[Name: Chen Mo.]
[Age: 16.]
[Cultivation Technique: Blood Nourishing Technique (Small Success 20.3/500)]
[Realm: Refining Skin (Ninth Grade).]
[Power: 38.]
[Skills: Demon-breaking Saber Technique (Basic 13650/50000).]
Chen Mo was suddenly startled.
It's known that meat dead for more than half an hour requires a pound to increase one experience point.
But that bear gall directly increased one experience point.
"Could it be the type of meat that's different?"
Chen Mo thought to himself.
But the insects and pork he ate before had no difference.
Noticing Song Tian and Liu Shu's surprised expressions, Chen Mo said calmly, "Such a good thing should be eaten by oneself."
"..."
Song Tian gave a embarrassed smile, thinking to himself that Brother Mo was extravagant. If it were him, he'd definitely exchange it for money to improve his life.
Song Tian was very efficient in his work, and half an hour later, the whole black bear was divided into several parts by position. Though differing in size, weighing them piece by piece would reveal their weights are similar.
This was the skill Song Tian used to support his family.
A butcher does "dirty work" and has a lowly social status, belonging to the lowest class, but it's a position with good profit.
It was Song Tian working for Chen Mo, and dealing with the bear.
If he were slaughtering a pig for someone else, not only would he take the pig head, but the pig's innards would also be his.
As agreed before, Chen Mo gave him five pounds of bear meat, lent him a wooden basin, and poured some bear blood.
After handling things, Song Tian called his son-in-law to clean the yard before he prepared to leave with his goods.
Han Anniang happened to come out of the kitchen: "Uncle Song, the meal's ready, stay for dinner."
"No need, it's probably done at home already." Previously, Song Tian would have accepted, but now in times of disaster, he really couldn't take advantage.
Mostly afraid of Chen Mo.
"Stay for dinner, anyway, I have some things to ask Uncle Song." Chen Mo said.
"Alright then."
Song Tian had no choice but to agree, though he had his son-in-law take the goods back first.
...
[Supplement Meat Consumption Count +0.05, Blood Nourishing Technique Experience +0.05.]
Chen Mo took a bite of bear meat, noticing the system only added 0.05 experience, the same as eating wild boar meat before.
Chen Mo could only attribute it to the uniqueness of bear gall.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and asked Han Anniang to stew the bear heart.
During this process, Chen Mo inquired Song Tian about selling in the county town.
Song Tian, as a butcher, must have his ways in selling meat and pelts.
Song Tian dared not hide from Chen Mo, saying, "For meat, only large households, restaurants, and grain merchants will buy. But large households are out of our reach, grain merchants love to manipulate prices, selling for a good price is up to the restaurants.
And the restaurant in Pingting County with the highest offer is Purple Gold Tower, from where I previously sold the pig head."
"Purple Gold Tower." Chen Mo nodded, then asked, "Uncle Song, what about pelts?"
"They can be sold to cloth shops and trade guilds, though I have little knowledge about that." Song Tian thought Chen Mo wanted to sell bear pelts in the city, and continued, "Brother Mo need not worry, bear pelts are rare wherever they go, no trouble selling."
Chen Mo knew they were rare, but he wasn't familiar with the county town. In Fu Ze Village, his strength was greatest, but not so in the town, so he wanted a reliable buyer.
After all, forced buys and price cuts were common.
Then Chen Mo asked Song Tian about prices, although what Song Tian mentioned were pre-chaotic prices, Chen Mo at least had some understanding.
Actually, Chen Mo asked about other things, such as which people in the county town were best avoided.
But ultimately, Song Tian was just a small person and didn't know much.
During the conversation, Han Anniang set down the stewed bear heart and uncongealed bear blood on the table.
Chen Mo grabbed the bear heart and took a bite.
[Supplement Meat Consumption Count +0.5, Blood Nourishing Technique Experience +0.5.]
After finishing the whole bear heart, a total of three experience points were added.
To know, this bear heart weighs less than a pound.
Chen Mo quickly drank a mouthful of bear blood.
[Supplement Beast Blood Consumption Count +0.1, Blood Nourishing Technique Experience +0.1.]
Chen Mo blinked, a mouthful of bear blood equaled twice that of normal meat consumption.
Moreover, the system showed beast blood, not meat.
True Blood Nourishing Technique!
In that case, wild boar blood should also count.
Chen Mo felt he suffered a loss.
Previously, that wild boar had its gut opened and blood drained away in the mountains.
Boar heart and intestines, not a bit was taken.
After Song Tian left, Chen Mo tried the bear's liver and kidneys.
This time, however, the experience added was the same as ordinary meat.
"Is it only the heart and gall that are more special..."
Chen Mo thought.
Unfortunately, he had no other animal organs for comparison now.
This issue could only be set aside for now.
...
Whether due to drinking bear blood or not,
that night he had a wet dream, and woke up with a nocturnal emission the next day.
This inevitably made him feel ashamed.
He recalled his first emission was in freshman year of high school.
Later taken by his dad to a massage center, and never happened again.
But remembering this body is only sixteen years old, in the adolescent stage.
Emissions are exceedingly normal then.
...
Three days later.
Morning.
[Swing Saber Count +1, Demon-breaking Saber Technique Experience +1.]
In an instant, many insights filled Chen Mo's mind, deeper understanding of the saber technique.
He pulled up the system interface.
[Name: Chen Mo.]
[Age: 16.]
[Cultivation Technique: Blood Nourishing Technique (Small Success 67.5/500)]
[Realm: Refining Skin (Ninth Grade)]
[Power: 38+31.]
[Skills: Demon-breaking Saber Technique (Intermediate 0/200000).]
"Wow, additional power surged by ten points."
Chen Mo took a deep breath, found a thigh-thick log, and tested his strength.
[Swing Saber Count +1, Demon-breaking Saber Technique Experience +1.]
He swung the saber forcefully.
Before the blade touched the log, Chen Mo sensed an invisible force emanating from the blade.
With a "bang," the thigh-thick log was shattered into pieces.
"Whoa, Sword Qi?!"
Chen Mo was stunned.
But followed by excitement.
Then tested the distance this Sword Qi could reach.
Concluded it only reached one zhang.
But Chen Mo was already very satisfied.
This is just the beginner level of Demon-breaking Saber Technique.
Later there's intermediate and advanced levels.
With such development.
Wouldn't it be...
"Gulp." Chen Mo dared not imagine.
Tier Break is indeed Tier Break.
"Now I can enter the city."
Three days ago, Chen Mo had set the plan, to fill up Demon-breaking Saber Technique at the basic level, increase some self-defense strength, then enter the city.
On his first city visit, Chen Mo did not bring bear pelts, only the wild boar hide, for testing the waters.
