Antidote Serums were usually more expensive than Blood Serums and medicine, especially those that could cure multiple poisons and diseases. Almost every Hunter Group would choose Antidote Serums over magic Equipment. After all, not every Hunter Group had a Healer!
If a normal Sprout Demon was already enough to be the ingredient of an Antidote Serum, a talented Plant Mage could easily turn the Queen Demon Sprout into something that kept producing the Demon Sprouts.
“The coasts have a high demand for these Antidote Serums. You might have to spend a little money to produce your specialized Antidote Serums, if you find a way to nurture the Sprout Demons,” Zhao Manyan said.
“Mm, that’s not a bad idea,” Mu Ningxue nodded.
A mature renowned clan had to have a symbolic asset before expanding into multiple domains. Fanxue Mountain currently had a lot of members. The taxes they were collecting from the residents were nowhere enough to feed everyone, nor were their funds sufficient to help them grow. They had to continue to grow their economy.

The Mailong Private Military Group cautiously retrieved the valuables. They were a little reluctant to leave the resource-abundant Meadow layer.
The real treasures of Tianshan Mountain lay in the higher mountain Alpine reaches and the Valley of Glaciers, since they were pure and unmarred. The mercenaries were looking forward to the higher layers after earning a fortune in the Meadows.
The vegetation at the Alpine level was obviously thinner. There were only more steep cliffs and rocks around. Due to the huge difference in altitude, it felt like they were venturing deeper into the shadow of a cliff when they were in the Rift Valley.
They finally exited the dim valley and arrived at a well-illuminated canyon.
The canyon did not even seem to be inside a ravine. Massive mountain walls stood on both sides. The undulating peaks could almost reach the sky. Some of the peaks even had obvious snow lines. The purity of the white snow reflected the sunlight, highlighting the meandering outlines of the mountains in the distance.
“Did anything happen to Tommy? It’s already been half a day, but he hasn’t reported back,” Kuma said sternly.
“Was he in some kind of trouble?” Xu Luoqing said.
“He would alert us if he was in trouble.”
“Let’s wait for a while.”
The group decided not to advance recklessly, and was scouting the situation ahead. Heaven knew if they would be surrounded by demon creatures under one of the cliffs.
“I can smell blood,” Ai Jiangtu pointed ahead with an alert face.
The wind was blowing from a greater height. The cold breeze was like a whip soaked in cold water. Ai Jiangtu kept staring ahead into the Rift Valley, which differed greatly from the surrounding terrain.
A figure was jumping around by bouncing off the irregular rocks nimbly. It gradually grew in size from a dot to someone recognizable.
“Tommy!” Xu Luoqing yelled.
“He’s injured!” Ai Jiangtu quickly went forward to receive Tommy.
The third team was scouting the path ahead, and Tommy was its leader. He had brought four members with him to survey the complicated terrain, but he was the only one that made it back. He was now covered in blood.
Ai Jiangtu quickly reached Tommy, who was fleeing for his life in a panic. He purposely looked behind Tommy to see what he was being chased by, but he only sensed some unsettling movements in the distance. The thing that was chasing him had disappeared.
