Chapter 186: Chapter 185: Entrapment

The silent and fog-laden forest.

Suddenly, the angry roars of demon beasts pierced the air, accompanied by the sound of claws tearing through space, followed by more painful wails and the crisp sound of bones breaking.

A full ten minutes of uproar.

Countless birds and demon beasts were startled into flight, and the once peaceful forest was now filled with a murderous aura due to the angry, painful howls of the demon beasts, tainting everything around with a chilling tension.

After a long time.

The angry roar of the demon beast gradually weakened, until it became almost inaudible.

Once everything quieted down...

In the forest, a thick scent of blood lingered in the air.

Xu Lingjun held a sharp blade in his hand, and clumsily disemboweled the Luminous Lion Tiger, separating its flesh from its body.

This was something Xu Qian had taught him.

In fact, even the prices offered by official buyers for the flesh were solely for the pure blood and flesh that had been separated, while the prices for the organs varied greatly depending on their specific part, with the heart being priced much higher than regular meat, for instance.

Therefore, it was an unwritten rule.

Martial Artists, in order to save space—piling up blood and flesh together versus a whole demon beast carcass naturally differs in volume—and to simplify pricing, generally finished processing the demon beasts they killed, keeping only the more expensive blood and flesh...

And then they sell them.

This way, they won’t be shortchanged.

According to Xu Qian, it’s not impossible to directly bring the whole carcass to sell, and they certainly won’t cheat you on its weight, but the price for those critical parts will be treated the same as regular meat.

So in an invisible way, you’ve been shortchanged again.

A moment later.

Several hundred catties of flesh had already been carved out. For most people, they would probably select the most expensive parts to take with them... After all, even if the density was high, several hundred catties of meat attracted demon beasts’ attention and invited peers’ covetous eyes.

So it was best to carry the crucial parts.

Especially as it’s still winter... carefully hide the remaining flesh.

Until next time when you come, carry away the rest. Although the price might be discounted due to it no longer being fresh, it’s more prudent.

But for Xu Lingjun, it wasn’t so troublesome.

He just stuffed it all into a capsule.

This storage space... it’s unbelievably convenient.

Unfortunately, this capsule isn’t like the Vibranium Armor, which can be carried by Sister Yaya close to her body using one of my teeth so as to employ the Vibranium Armor.

But this tiny, extremely shiny capsule can’t exactly have some of my bodily fluids smeared on it, left to dry, and then given to Sister Yaya to carry closely, can it?

Even if I did that, it wouldn’t last long. A little rubbing and it would come off...

Plus, it’s prone to accidents.

However, I remember hearing her mention in casual conversation last time that Zaku has been developed to the third generation · revision · further revision · never to be modified · absolutely no further edition.

We can imagine that Mecha will soon be on the production line, and her next research project is the Transformation Capsule.

Evidently, Sister Yaya has also recognized the enormous commercial potential of the Transformation Capsule. If this can be developed and patented, one can imagine just how wealthy she could become.

Isn’t Bulma’s Family wealthy because of this business, becoming global tycoons?

At that time, I even suggested to her, saying if she really planned on developing this, she should at least have Father Wang listed on it... Even if he does absolutely nothing.

I can only hope she really can delve into researching the Transformation Capsule, otherwise, I won’t be able to provide her any conveniences.

After butchering the Luminous Lion Tiger.

Xu Lingjun shifted his gaze to the Lark’s body... Though called a bird, its body was actually enormous, with vibrant feathers that were mostly intact except for the neck area, which the Luminous Lion Tiger chewed into a bloody mess.

Xu Lingjun carefully plucked those vibrant feathers, first placing them in a bag, then into the Transformation Capsule, to avoid getting them stained with demon beast blood.

He would then send them to Father Wang to have him make Sister Yaya a Cloud Fur Coat.

Women, after all, can’t resist fur, just like they can’t resist small animals like Land Rovers or Jaguars.

After sorting everything out.

Three to four hours had passed...

In just three to four hours, he had already amassed resources enough for normal students to exit the Secret Realm.

Xu Lingjun felt that the Secret Realm was truly his blessed land, otherwise why would every visit bring new surprises?

The first time he came, a demon beast’s corpse fell right on his head, not taking it wasn’t an option.

The second time, he went actively seeking and stumbled upon a Luminous Lion Tiger capturing a Lark, which was equally valuable... A solo combat, double surprises; it felt like opening nested dolls.

Not to mention, just these Lark feathers alone could easily fetch two hundred academic credits when sold.

Isn’t that the penalty for a student’s death...?

Compared to beauty, what’s that?

After finishing up and tidying everything.

Xu Lingjun reached up to his earpiece and said, "Xiaoya, scan for any biological traces nearby, and once you find something, relay their information to me..."

"Understood."

Xiaoya’s crisp, sweet voice responded: "Master, head east; signs of Han Ling Grass growth can be detected there. Han Ling Grass is the main ingredient for refining Spirit Enhancement Liquid, and its current market price is 2 credits per plant."

"Only 2 credits? Forget it, that’s a bit low..."

"Han Ling Grass is a cluster plant; once their trail is found, there will be at least fifty plants to start with."

"Let’s go then, lead the way."

Xu Lingjun picked up around a hundred pounds of flesh and carried it on his back, posing as someone with abundant gains. If someone saw his haul and got greedy, wouldn’t that be free food for me?

Xu Lingjun had no desire to plunder others, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t adapt.

Of course, he didn’t have a clue how to bait and trap.

Equipped with the entire Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion data stored in its database, Xiaoya was practically the perfect partner for navigating the Secret Realm, as the tablet encompassed all the knowledge and experiences painstakingly accumulated over generations of students.

Inside, there is knowledge on the lifestyles of various demon beasts in Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, as well as the growth habits of various Spirit Grass and unusual species.

Gu Xi once told Xu Lingjun that if there were any Martial Tao queries you couldn’t get answers to from me... you might as well check the tablet, highlighting its rich knowledge.

Under Xiaoya’s guidance...

Xu Lingjun almost never left empty-handed.

No matter which direction he went, he made gains.

Han Ling Grass, Yunyun Mushroom Liquid, Linglong Fruit—valuable ingredients for refining medicinal materials and even elixirs.

As well as those demon beasts whose power wasn’t overly formidable but whose flesh was extraordinarily expensive...

He was either on his way to collect treasures or heading towards the ensuring of said gains.

Given Xu Lingjun’s current strength, within the Miwu Ghost Forest, he could practically sweep through everything. The Luminous Lion Tiger was almost one of the strongest demon beasts there.

Yet it took him only ten-odd minutes to successfully bring it down.

For ordinary disciples, a dangerous place to hone their combat will and experience, for him it was merely a farming ground for academic credits and Source Value—and one he could solo.

In just a single day’s time.

Xu Lingjun roughly calculated that he likely gained nearly four to five hundred academic credits.

Mentioning it out loud would leave anyone unable to close their mouths in awe.

And right then...

Xiaoya suddenly spoke: "Master, detected battle signs roughly a thousand meters to your right..."

She paused and explained in detail: "These are battle signs left by humans."

Humans...

Xu Lingjun turned his attention: if it’s a fight, it has to involve humans...

To gain Source Value now, one has to fight with people...

And now, Xu Lingjun’s eyes seemed to see vast amounts of Source Value coming his way, fluttering towards him...

Just like tiny wings.

"Alright," Xu Lingjun said, tilting his head to press the earpiece lightly. "Lead the way."

"Understood."

Xu Lingjun employed the Lightweight Step to its utmost, moving towards the direction described by Xiaoya.
