Floating Rock Island.
Tang Ling was grilling the meat while he cut the meat into big chunks and gobbled it down with Monty.
Tang Ling was in a good mood.
High risk came with high reward. There were five Level 4 vicious beasts! He kept the best of the best and filled up the two high elastic tactical backpacks that he brought with him.
He and Monty could eat a lot, but they could not even finish a tenth of the best meat in a single meal.
Was the rest going to be wasted? No, Tang Ling would have to trouble Monty to stay on Floating Rock Island for the time being and guard the spoils. He had gotten a very valuable piece of information from Samuel, and he wanted to use it to maximize the benefits of his spoils.
Other than that, Tang Ling also got some crystals.
There were a total of 76 good grade crystals and 7 excellent grade crystals.
One should not underestimate the value of the excellent grade crystals. A single excellent grade crystal was twice as expensive as a Universal Source Rock of the same weight.
Why? Crystals were the energy essence of all living beings.
People used them, but most of the time, crystals were used as a form of energy. Compared to the old civilization's single energy source, which was petroleum, the energy structure of the Purple Moon era was much more complicated.
Regardless, the value of the crystals as an energy source could never be compared to energy. What was energy? It was something that could be directly absorbed by the human body.
However, excellent grade crystals were different!
When the crystals reached excellent grade, humans could directly absorb them.
They were the main ingredients of many energy potions because they had undergone a mysterious process of biological conversion. The energy they provided to humans was much easier to absorb and purer than the energy provided by the Universal Source Rock.
However, excellent grade crystals were even rarer than the Universal Source Rock.
Therefore, people were willing to absorb the energy from the Universal Source Rock since the best Universal Source Rock could be recharged. Even the small Safety Sector No. 17 had its own training room built with the Universal Source Rock.
However, people were reluctant to absorb excellent grade crystals directly.
The value of excellent grade crystals was mostly reflected in the value of money. True Capital Coins were the strongest currency in the world because they were linked to excellent grade crystals.
A single excellent grade crystal could be exchanged for True Capital Coins at a ratio of 1: 170.
The exchange rate would fluctuate according to various situations, but it was generally stable.
In conclusion, excellent grade crystals were actually the best currency, provided that there was no better way to utilize them.
Tang Ling really needed the coins, so he kept them like they were precious treasures.
It was Level 4 vicious beast meat after all, so he had to eat to his heart's content. Based on his current physique, he could only eat around 1.5 kgs of the meat. Any more and his body would explode.
As for Monty, he was like a bottomless pit. After he ate more than ten pounds of the best roasted meat, he was satisfied and snuck into the sea to exercise and digest his food.
Tang Ling sat down with his legs crossed and started his cultivation again.
After dealing with a wave of enemies, Floating Rock Island would be safe for at least two days. Although he did not plan to stay on the floating rock island anymore, he did not want to stay any longer.
There was no concept of time in cultivation.
Four hours later, Tang Ling finished digesting the energy and stored it in his dantian. Hard work always paid off, and the energy in Tang Ling's dantian was a little denser.
He stood up and stretched his body before he swiftly dissected the Level 4 vicious beasts.
Because of Samuel's message, Tang Ling decided not to waste his energy like he did when he hunted. He started to be calculative and tried his best to preserve all the useful parts.
Therefore, it took Tang Ling two whole hours to finish dissecting the vicious beast meat. He smeared a thick layer of salt on the meat and placed it on the rocks to dry.
All the ingredients that needed to be dried were dried, and the rest that did not need to be dried were wrapped in vicious beast leathers. They were packed neatly into small bags one after another.
More importantly, the vicious beast skeletons were categorized into different categories.
Not all the skeletons were useful, so Tang Ling buried the useless parts in the rocks. After all, it was a deserted island, so it would not attract attention if the skeletons were dried.
However, a large number of skeletons would attract attention, and Tang Ling did not want to attract unnecessary trouble.
After he was done, the sky further away started to brighten up. The hidden rock slope that Tang Ling was on looked rather majestic up close. Big pieces of vicious beast meat were dried on the slope.
Based on the weather in the Purple Moon era, the meat would soon turn into jerky, and it would be much easier for him to do anything after that.
Stretching his body, Tang Ling wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Looking at the slope full of meat, his heart was full of satisfaction. Fortunately, when he exchanged information with Samuel again, he strongly requested Samuel to put two large bags of sealed salt at the exit of the undersea channel, and then went to the sea to fish it up at night. Otherwise, wouldn't the meat be wasted?
Tang Ling rested for five minutes. After the evolution of the little seed yesterday, the information that was left in his mind kept stimulating him, so it was time for him to give it a try.

When Bibili Kerry arrived at Dorgo's room, the whole ancestral land of the Poseidon family started to bustle with activity.
A message had reached the Poseidon family.
The school of Starlight Nether Fish had appeared.
As a matter of fact, they would appear every year, so it was not worth the attention of the Poseidon family.
Moreover, there were many treasures in the sea. Why would the Starlight Nether Fish, one of the materials that could help a Purple Moon Warrior, attract their attention? It was not as rare as the Stamen Seven Lotus, so the Poseidon family was not even interested in harvesting it.
If there was a need, the four lakes on the island of the Poseidon family's ancestral land had Starlight Nether Fish, and they were all top-grade Starlight Nether Fish.
This was the advantage of being the overlord of the sea. Some of the resources that were scarce on land were not that valuable to them.
Why did the Poseidon family get so excited this time? There were three main reasons.
The harvesting of the Starlight Nether Fish was done by the young warriors. Their appearance meant that the first competition for the young warriors had begun.
The other reason was that the mainland was optimistic about the Purple Moon advancement resources this year, while the Poseidon family was pessimistic. The sea was not calm. It felt like a storm was brewing, but the news was sealed off by the Poseidon family. There were only rumors in the outside world.
Under such circumstances, the Poseidon family predicted that the school of Starlight Nether Fish would not appear.
What was the best proof? In the past, Tommy would occasionally find Starlight Nether Fish and Mutated Tricolored Sea Pearls outside the safety line, but this year, the young warriors got nothing.
As for the last point, it was the most uncertain one, but it was also the reason why the Poseidon family was so excited.
What was it?
Someone claimed to have seen Moonlight Nether Fish among the school of Starlight Nether Fish!
Some people were even more exaggerated, claiming to have seen Sunlight Nether Fish.
The people on the mainland rarely heard of these two types of fish. Only some of the nobles and higher-ups on the mainland knew about them, and only the people who were extremely familiar with the sea were aware of their existence.
However, as the overlord of the sea, the Poseidon family was very familiar with these two types of fish.
The sea was vast, and the Poseidon family was not the only force. However, their unique racial talent allowed them to be the top force among all the forces in the sea.
Now, this top force did not manage to obtain this information through its own scouts. Instead, it had vaguely obtained this information from other forces in the sea.
This was the main reason why they were not sure about the third piece of news, and it made the higher-ups of the Poseidon family feel ashamed.
Therefore, the Poseidon family was very excited.
First, they had to confirm the authenticity of the news.
Second, if the news was confirmed, the Poseidon family had to seize the opportunity.
After all, there was only one precious Moonlight Nether Fish in the lake of the ancestral island. Because it was a male fish, the Poseidon family could not even use their racial talent to breed it.
As for the Sunlight Nether Fish, well, had anyone really caught it? Maybe. Maybe it was the world's top powerhouse, the kind that did not show their faces in public.
"We can't let the higher-ups on the mainland know about this. Otherwise, there will be a series of problems."
"Indeed, the people on the mainland have gone crazy this time. Sending some young people to harvest resources for advancement is a big advantage for us. "
"Yes, we originally promised that we, the Poseidon family, would not participate in the harvesting of the other two resources other than the Stamen Lotus. However, once the news is confirmed, we will break our promise, and then they will too. This year's … Advancement resource season will be a bloodier mess than the previous years. "
"For the safety of the sea, we should seal off the news."
"We …"
....
In the family council, Cyril, the patriarch of the family, looked at the councilors who were spitting spittle and the family elders who were sitting on the seats of honor with their eyes closed. No one knew what they were planning. Cyril looked calm on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart.
Greed made many of the family members want to monopolize the resources this time, but in the end, it became this dignified in the end.
For the safety of the sea?!
For the sake of the Poseidon Family, Cyril naturally would not give up on the resources this time. However, in the eyes of this young family leader, who was the closest to the Poseidon Family's ancestor, being overly greedy was foolish.
Did he really think that the Poseidon family was the absolute ruler of the sea? The kind that could cover the sky with one hand? Don't underestimate this era.
Completely sealing off the news from the mainland? That was even more impossible!
Actually, the top sly old foxes of the mainland had their own reasons for sending the young people out to sea this time. It was just that most of the people present couldn't see it.
Until now, Cyril had not heard the speech he wanted to hear the most. He behaved like a mediocre family leader, without any ideas of his own. All he did was listen quietly.
In fact, ever since he became the leader.
He had always done this! The internal strife of the family, the clash of ideas, and the selfish motives of all kinds of people had become more and more obvious.
However, to completely remove a tumor, one could not rush it.
The clowns had to all get on the stage, and then they could only be clean and neat with a knife. Otherwise, if the residual poison spread, things would become even more troublesome.
"I think this matter can't be sealed off from the mainland. Instead of discussing how to be a villain, I personally think that we should first be gentlemen and negotiate with the mainland, and strive for favorable conditions in advance. "
Among the voices, a young voice interrupted. This person was Cornell, who had stopped the devil ray squadron.
His words silenced everyone in the meeting. Many even looked at Cornell with hatred. Obviously, they were very dissatisfied with Cornell's words. One could imagine the storm that Cornell would face next.
However, at this moment, Cyril spoke.
"Dogo and Meryl didn't come to this meeting?"
"That's right. They just lost their precious son, the genius of our family, Omir. As a pair of grieving parents, they are not in the mood to do anything. I think we can understand that. "One of the elders stepped up and spoke for Dogo and Meryl.
The others responded with silence. It was better not to talk about such a troublesome matter.
"Hmm, has the culprit been caught?" Cyril asked.
"No, the capture didn't go well. An apprehension squad lost 13 ships, 9 Rank 2 Purple Moon Warriors, and 4 Rank 3 Purple Moon Warriors, "Cyril's aide said." That's right, Cyril.
Do not expect this group of people to spill such explosive news. Only the aide would speak of such an embarrassing matter.
Pak! Cyril slammed the table hard, obviously enraged by the loss.
"Why didn't anyone tell me such important news? Why?! "
The meeting room fell into silence.
"I'm not in the mood to discuss anything today! Moreover, Dogo and Meryl aren't here either. The news about the shoal of Starlight Nether Fish will have to wait until we confirm the existence of the Moonlight Nether Fish.
Now, I think it's necessary for me to meet Dogo and Meryl. The family must bear their sorrow. "
Cyril then stood up and stormed out angrily, leaving the councilmen and elders looking at each other in silence.
Cyril was getting more and more unfathomable by the day.
He might seem mediocre, but underneath his mediocrity, there would be a chilling edge. The Poseidon family was like the ocean, with turbulent undercurrents.
**
Cyril left. His face, which had seemed incomparably angry, became calm after he walked out of the conference room.
He didn't say anything, and the adjutant just followed behind him in silence.
They hurried through the long corridor outside the council hall and left in a retro car from the old civilization.
Dogo stood in front of the window and watched Cyril leave before he turned around.
As a matter of fact, the area where the nobles lived was around the council square. It was so that the nobles of the Poseidon family could attend the meeting at any time, especially during an emergency meeting.
"Your family leader is really unpredictable," Elder Bibilikry said in a heavy tone when he saw Dogo's gloomy face.
Dogo did not say anything. He sat beside Elder Bibilikry.
Elder Bibilikry seemed to think that the situation was not lively enough, so he said, "As a matter of fact, this planet is huge. After we entered the Purple Moon era, it got bigger. But no matter what, the biggest place is still the ocean. The Stardust Council yearns for the ocean. "
