Walking out of the main room, Xun Xie was very happy.

A full stomach.

His whole body seemed to have inexhaustible power.

Just imagine, if he ate the oldest chewing gum grass and quickly digested the flesh of foreign animals to nourish his body, his body would definitely become stronger in a short period of time, provided he was able to withstand it.

"Junior brother, have you succeeded?" Yun Shan greeted him, staring at Xun Xie with a strange glint in his eyes.

"Thanks to Senior Brother's advice, I was lucky enough to practice it." Xun Xie said with a smile, feeling Yun Shan seemed to have a strange gleam in his eyes.

"Congratulations."

Yun Shan's eyes lit up, and he looked up at the hall, feeling a little guilty, he pulled Xun Xie aside and said in a low voice, "I think Mr. Hu told you that after taking the secret medicine, our bodies will suffer greatly. Being Stimulated, extremely hungry, and urgently needing a lot of nourishment, and only eating exotic animal meat will solve it.”

Xun Xie nodded, "He said it."

Yun Shans smiled and said: "Old Hu sells your exotic animal meat, one tael of silver is exchanged for one tael of exotic animal meat, it is thirty taels in a month, it's way too expensive. Junior brother, I have another way here. Get cheaper exotic meat, do you want it?"

Xun Xunsun, "How much cheaper? What is the nourishing effect?"

Yun Shan continued: "One tael of silver can buy one and a half or even two taels of exotic animal meat, and the nourishing effect will naturally not be bad. Thing is, the taste is a little bad, and it's a bit unpalatable. However, for people of our generation who practice martial arts, what kind of suffering have we not experienced? If you have to eat it, do you still care if it tastes bad?"

Xun Xie thought for a while, and said, "Okay, you can get me three taels of exotic animal meat first. I'll try it and see. If the nourishing effect is not bad, I can order it for a long time in the future."

Yun Shan was overjoyed.

Xun Xie walked to the north corner and played with stone locks to train his strength, not wanting to look too eager before leaving. It was actually not necessary but being careful never hurt anyone.

A few minutes later, a senior sister in red came over, with a round face and a tall figure, giving people a valiant feeling similar to Si Luoyan but with a different vibe.

She smiled at Xun Xie and said, "Junior Brother Xun Xie, right? My name is Pang Miao."

Xun Xie quickly put down the stone lock and said politely, "Hello, Senior Sister Pang, is there anything?"

There was no reason to be rude or ignore her, on the other hand, there was reason to be polite: his childish persona, being a fellow disciple, not alarming old Hu, not making enemies stronger than himself, making enemies casually, and so on.

Though he didn’t like to be interrupted and he was trying to find an opportunity to slip away and learn the 5th move while he was still thousand critical xie.

Pang Miao looked around and said in a low voice, "Everyone is from the same family, so they should take care of each other, right? I have a friend who can get exotic animal meat, and one tael of silver can buy two taels of exotic animal meat. Do you want it? Support my sister?"

Xun Xie was speechless for a while, and said, "Then, Senior Sister, help me buy two taels of exotic animal meat to eat and see. If the nourishing effect is good, I will consider ordering it for a long time."

Pang Miao was overjoyed and continued, "I promise that I won't disappoint Junior Brother." She turned around and left.

Xun Xie was suspicious that Old Hu passed on his wool-scouring nature to his students.

It seemed he had been desensitized to money since it was flowing in so easy, his fellow disciples seemed to have their own side hustles.

Not long after, another person came over and also proposed to sell exotic animal meat.

After that, two people came over to get close.

Xun Xie obviously saw the problem at once, it seems is not uncommon to obtain exotic animal meat, many people can get it, and it is blatantly sold, which makes his heart itch.

Xun Xie's mind was very lively, and after a bit of eloquence, in a short time he finally found out that it turned out that there were two sources of animal meat:

First, there are people who specialize in raising exotic animals, usually mild-mannered exotic animals, just like raising pigs, they are fattened and then killed.

However, to raise exotic animals, you need to consume a lot of food. Without a stable source of food, it is impossible to raise them.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Second, in the mountains, forests, and rivers around Blue Grain Town, there are all kinds of exotic beasts inhabiting, and people with great skills can hunt and kill alien beasts.

In addition, "exotic animal meat" does not refer to all the meat of exotic beasts.

On each exotic beast, there is only a part or a few parts of the meat, which has a nourishing effect and can be regarded as exotic beast meat. Only in some supposed rare cases is the entire animal edible.

Xun Xie figured out this and couldn't help but ponder.

First of all, the world outside is full of dangers, he is still very weak, and he will not and cannot hunt and kill exotic beasts.

You can only choose to buy exotic animal meat.

Secondly, he had a lot of chewing gum grass in stock of varying potencies, and he would definitely consume an increasingly large amount of food since he was using it to supplement his growth.

If he only buys exotic animal meat from a certain person, and he buys too much, the other person may become suspicious.

Chewing gum grass might actually be a precious treasure that could incite robbery and murder, so he wanted to avoid any clues that he was using it.

Therefore, it is very necessary for Xie Xie to contact multiple suppliers.

Xun Xie quickly pushed everything to the back of his mind and went to the corner and took out the old animal skin scroll Old Hu had thrown to him. He would prefer to go home but that would take time and he had already wasted enough.

Unfolding the scroll, he immediately had an epiphany!

He didn’t have to stay here and possibly arouse suspicion. He can just go to a restaurant and spend the time…No even just go to the Song Mansion!

Why was he such an idiot!

Xun Xie ran in a hurry to the Song Mansion and locked himself in his room. By his estimate of the 24 hours in the day, he had 10 hours remaining from when he spun the wheel and won the prize.

Unfolding the scroll once again, Xun Xie observed a drawing that looked like a painting. It was hard to tell which it was. It depicted a large white tiger head with a mouthful of ferocious metallic fangs opened wide in a roaring posture, the two eyes were mysterious seemingly bloodthirsty but also very spiritual. However, the feature that stood out the most was the third eye just above the ‘King’ character on its head.

It was like a glittering gem that was real yet also an illusion.

Reading the explanation on the scroll, the Fifth Move was called ‘Tiger Roar Shakes the Heavens and Earth’. The essence was roaring but how to roar? The answer obviously lies in the picture which had stumped martial artists for millennia.

Xun Xie stared at the third eye glowing silver azure and felt somehow it had something to do with the roar. The more he stared at it, the more he felt it was so.

‘What exactly is the key here?'

After 5 hours of staring, he had nothing to gain. Xun Xie was incensed.

This was outrageous! He was thousand critical xie! A quasi-martial sage!

How could he be stumped by a mere picture that others had once comprehended. He refused to believe it!

Xun Xie closed his eyes and rested for an incense of time pondering the picture and then continued staring at it.

…

…

…

“!!!”

Xun Xie was feeling hopeless when he suddenly saw the image squirm.

Is it my illusion?

Suspicious the stress was causing him to see things, he blinked repeatedly but the feeling didn’t go away.

It wasn’t his imagination, the drawing did move! Xun Xie saw the head shaking slightly.

The tiger head suddenly looked straight at him and closed its mouth. Its third eye glaring right into his soul…and then.

ROARRRRR!!!!!!

Xun Xie felt his ears..no his mind suddenly go blank and he froze as if he had become a vegetable then and there.

Sometime after.

“Hahahaha”

“So that’s how it is! That’s how it is!”

He muttered like a madman, with an excited gleam in his eye.

He immediately attempted to perform the 5th move but failed unexpectedly.

‘Huh?’

What sorcery was this? He was thousand critical Xie, how could…

Looking outside the window and hearing the birds tweeting, Xun Xie realized the cheat had expired and it was already the next day.

To confirm his guess.

Xun Xie spun the lottery and met his 50% misfortune. 8 options, 4 prizes, and 4 losses.

Disgruntled he tried to perform the 5th move that was engraved in his mind but failed again and again.

After a while.

‘Sigh. It appears I have to wait until I win Great Clarity and become a quasi martial sage again.’

He could try on his own but the difficulty was too great and it would be time-consuming, time better spent elsewhere so waiting until then was the right choice.

Came to Hu Mansion.

Xun Xie took a wax pill from Old Man Hu and swallowed it. His whole body became hot again. He quickly practiced four moves to refine and absorb the medicinal power.

When the heat subsided like a tidal wave, hunger came as promised.

Xun Xie immediately handed over a tael of silver and bought a tael of exotic animal meat and ate it in his stomach. His hunger was instantly suppressed, and his body was overflowing with indescribable strength.

Taking this opportunity, Xun Xie asked Old Man Hu, what kind of animal meat did he eat?

Unexpectedly, old man Hu smiled mysteriously and said, "I can't tell you the secret."

Xun Xie pouted speechlessly.

Dare you say this is a trade secret?

On this day, Yun Shan, Pang Miao, and others came to Xun Xie to sell.

In Xun Xie's hand, there were six different portions of meat from different animals, with different names.

Turtle and fish meat, blue horn meat, crocodile noodles fish meat...

The six portions of exotic animal meat are all raw meat.

Fortunately, the Song Mansion has an ice cellar.

Xun Xie kept the animal meat in the ice cellar, and it would not spoil for a month.

Another day.

when!

when!

The wheel landed on the cloak but the auxiliary wheel landed on 0. It seems his luck was weak today.

In the evening, Xun Xie left Blue Grain Town and went to the Earth Temple in Yin Village, where he made a fire to cook, and cooked the seven kinds of animal meat separately and tasted them one by one.

Immediately afterward, he ate turtle and fish meat.

"Fuck. It's so unpalatable!"

Xun Xie wanted to scold people. The meat was sour and astringent, making it hard to swallow. Even pigs wouldn't eat it.

"This fellow Yun Shan, actually said that it was only a little unpalatable." Xun Xie felt deceived.

The noodle fish meat was the most delicious and had a reasonable rate cheaper than Old Hu’s per tael of meat so he settled on that as his alternate source. Third place was blue horn meat which was crunch with a unique aftertaste that he decided to occasionally mix in.

The next day.

Song Mansion.

He won Great Clarity unfortunately it was only double critical and despite having the essence already engraved in his mind, he was still struggling to successfully execute it.

Bearing the strange gazes from the maids hearing his dog howls that sounded nothing like a tiger’s at night and during the day, he put on his thick skin and continued without shame not finding a different location.

Day by day...

Almost a month later, Xun Xie was running out of silver coins and decided to sell the wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

He didn't sell it to an outside shop. After inquiring about the price, he approached Old Man Hu and asked for the price.

Although old man Hu is greedy for money, he is reliable and trustworthy.

Xun Xie acted decisively and sold it.
