I finally went back to the place my house was, after a long time, I finally finished building it. The house was done, but I didn't have a door, no windows, just holes. I didn't really have any furniture either, I don't even have any clothes other than what I'm wearing now, which is ragged.
I should find a way to make some money... I need to buy furniture for my house, I need clothing as well. I can build the door and the windows as a slide open ones...
I sensed something.
hm... What was that? A pack of monsters maybe?! Wait... Can I sell their bodies and earn money with that? ... Damn it! I should've asked Xue before! I sighed... I used my sense of smell to detect where they were, the monsters were all surrounding the house I was building, they weren't that strong.
Well... Might as well as try selling them. I started walking away from my house as to not accidentally destroy it, and lured the monsters away from there, and they began to follow me. After walking far away from the house, I stopped, As their eyes frantically searched the surroundings, I vanished from their sight in an instant. Before they could even process my disappearance, I materialized behind them, launching a swift and relentless attack that left them no chance to react.
The others quickly raised their defenses, their expressions a mix of determination and fear. However, their efforts were futile against my overwhelming strength. With ease, I overpowered them, demonstrating my superiority in combat. As time went on, I meticulously looted their fallen bodies, extracting valuable items such as their fangs and skin. These spoils would fetch a good price when sold.
I headed back to my house, the monsters were similar to wolves so it was really good, because I can keep some of the meat to eat later and sell the rest, while also selling their goods, I had absorbed their energy but it didn't improve any of my stats as they were too weak.
Once I arrived, i had build a small chest inside, I stored some of the meat as for food, then I picked the stuff onto my hands and took them to the city, as soon as i entered the city, people started giving me weird looks as i was carrying so much stuff in my hands. I started looking around to see a place to sell these. I stopped in front of an old man.
"Um... Excuse me, sir. Do you know a place to sell materials like this in my hands?" I asked.
The old man replied "yes, if you keep going forward, and turn right, there should be a big sign saying, The heavenly Pavilion, it's the biggest and in the whole empire, but that's just a small base of the Heavenly pavilion, and not the main one, so I recommend you don't offend anyone there young man."
I listened to him carefully absorbing all the information he has given, "thank you very much sir, I'll keep that in mind, see you around".
I started heading towards the Heavenly pavilion that the old man has told me about.
As soon I entered I felt a big pressure, my eyes went wide as I used almost all of my strength to keep standing while not dropping the materials in my arms. I slowly turned my head around to see a old man with long hair and beard behind me.
Damn it... How strong is he!? I thought to myself as sweat ran down on the side of my face, it seemed that the time had stopped around me but, as he slowly walked past me the pressure went away, I let a sigh out of relief.
I heard some murmurs of people inside the pavilion 'Wow, isn't that the pavilion master of this base? He seems crazy strong... Well, he's probably already in the first stage of half-immortal realm, as for the master of the main pavilion base, I heard he was at the 4th level of the foundation establishment... Isn't that crazy? Only some of the strongest sect masters had reached that level, and not even the emperor can face against the-' the guy next to him suddenly covered his mouth and whispered in his ear 'are you stupid!? Don't go around saying that, or you'll be killed!'
Hm... I see. No wonder I was at such a pressure. He was right behind me too... Let's hope not to offend him. I thought to my self as I kept moving ahead inside the pavilion, trying to find somewhere to sell these materials, as I entered the second floor, I saw a man indicating me to come there. I walked past everyone to go to that corner, "um, hello. Can I sell these materials here?" ...
The man replied "yeah, you sure can! I'll give you the best prices for them as long as we make a deal!"
I looked confused, it's my first time meeting him but he's talking to me like we're already friends. "D-deal?"
He replied. "Yup! A deal! All you gotta do is, if you ever come back to sell stuff, you can only sell them to me! Okay? So how about it? In return I'll give you a fair price for everything!"
I thought it was fine as I didn't really know anyone here, so it was a win win situation for me.. "okay, deal... Um, What's your name?"
I asked nervously.
"I'm Lin Xuan, from the Lin family".
I nodded, "nice to meet you, um... So... How much can you give me for these materials then?" I placed them down.
"Would you mind waiting for a minute, so I can examine them."
As I nodded he took them into a small room, I couldn't see what was happening so I just waited there, after some minutes he came out, with a pouch in his hand and handed it to me.
"Thank you" I took it and strapped it next to my waist.
With that I waved my hand saying goodbye before leaving, and turned around to leave.
