You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Wang Pijiang only paid eighty copper coins for a piece of high-quality white wolf belly fur.

If it was of poor quality, with mixed colors or damage, it would fetch an even lower price.

Over twenty white wolf pelts added up to less than two thousand copper coins.

Were the prices really this unreasonable?

If you wanted to stay in the village, even the cheapest overnight accommodation would cost over a hundred copper coins.

And a decent wolf pelt was only worth eighty?

However, eating was not that outrageous; if you weren't after a feast of fish and meat, a few coins a day would be enough. It was just the accommodation that was ridiculously priced.

It seemed that Beiyuan Village was taking advantage of the ghost disturbances at night to overcharge guests?

But Lin Yue had the nagging feeling that there was a special reason behind such lodging prices and it wasn't just about fleecing guests on the surface.

Lin Yue carried the wolf pelts to check with Liang the tailor in the village and found out that Liang was not willing to pay him for them, only willing to use the wolf pelts to make clothes to hang in his store for sale, offering to split the profit.

Although the wolf pelts were somewhat resistant to cold, they weren't particularly attractive or sturdy. Lin Yue therefore gave up on that plan.

In the end, he went back to Wang Pijiang and sold them for one thousand nine hundred copper coins.

As for the Iron Embryo Bow, the village's blacksmith, Zhang, was also a buyer, but the price wasn't high: one Iron Embryo Bow for one thousand seven hundred copper coins.

After inquiring around, Lin Yue chose to sell one of the Iron Embryo Bows to a hunter in Beiyuan Village for two thousand copper coins.

The other three Iron Embryo Bows he kept one for himself, and sold two to the village blacksmith, Zhang, in exchange for three thousand four hundred copper coins, plus free repair work on his own bow.

——When he previously killed Xiahong Yuanyu and others, the Flying Knife had notched the Iron Embryo Bow; he dared not draw the bow fully.

As for the other items, he kept them all for himself, for either future use or because the selling price was too low; it was more worthwhile to hold on to them for backups.

"One, two, three..."

Lin Yue counted the money in his hand and couldn't help feeling somewhat resigned.

One big money was a thousand copper coins.

Together with the money he had gained from robbing bandits before, he had a little over seven big monies in total.

A thousand big monies still seemed far off.

"Hunting is too inefficient unless I can find some precious game."

While eating lunch, Lin Yue contemplated, "Hunting probably doesn't have much of a future. I also don't know much about business or medicinal herb gathering. If I want to make big money in the Beiyuan Mountain..."

"Hm... I can only make the most of my personal strengths."

Lin Yue pondered carefully.

"I have three advantages."

"First, the Seventh Princess has been good to me; we've developed some rapport. If all else fails, I could talk to her and say, 'You wouldn't want the whole world to know your secret of being the Medical Saint Qiu Zhi, would you?...'

"With her reputation, she can easily win people's hearts, and she would definitely be seen as a threat by other princes, which is likely why she has been hiding her identity all this time. With this secret, I could talk to her, and she should agree to my not-so-excessive requests..."

"The second advantage is my Nine Death Selfless Divine Ability, which still has a weak effect, making my recovery power dozens of times stronger than others. I can fully push beyond my limits to have a fierce battle and then come back to recuperate without fearing death or debilitation."

"But my greatest advantage is Secret Listening."

Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, "The longer I stay in the Beiyuan Mountain, the more secrets I will obtain. Not only might I chance upon opportunities, but I could also discover chances to make money."

After further thought, he already had a rough plan to make money.

"Unfortunately, the people in the village are also unclear about the haunting."

Lin Yue felt somewhat helpless.

Today, while selling wolf pelts and the Iron Embryo Bow, he had asked many people and even spent some money, but no one knew what was really behind the haunting.

One thing was for certain—

In Beiyuan Village, anyone who spent the night outside the residential homes, no matter how high their Martial Arts, would mysteriously die.

"I need to find a way to see this so-called ghost with my own eyes."

Lin Yue thought in secret, "With my Innate Divine Power of Secret Listening, as long as I come face to face with someone, I can quickly learn their secrets. If I witness it myself, the hope of discovering related secrets should be much higher..."

After pondering for a good while.

"I've got it!" Suddenly, an idea struck Lin Yue.
