——(POV third person)——
Raising his hands in surrender, Li Huang spoke.
"Okay, okay. I won't joke about it anymore…" he said. He would also be mad if there was another stage to this boss so he was just trying to lift the mood by joking around.
'If this ape isn't a half hydra or something, I don't think he can do anything about his severed head so we should be safe.' Looking at the dead beast, Li Huang thought.
Ye Ling's sound made him turn to face her.
"Senior brother, how much do these [Law scrolls] worth each?" she asked. She looked interested in this topic as she only know what these scrolls were but didn't know much else about them.
"I don't know it exactly but on average a hundred or so high-grade spirit stones…" Li Huang said. What he didn't know was that this was one of the moments that he was looking exactly like the young master that he is.
True, a hundred high-grade spirit stones are nothing to him but to everybody else, this is a large number and even considered a small fortune.
Cultivators, in general, are wealthier than common people but even to them, this is not a small sum.
To paint a clear picture about this we can compare this sum to something else, an inner disciple of one of the holy lands, like Ye Ling, would get 100 high-grade spirit stones as their monthly salary so you can imagine Ye Ling's shock when she now understood that she has used three months worth of her salary in the span of seconds.
She didn't know what to say, she has been saving money to buy a treasure from an auction house, but if Li Huang were to ask her to pay for those scrolls, she would truly be penniless.
"Senior brother, I…" Ye Ling couldn't form a complete sentence as her thoughts were chaotic at this moment.
Li Huang who didn't know about the world view of Ye Ling and the thoughts that were going on in her mind thought that she was thinking that she used too many scrolls as she used three of them and not the fact that she is thinking about the price of it.
"Nothing is more important than our lives so it's okay, also there are many more of them in the storage ring so this is nothing to worry about…" Li Huang said to calm down Ye Ling but his words only made her look paler.
With trembling hands, she quickly took out the storage ring from her finger and slowly moved to Li Huang.
She was relieved that Li Huang didn't ask her to pay for the scrolls but was terrified when she checked the contents of the storage ring for herself. She didn't count them but let's just say they were piles of these scrolls there.
Li Huang was confused by this development but Hu Anjing was on the verge of bursting into laughter as she found it harder and harder to stop herself from laughing.
"Here is the ring senior brother." She politely tried to hand the storage ring to Li Huang as now she know that this storage ring was worth more than what she can get as her monthly salary for about a century.
Li Huang wasn't going to give it to her as a gift or such, but now was not the time to take the storage ring back..
"Keep it for now junior sister. As me and Hu Anjing are going to go to that formation together you will be the only one controlling our disciples so if anything happens, you would be needing these." Li Huang stopped her and Ye Ling thought a little about it.
The words sounded reasonable to her but she didn't know if she should accept it or not.
At this time, Hu Anjing gave Ye Ling the final push.
"Don't forget that his surname is Li." She nudged Ye Ling and said.
Ye Ling nodded seriously and put the ring back on.
'What does my surname has to do with anything?' Li Huang was simply too rich to know the reference.
As the Li family is one of the most influential families in the divine central continent, their name is also an indicator of their wealth to others so now Ye Ling understood that this storage ring is a small part of Li Huang's wealth.
"Okay, let's meditate to maximize the effect of the pills and recover fast." Li Huang said and Hu Anjing and Ye Ling nodded to his words.
They didn't rest much on the way and they didn't rest after fighting the giant giant apes so the mental fatigue has accumulated all this time.
…
Near an hour passed and luckily there weren't any more beasts that came out so they got back to their best shape with ease.
Now that an hour passed the gargantuan ape's corpse was about to disappear so the group was looking at the corpse.
The moment that the corpse disappeared, the group saw something that was left out from the beast's corpse.
There were 8 spherical gems in size of a table tennis ball.
Seeing this instead of being happy to get a reward for defeating the beast, the trio all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Their complexions were a little pale and you could see that they were shocked by these gems.
Why? Because these 8 gems were the cores that one would form in one's body in the Golden Core realm and this beast had 8 meaning that he was successful in forming 8 of the 12 cores to this level that would manifest physically in the body.
The beast was only one realm behind the sage realm and knowing this just made them know that finishing the beast before it could do anything was the best course of action at that time.
"Now that is a reward that I would appreciate." Li Huang said to break the tension.
"Didn't the beast in the trial suppose to be high-level illusions or something?" Hu Anjing asked while she was frowning. She couldn't understand what this meant.
Ye Ling also had some questions about it that all could be summed up in Hu Anjing's question.
"You are right…" Li Huang was puzzled as well.
"It might be just the reward that has summoned here and we mistook it for this beast's cores or the fact that this beast was a real one and other beasts were created based on it." Li Huang guessed.
The next moment, he walked to the 'gems' and stored them in his storage ring.
"I will sell them and divide the profit between us…" He said.
"They would give you better prices so I'm okay with it." Hu Anjing said. She knew that Li Huang would share the profit so she accepted it without saying anything else.
Ye Ling wanted to say something but a look from Hu Anjing made her stop.
"Thank you, senior brother." She said in the end.
"It's nothing, now let's go to that formation that you talked about…" Li Huang said and looked at Hu Anjing.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
