The Strongest War God

Chapter 1154: Making a Big Deal

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Deal!”

Jayven Neal lifted his backpack and poured out all the wolf skins.

The assistant quickly brought a bag of small spirit stones.

A total of twenty-four thousand pieces.

Each one was hexagonal in shape, about the size of a little finger.

These were small spirit stones.

Linden Lackey said enthusiastically, “Young Master Jayven, you can leave the spirit stones here. When you return to the city, you can go to our trading house to withdraw it there.”

“That’s fine.”

Jayven agreed readily.

After all, doing business required a good reputation.

Plus, carrying spirit stones around was inconvenient. It was better to store them here for free and then go to their trading house to collect the spirit stones when they returned to the ancient city.

Linden didn’t dare to renege on the deal either.

After all, behind Jayven stood a giant figure, the Neal family.

Linden watched Jayven leave, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.

The assistant beside him was a bit puzzled and asked, “Mr. Lackey, why are you so polite to Young Master Jayven?”

“I’m not being polite to him; I’m giving face to the swordsman behind him. Just based on this prodigal son, he wouldn’t be able to exterminate a wolf pack. There must be an expert behind him.”

Linden said calmly, revealing his reason.

After all, as a trading house, they enjoyed making friends with strong individuals.

Those powerful experts in the wilderness who could casually slay a high-level spirit beast would have loot that was extremely valuable. When the trading house bought them and turned them into weapons, the profit would be considerable.

Experts were always important guests for trading houses.

This was something that would never change.

On the other side, Jayven returned empty-handed.

Skylar Neal asked calmly, “Did someone rob you of your belongings?”

“No, I sold them. I left the spirit stones there. We can go to their trading house in the city to collect the money when we return.”

Jayven explained on the side, his eyes shining with excitement. “Skylar, when are we going to hunt down fifth-level spirit beasts?”

“Let’s do it now. Sapphire’s cultivation has reached the level of a conferred pinnacle, so she’ll follow Skylar. Since your strength is the weakest, you’ll follow me!” Braydon Neal responded instead.

This surprised both Sapphire and Jayven.

Sapphire quickly said, “Braydon, there are only four of us. Splitting up further in the wilderness is too dangerous.”

“Inside the ruins, teams usually consist of five to nine people. Going to hunt spirit beasts alone or with just one or two people is too dangerous.”

Jayven also advised against it.

But Braydon and Skylar had their reasons for doing so.

This trip was about hunting spirit beasts or finding some rare spirit herbs to sell for spirit stones and then buying some daily necessities.

Plus, the deserted courtyard left by Finley Yanagi also needed to be rebuilt.

All of this required spirit stones!

Braydon picked up Jayven, stepped on his flying sword, and rose into the air.

Jayven exclaimed, “Braydon, don’t fly. Flying in the wilderness is the most dangerous way to travel. Not only is it easy for you to become prey for flying spirit beasts, but it’s also easy to be attacked by hidden spirit beasts in the mountains.”

“It’s okay!” Braydon remained calm.

The two flew on their swords at an extremely fast speed, traveling east for over a hundred miles.

Jayven hung his head dispiritedly and said with a mournful expression, “Braydon, don’t fly deeper into the wilderness. The deeper we go, the fewer martial artists there are, and the more spirit beasts there are, including some terrifying ones.”

Seeing this, Braydon didn’t insist on venturing deeper into the wilderness.

Just in this area alone, Braydon had already sensed over ten powerful auras.

Each one was very strong.

Braydon descended to the ground, looking at the dense forest calmly. “We’ll spend the night here tonight.”

“What?”

Jayven’s eyes widened, then he exclaimed in horror, “I won’t do it! I want to go home!”

Braydon paid no attention to his tantrum.

Would Jayven dare to go back on his own from here, over a hundred miles away from the ancient city?

With his strength as a low-level pinnacle, he would be devoured by a spirit beast if he encountered one on the way.

So Jayven could only grit his teeth and follow his older brother through the forest.

Within the forest, occasional roars echoed!

Tigers roaring, dragons bellowing, and the hissing of giant pythons filled the air.

These sounds sent shivers down Jayven’s spine, making him feel that the owners of these sounds were demonic beings.

After all, in the wilderness, spirit beasts without strength would usually behave themselves and not stir up trouble.

Those spirit beasts that made noise all the time were undoubtedly the overlords.

At least in the forest, they were powerful entities.

When they made sounds, they were warning other spirit beasts not to approach their territory.

It was akin to declaring territorial boundaries.

Spirit beasts had strong territorial awareness.

Humans too had a latent territorial instinct within them.

It was like someone suddenly trespassing into one’s yard, which would often elicit anger from many people. It would appear as if the person had no manners and had intruded into someone else’s home.

In fact, this was a latent territorial consciousness.

Jayven was a bit apprehensive as he followed behind his older brother, Braydon.

The two brothers walked through the gloomy forest.

The damp environment and the musty smell of decay would instill instinctual fear in people.

Braydon moved forward calmly, holding a little black cat in his arms.

Suddenly.

The little black cat let out a meow.

“Something’s coming.”

Braydon gazed calmly to the south, where the leaves rustled.

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

A green giant python, over twenty meters long, slithered swiftly toward them.

A pinnacle-level spirit beast.

According to Jayven, it was a first-level spirit beast.

Braydon stroked the little black cat, and a crimson sword appeared behind him.

A crimson long sword formed from vitality.

Under the influence of the Heaven-Splitting Forbidden Technique, it could penetrate anything.

The moment the green giant python appeared.

The crimson sword pierced through a large tree, accurately piercing through the head of the python.

Killing it with a single strike.

Jayven stared with wide eyes.

A powerful spirit beast had been instantly killed by Braydon.

After coming back to his senses, Jayven hurried forward and began dissecting the body of the green giant python.

He peeled off a complete python skin from its body.

At the same time, from the head of the green giant python, Jayven extracted a round bead the size of a little finger.

Inside the round bead, there seemed to be a tiny green giant python that was hissing.

“What is this?” Braydon asked.

Jayven exclaimed in excitement, “Braydon, it’s a beast core! We’ve hit the jackpot!”

“What’s a beast core?” Braydon was also seeing this for the first time.

Jayven carefully put it away and said, “The most precious thing inside a spirit beast’s body is the beast core. Generally speaking, a first-level spirit beast’s body won’t even form a core. Even after killing a thousand of them, you might not find one.

“For a second-level spirit beast, the chance of forming a beast core inside its body is only one in a hundred!

“For a third-level spirit beast, the chance is one in ten.

“Starting from the fourth-level spirit beast, they will all have a beast core, which is the most precious thing on them. Its main use is in refining.”

…

Jayven was a little excited, imparting some knowledge to Braydon.

To refine a spirit artifact, one important thing couldn’t be omitted.

That was the beast core!

But spirit artifacts couldn’t be easily taken out from the various ruins.
