Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1555: Chapter 615: Encountering Xi Jiuye Again

The speaker meant nothing by it, but the listener had a purpose.

”Beast meat can be auctioned on the spot?”

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but ask a question.

”Of course, it can. Actually, selling demon beast meat privately is much more valuable than handing it directly to the City Lord’s mansion. However, you must ensure the freshness of the demon beast meat. The best requires it to remain fresh within 24 hours of the hunt. Otherwise, every additional six hours will reduce the value by ten to fifty percent.”

In Qiyu City, demon beast meat carries evil qi and can’t be sold at will.

But it’s different in Senluo Wanxiang City.

Those who reach Senluo Wanxiang City are at least Fifth-Tier representative teams, and many are even Third-Tier teams.

Every large representative team has an Alchemist.

Some Outer Heaven Family teams even have a Fang Venerate, making it effortless to handle the evil qi in demon beast meat.

An example is the Lizard Dragon, a sub-dragon species weighing over a thousand pounds.

A complete hide can sell for thousands of Merit Points, and a pound of meat for dozens more. Combined with the Demon Core, the merit from a single Lizard Dragon far exceeds the more than 80,000 Merit Points Ye Lingyue earned in Qiyu City, doubling in value.

However, due to preservation difficulties, such a large Lizard Dragon being auctioned is rare, even in Senluo Wanxiang City.

At this, Tang Tiansong remembered something.

”Captain Ye, I remembered that the demon beast meat you sold kept its freshness remarkably well.”

”Oh, I have a unique method for preservation.”

Ye Lingyue said this with a smile.

She blamed herself for forgetting; not everyone has a Life Qiankun Bag for their storage.

Ordinary storage bags, no matter how large, will cause demon beast meat to rot after a short period.

”Looks like earning Merit Points in Senluo City is much easier than in Qiyu City.”

Senior Sister Wan Yun remarked from the side.

”Earning Merit might be easy, but spending it is too. The costs here are much higher than in Qiyu City. There may be more demons, but they’re harder to hunt, and private trades aren’t allowed inside Senluo Wanxiang City. Once we’re settled, I’ll take you around... I’ve had the fortune to visit here before.”

Tang Tiansong seemed to recall something, and his eyes flickered, but he didn’t say more.

Senluo Wanxiang City is a crucial point in the Central Plains, and ordinary Demon Hunters can’t enter or exit freely.

It seemed that when Tang Tiansong first came here, he was still a member of the Tang Family.

Since he didn’t wish to elaborate, Ye Lingyue and the others wisely didn’t press further.

Upon hearing that expenses were higher than in Qiyu City, Ye Lingyue and Luo Qianche, the team’s captains, both started to worry.

Each currently leads a Fourth-Tier and Fifth-Tier representative team, with tens of thousands of Merit Points in hand, but this seems insignificant in Senluo Wanxiang City.

After submitting their Transfer Orders, they quickly entered the city.

After registering at the City Lord’s Mansion, they decided to stay in the city for a night.

Senluo Wanxiang City’s tasks are directly ordered—based on the team’s Merit Points, the City Lord’s Mansion issues orders, and the teams then proceed to different core regions of the Central Plains to provide assistance.

Huangquan and Shui City teams had just arrived; many higher-level teams were already in line before them, so they figured they might as well stay in Senluo Wanxiang City for now.

Not long after Ye Lingyue and the others left, a dignified man in a yellow robe emerged.

Following behind him were several martial artists and alchemist-looking individuals.

The man had a square face, a tall and upright stature. Even though he was over sixty, there wasn’t a wrinkle on his face; only his temples were streaked with gray.

”City Lord.”

Upon seeing the man, the secretary at the City Lord’s Mansion respectfully greeted him.

”Is that the Huangquan Team?”

This man was the Wanxiang City Lord of Senluo Wanxiang City.

It was unknown why the City Lord of such a large city would know about the Huangquan Team, a team not yet famous.

”Reporting to the City Lord, yes, they are the Huangquan Team that just came from Qiyu City.”

A secretary presented the transfer order, his expression curious.

The Wanxiang City Lord is busy with countless affairs and usually doesn’t know about a newly promoted Fourth-Tier team, or even the numerous Third-Tier teams in the city, some of which are noble family teams.

”Send someone to closely monitor the Huangquan Team, especially their captain and vice-captain.”

The Wanxiang City Lord ordered, and several City Lord’s Mansion guards took the order and went to monitor them immediately.

At this moment, a female warrior behind the Wanxiang City Lord asked puzzledly.

”City Lord, why are you paying attention to a Fourth-Tier team? Are you planning to involve them in that matter?”

These people behind the Wanxiang City Lord weren’t ordinary; they were guest elders of Wanxiang City, invited for certain reasons to Senluo Wanxiang City.

Among them, some were captains of Third-Tier teams.

They naturally looked down on a newly promoted Fourth-Tier team.

”I haven’t decided yet, but I do have that in mind.”

The Wanxiang City Lord replied with a smile.

”What’s so remarkable about a Fourth-Tier team? Besides, the strongest among them is just a Small Divine Power Realm vice-captain.”

An alchemist behind him grumbled.

”Ladies and gentlemen, so-called strength isn’t always just about cultivation. A team that rose from a Ninth-Tier to a Fourth-Tier in less than half a year must have something extraordinary. What do you think, Brother Xi?”

With a smile, the Wanxiang City Lord turned to look at Xi Jiuye, who stood not far behind him.

Xi Jiuye was also one of the many helpers he invited, but for some reasons, the Wanxiang City Lord clearly valued Xi Jiuye differently than the other guest elders.

”The City Lord has his own judgment; I, as a mere guest elder, would not dare to presume.”

Xi Jiuye replied succinctly.

The Wanxiang City Lord couldn’t help but smile, nodding in approval.

Among all the guest elders, he appreciated Xi Jiuye the most.

Not only because he was the strongest but also because he most understood boundaries and propriety.

Unlike others who, with a bit of skill, dared to boss around in his presence.

The other guest elders, especially the male ones, secretly resented but were wary of Xi Jiuye.

But that was all because they knew Xi Jiuye’s strength far surpassed theirs.

The female guest elders, however, looked at Xi Jiuye with admiration.

Xi Jiuye ignored both the envy and admiration of the onlookers, or rather, he disdained associating with these people at all.

Xi Jiuye was also surprised, never expecting to encounter the Huangquan Team again in Senluo Wanxiang City... and her.
