Chapter 44: The Trial Camp!:
The Bloodshed Forest, Trial Camp.
This place could be considered a rest and supply point for the trial participants.
With the formation of the Qingxuan Holy Land in place, demon beasts wouldn't dare to approach, and internal fighting was strictly prohibited.
Ye Wuhen wandered around, having hunted two more one-star demon beasts, and eventually spotted the trial camp, then walked in.
Twenty points.
Hunting demon beasts was slow.
The fastest way to earn points was, of course, by robbing others. So, Ye Wuhen decided to go fishing... If he could catch a big fish, he might get the remaining thirty points quickly.
...
"Hmm? How did a Qi Gathering Realm Realm guy sneak in?"
"Very normal. There are always some who think they can challenge beyond their level!"
"Haha, they don't realize that everyone here for the Qingxuan Holy Land trial is extraordinary. Many can fight above their level!"
"This guy must have just entered on the first day. It's a feat to even make it to the trial camp. I wonder if he dares to go out again, haha!"
The trial camp was a mix of various teams, large and small. Solo participants were rare, and a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator like Ye Wuhen was even rarer, attracting everyone's attention as soon as he entered.
Ye Wuhen was used to this.
He glanced around at the teams and locked his gaze on a group of female cultivators. They were sitting together, roasting meat to replenish their energy. To fish, one must present oneself as a tempting bait. That team had six female cultivators, two of whom were at the middle-stage Meridian Refinement Realm.
One of them, a girl in a light yellow robes, had an aura circulating rapidly around her, indicating she was close to the peak stage. This made their team quite strong in the trial camp.
Most importantly... Ye Wuhen recognized the highest-ranking girl. Her name was Mu Qingqing, and she later successfully joined the Qingxuan Holy Land, where she had some interactions with Ye Wuhen.
"Ladies, would you exchange some meat for a demon core?" Ye Wuhen approached Mu Qingqing and her team, holding out a one-star demon core.
This immediately drew everyone's attention.
Trading a demon core for meat???
This guy must be crazy!
Fresh demon cores were precious points in the Bloodshed Forest.
Was it that hard to roast your own meat?
He was practically giving away points.
"Are you sure?" Mu Qingqing and her team were also surprised.
When Ye Wuhen approached, they thought he wanted to join their team and were ready to refuse. But he turned out to be offering points instead.
"Absolutely sure. Exchanging a demon core for a chance to dine with such beautiful ladies is a great deal!" Ye Wuhen replied with a smile, fully embracing his role as the bait.
The surrounding people sneered.
So young, already blinded by l_ust—he'd never amount to anything!
"Alright, you can eat as much as you want!" Mu Qingqing gave Ye Wuhen a deep look, smiling with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Ye Wuhen didn't hold back.
He sat down, crossed his legs, and started devouring the roasted meat. The girls had done a great job; the meat was juicy and flavorful, and Ye Wuhen enjoyed it immensely.
"If anyone has a jug of good wine, I'd be willing to trade another demon core for it." Ye Wuhen said casually.
"I have it... I have it!" Another female cultivator quickly poured a small jar of wine and handed it to Ye Wuhen.
True to his word, Ye Wuhen gave her a demon core in exchange.
The onlookers were stunned...
Who was this guy? Was he here for the trial or just to enjoy life?
And most importantly, how did a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator have so many demon cores? Could he be a hidden master?
This question arose in everyone's mind.
