Chapter 243: Chapter 242: Elite-level Fierce Beast! (Subscribe Request)

Early the next morning, Chen Fan strapped on his quiver, holding his bow and arrow, preparing to hunt Fierce Beasts.

Just as he opened the door, he saw Xu Jie and the others standing not far away, occasionally glancing in his direction.

When the door opened and Chen Fan walked out dressed like this, they were all taken aback before quickly coming over in a friendly manner.

"Brother Chen, are you heading out?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan smiled slightly.

"Going out so early, Brother Chen, you’re really diligent." As the words dropped, they looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

"Is something the matter?" Chen Fan somewhat guessed.

Immediately, they looked awkward, their eyes finally turning to the only female in their group.

"Why are you all looking at me?"

Tu Yue was speechless inside, but with Chen Fan also looking over, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, Brother Chen, the president said if we brought the materials, you could help us refine top-grade Qi Blood Pills, right?"

"That’s correct. Have you prepared the materials?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Chen. According to your terms, one bottle of top-grade Qi Blood Pills is worth a million, which equals fifty portions of materials. In a rush, we currently have a hundred portions and would like to ask Brother Chen to help us refine two batches today." Xu Jie quickly said.

"Yes, yes, more materials are on the way, around five hundred portions, and we’d appreciate your help afterward."

The others smiled and chimed in, though they felt a pinch deep down.

Five hundred portions of Qi Blood Pill materials!

At two thousand per portion, that’s ten million! Even at a discounted rate from the association, it’s nine million contribution points.

If it weren’t for their numbers, they couldn’t have gathered them.

However!

Many seek the opportunity to spend that kind of money, especially martial artists in small cities.

"Alright."

Chen Fan agreed readily.

They exchanged looks and breathed a sigh of relief.

This was expected, considering it was Chen Fan who proposed this arrangement, so refusal was unlikely.

"Brother Chen, we didn’t know you were hunting. We’ll bring the materials once you return." Gao Shan suggested.

"Yes, yes."

"Brother Chen, please be safe."

"Watch out for the association, especially Qin Ye. They haven’t returned yet, but you might run into them."

Sun Wei didn’t mention Chen Fan’s breakthrough, so they were unaware.

"No need for that."

Chen Fan shook his head and reached into his pocket, pulling out two bottles.

"Is this?"

"Top-grade Qi Blood Pills?"

They exclaimed simultaneously.

"Yes."

Chen Fan smiled slightly. "These two bottles contain top-grade Qi Blood Pills, ten per bottle. You can check them if you’re unsure."

"No, no need. Brother Chen, don’t say that; we trust you."

"Yes, we trust you. Why would Brother Chen deceive us?"

"No need to check, we believe you."

They assured him.

"Alright." Chen Fan smiled and handed the two bottles to Gao Shan, "Brother Gao, I’ll collect the hundred portions when I return."

"Alright, and with the five hundred portions this afternoon, we’ll give them all to you." Gao Shan responded quickly.

"Okay. I’ll be off now." Chen Fan waved and headed for the elevator.

Xu Jie and the others watched Chen Fan descend before turning their gaze to the bottles in Gao Shan’s hand.

"Brother Gao," Xu Jie’s voice trembled, "Should we open and check?"

"Yes, these are top-grade Qi Blood Pills!" Zhao Xuewen swallowed hard.

"Hold off a bit."

Gao Shan smiled wryly, "Don’t forget the president’s share. We can divide them after meeting him."

"Right, I forgot."

"Let’s find the president."

...

"This deal turned out to be better than I expected."

Chen Fan thought as he walked out of the branch office.

A hundred portions of materials were enough to refine a thousand top-grade Qi Blood Pills.

Taking twenty for Xu Jie’s group was quite profitable.

Still, it wasn’t exploiting them.

Because the market price for top-grade Qi Blood Pills was set.

"Once I learn to refine True Qi Pills, I might do this too."

He smiled.

This way, he wouldn’t worry about contribution points.

Materials from hunting Fierce Beasts could be sold to the Awakened Association for higher-tier items.

Exiting the gate, he paused by two camps, focusing on one.

It’s time to deal with Lu Yang from the trading company.

Reverting his gaze, he kept walking.

As his figure disappeared, murmurs arose among the people.

"Him again! Didn’t expect he’d dare go out."

"Hmph, reckless. If not for their president’s timely arrival last time, he’d be dead!"

"Go, let’s tell Brother Lu."

Several figures quickly melted into the crowd.

In the wilderness, Chen Fan trekked alone. After a short distance, he heard wind rushing.

Turning around, he saw a Gale Wolf King.

Its speed quickly closed the distance to five hundred meters.

The next second, it was almost upon Chen Fan.

However, its movements seemed like a slow-motion movie to Chen Fan.

Composedly, he drew his bow and fired. With a burst of sound, the Gale Wolf King fell, blood gushing from a large head wound, staining the ground.

[Killed High-level Fierce Beast, gained 350 experience points]

Seeing the message, Chen Fan shook his head.

When he was an Entry Force Martial Artist, killing high-level beasts to earn hundreds of points gave him exhilarating joy.

Now, he felt nothing, even thinking it too little.

Reaching the fallen Gale Wolf King, he used the alloy battle saber to extract valuable materials, storing them in space items.

Though less valuable as a whole, it was convenient.

Done, he ventured further.

Encountering several High-level Fierce Beasts, he dispatched them effortlessly with arrows.

Collecting materials, Chen Fan wondered why he only found high-level beasts.

Where were the Elite-level Fierce Beasts?

Hoping to find them by chance wasn’t effective.

"Time to use Celestial Response Technique."

Level 1 Celestial Response had a five-kilometer radius, consuming 1000 points of spiritual power per second.

With nearly 200,000 spiritual power, he could maintain it over three minutes.

He was eager to see its effects.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and activated Celestial Response.

points evaporated instantly, his remaining spiritual power rapidly diminishing.

Within moments, his mind was flooded with images from a five-kilometer radius.

A fascinating feeling.

Contrary to expectations, Celestial Response didn’t grant omniscient sight but an intuitive perception of aura.

For instance, three kilometers west, several familiar auras probably belonged to Iron Armor Rhinoceroses.

To the south, a much stronger aura moved quickly towards them.

Suddenly, the familiar auras scattered, heading in different directions, while a strong and weak aura combined, then the weaker one disappeared.

"Check it out."

Chen Fan’s eyes opened, heading west rapidly.

Soon, he saw a three-to-four-meter-long Gray-spotted Snake devouring an Iron Armor Rhinoceros.

As he approached, the snake raised its upper body, hissed in warning.

Responding was an arrow pinning it down, its body convulsing until it ceased moving.

"Despite its troublesome material extraction, it offers hundreds of experience points." Chen Fan smiled.

Much of his joy came from Celestial Response’s effectiveness.

The familiar auras proving his guess right.

Additionally, aura strength indicated combat prowess.

This meant he could detect and evade dangerous enemies.

Activating Celestial Response again, he sensed a high-level threat four kilometers north.

Five kilometers seemed short but workable as he moved while sensing around.

Numerous Middle and High-level Fierce Beasts passed within range.

Several times, he sensed incoming threats proving true.

After three-to-four minutes, his spiritual power halved from 200,000 points, he frowned.

Was he not deep enough or were Elite-level beasts scarce, making them hard to find?

Suddenly, he trembled, looking ahead.

Five kilometers away, two overlapping auras caught his attention.

One familiar, likely a Violent Bear.

The other significantly stronger.

Within seconds, the Violent Bear’s aura vanished.

The strong aura remained still.

"An Elite-level Fierce Beast!"

Chen Fan breathed heavily.

If correct, the Violent Bear was chased by a powerful Elite-level beast, slain swiftly.

"Excellent."

Chen Fan’s eyes narrowed, gripping his battle bow tightly.

Finally found an Elite-level Fierce Beast, not easy indeed.

He moved like lightning, disappearing swiftly.
