Palebeard was thinking ahead, “If this kind of goat can be commercialized, it will indeed have high value.”

He raised an index finger and said, “Firstly, the magical power contained in ordinary goat meat is far beyond the normal Bronze-rank beast meat. The cost difference between raising goats and raising Bronze-rank monsters is completely different.”

Then, he raised another finger and said, “Secondly, although the magical power structure of goat meat is strange and dangerous, when it is in a low temperature state, the magical power is restrained and stable. This is a natural storage advantage.

“Under normal circumstances, once a beast is slaughtered, the magical power contained in the body of the beast will flow outwards. Mages and alchemists are usually required to deal with the body parts of the beast to stabilize the magical power and to extend the lifespan of the magical power structure.

“Take the largest magical beast hunting group in the entire Holy Brilliance Continent as an example: the Megamouth Hunting Group. After they kill magical beasts, there are specialized personnel that will first cut all the parts of the beasts, then seal them one by one. They will then take the beast parts to the camp and use magic circles to deepen the seal.

“Even with heavy seals, these materials derived from magical beasts will continue to release magical power, so their value will continue to decline over time. Therefore, for extremely precious magical materials, the Megamouth Hunting Group does not hesitate to use teleportation spell circles.

“The processing costs and transportation costs are high. The more powerful the magical beast, the higher the costs.

“Thus, when the conditions are right, the Megamouth Hunting Group will try to capture the beasts alive instead of killing them. They will first transport the living beasts to the big cities, then kill them locally and directly sell fresh magical materials.

“But there is also a problem here. The cost of feeding beasts is also high. Powerful people are needed to care for and control the beasts, so the maintenance and consumption of manpower is huge.”

Palebeard changed the conversation topic to the goat meat in front of him, “But our goat meat is different. As long as it is in low temperature, the ice type magical powers in the goat meat will be quite stable. This advantage is huge. It will save us in storage and transportation costs.”

Palebeard was knowledgeable and familiar with the industry of hunting and selling magical beasts.

Aupin was convinced.

Resources were very important.

Aupin already had the idea of utilizing these goats.

His original idea was to use these goats as mounts, to develop a cavalry.

In the future, when he becomes the White Sand City Lord, having an elite cavalry in his hands would be of great help to his control.

Thus, Aupin personally fought and captured four Bronze-rank white bone goats, and caught many young goats alive for breeding.

However, these little goats all died from poisoning. Only the four Bronze-rank head goats survived. Everyone else was also poisoned from eating goat meat.

Aupin’s cavalry plan had completely failed.

But now he had discovered another idea, which was to directly sell goat meat!

This is how life is.

Plans can never keep up with the changes.

The cold reality brings disasters, breaks people’s ideals and plans, but often brings gifts at the same time, keeping people’s hopes alive.

Hope is always there, the key is whether people can see it.

Many people fail to see hope and fall into despair. Because seeing hope not only requires a pair of bright eyes, but also a good mentality or deep wisdom.

Violette’s purple eyes shone brightly and she agreed with Palebeard’s words. “If we can find supernatural people who can digest this goat meat smoothly, then this is indeed a huge business. Ordinary goats are so easy to catch, we can even participate in large-scale breeding. The cost of breeding and transportation is much lower than that of Bronze and Black Iron-rank beasts. This business is profitable and there is also a wonderful aspect: as long as we sell large quantities at low prices, this business will allow us to connect with the nobles at the top of the Empire!”

Blueteres couldn’t hide his excitement. “Looking at it from this perspective, these bleating goats are walking piles of gold coins!”

The purple-eyed girl looked at Aupin with shining eyes. “Sir Aupin, if we develop and master this business, it will undoubtedly be of great help to you. Whether it is fighting for the White Sand City Lord position or maintaining the White Sand City Lord position, you will require a lot of money. This business is like growing a pair of wings on your back! It may even bring us the support of the top nobles!”

Aupin nodded. He knew the prospects and benefits of this, but he still maintained a calm expression. “This matter needs to be thoroughly discussed and considered. The main problem now is to solve the chaotic magical power in our bodies!”

The atmosphere in the tent calmed down a bit.

They couldn’t just let these ice type magical powers lurk in their human bodies. Because even though these magic powers were latent, they would still secretly continue to erode the human body.

It wasn’t harmful in the short term, but in fact, these magical powers were slowly damaging everyone’s vitality. At the same time, once their body temperature rose, these magical powers would become deadly!

Aupin did not want this.

He needed to solve his own problems while also saving the lives of other people.

He had to take these people with him to the Orc Continent, and compete for his position as the White Sand City Lord.

How could he solve this problem?

Everyone in the tent looked at Violette. Everything depended on this potioneer. Especially since low-level magic and battle aura couldn’t be activated.

Violette looked solemn and felt the burden on her shoulders. She said, “I need to experiment first, I can’t give an answer for the time being.”

Aupin nodded. “What do you need? We will fully cooperate with you!”

Aupin gave up his tent to Violette for experimentation.

Blueteres led the team again to hunt and kill a large number of goats. Palebeard personally handled the goat dissection, while Aupin killed a Bronze-rank head goat.

The blood, bones, and fur of goats that contained magical powers were transported to the tent in batches.

The candle in the tent stayed lit all night. In the early morning, Violette, who had dark bags under her eyes, opened the curtain of the tent.

“I need grass.”

“Grass?” Aupin was waiting outside the tent the whole time.

“The goat’s food, the more grass the better. Remember, it must have the root connected,” Violette instructed.

Aupin nodded and immediately issued the corresponding order.

Fortunately he had these subordinates, otherwise he would not be able to meet Violette’s urgent needs alone.

Aupin stood outside the tent. He watched the sky gradually light up, knowing that the night had passed.

He didn’t know how Violette was doing. He was worried, but he never revealed the slightest emotion.

He stood outside the tent with his hands holding a wooden knife handle. His body was straight as a spear. Whenever the exploration team members walked past the tent, their impetuous hearts calmed down and the hope in their hearts increased a little when they saw Aupin.

Everyone dug up the grass with its roots, and after removing the soil, the grass piles were sent into the tent.

The tent was like a bear that had just finished hibernation, constantly swallowing grass, slowly growing a fat belly.

Aupin could smell all kinds of weird scents floating from the tent.

When the sun shone from the east and the sky was full of clouds, Violette’s voice came from the tent, “Sir Aupin, are you still there?”

“Yes,” Aupin replied immediately.

“Then please come in.”

Aupin’s spirit was lifted. He immediately turned around, opened the curtain, and entered the tent.

The smell inside the tent was even more pungent as a misty fog lingered in the air.

Violette’s face looked drained, but there was a touch of excitement in her crystal-clear eyes.

“Fortunately the task was completed.” Violette raised the glass bottle in her hand, a blue sea water-like liquid was in the bottle.

“It turns out that these goats are victims, just like us.

“The grass is what really contains the ice type magical powers.

“The vitality aura of this grass seems normal, but in fact they contain extremely rich ice-type magical power. After the goats eat the grass, the magical powers are absorbed in the goats. We eat the contaminated goat meat, infecting us with special magical power!”

Aupin was surprised by Violette’s words.

“So these grasses are like magic plants, so their value is even higher?” Aupin asked.

Violette nodded and said, “The sap of this grass is extremely rich, especially the roots, they are almost like berries. But I still recommend that we sell goat meat. This kind of grass is easy to copy, whether it is a druid master, the Duke of Woodbeard, or the Empire Temple of Life. As long as they get a certain amount of grass, they have the ability to grow a large amount.”

The medicine had been made, but the actual effects had to be tested.

Aupin obviously wouldn’t be the first one to take it. He called over a small group of personnel.

When Yellowteres heard the news, he immediately wanted to be the first one to test it.

But Blueteres reprimanded him, and Yellowteres had to give up his wishes. As a younger brother, he did not dare to disobey his older brother.

Thus, under the eyes of everyone, Blueteres swallowed the first bottle of medicine in one gulp.

After Blueteres swallowed the potion, his entire face immediately turned blue. At the same time, he grabbed his neck with both hands, opened his mouth, his eyes widened, and vomited.

But the most uncomfortable thing was that he couldn’t vomit out anything.

“Brother!” Yellowteres cried out in shock.

The others were also a little surprised.

“Don’t worry, this is a normal reaction,” Violette said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Blueteres suddenly bent down and spat out a large mouthful of blood on the ground.

The blood was a blue-red color, mixed with a few ice cubes the size of an adult’s thumb. These ice cubes exuded a chilling vibe, with a weird blue-purple color.

After vomiting, Blueteres immediately felt relieved. The strange blue color on his face quickly faded, restoring his normal skin color.

Violette looked over, she smiled and said, “Nice, the ice-type magical power in your body should have been vomited out. The potion I made can absorb and gather all the ice type magical power in your body, then induce vomiting. As long as you don’t continue to eat goat meat, there will be no more poisoning.”

In order to verify this, everyone accompanied Blueteres and walked away from the campsite.

Not only did they get to the place where they felt poisoned before, but they even walked a bit further beyond.

Blueteres was full of energy and had no abnormal symptoms.

Everyone was overjoyed as potions were made one after another.

When it was Aupin’s turn to drink the potion, it was already the sixth potion made.

This was a decision made by Violette.

The effects of this medicine had to be proven after many attempts before she felt safe for Aupin to take it.

After Aupin took the medicine, the effect was similar to Blueteres.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and ice cubes, and the ice-type magical power in his body was extracted.

“Is this!?”

Instantly, Aupin’s facial expression changed.

“Is there something wrong?” Violette stepped forward, concerned.

“Nothing.” Aupin shook his head, but there was still a tremble in his heart.

The moment he vomited blood, he felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

He had a deep impression of this emptiness.

He was familiar with this feeling!

Not long ago, when he killed the spider and after the sharp claws disappeared from his hands, he had this feeling of emptiness.

What’s going on? Aupin was puzzled.
