Chapter 1063: Make a Big Haul

Deep within Fulong Mountain, by the side of a stream,

Wang Chen built a campfire and hung skewered Xiaojiao meat over it.

The jade-like Xiaojiao meat quickly turned golden and oozed with fat under the scorching flames, emitting an extraordinary aroma.

It was enough to make one’s mouth water!

After the battle against the Xiaojiao, Wang Chen had exchanged all the materials he obtained for Xiaojiao meat, intending to nourish himself with the blood and flesh of this fourth-level beast king to break through the limits of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method.

During this period, Wang Chen ensured that he consumed at least one meal of Xiaojiao meat each day.

The effects of this dietary supplement were remarkable; the experience points for the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method, which had remained stagnant for a long time, began to steadily increase.

However, this deep mountain forest was unlike Luodu Immortal City. When the aroma of grilled Xiaojiao meat spread, flying insects from hundreds of steps around were drawn to it.

But before they could get close, an invisible sword energy struck, killing them instantly.

A thick circle of bodies accumulated around the area!

As Wang Chen removed the fully cooked Xiaojiao meat from the rack, ready to enjoy his feast, a swift Flower Leopard quietly appeared behind him.

This solitary magical beast was quite intelligent; although its prey was right in front of it, it did not attack rashly. Instead, it cautiously adjusted its posture, seeking the perfect moment to strike.

Finally, when Wang Chen began to devour the Xiaojiao meat, the Flower Leopard could no longer restrain itself. It suddenly leaped, opening its bloodthirsty mouth to bite at the back of Wang Chen’s neck.

Its movement was as swift as lightning, filled with unmatched killing intent, and its sharp teeth could easily tear through heavy armor.

However, just as the beast was about to bite Wang Chen, a flying sword, imbued with murderous energy, descended from the sky and precisely pierced its skull.

The Flower Leopard was nailed to the ground!

This second-tier beast, at its peak and close to third-tier strength, died on the spot.

[Virtue +900]

Wang Chen paid no heed to this minor gain, focusing intently on enjoying the Xiaojiao meat. He activated the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method to enhance his stomach’s digestive capacity, ensuring that not a bit of energy would go to waste.

The essence of the fourth-level beast king’s blood and flesh was completely absorbed by Wang Chen, gradually strengthening his physique.

Wang Chen even sensed that as he consumed enough Xiaojiao meat, his physique points would increase!

The nearby Flower Leopard served as a warning to other magical beasts attracted by the scent of the meat, keeping them at bay and forcing them to leave in disappointment.

In reality, this area did not harbor any beasts or demons above the third level; no matter how many came, they were merely meals for Wang Chen.

After finishing ten pounds of Xiaojiao meat and downing two pounds of Monkey Wine, Wang Chen let out a satisfied burp.

The fourth-level Xiaojiao he had helped hunt had a chill property that conflicted with his innate talent. Even with the boost from the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method, digestion was not easy.

But Wang Chen discovered that drinking the Monkey Wine he had "extorted" while eating the meat greatly neutralized the Xiaojiao’s chill, significantly improving his absorption efficiency.

Moreover, this spiritual wine was an excellent tonic, perfectly complementing the Xiaojiao meat!

[Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method · Experience +1]

Half an hour later, Wang Chen leaped up from the ground, his eyes shining like lightning, filled with essence.

He gazed at the distant mountains.

It was time to make a big haul!

In the past half a month, Wang Chen roamed through Fulong Mountain, following the map to locate three groups of Fire-Eyed Long Apes.

He managed to extort over ten thousand pounds of spiritual wine in total.

Although this Monkey Wine was of high quality, its value was still a drop in the ocean compared to what Wang Chen needed. Moreover, the Fire-Eyed Long Apes were not like potatoes that could be easily dug up from the ground.

Wang Chen’s most significant achievement was discovering the marvelous utility of luck through these repeated endeavors.

It was proven that burning Heavenly Merit points to enhance his luck indeed brought him immense fortune!

Previously, Wang Chen had made three attempts, consuming thirty thousand points of Heavenly Merit, each time enhancing himself with one thousand points of luck.

But this time, he decided to burn one hundred thousand Heavenly Merit points at once!

He wanted to see if he could strike it rich with the backing of ten thousand points of luck.

Initially, Wang Chen considered searching for a mineral vein; finding a valuable one would suffice to settle the debt with the Four Seas Trading Association.

However, upon further reflection, he deemed it unwise.

Even if he found a vein, the challenge of excavation and extraction would be significant.

After all, Wang Chen was alone.

Finding a spirit stone mine would be ideal, but other types of ore would not only increase the difficulty of extraction but also complicate the selling process.

Selling thousands or tens of thousands of tons of ore would immediately raise suspicions!

That would be inviting trouble.

After much deliberation, Wang Chen placed his hopes on the caves left behind by ancient practitioners.

Finding an undiscovered cave could yield benefits comparable to, or even greater than, a mineral vein.

It was said that within the vast expanse of Fulong Mountain, numerous caves left by ancient practitioners were hidden. Many had been discovered and excavated, but some remained a mystery to this day.

In Luodu Immortal City, there were countless stories and legends about the caves in Fulong Mountain, blending truth and fiction.

Wang Chen decided to test his luck.

He opened the Cultivation Panel and glanced at his Heavenly Merit points.

Wang Chen’s Heavenly Merit points had not been abundant, but upon returning from the Cangqing realm to the Haotian Realm, he encountered cultivators from the Lu family seeking revenge. Utilizing the power of formations, he killed four Golden Core practitioners in one fell swoop.

Thus, he gained nearly two hundred thousand Heavenly Merit points!

This substantial amount of Heavenly Merit emboldened Wang Chen to spend lavishly to test his luck.

As the saying goes, you can’t catch a wolf without risking the child; if you desire satisfactory returns, you must not be stingy with your investment.

With previous successes fueling his ambition, Wang Chen felt his aspirations grow!

[Heavenly Merit -100000]

One hundred thousand points of Heavenly Merit vanished instantly, and Wang Chen felt an extraordinary lightness, as if he might float away.

This sensation was familiar to him, yet never had it been so intense!

This was the feeling of having ten thousand points of luck!

Without hesitation, he activated his movement techniques and rushed deeper into Fulong Mountain.

The luck enhancement had a time limit, and Wang Chen did not know how long the luck from ten thousand points would last, so he had to seize every moment.

This time, Wang Chen chose an unexplored area not marked on the "Fulong Mountain Map" that Huangfu Yongchun had gifted him.

This spirit tool did not record the entirety of Fulong Mountain but only a portion, leaving large areas unmarked.

This meant unpredictable dangers.

Perhaps that area was the territory of a beast king, and entering could result in being crushed by a single claw!

But with ten thousand points of luck backing him, Wang Chen did not believe he would be that unfortunate.

The greater the storm, the more valuable the fish!
