After he finished the fight, the first thing done, again, was to sleep for five hours.
Truth be told, Lucien loved sleeping most.
It was one of his favorite activities and even hobbies.
After a good sleep, he inspected those bodies to see if they were carrying something valuable. He started with those mercenaries, but they didn't have anything useful at all. Compared to them, agents of Vasuki at least had their katanas which could be used to combat ghouls.
Lucien kept those katanas, as those swords seemed made from some special metal or maybe some unique technique.
They looked like any other katanas, but they could injure and kill ghouls; it was common knowledge said that normal weapons couldn't even injure ghouls.
To Lucien, the swords of the Washuu Clan were always a bit mysterious, but originally they didn't originate from Washuu Clan.
They were products of the Noble House of the East, Shi Xue Clan.
Lastly, Lucien searched those five middle-aged men. However, besides some jewelry like signet rings or some necklaces, they also didn't carry anything.
Seeing this, Lucien almost went mad because he didn't obtain some loot.
"Why the hell can't I have some loot from them?! Besides swords, they weren't carrying anything useful."
Screamed Lucien to the air as he kicked one of the corpses. After several minutes he calmed down and started some tasks.

Then Lucien started extracting the Blood-Essence from the bodies of sixty-five ghouls with the Blood-Essence Extractor; he was eager to raise his RC Level by a great amount again.
He knew that he was probably behind when compared with Ghouls on the Blood Island as they were a probably endless supply of Blood-Essences extracted from demons.
When he was finished with the entire process of extracting, he started to eat them like candies. Of course, he again did the verified method, eating one Blood-Essences extracted from ghouls together with one Blood-Essences extracted from demons.
He felt and even saw his Red Children Cells eager to reproduce and how they were multiplying at a terrifying speed.
Soon he was reaching the end of the journey as he was out of blood essences, and the process of multiplying Red Children Cells was already slowing down until it stopped completely.
Lucien now felt that he could contest with Eto in her Owl form when it came to pure physical strength. This was a rather scary thought as Eto in her Owl form had extremely terrifying physical strength.
He achieved the RC Level of 57,564, soon to be reaching the threshold of 75,000, and that meant evolution to the 4th Star.

Lucien inspected changes on his record, and the only notable things were two. The increase of his RC Level to 57,564.
He opened a bottle of good blood wine to celebrate his today's loot and advancement in the RC Level.
After drinking the whole bottle, he wore his battle attire and returned to the Kunlun Mountains to continue the journey to the Ancestral Site of the Shi Xue Clan. The weather was good out there, and he could proceed some distance these days.
He knew that his target location was still far away, but he wasn't in much hurry, letting the Washuu Clan do the dirty work of excavation, and he would just reap the rewards.
