Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Is this taking advantage of the fire to rob?
Xie Jiuniang did not recognize the man in green clothes.
However, the person who had saved her and taken away the Broken Sword in her previous life wielded a long spear.
Seven more people arrived subsequently, teammates of the man in green.
Oh, just happened to have seven teammates too.
The assessnt was only on its first day and all sorts of monsters and demons had already appeared.
Soon, the two Demon Crocodiles were jointly killed.
Axing’s plan was disrupted, and he even went up to thank the others, “I am Sun Axing, I thank the fellow daoist for lending a hand.”
“It was nothing.” The man in green was sowhat aloof.
Right at that mont, one of the man in green’s teammates exclaid in surprise, “Strange, we’re quite far from any water source, how co there are two Demon Crocodiles here?”
Cheng Huaixin’s group of four felt a tightness in their hearts.
Xie Jiuniang’s eyes sparkled brightly.
Well, it looked like a confrontation was brewing!
And then, Xie Jiuniang also showed a hint of subtle suspicion just in ti.
Cheng Huaixin forced a smile, “We’re probably just unlucky, I guess.”
Axing speculated along, “Could it be that the Sect deliberately released them?”
The two of them covertly watched Xie Jiuniang’s reaction, and seeing her nod as if in agreent, they couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief internally.
The corpses of the two Demon Crocodiles, one for each team.
Xie Jiuniang had not contributed, so she could only watch.
By the ti they were finished, night was nearly upon them.
Xie Jiuniang did not ntion leaving, so naturally, Cheng Huaixin’s group of four did not suggest departing either.
The n in green didn’t leave. They started two bonfires and began roasting fresh crocodile at, which was tender, full of Spiritual Energy, and aromatic.
Cheng Huaixin invited Xie Jiuniang over to eat together.
Xie Jiuniang did not decline, “I won’t eat for free. I’ll treat you to so Spirit Fruit.”
While speaking, she took out four fist-sized red-skinned fruits and handed one to each person.
The Spirit Fruit was a type of low-level Spirit Fruit with high yield in the Eastern Region, sweet and crisp, and also affordable. One Spirit Stone could buy five pounds, and it was very popular among female cultivators and children.
Mo Lan had stuffed quite a few into Xie Jiuniang’s Storage Bag to satisfy cravings during the assessnt period.
Cheng Huaixin and the others were secretly pleased.
Communication was good, familiarity would co with ti.
At this ti, a charming female cultivator from the group in green approached with a friendly smile and asked Xie Jiuniang, “Little sister, it’s a bit greasy just eating roasted at, could you sell so Spirit Fruits to sister?”
Xie Jiuniang’s eyes lit up, “I can, one Spirit Stone each. How many would sister like?”
The charming female cultivator almost couldn’t maintain her smile.
Was this highway robbery?
One Spirit Stone could buy five pounds of Spirit Fruit, and she was asking for one Spirit Stone each? There were three to four fruits in a pound.
Xie Jiuniang said with a smile, “Sister, the circumstances are special during the assessnt, once you leave this village, there won’t be another store like this.”
The female cultivator glanced back at the man in green and saw him nodding. She then said with a smile, “Okay then, I’ll take eight.”
“Alrighty, feel free to co again next ti.”
Xie Jiuniang smilingly exchanged eight Spirit Fruits for eight Spirit Stones.
Then, she looked towards Cheng Huaixin’s group of four, “Would you like any?”
“No need, I have the ones you gave,” Axing quickly shook her head.
One Spirit Stone for a Spirit Fruit, she would not do such a foolish thing.
Cheng Huaixin’s group of three also shook their heads.
Spirit Stones are better saved for purchasing resources for Qi Cultivation; Spirit Fruit is just a treat.
Xie Jiuniang’s face showed a hint of disappointnt, but she quickly perked up, recalling a potential way to earn a profit, “Fellow daoists, I not only have Spirit Fruits here but also various Elixirs, Array Plates, Talismans, and Magic Artifacts and so on. The prices are fair, and no deception for young or old.”
The man in green’s eyes flickered slightly, “Xie daoist has Magic Artifacts? Could you display them for us to see?”
“Ah, Magic Artifacts are pretty average, well… How about looking at so Talismans?”
Xie Jiuniang laid out a Bone Knife and the Flying Sword.
These Magic Artifacts were still manufactured in Yunmu City; due to material restrictions, they were all the lowest grade of Magic Artifacts. She had only sold a few at Xi’an City’s Fangshi last ti.
Xie Jiuniang picked up a small Bone Knife and began to promote it, “Take a look at this knife, isn’t it delicate? And very sharp—perfect for cutting at.”
She then demonstrated it on a piece of Demon Crocodile at, slicing out a thin slice effortlessly.
The man in green was not interested.
Axing, showing interest, asked, “How much for this knife?”
“Not expensive at all, ten Spirit Stones for one,” Xie Jiuniang said, aiming to open her business with fair pricing that was only two or three stones higher than the market.
Seeing Axing hesitate, Xie Jiuniang added, “How about this, I’ll give you a 10% discount for the roast at you treated
to.”
“It’s still too expensive, I just want to buy one for cutting at,” Axing said, lifting the sword in her hand.
Just now, for cutting at, using a sword ant for killing…
Xie Jiuniang felt relieved that the at was still roasting, and she hadn’t tasted it yet, “Fine then, I’ll sell you one for seven stones.”
Axing paid seven Spirit Stones and took a Bone Knife.
Opening sales, just one sold.
Xie Jiuniang didn’t care much, packing everything up. Today was just the first day, and there would be many more days to co.
Suddenly, Cheng Huaixin swung a blade toward Axing, “Be careful!”
Swish!
A small snake was chopped into two halves.
Xie Jiuniang got a huge scare.
Did she think they were about to kill each other?
Axing, completely unconcerned, used a twig to flick the snake corpse into a nearby thicket.
Xie Jiuniang beca a bit more cautious, glancing around the dark jungle, “Fellow daoists, do you feel it’s gotten a bit too quiet around here?”
The man in green finally spoke up, “It seems like sothing’s approaching.”
When sothing’s off, there must be demons.
A dozen people instantly beca vigilant.
Everyone drew out their weapons, standing back to the campfire.
Xie Jiuniang quietly cut off the tenderest several dozen pounds of at from the Demon Crocodile, placed it in a large wooden basin, and stored it in her Storage Bag.
Cheng Huaixin and a few others looked at her with puzzlent.
Xie Jiuniang righteously said, “We had an agreent that you would treat
to roast at, and I’ve even contributed four Spirit Fruits. Now it looks like the roasting is going to be a bust, it’s not unreasonable for
to take my share of the at, right?”
A Demon Crocodile over a thousand pounds, taking a few dozen pounds of at, was nothing to them.
But the girl’s cunning move still shocked them.
Right at that mont.
An eerie shadow flashed like lightning, rushing toward the Qi Cultivator standing at the edge, the closest one to it!
Too fast!
It was a Wild Boar Demon with terrifying fangs; if the cultivator got hit, it would most likely be fatal.
“Second brother, watch out!”
A female cultivator cried out in shock, her eyes wide with terror.
But to save him was already too late!
Suddenly, a flash of white light streaked past.
The white light pierced into the Wild Boar Demon’s neck, a Bone Knife with a Paralysis Talisman attached to its handle.
“Freeze!”
The Paralysis Talisman activated in ti.
Talisman Light enveloped the Wild Boar Demon, still struggling but already immobilized by inertia, completely paralyzing it.
“Keng…”
A fully-grown Wild Boar Demon, charging at full force, was terrifying. The Paralysis Talisman could only hold it for a mont or two; the fatal blow was the stab from the Bone Knife.
The knife had pierced its neck!
Death was inevitable, only the ti it took was in question.
As expected, the blood flowed from the Wild Boar Demon’s neck, its robust limbs twitched a few tis, and then it died.
Xie Jiuniang reacted too quickly.
Faster than anyone else!
Xie Jiuniang didn’t forget her pitch, “My Bone Knife is not bad, right? It can pierce through the skin of a grown Wild Boar Demon, only twelve Spirit Stones each.”
“Paralysis Talisman, a life-saving necessity… first-rate talismans, only twenty Spirit Stones each,” Xie Jiuniang felt she was offering a conscience price.
Xie Jiuniang said this while collecting the Beast Blood in containers, necessary for crafting talismans.
Other people were shocked but also speechless at her aggressive sales pitch despite saving a life.
The Bone Knife’s price went up?!
Soon they had no more ti to think about it, as several more Wild Boar Demons arrived.
“Keng, keng…”
