Immortality and cultivation begin at age forty, starting with Foundation Establishment.

The news of the Golden Core cultivator's storage bag brought together the five Foundation Establishment cultivators in the group.

Looking at the monster materials scattered all over the ground and the spiritual herbs that were about to wither.

Everyone's expression is different.

Yu Lanhua, who had a Jin Dan family background, didn't care about anything else. She had seen far more precious resources. Her deceased husband's storage bag contained more than ten times the amount of resources in this pile.

If it weren't for the fact that Xuan Yang Sect increased the purchase price of demon beast materials in the last decade, these materials would have continued to depreciate.

A glint flashed in the eyes of alchemist Lu Nian. There were indeed quite a lot of things in the storage bag. If he focused on selling pills to earn spirit stones, he could earn that much in about ten years.

Chen An's expression remained largely unchanged.

In contrast, Ye Hongyi and Zheng Ping, two inexperienced people, could no longer control their facial expressions.

Too many, far too many.

Ye Hongyi felt that with these resources, she could survive until the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Zheng Ping also felt it was too much; with these resources, it would be enough to train more than a dozen people in the Xuan Yang Sect to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Chen An suggested that a portion of the resources, along with a substandard Foundation Establishment Pill, be given to Old Man Wang.

The reason for doing this is to give the others who find the opportunity an opportunity to hand it over; otherwise, everyone in the demon-hunting team who finds the opportunity will hide it.

Then the entire demon-hunting team's gains will shrink infinitely.

Foundation Establishment Pills are something that are difficult for any independent cultivator to obtain. The remaining two inferior Foundation Establishment Pills are put out in the open as a bounty.

This is enough to make any rogue cultivator who finds a treasure relinquish their opportunities and exchange them for resources from Chen An and his group.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

This is a good thing. It doesn't necessarily have to be a Foundation Establishment Pill, but having a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward gives hope to the independent cultivators in the team.

There will always be other demon hunters who risk their lives to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The number of independent cultivators is too large.

Give them motivation, and there's no need to worry about casualties.

Behind them, in Qingyang Market, there were many other independent cultivators who wanted to join the demon-hunting team, waiting.

The news caused an uproar.

The old man, Wang Pu, not only escaped severe punishment, but also received a Foundation Establishment Pill and a large amount of cultivation resources.

When Wang Pu received the Foundation Establishment Pill and cultivation resources, he was also somewhat incredulous.

Wang Kui, Wu Lao, and Qin Lan, who had previously helped persuade Wang Pu, were also rewarded in turn, with Wang Kui receiving the most and Qin Lan the least.

Old Wu was beaten up, but after receiving the resources, he was all smiles.

If such good things happen again in the future, he is willing to come more often.

The happiest people were Wang Kui and Qin Lan. Wang Kui was promoted to squad leader by Yan Gang, and Qin Lan's status also improved slightly.

The next day, Yu Lanhua released her late-stage Foundation Establishment aura outside the territory of the Demon Wolf Beast to intimidate it, forcing the Demon Wolf Beast to leave its territory with a group of first-tier Demon Wolf Beasts.

The Demon Wolf Beast had a first-tier Demon Wolf Beast bring out some Demon Wolf Beast cubs and some ancient medicinal herbs that were over a hundred years old, and gave them to Yu Lanhua.

The fact that the Demon Wolf Beast apologized was something no one expected.

They thought that the Demon Wolf Beast leading its pack away from this territory was the limit, but they never expected that the Demon Wolf Beast would offer an apology.

The Dire Wolf Beast is highly intelligent, therefore, Dire Wolf Beast cubs are also very valuable.

Under normal circumstances, it is quite difficult to capture a Dire Wolf cub, and there are even cases where Dire Wolf cubs commit suicide.

Therefore, wild demonic wolf beasts are rarely used as spirit pets in the cultivation world.

The Demon Wolf Beast is a very special species. The cubs born to Demon Wolf Beasts in the mountains and forests possess spiritual intelligence.

The cubs born from a wolf beast that has been raised for a period of time will lose this spirituality.

Yu Lanhua and Chen An looked at the twelve demon wolf cubs on the ground with delight. Whether they raised them themselves or sold them for resources, they would make a fortune.

The Demon Wolf Beast is so sensible.

Chen An and Yu Lanhua put away the wolf cubs and returned to their camp.

These cubs were left to be divided among the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Chen An has three, Yu Lanhua has four, Lu Nian has three, and Zheng Ping and Ye Hongyi each have one.

As for Yu Peiyao, her share will include more cultivation resources.

When Wang Qian saw the baby demon wolf beasts, she was completely charmed and picked up each of them, stroking their fur.

The demon wolf beast is similar to a dog; it enjoys being petted and is clearly more affectionate towards Wang Qian than towards Chen An.

When Yu Peiyao came to see Chen An at the camp, she had a wolf cub on each of her shoulders. One was given to her by her aunt Yu Lanhua, and the other was given to her by Lu Nian. In order to make the two wolf cubs stand more steadily, she specially made her clothes.

Seeing this scene, Chen An thought of Shi Ying. Yu Peiyao now looked like a child who hadn't grown up.

Yu Peiyao stroked the back of the wolf cub with both hands, revealing a charming smile, and said to Chen An, "Senior Brother Chen, my aunt and Uncle Lu both gave me a wolf cub. I heard you also got three. Why don't you give me one too?"

"Okay, here you go." Chen An nodded, casually picked up a wolf cub, and handed it to Yu Peiyao.

The value of a demon wolf beast varies and cannot be precisely estimated; its price also differs depending on who owns it.

Yu Peiyao, a member of the Golden Core Clan, will surely be able to maximize the value of the Demon Wolf Cub.

Seeing a demonic wolf beast being sent away, Wang Qian's eyes flashed with a hint of regret, but she quickly regained her composure.

If there are three, one for Wang Qian, one for Shi Ying, and one for Chen An, that would be perfect.

Yu Peiyao accepted the monster cub, just as Chen An had thought. To others, the monster cub was just a monster cub, or perhaps it could be exchanged for some resources, but to Yu Peiyao, this was her opportunity.

These young demon beasts are practically magic tools for pleasing elders. If she's given away, an elder might give her some advice and perhaps even reward her with a Foundation Establishment Pill to make her path to enlightenment smoother.

After chatting for a while, Yu Peiyao left.

Wang Qian then whispered, "This Miss Yu, she can't even stand up on her shoulders anymore, and she still wants to ask her senior brother for a demon wolf cub."

Chen An comforted her, saying, "Yu Peiyao is quite capable. Her value is increasing. Even if we cooperated with other members of the Yu family, we wouldn't be able to get the terms she offered."

Wang Qian asked, "Does that Aunt Yu Lanhua not intend to cooperate directly with you, Senior Brother?"

Chen An said, "I estimate that the Yu family has other plans for Senior Sister Yu. When the great war starts, Senior Sister Yu probably won't be with us."

Wang Qian said regretfully, "The Qi Refining stage is ultimately too weak. Is it really impossible for her to reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Wang Qian is Chen An's rational choice. She cooperated with Yu Peiyao before because Chen An had no better choice. Now Yu Peiyao's influence is growing, but her strength is only at the Qi Refining stage.

If one's strength cannot match one's power, it becomes dangerous and attracts the attention of those with ulterior motives. Wang Qian wasn't jealous; she was simply reminding Chen An to consider finding someone else to cooperate with.

In the future battlefield, it's impossible to rely on a Qi Refining stage disciple to help them connect with the Golden Core Yu family.

What if the Yu family's doting on Yu Peiyao suddenly stops?

The Yu family's resources cannot be controlled by an outsider like Chen An, no matter how smart he is.

The fact that the demon-hunting team has expanded its operations too much and reaped too many rewards is also a kind of trouble.
