Xiao Zhan handed the Gold Coin Card to Su Yun.
"Master Han, this card contains 300,000 gold coins, a token of the Xiao Family's appreciation."
A hint of surprise flashed across Su Yun's face. They had put some thought into it.
Su Yun nodded, took the Gold Coin Card from Xiao Zhan, and stored it in the System Space.
"I won't be polite then."
To him, 300,000 gold coins were not much, but for the Xiao Family, it was a huge sum.
After accepting the Gold Coin Card, Su Yun left the Xiao Family compound.
If everything went as planned, he probably wouldn't appear before the Xiao Family as Han Li for a while.
Just as Su Yun stepped out of the Xiao Family compound, a sultry figure appeared before him.
Ya Fei? What is she doing here?
Su Yun was a bit puzzled.
"Master Han."
Seeing Su Yun approaching, Ya Fei quickly walked up to him.
"Is there something you need?"
Su Yun's expression was calm, showing no emotion.
Given the power of the Mittel Auction House, it wouldn't be difficult to pry information from the two families. He didn't find it strange.
Ya Fei smiled, smoothing her disheveled hair behind her ear and took out a Beast Core from her Storage Ring.
Her red lips parted, forming words.
"Master Han, please take a look."
She then handed the Beast Core to Su Yun.
Su Yun took it, feeling a familiar power within the Beast Core, and raised an eyebrow.
"A second-stage Blue Eagle Beast Core?"
"That's right."
Ya Fei's smile widened. She was still wearing her fiery red dress, exuding a seductive aura.
Her figure was perfectly proportioned, with curves that any woman would envy, making anyone who looked at her feel a bit parched.
The low-cut top allowed Su Yun, who was a bit taller than Ya Fei, to catch a glimpse of her décolletage.
Even in his previous life, having experienced the internet era and seen various beauties on social media, Su Yun had to admit that the woman before him had a致命的吸引力, capable of stirring up a man's most primal desires.
(Note: "致命的吸引力" translates to "fatal attraction" or "deadly allure.")
Su Yun steadied himself and looked at Ya Fei.
"What do you want in return? I won't join your Mittel family."
Ya Fei's face lit up with a charming smile.
This Beast Core was something she had found in Zhang Kaitao's residence.
Yes, Zhang Kaitao's residence.
Just yesterday, her people discovered a thatched hut at the edge of the Beast Mountain Range.
After a thorough search, they confirmed it.
And this Beast Core was found there.
Listening to Ya Fei's explanation, Su Yun was somewhat taken aback.
An unexpected surprise.
He had killed a monster and obtained equipment?
Although Su Yun was surprised inside, he didn't show it on his face, maintaining a calm expression.
Ya Fei quietly observed Su Yun's reaction.
Indeed!
When she obtained the Beast Core yesterday, she had a hunch. Now, seeing Su Yun's reaction, she was even more certain.
Master Han wanted to kill that person not because of a grudge but to obtain the Blue Eagle Beast Core.
Coincidentally, both the Xiao Family and Ya Fei had misinterpreted Su Yun's true intentions, leading them away from the correct answer.
Sometimes, these people were too clever for their own good.
Ya Fei, now more certain, took out a parchment from her Storage Ring, which looked like a map.
With a respectful expression, Ya Fei said to Su Yun, "Master Han, this is the location where the Blue Eagles gather. We found Zhang Kaitao's notes in the hut.
His false eye was pecked out by three second-stage Blue Eagles during an attack."
Ya Fei detailed the contents of the notes.
It turned out that the three monsters that attacked Zhang Kaitao were three Blue Eagles. A few years ago, Zhang Kaitao had accidentally intruded into the Blue Eagles' territory and was surrounded by three of them, losing an eye.
Out of hatred, he drew a map of the place.
His attack on Little Lan was likely because Little Lan was also a member of the Blue Eagle clan.
And the second-stage Blue Eagle Beast Core in Su Yun's hand was obtained from one of the Blue Eagles he killed during the attack.
As for the other two, not all monsters in the Martial Arts Continent have Beast Cores. The higher the level of the monster, the more likely it is to have a Beast Core.
Three second-stage Blue Eagles having one Beast Core was not bad.
Su Yun took the map, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Such a surprising gain.
He had already tested Little Lan's next evolution method.
One third-stage Blue Eagle Beast Core and three second-stage Blue Eagle Beast Cores!
The map had come at just the right time!
Storing the map in the System Space, Su Yun turned his attention to Ya Fei.
"I will be leaving Wu Tan City soon. What do you want in return?"
Ya Fei was startled. Leaving?
She quickly gathered her thoughts, considering how to maximize her benefits.
After some deliberation, Ya Fei spoke.
"Master, I don't need any reward.
I can even mobilize the Mittel Auction House's resources to help you hunt the Blue Eagles.
I only need a favor from you..."
"Huh."
Clever woman.
Su Yun chuckled, his opinion of Ya Fei rising even higher.
It was no wonder this woman could establish herself in Wu Tan City and run the branch without being sidelined, all thanks to her business acumen.
"Alright, I agree. But there's no need for your help in hunting."
Ya Fei was a bit anxious.
Why not let her help? The more effort she put in, the heavier the favor would be!
"Master, although Elder Kuang Tang has left Wu Tan City, our branch still has several Martial Masters. Blue Eagles are flying monsters.
To hunt them, one needs to be at the Martial King level to fly. Otherwise, the more people, the better..."
Ya Fei spoke anxiously, but suddenly stopped, looking up at Su Yun with a mixture of shock and disbelief.
Su Yun smiled at Ya Fei, his eyes filled with a deep meaning.
Fill in the blanks, make everything reasonable, huh.
Ya Fei couldn't hold back, drawing in a sharp breath, contributing to the greenhouse effect in the Martial Arts Continent.
Martial King!
This Master Han, not only a fourth-grade Alchemist, was also at least a Martial King-level expert!
Ya Fei's back was drenched in cold sweat, her red top clinging to her body, making her curves even more prominent.
"Hehe, you're a smart one, knowing what to say and what not to say."
"Ya Fei understands."
Su Yun nodded in satisfaction. He needed to scare her a bit.
Otherwise, if the news got out and Luo Qianchen found out, it would be hard to explain.
After all, at the Alchemist Guild, he had only displayed the strength of a Martial Master.
"In that case, may Master have a smooth journey."
Su Yun nodded and strode away.
