Chapter 1511 - 571: The Miraculous Meat
For safety’s sake, Ye Lingyue didn’t go to sell demon beast meat again the next day.
After all, four hundred merit points were already enough for the Huangquan Team’s daily consumption for some time.
On the third day, after confirming that the demon beast meat sold earlier had no issues, Ye Lingyue appeared again at the entrance of Liu Guang Pavilion, wearing a bamboo hat as before.
She chose Liu Guang Pavilion not only to take revenge on Dongfang Liuli but also because it was the easiest place to encounter demon hunters looking to buy elixir pills.
Unfortunately, her luck wasn’t good today; it was drizzling, and there was no one outside Liu Guang Pavilion.
Just as Ye Lingyue was about to change locations to find another target, a dark figure emerged abruptly, grabbing Ye Lingyue’s hand.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue slipped.
The dark figure only felt a blur before their eyes, as if the person originally in front of them had vanished. Then, a pain shot up from their grasp as someone counteracted, twisting their hands like a pretzel.
"Is that you?"
Ye Lingyue looked closely, realizing that the person was none other than the demon hunter she encountered outside Liu Guang Pavilion the day before.
Though only one day had passed, this person remained the same, but their complexion was remarkably different.
Ye Lingyue remembered seeing this man yesterday, with a pale face, yellowish eye circles, speaking weakly like a limp noodle.
Today, however, he seemed much more spirited, exuding vitality.
"Master, you’ve come to sell the demon beast meat again."
Ye Lingyue released their hand, and the person quickly smiled apologetically.
The shift from "Get lost" to "Master" was quite...
"Master, how much demon beast meat do you still have? I’ll buy another ten portions and have four hundred merit points all prepared."
The person impatiently produced a Jiu Provinces Card, afraid Ye Lingyue might change her mind, eagerly exchanging points with one hand and taking the meat with the other.
It turned out this person was also a team leader for the Eight-Tier Team.
Two days ago, after receiving the demon beast meat, he merely intended to give it a try.
But after boiling the demon beast meat, the aroma alone almost made the demon hunter swallow his tongue.
Needless to say, once the meat entered his stomach, he felt his bones loosen up with comfort.
The previous symptoms caused by "Evil Qi Infiltration," rendering him weak and fatigued, vanished entirely.
His complexion was rosy, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to diminish.
Realizing he had acquired a fine product, he understood that this demon beast meat was genuinely good stuff and could enhance one’s physique.
After finishing a piece, he still felt full the next day, and strength coursed through him—a feeling far surpassing that of the Soul-breaking Elixir.
He didn’t confess this to anyone, secretly saving up four hundred merit points, planning to buy ten more portions the next day.
The taste was far superior to the Soul-breaking Elixir, and the price was significantly lower, making it exceedingly worthwhile.
"Here is a Fanghe. If you want to buy more in the future, follow it to find me."
Ye Lingyue cautioned the person, reminding them that since the demon beast meat was sold privately, if they didn’t want to offend Liu Guang Pavilion, they should keep quiet.
The team leader understood perfectly, nodding and leaving with the demon beast meat until his figure was out of sight.
It was a big business selling demon beast meat.
Ye Lingyue glanced at the Jiu Provinces Card bearing an increased point tally, her steps lighter as she headed toward other destinations.
By the end of the day, Ye Lingyue had sold the demon beast meat fivefold, increasing from twenty portions to a hundred.
The merit points on her Jiu Provinces Card soared to over five thousand.
With those points alone, she could upgrade Huangquan Team to Sixth Tier, matching Luo Qianche’s team.
Ye Lingyue didn’t do so.
As all demon beast meat transactions were black market dealings, and no task was accepted, the sudden point surge for Huangquan Team would certainly provoke criticism.
Before determining the ingredients of the Soul-breaking Elixir, Ye Lingyue remained wary of exposing her unique ability to process demon beast meat.
Staring at the numbers on the Jiu Provinces Card, Ye Lingyue’s eyes sparkled as she hummed a tune on her way back, eagerly anticipating the coming days.
That very night, after selling a hundred portions of demon beast meat, in a grand mansion within Qi Yu City.
A man dressed in tight attire walked in.
As soon as he entered, a rich aroma greeted him.
Inside, an Eight Immortals table surrounded by several young demon hunters in their twenties and thirties was laid out.
On the table, a brass pot stood.
The chimney-like brass pot was filled with red-hot charcoal, and steam constantly emerged from the adjacent pot.
Plates of fresh meat, vibrant vegetables, and dishes of condiments were arranged, enough to make one’s mouth water greatly. Such feasts were rare in Qi Yu City.
Nowadays, everyone was scrambling to earn more merit points and buy a few Soul-breaking Elixirs, consumed by their workload.
"Captain, you’re back! Hurry, the deputy captain bought demon beast meat today; it’s superb."
Seeing the man, the group beckoned while devouring it.
"Look at you, eating persistently despite these times. What’s so special about this demon beast meat, anyway?"
Demon beast meat from the Ancient Nine Provinces removed Evil Qi by bleeding and freezing before alchemists processed it, but it tasted terrible.
The man laughed, yet his face showed helplessness, noticing the demon beast meat on the table.
The meat glistened with color, the meridians were plump, and most impressively—it seemed freshly carved.
"Hmm."
The man was surprised, picking up the chopsticks, and sampling a piece; once the mutton entered his stomach, he relished the rich sweetness of flavor. Moreover, a weak yet continuous stream of spiritual power flowed into his organs.
Good stuff!
The man’s eyes sparkled, his previous casual demeanor rapidly changing into urgency.
The chopsticks grabbed piece after piece of demon beast meat, ignoring the vegetables entirely.
"Hey, Captain, stop eating all the meat. Who said they weren’t eating it? Leave some for the rest of us. I only bought three portions of demon beast meat."
The surrounding team members grew anxious, devouring ravenously like wolves, finishing all the meat within less than fifteen minutes.
"Just a bit, hardly enough to fill the gap in my teeth. Deputy Captain, where did this demon beast meat come from? Its ability to dispel Evil Qi far surpasses Liu Guang Pavilion’s methods."
The team leader, not yet satisfied, asked casually.
