SFS Chapter 31 Demon Hunter Hall Sells Demons
Chapter 31 Demon Hunter Hall Sells Demons
Jealousy, resentment, envy... a mix of emotions mingled in the discussions. Many disciples were eager to take his place, and some impatient ones were already plotting how to challenge Luo Qing.
Just then, a young man dressed in black walked in from outside with light steps.
His brows furrowed with a hint of bewilderment at entering an unfamiliar environment, clearly indicating that he was not familiar with the layout of the Demon Hunting Hall.
After looking around and seeing that no one came forward to greet him, the young man in black walked over to the cultivator surnamed Li who had just made his boastful remarks, cupped his hands, and asked:
"Excuse me, senior brother, where should I go to sell the corpses of demonic beasts?"
"Those elderly people are in charge of the counters, don't bother me!"
Li Wanxing waved his hand impatiently, about to continue the conversation with his friend beside him, when he saw the other person stare wide-eyed, as if he had seen a ghost.
No, if he saw a ghost, this guy would only get excited, since those are spirit stones delivered right to his doorstep.
Out of curiosity, Li Wanxing immediately turned his head to look in the direction of his gaze and immediately recognized the young man in black from before.
"That Luo Qing! Instead of hiding away in the Black Bamboo Courtyard to cultivate, he's come to the Demon Hunting Hall!"
The image-recording bead containing Luo Qing's likeness had already spread through the discussions of the people these past few days.
Therefore, as soon as Luo Qing passed through the crowd, the disciples of the Earthly Fiend Peak around him stopped their discussions and began to stare at him.
"Fourth level of Qi Refining, perfected. That's fast cultivation. But with this level of cultivation built up with pills, you think you can hunt demons?"
"Perhaps it was a monster corpse bought from someone else using pills."
"That's right, if they were really going to hunt demons, why would they go alone!"
...
After a sudden silence, hushed whispers began again.
Soon, as the surrounding discussions grew louder, these people became increasingly unscrupulous.
Luo Qing gradually realized that these people were talking about him, but he remained calm, because his strength spoke for itself.
Arriving at a counter on the west side of the Demon Hunting Hall, Luo Qing randomly picked an idle white-haired manager. Just as he was about to ask about the procedure, he heard the manager say:
"Newcomer? Bring your disciple token to register, and then bring out the monster corpse for verification."
However, if they are just low-level demonic beasts, there's no need to go to this trouble.
The Demon Hunting Hall only buys mid-level level demon beasts, and the white-haired manager couldn't help but remind Luo Qing, whose cultivation level was not yet at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
Luo Qing nodded simply, then took off the token from his waist and placed it on the counter in front of him.
The white-haired steward took it, scanned it with his divine sense, and then took out a jade slip, which he placed on his forehead.
"Alright, take it out."
The white-haired steward calmly put down the jade slip.
Luo Qing immediately reached out and patted his waist. Instantly, a series of dark shadows flew out of his storage bag and landed on the open ground in front of the counter with a "bang, bang, bang".
The white-haired steward looked up and carefully examined the corpses of the demonic beasts, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he remained calm and said:
"A mid-tier level one Black-striped Wolf. Its head is broken, but its fur is intact. Are you selling its demon blood as well?"
"Demon souls for sale, but demon blood is not."
Luo Qing replied calmly.
The demon blood is a resource he uses to cultivate the Iron Cauldron Golden Body Technique, and he will not sell it, neither today nor in the future.
At the same time, the discussions in the lobby completely quieted down.
All eyes were fixed on the pile of wolf carcasses, and the mockery and jealousy on their faces were instantly replaced by shock.
Black-striped wolves are ferocious by nature and extremely fast. Even a team of three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators would struggle to hunt them for quite some time.
Luo Qing was only at the early stage of Qi Refining, and he was alone...
"one two three!"
Some people couldn't help but count in a low voice, their voices trembling more and more as they counted.
"There were three! Three complete black-striped wolf carcasses!"
Hunting down three mid-level demonic beasts is already the minimum standard for a late-stage Qi Refining disciple.
However, even disciples at the late stage of Qi Refining rarely manage to produce multiple mid-level demon beast corpses at once.
You should know that monsters also seek advantage and avoid harm. Not only does it take a lot of effort to find them, but they will also run away if they sense that things are not going well.
Li Wanxing's face was ashen. His boastful words still echoed in the hall, but now, looking at the three demon corpses, he felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face in public.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say that Luo Qing hadn't hunted these monsters himself, but he couldn't find any evidence. He could only clench his fists tightly and stare at Luo Qing with a sinister look in his eyes.
"Three black-striped wolves with skin, purchased for 8 spirit stones each, plus 3 merit points. Do you have any objections?"
The white-haired manager quoted the purchase price.
Although it was lower than Luo Qing had expected, it was still acceptable.
"no."
Luo Qing had also learned about that Yin Gong from ancient books.
This item is another form of currency on Extreme Yin Island, similar to contribution points, which can be exchanged for some rare items.
For example, the Qi Refining Pill requires both Yin Merit and Spirit Stones to purchase.
The reason these three black-striped wolves could be exchanged for three Yin skills was because Luo Qing acted swiftly, smashing their heads with a single punch without damaging their fur.
Otherwise, you won't get a single merit.
The same principle applies to hunting other demonic beasts; one must preserve the most valuable parts of them to the greatest extent possible in order to gain Yin Merit.
"I've never had such a good thing as getting 3 Yin Merit Points at once!"
Even if you were given the opportunity, do you have the ability to seize it?
"This Junior Brother Luo seems to be quite extraordinary!"
...
In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. Luo Qingcai had only revealed a small part of his abilities, yet it had already caused a shift in the atmosphere within the hall.
"I've already noted it down for you. Take your disciple token over there to collect spirit stones, which you can then exchange for whatever you're looking for."
The white-haired steward then sent another divine thought into the jade slip in his hand and instructed Luo Qing.
"Thank you for the advice, senior brother, but I still have some monster corpses to sell."
Luo Qing ignored their reactions, nodded slightly, and then spoke.
Before he finished speaking, he activated the storage bag again.
This time, there were more flying shadows, and they were also larger.
The four demonic beasts were covered in dark blue-black armor, and the huge bear heads still had traces of blood that had not yet dried. Their eyes, which were not closed even in death, were full of ferocity, making the temperature in the entire hall seem to drop a few degrees.
"Hmm? This is a rock-armored bear! Where is its gallbladder?"
The white-haired manager could no longer remain calm. He walked out from behind the counter, went to the body, and carefully examined it.
"Although the Rock Armor Bear is also a mid-level demonic beast, it is one of the top ones. It has thick skin and amazing defense. You were able to hunt down four of them in one go. You are really good."
However, the greatest value of this bear lies in its bile. If the battle drags on for too long, the bile inside the demon will shrink, greatly reducing its value!
Junior Brother Luo should have noticed this, right?
Despite asking this question, the white-haired steward didn't have high hopes. After all, Luo Qing's cultivation level was what it was, and it was his first time hunting demons, so it was normal for him to make some oversights.
The other disciples in the main hall also looked at Luo Qing, anxiously awaiting his answer.
