READ WEBNOVEL 66 Chapter 66- Meeting a Band of Hunters
The profound stones are the crystallisation of pure battle energy that are mined from quarries that can be used to increase one's cultivation when absorbed.
Because of their use and resourcefulness, they had replaced other forms of currency and one needed these profound stones to buy anything in this world.
Thanks to the previous owner, Yang Chen was aware that there existed several grades of profound stones. Bronze Profound Stones is the lowest grade and is the most common currency that was used by everybody in this world.
It can basically buy you all your needs, whether it be clothes, food or drink. However, when it came to wants like, battle skills, elixirs, pills and all, one needed higher grades of profound stones for the transaction.
The previous owner of this body never came across anything higher than bronze profound stones thus he was mostly unaware of what other grades were there.
Nevertheless, this information in itself was enough for Yang Chen to have a basic understanding of the currency of this world. Be that may, he did not even have a single bronze profound stone in his pocket.
He also searched the ring in hopes of finding some profound stones given that it had all this unique and precious stuff. However, he gave a dejected sigh when he couldn't find a single profound stone inside.
The old man had the time to store all these precious kinds of stuff in his ring but didn't bother keeping even a single profound stone with him.
In any case, he needed money if he planned to enter the city. All his activities, be it gathering information, dining or purchasing anything, required money.
"As I thought, I have no choice but to sell this…" Yang Chen looked at the numerous demonic beast carcasses that were sitting inside the ring.
After learning that the bodies of the demonic beats were precious from the leader of the hunter band, Yang Chen stopped wasting them and stored the bodies of every demonic beast he hunted in his ring. So it was not like he was all out of options, if it comes to that, yYng Chen was ready to sell some demonic beast corpses in exchange for profound stones.
The problem with this plan was that he didn't know where the hunters exchanged their loot and how much the demonic beasts sitting inside his rings were worth.
Well, he could think about this stuff once he exits the forest the first thing early in the morning tomorrow. For now, his body needed rest after an entire day of hunting demonic beats and practising battle skills.
The morning of the next day, when the early rays of the sun just broke out, Yang Chen made his way back to the outer region of the forest using the [map] option of his Greedvil System.
This option was quite helpful, he had managed to avoid multiple groups of demonic beasts on his way and even learned a thing or two about the geography of this forest. As he neared the outer region of the forest, blue dots started appearing on his map. The red dots indicated that the entity was hostile to him whereas the blue dots meant that they were neutral.
In the star fall jungle filled with ferocious demonic beats, there could only be one species that wasn't outright hostile to him and that was humans. And the fact that they appeared on his map, meant that they were nearby.
Thinking for a while, Yang Chen decided to observe them.
[Traceless Shadow Advent] the shadow underneath him started wiggling and wrapped around his body eliminating his presence and aura. In this state, he was so inconspicuous that even if a person walked by him, they would be unable to sense him.
Usually, they would run away at the first sign of this demonic beast but not today. It could be said that they had lucked out incredibly today when they discovered a heavily injured five horned demonic rhino near the borders of the middle region.

It was not an unusual sight to see demonic beast scuffle with each for food and territory and get injured in the process. However, it was always the weaker demonic beast getting dominated.
The [Traceless Shadow Advent] was one of the Sky Grade battle skills that he learned from the ring. If he mastered it to its peak completion, he would even be able to assimilate with the shadows around him and go perfectly unnoticed.
Activating the skill, Yang Chen approached closer to the neutral blue dots displayed on his map and saw a group of five hunters carrying an enormous carcass of what looked like five horned demonic rhino.
"Leader Qing Mu, how about we take a rest? The corpse of this demonic beats is so heavy that my body is starting to ache"
A plain looking hunter who was at the back end of the group, complained. The person named Qing Mu, he was addressing was the leader of this band.
"Luo Bu don't be a weakling, we only have a little more to go. Once we get out of this forest and secure a carriage to transport it back to the city, you can rest as much as you want then. For now, keep moving" Qing Mu spoke sternly.
However, whenever he looked at the corpse they were carrying, a smile that was difficult for him to hide, bloomed on his face. It was a genuine five horned demonic rhino whose strength is said to be at the Battle Master class.
Not only that, its hide was so sturdy that even a steel sword wasn't able to cut through it. If they sold the corpse of such a demonic beast, they were sure to get a ton of profound crystals for it.
Just thinking about it, was making Qing Mu excited. Usually for a group of average hunters like them who could only dive as far as the borders of the middle region of the forest with their strength, encountering a demonic beast like the five horned demonic rhino spelled death.
Usually, they would run away at the first sign of this demonic beast but not today. It could be said that they had lucked out incredibly today when they discovered a heavily injured five horned demonic rhino near the borders of the middle region.
It was not an unusual sight to see demonic beast scuffle with each for food and territory and get injured in the process. However, it was always the weaker demonic beast getting dominated.
They had never been a case where a powerful demonic beast like the five horned rhino getting severely injured in a scuffle. The monster of that calibre was usually the dominator of a small territory. Your support means a lot!! Please use your power stones to vote for the novel..
