Yellow level Beast Core?
I concentrated and sensed it. There was a pure power inside the fingernail-sized black ball. This power seemed to be used to seal an acupoint, but it seemed to be stronger than the Green Arrow Snake's cultivation.
Since I couldn't see anything special about it, I asked Nam, "What is a Yellow level Beast Core?"
Hearing my question, Nam found it strange, "You don't know?"
I shook my head. Only then did Nam react, "It seems that you didn't have much contact with the outside world at your previous master's place."
As he said that, he carefully put the Yellow level Beast Core into his pocket. Then, he continued to explain, "Beast Cores are divided into four ranks according to the amount of power they contain: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Normally, when a killer reaches the Monster Spirit realm, they will start to condense a Beast Core. However, the Beast Cores at this stage are basically unranked. Normally, they will only condense a Yellow level Beast Core when they are close to the Monster General level. I really don't know what this Green Arrow Snake ate to actually be able to condense a Yellow level Beast Core!"
At this moment, Nam had completely forgotten about the conflict with the Jackal tribe. He smiled, revealing his white teeth, and continued to tell me, "An unranked Beast Core can only be exchanged for one gold coin. However, a Yellow level Beast Core can be exchanged for at least thirty gold coins!"
An increase of over thirty times … I nodded. I didn't find it strange, so I casually asked him about the price of a higher ranked Beast Core. This time, Nam shook his head, "There aren't many higher ranked Beast Cores in Rock City. The price is impossible to estimate … However, the most important thing about a Beast Core isn't that it can be exchanged for gold coins. Most of the time, even if you have gold coins, you might not be able to buy a Beast Core.
Every Beast Core contains a very strong power. With this Yellow level Beast Core, if the village chief adds it into the Thousand Leaves Arrowroot, it will definitely be of great help to your injuries! "
At this moment, he was still concerned about my injuries. This made me very touched, but after thinking about it, I felt a little embarrassed to accept it. I opened my mouth and said to Nam, "The power contained in the Beast Core will definitely be of help to your cultivation. Right now, you are at the crucial moment of breaking through to the Monster Spirit realm. This Beast Core should be used by you first."
After Nam heard this, he hesitated for a moment. It was obvious that he could not reject this temptation, but he also felt apologetic. He stuttered and could not say anything for a long time.
I grinned at the side and comforted him. "You should use the Beast Core to raise your cultivation first. In the future, when your cultivation is high, we can go hunt monsters to obtain the Beast Cores. At that time, my injuries will also be able to recover."
Hearing me say that, Nam finally found a way out. He quickly nodded and solemnly promised, "When my cultivation increases, I'll definitely go hunt monsters. I'll at least find you a yellow level beast core!"
I nodded but didn't care about his promise.
Nam had already said that a normal Yellow Grade Beast Core would be condensed in the body of a fierce beast that was close to a Demon General.
Demon General cultivation corresponded to Glory of Knowledge. In other words, if one wanted to obtain a Yellow Grade Beast Core, they had to kill vicious beasts that were close to Glory of Knowledge.
Even if Nam successfully advanced to the Demon Spirit Realm, it would be impossible for him to hunt such a fierce beast in a short period of time.
I'll have to figure it out myself.
With my current strength, I could only use Yellow Grade Talismans. Although I'm not afraid of monsters below the Demon General rank, it won't be easy to kill them. I'll have to think about it carefully.
Even though I won't be able to obtain the Beast Core in a short period of time, I was still rather excited. After all, I found a way to recover from my injuries. Compared to the Yellow Grade Beast Core, this was more important.
After waiting for Nam's excitement to subside, I reminded him. "It's getting late. We have to hurry and gather the herbs. If we drag it until night time, I'm afraid that there will be even more fierce beasts."
Hearing me say that, Nam instantly retracted the smile on his face. He quickly stood up and nodded. "That's right, that's right. Let's hurry and search. The next time we meet a fierce beast, we won't be so lucky."
As he said that, he started to search around. At the same time, he comforted me. "Duo Ji, you don't have to be anxious. Let's work hard and we'll definitely be able to find the herb that can heal your injuries!"
This brat probably thought that I was in a hurry to find Qianye Ai Ling.
I smiled and didn't explain, but continued to search around with him.
The herbs that the village chief wanted were all common items. We quickly found more than half of them.
During the process of gathering the herbs, I kept sensing the Qi imprint that I left on the bodies of the Jackal clansmen. After we finished searching the forest, Nam continued to lead me forward. I sensed that the Jackal clansmen had already left the back of the mountain and were heading out of the forest.
The forest beside Green Water Village was extremely large, but the back of the mountain was very small. After leaving the back of the mountain, the Jackal clansmen shouldn't be suspicious of us anymore.
Thus, I pretended to have a stomachache and told Nam that I needed to relieve myself. I told him to continue searching for the herbs.
Since Nam wanted to use the Yellow Grade Beast Core, he felt guilty towards me and was trying his best to find Qianye Ai Ling. After hearing what I said, he didn't suspect anything and nodded before continuing forward.
After he had gone far away, I quickly rushed down the mountain. Even though Gale and the other three Jackal clansmen were riding monsters, their speed was very slow. When I reached the foot of the mountain, I could see their swaying silhouettes moving forward.
I quietly followed them. At the same time, I randomly picked one of the herbs that I had just gathered. After crushing it, I smeared it on my body.
Herbs usually had a strong smell. After smearing it on my body, my body was filled with the pungent smell of herbs, concealing my aura.
I didn't do this because I was worried that Gale and the others would discover me. With their cultivation, it was impossible for them to have such an ability. I was more worried about the monsters that they were riding.
In order to not bring trouble to Green Water Village and obtain Qianye Ai Ling, I could only use the most secretive method.
After concealing my aura, I quickened my pace and quickly closed the distance between me and the Jackal clansmen.
In this range, the power of the Yellow Grade Talisman was enough to reach me. I took out four talismans from the Xiang Liu bag. Two of them were the Lightning Talismans that I had just used, while the other two were the Fierce Sun Talismans.
The Lightning Talisman could create drought lightning while the Fierce Sun Talisman could create flames. When lightning and fire intersected, their powers would be enhanced.
With my current power, I didn't dare to be careless when facing the three Jackal clansmen that were close to the Monster's cultivation. I had to make sure that I would make them lose consciousness.
After injecting my spirit into the talismans, the four Yellow Grade Talismans were simultaneously activated. In the clear sky, lightning and fire suddenly fell, heading straight for the three Jackal clansmen.
Gale and the other two obviously didn't react to this sudden scene. Their laughter abruptly stopped, and their bodies ignited in flames. Their consciousness was also temporarily lost due to the drought lightning.
After confirming that they had closed their eyes, I quickly walked forward and used a Yin Gathering Talisman to disperse the flames on their bodies. After that, I took out the herb from Gale's bosom.
After carefully examining it, I confirmed that it was the Qianye Ai Ling that the Village Elder had mentioned before carefully placing it in my bosom.
Following that, I checked the bodies of the three Jackal clansmen. After confirming that they had only fainted and weren't dead, I felt relieved and left.
I didn't want to bring trouble to Green Water Village, so I had to ensure that Gale and the others were alive. Otherwise, the deaths of the three youths would definitely incite the anger of the Jackal clansmen. At that time, it would be hard to guarantee that they wouldn't find any clues. With my current power, I wouldn't be able to protect Green Water Village. Even if I could protect them, it wouldn't be good to reveal my current cultivation in the Monster race's territory.
Now that everything was going according to plan, I didn't have anything to worry about. I quickly left the place and returned to the mountain. I quickly found Nam, who was still searching for herbs.
Seeing that I had returned, Nam didn't ask why I had been gone for so long. He only said to me in distress, "I've found all the herbs that the Village Elder wanted, but I still haven't found the Qianye Ai Ling … But Duo Ji, you don't have to worry. There's still some time before it gets dark. Let's continue to search the mountain top. We have to find it today no matter what."
Looking at his distressed expression, I mysteriously smiled and took out the Qianye Ai Ling from my bosom. I told him that when I was going to the toilet, I accidentally found this herb. It was very similar to the Qianye Ai Ling that the Village Elder had drawn. That's why I spent a lot of time to pick it up and let Nam take out the Village Elder's portrait to compare.
