Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 156: Collecting Medicinal Herbs_1

Watching Feng Yuan deftly collect the Spiritual Medicine and Materials, Captain Chen couldn’t help but exclaim,

"He’s really impressive. When I was his age, I couldn’t even identify, let alone collect these Spiritual Medicine and Materials."

Teacher Yan, with his arms folded across his chest, watched Feng Yuan and said in a low voice,

"You should know, in Xiao Chu’s class he can do whatever he wants as long as it doesn’t disturb the lesson."

"That impressive? I wonder where he’ll be able to get in next year."

"Maybe the Great Xia Academy. After all, he’s closely connected with so many Divine Beasts. Just for that alone, they would be justified in specially recruiting him, not to mention that his Xiao Ji is also quite strong..."

As Teacher Yan spoke, he recalled the Black Giant Bird that appeared after ’Coming of the Future’ and couldn’t help feeling genuinely moved. At that time, Xiao Ji’s imposing manner was even more formidable than that of the Starry Heaven giant, Ah Mu.

"Xiao Ji, take it down."

When he spotted a Thick-furred Wild Boar charging over, Feng Yuan said to Xiao Ji, who excitedly launched an attack on the Thick-furred Wild Boar. It wasn’t long before Xiao Ji took the boar down. Just then, a man rushed out and, after crying and wailing for a while over the boar, said,

"Why did you hit my Ah Tu?"

"If your own Spirit Beast comes at me trying to attack, what do you expect?"

Packing away the harvested Spirit Material, Feng Yuan glanced disdainfully at the man. Seeing Captain Chen approaching, the man hesitated for a moment before shouting loudly,

"Don’t think that just because you have a good relationship with the police you can do whatever you want! If you dare cover for him, I’ll file a complaint against you!"

With a cold face, Captain Chen looked at the man and said in an icy tone,

"Cover for him? I saw the Thick-furred Wild Boar charge straight at him. Don’t you have an explanation for why it did that?"

"Ah Tu got scared! It just happened to charge in his direction! He shouldn’t have attacked my Ah Tu!"

Seeing the man still trying to argue, Feng Yuan pulled out his Sickle and looked at him, saying,

"Could you stop staring at the eggs when lying? Your motive is so obvious. For people who cause trouble..."

"Stop! Don’t kill anyone in front of me!"

Feeling that the situation was not good, Captain Chen immediately stopped Feng Yuan in his tracks. The Hellfire Wolfhound stood in front of Xiao Ji to prevent him from attacking. Feng Yuan looked at the man emotionlessly and said,

"Right now, he’s the one causing me trouble."

The man, terrified by Feng Yuan’s emotionless gaze, stuttered without being able to utter another word. After a while, he returned Ah Tu to the Spirit Beast Space and fled in a panic. Feng Yuan said disdainfully,

"Tch, coward."

He then bent down to pet Xiao Ji on the head, saying,

"Good job, Xiao Ji."

"Jii!"

Xiao Ji happily twirled around, while the Dreaming Dragon Baby turned its eyes and hovered around Feng Yuan, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

After packing up, Feng Yuan and the others left the area. A Poison Mush came out from behind a tree, looking dazedly at Feng Yuan’s retreating figure. After a while, as if remembering something, it quickly dived back into the forest.

"Hehe, what a fruitful day,"

Feng Yuan said contentedly after stuffing Big Cat’s bag with a large amount of Spiritual Medicine and Materials. He gently stroked Big Cat’s fur and said softly,

"You worked hard today."

Seeing Xiao Ji looking at him expectantly, Feng Yuan smiled and tapped Xiao Ji on the head, saying,

"You too, you worked hard."

"And you, as well,"

Delighted to receive Feng Yuan’s praise, the Dreaming Dragon Baby joyfully spun around in the air. Feng Yuan walked up to Teacher Yan and said,

"Thank you for today. If you need any Spiritual Medicine and Materials, feel free to take some. I’m going to sell the rest."

"Aren’t you going to keep some for yourself?"

Teacher Yan looked at Feng Yuan with curiosity. Feng Yuan patted the backpack on his back and said,

"I’ve already kept what I needed in here. Don’t you need anything?"

"Forget it, for all we know, you might need to come out again tomorrow."

"Hehe..."

Feng Yuan scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, noticing the sky was getting dark as Teacher Yan urged,

"Alright, if you’ve collected almost everything, then hurry back. If you return to school earlier, we can rest easy sooner."

"Okay~ Xiao Ji, let’s get going~"

Putting Xiao Ji in his hoodie pocket, Feng Yuan walked happily ahead while Captain Chen sighed, shook his head, and said,

"If he didn’t raise so many Spirit Beasts, he probably wouldn’t need to collect so much Spiritual Medicine and Materials..."

"It seems like he knows what he’s doing. We don’t need to worry about that for him. After things settle down in a while, he won’t have much trouble going out on his own."

"I hope so..."

Remembering everything that had happened over the month, Captain Chen sighed. And that was without knowing about Yognot; otherwise, he could only lament that the troubles seemed never-ending.

"I’m telling you, even if you bring the police over, I won’t raise the price for you!"

Seeing Captain Chen following Feng Yuan into the shop, the clerk said to Feng Yuan with wariness. Feng Yuan replied somewhat helplessly,

"Brother Li, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? He’s just protecting me for some special reasons."

"Protecting you?"

Brother Li looked at Feng Yuan skeptically, only then noticing the golden Spirit Beast Egg on Feng Yuan’s chest. He expressed his surprise,

"Could you be that lucky inheritor?"

"What lucky inheritor?"

"The one who was entrusted with an egg by a Divine Beast, a golden Spirit Beast Egg at that—it does look like it~"

"No photos allowed!"

Seeing Brother Li pull out his phone as if to take a picture, Captain Chen warned, and with a pout, Brother Li put away his phone and said,

"Fine, I believe he’s here to protect you. You’re something else, having protection wherever you go. Come on, show me the medicinal herbs."

When Big Cat took out an array of Spiritual Medicine and Materials from the bag, Brother Li couldn’t help but glance at Feng Yuan in surprise. Once he got his hands on the items, Brother Li became focused, and after a while, he tallied everything up, quickly entered some information into the computer, and then handed the printout to Feng Yuan, saying,

"Take a look, this is the highest price we can offer."

Feng Yuan glanced at the list, saw no issues, completed the trade, and before leaving, Brother Li requested a photo with the Spirit Beast Egg, but was resolutely denied by Captain Chen. Feng Yuan shrugged at Brother Li, indicating he was powerless.

"Do you trust that guy that much?"

At the door, Teacher Yan asked Feng Yuan in a low voice. Without turning back, Feng Yuan replied,

"Yeah, he’s trustworthy. I’ve dealt with him so many times, and he always offers me the highest price he can. Anyway, I know the rough price of those items, so isn’t it good to just leave them with a reliable acquaintance as long as the difference isn’t too big?"

Teacher Yan stared at Feng Yuan for a while and sighed. Just as they stepped out of the door, a woman handed Feng Yuan a flyer. Noticing Captain Chen walking out as well, the woman blew a kiss to Feng Yuan and quickly walked away.

"Do you want to become stronger? We have a professional team to teach you how to grow rapidly. If you’re interested, come to E Hua Temple soon."

"What a weird thing... who uses such an informal slogan?"

Feng Yuan muttered about the strange slogan, a bit dumbfounded, and casually crumpled up the flyer and tossed it into the trash can.

"You’re not planning to leave the city area again, are you?"

As they walked out, Captain Chen sighed and glanced at Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan looked back at him, puzzled, and asked,

"I’m preparing to head back. What’s up?"

"Alright, Old Yan, you keep an eye on him and don’t let him run off; I need to deal with some matters."

"Sure, you go ahead."

"What’s so urgent? Can you tell me?"

Feng Yuan looked at Captain Chen curiously. Captain Chen sighed somewhat helplessly and said,

"It’s nothing major. Yesterday, the research institute in the Maomu region discovered an ancient alchemical artifact left by Dahava in the outskirts. The experts are surveying it now. The records left by Dahava have just been decrypted, that record..."

Speaking, Captain Chen hesitated for a moment and then whispered,

"Don’t tell others about it. Although it’s not something that needs to be kept highly confidential, it’s still better to keep it under wraps for now."

"What is it?"

Feng Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.
