As his strength grew, Ye Ningze became even more cautious.
After all, only by becoming stronger could one truly recognize their limitations.
If he were too ostentatious, he would undoubtedly invite disaster!
Ye Ningze admonished himself silently.
Regardless of anything else.
His cultivation had already broken through the Grandmaster realm, and he was only a short distance from its peak.
With effort, he believed he would eventually ascend to that realm and become a Grandmaster expert.
*Hoo~*
Taking a deep breath, Ye Ningze calmed his mind and continued to cultivate where he sat.
His current strength was not yet stable. While breaking through to the Grandmaster realm in the dense forest was cause for celebration, consolidating his foundation was always the most crucial matter.
If his foundation were not solid enough, his strength might completely stagnate and halt his progress on some future day.
Ye Ningze did not want such a thing to happen to him.
*Whoosh whoosh~*
Time trickled by, and Ye Ningze's breathing gradually became steady, his entire being appearing to be in a state of deep meditation.
This scene looked quite peculiar.
However, Ye Ning泽 was indeed in such a state.
His physical body was being tempered, integrating the vast amounts of true essence into his flesh and blood, undergoing transformation and metamorphosis.
An hour later, Ye Ningze opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.
Under his internal gaze, he felt as if his body had become much stronger.
A terrifying power surged within him, his physique becoming purer, more robust, and more resilient.
It seems my strength hasn't just increased; this body is several times more powerful than before!
Is this the terrifying aspect of a Grandmaster realm expert?
Ye Ningze marveled.
With my current strength, I should even have a fighting chance against an attack from an ordinary early-stage Grandmaster martial artist!
Ye Ningze thought to himself.
My current physique should be able to withstand a powerful punch from a Grandmaster realm martial artist.
However, it's best not to engage in such cross-level combat. Grandmaster realm martial artists surely have many trump cards for survival.
Ye Ningze mused inwardly.
During this period, Ye Ningze had already grasped some of the characteristics of Grandmaster realm experts, thus possessing a certain degree of self-preservation ability now.
Furthermore, this secret was known only to him, and he had not imparted it to anyone.
His current physique was one of his most potent trump cards!
After absorbing the ferocious beast blood and solidifying his cultivation realm, Ye Ningze fell into contemplation.
Aside from the ferocious beast blood, he had also harvested a large quantity of ferocious beast meat and bones on this trip.
Ye Ningze had no use for these items himself.
Should he sell them all? They should fetch a considerable sum, shouldn't they?
As a cultivator, one naturally had to spend a lot of money.
Whether it was weapons he needed, medicinal herbs he might require in the future, or even cultivation techniques, all these things demanded immense capital.
And yet, he was currently a pauper.
Thinking this, Ye Ningze sighed softly, "Alas, it's painful to be without wealth."
Ye Ningze gathered his proof and headed directly to a black market he had heard of.
It was rumored that one could trade ferocious beast carcasses there.
And ferocious beasts could fetch a good price.
Ye Ningze arrived at the market, found a spot, and sat down at a table with chairs in a corner.
There weren't many people here, but everyone was dressed very luxuriously, clearly the disciples of wealthy families.
And in this place, a large amount of ferocious beast meat was being sold.
Ye Ningze stopped in front of a counter.
He took out the relevant proof he held and handed it to the owner, "These are the carcasses and bones of the ferocious beasts I possess. I wish to sell them. How much do you think they are worth?"
Upon hearing Ye Ningze's words, the owner looked up at him, then took the proof Ye Ningze handed over. After carefully examining it, the owner's expression flickered slightly.
The owner said with a smile, "You have so many ferocious beast carcasses and bones. Are you sure you want to sell them all to us?"
"Of course, I'm sure. You should be able to sell these items for a good price. I trust you!"
Ye Ningze replied.
Hearing Ye Ningze's words, the owner's smile became even more radiant.
"Very well, I shall process this for you. Please wait a moment."
The owner said.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble." Ye Ningze nodded.
"This way, please." The owner extended his palm and beckoned towards another area, signaling Ye Ningze to move elsewhere.
Walking to the spot indicated by the owner, Ye Ningze saw a counter on the other side of the hall.
Inside were displayed various weapons, elixirs, martial skills, spiritual herbs, pill recipes, and so on.
Among these weapons were quite a few Yuan weapons, all very precious and rare items.
Ye Ningze's eyes immediately lit up.
These items should be able to sell for very high prices, shouldn't they?
Ye Ningze thought to himself.
Instantly, he couldn't help but feel envious. The cheapest Yuan weapon among them cost seven hundred million, a price Ye Ningze could not possibly afford at the moment.
Alas, for now, he could only feast his eyes.
Soon, the owner returned with a contract and respectfully said to Ye Ningze, "Sir, your ferocious beasts can fetch twelve million. Do you agree to the transaction?"
"Agreed."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningze readily accepted.
"Thank you for your support. We shall begin the handover procedures now," the owner said with a smile.
"Alright, let's begin!"
Although twelve million sounded like a lot, Ye Ningze knew that this amount was far from enough for his cultivation.
He still needed to hunt more ferocious beasts, refine pills, and improve his strength.
In that context, twelve million was merely a small undertaking.
Subsequently, the owner handed a bank card to Ye Ningze.
Ye Ningze looked around. The owner couldn't help but inquire, "Sir, are there any goods you fancy?"
Ye Ningze hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you have any cultivation techniques here? Intermediate, or advanced cultivation techniques?"
