I Start with a Mysterious Island-Chapter 49: Hey, Hey, You’re Way Too Weak

Wind Blade!

A faint golden Spiritual Light flashed in Lin Li’s palm, and a cyan, crescent-shaped Wind Blade, about fourteen or fifteen centimeters long, instantly took form.

"Go!"

WHOOSH! The crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade cut through the air, shooting at incredible speed toward the gray wolf Mutant Beast, which had assumed an attack stance.

The speed of the crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade was simply too fast; the old gray wolf Mutant Beast couldn’t react at all.

SCHLICK.

THUD.

The Wind Blade struck the gray wolf Mutant Beast, slicing a wound so deep the bone was visible and knocking its body sideways to the ground.

"What the...? Hey, you’re way too weak! Down in one hit? I was just trying to test you!"

Seeing his Cyan Wind Blade grievously injure the gray wolf Mutant Beast in a single strike, Lin Li couldn’t help but inwardly mock the creature before a happy expression appeared on his face.

Through that practical application, he gained a deeper understanding of the power of his new Superpower. At the same time, he knew that the old gray wolf Mutant Beast before him would not escape his grasp.

"AWOOO..."

The gray wolf Mutant Beast had intended to take down the human before it and enjoy a hearty meal. But now, severely wounded, it struggled back to its feet. After letting out a mournful howl, its gaze toward Lin Li was filled with nothing but fear.

"Oh? You Mutant Beasts really aren’t all that. Scared already?"

Lin Li read the fear in the gray wolf Mutant Beast’s eyes and laughed. "You’re the one who came to my door, not the other way around. So just be a good boy and stay here. You’ll make great fertilizer for the Magical Little Tree!"

"AWOOO..." The gray wolf Mutant Beast let out a bluffing roar at the laughing Lin Li, then turned to flee.

If it hadn’t been injured, the gray wolf Mutant Beast would have stood a good chance of escaping from Lin Li with its speed.

But now? In its heavily injured state, its chances of escape were practically nil.

"WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH..."

Just as the grievously wounded gray wolf Mutant Beast turned its head to run, the sound of several objects slicing through the air came from behind it.

Several crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blades shot over at incredible speed, striking the severely wounded gray wolf Mutant Beast in the blink of an eye.

"SCHLICK, SCHLICK, SCHLICK..."

The crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blades struck the grievously wounded gray wolf Mutant Beast—some on its neck, others on its legs. They all landed on its vital areas.

"AWOOO..."

Having suffered one devastating blow after another, the gray wolf Mutant Beast let out a blood-curdling howl and collapsed heavily to the ground.

Its body twitched uncontrollably as large amounts of blood gushed from the wounds carved by the Cyan Wind Blades.

SCHLICK.

After the gray wolf Mutant Beast fell, a figure appeared at its side. A Spiritual Longsword, glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light, stabbed like a lightning bolt into the creature’s head just as it tried to lift it.

A fatal blow.

Lin Li pulled back his Spiritual Longsword, crouched down, and was about to reach out to store the gray wolf Mutant Beast on the Mysterious Small Island.

Just as he was about to do so, his hand paused.

’A single pack of instant noodles won’t be enough to fill me up. I should add some barbecue! I’ll have more energy to work this afternoon if I eat my fill!’

With a thought, Lin Li summoned a dagger into his hand.

This was the very same Spiritual Artifact Dagger that had been plunged into the heart of the white ape Mutant Beast.

After the white ape Mutant Beast’s flesh and blood had turned into a white mist and become fertilizer for the Magical Little Tree, this Spiritual Artifact Dagger had fallen onto the grass.

At the time, Lin Li hadn’t known the dagger was a Spiritual Weapon. He just thought it was an ordinary small dagger until he picked it up and realized how incredibly light it was.

Compared to ordinary daggers of the same size on the market, this one weighed maybe only a third or even a quarter as much. In any case, it was absurdly light.

Considering how light it was, and recalling that the middle-aged man from before was an Exotic Beast Hunter, Lin Li immediately realized that the dagger in his hand was most likely a Spiritual Artifact Dagger.

And just as Lin Li had suspected, when he mobilized the Spiritual Energy in his body and channeled it into the Spiritual Artifact Dagger, the dagger in his hand smoothly accepted the infusion, instantly glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light.

The difference between Spiritual Weapons and ordinary weapons lies in their forging materials.

One is forged from Spiritual Materials, the other from ordinary materials. When a Cultivator infuses the former with Spiritual Energy, the flow is extremely smooth. With the latter, however, it’s somewhat sluggish.

Moreover, although weapons forged from ordinary materials can also be infused with Spiritual Energy by a Cultivator, doing so results in enormous Spiritual Energy consumption during combat.

Therefore, when it comes to buying weapons, Cultivators almost always choose Spiritual Weapons, which have a lower rate of Spiritual Energy consumption. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

...

Looking at the Spiritual Artifact Dagger he had lucked into, Lin Li couldn’t help but smile happily at the thought of its official price.

He took a photo of it with his phone and did an image search online. In no time, he found the official retail price of this Spiritual Artifact Dagger.

One million two hundred thousand!!!

That’s right, he wasn’t mistaken. The official retail price of this Spiritual Artifact Dagger was 1,200,000.

When Lin Li saw the search result, he was completely stunned.

His own Spiritual Longsword, which had cost him half his savings, was only 499,999 yuan. Yet the official price of this Spiritual Artifact Dagger was more than double that.

Upon learning that the Spiritual Artifact Dagger in his hand was officially priced at 1,200,000, Lin Li’s first, excited thought was to sell it, cash in, and replenish his somewhat empty wallet.

However, he quickly calmed down. Any Spiritual Weapon sold by a weapon shop had to be officially registered.

To resell one secondhand, the seller needed an official receipt to prove ownership...

He had lucked into this Spiritual Artifact Dagger, so he definitely didn’t have an official receipt. If he wanted to sell it, he would have to go through some illicit channels.

But the government cracked down hard on such illegal transactions. If he were caught, he wouldn’t just be fined; he’d be blacklisted. And if the amount involved was large enough, he’d be thrown in jail for a few days.

Lin Li had always been a good, law-abiding citizen. He didn’t want a stain on his permanent record.

If he just stuck to his current plan and moved forward step by step, making money in the future would be as easy as breathing. There was no need to take such a risk for a mere million or so.
