NOVEL NEXT Chapter 15
【Killed a True Gang Realm Tiger Demon, total lifespan five hundred years, remaining twelve years, transformation completed】
【Current simulated lifespan: twenty-three years】
It has to be said:
Although the demon race is inherently powerful, when they are just ordinary beasts, they lack intelligence and generally have short lifespans, far inferior to those of the human race.
However, after they awaken with spiritual intelligence, their lifespan grows exponentially.
As the saying goes, there are gains and losses.
With the enhancement of cultivation and the extension of longevity, their cultivation speed is much slower than that of the human race.
“The Tiger Demon existed three hundred years ago… This secret technique similar to the cicada shedding its shell should be at the cost of lifespan, otherwise it would not have only twelve years of lifespan left.”
Looking at the miniature version of the Tiger Demon corpse in his hand, Lin Yuan sighed.
This wave of blood loss!
Not only did the simulated lifespan decrease, but the flesh and blood also shrunk by a large circle.
Should have been killed directly!
“At least it wasn’t a wasted trip…”
With that in mind, Lin Yuan felt slightly comforted.
There’s no rush for the simulation of the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique. Lin Yuan doesn’t have a taste for consuming raw flesh, so it’s not too late to process it cleanly when he returns.
Summer thunderstorms come and go quickly.
Before long, the sky outside had already begun to clear.
Lin Yuan casually tied up the Tiger Demon corpse, bound it to his back, and stepped out towards the door – said to be miniature, it’s about a meter tall now relative to its original size.
“Where, where are you going?”
Ji Ling didn’t dare to stay alone here and quickly caught up.
“Going home,” Lin Yuan casually replied.
“Can I follow you down the mountain? I, I got separated from the guards, so I won’t bother you after we reach Black Mountain City… I can pay you!” Ji Ling hurriedly, somewhat incoherently.
She didn’t want to be left alone in this ominous place. Mountain Lord is truly dead, but who knows if other demons might appear again! The events of today made Ji Ling fully realize her naivety and vulnerability.
The outside world is truly too dangerous!
She finally understood.
Why every time she wanted to travel alone, she would be scolded by her parents and brothers.
Before, Ji Ling always felt that her family was too strict and hindered her growth too much… but now she understands, what it means when ‘ginger gets spicier with age’!
Lin Yuan paused his steps.
Ji Ling nearly bumped into him from behind.
Then she suddenly realized how impolite she had been in her words. How could such a young talent with True Gang Realm cultivation care about her measly money?
It was truly an insult to his character!
Remembering the extremely decisive and sharp killings just now, she panicked in her heart:
“I’m sorry, I meant…”
“How much money?”
“W-What?”
Ji Ling suspected she was hearing things.
“You said you can pay, right?” Lin Yuan turned around and looked at her calmly.
“Ah? Oh, this…” Ji Ling somewhat dazedly took out her pink purse, emptied out a few silver bills and coins, and handed them over, “I only have three one thousand-two silver bills and twenty-three taels of silver left…”
Such wealth… Lin Yuan sighed internally as he took the three thousand two hundred silver bills, “Keep some money for yourself to eat.”
“Thank you, thank you!” Ji Ling felt a little touched.
Moved a point.
She felt that Lin Yuan must have accepted the money to take care of her face.
Let’s not talk about anything else.
Just the body of a True Gang Realm Tiger Demon, selling it in a big city would fetch more than a thousand taels.
Whether it’s its fur, flesh, or bones, they have extremely high value for Elemental Martial Warriors!
But Ji Ling never thought about it.
True Gang Realm monsters are not everywhere, nor will they stand there waiting for you to kill them.
Cultivation for warriors requires a lot of resources.
The demon flesh and blood used to replenish Qi and blood, the medicinal baths that can speed up cultivation, and most importantly, the profound martial arts that cannot be found even if you want to buy them…
For ordinary people, three thousand taels are enough to support a family for many years.
But for warriors, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
So that’s why many warriors join various gangs or work for the Demon Suppression Bureau.
It’s really difficult for wandering cultivators!
“Let’s go.”
With a sudden increase in wealth, Lin Yuan’s depressed mood also improved slightly, with a hint of a smile on his lips.
“Okay!”
Ji Ling followed quickly.
As they walked out of the ruined temple’s gate, she realized that what she had seen was just the tip of the iceberg.
Within dozens of meters, large trees were broken and fallen, the scene was a mess, with pits and craters everywhere, and deep knife marks filled with rainwater.
Instinctively looking ahead, Ji Ling was momentarily stunned.
She saw the graceful young man smile, seeming very pleased, like an ordinary hunter returning from a hunt.
Who would have thought…
That this scene, reminiscent of a rioting beast, was caused by him?
“Young Master, how should I address you? I’m Ji Ling, Ji from season, Ling from agility,” Ji Ling tried to strike up a conversation.
“Lin Yuan.”
“By the side of the pond, Xianyu, better halt and cast a net…what a good name!”
To show sincerity, Ji Ling had long taken off her bamboo hat, revealing a charming and attractive face, but Lin Yuan’s attitude remained indifferent, making her somewhat discouraged.
In the capital, there were many young masters pursuing her.
But on second thought.
How many of those so-called noble young masters could be as powerful as Lin Yuan at such a young age?
So she felt relieved again.
“By the way, Young Master Lin.”
Ji Ling suddenly remembered the matter about the Lingsheng Sect mentioned by the Mountain Lord, “Are you here to handle the Sacrifice to Evil Gods?”
“That’s the Demon Suppression Bureau’s job, not mine,” Lin Yuan said calmly.
Ji Ling was stunned, “Young Master Lin is not from the Demon Suppression Bureau?”
“When did I ever say that I’m from the Demon Suppression Bureau?”
Lin Yuan looked at her strangely.
Ji Ling was at a loss.
Carefully, she realized that Lin Yuan indeed never mentioned he was from the Demon Suppression Bureau from beginning to end, but hearing the Mountain Lord’s words had led her to a misconception.
“Well…”
Ji Ling was about to say something when she saw Lin Yuan stop in his tracks, feeling strange. Suddenly, a black shadow flew like a cannonball and hit a large tree not far away heavily.
The black shadow spat out blood, looked at her, his pale face even more ugly, and lifted a hand with difficulty.
“Miss…”
“Run!!”
