Chapter 60: Chapter 56: Wanting to Buy a Demon Body

The Fierce Mountain Bear was dead, a majestic Innate Demonic Beast had been killed like this, its head exploded, brain matter splattered, leaving everyone present in a daze, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

At this moment, the figure of the youth was so striking, attracting the gaze of all present, unable to look away for a long time.

The gaze of everyone was mixed with reverence and complexity. Who exactly was this youth who had successively slain two Innate Demonic Beasts without any harm to himself? He was truly powerful to a terrifying extent that commanded respect.

When had Xiafeng Country ever produced such a stunningly brilliant young Heavenly Pride, at only sixteen or seventeen years of age, even more formidable than elite disciples like Vivian from the Xiafeng Academy’s Heavenly Level Academy? It was unfathomable why his fame hadn’t spread across the world.

Once a peerless Heavenly Pride like this appeared, it would naturally spread across the world with astonishing speed, just like how Ye Chen, at thirteen, had achieved mastery of the Innate Realm, sending shockwaves through multiple major countries. Even the Tiandu Academy in the distant Central Region of the Tiandu Continent had heard of him and sought him out, breaking convention to recruit him.

Yet why had there been no news about this youth?

Actually, it wasn’t strange that they didn’t recognize Ye Chen, for he had left Xiafeng Academy two years ago and had undergone significant changes during his growth period, shedding much of his childishness. Additionally, his awakening in the previous life had altered his temperament from the inside out, making the distinct sign of the Moon Seal barely noticeable unless looked at closely. Thus, even former schoolmates from Xiafeng Academy who had seen Ye Chen before could hardly recognize him now.

However, Ye Chen paid no attention to the reverential gazes of others and just continued doing what he was doing, successively extracting the Innate Demon Pills from the skulls of both the Innate Giant Crocodile and the Fierce Mountain Bear. When those two Innate Demon Pills, each the size of a baby’s fist, were extracted, almost everyone’s gaze couldn’t help but lock onto them, burning with intensity.

Some were even filled with greed.

Innate Demon Pills, only formable by Innate Demonic Beasts, contained powerful and fearsome Innate Energy, immensely pure and more abundant than the free-floating nature’s spiritual energy.

Especially for Innate Strong People, possessing just one Innate Demon Pill and absorbing the contained Innate Energy could greatly accelerate their cultivation speed, a treasure many Innate Strong People coveted in their dreams.

If sold, each pill could definitely fetch upwards of two hundred thousand Gold Coins, a staggering figure that’s not an exaggeration and indeed priceless.

Unfortunately, Innate Demonic Beasts were difficult to hunt, surpassing their human counterparts in speed, strength, and agility, making obtaining an Innate Demon Pill not an easy task.

Now this mysterious youth possessed two Innate Demon Pills; if word got out, it would surely cause a huge sensation, drawing the attention of countless people across the world.

"Innate Demon Pills... and to have two of them, selling them could fetch a astronomical sum."

"It’s really lucky; this guy got two Innate Demon Pills in one go, and that’s hitting the jackpot."

"Exactly, just one Innate Demon Pill can sell for more than two hundred thousand Gold Coins, and they’re priceless."

Whether it was people from Xiafeng Academy or the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps Group, they all looked hungrily at the two Innate Demon Pills in Ye Chen’s hands. These were priceless treasures, whether sold or used for cultivation, they absolutely possessed significant value, irresistible to anyone.

"If I could get one of those Innate Demon Pills..." the leader of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps couldn’t help but heat up as he looked at the two Innate Demon Pills in Ye Chen’s palms, his greed intensifying.

Just then, Ye Chen’s gaze suddenly swept coldly over everyone, instantly like a bucket of icy snow water fiercely poured over their heads, making everyone with ulterior motives feel a bone-chilling cold.

His gaze was detached and ruthless, as if a high and mighty ruler regardinf mere trivial ants, not worth even a glance.

Everyone did not hesitate to believe that if they dared to snatch the Innate Demon Pills from the youth’s hands, he would strike like thunder, killing all who dared, with none spared.

They did not doubt the youth’s capability to do so.

After a long time, when everyone had calmed down, they all broke out in cold sweat, unable to calm down for a long while, their gazes towards the youth filled with even greater reverence.

At that moment, Ye Chen had already collected the two Innate Demon Pills and took out a sharp knife, expertly starting to peel the skin from one of the Fierce Mountain Bears.

At that moment, everyone was silent as the grave; you could hear a pin drop. It was as if they didn’t dare to disturb Ye Chen, fearing that this mysterious youth who could easily slaughter Innate Demonic Beasts might become angry and kill them all by chance, wrong place wrong time.

Suddenly, Vivian stepped forward, her heart thumping, and approached Ye Chen.

"Vivian, don’t get close—"

A group of friends from Xiafeng Academy were all worried, sweating for Vivian because this mysterious youth was not simple and very powerful; they were concerned he might lash out at her.

But Vivian gave them a reassuring look, moved closer to Ye Chen, with a breeze brushing through and her stunning figure outlined perfectly, she parted her red lips, her voice pleasing to the ear, and said, "Young Master, my name is Vivian. Could I earnestly request your help with something in return for a generous reward?"

Ye Chen glanced indifferently at this beautiful girl before him. To tell the truth, she was even more beautiful than Ye Zimei and could compare to Yang Yi, even with a temperament more approachable, gentle like the girl next door, an extremely outstanding beauty who could make countless men fall for her.

Yet his gaze was clear, not at all bewitched by the girl’s beauty, and his words were brief, only uttering one word, "Speak!"

Vivian was slightly taken aback; she considered herself a great beauty, with both her family background and cultivation talent being top-notch, always the center of attention wherever she went, and greatly adored and cherished by countless young men of her generation. However, she found herself rebuffed by this youth, and though she didn’t value these superficial things, she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.

She then gently shook her head, casting aside the distractions in her mind, and said, "Young Master, I hope you could sell one of these two Innate Demonic Beasts to me. I don’t want the Demon Pill, just the body; I am willing to pay a high price for it. Could you agree to this?"

Her eyelashes curved, her clear eyes like a pool of spring water, looking at the youth with hope.

The Academy’s mission for them was merely to enter Demon Beast Mountain Range and hunt down an Innate Demonic Beast; it didn’t specify that it had to be killed by themselves, just needed to be brought back.

Naturally, regarding the Innate Demon Pill, the Academy wouldn’t take it; confirmation of mission success was all that was needed.

"How much?" Ye Chen was direct, without any beating around the bush.

Vivian paused a bit, then said, "Young Master, the price can be negotiable, just propose what you find suitable."

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then raised two fingers.

"Twenty thousand gold coins!" exclaimed Vivian, releasing a sigh of relief, and even a bit of surprise.

Although the body of an Innate Demonic Beast was not as precious as the Innate Demon Pill, it was definitely worth more than twenty thousand gold coins.

Not to even mention whether the meat was fresh enough, merely the reputation of the Innate Demonic Beast alone was enough to make many rich merchants willing to spend a lot of money to taste this terrifying demon beast that had scared countless people.

Others were also surprised, they had expected this mysterious youth to ask for an exorbitant price, but it was only twenty thousand gold coins, which, for these elite disciples on their return to the Academy, could fetch several times this price.

After all, many in the Royal Capital were willing to pay a high price to taste the fresh meat of an Innate Demonic Beast.

"Twenty thousand?"

But Ye Chen shook his head, dismissing their thoughts, and said, "I think you misunderstood, not twenty thousand, two hundred thousand gold coins!"

"Two hundred... thousand!?"

Everyone was flabbergasted!
