Did he really earn all that money just from selling monster cores? I can't imagine how many monster cores one would need to earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins...' Angel shakes her head helplessly as Yusri, who doesn't even know about selling monster materials.
"Brother, we can cut these pigs like butchers and sell their ingredients separately or just sell the whole body at once. Which method do you prefer? We'll get more money from selling materials individually, but it'll also take more work" Angel told him moments later.
"Let me cut it for you" Yusri told him.
"Do you know how...?" Angel looked at him with doubt. Slaughtering an entire monster was not something that could be done without training and experience.
"Yes, I have a cooking technique called the Thousand Knives Technique, and when I look at these corpses, my mind automatically tells me how to slaughter with my dagger, almost like it was natural," Yusri told him.
"really? But I'm more interested in why you have a technique that's meant for cooking." she told him.
"I'm not sure because I've never done it before, but I feel very confident when I see it."
Yusri approached the three Horned Pigs with the Starry Gorge still in his grasp. He then kneeled in front of the corpse and began to cut the monster corpse with a dagger.
His movements were neither too slow nor too fast with each piece being done in one smooth motion, making all of his movements seem very natural, almost like he already had years of experience.
"Wow... And you learned that from cooking techniques?" Angel was amazed.
"Yes. Do you want to learn it too? I still carry his engineering book," Yusri asked him.
"Can you share your technique with others?" Angel raised her eyebrows.
"We'll know once we try. Let me finish slaughtering this pig."
After completely slaughtering the first horned pig perfectly, Yusri started working on the second horned pig, and his movements seemed cleaner than before.
"As expected of Brother Yusri, he learns very quickly." Melia nodded her head in approval after seeing Yusri skillfully slaughtering the horned pig.
"I'm not surprised, because my brother was a genius who learned to play almost every instrument in the world professionally when he was just five years old." Angel also nodded her head, agreeing with Melia.
"Brother Yusri can play his instrument?" Melia looked at him with wide eyes. Is there anything this guy can't do?
"Not only can he play his instrument but he can also play it perfectly! There used to be tens of millions of people who admired—"
"That's enough, Angel. It was all in the past. No need to talk about it anymore..." Yusri suddenly interrupted him with a serious expression on his face.
"Oh... I'm sorry, brother. I was too excited and brought up something I shouldn't have anymore..." Angel quickly realized his mistake and apologized to him.
Although Yusri used to play musical instruments, due to his illness that paralyzed his eyesight, he was forced to adapt to playing the instrument while blind and until he could no longer physically move his body.
"..."
Seeing the miserable atmosphere around them, Melia decided not to ask any questions for now and secretly watched Yusri slaughter the last horned pig.
A few minutes later, as soon as the three Horned Pigs were perfectly slaughtered by Yusri, he threw the materials into his spatial ring.
"I can't speak, brother. Although it was the first time you slaughtered a pig—a monster, you didn't make a mess! Even your hands are clean! It's almost like you never did!" Angel expressed her admiration for him once again.
"Mostly thanks to the knife technique I can even cut it completely and this knife makes it much smoother" Yusri said.
"Here, why don't you look at the technique yourself?" Yusri picked up the Thousand Knives Technique which he bought from the shop and handed it to Angel.
"It's like a book" he said as he began flipping through the pages.
Some time later, Angel finished reading the entire technique. He looked at Yusri with his head tilted and spoke, "How did you learn the technique? I read everything word for word and still have no skills."
"I did exactly what you just did - I read the book," Yusri said.
He then turned to look at Melia and asked her, "Is this technique a one-time use? If I had already learned the technique from him, others wouldn't be able to do the same?"
However, Melia shook her head and said, "That's impossible. Techniques unlike monster cores where they disappear after one use—as long as you can understand the technique, you should be able to learn it."
"It's just because you haven't understood the technique. Unless you are a cultivation prodigy like Brother Yusri who can understand something with just a glance, you should read the book over and over again until you can understand it. Of course, you may also not be compatible with this technique. If that is the case, you will not learn the technique no matter how many times you read it. However, it usually happens only with more profound techniques—not the usual cooking techniques."
"Oh... Then I'll try again next time," said Angel, sounding rather disappointed.
Yusri and the others returned to find the Spirit Grass shortly afterwards.
During their journey, they encountered two more monsters, both at the second level Spirit Apprentice realm, which Yusri dealt with quickly and casually before spending more time to slaughter.
Two hours had passed since Yusri and the others started the quest, and they had just reached the area where the Spirit Grass was located.
"What does Spirit Grass look like?" Yusri asked after they reached the location.
"It's like ordinary grass but with this blue—-like tip," Angel spoke as she harvested a single strand of Spirit Grass before showing it to Yusri.
"We need these 3 jeans? It will take forever!" Yusri's eyes widened after seeing the little grass.
"Actually, this is much heavier than ordinary grass, so we don't need as much as you think. Here, look for yourself." Angel gave him the Spirit Grass.
"Wow! You're right! I can really feel the burden behind it!" Yusri expressed his admiration. How could something so small and light-looking have such weight?
"Brother Yusri, the most deceptive thing in the cultivation world is the appearance of a person. You can't judge a book by its cover, or you'll regret it." Melia warned.
Yusri nodded his head before he started looking around.
After spending a few minutes looking around, Yusri decided to stop using his eyes to search for Spirit Grass and started trying something new.
'The Spirit Grass had an aura unique to it... If I can feel it with my cultivation, I should be able to find it even without the need to use my eyes...'
Yusri then began to expand his own aura until he could sense something a few meters around him.
'Wow... Even though my eyes were closed, I could still somehow see the world in my mind, and it seemed clearer than using my eyes...' Yusri was amazed by this new finding. If only he could use this same technique in the real world. That way, he will still be able to see even though blind.
«You've learned Divine Sense»
«Divine Feel»
«Rank: Bumi»
«Mastery Level: 1»
«Description: As long as someone activates their Divine Sense, they will be able to see everything within a certain distance, even things that normally cannot be seen with the naked eye.»
And in just a few moments, Yusri was able to find over a dozen Spirit Grasses at once.
Melia looked at the expanding aura around Yusri with wide eyes.
'Divine Feelings? Brother Yusri somehow learned to use his own Divine Sense? Although he could only expand his Divine Sense by a few meters, it was an incredible achievement for someone who was only at the Spirit Warrior realm!' Melia thought to herself.
Normally, only Cultivators in the Spirit Master realm were able to learn and use Divine Sense, yet Yusri managed to learn it when he was only at the Spirit Warrior realm.
However, compared to eating the monster core and his god-like comprehension talent, it did not come as much of a surprise to Melia, who was already used to his incomprehensible existence.
"This, Angel. I found 12 Spirit Grass," Yusri showed Angel the Spirit Grass that he found using his Divine Sense.
"What! How did you find this much so quickly?! I only found 2 of myself!" Angel looked at the small pile of Spirit Grass in her hand with wide eyes.
"Why don't you try to use cultivation to sense the Spirit Grass instead of looking for it with empty eyes? It is much easier and more efficient because they have a unique aura that sets them apart from the rest" Yusri told him.
"How do I do such a thing?" he raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Uhh... I'm not sure either..." Yusri scratched his head, as it was a natural feeling for him.
