In the distance, three people were surrounding a Demon Scorpion.
This was Xu Yi's first time seeing a Demon Scorpion, but given its five-meter body, it was easy to identify as unusual. He could tell right away it was no ordinary creature.
The three cultivators worked in perfect coordination, their movements exceptionally skilled. Xu Yi quickly assessed that all of them were at least at Qi Refining Fourth Layer, and the Demon Scorpion they were attacking was quite strong too, though it was being overwhelmed by the coordinated efforts of the three cultivators.
The battle had reached a critical point, with dust and debris swirling around as they fought fiercely.
However, Xu Yi's target wasn't these cultivators. While the saying "the clam and the snipe fight, and the fisherman benefits" held some truth, the role of the fisherman wasn't as easy as it seemed.
He moved carefully, avoiding the battlefield, and found a large stone to hide behind.
During his three months in the city, Xu Yi didn't just focus on cultivating the Advanced Invisibility Technique and the Giant Spirit Palm. He also took the time to gather information about nearby Demon Beasts.
So, when he saw the battle, Xu Yi immediately realized an opportunity.
Sure enough, after reaching the stone, Xu Yi saw two Lesser Demon Scorpions, each only about a meter long.
Adult Demon Scorpions could grow into First-tier Demon Beasts, which were at least at Qi Refining First Layer. However, the Lesser Demon Scorpions, being immature, were equivalent to martial artists in terms of strength.
Xu Yi quietly approached. With the protection of his Advanced Invisibility Technique and the chaotic battle in the background, the Lesser Demon Scorpions didn't even notice him.
Reaching the stone, Xu Yi drew out his Golden Wolf Claw and swiftly struck twice, smashing the heads of the Lesser Demon Scorpions.
Now at the peak of Qi Refining Second Layer, dealing with Lesser Demon Scorpions, who were at the martial artist level and with the element of surprise, was no challenge at all.
Xu Yi didn't hesitate. He crouched down and swiftly removed their Demon Scorpion Tails.
While there were several valuable parts of the Demon Scorpion, the tail was by far the most precious. Xu Yi's Space Bag wasn't large enough to hold the entire bodies, and carrying them around would attract too much attention.
He glanced back at the ongoing battle. Xu Yi wasn't interested in participating.
System Rewards (Optional):
1.Lesser Demon Scorpion Tail (Low Tier) x200.
2.First-tier Peak Demon Scorpion Tail x2.
Naturally, Xu Yi chose the second option.
In the next moment, the Demon Scorpion Tails in his hands grew thicker and longer, with the tail stinger flashing ominously, making it look all the more dangerous.
Without a second thought, Xu Yi turned and silently left, leaving no trace behind.
After obtaining the two Demon Scorpion Tails, Xu Yi immediately exited the wilderness. He wasn't interested in the ongoing Monk vs. Demon Beast battle; his goal was to gather resources and improve his cultivation.
Most people would have stayed longer in the wilderness, but Xu Yi wasn't interested in fighting at the moment. His priority was to increase his strength.
Back in the city, Xu Yi found a shop run by a middle-aged Monk. Though Xu Yi couldn't see through his cultivation level, it was clear that the Monk was much stronger than him.
From his careful observations, Xu Yi noticed that many people visited the shop frequently, and some were even return customers.
This at least proved two things: first, the prices were fair, and second, the Monk didn't engage in shady dealings for small profits.
Of course, what Xu Yi was selling was just a Lesser Demon Scorpion Tail, a very common item. If he were selling rare treasures, the situation would be entirely different.
"Boss, I'd like to sell this," Xu Yi said, placing the Demon Scorpion Tail on the counter.
The shopkeeper glanced at it, inspected it briefly, and then looked at Xu Yi with surprise. "Oh, young man, not bad. At Qi Refining Second Layer and you can handle a First-tier Peak Demon Beast?"
Xu Yi shrugged nonchalantly. "Not me."
The boss laughed heartily and didn't press the issue. Instead, he asked, "Do you want Spirit Stones or a trade for something else?"
Xu Yi pondered for a moment before responding, "One tail for Spirit Stones, one for a middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill."
Though the low-grade Qi Gathering Pills could be used, they contained too much Pill Poison, which Xu Yi wasn't keen on experiencing again.
"Alright, for a First-tier Peak Demon Scorpion Tail, in such good condition, I'll give you twelve standard Spirit Stones. As for the middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill, I can only give you two." The shopkeeper said with a nod.
"Agreed."
Xu Yi was surprised. This price was even better than he had heard about, which explained the many returning customers.
No wonder the shop was so popular, the boss really knew how to do business.
System Rewards (Optional):
1.Middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill x200.
2.High-grade Qi Gathering Pill x20.
3.Top-grade Qi Gathering Pill x2.
System Rewards (Optional):
1.Low-grade Spirit Stone x1200.
2.Medium-grade Spirit Stone x12.
Xu Yi chuckled when he saw the option for the Medium-grade Spirit Stone. A single Medium-grade Spirit Stone was worth 100 standard Spirit Stones.
He didn't make an immediate choice but took the items back to his rented room.
