49: Red blood tiger of the south of the desert

"Hahahahaha!"

After hearing Junior Brother Han's words, Pan Sheng and Zheng Yuncheng first exchanged glances, then burst into laughter.

Pan Sheng shook his head and explained to Han Yi with a smile, "Junior Brother Han, you are still too young. Since this crimson blood tiger meat is unique to our Crimson Flame Sect, how could it be sold externally?"

"But isn't this Fu Lin Restaurant also selling Crimson Blood Tiger Meat Buns?"

Han Yi asked, confused.

"Junior Brother Han, you may not know, but the only shop that can sell crimson blood tiger meat externally is Fu Lin Restaurant," Pan Sheng picked up a bun, took a bite, and said, "The Manager there is also a poor fellow..."

It turned out that the Manager of Fu Lin Restaurant previously had a son who was an Inner Sect Disciple in the Crimson Flame Sect. During an external mission, to ensure the mission was completed, he suffered severe injuries and was forced to end his Martial Artist career.

However, the Sect understood that he had made a great contribution and allowed him to return home to retire, without stripping him of his Inner Sect Disciple status.

Since the Manager's son's Martial Artist career was over, he discussed it with his father and decided to make it Fu Lin Restaurant's signature dish for external sale.

The Crimson Flame Sect, considering the contributions the Manager's son had made within the Sect, and because Fu Lin Restaurant's Crimson Blood Tiger Meat Buns were only sold to Crimson Flame Sect Disciples,

and Inner Sect Disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect only had a quota of two catties of crimson blood tiger meat per month, the number of buns Fu Lin Restaurant could make was extremely limited, so the higher-ups of the Crimson Flame Sect simply turned a blind eye to the matter.

"Junior Brother Han, two catties of crimson blood tiger meat per month, although not enough for daily consumption, is extremely valuable."

Zheng Yuncheng took over the conversation and continued, "For beast-level demon beast meat like this, if calculated by value, it would cost twenty to thirty taels of silver per catty of raw meat."

One catty of raw meat, over twenty taels of silver!

Han Yi had previously bought a pig leg with skin, weighing about thirty catties, which only cost five big coins in total.

One catty of this crimson blood tiger meat could probably buy two or three good quality live pigs!

When Han Yi was in the guard team, he often performed monster clearing missions with the Ninth Squad, and he had eaten a lot of so-called demon beast meat, such as black-backed wild boars and Gray Stripe Wolf meat.

But Han Yi felt that this demon beast meat, apart from being chewier and slightly more delicious than ordinary livestock meat, had no other effects, and its value was not very high.

This South Wasteland Crimson Blood Tiger is also just a demon beast, although it is a beast-level demon beast, is beast meat that expensive?

Thinking of this, Han Yi spoke up.

"Senior Brother Zheng, may I ask what is the difference between beast-level demon beasts and ordinary demon beasts, and why is their value so high?"

Han Yi quickly poured Zheng Yuncheng a cup of pear blossom wine and asked respectfully.

"Beasts near our An Yan City are basically ordinary wild beast level demon beasts. These demon beasts are weak, and can even be hunted by ordinary people using pits and bows and arrows. They have no special effects, so their value is low."

"However, beast-level demon beasts like the South Wasteland Crimson Blood Tiger are powerful. Ordinary people are definitely not their match. Only dozens of Refining Bone Stage Martial Artists hunting together, or three to five Lianxue Stage quasi-Martial Masters cooperating, can take them down."

"When demon beasts reach the beast level, their flesh and blood are greatly beneficial to our Martial Artist cultivation. Increasing qi and blood is just the most basic effect."

"The most crucial point is that beast meat like the South Wasteland Crimson Blood Tiger of our Crimson Flame Sect and the Peerless Feather Bird of the Qianye Sect are compatible with their respective Sect's cultivation methods. Their own consumption is barely enough, so they will not sell them externally."

"Come, have a drink!"

Zheng Yuncheng had just said a lot and felt a bit dry in his throat.

"Senior Brother Zheng, then which force in our An Yan City has beast meat for long-term external sale?"

Han Yi put down his wine cup and continued to inquire.

Beast meat has such various strange effects, he was tempted. Accumulating Yuan Power is difficult, if he could buy beast meat and eat it every day, strengthening the qi and blood in his body would also be good.

Zheng Yuncheng pondered for a while and said, "Beast-level demon beasts near our An Yan City often need to be found deep within the Black Rock Mountains. Usually, only a few large restaurants in the inner city will provide it, and the price is expensive. I heard people say that the beast meat cooked in restaurants is sold by the tael, and they only accept gold."

"But the main thing is that there is a price but no market, it is rarely available for purchase. As soon as a beast is hunted, it is immediately taken away. It is uncertain when it will be supplied, you have to rely on luck and connections to buy it."

"If you want to purchase beast meat long-term and stably, from what I understand, perhaps only in Xin An Prefecture City will there be a force capable of providing it externally, cheaply, and long-term..."

Da Xuan Dynasty, Ping Province, Xin An Prefecture City!

Han Yi's gaze narrowed.

An Yan City, Shan Xu City, and Xin An Prefecture City all belong to Ping Province.

If explained using Han Yi's previous life's theory, An Yan City and Shan Xu City are only equivalent to a county or district in his previous life, while a Prefecture City is similar to a large city!

Han Yi had also seen relevant information about Xin An Prefecture City in the 'An Yan County Geography Record'.

There are dozens of Prefecture Cities in one Ping Province, and Xin An Prefecture City is just one of the more remote ones.

Xin An Prefecture City is several thousand li away from An Yan City, but it is the closest Prefecture City to An Yan City.

Han Yi estimated that Xin An Prefecture alone was larger than a province in his previous life!

Xin An Prefecture City was not a place Han Yi could go to at the moment. He chuckled bitterly a few times internally and dismissed this idea.

But then he thought, since the Crimson Flame Sect provides this crimson blood tiger meat as a benefit for Inner Sect Disciples, although the quantity is not large, it is distributed stably every month. Naturally, there is a stable population of South Wasteland Crimson Blood Tigers. If there is an opportunity to find their habitat, and he cannot buy it, wouldn't hunting a South Wasteland Crimson Blood Tiger also work?

"Senior Brother Zheng, then where can I find this South Wasteland Crimson Blood Tiger?"

Han Yi still asked unwillingly.

"This, I don't know either," Zheng Yuncheng smiled bitterly, "I was also curious about this matter before and once teamed up with a few friends to investigate it, but after the Elder found out, I was severely reprimanded."

"This matter was thus dropped. I'm afraid only the Sect higher-ups like the Sect Elder and Hall Master know the source of this South Wasteland Crimson Blood Tiger."

"I think, the best way is for you to become an Inner Sect Disciple as soon as possible, diligently complete missions, and exchange for crimson blood tiger meat with your contributions."

Han Yi was silent. This crimson blood tiger meat is helpful for cultivating the Crimson Flame Sect's techniques, so relevant information is naturally heavily guarded by the Sect. He was thinking too simply.

However, it seems that Senior Brother Zheng Yuncheng also had thoughts about crimson blood tiger meat and looked into the channels... Han Yi thought to himself.

Clearly, Senior Brother Zheng Yuncheng was not from a prominent Family either. Thinking about it, if he were from a large Family, wouldn't he have already been cultivating in his Family like Li Feng? Why would he work so hard for a bit of silver by affiliating with other forces.
