Lin Yan also remained calm and said, "I should thank the leader for the Liquor Worm. Without it, the Fire Line Gu alone wouldn't have been enough to break through the beast king's skull."
Shan Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling that she had not made a wrong choice. He was hardworking, talented, and not arrogant. She smiled and said, "Calling 'leader' is too formal. We are both from the Shan Family. If you don't mind, you can call Elder Sister."
Lin Yan understood her aning. Shan Xia was also very beautiful, so there was no loss in calling her that. He changed his tone at once. "Thank you, Elder Sister."
"This beast king was mostly killed by you," Shan Xia said as she looked at the large corpse in the distance. "You can handle it."
Hearing this, the surrounding Gu Masters showed clear envy. The beast king Lin Yan killed was almost intact, so it held the most value. The other three corpses were damaged, and most of the Gu on them were likely destroyed.
Lin Yan also felt excited. He hadn't expected to gain the most from this attack. This would greatly speed up his growth. His luck was indeed good.
Shan Shayuan laughed and said, "Not bad, kid. You deserve this."
Soon, under his uncle's guidance, Lin Yan began collecting the spoils. He found four intact Gu from different parts of the beast king's body. Then he carefully removed the hide, took the at, and stored the bones.
The Fierce Fla Wolf itself was a Fla Path material and could be used as food for many Gu, so it had good value. The four Gu were even more valuable. Even a normal Rank 1 Fla Path Gu could sell for two to three hundred prival stones.
He obtained three Rank 1 Gu—Fire Coal Gu, Fire Smoke Gu, and Gentle Fire Gu—and one Rank 2 Streaming Fire Gu.
Including the corpse, the total value was about two thousand five hundred prival stones. Lin Yan's heart beat faster. He had gained a huge amount in a short ti.
A Rank 1 logistics Gu Master like him would normally earn around five hundred stones in half a year. This was equal to more than two years of inco. The best part was that these Fla Path Gu suited him well and could be used directly.
At this mont, Shan Shayuan spoke, "I don't suggest you keep all of them."
"First, your cultivation is still low. You can't properly use so many strong Gu, especially a Rank 2 one."
"Second, most of these Gu are not part of the Shan Family's Fla Path inheritance."
They are not very flexible, and their future growth is limited. It will be hard to replace them later. And you won't be able to afford to raise them. So of them need rare food.
Shan Shayuan gave an example. "Take Fire Smoke Gu. It's a concealnt-type Gu. When used, it releases a large amount of fire smoke.
For normal Gu Masters, it stands out too much. But for Fla Path users, it works well with large flas. The problem is its food. It needs smoke from a volcanic eruption."
"We don't have volcanoes here. Even if we did, how long would you have to wait for one to erupt?"
Lin Yan thought about it. It was true, so of these Gu were too specialized. Gentle Fire Gu reduced the power of flas and was usually used by Refinent Path Gu Masters. Its cost was also high.
The Rank 2 Streaming Fire Gu was powerful, but it used a lot of prival essence and needed teor fire to feed it. Overall, they were not suitable for him.
Shan Shayuan continued, "I suggest you keep the Fire Coal Gu and sell the rest. This one is cheap to maintain. It only needs normal charcoal, and its effect is very useful. It's a support-type Gu."
"It can reduce the prival essence cost of your other Rank 1 Fla Path Gu by half. It's like giving the fla sothing to rely on, making it last much longer and our Shan Family also has a thod to advance it."
Lin Yan agreed without hesitation. His uncle had experience. Without guidance, he would likely keep all the Gu for short-term strength, only to struggle later when he couldn't afford to maintain them.
At first, it would feel like a gain, but after a few months, he would be forced to sell them anyway, wasting resources. Selling them was simple. The caravan would buy them at market price. Fla Path Gu were always in demand.
Shan Xia looked at the Streaming Fire Gu and said, "Luckily you killed it quickly. If that beast king had broken through, it could have caused losses."
Lin Yan gained about two thousand three hundred prival stones. With what he already had, his total was now quite high.
It was not easy to carry so many stones. Storage Gu started at Rank 2, but they had many drawbacks. Only Rank 3 ones were truly practical.
For now, he could only carry them with him. Fortunately, after killing a large number of Fla Wolves, the caravan was covered in their blood scent. Other wolf packs would not dare approach.
The rest of the journey was safe. After crossing the Fla Wolf Desert, there would be an oasis where he could trade and spend his stones.
About five days later, the caravan reached the edge of the Red Willow Oasis. From a distance, the green oasis looked like an erald in the middle of a golden desert, full of life.
Lin Yan looked into his aperture. Six Gu floated inside, already more than what most Rank 1 Gu Masters had.
