Shamara was in a dangerous situation. After all, the Church of Light is a grand religious group that has been existent for thousands of years, and when they mobilize, it is very difficult for the lone Shamara to gain any advantages.

Shamara’s biggest advantage is contamination. This leads the Church of Light’s magicians to be unwilling to confront her. However, as long as the worry of the magicians was eliminated, or if those who are not magicians were mobilized to blockade her, Shamara’s advantage could no longer come into play.

The Church of Light assembled a Fallen Knight Group, taking in those contaminated magicians and paladins, allowing them to pursue and kill Shamara. They then hired top-tier mercenary groups or wizards while an S-class bounty was placed on the Mercenary Guild.

After the completion of the task of the Earth Hammer, the mission of the Fallen Angel became the easiest S-class bounty to complete in the Mercenary Guild. It attracted the attention of the entire dimension and everyone was gearing up for it.

In the end, Shamara, who was at wit’s end, fled to Dark City and hid in a complicated underground cave. She occasionally ran out to snatch some food but did not kill anyone.

Shamara indeed did not kill much, except for accidental deaths in battles. Usually, she contaminated and left it at that.

Confronting this situation, Negris took the initiative to place food in spots where Shamara looted, along with drinking water, clothes, cooking utensils, daily necessities, and even considerately placed some absorbing cotton cloths.

Theoretically, Shamara being so old would no longer need absorbing cotton cloths. But who knew for certain? With the Fallen Angel, who could say she wouldn’t return to her youth?

As expected, the next day, everything that was placed there remained except the absorbing cotton cloths.

Nobody knew if Shamara had taken a liking to the absorbing cotton cloths, but ever since, she no longer snatched food from Dark City. Instead, she picked up what she needed from fixed locations, never taking more than required. After taking things a number of times, she left behind a black Crystal Stone.

After Negris analysed it, he discovered it was a Holy Crystal akin to the Soul Crystal. They were both condensed energy, but this one was condensed with the Power of Fall.

Negris had no idea what a black Holy Crystal was used for, but Holy Crystals held extreme value. One piece would be enough to trade for several loads of food, which made Negris feel embarrassed.

Sigh, as a believer in the Undead God, after being influenced by Lord Ange, the concept of equal trade had become innate. When he realized that the other party’s goods had surpassed too much in value, he felt uneasy. So, he placed some high-value items among the goods, such as a new product from the Goddess of Beauty City – the Holy Essence Life Silkworm Facial Mask.

“These are holy mushroom powders, do you understand? Even though they have been suffused with the essence, they are still holy mushroom powders, not garbage. Are you really going to throw it away like that?” Sava roared in sorrow and despair when he saw the holy mushroom powders left over after extracting the Holy Essence.

“Then what?” The indifferent Lan replied, spreading her hands.

And so, Sava demonstrated how to turn waste into treasure: “Soak the divine mushroom powder in Holy Water, add gelatin and perfume, mix into a paste and apply it onto the skin.”

After washing off some time later, everyone found that their skin had become as tender and white as a freshly hatched egg. Small pimples and wounds had simply vanished.

Lan was astounded, as she rushed to the Teleportation Array, and teleported back to the Resting Abyss. After spending some time there, she teleported back, lamenting in sorrow: “Oh, Holy Mushroom powders, the mushroom powders I extracted, are all dumped on spot forming a small mound. They’ve all rotted and stink now. What a waste, what a waste. Why didn’t you come earlier?”

With this technique, Sava secured his first place as a pharmaceutical maker.

For convenient use, they soaked the pre-cut cotton clothes directly onto their faces, but they found that the cotton clothes were too thick and not breathable.

In the end, they discovered that silkworm babies that nibbled on World Tree leaves spun the best silk cloth, especially the fire immune ones. Applying these on the skin brought about a cool feeling and almost immediate sensation of skin healing.

Such facial masks could also be used by witches. Not everyone was like Lisa, who was a Divine Soul warrior of Lord Ange and could directly use the Face Purification Technique.

For normal witches using the Face Purification Technique restoration, their skins would continue to dry out and toughen up. This situation couldn’t be resolved by finding Lisa or Ange again. If they could use a facial mask to maintain it, then one round of full-body purifying every three to five years would mean one could stay healthy and lively all along, right?

“How much should we sell these divine mushroom powders and Tree of Life silkworm silk facial masks for? A box of twelve pieces.” Lisa was shaking her ceramic box containing twelve Holy Essence Life Silkworm Facial Masks, deliberately ignoring the key words ‘extracted’ in her words.

“Both divine mushroom powders and the silk from the Tree of Life silkworms are not cheap even when sold separately. We cannot sell these for cheap.” Sava was excited when he spoke.

He didn’t know until he had come to know that Lord Ange had too many good things. No wonder he dared to use the World Tree’s branches to make a Decomposition Rod, his World Trees were not counted by the number of trees but by the number of pieces.

Sava, who was afraid of being poor, wanted to seize any good thing he saw and felt heartbroken at the thought of selling them.

“But it can’t be more expensive than Holy Essence either, otherwise people would just buy Holy Essence.” Even though Anna had a facial mask on her face, she logically stated.

After some discussion, they settled for a price of eight hundred Demon Crystals. Just a little bit of infused holy mushroom powder soaked in water, and a palm-sized silk cloth were to be sold for eight hundred Demon Crystals, the money made was simply too good.

Of course, a box of such facial masks could not equate to the black Holy Crystal, hence Negris sent them along with a full set of lightning immune undergarments.
