“Brother Lorne, you’re amazing!”

“I didn’t expect Brother Lorne to hide so well. You must bring us along when you go to the outer city.”

“…”

After the middle-aged man left, a few students who had become spirit envoys immediately surrounded him and tried to curry favor with him.

As for the other students, regardless of their previous relationship, their identities were different now. The gap between them would only grow larger and larger.

As for Lorne, he was in no mood to listen to their flattery. He left the classroom and returned to the school dormitory.

After returning to the dormitory, Lorne first observed Nita. He found that she was just a little tired and needed to rest, so he did not disturb her. Instead, he spread her on his palm and placed her in a small basket.

Lorne thought of the system reward for today, and with a thought, he opened the system storage.

[ Moon essence: 10, consolidating spirit pill: 10, basic swordsmanship: 1 ]

He took a closer look at the effects.

[ Moon essence: the moon yin energy is pure and can produce essence items. It can increase the user’s physique and mental strength. It’s the elf’s favorite spirit item. ]

[ Consolidating spirit pill: one can increase the spiritual strength of three months of hard work. ]

[ Basic swordsmanship: a strong swordsmanship must have a solid foundation. ]

After reading it, Lorne had a deeper understanding. With a thought, a brown pill appeared in his hand.

“This is a consolidating spirit pill?”

Lorne raised his hand, opened his mouth, and swallowed it. In an instant, Lorne felt as if his entire body was wrapped by a faint aura. It slowly seeped into his limbs and bones, and traveled through his entire body.

Lorne blinked, suddenly brandishing his fist. A series of air-piercing sounds could be heard.

“I feel that my breathing is much smoother, my body is lighter, and even my strength has improved quite a bit!”

Lorne felt the changes in his body and he was pleasantly surprised. As expected of a spiritual medicine that could directly increase his bitter cultivation by three months!

Then, he opened the swordsmanship to learn. This time, he did not materialize anything. Only a flash of light flashed through his mind. Then, this swordsmanship surged into his brain as if he had been enlightened. All kinds of basic techniques and experiences related to swordsmanship had been thoroughly mastered by Lorne. It was as if he had practiced it for decades.

“It’s amazing. With this swordsmanship, the demon that lost control today wouldn’t be my match. Now, I’m only missing a sword.”

Lorne also drank a portion of the remaining moon essence. It did not make much of a difference to his physique. He felt that his spiritual power seemed to have become more solid and his attention had become more focused. After thinking for a moment, Lorne called out.

“Dina, Dina,” Lorne called out a few times.

However, Dina, who was hiding in the shadows, did not react at all.

“How cold.”

Lorne rubbed his nose. Just as he was about to give up, Dina, who was dressed in a black dress, appeared. She looked at Lorne with an indifferent expression. Lorne smiled and did not care. He flipped his hand open and started talking.

“This thing doesn’t seem to be of much use to me. I’ll give it to you.”

In fact, after being upgraded twice by the system and having increased his strength by quite a bit, Lorne had tried the effect of the moon essence just now. It was indeed not of much use to him. However, it was different for elves.

Dina’s delicate nose twitched slightly. She smelled the aura of the moon essence in Lorne’s hand and her eyes moved slightly. Her cold face finally showed a change of expression.

“This is…”

The moon essence was very rare even among elves. It could not be seen or touched, and could only be collected with a special carrier and method. This essence could not only strengthen the elves, but also increase their potential!

With just a sniff, Dina knew that this thing was the real essence of the moon. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Dina felt that she had made the right choice for the first time.

“This is a very rare spiritual object. Are you sure you want to give it to me?”

Lorne smiled and said, “What are you talking about? You’re my companion elf. You can protect me better when you’re stronger. Why shouldn’t I give it to you?”

After saying that, he put the remaining nine moon essence on the table.

“I’ll leave this to you. When Nita wakes up, you can distribute it among yourselves.”

After saying that, he left Nita, who was sound asleep, and Dina, who was stunned, to go out. Right now, he was going out to buy a sharp sword. He had accumulated quite a lot of savings over the years, so he could go out and make a good selection.

After leaving the house.

[ You and Dina have been communicating for ten minutes. Experience +10, connection +1]

[ You have gifted Dina the essence of the moon. Connection +20]

At this moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded. Lorne smiled. How could such daily communication be for nothing?

Lorne had previously understood that there were cases of accompanying elves betraying their masters. Elves were born strong and possessed extremely high intelligence. How could an ordinary person control an elf that was several times stronger than himself?

The higher the bond between the master and the elf, the higher the level of cooperation and strength between the two would be. This was also a complementary phenomenon.

It seemed that the daily communication and interaction could also increase the bond and experience points.

“I have to chat with them more in the future.”

Lorne smiled, left the school, and walked toward the blacksmith shop. After the city had been rebuilt and planned, the city was divided into two areas – the outer city and the inner city.

The outer city was mainly at the edge of the city, and the market was in crisis. There were guards stationed there to defend against the demons, and most of them were spirit envoys.

There were also a few ordinary humans who were responsible for the guards’ food, clothing, and transportation.

As for the inner city, it was a peaceful scene, with all the commerce and the basic structure of the city.

An hour later, Lorne had arrived at Southwest Port. It was a bazaar selling all kinds of goods.

While he was walking in the middle of the street and interspersed with the crowd, a middle-aged man’s pleading voice interrupted Lorne’s reverie.

“Lord spirit envoy, our family has been an honest merchant in this market for more than ten years. Please be magnanimous and let my daughter off.”

Lorne looked over. In a store that sold iron ore, a hunched middle-aged man was kneeling in front of a young man with bloodshot eyes, pleading bitterly.

At this moment, the system sounded.

[ Extraterrestrial meteorite detected. Rare quality.. It’s the best material for weapons! ]
