Currently, Xiao Mu has many places where he needs to spend money, not just buying ginseng to increase his realm.

On top of this, his Dao Talismans have run out, and he needs to buy new yellow paper to remake them.

"It seems I have to find a way to make some money."

Xiao Mu sighed, casually opening the browser on his device.

Given the current rate at which he was spending, earning no matter how much might not even cover his expenses, he needed to find a way to make money online.

First of all, he needed to open the local forum. After the world mutated, more and more people started using the local forum for communication.

Because the world is vast, and the Mutated Beings all have their secrets to keep, a platform for mutual exchange is necessary.

The relevant department seems to understand the principle of "it's easier to unblock than to block," so as long as the exchanges between the mutated beings on the forum do not severely impact stability, they generally let it be.

As a result, there's an increasing frequency of exchanges among the mutated beings on the forums, even leading to various online transactions.

"Huh! Someone is buying Energy Crystals? 100,000 per gram."

The message caught Xiao Mu's eyes.

With the frequency of these transactions, many deals among mutated beings were becoming semi-public.

Of course, when it comes to trading valuable items, the majority still prefer local offline transactions. After all, each person has to be cautious due to the importance of these transactions.

Plus, the world has expanded and transportation is now inconvenient. It's more troublesome to travel to other cities for transactions. Thus, many people prefer local trades.

"The complete edition of 'Yijinjing' is being sold for 3.5 million,".

"Someone is seeking the purchase of the complete 'Nine Yang Divine Art,' offering a buying price of 5.3 million."

Xiao Mu quickly scanned through the various buying and selling messages. He quickly discovered that any secret manuals that could resist evil absurdities, whether they were martial arts, Taoist Law, or Buddhism-related, were all priced higher.

For instance, the pricing for the complete version of the 'Nine Yang Divine Art,' which is a top-tier Inner Energy manual, is much higher than that of the 'Yijinjing.'

After some time dealing with evil absurdities, mutated beings have realized that even if manuals are of the same tier, there's still a significant effectiveness difference in dealing with evil absurdities.

'Extremely Yang and Unyielding' class of martial arts manuals seems to achieve special effects when dealing with evil absurdities.

"Buying Buddhist Demon-subduing Mantra Scripture for 8 million, type doesn't matter, anyone willing to sell should contact me."

"Buying the Taoist Thunder Law Scripture for 10 million, type doesn't matter, anyone who has it please contact me".

The subsequent messages left Xiao Mu even more shocked. The prices for Buddhist and Taoist scriptures were even higher than the various secret manuals.

Xiao Mu, who hadn't seen that much money in his life, almost couldn't resist the urge to use his energy points to mutate secret manuals to sell after looking at the purchase prices.

"Lower profile, lower profile!"

Soon, Xiao Mu forcefully suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

To succeed, one must keep a low profile. With his energy points barely enough for his own use, how could he mutate some secret manuals to sell?

"Eh!"

Another piece of information attracted Xiao Mu's attention; the person who posted it was Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng must be a public account. The person operating this account might actually be an organization, not a single person. Or else, there's no way that one person could have gathered such comprehensive information as published last time.

Of course, this is just Xiao Mu's guess, but it is likely not far from the truth.

Somewhere deep down, Xiao Mu suspects whether the so-called Bai Xiaosheng is under the control of the relevant department. Because each of his publications seems to have a calming effect which seemingly serves to soothe public opinion.

This fact makes Xiao Mu couldn't help suspecting if the relevant department is behind Bai Xiaosheng. As for why they would publish it under a personal alias, the relevant department probably fears the resentments of the mutated beings.

After all, since the mutation, no one wants to deal with the relevant department, fearing the limitation of their freedom.

The title read: Local Hero Strength Rankings.

Xiao Mu opened the topic out of curiosity.

Bai Xiaosheng: Hello friends! It's Bai Xiaosheng again. Last time I mainly published about the Evil Ghost and Zombies. This time, I'm here to share the information I've collected recently about our local heroes.

The main reason for publishing local heroes' strength information is to reassure everyone. So our friends will know that even though the strength of these evil creatures is formidable, we humans also have heroes amongst us with the ability to resist these evil creatures and defend our homeland.

There is nothing to fear about these inferior beings.

At the same time, the local heroes who have their strength information published, please don't take offense.

The strength of local heroes is temporarily measured based on the levels of the Evil Ghosts and Zombies that these heroes have killed. It doesn't mean their absolute strength, so please everyone know this.

As for how to measure the strength of local heroes, there's no clear standard. But what makes one powerful? What kind of strength is considered powerful?

Undeniably, as it stands, anyone who can single-handedly kill Blood Demons and evil zombies is considered powerful.

Based on the information I've recently gathered, in Nanke City alone, these are the heroes capable of killing Blood Demons and evil zombies (The information is not comprehensive, those omitted heroes forgive me. If you can contact me and provide detailed kill information, I'll make up for the omission in later posts. So please if any omitted friends can, contact me, I promise to maintain your secrets to the best of my ability.), following are in no particular order, information till the time of posting this piece:

King Qingshan: Single-handedly killed a half-dead Blue Blood Ghost, known for cultivating Martial Arts Secret Scripts such as "Thunder Yang Divine Skill", "Great Demon-subduing Divine Fist", "Thunder Sword Technique", Qinggong unknown, others unknown.

Red Thread Woman: Single-handedly killed one green Blood Demon, one first-grade evil zombie, known martial arts secret scripts: "Nine Yang Skill", "Heavenly Buddha Palm", Qinggong "Ling Bo Weaving Steps", others unknown.

King of Thunder: Single-handedly killed two green Blood Demons, suspected mutation from eating mutant fruit, evolved lightning power, other unknown.

Amitabha: Single-handedly killed one first-grade evil zombie, known for cultivating secret scriptures: "Jade Buddha Technique" - Buddhism, suspected it's not a martial arts secret script, Buddhism "True Words", "Great Compassionate Thirty-Six Demon-subduing Pestles", no Qinggong, others unknown.

Lady Hero Fu Bo: Single-handedly killed one green Blood Demon...

...

As Xiao Mu continued reading, he was surprised to find his own name in the list, right after Lady Hero Fu Bo, unfortunately, the information seems incomplete.

Mr. Mu: Single-handedly killed one green Blood Demon, secret manuals cultivated: Unknown, Qinggong: Unknown, uses Peach Wood Sword as a weapon and Dao Talismans. Likely cultivating Taoist Law rather than martial arts secret manuals.

Even so, Xiao Mu was still slightly startled.

He didn't expect that Bai Xiaosheng managed to investigate his killing of Blood Demon. Bai Xiaosheng is really well informed.

But Bai Xiaosheng's information was not complete, for instance, he didn't know what type of Taoist Law Xiao Mu was cultivating, or that Xiao Mu had actually killed two Blood Demons rather than one.
