"Hurry up and clean up. We do not want anything other than the horns, the fur on the neck, the demon crystal, and the demon spirit!" Nie Li quickly ordered. A Horned Sheep's demon crystal and demon spirit are located in the brain area. Demon crystals are thumb-sized crystals and most demon beasts had a demon crystal. As for the demon spirit, only one or two would appear within tens of thousands of Horned Sheep. The shape of the demon spirit is like a candle's flame.
A Horned Sheep with a demon spirit would generally be stronger than the other Horned Sheeps.
Horned Sheeps are relatively low level, only 1-star Bronze rank demon beasts. The materials from them are relatively cheap. A pair of horns could be sold for five demon spirit coins, and the fur on it's neck could be sold for three demon spirit coins. As for the demon crystal, it can be sold for five demon spirit coins.
Counting it this way, even if there is no demon spirit in it, it can still fetch a price of thirteen demon spirit coins.
They only took, at most, five minutes to kill the Horned Sheep. If it only takes this long, wouldn't the three of them get thousands of demon spirit coins in one day?
"Nie Li, I don't want twice the DSC back but can I join you in hunting?" Lu Piao asked, he is very impressed by Nei Li's skill and wants to see if he can learn something.
Du Ze couldn't help feeling excited. His family is very poor and their income would only be two to three thousand demon spirit coins annually. In order to let him enter the Holy Orchid Institute, Du Ze's family had to borrow a lot of money from relatives and friends. Du Ze is the hope of their family! If he learns to hunt horned sheep from Nie Li, he would be able to pay for his own school fees in the future! Du Ze looked in Nie li direction wanting to ask if he could join in too.
"Nie Li, Can I.....? " Du Ze asked hesitating.
Nie Li smiled understanding what Du Ze was thinking and said, "We don't have time to waste, let's go. we will be hunting all night! I can teach you how to hunt for a few days and also give you a vial or two of my venom but you have to offer me a portion of your earning in the future. Do you agree?"
"I agree!" Du Ze immediately answered without hesitation.
"Hey hey at least ask how much he's asking for dude!" Lu Piao complained.
"Without him, I can't even earn anything I am willing to offer 50%, no 60% of my profits." Du Ze said.
"Why are you increasing his share by your own, what kind of negotiation is this?"
"40% is okay, you would be investing your time, efforts as well as initial capital needed to hunt. You must also understand even if I teach you, you can't be as proficient as me immediately. Your earnings wouldn't be as extravagant as you might assume."
"I agree." Du Ze agreed and reluctantly Lu Piao also nodded.
"Let's go then." Nie Li laughed, for him teaching shooting isn't a difficult task although he is using A. I. Chip but even without it, his overall proficiency won't decrease much. And quite frankly, it doesn't really matter if Du Ze and Lu Piao learns something or not, his current hunting is mearly to elevate his current fundless status, Nie Li never had any misconception about becoming rich from hunting mere Horned sheeps.
"Okay!" Du Ze and Lu Piao excitedly replied. Although they have yet to enter 1-star Bronze rank, their bodies are extremely strong. Staying up all night is nothing.
In Nie Li observation so far, Du Ze and Lu Piao both are decent kids. Although Nie Li initially only approached Lu Piao because of his status and approachability but Du Ze also impressed him.
Lu Piao had immediately dismissed the benefits of twice the DSC, even after knowing that he would probably not earn that much by hunting himself, but he choose to make friends rather than chase after benefits.
For the current hunt all the funds would be kept by Nie Li obviously, he could spare a small portion for both of them but his repayment is his goodwill to teach them and also give them his self brewed poison.
The three of them worked closely together and continuously hunted Horned sheep. After killing dozens of them, Lu Piao would transport the materials out to have it sold.
In one night's time, Nie Li's group of three hunted a total of about ninety horned sheep, which was sold for about nine hundred demon spirit coins. Du Ze and Lu Piao were only able to hunt five honed sheep together, a huge difference from Nie Li's record but they were happy to learn. Nie Li also gave them a share of his own earning, although Lu Piao has agreed to not take his money back Nie Li still convinced him to at least accept his initial funds slowly.
For now, this earning have greatly elevated Nie Li financial burden, this amount of money is simply amazing for someone that has yet to enter 1-star Bronze rank. Even for a Bronze rank Fighter, getting twenty to thirty demon spirit coins a day is already considered a lot.
For several consecutive days Nie Li spent time attending lessons during the day, Nie li spending all of the afternoon and evening in library, while at night the three of them would come to the training grounds to kill Horned Sheep. His money has now reached to more than five thousand demon spirit coins after returning back Lu Piao money, which can be considered a huge amount of wealth for him.
The students in the Holy Orchid Institute were all wondering why the amount of Horned Sheep in the training grounds suddenly dropped. In the past, they would just casually walk around and easily find Horned Sheep in groups. However, now one has to look around for a long time in order to find one. Could it be that there are beasts like tigers coming in and hunting these Horned Sheeps? The Holy Orchid Institute even specially dispatched instructors to investigate the cause, but found nothing.
Another evening, Nie Li's group of three was in the dark hunting Horned Sheep. The sky was dark and it was already midnight.
Lu Piao yawned, and looked very tired. Not only Lu Piao, even Du Ze couldn't take it anymore.
These consecutive days of nonstop Horned Sheep hunting caused them to be so tired that they couldn't continue anymore.
"You guys sleep have some rest. We'll pause the hunting." Nie Li said as he looked at his two sleepy companions. He had already accumulated about seven thousand demon spirit coins. There is no need to hunt anymore.
Lu Piao and Du Ze climbed up a towering tree, lied down on a branch and fell asleep immediately. Both of their childish faces were full of exhaustion. Although they both belonged to the premature-type, in the end they're still just two teenagers.
Nie Li sped through the woods. A round moon hung in the sky. The sounds of various insects would be heard from time to time, causing the surrounding area to be increasingly quiet.
There's no large sized demon beast around, so it's extremely safe.
"A.I. Chip! Scan the surroundings!" Nie Li commanded. Everytime he gets a little breather, he use that to discover different herbs and plants in the training grounds.
[Beep! The surrounded area has been scanned! There are one human signature in North-East direction, 70 meters away from host] The A.I. Chip faithfully reported the message.
"Who is still in the training grounds at this time?"
Nie Lie's brows frowned and ran towards that direction. He hid in the woods while looking at the field that's covered in moonlight. Using the moonlight to see, he saw a slender and slim figure standing in the middle of the moonlight. She had shoulder length hair, was wearing a leather jacket, and was exuding a faint blue light.
This is the light of soul force! Although it hadn't step into Bronze rank, it should be entering Bronze rank soon.
Using the light from the soul force, Nie Lie's eyes landed on her face. Her eyes were shut, her long eyelashes slightly trembled, and slender eyebrows. She had flawless, white skin glowing a healthy pink, and rich, delicate lips. She and Ye Ziyun possessed two different kinds of beauty. Ye Ziyun possessed a silent elegance, like a beautiful violet flower. While she was charming, with a seductive and glamorous look, like a rose with thorns.
"Xiao Ning'er," said Nie Li. He doesn't really know anything about her except the fact that she is a high class noble, not Ye Ziyun level but still. The only reason he even remember her name is credited to A. I. Chip.
'Xiao Ning'er is more hard working than I imagined. She is still training her soul force at this time of night. I think that she'll soon enter into Bronze rank.'
Thinking about how Xiao Ning'er was training here in the middle of the night, Nie Li was impressed but this has nothing to do with him so, he decided to leave. Suddenly before walking away he turned around and looked at her changing expression.
