Alchemy & Martial Supreme

However, the people of the merchant group were not excited because of this. It seemed like this kind of thing would happen occasionally.    

"Five hundred second-grade blackstones." Old Liu said with certainty.    

The other Martial Cultivator nodded their heads as well. They were all experienced people in the martial arts world, and they could clearly see how many blackstones there were in the bag. They could roughly guess how many blackstones there were if they weighed the bag.    

Five hundred second-grade blackstones.    

There were not many of them.    

Qin Ming guessed that the burly man did not intend to fight with the merchant group. He was just here to collect the toll as usual.    

It was already a lot for him to earn five hundred second-grade blackstones with just a single trip.    

If there were frequent battles, most of the burly man's subordinates would have died.    

Moreover, it was very easy for people to hold a grudge against him. The gains outweighed the gains.    

After taking some blackstones, both sides would take care of their face, and this business could continue for a long time.    

That's right, in the eyes of those Martial Cultivator, they already treated robbery as a business.    

If he were to pass by here alone, he would probably be robbed clean.    

Of course, ordinary bandits like this would not harm people's lives.    

But it was very likely that they would force him to join them.    

Being a bandit and not being able to leave, wasting a large amount of time, and doing things that went against his principles, Qin Ming was glad that he didn't want to go to the city alone, and instead stayed with the caravan.    

"The supreme world is rich in resources, but there are also many experts. It is a place where the strong prey on the weak. If you want to survive here, you must either have a backer, have strength, or have a skill." Qin Ming was in awe of the supreme world.    

He had only walked a short distance, but he had already seen quite a number of late True Dragon Realm Martial Cultivator.    

This region definitely had peak True Dragon Realm Martial Cultivator.    

……    

The merchant group continued forward. After collecting the black stones, the nearby Martial Cultivator left.    

For a long period of time, no Martial Cultivator passed by the merchant group, nor any Origin Beast.    

There were a lot of Martial Cultivator moving around here, so naturally, there were very few Origin Beast. Even if there were some Origin Beast that came in occasionally, they would probably become food for those Martial Cultivator.    

The surroundings were silent. The vague figures from before had all disappeared.    

After a long time, some Origin Beast appeared in the surroundings. Everyone knew that they had already walked out of the territory of those bandits.    

But after leaving the bandits... This did not mean that they were safe.    

On the contrary, danger had just arrived.    

If they had given Blackstone, not only would the bandits not rob them, they would instead protect them.    

The journey had already ended, so the bandits naturally would not protect them anymore.    

"Everyone, pay attention! Don't kill the Origin Beast! Focus on chasing them away!"    

"If anyone dares to kill the Origin Beast without permission, causing the stench of blood to spread, don't blame me for being impolite." Elder Qi's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears.    

Hearing Elder Qi's warning, everyone's heart trembled.    

The merchant group continued forward. More and more Origin Beast appeared, and the grass grew denser and denser.    

The place where the merchant group had previously walked was filled with uneven rocks. There were very few trees and grass, and there was not much life force left.    

And now, there was more and more green, and the scenery was getting better and better.    

However, everyone did not smile because the scenery had become better. Instead, their expressions were solemn.    

Killing intent was lurking everywhere. No one knew what level the Origin Beast would be the next moment.    

There was a sacred beast level Origin Beast here.    

That's right. It was rumored that there was a sacred beast level Origin Beast here. If it was a coincidence, then perhaps it was hidden in the depths of the forest.    

The Martial Cultivator all knew that if a sacred beast level Origin Beast appeared, and a killing intent arose, none of the Martial Cultivator here would be able to live.
