Beast Treasure Pavilion! Four Hundred Gold Soul Coins Earned!

Fu Wen and Flender spent the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to perfectly dismember the corpse of the Bone-Splitting Giant Crocodile.

Separating bone from flesh, they maintained an integrity rate of over ninety-five percent.

The more intact the materials, the higher the selling price.

This was the reason Flender did not simply use his skills to cut it up.

Because he could not guarantee or control the outcome; if he had used his skills, the crocodile corpse would surely have been smashed to pieces, rendering it worthless.

"Whew~ I'm exhausted. This isn't a job for just anyone."

Fu Wen was drenched in sweat, letting out a heavy breath of stale air before he finally recovered.

"Indeed, this is back-breaking work. After finishing this, my old waist is aching like crazy. It won't do; I'm getting old, and my bones aren't what they used to be."

"Next time, we should just bring it out and have the people at the academy help."

"That way, we can save on labor costs again."

Flender hammered his sore, aching waist, revealing his true nature as a profiteer with a laugh.

He intended to exploit the labor force of the academy.

After storing all the materials into his storage ring, he grabbed Fu Wen and flew away from the area.

"Dad, should I go to Martial Soul Hall to register as a one-ring Spirit Master? There's a monthly subsidy of one Gold Soul Coin."

High above, Fu Wen asked.

"Your situation is special; you cannot go."

"Or rather, wait until you are a bit older."

"You obtained your first spirit skill at such a young age, your spirit power is already at level thirteen, and your martial soul is such a powerful Mutated Sea Crocodile. They would certainly guess that you have Innate Full Soul Power. If you refuse to join them, they will definitely report it to the main hall. I worry that Martial Soul Hall lacks integrity and might hunt down geniuses in the shadows."

"These are things Martial Soul Hall is capable of, or rather, other factions are the same."

"Martial Soul Hall has no shortage of Soul Douluo and Title Douluo. If they really came to assassinate you, your dad, with my current strength as a seven-ring Soul Saint, would not be able to protect you."

Flender shook his head and said.

"Then why can my brother go?"

The brother Fu Wen referred to was, naturally, Oscar.

Oscar, like him, had been adopted by Flender since he was small.

However, the other boy had arrived much later.

The two brothers had a very close relationship.

Oscar was two years older than him, so calling him brother was only natural.

In truth, Fu Wen knew the reason, but he asked anyway, intending to let the man say it himself.

"Because Xiao Ao's martial soul is a sausage, which looks very ordinary. Even if Martial Soul Hall knew he had Innate Full Soul Power, they would attribute it to sheer luck."

"Martial Soul Hall would not place much importance on such a martial soul."

"That is why he can go."

Flender said.

"Then Dad, you'll have to earn money well from now on."

Fu Wen teased with a smile.

Flender laughed: "That goes without saying. Dad will strive to get you into a villa within three years."

"Good." Fu Wen nodded.

After leaving the Soul Hunting Forest.

The two landed and arrived at the largest spirit beast material trading market in Suotuo City.

Fu Wen had followed along, which could be considered gaining some worldly experience.

In six years, this was his first time coming to such a place.

It was extremely lively inside, with various shops and street stalls all buying and selling spirit beast materials.

Everything was made of spirit beast parts.

Skin, meat, bone, tendons...

There were many parts, and the selection was very complete.

Flender found the largest shop in the area.

It was called the Beast Treasure Pavilion.

He was a regular customer, and the boss was an acquaintance of his.

"Old Chen, I've brought a big order."

Walking into the shop, Flender greeted him with a smile.

Fu Wen observed the shop; it was quite large, and many people were browsing the goods.

"Oh my, if it isn't Boss Flender gracing us with his presence!"

"I wonder, are you here to sell or buy today?"

Old Chen rubbed his hands together, smiling.

"This is the material from a four-hundred-year-old Bone-Splitting Giant Crocodile. It's a sub-dragon species, and a rare one at that; its combat power at four hundred years is enough to rival an ordinary thousand-year spirit beast. I trust you won't offer a low price."

"Everything is here, excluding the meat."

"Give me a price. If it's fair, it's yours."

Flender waved his hand, and the dissected spirit beast materials landed on the floor.

They immediately drew the gazes of the onlookers in the hall.

"It's actually a rare sub-dragon species, a Bone-Splitting Giant Crocodile! And it's four hundred years old!"

"This is a creature capable of going toe-to-toe with an ordinary thousand-year spirit beast!"

"I never expected to see one here!"

The crowd was astonished, their eyes revealing a mix of emotions.

Yet, all of them were tinged with desire and greed.

"Good, good!! This is truly a big order!"

"Boss Flender, give me a moment, I will appraise it for you right away!"

"The price will certainly satisfy you!"

Old Chen's eyes glinted with golden light; he could smell the scent of big money.

He crouched down and began to appraise the items one by one.

His hand moved quickly, writing on the file.

The others watched, curious as to how much this thing could be worth without the meat.

Scales, 95% integrity, appraised at two hundred Gold Soul Coin.

Skeleton, 95% integrity, appraised at one hundred Gold Soul Coin.

Claws and teeth, 95% integrity, appraised at fifty Gold Soul Coin.

Internal organs, 95% integrity, appraised at fifty Gold Soul Coin.

Final total appraisal: four hundred Gold Soul Coin.

"Alright, Boss Flender, please take a look. Are you satisfied with this price?"

Old Chen handed the quote to Flender.

Flender took it and glanced over it; it was more or less what he had in mind, so he nodded. "That's fine, pay me according to this price."

"Very well, one moment."

"Please, check it over."

Soon, Old Chen brought over a heavy bag and handed it to Flender.

"No need. We've been working together for so long, I trust you."

Although Flender said this, the moment his hand took the bag, his seasoned experience allowed him to judge whether it was short-weighted or not.

The answer was no.

It was neither more nor less.

Besides, Old Chen wasn't a fool; if he skimmed off the top, he would be offending a VIP.

If Flender had better materials in the future, he wouldn't bring them here.

At this price of four hundred Gold Soul Coin, Old Chen would certainly make even more when he resold it.

Because he had his own channels and connections.

In any case, a merchant would never engage in a losing business.

Since he spent such a large sum to buy it, he must have a way to sell it for an even higher price.

Otherwise, he would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Having received the money, Flender left with Fu Wen.

The crowd watched the large sum of money, their eyes turning red with envy.

Four hundred Gold Soul Coin, after all.

How long would it take them to earn this much money?

Many people wouldn't even earn this much in their entire lives.

"These four hundred Gold Soul Coin, calculated at the standard of one Gold Soul Coin per month for a one-ring Spirit Master, are enough to subsidize you for four hundred months, which is over thirty-three years."

"These twenty Gold Soul Coin will serve as pocket money for you and Xiao Ao for this month; when you get to school, take ten each."

"Don't think it's too little. I still have to pay the academy teachers' salaries with the remaining money. All the big and small matters in the academy, repairs, and such require a lot of funds. Then there are the three daily meals for students and teachers, plus various other cultivation resources. In truth, while these four hundred Gold Soul Coin are a huge fortune for ordinary Spirit Masters or even commoners, for us, they will be spent very quickly."

Flender opened the bag, took out ten Gold Soul Coin, and handed them to Fu Wen.

With room and board provided, these ten Gold Soul Coin were enough to last a very long time.

In this world, the purchasing power of a Gold Soul Coin is immense.
