38: Section 38

However, his build appeared slightly thin.

He was about 1.7 meters tall and paced over to stand right in front of Lin Yi.

First, he looked up at him, then turned his gaze to the corpse of the snake Yao Beast on the ground.

The next moment, he extended his hand.

With lightning speed, he clawed toward the abdomen of the snake Yao Beast.

'Puchi' sounded.

His hand was like a steel claw, easily tearing open the snake Yao Beast's body.

After rummaging inside for a moment.

When he withdrew his hand, there was unexpectedly a dull blue bead in it.

"This is..."

Lin Yi was incredibly shocked.

Did this snake Yao Beast actually have a kidney stone?

The blue bead was an irregular stone, looking somewhat round.

However, the bead had edges and corners; rather than calling it a bead, it was more appropriate to call it a stone.

"This thing is called a Yao Core. Do you see the blue liquid inside?"

The Masked Man said with a light laugh.

Lin Yi looked closely and indeed, inside this stone, there seemed to be blue liquid slowly flowing.

Lin Yi nodded in surprise: "I see it!"

"This thing is called Source Qi, which is what we often refer to as Qi and blood!"

"Use this thing as Materials, find a pharmacist to refine it into Qi and blood pills, and the effect will be much stronger than what is circulating on the market. Even if you just sell this thing, you can make some money!"

"Such a good thing, and you said you didn't want it? Wouldn't you say that's a waste of heaven's gifts?"

After the Masked Man finished speaking.

Lin Yi felt so regretful.

He hadn't expected that this Yao Beast would have a Yao Core. If so, wouldn't he have missed out on many good things from the Dog Demon and cat Yao Beasts he had killed before?

Just as a flash of regret passed through Lin Yi's eyes.

Suddenly, he saw the nearby snake Yao Beast corpse.

It was like a deflated ball, shriveling up in an instant.

Only a piece of clothing remained there. The Masked Man bent down and picked up the clothes.

After shaking it a few times, a green snake, over a meter long and as thick as an adult man's wrist, fell out.

The Masked Man picked up the green snake's corpse and said with a smile: "The reason Yao are Yao is that their Cultivate cycle is longer and much harder than ours!"

"Even for a Yao with good talent, it takes at least a hundred years to Cultivate into a form!"

"Such a hundred-year-old spicy stick, if you find a chef with a higher Realm to process it a bit, not only does it taste good, but it can also boost Qi and blood..."

"A single Yao Beast has so many treasures on it, and you said you'd just throw it away? Wouldn't you say you're wasteful?"

Lin Yi: "..."

"Are these worth a lot of money?"

Lin Yi asked.

Right now, what he lacked most was money.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked coming out to hunt Yao Beasts.

Although he had only encountered low-rank Yao Beasts so far.

If you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet?

No one could guarantee if or when they might run into a Great Yao.

Not to mention how high the Realm was; even if it were just a 2-star Yao Beast, Lin Yi would only have the option to run away.

The Masked Man glanced at Lin Yi.

"Not everything is valuable. Like this Tier 4 snake Yao Beast, the things on its body are quite ordinary; there's nothing particularly valuable about it!"

"This Yao Core contains Tier 4 Source Qi. If you take it to the black market, the price is around five thousand yuan!"

"Only Yao Cores above 1-star can reach over ten thousand!"

"And this spicy stick, if you don't plan to process it and just take it to the black market to sell, it's worth about two or three thousand yuan..."

Hearing the Masked Man say this.

A gleam flickered in Lin Yi's eyes.

Although a Tier 4 snake Yao Beast didn't have many valuable things on its body.

It was still worth nearly ten thousand yuan.

For Lin Yi right now, the registration fee was the top priority.

Besides that, what didn't require money, like renting a house or daily living?

Originally, Lin Yi had been thinking about earning enough money after a while and then finding a place to move out.

He wanted to stay away from that home and quietly lay low for three months.

Once the Martial Arts Exam ended, if he could get admitted to the Martial Arts University, he would just quietly leave on his own.

But what happened tonight.

Really disgusted Lin Yi. Lin Dazhi actually wanted him to go escort a vehicle to make money, completely disregarding his life or death?

This accelerated Lin Yi's desire to move out.

If he could rely on Monster Hunting, even if he could only sell things for a few thousand yuan, it would be enough for him to rent a house.

Seeing Lin Yi's eyes flickering, the Masked Man looked at him with a smile.

"You said you'd throw it away just like that; wouldn't you say you're wasteful? Come, take these. From now on, whenever you kill a Yao Beast, no matter what its Realm is, you can take it to the black market to sell for money!"

"Even if you only sell it for a few thousand, it's money you earned yourself, right?"

The Masked Man returned the Yao Core he had just taken from the snake Yao Beast's body, as well as the spicy stick, to Lin Yi.

"May I ask... how do I get to the black market?"

Hearing this, the Masked Man, who was about to leave, turned his head and looked at Lin Yi with some astonishment.

After a long while, he said: "Brother, you aren't a newbie, are you? It doesn't look like it; the methods you just used to kill the Yao looked quite sharp. How can you not even know this?"

"Have you joined a team?"

"Joined a team?"

Lin Yi was slightly stunned and shook his head gently.

Clearly, compared to them, Lin Yi was a complete newcomer.

What did joining a team mean? Where was the black market? He had never been told that Yao Beasts were treasures from head to toe.

Perhaps it wasn't just him; even Wei Nan didn't understand these things.

The Masked Man sighed lightly: "Now I understand why you're so wasteful!"

"Add me as a friend, and I'll pull you into a group!"

"Okay!"

Lin Yi nodded and took out his phone.

After adding the Masked Man as a friend.

He pulled Lin Yi directly into a group called [The Fifth Monster Hunting Team].

Just after entering, Lin Yi clicked to take a look.

He found that there were only 15 people in the group.

The moment Lin Yi entered the group, someone immediately jumped out.

Beiming Ranger: A newcomer has entered? Welcome to The Fifth Monster Hunting Team.

Mystic: Boss, you finally decided to pull someone into the team. Welcome, newcomer.

Blade: Newcomer, change your nickname; it's what we'll call you from now on.

Little Shrimp: Newcomer, come out and say hi, do a self-introduction...

The group suddenly became lively.

Just as Lin Yi was about to greet them in the group.

The Masked Man picked up his phone and started typing.

Senior Student: Everyone, busy yourselves first. The newcomer is by my side; I'll let him greet you later.

After the Masked Man finished speaking.

He put away his phone and led Lin Yi straight out of the alley.

When the two arrived on the main street.

There were very few pedestrians to be seen.
