Walker Of The Worlds

Duan Ke went silent, and Jing Wei was lost in thought as well. Both of them stayed the same for an incense sticks worth of time until Jing Wei spoke.

"What did he want to do with the beast corpse?" asked Jing Wei.

Duan Ke broke her silence and looked up at her grandfather.

"He wants to sell the materials from the beast corpse and keep the meat for himself." Duan Ke replied.

"Hmm, you can't give him the meat, we don't know what effect it could have. Besides, if it is as you say, we have to investigate further." Jing Wei spoke.

"So what should I do grandfather?" Duan Ke asked.

Jing Wei thought for a moment before replying,

"Find a beast of equivalent strength and give its meat to him. As for the cost of the materials, you can decide that yourself."

"Yes, grandfather. I'll do as you say." Duan Ke replied.

Jing Wei turned back and walked towards the manor. As he reached the door of the manor he stopped and spoke,

"Refine the beast corpse and use it to investigate any new traces that may turn up. We don't want a repeat of last year's incident."

Duan Ke did not speak and only nodded her head in acceptance. Jing Wei had entered the manor and disappeared from her view. Knowing what she had to do, Duan Ke waved her hand to make the beast's corpse float. She then gestured and a small formation array appeared over the beast's corpse.

Slowly flames bloomed on the corpse and the formation array started to turn.

"Refine!" Duan Ke spoke out loud.

The beast's corpse was being reduced to a pool of blood. Once the entire corpse turned to blood, Duan Ke threw four small stones the size of pearls, which started to revolve around the pool of blood. The stones spun faster and faster, making the pool of blood to swirl as well.

After five minutes the four stones had stopped revolving and the pool of blood was converted into a small dark red marble. Duan Ke withdrew the four small stones and picked up the dark red marble floating in the air.

She walked out of the door and waved her hand to remove the formations placed on the shop's door. She then exited the shop and saw the crude-looking sled kept at the side. Ignoring the sled,
