Successfully Descend the Mountain! Head to the Black Market!

After breaking through to the Tendon Refining Realm, Su Xian fully activated his sensory abilities, hoping to find any trace of the Cat Demons.

However, by the time it was nearing dusk, Su Xian hadn't encountered a single Cat Demon.

Gazing at the distant sky, Su Xian frowned.

They had walked quite a distance around the outskirts of Green Dragon Mountain, so why hadn't they encountered any Cat Demons?

Could it be that the Cat Demons were truly hiding?

"Brother Ye! It's getting late, we should head down the mountain!"

Deng Lin approached Su Xian and said respectfully.

The surrounding cultivators in the Skin Grinding Realm and herb gatherers also looked towards Su Xian, awaiting his command.

"Alright, let's head down the mountain!"

Su Xian nodded. After sunset, Green Dragon Mountain became extremely dangerous!

Even though he was now a cultivator in the Tendon Refining Realm, he wasn't confident about staying in Green Dragon Mountain at night.

Upon hearing Su Xian's words, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, everyone descended the mountain and rendezvoused with the other groups.

After exchanging information, Su Xian discovered that the other groups hadn't encountered any Cat Demons either!

Su Xian couldn't help but frown. It seemed the Cat Demons had truly gone into hiding.

Otherwise, how could none of these groups have encountered a single Cat Demon!

However, Su Xian didn't really care. It was even better that they hadn't encountered any!

He had already broken through to the Tendon Refining Realm!

Now was the perfect time to slay the Cat Demons and obtain their Remaining Lifespan!

Su Xian planned to enter Green Dragon Mountain again tomorrow after sunrise to search for the Cat Demons.

As for the location, he already had some ideas!

"Everyone!" Qin Yunsheng looked at the assembled crowd and said loudly, "Although we didn't slay any Cat Demons, our harvest today was still good! You can all come and collect your remaining payment."

The crowd cheered upon hearing this! For them, this was a considerable sum of silver!

Su Xian looked at the leader Qin Yunsheng and Qing Yan beside him, his brow furrowed.

Logically speaking, the day's operation could be considered a complete failure.

After all, they had spent so much silver and hired so many people, only to collect some herbs. Not a single one of the target Cat Demons was seen.

No matter how he calculated it, it felt like a huge loss, but Su Xian felt that Qing Yan seemed somewhat happy, and he didn't know why.

Could it be that wasting Azure Cloud Medical Hall's money made them feel great?

Su Xian shook his head and went to collect his payment.

However, while collecting his payment, Qing Yan spoke up:

"Brother, are you selling the wolf pelt you have? Two hundred taels of silver!"

"Sure." Su Xian nodded and tossed the wolf pelt to Qing Yan.

According to Deng Lin, this wolf pelt would sell for at most 180 taels. Qing Yan offered 200 taels, so it was fine to sell it to him.

After receiving his payment and the extra two hundred taels of silver, Su Xian prepared to take his remaining wolf meat home.

"Brother Ye, wait!"

Deng Lin called out to Su Xian and handed him a piece of paper with some writing on it.

Su Xian glanced at it. It was a method for stewing the wolf meat to make it more delicious and less chewy.

It was written quite detailed, and the quantities of the required ingredients were also listed.

Su Xian smiled slightly upon seeing this: "Thank you!"

If possible, Su Xian really didn't want to eat that chewy wolf meat!

Su Xian put the paper away and left.

However, he didn't head straight home but went to an inn in the city and booked a room.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

He planned to return home under the cover of night.

After Su Xian left, Qing Yan stroked the wolf pelt in his hand, his brow furrowed.

He could tell that the wolf pelt in his hand came from a Peak Second-Rank Wolf Demon!

"What is his cultivation level? Muscle Forging Realm or Tendon Refining Realm?" Qing Yan wondered, frowning slightly.

Then, he shook his head and turned to walk deeper into Azure Cloud Medical Hall.

Even though they didn't manage to kill any Cat Demons today, his mission was complete, and that was all that mattered!

"How is it? Is that fruit still there?" Qing Yun, the Master of Azure Cloud Medical Hall, asked from the depths of the building.

Qing Yan nodded slightly and said, "The fruit is still there!"

After speaking, Qing Yan took out a piece of paper from his chest. On it was a drawing of a strange plant.

It had seven leaves, and at the very top was a fruit the size of a fist.

Its color was already close to fully red, with only a small part still green.

"Good, good, good!" Qing Yun took the drawing and looked at it carefully before laughing heartily.

"You did very well! No one else discovered your purpose, did they?"

Qing Yun looked at his son, extremely satisfied, and then asked again.

"No, don't worry!"

Qing Yan shook his head slightly. He was fully confident that no one could possibly discover his whereabouts.

"That's good, you may leave now!" Qing Yun waved his hand.

Qing Yan nodded, then turned and quickly left.

"Hahaha! Judging by this, this fruit should be ripe within a month!"

Qing Yun looked closely at the painting in his hand, his face filled with excitement:

"Once I eat this fruit! I will break through to the Storage Realm! Truly leaving the mortal world!"

Qing Yun was incredibly excited and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Meanwhile, in a room at the inn, Su Xian was tallying his gains for the day.

The one hundred and fifty taels of reward from Azure Cloud Medical Hall, plus the two hundred taels from selling wolf pelts, totaled three hundred and fifty taels!

"Hiss! It's much more profitable to be a martial artist!" Su Xian looked at the silver notes in his hand and couldn't help but click his tongue.

When he was still a mortal, he couldn't save much money even with all his effort, but after becoming a martial artist, he had so easily earned 350 taels of silver!

The difference was simply unimaginable!

"Martial artists and mortals are indeed two vastly different classes!"

"The higher a martial artist's cultivation, the more resources they obtain!"

Su Xian sighed with emotion. If he didn't have the Demon Strategy, he probably would have already become cat shit by now.

"I still need more demon lifespan!"

Su Xian looked at the remaining forty-three years of demon lifespan in the Demon Strategy.

He made a firm resolution that when the sun rose tomorrow, he would head into the mountains to find those Cat Demons and kill them!

"However! Two Second Grade Perfection Cat Demons won't be easy to deal with! Especially since they are a couple, they will likely cooperate!" Su Xian frowned and pondered.

"And even though I've reached the early stage of the Tendon Refining Realm, I probably won't be able to catch up to those two Second Grade Perfection Cat Demons in the dense forest!"

"After all, it's their territory! And I have almost no movement techniques!"

Thinking of this, Su Xian suddenly had an idea.

After it got completely dark, Su Xian quietly took the wolf meat in his hands back home and hid it.

This wolf meat was indeed from a Second Grade demon. Even stored like this, it could last for many days without spoiling!

After doing all this, Su Xian took his silver notes and prepared to head to the Black Market in Blackwater County!

He planned to find a movement technique there! So that he wouldn't be unable to catch the Cat Demons when the time came!

Soon, Su Xian, wearing a mask, arrived outside the Black Market.
