《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Hearing Sister Orb's voice, Rean and Roan smiled. Sure enough, she was really seeing everything that happened outside.
Opril and Diakar quickly came out and looked at the dead demonic Ape's body. They still could remember how beautiful Roan's sword skills were. Not only that, but Rean and Roan could already use a little of Elemental Power, something that the two of them couldn't yet.
Diakar scratched the back of his head and then asked.
"Roan, where did you learn how to use the sword?"
Roan shrugged his shoulders, though.
"It was thanks to Tribe Vice Leader Alanda. He said that I had a lot of talent for it, so he passed me those skills."
Of course, this was a blatant lie. But it was not like Roan could go out there telling everyone he sees that he learned it in his previous life.
Opril's eyes shined.
"Would you mind teaching me as well?"
Roan nodded.
"Sure, I'm already teaching Rean anyway, so one or two more will make no difference since the exercises are the same."
Roan then looked at the Demonic Ape's corpse and said.
"But first, we need to bring it back to the main group to have the other kids and warriors take care of the meat."
Suddenly, Rean felt something weird coming from that Demon Beast's corpse.
"Roan, can you feel it?"
Roan looked at Rean, puzzled.
"Feel what?"
Rean was surprised that Roan couldn't feel the same thing as him.
"In his head, there is something inside."
Hearing that, Opril and Diakar's eyes shined.
"Are you sure? Let's open it straight away then! It is probably a demon core."
Rean and Roan looked at the two, obviously not knowing what they were talking about.
"Let's open it first, and then you will see."

Rean and Roan nodded and immediately started to open the head. Now that the Ape was dead, it couldn't use its Spiritual Energy to harden its body, so it was a lot easier to cut through than when they were battling.
Sure enough, they found a small bead inside. When Roan touched it, he finally felt the presence of that energy that Rean talked about. As for Rean, he also understood why only he could sense it before.
"Life Energy. It not only has Spiritual Energy inside, but there is a lot of Life Energy as well. I guess my Light Element affinity is very suitable for it, so I could feel the presence of the Life Energy in the Ape's dead body."
Roan nodded. That made a lot of sense and was very convenient as well.
"Opril, Diakar, is this thing worth anything?"
The protectors immediately nodded.
"Definitely. You can sell it for at least 10 Spirit Stones. Once the merchants stop by the village, the Demon Cores that the warriors find during the hunt would usually be sold to them for this price. I heard that in the city there are some cultivators who are also alchemists. It seems like they have a lot of use for them."
Rean couldn't help but remember what he knew about alchemists in his previous life.
"Is it the thing about transforming other metals into gold?"
Roan couldn't help but snort.
"Why don't you ask them if there is a philosopher's stone as well? Who knows, you might even find a cultivator called Harry Potter."
Rean ear's got red. Sure enough, Roan saw straight through him.
Opril and Diakar looked at Rean with a puzzled face, though.
"Who is Harry Potter?"
Rean immediately changed the topic.
"Cough, cough. Forget about him, it's no one important. By the way, tell me more about those alchemists."

Opril and Diakar nodded.
"Well, to answer your first question, why would an alchemist want to create gold? Although it is good for the ordinary people to use for transactions, it doesn't have much of a value for cultivators. I don't know if they can really transform other materials into gold. Still, I reckon that it would be a waste of spiritual energy. Instead, they create pills that have miraculous effects on cultivators."
"Some pill can increase the rate that you can absorb Spiritual Energy, others can help with a Breakthrough. There are also pills that can bring one from the brink of death. Anyway, several types of pills can be used for many different things."
"Well, I guess I don't have to tell you that they are also not cheap. A simple Energy Gathering Pill would cost at least 100 Spirit Stones. So our Tribe never buys them. It is too expensive."
Rean and Roan nodded. At the moment, they don't need those pills, so they are glad to get an extra 10 Spirit Stones. But it was then that they heard from Diakar.
"In fact, this demon core should be worth 20 Spirit Stones, but the Tribe gets half of them while the killer gets the other half."
Rean and Roan's mouth twitched.
"Isn't it robbery?!"
Opril shook his head.
"All the Spirit Stones that the Tribe gets is used for the Tribe. As you probably understand already, not all Demon Beasts have Demon Cores. Especially Stage Ones like this Two-Tailed Demonic Ape. The Tribe has to provide Spirit Stones for the warriors that stay in the Tribe and buy other things that we don't produce ourselves. If anything, we are lacking a lot of Spirit Stones at the moment."
The twins' anger immediately deflated like a balloon. They had to admit that it made sense. Considering the life that the ordinary people have in their Tribe, there wasn't much of a reason to complain.
"Whatever, let's bring this Demonic Ape back to the bigger group."
Opril and Diakar nodded. With the four working together, it wasn't a problem to carry the Ape's body back.
When the other warriors and the kids saw them approaching, they were taken aback. They had noticed the twins' absence after some time, but Alanda told them that they were fine. Still, no one expected that they would come back with a Two-Tailed Demonic Ape's body.
Rean and Roan ignored their eyes and went straight to Alanda to pass over the Demon Core. They had no intention of hiding it to start with. The Tribe had helped them a lot, so they would definitely reciprocate. Not to mention that they still need to pay their debts.
"Good. With this, the 10 spirit stones that I was going to charge for the Swords are paid. The other 10 spirit stones would be the Tribe's share to start with, so it doesn't count. Make sure to work hard to pay your debt."
The twins' mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Stingy old man!"
Alanda just smiled in response.
"Thank you for the compliment."
