At Chen San Ye's doorstep, Chen San Ye stood as usual.
"San Ye!"
Chen Xuan called out, addressing Chen San Ye.
"Er Gou, you're here!"
Chen San Ye smiled, his gaze fixed on Chen Xuan.
However, as soon as he spoke, Chen San Ye's expression showed a hint of hesitation, and his eyes couldn't help but focus on the Wild Boar.
"San Ye, is something wrong?"
Seeing Chen San Ye's expression, Chen Xuan's heart stirred, and he subconsciously asked.
"It's like this!"
"Er Gou, you also know that I've taken in quite a few Wild Boars recently. Didn't my youngest son join the Fierce Mountain Hall? He's working as security for the Fu De Restaurant, so the Wild Boars are sent there. I also wanted to help out the villagers, but recently there have been a bit too many Wild Boars. The Fu De Restaurant is a bit reluctant to take them anymore. If the Tiger and Leopard gang were still willing, they might even pay a higher price, perhaps up to a hundred taels."
Looking at Chen Xuan, Chen San Ye gave a wry smile and spoke slowly.
"San Ye means!"
"You're not planning to continue buying these Wild Boars?"
Chen Xuan was stunned. He really hadn't expected this outcome.
"How about this, I'll buy this one Wild Boar at the market price, but after this, I really can't do anything more."
Chen San Ye smiled wryly again, then seemed to make up his mind and spoke solemnly to Chen Xuan.
"Since San Ye isn't buying anymore, how about this? Didn't San Ye give me a bow? This Wild Boar, and here's twenty taels, consider it me buying it from San Ye."
Listening to Chen San Ye's words, Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then took out twenty taels of silver from his bosom and spoke.
"Er Gou, what are you doing?"
Seeing Chen Xuan's actions, Chen San Ye's face couldn't help but stiffen.
"San Ye, I can't let you suffer a loss, can I? Just take it. If I hunt a fierce tiger later, I'll still need to come to you!"
Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Er Gou, I said I'd give that to you, and I meant it. There's no reason to take it back!"
"How about this, I'll take the Wild Boar, but you keep the money!"
Chen San Ye smiled and shook his head.
"San Ye, you still have to take this money. We're all fellow villagers, and it wouldn't feel right for me to just take it for free. If I hunt a tiger later, it won't be easy for me to come to you!"
Chen Xuan shook his head, his right hand still pushing the silver towards Chen San Ye.
"This!"
"Alright then!"
"Er Gou, if you hunt a Tiger or Leopard, you must come over."
Chen San Ye looked a bit troubled, but finally nodded.
"Definitely!"
Chen Xuan said with a smile, then took his leave.
However, as Chen Xuan left, his brows couldn't help but furrow.
The mention of Fu De Restaurant and not accepting Wild Boars was likely just a pretense. The most important part of what the other party said was the last sentence, "Tiger and Leopard are still willing," and "willing to pay one hundred taels."
The price doubled, and they wouldn't accept the Wild Boars anymore.
Clearly, Chen San Ye was forcing him to hunt Tiger and Leopard.
If he wasn't willing, that was fine, but they wouldn't accept Wild Boars anymore. If he wanted to get enough money, he would have to go hunt Tiger and Leopard. As for taking the Wild Boars to Green Mountain City to sell...
Firstly, Chen Xuan had no connections. Secondly, the journey was too far. Thirdly, he was unfamiliar with Green Mountain City. Theoretically, selling them there would be almost impossible.
This was also why he had offered money.
With the money buying the bow and arrows, the two were naturally separated. If something happened, it wouldn't be his problem.
He just didn't know why Chen San Ye was in such a hurry for Tiger and Leopard.
"Tiger and Leopard!"
He murmured softly, and instinctively, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Xuan's mind.
His gaze involuntarily turned towards his Conceptual Ability.
With a thought.
The Conceptual Ability instantly began to flicker.
Target: Entering the Blood Refining realm in the village (To be determined)
Setting complete
"Loading!"
"Loading successful!"
"Path 1: Three days later, a Blood Refining Manual will be sold in the Green Mountain City Black Market. Take one hundred taels of silver and go to the Green Mountain City Black Market to purchase it and return. On the Back Mountain, there are fierce beasts, Tiger and Leopard. Hunt one Tiger and one Leopard every three days. Use the Tiger gall and Leopard heart, along with Thirty-Year Ginseng and Thirty-Year Lingzhi, boil in three buckets of water until only one bucket remains. Soak in it every three days, and cultivate with the Blood Refining Manual. You can complete the Blood Refining realm in three years."
The data appeared, clearly showing the Blood Refining path from before.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's gaze instantly fixed on the Tiger gall and Leopard heart.
"Blood Refining?"
His expression flickered. Looking at this content again now, and thinking about how Chen San Ye's youngest son had joined the Fierce Mountain Hall, he had a vague guess at this moment.
Of course, it was just a guess.
But for Chen Xuan, having a guess was undoubtedly enough.
Because he had his Conceptual Ability.
Target: Find out the reason why Chen San Ye needs Tiger and Leopard (To be determined)
Settings complete
"Loading!"
"Loading successful!"
"Path one: Go to Chen San Ye with a bow and arrow. Pressure him with the bow and arrow, and Chen San Ye will tell you the reason he acquired the Tiger and Leopard."
"Path two: Go to Green Mountain City. There is a gang in Green Mountain City called Fierce Mountain Hall. Legend has it that Fierce Mountain Hall has a Bone Refinement Martial Artist presiding over it. After joining Fierce Mountain Hall and making significant contributions, you can obtain a Blood Refining Manual. Upon opening the Blood Refining Manual, you can learn the reason Chen San Ye acquired the Tiger and Leopard."
"Path three..."
Lines of text appeared, and Chen Xuan's steps moved. At this moment, his expression finally showed a hint of understanding.
If before it was speculation, then at this moment he was certain.
Even though this information was still incomplete, he could confirm that the reason Chen San Ye acquired the Tiger and Leopard was for his youngest son's Blood Refining.
Chen Xuan sighed softly and couldn't help but shake his head.
For him at this moment, this was not good news.
If he wanted to continue earning silver, he only had two options.
One option was to hunt the Tiger and Leopard. The second was to hunt Wild Boars himself and sell them in Green Mountain City.
The first option, needless to say, would definitely increase the difficulty. The second option was also not low. Although he had a Conceptual Ability that allowed him to complete it 100%, doing so would inevitably offend Chen San Ye. Of course, offending Chen San Ye didn't matter much, as he was leaving soon, but the other party's son was from Fierce Mountain Hall.
After repeatedly using his Conceptual Ability, Chen Xuan naturally gained some understanding of Fierce Mountain Hall. This was a second-rate gang in Green Mountain City. He didn't want to offend such an existence in the short term, nor did he want to have any dealings with them.
Even with the Conceptual Ability, it was still the same.
It wasn't that he was timid and afraid of trouble, but with his Conceptual Ability, as long as he developed cautiously, he would inevitably become invincible. Why bother creating so much trouble for himself?
Moreover, and more importantly, the value of Wild Boars was actually not high.
A single one was worth at most seven or eight taels of silver, and mostly only five or six taels. With such a small amount of money, he would need at least a dozen more to cover his expenses. Selling a dozen Wild Boars would take too long and be too conspicuous.
Thus, the second option was essentially not an option.
"Tiger and Leopard!"
He spoke softly, and Chen Xuan's gaze couldn't help but look towards the Back Mountain.
He had made a decision in his heart.
His figure also moved at this moment, returning home.
"Er Gou, are you okay?"
As soon as he returned home, Zhang Chunhua quickly checked her son's body.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine."
Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"I heard Zhang Shan and them!"
After carefully checking that Chen Xuan was really okay, Zhang Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief. However, she quickly seemed to think of something and spoke to Chen Xuan with hesitation.
It was clear that even though he didn't communicate much with others, he had still heard about this matter.
Of course, the main reason was that someone had gone and found them.
As for the purpose, it was self-evident.
"Uncle Zhang Shan and the others met with an accident. I brought their remains back from the mountain."
Chen Xuan sighed and slowly explained.
"Really, all, all of them!"
Zhang Chunhua was also shaken at this moment. Even though she already knew, hearing it from her son's mouth still brought a look of shock to her face.
"Yes!"
Chen Xuan nodded softly, his expression also carrying a hint of a sigh.
With his Conceptual Ability, he knew very well that there was no accident involved.
And no one had survived.
After hearing her son's words, Zhang Chunhua finally recovered after a long time, her gaze immediately turning towards her son with hesitation.
"Er Gou, why don't we stop going up the mountain? This money is enough for us to live on. When the great disaster passes, our family can continue living."
Zhang Chunhua spoke softly, her expression filled with worry.
