[Item name]: Black Flood Dragon Meat [Item grade]: first-grade spirit material [Item ability]: Nourishes the body [Item description]: The flesh of the spirit-attuned Demon Beast, the Black Flood Dragon. It nourishes the body and can improve one's constitution with prolonged consumption.
"Holy. Fucking. Shit!"
Gu Cheng stared at the information before him in utter disbelief.
He could have racked his brains forever and never imagined that this little bastard's meat was a supernatural treasure too!
And not just any supernatural treasure.
It was one that could improve his constitution!
Gu Cheng had developed a preliminary ranking for supernatural treasures.
Originally, he had ranked the Visualization Bamboo Slip as the most valuable.
It contained a cultivation manual, making it a priceless treasure.
Next came supernatural treasures with miraculous effects, such as the Child-Giving Guanyin and the Bodhisattva Spirit.
Under certain circumstances, they could change a person's fate.
Last came extraordinary weapons such as the Little Divine Edge and the Mountain-Splitting Axe, which he considered the least valuable.
Then he had obtained the Golden Cup Longevity Fruit.
After that, he had decided the Golden Cup Longevity Fruit was even more valuable than the Visualization Bamboo Slip.
Because the Golden Cup Longevity Fruit could directly improve his physical attributes.
Little effort, quick results, huge returns.
The most formidable weapon would always be his own body.
That was why what he wanted most now were miraculous medicines and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
He had never expected it.
The heavenly materials and earthly treasures he had been longing for were right before his eyes.
"Wait, that isn't right!"
"I stared at this little bastard for ages earlier, but no information appeared."
"Does it only show up once a spirit-attuned beast is dead?"
He rubbed his chin.
Then he examined the Black Flood Dragon's other body parts.
He even took out the Little Divine Edge, sliced open its belly, and dug out its heart and lungs.
In the end...
He discovered that this spirit-attuned beast was a treasure trove from head to tail.
Black flood dragon blood was a potent tonic of pure, powerful yang energy that enhanced virility and strengthened the kidneys.
Black Flood Dragon Meat could nourish the body and improve one's constitution when eaten.
Black flood dragon hide and black flood dragon bone were both superb materials, though he would have to work out their specific uses himself.
There were also the Black Flood Dragon Heart and the Black Flood Dragon Core.
[Item name]: Black Flood Dragon Heart [Item grade]: second-rank spirit material [Item ability]: Extends lifespan [Item description]: The heart of a spirit-attuned Demon Beast, the core of its life. Eating it can extend one's lifespan by 10–50 years, depending on individual constitution.
[Item name]: Black Flood Dragon Core [Item grade]: second-rank spirit material [Item ability]: Increases true essence spiritual energy [Item description]: The power core of a spirit-attuned Demon Beast. Holding it in one's mouth during cultivation can increase true essence and spiritual energy.
While he was cutting open the Black Flood Dragon...
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were drawn over as well.
After finally waiting for Gu Cheng to finish...
Fatty Wang hurriedly asked, "Young Master Gu, what are you doing?!"
By this point, Gu Cheng was drenched in blood.
He had already been splashed with blood while fighting the Black Flood Dragon Meat at close quarters.
Once that blood had dried...
He had gone and covered himself in blood all over again.
Anyone who saw him would probably have mistaken him for a deranged serial killer and been scared half to death.
Especially when he looked at Fatty Wang and chuckled.
He looked particularly "adorable"...
"This is all good stuff. The sort of good stuff money can't buy."
Gu Cheng looked pained. "Unfortunately, we can't take much of it. We'll have to let the rest rot and go to waste."
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang exchanged a glance.
"Young Master Gu, isn't it just snake meat?"
"When we get back to Yanbei City, I'll treat you to a meal. You can eat as much as you want."
Gu Cheng gave a cold laugh.
"Snake meat? Fatty, you really underestimate me."
"If it were ordinary snake meat, would I be so reluctant to leave it behind?"
"This is a Flood Dragon that hasn't finished evolving. It's lived for at least five hundred years!"
"In a sense, it already qualifies as a spirit-attuned beast. Its blood, flesh, bones, and hide are all extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
"For example, its meat can nourish the body. If you eat it regularly, it can even improve your constitution and make you stronger and healthier."
"And its blood is a potent tonic of pure, powerful yang energy. It enhances virility and strengthens the kidneys. It's a hundred times better than those little blue pills."
"Tell me, aren't these treasures money can't buy?!"
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were already staring blankly, their mouths hanging open.
"Young Master Gu, you're not pulling our legs, are you?"
Fatty Wang swallowed.
He spoke with a dazed expression.
Gu Cheng rolled his eyes, speechless. "Do I look like I'm joking?"
To his surprise, Fatty Wang actually stared at Gu Cheng for a long while.
Then, suddenly...
He let out a roar!
It nearly scared Gu Cheng's heart into stopping.
Fatty Wang's face lit up with wild delight and excitement. "Then why are we still hunting for treasure?!"
"Forget all those weapons, ammunition, and lousy jars!"
"Let's just haul this snake back, skin it, pull out its bones, and sell it by the pound. We'll make a fortune!"
Hu Bayi was also stunned to discover that the Black Flood Dragon's corpse was a treasure trove from head to tail.
But he was much more rational.
He shot Fatty a disdainful look. "How much weight do you think the three of us can carry?"
Fatty Wang froze.
Looking at the Black Flood Dragon again, he saw that it was at least thirty or forty meters long, with a body as thick as a car. It had to weigh several hundred tons.
Never mind the three of them.
Even if another three hundred people came...
They still couldn't carry it away.
Fatty Wang instantly understood the wrenching pain Gu Cheng had felt over the waste.
