"Benefits" Wu Xing Xiao was a little puzzled.
"The flesh of such a妖獸 is the essence of heaven and earth. Eating it can increase your inner energy, even if not by much, but still quite good." The Carefree One said.
"What Then give me a piece too!" After hearing this, ZHU QUE Thunder immediately spoke up; she wanted one as well.
"Sorry, who are you" Instead of giving it to ZHU QUE Thunder, the Carefree One ate a piece himself. Though there was still another cooked piece left over, he planned on eating that too. He hadn’t originally prepared this for ZHU QUE Thunder anyway.
Giving some to Wu Xing Xiao was merely out of convenience; regardless, the Heart Moon Fox would have taken it away if she had not cut it up.
"Hey kid, don't be arrogant. Giving me a piece won’t kill you." ZHU QUE Thunder said with ill grace.
"It won’t kill you, but there’s no benefit! For someone like yourself from the noble ZHU QUE family, this is just as good as one medicinal pill, and it’s something you wouldn’t care about at all," the Carefree One said with a smile.
ZHU QUE Thunder looked at the Carefree One. She wasn’t familiar enough with him to be able to snatch his little servant’s food in front of Wu Xing Xiao; this was especially unlikely.
Moreover, the Carefree One had also said that this piece was worth only one medicinal pill, and ZHU QUE Thunder despised a mere medicinal pill!
She felt irritated, irritated by how he still had so much raw fish meat left to be cooked, yet wouldn’t give her even such a small piece. Was it because she wasn’t attractive enough
No, this little servant was just being stingy!!
The Carefree One indeed held a large piece of uncooked fish in his hand, but it was prepared for Solitary Star and the others. Such good food, he would always reserve a portion for them; unless there wasn’t enough to go around. Even if it was just a small or big piece, he naturally reserved enough for Solitary Star and the others, even setting aside some for Wang Yanyu.
That’s right, cutting something over anyway, it was merely out of courtesy. They had already imparted so much knowledge on martial techniques and cultivation methods; this little bit wasn’t worth anything at all, no matter how many there were!
If Solitary Star and the others couldn’t eat fresh food, he would make a cold dish with some ingredients to ensure that they could eat it within days.
At the same time, if the Carefree One had said this was just one medicinal pill’s worth of value, why go through so much trouble to bring it over specially for them
The reason was very simple. Although a medicinal pill could replace this fish meat, it wasn’t an ordinary medicinal pill; at least it would be a high-grade medicinal pill. Besides the effects of a medicinal pill, there were other benefits as well.
These benefits might not increase one’s inner energy cultivation levels, but they could improve certain physical attributes in humans. These妖獸 were all nurtured from the essence of heaven and earth; they inherently possessed some miraculous effects, and since this demon newt had reached the Saint realm, its value and efficacy was even higher.
This point was made clear by the Heart Moon Fox’s personal appearance!
If possible, the Carefree One would like to take more things and obtain greater benefits. But that wasn’t possible because the Heart Moon Fox had already given him a decent reward; this demon newt had been killed by her in any case, while she was certain about its location. The Carefree One’s contribution was minimal, and whether he participated or not didn’t really matter.
Therefore, what the Heart Moon Fox gave him already counted as quite generous. Moreover, the Heart Moon Fox promised to give him several medicinal pills afterward; this promise wouldn’t be broken by her in any case.
This meant that there were still benefits for the Carefree One ahead, so he was definitely not losing out!!
And the Carefree One understood this point as well; even if the Heart Moon Fox didn’t give him anything, he wouldn’t have complained because it wasn’t his to begin with!
The Carefree One never forced himself on things that weren’t rightfully his and would not begrudge others for obtaining them. But this doesn’t mean he didn’t want them; if necessary, he could ask for help from someone else like what just happened earlier; he wouldn’t mind asking, as long as the other person allowed it.
Of course, in extreme situations, the Carefree One would employ extraordinary measures!!
In terms of current circumstances, if ZHU QUE Thunder missed this opportunity, she might never have another chance to eat demon newt meat for her entire lifetime. Similar妖獸 might be available, but their effects could differ, making this loss rather regrettable for her, though not entirely important.
It was unknown whether ZHU QUE Thunder understood the significance of this opportunity or if it was just a sudden urge from smelling its fragrance that made her stomach rumble. She suddenly said: "Hey kid, what do you say to this I can pay for this cooked fish or give you something in exchange, as long as I find it acceptable."
"First of all, you need to understand that what I'm doing isn't robbery or cheating. This thing has its value! I don’t want to go into specifics because I’m afraid you’ll use it against me. It definitely has this value, and you'll eventually realize the reason behind it." Xianyao said. He didn’t seem to fully explain himself, making people think he was just lying.
"Alright, let’s say that this thing does have some value. I can't come up with so much money though, even if I were the richest member of Zhuque Family, it's impossible for me to have such an amount of money, not to mention I'm not! Think of another condition." Zhuque Lei endured and started negotiating with Xianyao.
"Alright then, let’s switch conditions. How about you show me the books that your Zhuque Family has in storage" Xianyao asked with a smile.
"Show us our stored books Just say what book you want!" Zhuque Lei frowned; she didn't want to make things complicated for herself.
"No, I just like reading. I’m not trying to be difficult on your end. I only need access to the books that you can retrieve with your permissions." Xianyao said with a smile. He didn’t want Zhuque Lei to have a hard time; it wouldn't benefit him.
"Fine, what do you want to see" Zhuque Lei asked.
"Do you have a catalog of books in your family's storage Show me and I’ll give you the list of books that I need." Xianyao continued smiling while looking at Zhuque Lei. Her beautiful delicate face was deep in thought.
“Sure!” Zhuque Lei nodded, unaware at this moment that what Xianyao needed differed entirely from what she thought he would need; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed so readily.
"Here you go!" Xianyao handed the monster newt meat to Zhuque Lei. Without a word, she started eating it and praising its taste.
“It’s very good, really delicious!”
Xianyao ignored Zhuque Lei as he sat down in meditation to digest the purification effect of the monster newt meat; this would refine quite a bit of inner energy, but he didn’t plan on telling Zhuque Lei about it because he believed she would figure out herself just like Xuanwu Lingxiao.
After eating the meat, Xuanwu Lingxiao was quiet from the beginning as she felt a surge of heaven and earth primordial energy within her. She understood what she needed to do: refine these energies.
While the three were refining their energies, people began gathering nearby since there had been quite a commotion earlier. Although this matter would ultimately be suppressed, many people would still hear about it.
The first ones to gather were naturally those who were originally by the lake and then others who came running after hearing about the situation. These individuals clearly recognized Xuanwu Lingxiao and Zhuque Lei, so they naturally provided protection for them without being asked.
In reality, even if these people didn’t protect them, there wouldn’t be any problems since it didn't take much time to refine everything inside that needed refining. For someone at Xuanwu Lingxiao's level, this would all be refined very quickly.
“Hmm, this meat is worth it. My inner energy has advanced a lot; it’s an incredible feeling, not just simply increasing my inner energy.” Zhuque Lei exclaimed in wonderment. At that moment, she realized that her decision was incredibly correct given the insignificant cost.
"Is this the benefit of monster beast meat Why didn't I have such a feeling before"
“It might be due to the difference between these beasts; there are many wondrous species among monsters.” Xuanwu Lingxiao said, as she knew more about monster beasts than Zhuque Lei.
"It's not just about monster beasts; everything in this world has some miraculous abilities. The simplest example is medicinal materials for pills; you can consider the monster newt as a herb and it will make things easier." Xianyao then answered Zhuque Lei’s confusion.
However, Zhuque Lei was even more puzzled now. This time her confusion wasn’t about the monster newt meat but rather about Xianyao himself.
"Why can you finish so quickly I struggled a bit during my refinement process. Based on your strength level, it should take at least twice as long." Zhuque Lei asked with surprise and bewilderment.
Indeed, why could Xianyao complete the refinement so quickly when we all took such a long time Is there something similar for him too Beside her, Xuanwu Lingxiao was also puzzled about this.
Earlier during the refining process, Xianyao clearly revealed his level, which was King Rank. This came as somewhat of a surprise to them all but it didn’t mean they were on par with him; there was a great difference between them.
How could this be
"I’m different from you two. My refining abilities are stronger than yours." Xianyao replied.
"What do you mean Are you saying your cultivation technique is better than ours" Zhuque Lei raised her eyebrows, challenging him to prove it if he dared claim that.
“That’s not exactly the case. I can just say some aspects of my abilities are stronger; each skill has its unique characteristics, which should be basic knowledge for you.” Xianyao looked at Zhuque Lei as if to say ‘why didn't you study harder when you were younger’.
“…” Zhuque Lei fell silent. She hadn’t expected herself to get lectured by this small servant boy, Xianyao.
"What cultivation technique are you using" Xuanwu Lingxiao asked while looking down on Zhuque Lei, which made her clench her teeth in anger inside.e!" Lone Star said coldly."We can," came a voice, and Lone Star recognized it as South Palace Su Xin's.Lone Star frowned, turning around to ask without even looking back: "Miss South Palace, are you g...
