"I'm not threatening you just reminding you that we might have a limited amount of demon meat in the future. So we might have to cut down your benefits." Yoze said calmly.
"Fine, I won't ask anymore." Satisfied that she got something, Jewel quickly agreed.
As they traveled onward, Yoze and Jewel continued to chat as they didn't pay any mind to the demon he was dragging behind. After an hour of traveling at a comfortable pace that wouldn't make Jewel sick, they eventually made it to a small town known as Widow Creek.
"Jewel, can you go to the meeting place that we discussed? I should stay outside of town, to keep this guy in check."
Understanding that Yoze had to stay outside so that the demon they were keeping alive temporarily from scaring the people, Jewel agreed. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Yoze give her a request.
"Oh, can you tell them to wait for five days to come meet with me? They should use this time to collect the books I wanted and the money."
Once again nodding her head, Jewel took on the journey of meeting with Timothy and River and acting as Yoze's messenger. By the time Yoze saw her again, five days had passed by and she was followed by River and Timothy who had two bags with them.
"Scholar Yoze, it's nice to see you again. You seem to have gotten quite the catch. I need to thank you for your service and for getting revenge for the fallen people of Deepshed town." River said with admiration in her voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTimothy and River felt a deep respect for Yoze since he was incredible.
It seemed like every time they met he was like a different person. He also seemed capable of completing things that seemed impossible. Even without having reached the Blood Master realm yet he was already slaying demons, an act that should only be for Martial Grandmasters.
Simply standing beside Yoze made them feel as if they were looking at a prime example of what they could achieve in the future. Their admiration for Yoze ran so deep that they wanted to become his student so they could learn how to become as strong as him.
Just the gaping holes that went straight through the Leopard demon's head and heart showed how strong he was. In their minds, they felt he could defeat anything, even immortals would have to be wary of his existence.
"No problem, I'll do it again at any time I have spare time. But did you bring the things?"
Seeing that Timothy and River were in good condition Yoze smiled but he knew that they were ready to start with the transaction.
"Yes, history books, three body cultivation manuals, two fist martial art techniques, two movement techniques, three weapon martial art techniques, and of course 80,000 silver. 40,000 for the flesh and another 40,000 for the demon's skeleton. Of course, you can convert that into gold." As Timothy listed out all the items he took them out of the bags and handed them to Yoze.
Taking a look at the books' titles and their brief descriptions, Yoze noticed that all the martial art books were all limited to the peak of a first-rate martial artist. The history books were not under any restrictions going over New Swampscott City's history and information about the four regions surrounding the Charred region.
However, Yoze didn't mind that the City was being a bit selfish and stubborn right now. It was their first transaction and If they gave him everything he wanted in one go, who could say he wouldn't change his mind and start doing business with the martial art sects.
"This is good, but I don't see the advanced version of Iron Skin in the books you gave me."
However, there was one book he had requested but it wasn't in the pile of books Timothy had passed to him, Iron Muscles. After fighting three demons Yoze knew how much of an urgent need he had to increase his defenses.
He had even held off on trying to break the limits of the Iron Skin body cultivation method since he wanted to just use the advanced version. But if the City wouldn't give it to him it would be best for him to break through Iron Skin on his own.
"About that Scholar Yoze, Iron Skin is a body cultivation that is found in most regions but the advanced versions like Iron Muscles are usually only found in the Jade region. The City has sent people to go buy it from Jade City it would take some time and extra demon meat. I hope that you understand." River apologizes to Yoze.
She knew that one of Yoze's few specific requests was for the advanced versions of Iron Skin. And she, Timothy, Jewel, and Yoze all knew that it was bull crap.
While it was true that the most advanced versions of Iron Skin were found only in the Jade region, that was only for Martial Grandmaster versions and the alternative versions of it. The City could easily bring out a Blood Master version of Iron Skin, much less Iron Muscles, and give it to Yoze.
Yet the City was willing to play this small trick to delay giving Yoze what he wanted because they feared he was already too strong. It was known to many in the government that Yoze wasn't a Blood Master yet he could kill demons.
Once he became a Blood Master how strong would he be? Would demons be just a joke to him or could he start to threaten the Immortals themselves?
These were questions that the top officials didn't have answers for yet and didn't want to deal with it yet. So they could only delay the inevitable as much as they could until they figured out how they should respond.
"Forget it, the Leopard demon corpse weighs around 80 tons. You can take the skeleton and the flesh, just leave me 10 tons." Understanding the City's point of view Yoze didn't make a scene.
He might be working with New Swampscott City at the moment but Yoze wasn't loyal to them. He would reach the Blood Master whether they helped him or not.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for the rest of the books he was mostly interested in history books and weapons techniques. The history books were for Yoze to increase his knowledge and understanding of this world.
As for the weapon techniques, he wanted to make use of his other weapon talents and use them to supplement his future breakthroughs. Yoze then pulled up his system panel and noticed that it had added more talent categories since the last time he pulled it up.
[Name: Yoze]
[Age: 23 ]
[Talents Categories: Comprehension, Art, Physical, Martial Arts, Spiritual, Crystal Talents, Weapon, Hunting, Other]
[Technique Categories: Martial Arts, Blood Arts, Spiritual Arts, Crystal Arts]
[Talent Mark: 1]
Yoze's eyes immediately snapped to the weapon talent section, and he pulled it up to check how many talents related to weaponry he had collected.
[Weapon Talents]
[Sword Art (Grade 7), Spear Art (Grade 2), Axe Arts (Grade 7), Shield Arts (Grade 3), Stick Arts (Grade 9), Shoe Arts (Grade 9), Spearmanship (Grade 6), Swordsmanship (Grade 4)]
After noting that he had collected six different talents related to weapons, Yoze saw that the books he received covered the spear, axe, and shield but not any sword techniques. The spear technique was called Spear Archer, the axe technique was called Tree Chopper, and the Shield technique was given the title of Defender.
"They are even not willing to give me more sword arts because they know I'm practicing the Armor Swordsman martial art set." Yoze looked at the three weapon books and felt that they were incredibly basic.
