Watching Zhao Xuanting and Zhao Xuanzhen stride away, Gao Yuan remained silent.
Then.
Gao Yuan waved a hand over his Storage Bag, took out all 62 remaining spirit stones, set aside 12, and handed the rest to Qin Wang. "Little Qin, those Zhao brothers are truly hateful. There was nothing we could do about what happened. How about this? I'll take 12, and you take 50. What do you think?"
"Uncle Gao, th-this... how could I accept that? I'll take 40."
Qin Wang sighed inwardly, took out 40 spirit stones, then stuffed the remainder back into Gao Yuan's hands.
Gao Yuan had helped him; he could not let the man suffer a loss.
The remaining 22 stones counted as his reward.
There was no helping it.
If anyone was to blame, it was the Zhao brothers. Qin Wang etched this grudge into his heart. Someday, he would collect the debt with interest.
"Little Qin, this loss was caused by me. I truly feel ashamed!"
Seeing Qin Wang return the bundle, Gao Yuan declined again and again. But when he saw Qin Wang insist, he could only accept it helplessly.
"This Monster Butchery handles demon beast corpses. It sells materials, teeth, bones, spider venom, snake venom, and all sorts of things. I'll bring back enough materials to prepare Beisu Fenglingxiang!"
"And I can wander around the streets while I'm at it and trigger some intel."
Qin Wang followed Gao Yuan and Gao Wenjing back to the little wooden hut. Once inside his room, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
He then put away the spirit stones, shut the door, and headed back to the Monster Butchery.
Beisu Fenglingxiang: Prepared from Moon Demon Spider venom, Paralyzing Moth venom, Crimson Serpent essence blood from first-tier demon beasts, and thirty-six medicinal ingredients. Once
