How to Bring Common Sense to Xianxia World

After the commotion finally settled, the entire first defensive line erupted into cheers.

Like thunder, the sounds of cheering and celebration reverberated throughout the fort.

Both the warriors and the workers who handled menial tasks, such as moving ammunition or supplying spirit stones to warriors who had depleted their spiritual qi, joined in the celebration.

Even the physicians in the infirmary smiled.

But they only paused for a moment.

For those working in the medical field, their job didn’t end when the battle did. There were still many injured warriors waiting in line to be treated.

After the initial celebration, the casualties were tallied.

The bodies of the fallen warriors were carried from the walls to the morgue, and their names were recorded so that their families could receive the compensation that the Ximen Clan would provide in recognition of their sacrifice.

Their names would also be recorded and engraved onto a monument for the people of Cloud City and their descendants to remember their sacrifice.

If there was one good thing this defensive war had brought to the city and the Ximen Clan, it was the countless corpses of fierce beasts that had not been disintegrated.

Those corpses were also tallied before being butchered and separated into their various useful parts, which would then be sold throughout the markets of Cloud City.

The parts from low-level spirit beasts were mostly used in pill refining, allowing pills to be produced and sold to the masses and low-level cultivators. They would also be sold to various luxurious restaurants to be used as ingredients in their dishes.

As for the high-level beasts that had survived the annihilating beam, or those that still had parts that had not been disintegrated by the powerful beam from Wei Chen’s Death Star...

Those were placed into a different category. These were the cream of the crop. The real prize of this defensive war.

Spirit beast parts of this level were extremely valuable and incredibly rare under normal circumstances. Therefore, it was normal for the prices of beast parts to drop after every successful beast tide defense.

The sudden influx of beast materials was simply considered a normal market occurrence.

Except this time...

That was because of Wei Chen’s Death Star.

Many of the elite beasts had been completely disintegrated by that punishing beam.

Especially the Stone Skin Rhinoceros.

Its hide was a top-tier material for crafting defensive treasures and armor.

But this time...

There was an unexpected windfall.

It was the corpse of a Pseudo Immortal fierce beast. And it was not just any Pseudo Immortal fierce beast.

It was a fierce beast capable of transforming into human form.

The Heaven Devouring Tiger.

Wei Chen was in the room with a treasure appraiser and the best disassembler in Cloud City. The disassembler was holding a short blade, an Immortal-grade dagger borrowed from the Ximen Clan’s forbidden vault.

The two experts were working together to identify the value of the Heaven Devouring Tiger’s carcass and determine where to cut and disassemble it.

Of course, after its death, the Heaven Devouring Tiger had already reverted to its beastly form. Otherwise, if it had continued maintaining its human form, the people in this room would have had a very difficult time doing their job.

They might even have needed to abandon the carcass altogether.

After all, who in their right mind would want to disassemble a human-looking corpse?

Even if they knew it was actually a transformed beast, doing so would still be very... disturbing.

"So... how are you guys planning to disassemble it?" Ximen Hao asked the two experts, who were busy measuring and discussing the Heaven Devouring Tiger’s carcass.

The treasure appraiser turned toward Ximen Hao and replied with a cupped fist.

"Answering Young Master Ximen, this is the first time we have encountered such an exotic beast. We are currently discussing how to proceed. After all, this is the first time we have had the opportunity to disassemble and appraise the value of such a creature."

"Due to its immense value, we don’t dare to do anything reckless with it," the treasure appraiser replied.

"I understand, but could you please make a decision? Or perhaps I should freeze it first and let you study it before proceeding. I don’t mind paying for you to search for some knowledge in the Unity Sage’s Archive. My good brother also personally knows Elder Wen Moyuan. I think he should be able to help," Ximen Hao suggested.

"Hmmm..."

The disassembler pondered for a moment before looking at the treasure appraiser.

"I don’t think we need to freeze it. As we know, this beast had an extremely high cultivation, reaching the Pseudo Immortal Realm. The corpse of a cultivator with such a high cultivation can remain fresh for years. The same principle applies to spirit beasts and fierce beasts."

"Is that so?" Ximen Hao nodded.

While Wei Chen listened to their conversation, he began to wonder why Ximen Hao had asked him to come here.

But he only wondered for a moment before the answer came to him on its own.

"Sorry, Brother Wei. I wanted you to decide which parts you wanted, but it seems this matter won’t be settled today," Ximen Hao said, shaking his head regretfully.

"Nah... don’t worry about it. You can take the whole thing. Just compensate me for the ordnance I used during the defense, and that’ll be enough for me."

Wei Chen shook his head.

The beast’s carcass wasn’t particularly useful to him. He could live without it.

After all, his dantian and cultivation technique were oddballs in this world, and he didn’t get much energy from ordinary refined pills.

What he needed were pills from the Underworld and powerful pills used in the Immortal Realm. All of those were already available for him to purchase through the redemption shop.

As for his wives, Dream Butterfly’s special physique was incredibly powerful, and her cultivation could rapidly increase even without actively cultivating. The passive benefits of her physique alone were enough to continuously boost her cultivation.

As for Mo Xingyao...

That money-grubbing girl was the most normal of the group.

She only needed some pills from the redemption shop and a few good cultivation methods. Nothing as crazy as what he needed.

Normal pills would be enough for her.

He planned to give all of that to her once they were married as her dowry.

What concerned him was the performance assessment after this incident.

He had saved a lot of lives this time, and he could only hope that he would receive a good result from the performance assessment.

While Wei Chen was lost in his thoughts, Ximen Hao couldn’t help but smile.

He patted Wei Chen on the shoulder.

He knew that Wei Chen, as the Young Master of the Underworld Palace, might already have access to cultivation resources far more valuable than this carcass.

That was why his good brother didn’t seem particularly excited when he learned that he would receive a share of it.

But Ximen Hao still needed to give something to his good brother.

Otherwise, his conscience would bother him.

"C’mon, Brother Wei. Don’t be so quick to refuse. Since you have two wives, why don’t I give you this tiger’s penis? It would definitely give you a boost when you’re enjoying some nightly activities with your wives."

Ximen Hao said this with a knowing, lecherous smile, his right eyebrow wiggling up and down.

Hearing this, Wei Chen made a face as though someone had just invited him to eat shit.

His mind immediately returned to the moment when he had witnessed that drop of white fluid forming on the perverted tiger’s private parts.

His stomach churned uncomfortably.

It felt as though his lunch was about to reverse its way back out.

"Ur... um... I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me. Just take the damn thing. Take the whole thing. I’m not so desperate that I need something like that."

Wei Chen patted Ximen Hao on the back.

But before he could excuse himself, he noticed the treasure appraiser slowly touch a drop of white liquid on the table.

The drop had fallen near a certain part of the tiger’s carcass.

Then, as if he were a sommelier, the appraiser extended his tongue and tasted the white liquid from his finger.

"Hmm... it’s sweet, but also a little salty and fishy..." the appraiser muttered as he closed his eyes, trying to figure out what it was.

The sight made Wei Chen want to puke.

He touched his chest, said nothing, and simply gestured toward Ximen Hao that he was going outside to get some fresh air.

Then, a few seconds later, the people in the room heard Wei Chen’s voice as he puked his entire stomach out.

"Urrrrrrghhhhhhhhoooo!"

— Night - Deathstar —

Wei Chen was standing in front of the throne, the kind of throne that made him think of a certain Sith Lord who loved saying, "Do it," to a wavering Padawan.

The throne was occupied by his boss, the Lord of Death.

This incident was so significant that the Lord of Death immediately performed his second performance assessment. This would be the final assessment that would determine whether Wei Chen passed his probation or not.

The Lord of Death read the report that Youqi had prepared for him. The report detailed Wei Chen’s performance during the incident.

"Hmm... Mr. Wei, your performance this time exceeded our expectations once again. This proves that my decision to trust my wife’s divination was the correct one."

"Your wife?" Wei Chen unconsciously blurted out.

"Yes, my wife. And you know her. It’s Yan Xuanjun. She’s the one who performed the divination for me," the Lord of Death said in a good mood.

But honestly, with a face like that, Wei Chen could only judge his mood from his voice.
