“Mm, I’ll sell some medicinal pills at the same time.”
As Chen An spoke, he took out the Level 3 medicinal pills he had refined in the past few days and placed them on the counter in front of him.
Shopkeeper Lu did not waste any time and immediately checked the goods.
A moment later, hopkeeper Lu smiled and said to Chen An,
“Alchemist Chen, the quality of the medicinal pills today is better than last time. However, the number is less than half. Let’s round it up. How about 100 high-grade spirit stones?”
“Yes, sure.”
Chen An nodded. This price was in line with his expectations.
Then, he said, “Shopkeeper Lu, please exchange these 100 high-grade spirit stones for the Level 3 medicinal pill formulas for me.”
When Shopkeeper Lu heard this, the expression on his face immediately became even more enthusiastic. “Alright, Alchemist Chen, wait a moment. I’ll do the trade for you now.”
Not long after.
Shopkeeper Lu returned with a few Level 3 medicinal pill formulas and handed them to Chen An respectfully.
Chen An took it and took a look. After feeling that there was nothing wrong, he put it into his storage ring.
Ever since he took Jiu Ji’s storage ring for himself, he liked to use storage rings more than storage bags.
“Shopkeeper Lu, why is there a pile of books on this counter?”
Chen An looked at the book on the counter at the side. At first, he thought it was a technique, but after taking a closer look, he realized that it was a storybook. He could not help but ask curiously.
Shopkeeper Lu smiled and explained, “This is a storybook written by some scholars in the mortal world. I saw that many Cultivators liked to read it, so I specially sent someone to the mortal world to buy a batch back and use it as a gift for customers who come to the trading company to spend.”
“I see.”
Chen An nodded and walked over curiously to flip through it.
‘Monk Lianyao’, ‘Silver Plum’, ‘Silver Lotus’, ‘Temple Fox’, ‘Demon Fox Goes to Hell’, ‘Immortal Fox Cultivation’, ‘Records of Fairy Qiongming’…
“Interesting. Almost half of them are related to fox demons. Looks like these scholars in the mortal world like to fantasize about fox demons.”
Chen An smiled and said.
Shopkeeper Lu smiled and said, “After all, all the fox demons are devastatingly beautiful, pure, and lustful. They’re every man’s dream partner.”
Chen An: “Aren’t these scholars afraid of being squeezed dry by the fox demon?”
Shopkeeper Lu: “Alchemist Chen, if you die under a beauty, you can be a playboy even if you become a ghost.”
Chen An agreed with this sentence.
He continued to flip through these storybooks a few times and did not see anything he wanted. He asked, “Shopkeeper Lu, do you have any proper books here? 1 plan to bring a few back for my wives and daughters to use.”
Shopkeeper Lu shook his head and said with a smile, “Then 1 might have to disappoint Alchemist Chen. There are too few people who like to read proper books. They basically won’t be sold in the trading company.”
“However, after turning left for about two to three miles, you will see a bookstore. There are books suitable for your wives and daughters to read.”
After saying that, Shopkeeper Lu smiled and said, “Alchemist Chen, although the books on the counter are indecent, to be honest, they’re written strangely and seductively. Most of the fairies in them are described as very wanton. Many male Cultivators can’t stop reading them.”
“Especially those books about fox demons. Not only do male Cultivators like to read them, but even female Cultivators like to read them too. The love and hatred in them are especially outstanding. Many female Cultivators can’t help but find a companion for themselves after reading them, yearning to obtain the love in the books.”
“Alchemist Chen, if you want, you can take a few back to admire them.”
Anyway, it was a free gift. It would be a waste not to take it.
Chen An was a little interested in the fox demon now, so he took two of the storybooks about the fox demon each and put them in his storage ring.
The reason why he took two books each was that apart from wanting to read them himself, he also wanted to show them to Jiu Ji imprisoned in the cave.
Firstly, he felt that if he kept Jiu Ji imprisoned in the cave and did not find something for her to play with, it would easily drive her crazy.
Secondly, he wanted to use these books to make Jiu Ji yearn for love. He wanted to see if he could slowly conquer her in the future and make her his woman. This way, he could convert his enemy into his concubine. It was simply perfect.
“They’re all books about fox demons. Looks like Alchemist Chen likes fox demons too.”
Shopkeeper Lu teased with a smile.
Although Chen An was not serious at home, he was a serious person outside.
Being teased by Shopkeeper Lu, he immediately revealed a disdainful expression and said, “Humans and demons have different paths, but these human scholars actually want to mess with the demons every day. 1 have to criticize them.”
Shopkeeper Lu smiled without saying anything.
But soon, he looked at Chen An with a smile and said,
“Speaking of which, Alchemist Chen is really an esteemed guest of our Lu Clan Trading Company.”
“Every time he comes, not only does he sell a large number of high-quality medicinal pills to us, but he also spends generously here, allowing our Lu Trading Company to earn twice as much.”
“This extravagant performance makes me want to marry my daughter to you.”
“It’s a pity that my daughter is already a wife. Otherwise, I would definitely wash up and send her to your house tonight.”
When he said the last sentence, Shopkeeper Lu’s tone could not help but become a little regretful.
At this moment, a flirtatious female voice sounded from outside the door. “Shopkeeper Lu, you’re wrong. You can have a lover when you’re married. Besides, many men like to have many wives now. Perhaps Alchemist Chen likes them too.”
Chen An looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman who was dressed skimpily. Her figure was very seductive, but her appearance was more or less inferior.
This was a young woman selling spirit cakes opposite the Lu Corporation’s trading company.
She had a husband who hunted outside all year round and a daughter in her teens.
Chen An had bought a few boxes of spirit cakes from this young woman and had exchanged a few words with her.
At that time, this young woman had flirted with Chen An a lot, hinting that she and her daughter could do it.
Chen An ignored her at that time and kept a respectful distance.
At this moment, he didn’t want to bother with her.
“Go away, you slut. Don’t come over and praise yourself.”
When Shopkeeper Lu saw this young woman, he immediately looked as if he had seen a ghost and instantly became impatient.
The young woman walked in as usual. As she walked, she rebuked, “Shopkeeper Lu, you didn’t say that about me in bed. Why do you not recognise me when you’re clothed up during the day?”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
Shopkeeper Lu raised his eyebrows and gave the young woman a subtle look, hinting that there were outsiders here and asking her to read the room.
The young woman glanced at Chen An beside her and realized that she had said something wrong.
Chen An ignored the adulterous couple and pretended not to hear their conversation as he left the trading company.
He was in no hurry to go home after leaving the house.
Instead, he followed the route Shopkeeper Lu had given him just now and turned left towards the bookstore there. He wanted to buy some proper books there for his wives and daughters to read for their amusement.
After Chen An left.
Shopkeeper Lu took out a bag of spirit stones and placed it in front of the young woman. He instructed in a low voice, “In the future, don’t come to my place during the day if you have nothing to do. If your husband finds out, both of us will have to bear the consequences!”
“Heh, how cowardly.”
The young woman mocked Shopkeeper Lu before picking up the bag of spirit stones that he had placed on the table.
After putting the bag of spirit stones into her storage bag, the young woman suddenly became a little worried.
“Shopkeeper Lu, my husband sent me a voice transmission last night. He said that he’s going to hunt that python demon with your Lu family in half a month. I heard from him that the python demon has already shed its skin and transformed into a flood dragon, becoming a ninth level Golden Core great demon. Will my husband be in danger if he follows?”
Although this young woman was having an affair, she was still worried about her husband and his safety.
Shopkeeper Lu replied, “Don’t worry. Our Lu Family’s matriarch has used his connections to invite a deacon from the Heaven Earth Sect to come out of seclusion. That deacon’s cultivation is at the perfected ninth tier of the Golden Core realm. It’s not a problem for him to deal with a mere python demon.”
The young woman heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Then I’m relieved.”
With that, she took advantage of the fact that there were no customers in the trading company and crawled under the counter in front of Shopkeeper Lu with a charming smile.
Shopkeeper Lu was frightened by her bold actions. He subconsciously wanted to stop her, but seeing that there was no one around, he chose to take the risk and enjoy himself.
On the other hand, Chen An carefully selected a pile of books for his wives and daughters in the bookstore.
When he felt that he had bought enough, he flew towards the cave on his sword.
He wanted to send the indecent books on fox demons that he had obtained for free from the Lu Corporation’s trading company to Jiu Ji, who was a fox demon..
