His breathing was deep and steady as he circulated his Magical Power according to the pathways of the Ghost Water Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, dark clouds pressed down like a besieging army as a torrential rain fell. Inside, a single lamp cast a bright light, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this serene environment, Su Ye’s cultivation progressed much more smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye opened his star-bright eyes, let out a long breath of impure air, and said with delight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Gray Ridge Whale meat truly is extraordinary. The progress I made with my Magical Power today is several times greater than usual!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I could eat this meat every day, even without the help of Spirit Pills or a Spirit Vein, I could advance to the third level of Qi Refining in half a year at most!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Early-stage Qi Refining realm was the beginning of the cultivation journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivator’s meridians were fragile, and even those with high-grade Spiritual Roots had a daily limit to how long they could cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This held true for anyone short of a top-tier genius of legend—those with an Earth Spiritual Root, a Celestial Spiritual Root, or even a special Dao Body or Spirit Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Early-stage Qi Refining realm, the influence of aptitude had not yet created a world of difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one had sufficient resources—consuming large quantities of Spiritual Objects and Spirit Pills to nourish their meridians—even someone with a low-grade Spiritual Root could advance with great vigor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s a shame the Gray Ridge Whale meat is so expensive. The dream of eating it every day is probably impossible...’ Su Ye shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a crewman on the Demon Hunting Ship, the most he could do was buy some of the whale meat for himself at a relatively low price when they disembarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Su Ye finished his thoughts and was about to put out the lamp and go to sleep,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a Magic explosion echoed from a distance, ringing through the cabins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\" Su Ye was instantly on alert, his heart tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flying Serpent prohibited crew members from using magic to fight privately. Violators would be severely punished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment later, BOOM! RUMBLE! Another series of explosions and clashes from Magic and Magical Artifacts thundered out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even on this stormy night, the sounds were incredibly piercing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is trouble...’ Su Ye’s brow furrowed, confirming his suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There’s no mistake. This commotion... it’s definitely a mutiny!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Luo Family’s cabins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators of the Luo Family were all resting here, separated from the Loose Cultivators and crew members with other surnames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was originally a form of preferential treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the comfortable and spacious Luo Family cabins were filled with the stench of blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls were splattered with fresh blood, and the floor was covered in frozen, severed limbs and chunks of flesh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the power of the Ice Blade Technique that had been sealed within the steward’s Jade Pendant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a surprise attack, Menghou had used this one move to kill several cultivators from the Luo Family instantly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHINK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wielding a butcher knife, Menghou plunged it into the chest of the Luo Family cultivator before him, watching as the man’s eyes lost focus and he collapsed into a pool of blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, filled with glee, he took the small pouch from the man’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He weighed it in his hand, gave it a gentle shake, and grinned as he heard the crisp clinking of Spirit Stones inside. He couldn’t help but curse with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, these main family cultivators are loaded!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, several Loose Cultivators were attacking the other members of the Luo Family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the helpers Menghou had roped in by claiming the captain and others were already dead, and by promising them a hefty profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great profit sways the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an ordinary Loose Cultivator, while a mutiny to seize a ship was risky, it also represented an astonishing opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An opportunity to easily obtain several hundred, or even over a thousand, Spirit Stones might never come again in their lifetimes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Luo Family cultivators being overpowered and killed one after another, Menghou grinned, filled with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh... Serves you right for acting so high and mighty all the time, looking down on us outsiders and Loose Cultivators!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He counted the bodies on the floor. There were about twelve in total, nine of whom were Luo Family cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, his mind was put at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many Luo Family cultivators on the ship to begin with—only about a dozen or so, even including the management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a few scattered Luo Family members weren’t here and had luckily escaped the slaughter, they wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll just find them and kill them later.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As for the other crew members... Cultivators are selfish by nature. With all the Luo Family dead, why would the outsiders and Loose Cultivators stick their necks out for them?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’At most, I’ll just have to share some of the profits to buy them off...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought of this, Menghou’s eyes suddenly narrowed. A figure came to mind, and a flicker of displeasure rose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Su Ye...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Feng Dequan had given him orders, Menghou had just committed a major deed and killed several people with his own hands. His blood was pumping!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hmph! As long as I kill him, is Feng really going to punish me—someone who’s followed him for so long—over a dead man?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s all this about him being \"hard to take down\"? Su Ye is just a measly second-level Qi Refining cultivator. So what if he has a Magical Artifact?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Menghou muttered this, a vicious look flashed in his eyes, and he walked out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from the Luo Family’s cabins, Zhao Li, who had heard the commotion and crept over to investigate, was crouched in the shadows with a nervous expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, he saw Menghou step out of the room with a ferocious look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was muttering words like \"Su Ye\" and \"second-level Qi Refining.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s that guy? He’s turned on the main family, and now he’s going after Mr. Su?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I have to tell Mr. Su right away!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horrified, Zhao Li turned and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\" Just then, Menghou’s eyes flickered, and he caught sight of Zhao Li’s retreating back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That person... isn’t he on good terms with Su Ye?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Then I might as well kill them both!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A savage expression crossed Menghou’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the vast sea, risking their lives to hunt demons, every crewman on a Demon Hunting Ship concealed a deep-seated brutality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the strict rules that had once suppressed this brutality had completely shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before a blood-crazed fiend like Menghou,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>human life was as worthless as grass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat, time to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye gripped his Blood-Drinking Spear, its tip pointed toward the floor, and walked out of his room step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corridor of the middle-deck cabins was much more spacious than the one on the lower deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the doors on both sides of the corridor were shut tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye pricked up his ears. After his profession level increased, his physique had been strengthened in all aspects, making his senses exceptionally sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening closely, he could hear faint movements and even the sound of nervous breathing from within the rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These crew members had obviously realized what was happening on the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they had chosen to protect themselves by staying out of it and remaining neutral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were waiting for dawn, at which point they would pay their respects to the final victor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is one way to survive,\" Su Ye remarked, his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large, ocean-faring vessel like the Flying Serpent could not be operated by one person alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter who won or lost, they couldn’t just slaughter all the innocent bystanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, that is not the path I choose!\" Su Ye gripped his Blood-Drinking Spear, his eyes deep and profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the boons of his panel and his exclusive skills, he was no longer willing to just go with the flow and beg for the mercy of others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Su Ye’s brow twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin, dark-skinned boy, stained with blood, stumbled into the middle-deck cabins and collapsed on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Zhao Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed himself up, saw Su Ye in the corridor, and cried out anxiously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su, watch out! Menghou and his gang have rebelled...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, a boot slammed down on Zhao Li’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted in a savage grin and radiating a palpable Evil Qi, Menghou strode in from the outer cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Ye? You’ve saved me the trouble of hunting you down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a vicious laugh and lunged forward to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His malice was so obvious that no words were necessary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s expression turned cold as he raised the Blood-Drinking Spear...\u003C\u002Fp>",1522,"2026-06-05T21:02:39.035Z",1,"novelbin.me","3491ef06f00eec783824cd80aa55a7b6e3cdf60dd8e1903590608046248ee843","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-15","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-13",236,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-cover.jpg"]
