Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 719  Seeing is better than hearing?

On the other side of the plaza, workers of the Soaring Feather Trading Company were already following Liugwei Mercenaries through the area where Demonic Beast corpses were dissected for parts, cataloguing and recording the materials harvested before they were prepared for storage and taken away. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The Liugwei Mercenaries, among those who participated in the battle, were the most skilled in obtaining valuable materials from the Demonic Beast carcasses, while ensuring there was no damage and quality did not drop.

Aside from them, the Trading Company also had specialists in this work, since oftentimes mercenaries and rogue cultivators didn't possess dismembering skills and sold whole Demonic Beast carcasses.

"Haha, seriously, Valley Master is too scary… while dispatching them left and right with such speed, the Profound Grade Demonic Beasts have all minimal damage, only a precise fatal wound in the least valuable vital point", a mercenary who personally witnessed Wu Long fight from a distance spoke with a bit of reverence in his voice as he appraised the condition of a 1st-tier Profound Grade Demonic Beast carcass.

"Hah, you only now realize how scary he is? He showed up one day and in less than two years forced the whole Three Continents on their knees! By now, you should be insane to think he was just some normal guy!", the clerk from the trading company who followed the group of mercenaries and recorded the materials chuckled.

He might not have personally witnessed Wu Long fight even once in his life, but just knowing what he achieved was enough for him to see that it was useless to be surprised about such things, since the surprises were not likely to stop anytime soon.

"Honestly, if he was any less impressive, it wouldn't be so natural to accept that he has so many beauties around him", another mercenary nodded, agreeing with the clerk's sentiment.

"That's true. It just somehow feels right, but if he was just some random guy any man would be wondering how in the world did that happen. With Valley Master you don't even feel envious", the clerk slightly laughed as he could see the line of thinking, "Funny how that natural male instinct to compete with others isn't even working toward him, is it because we know we're in different leagues entirely?"

"Which is why we're fortunate that we know. The poor bastards that Valley Master's going to meet in the Boundless Profound World from now on are the ones deserving pity", the mercenary nodded while cutting into the Demonic Beast with a specialized dismembering knife.

"Hahaha! Come to think of it, that's true… after all, our Valley Master doesn't really like to show off, so if someone saw him they really might not think he's anything special… while he's surrounded by such beauties. That's just a recipe for a disaster", the clerk shook his head already seeing that scene playing out in his head.

"Be careful with that one's meat. The instruction is for the 2nd-tier Profound Grade Beasts aside from that poisonous one to have meat extracted in good condition as well, in fact I'm told other materials are secondary for that specific one, since it's meat is of the best quality among these", Sui Feng, one of Sui Luxiao's sons spoke not far from them, as another team was starting to work on a carcass.

The whole process of materials harvesting was supervised by him, ensuring it went smoothly and in organized fashion.

While the three sons had not much to do in the time after leaving the Three Continents behind, this situation was about to change as the Trading Company was about to make its entrance into the market of the Boundless Profound World. So all of them were busy not only cultivating, but also preparing for it.

After all, Sui Luxiao no longer took direct control of the company, so they were going to be responsible for the daily operations. And this meant that they were also the ones who would be shouldering the responsibility for the successes or failures of the business as well.

Of course, while remaining by Wu Long's side, Sui Luxiao still received major reports on the overall status of the trading company, and sometimes gave them advice. And if need be, she would step in to help in difficult situations. But she also made it clear that her help would be limited, and that she would not be returning to full hands-on operation of the trading company. The most she was going to do in normal times, once they resume operating this time in the Boundless Profound World, is sitting in on the important general internal meetings, making rare but periodic inspections to see how things were going with her own eyes, and giving general directions where the company should put focus in.

"Meat? Haha, I've heard famous restaurants made such requests, I guess the Trading Company's also going to operate a food branch...", the mercenary who was gauging how to cut up the Demonic Beast spoke simply voicing his thoughts, not addressing anyone specifically.

"It's not for business, that's to be stored separately and delivered to the Main Mansion, so take special care with it", Sui Feng simply noted and then turned to speak with subordinates who came up to him asking for orders, since Wu Long also said that the meat from other Demonic Beasts suitable for consumption, could be freely used by the Sect Members for cooking their meals.

"I guess our Valley Master has a refined taste for food as well", the mercenary who asked the question chuckled turning back to the Demonic Beast, but seeing a dazed expression on the face of his colleague to his side, raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"T-This carcass… is drained of blood just exactly right for meat extraction… Are you saying he drained it in the middle of all that chaos? Through one tiny wound?", the one he was talking to replied.

Upon hearing that answer, the mercenary's eyes widened as he re-examined the carcass, and then turned his eyes to the bodies of all six 2nd-tier Demonic Beasts designated to be harvested for meat, and then seeing the one which was pointed out as poisonous with foul meat still bleeding out, the blood being collected by his colleagues as material, exhaled with exasperation, "Hah… damn"

Lian Zhiqiu, Hong Ye, Cao Mei and Cao Xiang returned to the mansion that overlooked the Eternal Duality Valley a day later than the fighting force did, since they not only slept after their cultivation, but also took time to cuddle with Wu Long after waking up, as he pampered them with affection.

And as they arrived, they were greeted by Luo Mingyu and Gong Cui, who had determined expressions, with Fen Baihu standing not far away behind them, an amused expression on her face.

'Heh, right, how would these two who usually are in their respective meditation know when exactly we came', Lian Zhiqiu inwardly chuckled, instantly seeing through the situation, as she could tell from quite some time ago that the Celestial Fox was having fun by watching their interactions.

"We heard from Fen Baihu, since Wu Long can't currently safely enter this Mystic Realm, you stayed out with him. But you're too cruel to leave us out-...", Gong Cui started speaking as soon as the four arrived, but the vigor in her voice quickly died out as she took a closer look at them.

While their skin had that glow of allure that only time spent with Wu Long could give, and they looked undeniably happy, the way they walked was a bit funny, and their expressions were of exhaustion that even sleep did not alleviate.

"... on second thought… I was still busy with my meditation", Luo Mingyu spoke as she turned to walk away.

"Ah~ true! I was just about to go practice with my Zither anyway as well!", Gong Cui spoke in an obviously flustered way, walking in the other direction while badly whistling, the sound resembling simply blowing air instead of an actual whistle.

'Sister Mingyu's reaction aside… how is a Music Dao Cultivator like Sister Cui'er so bad at whistling?', Cao Mei had an awkward smile as she could tell what both of them were thinking right away.

'I told them they would be happy they skipped this time and they didn't believe me... Well, I guess seeing is better than hearing, I guess getting them to come here was worth it, hehehe', Fen Baihu snickered with a satisfied expression, and disappeared from the spot she stood in as well.

"Well, then, I have the work I promised to do with Teacher, and I still need a bit of rest before that, so I guess I'll see you around later", Lian Zhiqiu lightly waved her hand and walked off in the direction of her room.

By the time the mother-daughter pair reacted, Hong Ye's figure was already nowhere to be seen as well, so they looked at each other and wordlessly agreed they too needed some rest before attempting to do anything.

Lately, any news traveled through the mansion quite slowly, since all of the Dao Family members were busy either with their own cultivation, training, or some tasks that benefited Wu Long, and thus they met in small groups that constantly changed members, only then getting to hear what happened outside if the group happened to include someone who knew something new.

So it was not until much later that the news that Wu Long might not be able to return to the mansion for some time spread around.
