Chapter 37 - Direct Upgrade

The next day, after the one-click learning function’s cooldown had ended, Lin Luo picked “Concealment,” a high-tier martial arts technique.

Although the concealment technique couldn’t make a person completely invisible, it could conceal their aura. As long as one didn’t use spiritual power to make a move and didn’t speak when one cultivated it to an advanced level, the other party wouldn’t notice you even if you passed directly in front of them.

The green-leaf snake stuck close to the human-faced spider, and if it caused a huge commotion, it might just attract the spider.

Furthermore, with Lin Luo’s current cultivation, he definitely wouldn’t be able to take it if he provoked a nest of green-leaf snakes.

The green leaf snake was the top of the level five monsters. When there were many of them, they could be compared to level-six monsters.

If it was a nest of green-leaf snakes, even a level-seven beast would have to take a detour.

Hundreds of level-five monsters attacking at the same time were no laughing matter.

“System, how many spirit stones do I need to cultivate the hiding skill to the advanced level?”

[Calculating, please wait…]

[Calculation completed. One million spirit stones are required to cultivate the hiding technique directly to the advanced level.]

“Good, I’ll directly upgrade the autumn leaf saber and concealment to the advanced level!”

If he wanted to obtain the green leaf snake’s gallbladder and auction it off, he would have to master both the concealment technique and the autumn leaf saber to the highest level. Only then would he be able to obtain as many snake galls as possible without alerting the nest.

[Consumed one million spirit stones to successfully cultivate ‘concealment’ to the advanced level]

[980000 spirit stones consumed to cultivate ‘autumn leaf saber’ to advanced level]

“By the way, system, can I directly drop things into the homeland? Is there any way to preserve the snake galls?”

The snake galls couldn’t be stored for long. These things were stored in wooden or hade boxes with spiritual power.

However, Lin Luo would be hunting more and more exotic beasts in the future. He would definitely keep some useful exotic beasts for himself. He couldn’t just keep a huge pile of boxes for himself, right?

Not to mention anything else, just buying so many boxes would attract attention.

“If we can plant a spirit vein mine in our homeland, our homeland will have the ability to keep fresh in the future. Whether it’s exotic beast meat or plants, as long as they are in our homeland, they will be able to remain unchanged and will not go bad.

A spirit vein mine?

My word!

Where was he supposed to find a spirit vein mine? he might as well find a way to solve the problem at the auction house.

As if sensing Lin Luo’s thoughts, the system’s voice sounded again.

[The auction house built a warehouse using spiritual wood. With the addition of an array, it can ensure that the goods will not deteriorate for half a month.]

[The host does not need spiritual energy concentration, but Lin Meng’er’s cultivation needs spiritual energy. The villa’s spiritual energy is too weak. In addition, when you upgrade one-button home, there will be requirements for the spiritual vein mine.]

Only then did Lin Luo realize that he didn’t need a high concentration of spirit energy, but Lin Meng’er did!

“Let’s talk about it later. We can’t find the spirit vein mine in a short time now.” Lin Luo had a headache.

Now, he could give the spirit stones to Meng’er for her cultivation. After he dealt with the green leaf snake, he would think of a way to find a spirit vein mine.

However, now that his homeland couldn’t keep the food fresh, he couldn’t kill too many green leaf snakes ‘galls at once.

Then, let’s kill ten first.

He would keep seven for himself, three for Meng’er to eat, four in jade boxes, and the other three for auction.

After making up his mind, Lin Luo didn’t delay any longer. He changed into a Daoist robe and Daoist shoes. Even the belt he wore was a piece of defensive equipment.

Fortunately, he had worn this set a lot when fighting, so it was tight-fitting. It was not a burden.

He tidied up a warehouse and left the city gate after saying goodbye to Lin Meng’er.

Lin Luo’s ability to attract heavenly lightning had become a thunderous name in the three core cities!

When he registered at the city gate, those people were much more respectful when they heard he was Lin Luo.

“Be careful when you leave the city, Mister Lin.” The martial artist guarding the city laughed.

The martial artists registering outside the city were also sizing Lin Luo up, either openly or secretly.

Lin Luo nodded and calmly left the city.

After Lin Luo left the city, a team of exotic beasts had different expressions.

“Go back and tell the clan that the rest of you will follow Lin Luo.”

The exotic beast team’s leader lowered his voice and instructed his team members.

Not long after leaving the city, Lin Luo realized someone was following him.

Good Lord. I rarely venture out of the city, yet I’ve got someone tailing me.

He immediately activated the flying bird spell and left the sight of the group of people behind him. Then, he quickly summoned his clone.

The three identical Lin Luo stood in place.

Lin Luo had one of the clones put on a mask while the other flew along another path.

Not long after, Lin Luo, who was hiding in the dark, saw five people chasing after the clone.

“Little guy!”

Lin Luo laughed smugly. He also put on his mask and, with his clone, flew towards the green leaf snake’s nest.

The two of them activated their concealment skills.

Although Lin Luo had used the flying bird spell and couldn’t completely hide himself, he could reduce his presence and aura.

When he passed by the exotic beast, even if it sensed something was wrong, he would have already left by the time it reacted.

Lin Luo arrived at the green leaf snake’s territory without any mishaps.

He didn’t use the flying bird spell again. He looked at the large and dense bushes in front of him and asked, “This is the place, right?”

“Yes.” The clone was a man of few words.

Besides a few hills, the place in front of them was almost covered with short shrubs.

Although it was called a forest of short shrubs, in reality, these short shrubs were about the height of a person.

However, there was almost no place to step on.

“The green leaf snake’s nest is inside. There’s a hole in the hill in the middle of the bushes. That’s the snake’s hole.

Lin Luo clicked his tongue. “This Bush is too dense.”

As long as they walked in, these shrubs would definitely make a good amount of noise, and the concealment technique would be useless.

“I have to think of a way to lure them out.”

Lin Luo had an idea. cut your hand. They will definitely come over when they smell the blood. I will hide in the dark and kill the snakes for their galls.

“Alright,” he said.

Lin Luo put on a pair of gloves.

Apart from the skin, the green leaf snake’s meat was poisonous. Although the poison could only make people faint and had to be ingested, Lin Luo still put on gloves just in case.

Otherwise, taking the snake’s gall with his bare hands and getting covered in blood would be too disgusting.

Lin Luo unsheathed his broadsword, and the clone cut his wrist. Blood flowed down his fingers to the ground.

In order to prevent detection in the event of his using spiritual power, Lin Luo decided to use his broadsword to cut directly.

The sword was a level 7 piece of equipment, so it should have no problem killing a level 5 green-leaf snake with low defense.

The green-leaf snake was mainly poisonous and could spray venom, but its actual defense was only the size of an arm.

Hiss…

The sound of snakes slithering and hissing could be heard. Lin Luo gripped his broadsword tightly and was about to attack.

He had just raised his sword when he was shocked by the green leaf snake that crawled out of the bushes!
