Chapter 19: Master of Strength!
Chapter 19: Master of Strength!
In this way, everything makes sense. It clarifies the source of his cultivation, lays the foundation for future smuggling between the two realms, and also gains the support of the Federation.
Moreover, what he said was nine parts true and one part false, and there was absolutely no flaw in it. In addition, there was spiritual evidence to corroborate it, so there was no reason for the immortal mansion not to believe him.
As long as I can perform a world-traveling act in front of the experts in the Immortal Abode, they won't be able to find any trace of it, and they'll have no choice but to believe me.
As he refined the details of this explanation in his mind, Xujia Village was soon in sight.
"Greetings, Master Li."
"Master of Strength, you've caught your prey again."
"·····"
As Chu Xuan approached Xu Family Village, the villagers greeted him. Xu Family Village had only 600 households and 1,500 people. Including Chu Xuan, there were only nine Grandmasters of the Innate Realm.
Chu Xuan's status in the village was self-evident.
Nodding slightly, Chu Xuan headed straight for the butcher's house in the village.
"Master Li, you've arrived."
When the butcher Xu San saw Chu Xuan, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face, and he rushed over to greet him.
"Should we stick to the old rules?"
Chu Xuan nodded slightly. Xu San had already taken the black leopard and skillfully started processing it. In fact, it's best to process the prey immediately after it's caught.
But Chu Xuan found it troublesome and was too lazy to learn. Anyway, he wouldn't need it in the future. The meat of high-level demon beasts doesn't spoil so easily. As for now, he was fast enough to come to the village to deal with it.
Before long, Xu San had finished processing the black leopard meat and hung up the best piece of tenderloin separately, which was for Chu Xuan to eat himself.
As for the rest, sell them on the spot!
Knowing Chu Xuan's habits, the surrounding villagers had already spontaneously gathered around when Xu San was processing the monster meat.
Although half-beasts are not demonic beasts, they still absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Meat imbued with spiritual energy is highly nourishing and greatly beneficial for martial arts practice.
Everyone wants a piece of the pie.
Over the past year, Chu Xuan has continuously hunted prey, even raising the martial arts level of the entire village to a new level.
However, Chu Xuan was not stupid. A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind. If Xu Family Village was made too strong, it would inevitably attract the attention of the outside world.
Therefore, Chu Xuan refused the village chief of Xu Family Village's request to collect monster meat to support peak-stage acquired martial artists. The meat was sold by weight, and each person could only buy one pound, but everyone in the village could buy some.
Given the size of Xu Family Village, it is fully capable of digesting the flesh of this half-demon beast, while also avoiding the probability of a large number of new innate martial artists appearing.
Otherwise, with the prey that Chu Xuan hunted, it would have been enough to produce two or three new innate masters in Xu Family Village.
One pound of meat yields one gold bean. This black leopard weighs over 300 pounds. In just one moment, Chu Xuan earned nearly 300 gold beans. At Chu Xuan's consumption level, this would be more than enough for three months!
Among the crowd, the innate martial artists from Xu Family Village, as well as a group of experts at the peak of the acquired realm, all had very grim expressions.
They were happy that Chu Xuan killed the half-demon beasts, but the problem was that Chu Xuan didn't allow them to buy them in large quantities; instead, he distributed them equally among the villagers.
Dividing it equally would be a complete waste. Some people will never be able to break through to the Innate Grandmaster level in their entire lives, so using this precious resource on them would be a complete waste.
If these resources were concentrated and used on the few peak acquired martial artists in the village, they could break through to the level of innate grandmaster, thus improving the strength of the entire Xu Family Village.
Unfortunately, Chu Xuan was unwilling.
The crowd wanted to cause trouble, but Chu Xuan's actions had the support of a large number of villagers, and given Chu Xuan's ridiculously strong strength, they had no choice but to let it go.
Some of them even considered secretly collecting the flesh of demonic beasts and using it on those who had a chance of breaking through to the next level.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. Everyone in the whole village is practicing martial arts. Everyone wants meat that contains spiritual energy, even if it is only a pound of meat. Even if you use it, you may not be able to break through.
But what if?
What if I break through? Even if I don't, being a little stronger is better than being a little weaker.
It was one thing if we didn't have it before, but now that we do, how could we possibly give it away again?
After a while, the matter was dropped.
Seeing that the meat was sold out, Chu Xuan immediately carried the ten-pound pork tenderloin towards his wooden house. As for the black leopard skin, it would be delivered once Xu San finished processing it.
As Chu Xuan walked away, the crowd dispersed, leaving only a few innate grandmasters and about twenty post-natal peak martial artists who were expected to break through to the innate realm.
One of the young men, carrying a pound of meat, frowned. "Village chief, this can't go on. We can't let these resources go to waste!"
"Yes, village chief, if you gave me fifty jin (25 kg), I'm sure I could break through to the Innate Realm!"
"That's right. If we collect all this monster meat, the village can be guaranteed to produce at least three Innate Grandmasters."
"·····"
Immediately, everyone began to complain, their eyes filled with dissatisfaction as they looked at Chu Xuan's back. It would have been so much better to just give them the good monster meat directly, instead of selling it off by the pound.
The group of Grandmasters remained silent. As the complaints grew, one person finally spoke up, "Village Chief, I think he just doesn't want our Xu Family Village to become stronger; he has ulterior motives!"
"shut up!"
Xu Ying frowned, turned to look at the young man who had spoken, his face full of seriousness, "This half-demon beast was obtained by a Grandmaster of Strength. It would be perfectly reasonable for him not to give you a single pound of it."
"Everyone, you can leave now."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the group of experts who had reached the Acquired Realm bowed respectfully, picked up the monster meat, and turned to leave.
Only a group of innate martial artists remained on the field. The only old innate martial artist among them frowned and said, "This half-demon beast was killed by a power master. Logically speaking, I have no right to speak."
"But Master Li's method of division is indeed inappropriate."
"I know it's inappropriate. It's obvious they don't want our Xu Family Village to produce more Xiantian cultivators, but what can I do?"
Xu Ying looked at the people around him and said again, "Everyone knows what kind of strength a half-demon beast has. Let alone one person hunting it down, even two or three innate experts working together would find it very difficult to hunt it down."
"Furthermore, cheetahs are naturally agile and will flee if things go wrong. Even if the eight of us worked together, we might not be able to catch up. They were just one person, and they killed him easily."
"What can we do?"
As soon as Xu Ying finished speaking, the group of innate masters around him fell silent. Their strength was what it was; they couldn't win. What could they do?
"That's settled then. For our Xu Family Village, this is a good thing, no matter how you look at it. We'll get ready to hunt them ourselves. And we can decide how to divide the spoils!"
"good!"
The group of innate beings nodded in agreement, and then left to go home. Of course, each of them carried a pound of demon beast meat.
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, so why not take it!
