Chapter 295: Unexpected Gain
The sky was almost entirely bright by the time he returned to the rune society.
Besides Gorlin, no one in the entire rune society knew what he went to do at night. In fact, even Gorlin would never be able to imagine what w.a.n.g Teng had experienced tonight.
w.a.n.g Teng went back to his room and closed the door. He rubbed his hands with an excited expression. He had decided to count his gains.
First, he took out Yao Yu’s s.p.a.ce ring. The spiritual mark on it had disappeared, so he was able to push his spiritual power into the s.p.a.ce ring easily. He scanned all the items inside.
There were some clothes and daily necessities. He didn’t take much notice of these items. He disregarded them and placed his attention on a small bag.
He took it out to study it further.
It was an entire bag of crystal-clear energy stones.
“These are yellow-rank energy stones!”
w.a.n.g Teng took an energy stone and placed it on his palm, feeling the intensity of the Force inside. It was definitely not a yellow-rank low-cla.s.s energy stone.
Based on the standard of measurement he knew, he immediately determined that this was a yellow-rank middle-cla.s.s energy stone.
From what he knew, energy stones could be segregated into four ranks: sky, earth, dark, yellow. Every rank would be further cla.s.sified into low, middle, and high cla.s.ses.
The exchange rate for low-cla.s.s energy stones and middle-cla.s.s energy stones was 100:1. This ratio was the same for high-cla.s.s energy stones and middle-cla.s.s energy stones.
w.a.n.g Teng roughly counted the energy stones. There were more than 200 of them. This was equal to more than 20 thousand low-cla.s.s energy stones.
He’s really wealthy. w.a.n.g Teng happily weighed the stones before keeping them.
Other than this, there was Yao Yu’s long blade.
Before this, w.a.n.g Teng and Li Rongxue had destroyed his corpse, so this long blade naturally became w.a.n.g Teng’s spoil of war.
w.a.n.g Teng scrutinized it in his hand. He was elated. “This is a good blade!”
This long blade was a 5-star soldier-level weapon. It was at least worth a few hundred million. w.a.n.g Teng was already in love with it. He lacked a high-cla.s.s blade weapon, so this would help him fill the blank.
Unfortunately, no blade presence attributes were dropped. It would be perfect if that happened.
w.a.n.g Teng shook his head. He continued searching for treasures in the s.p.a.ce ring. Suddenly, two scrolls attracted his attention.
He took them out and realized that one of them was the Force skill scripture he had received earlier—Geng Gold Scripture!
Since he had already gotten the Geng Gold Scripture attribute bubble, this scroll was useless to him. He threw it back into the s.p.a.ce ring casually.
This was how stubborn a man who could pick up attributes was!
If other people saw this, they would turn green with envy.
w.a.n.g Teng looked at the second scroll. A few huge words entered his vision—Golden Rainbow Blade Skill.
This was a dark-level high-cla.s.s battle technique.
w.a.n.g Teng smiled. This was an unexpected surprise. He flipped through it casually before keeping it. He decided to practice it properly when he had the time.
w.a.n.g Teng continued rifling through the s.p.a.ce ring. He found some healing and cultivation pills. They were worth some money too.
As expected, a man could not be rich without a windfall.
w.a.n.g Teng lamented in his heart. He kept the s.p.a.ce ring and took out the corpse of the c.o.c.ks...o...b..Jade Scale Python.
The next moment, he was stunned.
When the corpse of the giant python lay horizontally in his room, it almost filled up the entire s.p.a.ce.
w.a.n.g Teng could only stand on the ice-cold corpse and squat down. He instilled his Force into the corpse and scanned it inch by inch.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
A few moments later, w.a.n.g Teng took out three items from the corpse.
They were a dark green snake’s gallbladder, a pitch-black round star core, and a s.h.i.+ning black star bone!
w.a.n.g Teng wanted to laugh out loud.
He was so lucky this time!
Three extremely expensive items dropped from this python.
The star core and the star bone were both valuable and rare items.
Also, they belonged to a rare poison-element star beast. This made them even harder to come by.
If he sent them for auction, they could fetch a sky-high price for sure.
However, w.a.n.g Teng felt that it wasn’t a good idea to auction it off. One had to rely on luck to get this treasure, so selling it would be a waste. The best option was to use it himself.
He could forge weapons with the star bone and use the star core for cultivation. They were good items for poison-element martial warriors.
As for the snake’s gallbladder, it was a treasure for an alchemist. This was a hard-to-find ingredient for alchemists who wanted to make special dan medicine.
w.a.n.g Teng took out a jade bottle to store the gallbladder. He carved some runes on the bottle to seal the Force inside properly and ensure the medicinal effects wouldn’t disappear.
He didn’t forget the c.o.c.ks...o...b.. Li Rongxue had taken so much effort to find it, so it must have its uses.
Although it looked a little unorthodox, it might be useful one day.
He used a jade bottle to keep it.
The scales and the meat of the c.o.c.ks...o...b..Jade Scale Python were good stuff too. But, compared to the other treasures, they were lower in value. w.a.n.g Teng didn’t dissect them individually. He kept the entire corpse back in the s.p.a.ce ring.
He heaved a huge sigh before falling asleep happily.
He slept for around ten hours until Su Lingxuan called him for lunch.
“Senior brother, you are so lazy. Why are you sleeping during the day? Master is so biased. He stopped me from waking you up.” Su Lingxuan pouted on the dining table. She was a little jealous.
“Well, you are not as talented as me!” w.a.n.g Teng replied casually while eating his food.
Gorlin knew what w.a.n.g Teng went out to do yesterday night, so he allowed him to sleep until now. But he didn’t explain much. Instead, he laughed and said, “Lingxuan, w.a.n.g Teng has been learning faster than you recently. You need to buck up.”
“Hmph, that’s because I wasn’t serious. I won’t be slower than him if I’m serious.” Su Lingxuan snorted. However, deep down inside, she wasn’t confident in her statement. Who wants to be compared to this monster? She complained silently.
After lunch, w.a.n.g Teng and Su Lingxuan finished the lessons they were supposed to take in the morning. Gorlin then released them so that they could do whatever they wanted.
w.a.n.g Teng planned to go out. At that moment, one of the staff in the rune society told him that someone was looking for him.
“Looking for me?” He came to the lobby of the rune society and saw an unfamiliar pretty young lady.
The pretty young lady sized up w.a.n.g Teng and asked, “Are you w.a.n.g Teng?”
“Yes.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
“I’m the princess’s servant. She asked me to send this to you.” The pretty young lady pa.s.sed a s.p.a.ce ring to w.a.n.g Teng after she finished speaking.
“Indeed!” w.a.n.g Teng had expected this. He nodded and took the ring.
“Our princess says that you’re extremely stingy, and that makes her unhappy. Hence, she wants me to bring back the s.p.a.ce ring after you take the things inside.” The pretty young lady seemed to be trying her best to hold back her laughter as she maintained her serious tone.
w.a.n.g Teng was speechless. He took the item inside and pa.s.sed the s.p.a.ce ring back to the young lady. Then, he said sternly, “Tell your princess that I’ll teach her what stingy really means when I see her again.”
“Pfft!” The pretty young lady wasn’t afraid. Instead, she burst out laughing. She didn’t reply to w.a.n.g Teng. She turned around and left with a mesmerizing back view.
