After hearing Mo Xiaobai's words, the room turned silent for a few seconds.
Everyone was in a daze as they looked at Mo Xiaobai.
Dropped from the sky?
And they dropped right in front of him?
Why don't you say that you're god?
Old Gray was a little unhappy as he said, "Xiaobai, I feel unhappy listening to what you just said. If elite magical beasts can really drop from the sky, I will run one round around Pingxi Town naked!"
The other people were looking at Mo Xiaobai in disbelief too.
"…" Mo Xiaobai.
The corners of his lips twitched, and he didn't say anything.
What happened to all these people nowadays?
Why weren't they willing to listen to the truth?
He was deep in thought.
"Is there anything else?"
Old Gray stroked the graystone wolf skin, unwilling to let it go. He looked at Mo Xiaobai in anticipation.
Mo Xiaobai shook his head. "This is it."
Old Gray immediately gave a disappointed expression when he heard this.
He really hoped that Mo Xiaobai could take out more elite grade exceptional ingredients. If it was possible, he wished that Mo Xiaobai could take out some uncommon grade exceptional ingredients too.
That way, he would be able to create uncommon grade items.
First-rank uncommon items. They would be definitely very precious.
He opened his mouth, and said, "Wait for a moment. Let me calculate this."
"Okay."
After that, Old Gray started counting the exceptional ingredients.
Very soon, he finished counting them. "I will give you 100 first-rank crystal remnants for this elite grade graystone wolf skin, 60 crystal remnants for the graystone wolf teeth, and 60 crystal remnants for each graystone eagle claw. As for the normal exceptional ingredients, they will be 235 first-rank crystal remnants. That is a total of 575 crystal remnants. I will round it up for you and give you 580. What do you think?"
Mo Xiaobai nodded. "No problem. I'll take it."
"Deal!"
Old Gray kept the exceptional ingredients, and gave Mo Xiaobai his crystal remnants.
The other people looked at the transaction in envy.
That was 580 first-rank crystal remnants.
It wasn't a small amount.
Mo Xiaobai kept the crystal remnants, and suddenly thought of something.
He opened his mouth, and said, "Oh right, Boss, do you accept items?"
"Items?"
Old Gray was stunned for a moment. He started looking at Mo Xiaobai with a strange look.
The other adventurers, who were staring at him jealously, were shocked for a moment too.
Old Gray opened his mouth, and asked, "What items?"
Mo Xiaobai took out Cheng Peng's longsword and armor, and passed them to Old Gray.
Everyone's pupils constricted when they saw Mo Xiaobai taking out the items.
The weapon and armor weren't his. It was obvious that he took it from someone already dead.
As for how the other person died, it was worth probing.
They had weird looks in their eyes as they continued looking at Mo Xiaobai.
This young man wasn't a normal person.
Old Gray sized up Mo Xiaobai intently. Then, he smiled. "Of course I accept them!"
He raised his hand and took the longsword and armor from Mo Xiaobai. He examined the items, and then said, "300 for the long sword and 200 for the armor."
Mo Xiaobai nodded. "Deal."
Although the price was slightly lower than what he expected, he could still accept it.
After all, this was considered additional income.
After selling Cheng Peng's longsword and armor, Mo Xiaobai left the gray metal weapon shop with his space ring full of crystal remnants.
Then, he entered the pharmacy beside the weapon shop, and sold off the other herbs he collected.
He sold all his herbs for a total of 360 crystal remnants.
Mo Xiaobai roughly calculated his earnings. If he included the crystal remnants Cheng Peng had had, he currently had more crystal remnants than his estimation at the start. He had more than 2,000 crystal remnants now.
It was enough for him to cultivate for a long period of time.
After selling off his gains, Mo Xiaobai called for a taxi and went home.
After he arrived home, Mo Xiaobai saw Mo You and Mu Yuzhu sitting on the sofa in the main hall. They smiled gently when they saw Mo Xiaobai coming back, and asked him to come over.
Mo Xiaobai was planning to show off his gains to his parents happily when he found out that they actually followed him to the hollow realm, and even knew that he hadn't returned to the base at night.
Hence, Mo Xiaobai got lectured the entire morning.
As for Mo Xiaobai's gains, Mu Yuzhu and Mo You saw them personally, so they could only think that it was because Mo Xiaobai was too lucky.
They couldn't see the lines of lights around Mo Xiaobai anyway.
***
For the next few days, Mo Xiaobai had ample resources for cultivation, so he resumed his normal lifestyle.
In the morning, he would wake up and complete his daily cultivation. Then, he would go to school. After school, he would go home directly.
However, in these few days, two more people got murdered by the unknown killer, and their death was brutal too.
The victims were all young children around 10 years old, so everyone was jittery and scared. When Mo Xiaobai went to school, he would always hear his classmates discussing this topic.
The only good news was that these people were all killed when they were alone, or when they were walking through extremely remote areas. It looked like the killer still had some qualms.
This evening, Mo Xiaobai went home directly after school.
After he entered his district, Mo Xiaobai walked past the training grounds.
This training ground was the area where the Force Warriors in his district trained. Of course, only those at the Body Tempering stage and one force point Force Warriors would use this place to train their physique.
Before Mo Xiaobai became a Force Warrior, he always came here to train before dawn broke.
If you wanted to achieve something, you needed to give up a similar amount of perspiration.
Mo Xiaobai glanced at the training ground. He saw a young rabbit-man training there. He couldn't help but feel surprised.
He was slightly astounded as he asked, "Little Ran?"
The young rabbit-man raised his head and looked at Mo Xiaobai when he heard this.
Mo Xiaobai looked at the face that was as squarish as Ning Feng's. The child looked good-natured, and had a crew cut. He had a pair of white rabbit ears on his head just like Ning Feng too.
Ning Ran, Ning Feng's son. He was 12 years old now.
When Ning Ran saw Mo Xiaobai, his eyes lit up, and he smiled in pleasant surprise. "Brother Xiaobai, you came back from school!"
He put down the dumbbells in his hand and ran towards Mo Xiaobai.
Mo Xiaobai smiled and nodded. "That's right."
He looked at Ning Ran, and curiously asked, "Why did you come here today? Does Uncle Ning know that you're here?"
Ning Ran scratched his head and gave a cute smile. "My dad fetched me here. The news about the serial killer is quite big now, so he's worried about me. That's why he asked me to come here after school for this period of time. You know that there's no one at my home…"
Ning Ran's gaze became dim when he spoke about this.
Mo Xiaobai became quiet too.
Mo Xiaobai had heard about his family story before.
Ning Feng got injured when he was young, so it was much harder for him to improve his cultivation as compared to a normal person. Even now, he had been stuck at the peak of two force points for a long time.
Ning Ran's mother was a snobbish person. Not long after giving birth to Ning Ran, she abandoned Ning Feng and Ning Ran because she felt that Ning Feng didn't have a bright future.
Ning Ran had been living with Ning Feng all these years.
Because of Ning Ran, Ning Feng was willing to become the security for this small district. In the beginning, Ning Feng was quite a famous adventurer too. He even worked with Mo You and Mu Yuzhu in the past.
However, being an adventurer was too dangerous. If anything happened to him, what would Ning Ran do?
He was still young.
Mo Xiaobai remained silent for a moment when he saw Ning Ran's dejected look. He lifted his hand and rubbed Ning Ran's head. The crew cut felt a little sharp against his skin.
He smiled as he said, "It looks like you're at Body Tempering. Come, let me teach you."
