Chapter 606: Feeling as If My Body Has Been Emptied

The two people opposite each other chatted about what to do with this bundle of valuables, the long‑curly‑haired Beastfolk sniveling and pouting.

"Wu Yue, these gems may not be much use to you, but they're still very precious in our Sea Tribe; if you only give two candles, I can't trade them to you."

Wu Yue's eyes flickered: "Just give me one of each color and type of gem; that'll be plenty for decorating the house."

Yuan Lang, hearing that, stood up, took two candles from a basket in the corner, and handed them to the long‑curly‑haired Beastfolk with a look saying "You really got a great deal."

That reluctant look actually made the long‑curly‑haired Beastfolk feel a bit like they had taken advantage of someone else.

"Tui! Clearly I'm the one who lost out."

These gems might all contain shamanic energy.

The Beastfolk of the Sea Tribe didn't notice; Wu Yue's hands paused for a moment when she took those gems.

At that moment, Tongzi's excited little voice kept ringing in her mind.

"Dog host, you really got a bargain—these gems actually all contain shamanic power; they're a natural way to quickly replenish shamanic power."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and trade for more—your cultivation speed will shoot up like a rocket, whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Wu Yue heard that, felt it a moment, then picked up a green gem brimming with life force and began to absorb it; a gentle, moist energy flowed along her arm, nourishing her body, making her feel as if she were wrapped in life force, almost unable to hold back a moan.

In the eyes of the few nearby, they saw Wu Yue, holding a green gem, suddenly close her eyes in enjoyment, her whole body seeming to be shrouded in a light green mist, the surrounding air gradually filling with a refreshing, faint fragrance.

Although they were doubtful, no one spoke up to interrupt the obviously immersed female cultivator.

After a while, Wu Yue slowly opened her eyes; the light green mist around her surged inward in a rush.

Her eyes bright, she looked at the long‑curly‑haired Beastfolk gazing eagerly at her: "I never thought this pretty‑looking stone would actually contain shamanic power."

She smiled at the candle tightly gripped in the long‑curly‑haired Beastfolk's hand: "It seems trading just two candles really means I got the better of you."

The long‑curly‑haired Beastfolk nodded foolishly, then nodded again with an unhappy expression: "Ah… I took a huge loss."

Meow, the precious gems in the sea are all valuable, but few contain shamanic energy; only those few favored by the Beast God can obtain them.

If a tribesperson hunting in the sea obtained a gem containing shamanic energy, they could trade it with the tribe's shaman or even their own father for land, food, or even a female.

A single gem could truly launch one to the peak of beast‑kind existence.

He looked at his pale, knuckly hands with a bitter expression, wondering why he hadn't noticed that his bundle still held a gem containing shamanic energy.

Moreover, those precious gems have already been absorbed; now there's no chance to exchange them back, and the long‑curly‑haired Beastfolk's face fell into a miserable expression, feeling as if his body had been emptied.
