"If that idiot Lin Yi has a lot of good jades in his hands, that would be great!" Meng Tong couldn't help but look forward to it.
It was in his nature to love ease and hate work. Compared to working hard in the mining area every day, taking a few pieces of useless jades from Meng Jueguang to exchange for Lin Yi's good jades, this was more in line with his intentions.
In fact, Meng Tong was starting to regret. He regretted that he had such a big mouth in the past and spilled the beans about Lin Yi, that idiot who couldn't differentiate good jades and useless jades. Now that he thought about it, he was really stupid!
If he hadn't spilled the beans, then the other newbies wouldn't have known that they could exchange useless jades with Lin Yi, that idiot. In that case, wouldn't all the good jades in Lin Yi's hands belong to him?
That was a total of 15 pieces of good jades! Even if he worked hard in the seventh mining area for three months, he wouldn't be able to earn even half of those 15 pieces! If that was the case, why would he need to work so hard in the mining area every day? He could just lie in the cave and count the spiritual jades for fun!
However, this kind of good thing could only be thought of in his mind. No matter how stupid Meng Tong was, he knew that if that was the case, the good jades that he exchanged from Lin Yi's hands would most likely fall into Meng Jueguang's hands. At most, he would be able to eat some thin soup.
After sighing for a while, Meng Tong could only continue to report to the mining area as usual. However, when he passed through the long underground corridor and was about to enter the mining area, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"What the hell?" Meng Tong couldn't help but look around. In that instant, he clearly saw a black and white shadow scurrying in front of him. The movement was quite fast.
If it was an ordinary person, they might not be able to react in time. However, no matter what, Meng Tong was still a Heaven Stage Full Circle expert. Although he didn't see it clearly, he could already confirm that the shadow that scurried in front of him was definitely a spiritual beast.
"A spiritual beast! That meat is much more delicious than the meat of ordinary wild beasts! "Thinking of this, Meng Tong couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Logically speaking, when one's strength reached the level of a Heaven Stage expert, they would be able to completely abstain from eating. Through daily cultivation, they would be able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which would be far enough to satisfy their own needs. He no longer needed to consume food to replenish his energy.
However, this didn't mean that all the experts above Heaven Rank didn't eat at all. In fact, out of habit, most of the cultivators would eat from time to time. Of course, it was no longer necessary for them to eat at this time. It was purely to satisfy their cravings.
Take Meng Tong for example, he had already become a Heaven Stage expert a few years ago and could abstain from eating. However, he still maintained the habit of eating all kinds of delicacies every day, and even went out to hunt a few rare beasts every few days for a sumptuous meal.
Based on his experience, no matter how rare a wild beast's meat was, it was still inferior to a spirit beast's meat.
One must know that spirit beasts were equivalent to cultivators among wild beasts. Even the weakest and lowest-ranked spirit beasts were existences of the essence of the world's spirit energy. Not only was their meat far more delicious than that of ordinary beasts, but it also contained spiritual energy. More importantly, it contained spiritual energy. Even for cultivators, it was a rare nourishing item. Its effects could not be said to be comparable to medicinal pills, but it was not too far off.
Before Meng Tong came to the Welcome Pavilion, he had taken many spirit beasts in the deep mountains and forests of the northern island as a sumptuous meal. Of course, they were all relatively weak Yellow Rank or even no rank spirit beasts. Firstly, it wouldn't be too difficult to capture them. Secondly, it wouldn't cause too much of a commotion to attract other people's attention. This was the most important point.
The Heaven Stage Island was different from the secular world. In the secular world, as long as one had the strength, he could hunt spirit beasts however he wanted. However, in the Heaven Stage Island, even if he hunted a weak spirit beast, once this matter was exposed, it would cause great trouble.
There was no other reason. On the Heaven Stage Island, spirit beasts were cultivators like humans. They could even transform into human form after becoming strong enough. In the pursuit of the Heavenly Way, everyone was on equal footing with each other.
The south island of the Heaven Stage Island was known as the Spirit Beast Island. The powerful spirit beast clan gathered on the island. Its power and strength were not inferior to any human sect.
The declaration issued by the spirit beast clan clearly stated that if anyone dared to hunt spirit beasts on the Heaven Stage Island, they would be regarded as the enemy of the entire spirit beast clan. They would not rest until they were dead. With the unremitting efforts of the spirit beast clan, this declaration was recognized by several top sects on the middle island.
In this way, not only the spirit beasts on the south island of the Heaven Stage Island, but the lives of the spirit beasts distributed on other islands were also guaranteed to a certain extent.
However, the real sphere of influence of the spirit beast clan was ultimately limited to the south island of the Heaven Stage Island. Although human experts from other places would have some taboos in public, they might not really take this declaration seriously in private.
Just like a cultivator like Meng Tong who was used to having a sumptuous meal, he would never indiscriminately kill any spirit beasts in front of others. However, in private, the number of weak spirit beasts that had been eaten by him was at least eighty, if not a hundred. In any case, as long as no one found out and reported him, it was fine. He had eaten everything clean without anyone knowing.
"I wonder what kind of spirit beast it is!" Meng Tong's eyes lit up. He immediately turned his head and began to search for the shadow that he had seen just now.
It had been more than twenty days since he had arrived at the Welcome Pavilion. Due to the surrounding environment, he had not been able to eat even a mouthful of meat. After holding back for so many days, his mouth had long become bland. At this time, a spirit beast had taken the initiative to deliver itself to him. How could he let it go?
Both the inside and outside of the Spirit Jade Hall were heavily guarded. However, the corridor before the entrance to the mining area was not guarded at all.
This was convenient for Meng Tong. After all, if there were guards everywhere, it would not be good for him to brazenly capture the spirit beast. Otherwise, he would be regarded as a suspicious person and arrested.
However, Meng Tong searched around the corridor, but he could not find the shadow of the spirit beast just now. When he finally decided to give up and return to the mining area resentfully, he found the black and white figure in front of the door again.
"Circle Bear?" Looking at the young figure in front of him that wanted to sneak into the door, Meng Tong's eyes suddenly widened.
When it stood upright, it was not even half a person's height. It had a round head and a plump body. Its whole body was covered with milky white fur. Only the eyes, ears, and the circle of fur on its chest were dark. This was clearly a Circle Bear cub.
