Chapter 467: As an Alchemist, Being a Little Greedy is Also a Matter of Course, Right?

"Moreover, if my guess is not wrong, the cave we just walked through might even very likely be the Beast Emperor's shrunken blood vessels."

Lan Qingyou's explanation was impeccable.

Or rather, since everyone knew that the other party's Demon Eye was an eye capable of appraising, they all felt her statements regarding this type of item were very authoritative.

"Then you take it. The reason we came in this time was to find this thing anyway. And according to the initial agreement, this thing belongs to you in the first place."

Vivian waved her hand and said carelessly.

Although she hadn't remembered this part before, after being reminded, she recalled that agreement.

Naturally, she wouldn't go back on something agreed upon before departing, even if this thing did look very precious.

After all, it was the product of some Beast Emperor's heart drying out.

"Hmm... although I want to as well, there's still a problem right now."

But just like she said, there was a problem.

"What problem?"

"This thing got stuck to the Beast Emperor's body below during the solidification process."

Lan Qingyou said with slight concern.

She had discovered this point during her inspection just now.

Furthermore, through her Demon Eye, she had also seen some unbelievable things, which led her to make this judgment.

"You mean it can't be collected?"

"It's not that it can't be collected, but I'm worried a problem will occur after collecting it. After all, we're currently inside the Beast Emperor's body, so it wouldn't be strange no matter what happens."

Isn't that right? It was because this small hill was the Beast Emperor's body that no monsters spawned.

But having no monsters spawn was the most terrifying thing.

Because that meant the Beast Emperor's body was far superior to those level forty-something monsters.

Again, the fewer the monsters, the greater the trouble.

So Lan Qingyou had no choice but to be cautious.

"Then what should we do?"

Gu Xiaobei was dumbfounded.

"You guys leave first, and I'll go out quickly after taking it?"

Now that things had come to this, this thing had to be taken away no matter what. It was just that the method of taking it away might be a bit troublesome and require some particularity.

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"Will you be okay staying behind alone?"

Vivian asked a question.

Her tone didn't contain any worry; it really was just a simple, casual question.

After all, this was the Tower Witch; she should be able to handle this little matter herself.

Not just her, the others were the same.

Rather than saying they trusted Lan Qingyou, it was more accurate to say they believed in Lan Qingyou's strength.

"It should be no problem."

Lan Qingyou nodded.

Thus.

After looking at each other and discussing for a bit, everyone quickly evacuated the area.

"Phew..."

When everyone had left, Lan Qingyou exhaled a breath of stale air.

She then rode her magic broom to the Beast Emperor Ore, reached out and gently touched it, and then closed her eyes.

This thing was the Beast Emperor's heart.

There was only one such existence per Beast Emperor; its preciousness goes without saying. It's just that thinking about how she had been trapped in a dungeon for ten months for this thing, and still didn't know when she could get out.

To be honest, Lan Qingyou personally felt it was a bit of a loss.

It fundamentally didn't amount to Equivalent Exchange.

She wasn't clear on what role the Supreme Council, who released the information, played in this, but there was one point worth reflecting on.

And that was relying too much on others for intelligence.

Previous intelligence had always relied on Shang Chuan, the World Channel, the Supreme Council, and the people in the Manor to provide.

Whether it was bought with money or with supplies.

But this resulted in the current situation.

So if she had the chance to get out, it would be best to establish her own intelligence system afterwards.

People like those in the Tourism Department who liked to dart around outside were very suitable for doing this kind of thing.

Of course, the most important thing was that she didn't know what it was like outside now.

One must know that the growth speed of transmigrators was very fast, especially in a place like this with no artificial rules.

Ten months of time was enough to change many things.

Lan Qingyou, who was resting with her eyes closed, finally slowly opened her eyes after waiting for about half an hour.

Half an hour should be enough time for those guys to leave this place, right.

Lan Qingyou estimated, and then drew the Moonbright Stone Dagger from her waist.

With one hand placed on the Beast Emperor Ore, Lan Qingyou focused all her attention on the area below the ore.

This total focus referred to the kind of absolute concentration that even utilized Alice's 'Meditation Method'. One could imagine how much importance Lan Qingyou attached to this small action.

"Then, let's begin."

As if cheering herself on, Lan Qingyou carefully applied her talent to the Beast Emperor Ore, and then slowly 'lifted' the ore up.

That's why talents are so useful.

This Beast Emperor Ore, which looked very heavy, was easily lifted up with a slight pull in front of Lan Qingyou's talent, and Lan Qingyou didn't even expend much Mana Value.

She mentioned before that the ore and the body below were connected due to solidification.

But there was one point Lan Qingyou didn't mention.

And that was that although the heart and the body were indeed connected together, it wasn't because of solidification.

Rather, it was because the body was 'unwilling' to let the heart leave and forcefully entangled its bottom.

After all, the heart was the place that supplied mana.

Yes.

Even though it had turned into an incomplete ore, at this moment, the Beast Emperor's heart was continuously absorbing mana from the surrounding air and converting it into its own mana to supply the body's usage.

In other words, this small hill formed after the Beast Emperor's body weathered was actually still 'alive' in a certain sense.

It was exactly because of this reason that Lan Qingyou asked everyone to leave, because she herself couldn't be certain what kind of reaction this body, which was still 'alive' up to now, would have if she took the heart away.

"Phew~~~~"

Lan Qingyou looked at the red, thread-like objects stubbornly clinging below the slowly lifted ore, and the tender pink meat below the meat threads, and exhaled another breath of stale air.

Lifting it was one thing, but it was just lifting it.

No one knew what would happen when she actually made the cut later.

But she had already invested ten months of time to obtain this ore. With such a high sunk cost, no matter what happened, this thing had to be taken away.

Thinking this, Lan Qingyou couldn't care about anything else. After flying a little lower, she began to clear those thread-like objects connected to the ore.

It was just that Lan Qingyou didn't cut from the ore portion, but directly started on the tender meat below the thread-like objects.

Like using a spoon to scoop watermelon to eat, she 'uprooted' the tender meat below the thread-like objects along with them.

One must know that these thread-like objects were, no matter what, the meat of the Beast Emperor; no matter how you looked at it, they should exist as alchemy materials.

That's why she made this move.

Although Lan Qingyou seemed very greedy.

But as an alchemist, being a little greedy is also a matter of course, right?
