19 14 Monster Corpses!

Long Chen went back into his hut.

Now that he had taken the 2nd Place in the Heaven's Pride Ranking for the outer court, he will entitled to an additional 15 Low-Tier Crystals every week, along with the 3 Low-Tier Crystals the Sect provided to all the outer court disciples.

This meant that in total, he will be receiving 18 Low-Tier Crystals every week.

To an average household within Wind Cloud City, this was an exorbitant amount.

A single low-tier crystal was sufficient to cultivate many Body Refining Realm cultivators.

Even if it is merely the First Great Realm of cultivation, there could still be labelled as cultivators.

And cultivators had greater say and authority than mortals.

Long Chen deeply sighed.

If not for the System, he will forever remain a mortal, and will always be shamed, humiliated and disdained by cultivators.

He shook his head and regained his focus.

Other than the 18 Low-Tier Crystals he gets every week, he could also hunting for monsters as another source of Crystals.

He would only be receiving the Crystals from the Sect next week, so currently, he was broke.

Then, he remembered the sack of monsters corpses that he had collected during this trip towards the Wailing Ghosts Hill.

He quickly brought it out and opened the bag, and started to count them.

14 Corpses!

Long Chen was quite surprised, as he had not thought that he had actually managed to kill that many Grade 2 Monsters.

They weren't that easy to find nor kill in the first place.

This 14 Monster bodies were equivalent to 14 Low-Tier Crystals, if he had sold them.

As he thought about this, he hurriedly went out of the Sect, and strode towards the Monster Hunting Association.

Smelling the familiar scent of monster blood in the air, Long Chen looked around the building.

At the exquisitely designed walls, a few Grade 4 Monsters were hung up as decorations.

Even when dead, they still gave off an oppressive and majestic feeling.

There was quite a long queue for those selling the monster corpses, and while waiting, some of the Hunters turned to their counterparts around them, boasting and showing off their spoils.

Behind Long Chen stood two burly looking man.

One had a tiger tattoo on his arms, while the other had a tattoo of a falcon his neck.

"Hong Yuan! How was your trip to the depths of the forest?" The tiger tattooed man loudly asked in a low voice.

The falcon tattooed man, who was named as Hong Yuan, growled lowly, "Quite good. We encountered some fierce monsters, but our gang easily took care of them."

"Tsk! How many bodies?" The tiger tattooed man asked with some wonderment in his eyes at the mention of Hong Yuan's gang.

"19 Grade 2 Monsters, and 2 Grade 3 Monsters" Hong Yuan proudly replied with his head raised up, especially emphasizing on the word "Grade 3".

"2 Grade 3 Monsters?" The tiger tattooed man cried out in astonishment.

"Exactly. And this was all without the involvement of our Boss. If not, we will definitely be able to hunt more than this." Hong Yuan nodded his head.

"Oh yeah, our gang is short of a few members lately. I can pull some strings and open a slot for you. Qian Zhen, do you want to join?" Hong Yuan stared at the tiger tattooed man, named Qian Zhen, and seriously asked.

"Really? Haha thanks in advance then, Brother!" Qian Zhen guffawed as he laughed in delight, patting Hong Yuan's shoulders.

Their extremely deep and loud voices naturally travelled towards Long Chen ears, as he spontaneously developed a speck of interest towards the 'gangs' they were talking about.

Moments later, it was his turn on the queue.

He stepped forward towards the counter, and got a glimpse of the counter lady.

It was actually the lady who had attended to him when he had registered.

The lady seemed to recognize Long Chen, as she lightly smiled, "You came to register a few days ago, right? What are you doing here for?"

"I'm here to sell monster corpses." Long Chen directly said.

"Oh? Selling monster corpses?" The lady glanced at Long Chen in surprise.

She had faintly remembered him. Ordinary looks, with a slightly above average aptitude.

However, he also possessed a mysterious elegance and nobility, that she couldn't place her finger on, which caught her slight interest.

Long Chen took out an overflowing bag that looked like it was stretched to the limits, bulging at its sides, and placed it onto the counter.

"There" He pointed towards the bag.

The lady was startled. She snapped back from her daze, as she professionally opened the bag and quickly counted it.

"14…14 Grade 2 Monsters" The lady lifted her gaze from inside the bag, onto Long Chen, her expression in complete astonishment.

She looked like she couldn't even believe what she was seeing.

It was not surprising for her to be this way either. Killing 14 Grade 2 Beasts within a few days, is an impossible task for the average 3rd Qi Refining Realm cultivator,

And within the corpses, were some High Grade 2 Beasts that were comparable to the 7th Qi Refining Realm.

"14 Low-Tier Crystals please." Long Chen lightly reminded.

The lady suppressed the shock within her heart, as she gave Long Chen exactly 14 shining Low-Tier Crystals, then requested, "Please put your hand on this stone to confirm the transaction. "

Long Chen placed his slender hand onto the stone, and it abruptly lit up with a wave of information.

Chen Long, Age 30, 7th Qi Refining Realm.

Long Chen raised his eyebrows when he saw the newly updated Realm next to his name.

Although it wasn't able to accurately determine his bone age, but it could actually sense his current cultivation.

The lady's hand trembled for a moment as he saw this information.

Didn't it mention that his cultivation was only at the 3rd Qi Refining Realm a few days ago?

How did it suddenly become the 7th Qi Refining Realm? Did it suddenly spoil that day?

She wasn't able to think of any reasons, as she attributed the stone machine's change to an occasional error.

At least, this will make hunting down 14 Grade 2 Monsters a bit more believable.

Behind Long Chen, the burly Hong Yuan witnessed the entire scene with his two pair of eyes, as he fiercely swallowed his saliva.

'14 Grade 2 Monsters??? One person alone could kill off 14 Grade 2 Monsters?! If he was able to pull in this kind of powerful person into the gang, won't the leader praise and give him a lot of rewards then?'

Hong Yuan licked his lips, and as he saw Long Chen turning around to leave, he raised his hand and called out to him, "Brother Chen, I'm Hong Yuan, from the Fierce Tigers Gang."

"What do you need?" Long Chen stared at Hong Yuan, with an idea of what he was going to saw next.

"Brother Chen, the moment I looked at you, I instantly knew that you were full of peerless magnificence and might. For such a powerful character like you, I personally feel that you would fit the best into our Fierce Tiger Gang, where you can freely develop your strength!" Hong Yuan first praised Long Chen, acting out an expression of awe.

Then he continued, "Brother Chen, would you consider joining our Fierce Tiger Gang? I can assure you, that there are definitely only benefits, and not downsides!"

Hong Yuan glanced at Long Chen, his eyes full of hope and anticipation.

"I'll consider it." Long Chen slowly nodded after a while.

After all, he was quite interested in the concept of a gang.

It won't do him any harm even if he had joined one.

Hearing Long Chen's words, Hong Yuan face was filled with excitement, as he quickly shoved a small tiger looking token within his hands.

"Brother Chen, you can come to visit us whenever you are free. I hope I can see you there!" Hong Yuan grinned.

Long Chen gave a light smile at this, and then left the Monster Hunting Association.
