Was Feng Yunqi Tainted by the Curse?

"Huh? That's it? Shouldn't it have been Eighth Order?"

Su Ye tilted his head in confusion.

The Cursed Black Vine's combat strength had reached Eighth Order, so its Slaughter Value should have been somewhere between 7,500 and 12,000.

Why had he gotten only 6,600?

That was far too little.

"Because that vine sacrificed part of itself to survive. What you killed was only a Half-Demon Vine. It even split off a Little Half-Demon that escaped."

Lan Jiuyou's voice sounded in Su Ye's mind.

So that was it.

"I let my guard down."

Shaking his head, Su Ye bent down and began gathering the Black Vine's "corpse" from the ground.

Even if the Black Vine had been only a Seventh Rank Half-Demon Vine when it died, this "corpse" was still genuine Eighth Order Cursed Black Vine. He could sell it for a tidy sum.

"Sister Jiuyou, this divine power on me really is useful. Does that mean... when I run into the Raven of Curse, I can beat it into submission too?"

Su Ye asked in his mind.

The Raven of Curse was the true purpose of his trip.

"Su Ye, aren't you getting ahead of yourself? The Raven of Curse may be sealed, but it was once a Divine Realm expert. You haven't even condensed a Divine Core, and you think you can beat it into submission? Even with the wisp of divine power she gave you, the most it can do is keep the curse from corroding you."

Lan Jiuyou dashed his hopes without mercy.

Su Ye sighed.

It really wasn't that simple.

But he didn't lose heart.

"Sister Jiuyou, the Raven of Curse is nothing compared to you. How about... you kill it for me? No, hold it down and let me kill it. I'll get you... twenty
