Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Savage Beast



Hua Kai brought the refined salt home to show his grandfather. His grandfather said that he had never seen such white refined salt in his life, and it tasted like nothing. He had never heard of such white refined salt as white as snow.

"According to what you said, if the craftsmanship is skilled, it is no problem to make 100 kilograms of refined salt a day. The required crude salt needs more than 200 kilograms. Last time I brought back 10 stones of crude salt, and the remaining is only enough for 10 days of purification. We have to find a way to store more crude salt." Hua Xing said while looking at the white refined salt.

"Yes, a winter is more than three months, and we can't waste time like this. I haven't heard of any large herds of wild beasts appearing near Qi State in the past few days. Can we go to the big market in Ju State again? There are still more than ten days before the market closes." Hua Kai asked his grandfather.

A pound of crude salt in Linhu grassland costs hundreds of bone coins, and refined salt is not available even if you have money. The refined salt that goes to the grassland every year is monopolized by the big tribes. A pound costs at least thousands of bone coins, which means that 10 pounds of salt can be worth 1 tael of gold. The Hua family earns 10 gold a day from refining crude salt! !

Such a high profit is worth any family's risk. Hua Kai saw that his grandfather was still hesitating there, and continued to speak: "Grandpa, Lieyan (the name Hua Kai gave to Dayuan horse) is now a BMW. With its current strength, it is not a problem to run 700 miles in one go..." Hua Kai said this and looked at his grandfather.

"Do you want us to ride Lieyan to the big market in Ju State? Our Guang County should be safe these days. There are some low-level wild beasts outside the village. It is indeed no problem with your fourth uncle and Hua Fu taking care of it... We will leave tomorrow at noon! We should be back at noon the day after tomorrow."

Hua Xing still couldn't let go of the profit of refined salt, and he said with determination. In more than 10 days, Guang County will basically enter winter. By then, there will be wild beasts all over the land for more than three consecutive months. When spring comes, it will be time to start trading again. At that time, there will be no market, and the family will have no place to buy coarse salt.

At night, the third strong horse was upgraded. Now Hua Kai has upgraded 9 of the 20 strong horses in the family. In another four days, all these horses will be upgraded.

Entering the "big dream world" again, Hua Kai has begun to have some understanding of the [big dream visualization method] in the past few days.

In this "big dream world", Hua Kai can look through all the real things he has experienced, but the closer the distance, the clearer it is. After more than a month, only a vague outline remains.

In the dream, Hua Kai can consolidate the martial arts he practiced during the day, and he can also summarize what he has learned. Moreover, learning does not require any mental energy. The body is always in deep sleep, and the mental energy recovery is more than three times faster than before.

This is a very powerful mental method. Hua Kai has been practicing [Sky Spear] in his dreams in the past few days. Now he has felt a little shadow of the mastery of spearmanship.

The next morning, after finishing the training, Hua Kai came to the salt making workshop to check the results of the salt boiling last night.

The workshop has been rotating salt making without rest since yesterday, and has made more than 70 kilograms of salt crystals. The first and second courtyards are actually very simple, but the key is that the charcoal filtration and boiling evaporation in the third courtyard are too troublesome.

Hua Kai asked the housekeeper to personally arrange a group of people to join the third and fourth courtyards, move two large vats from home as filters, and open two furnaces, so that the salt production speed of the workshop at home is twice as fast, and nearly 100 people rotate in the four courtyards.

At noon, the gate of Huajiabao slowly opened, and Hua Kai and his grandfather sat on the flames and quickly went out of the gate. The village guards on the city wall saw Hua Xing and Hua Kai go out at this time and didn't think much. Anyway, it has not completely entered winter, and the threat to the village is not very big.

This Lieyan is indeed a BMW. It is not difficult to carry Hua Xing and Hua Kai. The two of them rode northward. Hua Kai saw a wild beast jumping out from time to time. Hua Xing tried to ignore it, unless the other party provoked him to death.

"Grandpa, we didn't take this road last time we went to Ju State." Hua Kai said to his grandfather.

"This is a small road to Beihai State. The general convoy cannot pass. The danger is greater on this road, but there are no checkpoints to hinder us. For concealment, it is better to take the small road." Hua Xing explained.

Hua Kai watched the scenery on the roadside moving backward on Lieyan's back. Lieyan's weak period when entering the secret trial has completely passed. The speed at which it runs may even surprise itself.

After running more than 200 miles in three hours, Hua Xing and Hua Kai dismounted to let Lieyan rest for a while. Hua Kai took out fine materials from the space to replenish his physical strength.

"Don't move!" Hua Xing suddenly said to Hua Kai.

Hua Kai felt nervous when he saw his grandfather's serious expression. He saw Hua Xing holding his sandalwood dragon wood spear and slowly approaching the woods. A huge beast roar came from the woods. Even though Hua Kai was far away, his eardrums were numb.

Hua Kai saw his grandfather quietly approaching the direction of the beast roar. He knew that he was afraid that a battle was inevitable. The fact that he could make a master of Qi training so nervous showed that the wild beast was very powerful.

Hua Kai just saw that his grandfather was not far in front of him, but in a blink of an eye, he could not see his grandfather. He stayed by Lieyan. If he couldn't do it, he could ride Lieyan to escape. Since Hua Kai and Lieyan [Family Secret Space] went through hardships together last time, Lieyan had accepted him. In the entire Huajiabao, only Hua Xing and Hua Kai could ride on Lieyan's back.

A few minutes later, Hua Kai waited anxiously. He felt a huge figure approaching him. A black giant bear over 3 meters tall appeared 100 meters away from Hua Kai. The giant bear seemed to have just experienced a battle and had some wounds on its body. After seeing Hua Kai and Lie Yan, it quickly ran towards them.

Hua Kai could not wait for his grandfather at this time. This giant bear must have been a wild beast. He was just a tender vegetable in front of it. It was more important to run away quickly.

Hua Kai quickly rode on the horse. Lie Yan saw that the giant bear was less than 50 meters away from him and fled far away at a high speed. But at this moment, a purple dragon wood spear on a big tree next to the giant bear pierced into the giant bear's eyes. The giant bear did not expect danger to appear here. It only felt that its body was imprisoned by an invisible force and knew that it had encountered a powerful enemy.

Before the big black bear could react, the spear had pierced the giant bear's eyes and passed through the back of his head. The giant bear trembled on the ground for a few times and then completely stopped moving.

As soon as Hua Kai ran away, he felt something was wrong behind him. He turned around and saw his grandfather standing next to the corpse of the giant bear. The speed was too fast.

"Grandpa!" Hua Kai rode over and took a look at the giant bear on the ground and shouted.

"Haha, I'm fine. This is a primary wild beast that is about to break through the intermediate level. The fur alone is worth ten gold. The wild beast meat is much stronger than the wild beast meat. It's a pity that we can't take it away. By the way... Can you take such a big thing away?" Hua Xing suddenly thought of his grandson's ability and asked.

"This guy is too big for me to fit in... If we can chop it up, maybe we can fit more." Hua Kai thought.

Hua Xing used his red sandalwood dragon wood spear to quickly decompose the giant bear, which made Hua Kai see the sharpness of the weapon in this world again. The golden spear head flashed with true energy, and the bones and meat of the entire giant bear were quickly separated.

Most of the meat of these wild bears is edible and is more valuable than animal bones. Hua Kai watched his grandfather skillfully disassemble the black bear. He put the disassembled black bear pieces into his personal space. He didn't expect that such a huge bear meat and bones could be stuffed into the space, leaving only some internal organs and bear heads.

Hua Xing looked at the internal organs and bear heads on the ground. Wild beast meat starts at two silvers per pound. These are worth at least more than one gold. Now there is no way but to abandon them.

The two got on Lieyan and continued to drive towards Buqi County. After passing a river, Hua Xing dismounted and jumped over it. Lieyan relayed on the stone in the middle of the river. Hua Kai crossed the nearly ten-meter-wide river. Entering Donglai County, the terrain became open. There was no trace of wild beasts here. It took only more than an hour for the two to reach the Buqi market.

The Buqi Market is still booming now. Many large ships are parked at the seaside. Some Qi family caravans come here to buy goods. The families are led by masters of Qi training. Ordinary wild beasts at this time are not a threat to the families. Hua Kai saw that there are many more goods in the market that he had not seen a few days ago.

"Nowadays, those who dare to come to Ju State to buy goods are basically family caravans. Ordinary families don't have the courage to leave home at this time. You see, the guards of these caravans are basically above Kaiyuan realm. This is the foundation of the family." Hua Xing got off the horse and let his grandson continue to ride on the horse. He walked slowly into the market with the reins. He told his grandson about the market situation while walking.

Hua Kai saw that the price of goods in this market was more than 10% cheaper than a few days ago. He also saw that there was spiritual rice for sale here, but it was 1.4 gold per catty, which was frighteningly expensive. Hua Kai saw that this spiritual rice was as clear as jade, and each grain was the size of a finger. This thing is not something that even the children of the noble family can eat often.

The two came to the carriage shop, Hua Kai spent 50 bone coins to rent a carriage, and came to an inn with a good environment. Hua Kai and his grandfather paid 130 bone coins and lived in a yard.

After entering the yard, Hua Kai closed the gate of the yard, took out the big black bear corpse from the space and put it on the carriage. Unexpectedly, there were so many things in this 1 cubic meter space. Barbarian meat is much tighter than ordinary meat, and the density is more than half. Hua Kai roughly estimated that the meat and bones are more than 2,000 kilograms, and a carriage can't fit it.

"Leave these and take them home for ourselves! Bear paws and bear skins have been sold. Everyone has heavy training in winter. Barbarian meat is very helpful for everyone to improve their strength... Just leave these pieces!" Hua Xing pointed to a few pieces of black bear meat with big bones and said.

At the end of winter every year, Huajiabao would collect the bones of wild beasts killed in winter and refine them into gold and silver. This is also one of the annual funding sources of the eight major villages. It is much more cost-effective to take these bones home than to sell them directly with the meat, but considering the mission of the two this time, Hua Xing still resisted the urge to pick out all the bones.

Hua Kai put more than 300 kilograms of black bear meat back into the portable space, and Hua Xing pulled the rented carriage, and Hua Kai led Lieyan out of the yard.

The inns here are all large yards connected together. Many families drive carriages in and out of the yard. Hua Kai enters the yard with an empty car and leaves with a full car. Ordinary people will not pay attention to these. The two came all the way to the meat market.

High-quality wild beast meat generally does not deteriorate for several weeks, and wild beast meat can be stored for nearly a month. Wild beasts are scarce in the south in winter and the population is large. The meat market here is basically purchased by various meat shops in the south. Signs of "Buying wild beast meat at high prices" can be seen everywhere in the market.

"Boss, do you buy meat?" Hua Xing came to the largest meat shop and asked.

"We buy high-level and above wild beast meat at a high price, and we don't buy primary wild beast meat and ordinary beast meat. You guys hand over the meat?" The other person who looked like a manager had the third level of Qidong Realm cultivation, looking at Hua Xing and said.

"How do I buy wild beast meat?" Hua Xing said.

"Then I have to look at the quality of the meat and how long it has been stored."

As the other person said this, he walked to the carriage. Hua Xing pulled open the curtain, and the manager just took a look and said.

"This is low-level wild beast meat. It was just killed not long ago. You are lucky. This kind of black bear is quite rare. These four bear paws are 2 gold each. If the meat and bones are included, one catty is 2 silver and 20 bone coins. This bear skin..."

The manager picked up the bear skin and looked at it: "It can be worth 15 gold if it is not damaged..."

"Okay, let's take this price!" Hua Xing said with a hint of joy in his heart. Before he was promoted to Qigong Realm, this kind of wild beast was difficult to capture even the entire Huajiabao. Now he easily killed this black bear and earned more than he did in a year as a merchant.

"Bear paws are 8 gold, bear skin is 15 gold, bear meat is fine after inspection, 1867 jin of wild beast meat is 41 gold, a total of 64 jin. You count!" The manager handed the money to Hua Xing and ordered the men to transport all the meat into the warehouse.

"Haha! I was lucky today to meet injured wild beasts along the way! Grandson, I'll give you the money... It's still four hours before dark, and we should still have time to go home after buying salt later."

Hua Kai originally planned to stay in the market today and go back tomorrow, but Hua Xing was worried about his bear head and urged Hua Kai to go back this afternoon.

After taking the gold, Hua Kai saw that the other party used 10 gold bars and 4 gold coins. I heard that caravans that trade large amounts of money use gold bricks, gold bars, and gold coins.

One gold coin is one tael of gold, and a gold bar weighs one jin, which is exactly ten gold coins. A gold brick weighing ten jin is ten gold bars. I heard that purple gold will be used in larger transactions. A little purple gold can improve the quality of a weapon several times. Purple gold can only be extracted from monster bones, which is not something that small families can get.

Driving the carriage to the place where he bought coarse salt last time, Hua Kai bought ten stones of salt again. The boss only wanted 160 bone coins per stone, which was much cheaper than last time.

The carriage was full of coarse salt and the two left the market. A few miles away from the market, Hua Kai asked his grandfather to keep an eye on him and quickly put all the coarse salt into the portable space.

10 stones of coarse salt plus 300 jin of black bear meat, the space was not full. If I can still see the black bear head when I go home, it should still fit. If not, I will throw away some coarse salt and come again tomorrow. Everything went smoothly this time, and the grandfather and grandson gradually became active.
