“Sigh! This is what having a low cultivation level is like. Gu Feng and He Meng received decent earnings, but due to my low level, they only gave me two Waterwolf Fangs and a bottle of Spirit Blood. These aren’t even worth one-fifth of what they got!”
Inside his stone house, Wang Ping sat down and brewed a pot of tea for himself. He drank a few mouthfuls, remembering his experiences from the voyage. He couldn’t help but sigh, feeling extremely conflicted.
His cultivation level was indeed low. He was at the 3rd level of the Qi Refinement Stage, and among the wandering cultivators of Golden Pearl Island, he had the lowest cultivation.
Yet, he was able to kill the Waterwolf Beast, and the unique spell he had mastered, the “Illusory Body Technique,” played a significant role in doing so.
If not for the Water Illusion Avatar he created using this spell to absorb the Waterwolf Beast’s Fire Energy, He Meng, who was their main attacker, would have suffered injuries.
But due to his low cultivation level, he was unable to cause any substantial damage to the Waterwolf Beast. When they were distributing the loot after the battle, Gu Feng and He Meng chose to ignore his “Illusory Body Technique” credit and only gave him a meager amount for his work.
Naturally, Wang Ping felt very dissatisfied. But he couldn’t express his discontent.
It wasn’t the first time Wang Ping encountered such practices. Moreover, compared to his earnings from previous hunting groups, the rewards Gu Feng and He Meng had given him were already quite generous.
The most absurd case Wang Ping had encountered was when he was half-heartedly dismissed with some demon beast meat.
Having experienced this countless times, Wang Ping was no longer as angry as the previous times.
This was how the Cultivation World worked; power ruled over moral principles. The higher one’s cultivation level was, the stronger one was, and the more arbitrary the rules became.
After all these years, Wang Ping had gradually adapted to his situation and was no longer as naive as he had been in the beginning.
However, although the loot that was distributed to him was meager, his actual gains should not be lesser than He Meng’s.
After all, the corpse of the Waterwolf Beast had landed in his hands.
When he thought of this, Wang Ping could not help but fish out the very silver clamshell that stored the corpse of the Waterwolf beast.
“Heaven and Earth Shell, oh Heaven and Earth Shell, I’m lucky to have you. Otherwise, this voyage would have been in vain!”
The palm-sized silver clamshell was adorned with layers of mysterious-looking wavy golden patterns.
In fact, this precious treasure could be considered a “divine artifact.”
Ever since Wang Ping discovered its miraculous uses, he treated it as his lifeblood, his greatest asset in ensuring his continued survival in the Cultivation World.
Just like the name that Wang Ping had given it, there was another world inside the shell.
He took the shell out and placed it on the table. He lightly patted the head of the Green-Black Giant Wolf squatting beside him and said, “Xiao Feng, the usual rules. Watch over this for me. Once I come back out, I won’t forget your treats!”
Roar!
The wolf obediently let out a low howl to show that it understood.
Then, Wang Ping injected Dharma power into the clamshell. In a flash, he rapidly shrunk to the size of a grain of rice and was sucked into the clamshell.
When the Green-Black Giant Wolf named “Xiao Feng” saw this scene, it immediately got up and clutched the clamshell with its mouth. Wagging its tail, it walked to a corner of the room and lay there.
As for Wang Ping, after being sucked into the shell, he found himself on a small circular island.

This circular island had a diameter of about two thousand feet. On its grounds, Wang Ping had planted numerous fruit trees, medicinal herbs, and vegetables. The island was surrounded by water that reached 4 feet deep.
Beyond the waters was a dusky region.
A similar dusky region was located around 3,000 feet above the island.
The source of light in this world was a white pearl the size of a human head.
This white pearl was like the sun. It would rise from the island’s Eastern Sea Region every morning and fall into the Western Sea Region every evening, bringing day and night to this world.
This was the small world within the “Heaven and Earth Shell.” Both the circular island and the surrounding sea could accommodate living creatures. Moreover, the density of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi here was much higher than that of Wang Ping’s courtyard.
To be honest, the courtyard outside the shell was merely a facade. Wang Ping’s true cultivation ground was actually on this small island.
Not only was this place completely safe, but the Spirit Qi here was also denser than outside, enhancing the effects of cultivation.
The corpse of the Waterwolf Beast that Wang Ping had taken away earlier had landed on the spot of the island where the Spirit Qi was the densest.
Since almost a day had passed, the corpse of the Waterwolf beast already looked rather shriveled.
But thanks to the nourishment from Spirit Qi on the island, the Waterwolf beast’s spiritual force was still mostly preserved.
Looking at the slightly-shriveled carrion, Wang Ping could not help but reveal a bright smile.
“With the corpse of this Waterwolf beast, not only will Xiao Feng have a higher chance of becoming a demon beast, but the Golden-Striped Prawns in the waters will also be one step closer to adulthood.”
“If Xiao Feng can advance to become a demon beast, I can even try hunting for demon beasts on my own after I break through to the middle stage of the Refinement Stage.”
“If those Golden-Striped Prawns can reach adulthood within a year or two, I can also exchange their pincers and shells for an actual offensive magic weapon!”
Thinking about a bright future that he could look forward to, Wang Ping felt a flood of motivation coursing through his body.
He hurriedly went forward and used a steel knife mixed with black iron to cut open the corpse of the Waterwolf Beast. Extracting the intestines and other internal organs, he chopped them into pieces and placed them in a wooden pot. Then, he separated some of the bones from the meat and cut the meat into various different-sized pieces, before placing them into the pot
After working like this for about four hours, the sweat-drenched Wang Ping finally finished cleaning up the corpse of the Waterwolf Beast.
After that, he carried the wooden pot containing the internal organs and large amounts of chopped meat to a rocky beach on the east side of the island and poured everything inside into the sea.
Crash!
The sound of the Waterwolf Beast’s internal organs and chopped meat falling into the water seemed to have alerted something.
Soon, countless blue-black prawns that were about a foot long crawled out from various caves under the rocky beach. Using their pincers, they quickly grabbed a hold of the Waterwolf Beast’s internal organs and meat, dragging them back into the cave where they came from.

There were a total of 37 Golden-Striped Prawns, which could be said to be Wang Ping’s most valuable asset apart from the Heaven and Earth Beetle
An adult Golden-Striped Prawn would have faint golden spiritual marks on its blue-black shell. By then, it would also grow to more than three feet long. Counting the pincers on its head, it could even reach five feet.
This adult Golden-Striped Prawn was a true low-grade tier-1 demonic beast. Its combat strength in the water was decent, and it also had a fierce temperament.
Back when Wang Ping teamed up with other hunting groups to hunt for adult Golden-Striped Prawns, he had witnessed the prowess of this demon beast.
The Golden-Striped Prawns that he was currently raising were unexpected rewards from that hunting trip.
