The moon shone bright and the stars were sparse tonight, carrying a hint of chill, with the occasional strange call of birds echoing from afar.
Walking on the road, Chen Li’s boiling blood gradually cald down.
Murder!
Murder!
Murder!
Ever since he had been transported to this world, it seed like he had always been killing.
Most of the ti, it had been in forced self-defense.
But this ti, it was to take the initiative to demonstrate his power, to remove hidden dangers in advance.
Over a dozen lives, snuffed out as easily as slaughtering chickens.
"Sigh, in this dog-eat-dog world, if you don’t eat others, you’ll be eaten," Chen Li sighed, "Why is it so hard to just live peacefully and earn so money to provide for the family!"
He andered all the way ho.
He soon sneaked back ho with light footsteps.
Chen Li changed his clothes and struck himself with a Cleaning Talisman, then carried the bundle into his quiet room to carefully tally this ti’s gains.
A total of 16 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, and over 300 Low-grade Spirit Stones, mostly from Zhang Lin, the leader of the Spirit Fox Gang.
Just this alone amounted to 19 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
In addition,
there were a total of fourteen Magic Artifacts.
One high-grade artifact, five mid-grade artifacts, and eight low-grade artifacts.
The stock of Magic Artifacts that Chen Li had nearly sold out was greatly replenished.
Apart from that, there were also three Golden Light Talismans that Chen Li valued the most.
As for other various Talismans, such as Amulets, the value was too small for him to count one by one.
"It seems a gang leader is just like this, the Loose Cultivators of Green River District are really poor..." Chen Li felt sowhat disappointed in his heart. Except for the few Golden Light Talismans that gave him a slight surprise, the rest could only be exchanged for so money, with no real treasures among them.
It made sense.
Before the sect wars, these people were just ordinary Qi Cultivators in the late stage, like Qiao Guanyuan. Due to fortuitous encounters plus ambition, they had gradually erged, with no real heritage to speak of.
...
When dawn was breaking, Chen Li, as if nothing had happened, once again shouldered a large bag of at and hurried to the market.
Yu Fan Zhen and several clan mbers had been waiting for a long ti.
"Yu Fan Zhen has seen Fellow Daoist!"
"Fellow Daoist Yu, you’ve co quite early," Fellow Daoist Chen glanced at her and said carelessly, "Don’t worry, there’s plenty of at this ti; you won’t make a wasted trip!"
Facing the notorious brute of the market, who might even have killed a Second Order Demon Beast, Yu Fan Zhen couldn’t muster her authority and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist jests!"
"Am I joking?" Chen Li glared at her.
"Ah, no, no, I misunderstood Fellow Daoist," Yu Fan Zhen hurriedly said, secretly thinking how difficult it was to serve this man.
"Haha, just kidding with you," Chen Li laughed heartily.
Yu Fan Zhen’s heart skipped a beat, then she forced a couple of dry laughs.
Chen Li ignored her, put down the large cloth bag, and then untied the ropes of the bag, spread out a relatively clean, tattered cloth on the ground, and dumped all the at out, forming a small mountain of flesh.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is truly a peerless hero; it must have been dangerous to kill a Second Order Demon Beast this ti, right?" Yu Fan Zhen crouched beside him, complinting with a smile, yet her eyes stealthily examined the at seller’s awkward and fierce face, not missing any detail.
The killing of a Second Order Demon Beast had stirred even the old patriarch of her family.
After days of investigation with no results, they only knew that this Demon Beast, suspected to be a Second Order snake demon, had caused havoc in the residential area days ago, and then its corpse had been flamboyantly sold by the at seller in the market.
The body of a Second Order Demon Beast, no matter how valuable, was of little concern to the Yu Family.
The Yu Family had long passed the bloody pioneering stage and had transitioned to a focus on consolidation. The inco from just the monthly pill shops and Talisman stores was worth several Second Order Demon Beasts, enough not to covet others.
But who had killed it and how?
The Yu Family was very concerned.
It pertained to the safety of their clan!
"Coming to snoop for information again!" Chen Li gave her a half-smile and said, "You think I can’t see it? You’re still too green!"
Yu Fan Zhen, whose face wasn’t thick enough, turned red with Chen Li’s blunt remark, feeling extrely embarrassed.
"Blatantly telling you that the Demon Beast was slain by ," Chen Li didn’t look at her, waved his Magic Sword vigorously to chop the at, and casually said, "Those not afraid of death can co at ."
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you’ve misunderstood. The family patriarch specially instructed us to befriend you outdoors," Yu Fan Zhen said nervously, trying to explain.
Whether true or not,
it set Chen Li sowhat at ease.
"That’s good. Of course, I have great respect for your family patriarch," he said as he quickly finished cutting the at and portioned out a pile, "I estimate there’s about 1,100 pounds of at here; the extra hundred pounds represent my respect for your family patriarch."
"Fan Zhen will definitely convey this to the patriarch," Yu Fan Zhen said solemnly with a salute.
The extra hundred pounds weren’t worth much, maybe just half a Mid-grade Spirit Stone.
But it signified goodwill and attitude.
Watching Yu Fan Zhen and the others walk away, Chen Li reluctantly shifted his gaze.
"Having a storage bag really is convenient,"
he exclaid with envy as over a thousand pounds of at were packed into a palm-sized embroidered bag.
It was as though stuffing an entire realm into a mustard seed.
If he had such an item, there would be no need to carry at back and forth laboriously every day.
He wondered how much that sort of thing would cost?
Probably astonishingly expensive!
At least no Loose Cultivator in Green River District he knew had ever possessed one, and perhaps even ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivators rarely had one in hand.
"This woman isn’t even afraid of being robbed,"
...
anwhile, as Chen Li continued selling at,
the matter with the Spirit Fox Gang was beginning to fernt.
In a single night, soone had destroyed the lair of the Spirit Fox Gang, and even the leader had been found dead in his bed, stark-naked—a truly shocking turn of events.
The only survivor, the gang leader’s wife, had initially been hesitant to speak up.
