Chapter 2230 Measuring Credits

The Grand Bagua Mythic Series was truly desirable for a lot of cultivators, as such it was normal for them to seek it out.

Even Lin Mu had thought that there was a high chance there might be more fragments of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series in the rewards list. But luck didn't seem to be on their side in terms of that.

"It's already a great fortune we found two new fragments of it here. I suppose we cannot be greedy for more." Daoist Chu stated before being reminded of something. "Ah! I almost forgot." He suddenly said before taking out two small jade slips.

"What's this?" Lin Mu asked, seeing that the man was handing them to him.

"The two fragments of the Grand Bagua Mythic Series." Daoist Chu replied. "Crown Prince copied them back when we were separated and intended to give it to you just in case we didn't manage to leave together in time." He explained.

"I see…" Lin Mu took the two small jade slips. 'Looks like I didn't even have to ask again, Senior Xukong.' He said in his mind.

"You can try seeing if you can comprehend them." Daoist Chu replied. "The Crown Prince and I already tried, but we didn't have much luck." He chuckled. "Well, considering how difficult they are supposed to be, I reckon it'll take a long time to comprehend." Lin Mu said.

"Indeed. We just took a surface level look anyways. It is hard to read it in the first place too since the Dao Script used in it is a bit too cryptic. It'll take a while for us to analyze it." Daoist Chu explained. "Perhaps you might have a better luck than us. You do have better skills in that aspect after all." He added.

"I'll try my best." Lin Mu nodded, wishing to take a look at it later anyway.

Another hour passed while Lin Mu assisted the group and soon everyone had picked out the things they wanted. Almost everyone wanted multiple things, but whether they could afford everything was something that was yet to be seen.

"Now that we got this down, I suppose we can head out to hunt some of the Chimeric beasts." Lin Mu suggested.

"Of course! I can't wait to get my hands on them." Qiao De said, already excited to gather the credits.

"Let's head out then." Crown Prince Feng Shun said and the group soon departed the Offering Hall that had been re-purposed into a Reward Hall.

~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~

The group flew out and looked for the nearest group of Chimeric beasts which didn't take them very long.

"There!" Ziran pointed to a decent sized group that had a few thousand Chimeric beasts.

"We need to measure how many points each Chimeric beast gives, thus it is best to hunt them one by one. Otherwise the points might get mixed up." Lin Mu informed them.

"Alright!" they all replied.

"Time to hunt!" Lin Mu said and charged into the swarm of Chimeric beasts.

Lin Mu's immortal sense scanned the Chimeric beasts and determined their cultivation bases.

'Hmm… First to third tribulation stage of the Immortal realm.' He assessed before picking the weakest one.

~SHUA~

He appeared in front of an Auroch Chimeric beast that was at the First Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.

"BIHIIIIIIII!" The Chimeric beast was obviously agitated by this and let out a loud cry.

The eyes on its back all shifted towards Lin Mu, while its mouth dripped with foul saliva. The stench was strong enough to make Lin Mu, wrinkle his nose and wanting to seal his sense of smell.

~SHING~

"Afternoon Pine! Ocean Raker!" He called out his swords, letting them have the joy of killing the same beasts that had ended the lives of their masters again.

They already knew of Lin Mu's intentions thus they didn't go on a broad scale slaughter right away. They needed to know the credits that they will get thus, they only directed small attacks towards their foes.

~WOONG~

A golden sliver of Qi shot towards the Auroch Chimeric beast, causing its' body to be split into two in a moment.

~THUD~ THUD~

The two halves fell on the sides, while the eyes on the back swiveled in confusion.

"Let's see…" Lin Mu glanced at the green band on his hand and saw the numbers pop up.

~shua~

He had basically spent almost all his points in buying the Sky Swallowing Wolf Bloodline Crystal and barely had two hundred points left there.

"Three hundred points… Exactly a hundred increase from before." Lin Mu noted. "So a First Tribulation Stage Immortal gives one hundred points?" he wondered if this was applicable to all of them or if it varied.

After all, there were different types of Chimeric beasts and their abilities varied. Some could be tough despite being the same cultivation base and their points could thus be influenced.

~SHING~

In response, Ocean Raker carried out the test, letting out a thin stab that was like an iron peg stabbing through the head of a different Chimeric beast.

This was a Chimeric beast that had the Head of a Horse but the body of a distorted wolf. It had four main limbs, and two 'hands' that looked like they belonged to some kind of a primate.

Of course its teeth were also horrible, but it also seemed to be limited in its scope of vision. It had a single eye at the top of its head, which was a bit strange.

Which was also why it didn't manage to see Lin Mu's attack coming at it. ~SPLAT~

Its head exploded in one go, ending its life cans causing its body to tumble to the ground.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu glanced at the green band once more, seeing the points jump by another hundred to a total of four hundred credits.

"Still the same… Hopefully it is equal for all." Lin Mu muttered as he started killing more of them.

It had barely been ten seconds since Lin Mu had landed and the rest of the group charged in as well. The swarm of the Chimeric beasts was alarmed by the sudden arrival of foes and started fighting them. But of course, they were barely qualified for it and they started to die by the tens every second.

The corpses of the Chimeric beasts soon littered they entire area, and about fifteen minutes later the group had wiped them all out.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a breath and gathered with the group.

"Looks like we have a rather linear increase in the points." Lin Mu informed.

"I saw that too." Ziran nodded. "I got a bit to into killing the Chimeric beasts, so I didn't notice. What is it?" Qiao De said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I only got to kill the First and Second Tribulation Stage Immortal realm chimeric beasts, so don't know about the Third Tribulation Stage Immortal realm Chimeric beast." Daoist Chu spoke up.

It was normal since in the entire group there were only twelve or so Third Tribulation Stage Immortal realm Chimeric beasts in them. Four of them had been killed by Lin Mu, while the rest were split among Lady Kang, and Crown Prince Feng Shun.

While they might not know how many points these gave, it was expected that the higher the cultivation base, the more points they would give.

"Well, its rather simple." Lin Mu replied. "100 points for a First Tribulation Stage Immortal realm Chimeric beast, 1000 for a Second Tribulation Stage Immortal realm Chimeric beast and finally 10,000 for a Third Tribulation Stage Immortal realm Chimeric beast." He informed.

"I see…" Qiao De thought about it. "If this pattern keeps up, which I hope it does…"

"It means the Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal realm Chimeric beast will give us a 100,000 credits, Fifth will give 1,000,000, Sixth will give 10,000,000 and finally the Seventh will give a whopping 100,000,000." Lin Mu extrapolated.

"A hundred million for the Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal realm Chimeric beast…" Crown Prince Feng Shun's eyes narrowed. "We'll need to kill about three of them to get enough for the Immortal Paragon's ring." He calculated while looking at his companions.

"We might be able to kill those with a bit of planning, but I don't know how many of those are present here." Lin Mu said. "We at least know of one such beast though." He hinted to the one that had almost killed Qiao De.

"Ah yeah, that one." The man remembered.

"But wait, how are the credits divided, if multiple people kill a beast together?" Crown Princess Shang expressed her doubts.

"That can be tested very easily, can't it?" Lady Kang smirked and glanced at a lone Chimeric Beast that seemed to be wandering in the distance. "Elder Hu," she spoke.

"As you command." The man said before clenching his fist.

~SHING~

~SHA~

Lady Kang shot out a small star while Elder Hu punched out, sending a fist imprint.

~BOOM~

It was safe to say the Chimeric Beast was reduced to a mush from the attack.
