Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Steal Yuan Qi
Jing Yi was finally saved. Around three hours after the Witch left, he was finally able to talk.
As for losing his ability, Jing Yi was even more optimistic than Chu Yunsheng expected. Instead of laying on the bed like a living dead, he prefered to live like an ordinary person.
Before the witch left, she and Chu Yunsheng had agreed to leave the city 2 days later. The reason was that they still had not gathered enough petrol.
Although the granary station that she mentioned was on the border between Jiangsu province and Anhui province, which was not far from Jin Ling city, nowadays, in Jin Ling city, petrol was almost as expensive as food.
Chu Yunsheng did not plan to break his promise. The witch was not like others. He wanted to avoid having any conflicts with her as much as possible. Maybe in the future, he still needed her help.
He then informed Duan Danian and asked them to finish the collection one day earlier, because he still needed some time to refine his armour.
For the coming battle, Chu Yunsheng needed to store enough Ben Ti Yuan Qi, because he did not have any absorption talismans right now, so he had to rely on himself to gather all the Yuan Qi.
On the second day, at 15:00, Chu Yunsheng set off early and headed to the green dragon mountain with the little tiger. He had already told Duan Danian where they were going to meet.
“Brother Chu, it’s all here, is it enough for you?” said Duan Danian, who was very exhausted. In the past two days, he and his men were busy collecting the monsters’ bodies, they did not have much time to sleep.
“Thank you for the hard work!” Chu Yunsheng gave Duan Danian two big bags of monster’s meat and said. He then ate the meat in front of Duan Danian to prove that it was editable. One of Lao Duan’s men, Sun Qian, also came from Kun city, so he did not spend much time proving it.
“Originally, we could collect more, but since yesterday, there are more and more people starting to collect the monsters’ bodies. Apparently, GRD’s new search result was leaked. Knowing that the monster’s meat will become a new type of food, many people start to store monsters’ bodies while waiting for more information. Even GCH also a.s.signed troops to collect as many of the monsters’ bodies as they can,” said Duan Danian who couldn’t stop yawning.
“I just need the sh.e.l.ls, in the future, I’ll leave the monster’s meat here, you can come here to take it at any time,” said Chu Yunsheng. He then suddenly had an idea, GCH had more people than Duan Danian. They definitely had more monsters’ bodies. So he asked again, “GCH collected so many bodies, where are they going to keep them?”
“I don’t know, but if you follow the military trucks which they use to load all the bodies, you should be able to find it. This is just a rumour, many parties are simply just collecting the bodies, and they don’t put too much manpower to protect the bodies they collected. f.u.c.k those people from the top, always doing things secretly and not telling us the truth!” Duan Danian did not seem to be happy about GCH blocking the information.
“You may leave now. If I need your help, I’ll find you again.” Chu Yunsheng nodded his head. When he just came out of the city, he indeed saw some military trucks that were loaded with monsters’ bodies pa.s.sing by from time to time. At that time, he just thought that those bodies were for GRD’s research.
Chu Yunsheng stood at the top of a hill and waited for Duan Danian’s group to disappear in the hazy s.h.i.+mmer. He then took out the sword and started to remove the monsters’ sh.e.l.ls.
A total of 53 sh.e.l.ls.
Actually, 20 sh.e.l.ls were already enough to make a tier-one combat armour. The reason why it cost him so many sh.e.l.ls to make an armour before was that when he was still at Yuan Tian stage one, the Yuan Qi inside his body was not Ben Ti Yuan Qi. It was not pure enough, so a lot of sh.e.l.ls were lost during the refining process; secondly, because of the limitation of his cultivation stage, no matter how many sh.e.l.ls he put in, the armour only had a slight improvement.
Chu Yunsheng was planning to go to the storage facilities that GCH used to store monsters’ bodies during the night time. He wanted to see if he could get some more sh.e.l.ls to make a tier-two armour.
The hazy s.h.i.+mmer slowly disappeared in the sky, the little tiger started to become anxious. Chu Yunsheng cautiously looked around his area, within the visible range, there weren’t any monsters. It would be hard to tell, if the sky went completely dark.
After finis.h.i.+ng everything, Chu Yunsheng quickly ran back to the city. He and the little tiger both were running very fast. If someone saw them, without knowing what was going on, they could easily mistake them as Chu Yunsheng was being chased by a tiger.
With the help of the Rank-two badge, it was very easy for Chu Yunsheng to go through the checkpoint. The checkpoint was still very crowded. Chu Yunsheng believed that there were probably even more people still on their way to Jin Ling.
—————————————————————–
Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the roof of a three-storey high building behind the second line of defence. He has been waiting for the military truck to pa.s.s by for quite a while now, but he still hasn’t seen any truck pa.s.sing by.
Maybe because it was the evening, there weren’t many trucks. He thought.
He then waited for a few more minutes, and eventually, he saw a truck slowly coming towards him.
The truck was clearly overloaded with monsters’ bodies. Perhaps it was the last truck in the evening, that was why it was overloaded.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to lose this opportunity. He immediately followed the truck with the little tiger.
He gained a lot of experiences from following Du Qishan’s troops, so following this truck was as easy as a piece of cake.
The place where troops kept the monster’s bodies was an abandoned factory. There were not many guards. Only a few soldiers holding guns, standing at the main entrance. There weren’t any security systems around fences to detect the intruders. It seemed like GRD was probably not sure that if they could produce the poisonless meat.
The bodies were kept inside the factory’s plant, the door to the plant was locked, but luckily there were windows that Chu Yunsheng could easily climb over.
When Chu Yunsheng got inside, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to bring in the little tiger.
However, he didn’t expect that the little tiger was even more agile than him, it was closely following him to climb over the window without making any sounds.
The little tiger was on the lookout as usual, and Chu Yunsheng did the meat and sh.e.l.l separation job. One man and one tiger were working together in silence.
When Chu Yunsheng switched on the flashlight, he was stunned. In the long and huge factory plant, piles after piles of monster’s bodies were stacked up on the ground. There were so many bodies that there was no way Chu Yunsheng was able to count it.
All of those bodies were the same as the bodies he collected at the Green Dragon Mountain, many of their bodies were blasted into pieces by the military’s weapons.
Suddenly, Chu Yunsheng had an idea. With this amount of monster’s bodies, there must be some monsters that had just been killed by the military. It meant that some of those bodies must have contained some Yuan Qi. Even if just a little bit existed in them, with this amount of bodies, he would definitely be able to gather a lot of Yuan Qi.
Chu Yunsheng immediately took out an absorption talisman and started to absorb Yuan Qi from one pile of bodies to another pile.
Surprisingly, he filled up an absorption talisman in less than half an hour!
Chu Yunsheng was thrilled. For a long time, he had been struggling to keep enough absorption talismans. Because of that, he was not able to make more powerful offensive talismans.
Before he came to this factory, he didn’t even have a single Level-Two absorption talisman.
Looking at so many piles of bodies, Chu Yunsheng was extremely excited. He immediately started to make one more Level-two absorption talisman.
Since he already had one Level-Three absorption talisman that could be repeatedly used, so he did not want to waste time to make another Level-three talisman.
Level-two talisman was difficult to make when he was at Yuan Tian stage one, but it became much easier when he reached stage two. It only consumed him two units of Yuan Qi. A level-three talisman was able to store 18 flame patterns, which meant that it would be able to provide Chu Yunsheng 36 units of Yuan Qi.
To avoid wasting Yuan Qi, Chu Yunsheng used the Yuan Qi from the level-three absorption talisman to support him making level two absorption talismans. He checked every corner of the plant to make sure that he did not leave any Yuan Qi behind. In total, he gathered six full flame-patterned absorption talismans.
One level-two talisman was able to store 6 patterns, which was 12 units of Yuan Qi. Chu Yunsheng calculated that within just this short amount of time, he had gathered 108 units of Yuan Qi in total.
He felt like he had just hit the jackpot. He could not even stop smiling.
When he was at the peak of Yuan Tian stage one, his body could store 15 units of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, after he reached stage two, the number was increased to 30 units. Then, the completion of the first substage of the Rong Yuan body gave him the addition of 15 units. So in total, his body could store 45 units now! It was much more than before.
However, this was just the number of Yuan Qi he could store, the real difference was the type of Yuan Qi he was storing inside his body right now.
After he checked that there was not any Yuan Qi left, he started to separate the sh.e.l.l. He gave up the idea of storing as many sh.e.l.ls as possible, in order to avoid being noticed by the military. Because he still wanted to come back here regularly to steal Yuan Qi in the future.
Many sh.e.l.ls were broken, some of them were already separated and scattered around on the ground. So in total, Chu Yunsheng took away around 100 sh.e.l.ls. He decided to stop it because he thought that if he took more, the military would definitely be able to notice the difference. Also, he has been staying here for quite a while, it was almost 23:00 now.
Chu Yunsheng and the little tiger both went back to the western district fully loaded. When the little tiger was on the lookout, it also stole a lot of monster’s meat. Just looking at its round tummy, Chu Yunsheng knew how much food it had been eating.
When he finally got home, it was already past 0:00, his auntie still had not slept yet. Perhaps she was worried about Chu Yunsheng.
“Welcome back!” Chu Han was yawning, “thank G.o.d you are back, I am relieved, I left the meal for you.”
Chu Yunsheng felt sorry. Before he left, he told them that he would come back for the dinner, but he did not expect it would take this long.
“Oh right, Commissioner Lu came by this afternoon, he helped Jing Tian to find a job in the district. It is a formal employee, working under the GCH. I have not replied to him yet, what do you think? Jing Tian was very happy about it,” said Chu Han when she was about to go to her room. Maybe because she was too tired, she almost forgot about it.
“I think it’s quite good for her, it’s better than staying at home.” Chu Yunsheng nodded his head. Although the government department in the district was the gra.s.sroots department, at least, it was a formal job. It could provide some form of protection. After all, no one would dare to harm the GCH’s staff.
Since he decided to give his auntie’s family a better life, he should help them to get used to this world as soon as possible.
After his auntie went to the bed, Chu Yunsheng still could not hold back his excitement. He wanted to make a tier-two armour. He had never made this level of armour before.
‘Maybe I could add some golden sh.e.l.l in there, will the colour change to golden colour?’ Chu Yunsheng thought.
