[You killed a Third Order Middle Rank beast, Storm Rage Lion. Evolution Points +15,000!]
"Kid, you're no good. You gave me fewer Evolution Points than the Scorching Saber-toothed Tiger."
"You should be thanking me. If I hadn't shown up, you would've died before that Scorching Saber-toothed Tiger... I suppose I've avenged you, too."
Hearing the system's notification, Lu Yuan couldn't help grumbling.
Then he bent down and dissected the Scorching Saber-toothed Tiger and the Storm Rage Lion.
First, he took out their most valuable crystals.
Then he collected other important parts, such as the tiger's penis and the lion's heart.
If their pelts hadn't been ruined, Lu Yuan would have skinned them, too.
And so...
Five days passed in a flash.
Just like that, a fifth of the journey through the Lost Ruins was over...
Lu Yuan had harvested an S-rank herb—the Blazing Red Lotus.
It grew in an isolated pool of magma, where the temperature was scorching. It couldn't be touched with bare hands.
Lu Yuan spent a full half hour using his ability on it before he finally managed to freeze it.
Only then could he pull it out of the magma with his hands.
Unfortunately, consuming the Blazing Red Lotus would only increase the activity of the fire-type Primal Energy in one's body.
For Lu Yuan, it was only good for selling.
He had also found many other herbs.
Twenty-six C-rank herbs, eleven B-rank herbs, and six A-rank herbs.
More importantly, Lu Yuan now had 100,000 Evolution Points!
Following his original plan,
he didn't hesitate to raise Detective Skill's proficiency from Master-grade to Supreme-grade!
It was also the first skill Lu Yuan had ever raised to Supreme-grade.
Detective Skill was just too useful.
