After more than a day, Xiaohei knew that as long as it fulfilled Lin Zheyu’s requests or did something that made Lin Zheyu happy, it could get roasted meat to eat.

Yesterday, it followed Lin Zheyu all day and roughly understood that Lin Zheyu was hunting beasts.

Therefore, Xiaohei thought that killing beasts could make Lin Zheyu happy and get roasted meat.

“This little guy is a lot smarter than I imagined!”

Lin Zheyu looked at the proud Xiaohei and couldn’t help but lament.

He stood up and began preparing firewood to roast the beast Xiaohei had caught.

Xiaohei followed beside him energetically, biting off branches with its teeth and then carrying them to the campfire from last night.

“Haha~”

Lin Zheyu watched the busy Xiaohei and couldn’t help but laugh.

He took a bag of white powder from his embrace, called the busy Xiaohei, and saw it sprinkle the powder on its body under its suspicious gaze, rubbing it evenly with his hands.

Then, Lin Zheyu untied the rope tied around Xiaohei.

This powder is used for tracking, very effective, doesn’t dissolve in water, and can last for three days.

If you want to remove it prematurely, you can only wash it off with a specially formulated potion.

Seeing Xiaohei being so obedient and cooperative, Lin Zheyu decided to test it, to see if Xiaohei would run away when the rope was untied.

If it wouldn’t, then it would indicate that Xiaohei’s initial training was successful.

Chirp chirp chirp chirp…

Xiaohei revealed a suspicious look in its eyes, scratching its neck with its paw, and couldn’t help but call out to Lin Zheyu.

“Continue to pick up firewood, pick this kind.”

Lin Zheyu said, gesturing to the dry firewood on the ground.

Xiaohei seemed to understand, darting towards the firewood on the ground in the distance and carrying it back, without any intention of running away.

Lin Zheyu came to the campfire from last night, igniting the firewood.

He took out a small knife from his bag, used a coarse wooden basin made from tree trunks, washed the beast meat, and then prepared to roast.

One person and one beast worked together, Lin Zheyu processed the beast meat for roasting, while Xiaohei continually fetched dry firewood from the forest.

After a while, a rich and tempting aroma of roasted meat wafted.

Xiaohei stopped, stared at the roasted meat in Lin Zheyu’s hands, and couldn’t help but drool.

“Why are you stopping? Keep picking up firewood.”

Lin Zheyu instructed Xiaohei as he picked up some dry firewood.

Xiaohei yet couldn’t understand too complex words; it requires him to cooperate with gestures or demonstrations with items, so it can understand.

Upon hearing this, Xiaohei reluctantly glanced at the roast meat and continued to pick up firewood.

“Stay for two more days before going back.”

Lin Zheyu looked at the busy Xiaohei and said to himself.

Bafang City doesn’t allow the unimpeded entry and exit of beasts; only large factions have this right.

Lin Zheyu originally planned to train Xiaohei outside the city and check on it periodically, slowly taming it.

However, Xiaohei was more obedient than he imagined.

After staying for two more days, one person and one beast might be familiar with each other, and it wouldn’t need restraint, just let it loose in the forest.

By then, following the tracking scent on its body, as long as it has appeared within a radius of two kilometers, the scent can be tracked.

Two days later…

In the forest, the rich smell of roast meat drifted around.

Next to the campfire were two beasts bound tightly by ropes, unable to move.

And a drooling, pig-like fox-like beast staring at the roast meat in Lin Zheyu’s hand was none other than Xiaohei.

The two tightly bound beasts, one was a beast at Qi Blood Two Transformations, the other at the Peak of Refining Internal Organs strength.

Living beasts are more valuable than dead ones.

He planned to carry the beasts out of the forest to sell, mostly would spare their lives.

“Xiaohei, I’m leaving now, stay nearby, don’t run too far, do you understand?”

Lin Zheyu threw the last piece of roast meat to Xiaohei and then warned.

Xiaohei raised its head, suspiciously looking at Lin Zheyu, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

“You keep eating, just hope I can still see you when I come next time.”

Lin Zheyu didn’t care whether Xiaohei understood or not, he patted Xiaohei’s head and stood up.

He lifted two sturdy beasts, one in each hand over his shoulder.

This weight was nothing to him, but the size of these two beasts was too large, making them somewhat difficult to carry.

Bang —

Lin Zheyu pressed hard on his foot, creating a deep pit on the ground, and dashed out.

Xiaohei sensed the commotion and suddenly lifted its head to look in the direction where Lin Zheyu was leaving, its eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

It glanced at the roasted meat on the ground, then at the departing figure of Lin Zheyu, and picked up the meat and followed suit.

“Looks like you still have some conscience.”

Lin Zheyu glanced at Xiaohei, who had caught up, and said with a smile.

His efforts over the past few days hadn’t gone to waste; he and Xiaohei had formed a nice friendship through the roasted meat.

“Go back now, don’t follow anymore,” Lin Zheyu said to Xiaohei.

Xiaohei, holding the meat, looked at Lin Zheyu in confusion, unable to understand, as it couldn’t yet comprehend such complex language.

Seeing Xiaohei couldn’t understand, Lin Zheyu ignored it and continued on his way in silence.

He wanted to see if Xiaohei would follow him all the way to the outskirts of Bafang City.

Half an hour later, they were getting closer to the edge of the forest.

Xiaohei finally stopped, holding the meat, standing on a branch watching Lin Zheyu’s figure in the distance, eyes full of confusion and reluctance.

“Finally stopped, that’s quite alright. If it continued, it might get discovered by other powerful Martial Artists.”

Lin Zheyu glanced back at Xiaohei and, seeing the reluctance in its eyes, felt very gratified.

All those days roasting meat for the little guy hadn’t been in vain.

As they reached the outskirts of the forest, there were more hunters and herbalists around, often running into hunters going into the mountains or herbalists.

“Damn, this guy is something else!”

In the distance, one of the five men hunting party couldn’t help but exclaim.

The others followed his gaze and saw Lin Zheyu carrying two enormous fierce beasts sprinting wildly, incredibly shocked.

“It’s him!” someone exclaimed.

“Do you know that person?” one of his companions couldn’t help but ask.

“I don’t know him, but I’ve seen him twice.”

“This person has become very famous in the marketplace recently, every time showing up carrying more than two fierce beasts, most of them alive.”

“I heard the most impressive time was when he carried a fierce beast at the Qi Blood Five Transformations level to sell, it was a lively scene, too bad I wasn’t there,” that person said.

“Damn, it’s actually this fierce guy!”

The others couldn’t help but exclaim.

They too had heard of a fierce guy recently appearing in the marketplace, capable of capturing Qi Blood Four Transformations fierce beasts alive and killing Qi Blood Five Transformations fierce beasts.

Such a fierce guy rarely showed up in the marketplace as a hunter.

With such powerful martial skills, he didn’t lack money at all, with many forces eager to recruit him, not needing to laboriously hunt beasts in the mountains for money.

As Lin Zheyu just arrived at the marketplace at the foot of the mountain, many people surrounded him.

Before he even entered the market, a large crowd had already surrounded him.

Lin Zheyu, carrying two giant fierce beasts, walked through the crowd, exuding a powerful aura, causing people to clear a path.

“Two live fierce beasts, one at Qi Blood Two Transformations, one at Peak of Refining Internal Organs, those interested, bid for them, the highest bidder wins.”

Lin Zheyu arrived at the marketplace, and on the bustling street, put down the two fierce beasts and said loudly.

“I bid two hundred and forty taels of silver!”

“Two hundred and eighty taels of silver!”

“Three hundred taels of silver!”

The onlooking crowd started bidding, most just there to watch the excitement.

Lin Zheyu waited for a while; seeing no higher bids, he looked at the middle-aged man who bid three hundred taels of silver and said, “Deal!”

This was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his fifties, well-maintained, with a very strong aura, reaching the level of Qi Blood Two Transformations.

He came forward, took out thirty taels of gold from his bosom.

The middle-aged man looked at the two fierce beasts on the ground, confirmed they were correct, then instructed his subordinates to carry them away, but he didn’t leave.

“This friend, may we speak privately for a moment?” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

Lin Zheyu looked at him and said indifferently, “No.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

As his fame spread, many people came to find him, but Lin Zheyu refused them one by one.

He stayed in Bafang City mainly to look for Liang Song’s mentor, while hunting beasts to accumulate funds, planning to stay for at most three months.

Whether he found Liang Song’s mentor or not, he would leave then.

Therefore, Lin Zheyu didn’t want too many entanglements with the forces in Bafang City.

“No need to rush in rejecting, why not at least hear the terms first, it’s never too late to refuse if you’re not satisfied,”

The middle-aged man caught up quickly, speaking with confidence, seeming quite sure of his terms.

They had been eyeing Lin Zheyu for some time, a Martial Artist who could hunt Qi Blood Five Transformations fierce beasts, even in Bafang City, was a top-tier Martial Artist.
