Within the grand and majestic Ming Family Manor at Moonlight Market, Chen Dengming followed a female cultivator of the Ming family into a corridor fenced with intricately carved railings.
Walking behind her, he admired her graceful and enticing movements and her unique gait, wondering if she was deliberately trying to allure him with her walk.
Finally, the two arrived at a colossal building that looked like a warehouse.
“Brother Chen, we’re all set, you can pile up the corpses of the demonic spiders you’ve hunted here,” she said.
The female cultivator, with a smile in her bright eyes, gestured him to proceed.
The doors to the warehouse-like building opened, and several cultivators came out to greet Chen Dengming with friendly smiles and salutes.
...
Inside the building hung numerous beast corpses, a strong, fetid smell hitting Chen Dengming squarely in the face.
This gave Chen a clear idea of the size of the Ming family’s recent monster beast hunting haul.
Chen Dengming nodded slightly, released two storage bags, and four spider demon corpses flew out and landed on the ground, all having been slightly frozen.
Among them, the largest was that of a seventh Qi Cultivation-layered demonic spider.
It gave off a strong and conspicuous aura of evil qi.
“It’s a high-ranked Green Backed Water Spider indeed!”
The female cultivator gasped, momentarily losing her usual composure and courtesy.
The cultivators behind her were equally surprised and taken aback.
A stout middle-aged man immediately approached, laying his hand on the beast’s corpse, his eyes full of joy.
“Excellent, excellent!
This is precisely the sort of high-quality material Master Liu has been waiting for.”
Chen Dengming greeted them with a courteous smile, “As per our agreement, I will sell the demonic spider bodies to the Ming family for half the market price.
However …
This one’s a high-ranked monster, so its value is hard to estimate.
There hasn’t been any high-rank spiders in the Moonlight Market lately, has there?”
The female cultivator nodded, understanding the implication of Chen Dengming’s words.
The value of a high-ranked demonic beast is in a league of its own.
Chen Dengming had no obligation to bring it here for trade.
If he did bring it, it meant that he was demonstrating trust and respect for the Ming family.
After steadying herself, the female cultivator laughed and said, “You make a fair point, Brother Chen.
The Ming family always prioritizes harmonious transactions and refuses to deceive others, whether old or young.
However …
you must consider this high-ranked beast as two demonic spiders.
We need to settle this aspect…”
…
Half an hour later.
Chen Dengming, having declined the generous offer of the Ming family, left his Ice Spirit Sword to be re-crafted and upgraded, and left the Ming Family Manor satisfied.
Having proven his capability to slay a high-ranked demonic beast, the Ming family improved their manner, promising even more favorable terms than before.
They also made certain concessions during the trading process.
No matter where one goes, strength is what ultimately speaks.
Chen Dengming was pleased with the transaction.

The Ming family had a solid reputation and there were no foul plays.
For the high-ranked demonic spider, the Ming family offered two solutions — they could either purchase it at the rate of the best price of those of recent market sales, deducted by 20%, or after upgrading Chen Dengming’s Ice Spirit Sword, they offered to additionally craft a high-ranked magical artifact using materials from the spider’s body.
A high-ranked artifact is valued at around eight to thirty mid-grade spirit stones, with the actual price depending on the performance.
Chen Dengming ultimately chose the latter, to add another high-ranked artifact to his collection.
He was about to enter a period of isolated cultivation again.
This time, he intended to remain in seclusion until he reached the ninth Qi Cultivation layer.
When his mana increases again, he shouldn’t have much difficulty controlling a few more high-ranked artifacts.
Now, he had successfully obtained a high-ranked Daoist technique “Watery Yin Wood Poisonous Gu Skill” from the Ming family and had his Ice Spirit Sword upgraded to a high-ranked artifact.
He had accumulated nine mid-grade Spirit Stones by selling off all the demonic beast corpses he hunted over this period.
After giving one to Xu Wei and including his previous savings, he had a total of fifteen mid-grade Spirit Stones and more than a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.
For a Qi cultivation practitioner, even a high-ranked one, this was a substantial fortune.
Although Zhu didn’t receive a share from the demon spider’s sale, he still earned nearly eight mid-grade Spirit Stones from his 70% share of the other beasts.
This made Zhu so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling.
Zhu was passionately determined to follow Chen Dengming.
He babbled about how he felt like he had been living like a dog in the past, but after following Brother Chen, he had truly started living, enjoying delicious food and spicy drinks.
However, Chen Dengming was temporarily content and prepared to resume his isolated cultivation to further his abilities.
With a peaceful environment, it was the perfect time for him to cultivate.
As for Boss Hu’s speculation about tensions between the Luo and Ming families due to Luo Family’s threats from six hundred miles away, Chen Dengming thought he was just making up nonsense.
Luo Bing seemed to lack the interest to expand her family business aggressively and was planning to return to the Sect at any moment.
Leaving Luo Ping behind in Le Mountain Gully couldn’t possibly pose a significant competitive threat to the Ming family.
There was no chance of any conflict occurring under such circumstances.
All of the conjectures of conflict were merely figments of the imagination of the various merchants in the Moonlight Market, devised to drive up the prices.
Before he began his cultivation seclusion, Chen Dengming visited the Business League shop once more to collect from Boss Hu the latest batch of spiritual body nourishments and Gu raising materials that he had ordered.
Then he bid farewell to his neighbor, Zhu, and prepared to start his new self-imposed isolation period.
…
“Brother Chen, how many months are you planning to seclude yourself this time?
Don’t you find it boring?” asked Zhu, puzzled.
Zhu was a restless person.
Asking him to stay inside and cultivate for several months would be unbearable.
He only practiced cultivation techniques when he went to sleep every night.
