After entering Five Extremes Mountain, Liou Yuan always had the idea to go to the library on the fifth peak to look for clues about the Evil Eyes.

But immediately following, there was a tight schedule of cultivation, and Liou Yuan hardly ever left Xiaopei Mountain, seldom even stepping outside the door.

This excursion was due to the Fixed Star Compass being full, and Liou Yuan did not want to waste this opportunity, thus had to leave the mountain.

As a result, he was delayed.

So regarding the talent of Evil Eyes, he remained somewhat in the dark.

If not for the sudden explosion of unusual power from the Evil Eyes this time, he might have continued to delay dealing with it.

"I can’t put this off any longer. After returning to the sect, I must visit the library and take a look." Liou Yuan felt the Evil Eyes might be even more extraordinary than he imagined, which drew his utmost attention.

Having made up his mind, Liou Yuan withdrew from his thoughts, planning to go through the related texts in the library after returning to the sect.

He quickly noticed the movement within the Fixed Star Compass inside him.

After he killed the Baby-eating Mink, a light spot appeared on the mink’s body and was absorbed by the Fixed Star Compass.

Accompanied by the light’s breathing from the center of the compass, a jade scroll with an ancient design appeared above the Fixed Star Compass’s body.

It was merely the reward for slaying this Baby-eating Mink this time, and with a thought, Liou Yuan could retrieve it.

"Heh, it must be the magical jade scroll of the Magic Treading Flowing Waves."

Liou Yuan sensed the existence of the jade scroll and felt secretly pleased.

However, since Qiu Ming was present, it was not the time to take it out.

He held back his desire to inspect the magical jade scroll and attempted to move his body, having already restored some spiritual power within.

He immediately stood up and began to work along with Qiu Ming, saying, "The fur at the tail of this Baby-eating Mink is extremely suitable for crafting talisman pens, let me do it, your clumsy hands might ruin it."

Together, the two spent the time of a stick of incense to disassemble the corpse of the Baby-eating Mink.

They obtained fur, teeth, and claws, three parts that could be used to craft magical artifacts.

Also, there were the tail’s spiritual fur for making talisman pens and twelve bottles of demon blood.

In total, five valuable parts.

As for the meat of the Baby-eating Mink, they did not touch it.

This creature is specially a child-eating monster, and the thought of it having eaten the brain of a child made Liou Yuan feel nauseous by the mere imagination.

Finally, Qiu Ming chopped off the head of the Baby-eating Mink and hung it on his waistband, ready to take it back to Five Extremes Mountain to complete the task.

After all this, the residents of Yongquan Town began to emerge from their homes.

Seeing the head of the Baby-eating Mink hanging from Qiu Ming’s belt, the town erupted in cheers and jubilation.

Many townsfolk who had lost their children to the Baby-eating Mink cried tears of joy.

Everyone knelt down before Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming, chanting their gratitude to the two sect immortals for removing the monster.

Liou Yuan paused for a few moments, his spiritual power having recovered a bit more, then exchanged a few polite words with several town elders led by the old village chief.

He and Qiu Ming returned to that cellar, releasing the children who had been hiding inside.

Since the Baby-eating Mink had been eliminated, these children no longer needed to worry about encountering danger and naturally could come out safely.

The townsfolk who had been waiting above the cellar took their respective children home.

Only the cellar, ravaged by the battle between Qiu Ming and the Baby-eating Mink, and the flickering kerosene lamp inside the cellar remained.

Liou Yuan half-crouched down, gazed at the torn human skin, with contemplation in his eyes.

He could never have imagined that the Baby-eating Mink had such means, able to wear human skin and mingle among the children.

Precisely because he hadn’t anticipated this, he hadn’t used the Evil Eyes to inspect the children, for who would be vigilant against children.

Of course, the main reason was Liou Yuan’s lack of experience dealing with monsters and evil.

Previously in Yanhe City, he was mostly dealing with Star Evil.

"Merely a mountain monster, yet it possesses such a disguise technique."

Liou Yuan muttered, reaching out to pick up the human skin, sighing, "It’s still a matter of negligence, such mistakes mustn’t be repeated in the future."

Qiu Ming stood behind Liou Yuan, feeling the cheek where the Baby-eating Mink had ambushed him, showing a look of lingering regret.

"Luckily you warned me in time, else I’d be in deep trouble today."

Liou Yuan looked at Qiu Ming’s large face, which was only slightly red, not even breaking the skin.

He also silently thought, "The Baby-eating Mink is at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, physically strong, yet this fool took a hit without harm, truly thick-skinned and robust."

Previously, Liou Yuan’s Lion’s Roar Spell had also failed to cause significant damage to Qiu Ming, which he attributed to the cultivation technique practiced by Qiu Ming.

Liou Yuan didn’t inquire further, handing the human skin over to Qiu Ming, saying, "Deliver this human skin to his parents; at least there won’t be an empty burial."

"Hmm." Qiu Ming accepted the child’s human skin, muttering a response, and walked out of the cellar.

After going through so much, the sky outside had already begun to brighten.

Under the enthusiastic reception of the village chief, Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming were well taken care of.

After having a hearty meal, Liou Yuan was in no hurry to leave.

He still kept thinking about the Spirit Platform Ore Vein beneath Yongquan Town that the Fixed Star Compass had detected.

Thus, citing the severe snowstorm outside as making travel difficult, he decided to rest for a day in Yongquan Town.

Qiu Ming was naturally delighted and went to the village chief’s house with the Baby-eating Mink’s head to seek some wine.

Liou Yuan, on the other hand, wandered alone within Yongquan Town.

His idea was simple, to seek a sample of the mineral stone from the underground ore vein. With a sample, at least he could estimate the value of this micro ore vein.
