I can equip strange items

Chapter 76 Paying Off the Debt

"I'm up there, I can see you."

Li Yuan told Lu Jiayin to look up, then chopped a tree in half with a single stroke: "See that? That's where the tree fell. Come up and get it yourself."

"Okay, I'm coming right now." Lu Jiayin hung up the voice call.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan saw a group of people get out of the car and rush towards this side.

However, he was not worried. The reason Lu Jiayin called so many people over was probably for the meat of the Thunder Scorpion.

After all, there's so much meat, one person can't carry it all.

Li Yuan put away his phone and stood at the cave entrance, looking down.

At the foot of the mountain, seven or eight people were climbing quickly up the winding mountain path.

The figure at the head of the group was tall and slender with a brisk pace; it was none other than Lu Jiayin.

He turned and went back into the cave, glancing at the scorpion meat piled in the corner.

That pile of flesh and blood weighed several thousand kilograms, possibly even tens of thousands of kilograms, and it was piled up there like a small mountain.

He had originally planned to use this flesh and blood as fertilizer for the Extreme Yang Grass.

However, since he has already eaten one Yang Yuan Fruit, even if more Yang Yuan Fruits grow, he can only sell them to others or give one to Lu Jiayin as compensation.

Now that Lu Jiayin directly wants the flesh of the Thunder Scorpion, it saves him a lot of trouble.

However—he glanced at the plastic bag in the corner, which was tightly wrapped in leaves and contained the more than twenty pounds of the most succulent tail and belly meat that he had deliberately saved.

He had no intention of handing these over, since he would be staying here for several more days and needed to keep some food for himself.

Soon, footsteps and voices could be heard outside the cave.

"Li Yuan? Are you inside?"

Lu Jiayin's voice rang out at the cave entrance.

"Yes, come in."

Li Yuan responded, and then saw Lu Jiayin bending over and crawling into the cave.

The other party was wearing a black combat uniform today, with a pistol at his waist, and looked capable and efficient.

Following behind her were two young men, also dressed in training uniforms. It was unclear what unit they belonged to; of course, they could both be from the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs.

"Why aren't you wearing the black trench coat anymore?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"The black trench coat is in the way. Is this the flesh of the Thunder Scorpion?"

As soon as Lu Jiayin entered the cave, her gaze fell on the pile of flesh and blood, and her eyes immediately lit up.

She walked over quickly, squatted down, and carefully examined the pieces of meat, occasionally poking them with her finger and smelling them.

"That's right, it's the flesh of the Thunder Scorpion."

Li Yuan leaned against the cave wall, arms crossed: "You've come at the right time. I was just wondering what to do with this pile of meat. If you can move it, it'll save me the trouble."

"Move away?"

Lu Jiayin looked up at him with a half-smile: "Are you sure you want to give us all of it? The meat of this Thunder Scorpion is extremely rare and valuable outside; it can sell for at least 100,000 yuan per kilogram."

"100,000 yuan per kilogram?"

Li Yuan's eyes twitched, and he subconsciously glanced at the plastic bag in the corner.

That's filled with over 20 kilograms, wouldn't that be worth over two million?

He felt that he had been putting the cart before the horse by only taking the shell.

What do you think?

Lu Jiayin stood up and dusted off her hands: "Thunder Scorpions only live in special environments like Cloud Mist Mountain where thunderstorms are frequent. They are extremely rare, and their strength is at least equivalent to a martial artist at the early stage of the Innate Realm. Even experts at the peak of the Innate Realm might not dare to provoke them easily."

"Most importantly, its flesh contains pure lightning energy, and long-term consumption can temper the body. It is also a great tonic for martial artists who cultivate lightning-based techniques."

Her eyes held a hint of longing, but she remained rational: "So whenever Thunder Scorpion meat appears on the market, it's immediately snapped up."

Li Yuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"However, the Yang Yuan Fruit you owe me cannot be easily exchanged for this meat."

Lu Jiayin spoke again: "Yang Yuan Fruit can instantly increase strength, but this meat needs to be eaten and refined with cultivation techniques, so the growth rate of strength is relatively slow."

The price of Yangyuan fruit was previously 10 million yuan online, but now it has been inflated to 100 million yuan, yet it is still available but not sold.

Therefore, even if the price is there, the true value cannot be simply measured in money.

"Then tell me, how do you calculate it?" Li Yuan asked.

Seeing Lu Jiayin's honesty, he wasn't worried that she was trying to fool him.

If the other party hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that the flesh of the Thunder Scorpion was edible.

Furthermore, if the other party hadn't explained it to him, he would have been even more unaware that the meat of the Thunder Scorpion was so valuable, more valuable than gold.

"This pile of flesh of yours, after removing the shell and bones, weighs at least five thousand catties. However, as I told you before, the Yangyuan Fruit is truly priceless and unavailable, and its effects are completely different."

Lu Jiayin thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll take four-fifths? And then we'll include that one million as well, so you won't owe me anything anymore."

"make a deal."

Without wasting any words, Li Yuan agreed immediately.

Anyway, he got this pile of meat for free, and it can be exchanged for a Yang Yuan Fruit to pay off his debt. No matter how you look at it, he's not losing out.

"Why don't you take care of the rest of the meat for me?"

He spoke again: "Anyway, I can't take it away myself, so I can give you some money for your trouble."

"Forget about the trouble fee. Although what I said before was reasonable, I actually got a great deal."

Lu Jiayin said, "I'll also take care of your one-fifth; I'll transfer it directly to your account later."

"Thank you very much then." Li Yuan nodded.

"I should be the one saying thank you."

Lu Jiayin waved, and the two young men outside immediately came in and began carrying the pieces of meat out.

They were clearly prepared, each carrying a large, specially made black plastic bag, and quickly stuffing the meat pieces into the bag.

"By the way, I've already had the tech team analyze the dashcam videos you sent me."

As Lu Jiayin watched her subordinates move things, she said, "One of the videos showed members of the Divine Shadow Society moving things in an abandoned factory. It looked like they were setting up some kind of formation. We've located that location and are currently developing an action plan."

"When do you plan to make your move?" Li Yuan asked.

"We'll have to wait a few more days."

Lu Jiayin shook her head: "That hall master has the strength of the peak of the innate realm. If we just rush in like this, it's like sending ourselves to our deaths."

I've already requested reinforcements from the provincial capital; we'll discuss further once they arrive.

Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, I've found out some information about the strange storage items you asked me to keep an eye out for before," Lu Jiayin suddenly said.

Li Yuan immediately perked up: "What news?"

"In the provincial capital, there's a black market that deals in strange items. I heard that a spatial ring appeared there a couple of days ago, and the cost of using it isn't too high."

Lu Jiayin said, "However, that item was sold very quickly, and I don't know who the buyer is. But once something like this has appeared, it will definitely appear again."

She paused for a moment, then added, "I've already asked a friend over there to keep an eye out. I'll let you know as soon as there's any news."

"Thanks," Li Yuan said sincerely.

"Don't mention it. The information you provided this time was very valuable. The Exorcist Association has decided to give you a major commendation, and you'll receive a lot of points."

Lu Jiayin smiled and said, "Besides, the meat of your Thunder Scorpion is quite a gift to me. With this meat, my strength should be able to improve even further."

After chatting for a while, Lu Jiayin's two men finally packed all the meat, tied it securely with rope, and prepared to carry it down the mountain.

These people were clearly not ordinary people; otherwise, seven or eight ordinary people wouldn't have been able to take away so many things at once.

"Then I'll be going now."

Lu Jiayin stood at the cave entrance, glanced back at Li Yuan, and asked, "How long do you plan to stay in these mountains?"

"It will probably take another three or four days."

Li Yuan said, "I have something to take care of."

"Then be careful."

Lu Jiayin nodded: "This Cloud Mist Mountain is no peaceful place. Besides the Thunder Scorpion, there are supposedly other, even more dangerous monsters. If you encounter any danger you can't handle, call me and I'll find a way to help you."

"understood."

Li Yuan waved his hand and watched Lu Jiayin leave with her men.

Only after their figures disappeared into the woods did Li Yuan turn his gaze away and glance at the plastic bag in the corner.

"If what Lu Jiayin said is true, then just these twenty or so pounds of meat are equivalent to two million, tsk tsk!"

He was amazed.

The most money I've ever seen before was 100,000.

Now, it's common to spend millions.

Moreover, the one-fifth that Lu Jiayin helped him take away was probably about a thousand catties.

That's one hundred million!

Simply outrageous.
