were unsure if the two sent were alive or dead.
So Iron Tomb believed there might be a master behind Lu Yu and had decided to abandon any action against him, withdrawing those who were ant to deal with Lu Yu in Beifeng City, as well as giving up on any real-world plans against Lu Yu.
But Lu Yu knew none of this.
Even if he knew Iron Tomb had given up on targeting him, he wouldn't give up on revenge.
Though the assassination attempts caused him no substantial harm, this didn't stop Lu Yu from considering Iron Tomb a threat, seeking to retaliate, crush Iron Tomb, and destroy Iron Tomb.
Only when Iron Tomb is completely gone would Lu Yu feel safe.
