Li Rui watched the two groups arguing with amusement, thinking to himself that if they could just fight instead of wasting time on meaningless chatter, it would be better. However, such a wishful thought was not something that could easily come true in this world.
After a while, the tension that had been building up between the two groups began to dissipate. To his surprise, they actually reconciled!
Seeing the backs of the two groups as they dispersed, Li Rui felt bored.
Since the show was over, he decided to focus on his own matters.
Channeling Source Power, Li Rui slowly withdrew from this troublesome place. Once he reached the main road, he wasn't worried about being sensed by other cultivators. As he walked, he communicated with the Qilin beast inside him, saying, "Qilin, what should we do next?"
The Qilin beast inside him replied irritably, "What do you want to do? Why are you asking me? And can you stop calling me Qilin! If we go by age, I could easily be your grandfather."
Li Rui smirked, completely disregarding the Qilin beast's words. He said to himself, "Then let's go eat. The food at that inn we passed earlier is pretty good. What do you think, Qilin?"
The Qilin beast was momentarily speechless and nearly roared back, "Stop calling me Qilin!"
Li Rui chuckled. With nothing else to do, teasing the Qilin beast inside him was indeed the best way to relax. After all, his body wasn't a public space; if it was going to host the Qilin beast and require his help for cultivation, it should at least pay some rent.
While chatting with the Qilin beast inside him, Li Rui soon arrived at the inn's entrance.
The Qilin beast used telepathy to ask Li Rui, "Are we really going to eat? Don't tell me you forgot I can't eat and you're just trying to provoke me with this?"
This level of intelligence...
Li Rui helplessly replied through telepathy, "Qilin, did you forget about the ammunition we got a few days ago? I want to study it; it might be useful for us! Seriously, can your brain function for once? You still want to act like my grandfather?"
"You!"
Li Rui's internal Qilin beast roared various sounds through telepathy, but Li Rui ignored it and walked into the inn.
As soon as Li Rui entered the inn, Shop Two rushed over and respectfully asked, "Sir, are you here to eat or to stay?"
With a headache from the noise of the Qilin beast inside him, Li Rui rubbed his forehead and asked Shop Two, "Do you have any rooms available?"
A hint of joy flashed across Shop Two's face. The price for a room was quite high, and it seemed that this distinguished gentleman must be wealthy. With that thought, Shop Two's attitude became even more respectful. He quickly bent down to clear a path for Li Rui and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Please follow me, sir."
"Mm." Li Rui nodded and followed behind Shop Two to the back of the inn.
Shop Two led Li Rui to a room. As soon as Li Rui entered, he handed some money to Shop Two and instructed him not to disturb him unless necessary.
For Li Rui, that amount of money was just a fee, but it could cover three months' wages for an ordinary Shop Two. Tempted by this source of evil money, Shop Two nodded eagerly and then left.
Only Li Rui remained in the room.
Li Rui looked around the room. Although it was not large, it was elegantly decorated and quiet, living up to its reputation as a premium room. Regardless of how the room was arranged, it was not the focus for Li Rui. He quietly released his Source Power, covering every corner of the room with it.
From the information conveyed by his Source Power, there was nothing special in the room except for a mouse hole in the corner. With this information, Li Rui felt reassured. He turned around and locked the door before mobilizing his Source Power to take out the ammunition he had obtained earlier.
At that moment, the Qilin beast inside him, which had just quieted down for a while, said to Li Rui, "Wrap this ammunition with your Source Power. When we disassemble it, we might expose our location. While I'm not worried about you getting blown up, I would find it quite annoying if you were left half-dead."
Li Rui felt warmth in his heart and nodded, using his Source Power to wrap the ammunition.
"Ha..." Li Rui exhaled deeply to calm himself down. At this time, the Qilin beast inside him also cooperatively quieted down, worried that its voice might mislead Li Rui.
Body and mind in unity, in optimal condition.
Li Rui began to take action, first dismantling the shell of the ammunition. As soon as the shell was removed, Li Rui frowned.
In Li Rui's understanding, there should be gunpowder inside such things as ammunition. However, once opened, it turned out to contain some light blue powder!
Having lived this long, Li Rui had heard of yellow gunpowder and black gunpowder, but he had never heard of something called blue gunpowder. Under the coverage of Source Power, Li Rui even sensed the presence of energy within these light blue powders.
What on earth is going on?
Li Rui asked the Qilin beast within him, "Qilin, do you know what this is? I sense energy, but I'm not sure what it is."
The Qilin beast inside Li Rui replied uncertainly, "Li Rui, pour it out for me to see."
Following the Qilin's words, Li Rui poured out the ammunition. Within a few minutes, he heard the voice of the Qilin beast in his body exclaiming, "I know! It's a Monster Crystal Core! Amazing!"
Monster Crystal Core.
Li Rui asked in confusion, "What is a Monster Crystal Core? Is it useful to you?"
"Of course it is!"
The Qilin beast inside Li Rui said excitedly, "The Monster Crystal Core is something formed in the Dantian of a monster. Humans can't use this stuff, but for magical beasts, it's a great tonic! Especially suitable for a divine beast like me! If I had a large number of Monster Crystal Cores, my cultivation would definitely be smooth sailing!"
"Is it that powerful?" Li Rui looked somewhat skeptical, and the Qilin beast inside him said, "Wait a moment!"
A flash of light appeared, and the blue powder vanished, leaving only a small amount of black Crystal on the table. Li Rui clearly sensed that the energy of the Qilin Beast within him had instantly increased!
This is possible too!
Li Rui looked dumbfounded, and the Qilin Beast inside him proudly said, "Now you know how powerful I am, right? Those things on the table can't be absorbed; they must be something else. Hey, Li Rui, do you have a way to get more of this kind of ammunition? This ammunition is really useful for me!"
Get more ammunition.
The corners of Li Rui's mouth curved slightly upward, a glint of mischief in his eyes. He crossed his arms and smiled as he asked, "Qilin, is this really helpful for you?"
"Yes, it really is! It's definitely very helpful for me!" the Qilin Beast inside Li Rui replied firmly.
"Great! Then let's go get more of this ammunition!"
"Yay!" the Qilin Beast cheered. It knew that with Li Rui's personality, he would definitely help him!
