Li Luo, Big Profit

With these three thousand-plus Spirit Crystals, Lu Yuan kept five hundred for absorbing and refining his gene chains later.

He took the remaining two thousand-plus Spirit Crystals and used them all to charge the Evolution Cube.

At this moment, the Evolution Cube once again glowed with a dark blue light, which was a bit deeper than the first time.

However, the energy of the Evolution Cube was still not enough to evolve the Black Iron Body.

But Lu Yuan wasn't in a hurry.

He had thought about it carefully. Each gene evolution would definitely bring changes to his Gene Battle Skill.

His current Black Iron Body had been seen by many people. If he evolved the Black Iron Body during the Apprentice stage, the Battle Skill would also change accordingly.

Clearly still an Apprentice, and he hasn't inscribed a second gene yet, but his Battle Skill has changed. This is too strange.

There's no problem with him being a genius, but the evolution of genes is too magical. Lu Yuan would never let others know about it.

If others knew that he had the ability to evolve genes, then he would probably be in great danger.

Therefore, Lu Yuan thought that he would evolve the Black Iron Body when he broke through to the first rank.

At that time, he could claim that this was the second Extraordinary Gene he had obtained.

Although inscribing a boss-level Extraordinary Gene at the first rank was powerful, it wasn't unheard of. At most, he would just be regarded as a super genius.

And he could secretly inscribe another gene.

At that time, with the blessing of two boss-level Extraordinary Genes, to what extent would his strength reach?

It was terrifying just thinking about it.

The Evolution Cube absorbed the Spirit Crystals, and Lu Yuan himself also absorbed a portion of the Spirit Crystals to refine his gene chains.

Until he couldn't bear it anymore, his gene refinement had reached 14%.

If others knew about this cultivation speed, they would probably be shocked.

There were still about two hundred Spirit Crystals left, and Lu Yuan planned to keep them.

In fact, Spirit Crystals could be sold for money, but for Gene Warriors, the value of Spirit Crystals was definitely far greater than money. Generally, not many Gene Warriors would exchange Spirit Crystals for money.

Even though Lu Yuan was so poor, he wouldn't consider selling Spirit Crystals.

After absorbing the Spirit Crystals, Lu Yuan rested for a while, ate something, and then set off again to continue hunting fierce beasts.

As Lu Yuan's strength increased, his efficiency in hunting fierce beasts became higher and higher.

Soon, his materials filled the War Rune Space.

At this moment, less than half of the light door leading out had lit up.

It was definitely not an option to stop hunting fierce beasts, so he could only sell the materials.

The place to sell materials was naturally the small market at the exit of the dungeon.

It was difficult to identify directions in the dungeon, but fortunately, the post where he bought the map had instructions.

Inside the underground palace, there was a type of grass with a strong tendency towards wind.

This grass would grow in the direction of faster air flow.

And in the underground palace, although the principle was unknown, the air was consistently decent, but only towards the exit would the air flow become faster.

As long as one found this grass and followed its growth direction, one could find the direction of the exit.

Lu Yuan searched in the nearby passages for a while and quickly found a purple little grass in a corner.

The little grass clung to the wall, growing in one direction.

Lu Yuan smiled and moved in the direction the grass was growing.

Along the way, constantly searching for wind-attracting grass, Lu Yuan found that the number of ferocious beasts was decreasing, and occasionally he could even see other Gene Warrior teams.

Each Gene Warrior team looked at Lu Yuan warily upon seeing him.

They only lowered their guard after Lu Yuan left.

Of course, there were also human Gene Warriors who smiled and nodded at Lu Yuan, as a greeting.

In this kind of place, the relationship between members of the same race was closer than that with other races.

If two Gene Warrior teams were fighting, helping one's own race was considered a tacit understanding.

This was not only the case for humans, but also for Cat People, Elves, and Kobolds.

After walking for a while, Lu Yuan finally found the exit.

Exiting the underground palace, a biting cold wind rushed towards him, making Lu Yuan shiver.

It was night, and the night covered the entire desert, with a biting night wind.

The sky had a brilliant starry sky, and the silver light sprinkled down, so it didn't appear dark.

"Buying materials! Ordinary materials, elite materials, all kinds of materials are bought! Priority for large quantities! The price is guaranteed to satisfy you!"

"Late-night stalls, grilled scorpion meat, grilled ant legs, stir-fried spider meat, hurry up if you want some!"

"Selling Gene Armaments, selling Gene Armaments, prices are negotiable!"

"..."

Even at night, there were still many Gene Warriors setting up stalls and hawking at the exit.

Not everyone liked fighting ferocious beasts; making money by doing business and improving one's gene tempering was also a good thing.

Of course, there might be special reasons for this.

After all, many Gene Warriors had signed contracts with consortia, and perhaps this was a task from the consortia.

However, Lu Yuan noticed that all the hawkers were humans; there were no Kobolds, Cat People, or Elves.

The Elves were proud and disdained setting up stalls on the roadside.

Cat People seemed to have internal channels for digestion, which was somewhat different from the other three races.

Lu Yuan came to a material acquisition stall that was calling out particularly loudly.

The stall owner was a young human.

Seeing Lu Yuan, his eyes lit up, revealing a hearty smile:

"Sir, are you selling materials?"

"Yes, take a look at the prices."

Lu Yuan took out the materials he wanted to sell and placed them on the stall.

"Quite a lot, it seems like you've had a good harvest this time, sir."

"Well... Little Stone Man's Heart, 2 Spirit Crystals each, Poison Scorpion Tail Stingers, 3 Spirit Crystals each, Spider Silk, 3.5 Spirit Crystals per bundle... That's 1139.5 Spirit Crystals in total, I'll round it up to an even 1140 Spirit Crystals, how does that sound?"

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Alright, that price works."

Lu Yuan had checked the market prices for these materials in the Origin Land before, and this young man was being quite fair, offering the highest prices on the market.

Lu Yuan was already very satisfied with 1140 Spirit Crystals.

Adding the Spirit Crystals he had left, his total reached 1387.

He planned to use these Spirit Crystals for cultivation and as a reserve of spirit power, rather than letting the Evolution Cube absorb them.

As he was about to leave after taking the Spirit Crystals from the young man, the young man quickly said with a smile:

"Sir, please wait."

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan looked at him with some confusion.

"Sir, I see you're a lone wolf? You've had a good harvest this time, so your strength must be pretty good, right?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Look, I'm a material merchant under the Exquisite Merchant Guild, and I have a lot of pressure to meet my monthly quota. How about this, if you come to me every time you sell materials in the future, I'll definitely give you the highest market price. You definitely won't find a higher price anywhere else."

The young man said with a smile.

Lu Yuan understood, no wonder this young man offered such good prices earlier.

He thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem, as long as I'm still in the dungeon, I'll definitely come to you with materials."

It didn't matter who he sold to anyway, and for Lu Yuan, finding a familiar material merchant would save him trouble.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had agreed, the young man's eyes lit up, and his smile became even brighter.

"My name is Li Luo, may I ask your surname, sir?"

"My surname is Lu."

"Mr. Lu! I hope we can cooperate more in the future. By the way, Mr. Lu, do you have a Communication Crystal? How about we add each other as contacts?"

"I haven't bought one yet."

Lu Yuan wondered if he should indeed prepare a Communication Crystal.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to communicate with people when he needed to.

"I see, then you can come here directly if you want to sell materials, I'm basically always here."

Lu Yuan nodded, and then entered the dungeon again.

After all, there are less than two months left before the college entrance examination, and his current cultivation is still a bit low.

He has to cultivate well before the college entrance examination.

Also, there has been no news about that black shadow, and Lu Yuan has a thorn in his heart. Only by working hard to cultivate and improving his own strength can he have a sense of security.

In the following time, Lu Yuan had been hunting fierce beasts in the dungeon.

His strength became stronger and stronger, and the fierce beasts in the outer area of the dungeon could no longer pose any threat to him.

His powerful defensive ability and the never-ending spirit power can be said to be an unstoppable force.

He could kill hundreds of fierce beasts every day, and the harvest of Spirit Crystals and materials was naturally a lot.

He even had to leave the dungeon every day to sell the materials.

The next day, when Lu Yuan came out of the dungeon to sell materials, Li Luo was stunned:

"Mr. Lu, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Of course, it's to sell materials."

Lu Yuan threw a pile of materials on the stall.

Li Luo's eyes widened: "Did you kill all of these in one day?"

Lu Yuan nodded.

In fact, he had tried his best to choose materials that were high in price and easy to carry.

The number of fierce beasts he killed himself was about twice the amount of materials.

Li Luo looked at Lu Yuan a few more times, and then counted the materials.

"A total of 1100 Spirit Crystals."

On the third day.

Li Luo looked at the pile of materials Lu Yuan put down.

"Mr. Lu, you actually harvested so much today?! Your strength is really powerful! Let me count it for you. Hmm... a total of 1120 Spirit Crystals."

He smiled and gave the Spirit Crystals to Lu Yuan:

"Thanks to Mr. Lu, I feel like my performance can be improved."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "If you want to thank me, give me more Spirit Crystals."

"Ahahaha... Mr. Lu is joking... I've already given you the highest amount within my authority. If it's any higher, I'm afraid I'll lose my job."

Lu Yuan smiled and didn't care.

Ever since the battle in the Ant Nest, he had discovered the power of the Guardian type.

With his defensive abilities, he could wander around the dungeon at will.

He could kill five or six hundred ferocious beasts every day.

Even without counting the materials, just the Spirit Crystals alone, he could harvest more than 1500 every day.

Adding the materials, he could harvest more than 2600 Spirit Crystals every day!

In three days, his number of Spirit Crystals reached as many as 6643.

You should know that the current market price outside is 150 to 200 yuan to buy 1 Spirit Crystal, even if calculated at the lowest 150, he has earned more than 997,000 in these three days!
