Three or four hundred?
Li Ping'an was beyond shocked.
Heihei and Dahuanɡ opened their mouths.
They spat out a pile of blood-stained Yao Beast Cores, along with three Pill Furnaces full of Yao Beast blood.
Li Ping'an inspected the Yao Beast Cores, observing the beast feather patterns on them; the lowest were Tier 2 Yao Beasts, and the most powerful even included Tier 5 Six-Feather Yao Beast Cores.
Selling one such Yao Beast Core would fetch at least a thousand Spirit Stones!
However, Tier 5 Six-Feather Yao Beasts were also quite terrifying.
Although they hadn't fully opened their spiritual intelligence like Spirit Beasts, their ferocity and strength were definitely on par with a cultivator at the sixth level of the Profound Realm.
Once they advanced to Tier 6, they could be called Spirit Beasts!
Li Ping'an took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, "It seems I truly underestimated you all."
They had only been out for so long, and already had such a harvest. If he let them do as they pleased, the Yao Beasts would probably hate themselves, wouldn't they?
Looking at the entire Outer Gate Spirit City, the three of them might even have the ability to sweep through everything.
However, it was better to keep a low profile. This place was too close to the Xianyan Sect, and there were truly many masters inside.
Heihei: "It's because you're too cautious, too unconfident."
Li Ping'an tugged at a dog's ear, "This is for safety, for stable development, understand?"
"Niuniu, let's go, time to go home."
Niuniu pulled the large iron plow over, "Boss, I haven't eaten the Spirit Beast meat yet."
Dahuanɡ pressed his ears back, "Is there Spirit Beast meat to eat?"
"No." Li Ping'an shook his head, gently pinching a dog's ear, "However, it's dark now, so you two can do as you please for a bit."
"Understood!" Heihei comprehended.
He transformed into a streak of black light and shot into the distance, with Dahuanɡ following close behind.
Niuniu also wanted to go but was stopped by Li Ping'an, "You're too tired, you need to rest."
Niuniu protested, "Not tired, not at all tired, I have endless strength, I can work until next year, until the year after!"
Li Ping'an persuaded: "Don't get involved in what the lackeys do, isn't it better to just wait and eat the meat?"
"Delicious." Niuniu nodded.
Li Ping'an unloaded the large iron plow, and along with these Yao Beast Cores and Yao Beast blood, he stored them all in the System warehouse, then called Niuniu to the No. 3 Spirit Field.
The Spirit Rice had grown a bit taller, but it looked quite thin.
"Rain come."
Li Ping'an raised his palm, using the Rain Summoning Technique in conjunction with half a Pill Furnace of Yao Beast blood for fertilization.
(Ding: Cultivation Points +50)
(Ding: Cultivation Points +50)
(Ding: Cultivation Points +50)
After fertilizing three mu of land, he then went to the No. 2 and No. 1 plots, as well as the Secret Realm.
After watering everything once, using two furnaces of Yao Beast blood, he gained a total of 450 Cultivation Points, bringing the total to 3000.
As for the four hundred and twenty Yao Beast Cores, none were used.
Although these could be directly consumed by Heihei and the others to improve themselves, it would be a bit wasteful and could have some side effects.
The best method was to exchange them for Spirit Stones.
After all, Yao Beast Cores were ingredients for many Medicinal Pills, and the power within Yao Beast Cores was also needed when refining Magical Artifacts, so their uses were extensive.
Yao Beast Cores below Tier 1 Nine-Feather were exchanged at a 1:1 ratio with Spirit Stones, those below Tier 2 Nine-Feather at 1:2, and those below Tier 3 Nine-Feather at 1:3.
Above Tier 4, there was a jump in value; even the lowest Tier 4 Yao Beast Core could sell for fifty Spirit Stones.
In the distant mountain gully.
Li Ping'an had already cleaned the two Pill Furnaces. There were still many condiments from before, just waiting for the main ingredients to arrive.
Niuniu waited anxiously, "It's been so long, and they're not back yet. They wouldn't be secretly eating, would they?"
Li Ping'an stroked Niuniu's horn, "Calm down. The Xianyan Sect has many masters, so they have to wait for an opportunity, don't they?"
Niuniu looked into the distance, full of impatience.
Finally,
Heihei and Dahuanɡ ran back.
Niuniu stood up, "Quick, tell me, how many did you get?"
Heihei: "Not many, just four."
Li Ping'an's mouth twitched, but he said nothing.
Those Spirit Beasts were very large; one was enough for him to eat for several days.
Dahuanɡ opened his mouth wide and threw out four Spirit Beasts all at once. Each one was twice the size of the previous one.
But, it was nothing.
Anyway, it was quite difficult to go there once.
Plucking feathers, gutting, cleaning, segmenting.
After preparing one Spirit Beast, the two Pill Furnaces were filled.
Niuniu said, "Boss, our stuff is too small. Next time, we need to get a really big one."
Li Ping'an, "How big?"
Niuniu pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "At least big enough to hold ten Spirit Beasts. It's more satisfying to eat."
"..." Li Ping'an rolled his eyes at Niuniu, "Are you trying to eat all their Spirit Beasts?"
"Stop fantasizing. Start the fire, burn the furnace, eat early, sleep early."
Niuniu breathed fire, the temperature was scorching.
Before long, the enticing aroma of stir-fried Spirit Beast meat wafted out.
Li Ping'an took out a basin, filled it, and said, "Niuniu gets one furnace to himself, and the other furnace is for you two."
Heihei: "Why?"
Li Ping'an tugged at a dog's tail, "Don't tell me you two didn't steal any."
Heihei pressed his dog ears back, remaining silent.
Dahuanɡ: "I ate mine raw, it wasn't tasty at all."
"Moo~" Niuniu wagged his little tail, "I knew you two weren't honest."
His body grew several times larger, occupying one Pill Furnace. He lifted the Pill Furnace abruptly and swallowed all the stir-fried Spirit Beast meat in one gulp!
Li Ping'an: "Eating like that, can it have any taste?"
Niuniu: "It's all about the satisfaction, taste comes second."
"Eat quickly, that guy's stomach is too big." Heihei and Dahuanɡ started eating.
They all devoured it ravenously, without savoring the taste.
"Ah~ what an appetite." Li Ping'an shook his head slightly. Compared to them, he needed to chew slowly.
The three little ones all gathered around.
Two pairs of dog eyes, one pair of ox eyes, stared at the basin in Li Ping'an's hand.
Li Ping'an said, "There are still three left, you can eat them raw. There's no need to go to all the trouble of stir-frying."
"Swish~"
The three of them moved in unison.
Each displayed their extraordinary abilities, devouring one in two bites, fur and all...
The next day.
Li Ping'an instructed Dahuanɡ and Niuniu to go clear land by themselves, while he took Heihei to Ling City.
After entering several shops and finding many people, he finally exchanged the Yao Beast Cores he had for Spirit Stones in batches.
What shocked Li Ping'an was that a single Tier 5 Six-Feather Yao Beast Core sold for six thousand Spirit Stones, and only the Hundred Herbs Pavilion in the entire Ling City could afford to buy it.
He didn't know it was so expensive and directly took out three, which shocked the buyer at the Hundred Herbs Pavilion at the time.
However, this was not a good thing.
After selling all the Yao Beast Cores, he obtained a total of 32,000 Spirit Stones. Li Ping'an then wandered around the city, bought many vessels, and then left.
After leaving the city.
Li Ping'an instructed Heihei, "Find a place to hide and see if anyone is following me."
Heihei nodded, first running far away and then hiding.
Li Ping'an, meanwhile, walked towards Jiang Family Village as if nothing had happened.
The journey was calm.
No one was following him, and Heihei did not give any warnings.
Even Niuniu and Dahuanɡ, who were clearing land, whether they were slacking off or doing something else, there was no gain in Cultivation Points.
Jiang Family Village seemed to have a big event.
Many people had gathered there, discussing amongst themselves.
Li Ping'an quickened his pace slightly and saw bodies lying horizontally outside Jiang Family Village.
They were all people from Wang Family Village.
A total of thirty-six corpses, and a strong smell of blood permeated the Void Realm!
Jiang Ming was slowly wiping bloodstains from his black iron sword. These people should all have been killed by him.
And from the discussions of others, Li Ping'an also got confirmation.
This was truly a ruthless person.
Small matters could be ignored, but when he acted, it was always a big deal...
