Chapter 64: 056: False Core Great Cultivator, First Block of Thousands of Miles Frontier (Big Chapter Request Subscription)_3 Chapter 64: 056: False Core Great Cultivator, First Block of Thousands of Miles Frontier (Big Chapter Request Subscription)_3 He cast another subtle glance at the four cultivators who had already left in the distance, then turned his gaze to the demonic beast that had been killed on the ground, somewhat speechless at this idiocy of the beast.
Just now, this beast had suddenly rushed out of the nearby bushes, startling them, only to reveal itself as a Level Two Qi Cultivation Beast.
Perhaps, having fed upon too many bipeds, it had become overly confident and dared to bear its teeth at humans.
As for Chen Dengming’s dismissive comments, Jiang Qiang was rendered somewhat speechless, left with nothing to do but to process the corpse of the beast quietly.
A Level Two Demonic Beast was still a beast, with thick hide and sharp claws and teeth, exhibiting swift and fierce attacks, and tremendous strength.
If he encountered it, he may have ended up in a rather awkward situation, even possibly injured.
However, all it took for Chen Dengming was to cast his flying dagger magic artifact, casually resolving the problem in a manner that seemed effortless and relaxed.
...
Still, the power he demonstrated was so striking and intimidating that it alarmed and repelled nearby loose cultivators who had been attracted by the beast’s howl.
After alternating their route to take shortcuts, the two of them had encountered some demonic beasts along the way.
Some of them would flee at the mere scent of their aura of spiritual might.
This creature, the hyena-like beast daring to bare its teeth was indeed the first of its kind.
However, it illustrated the difficulty of traveling from the assembled location to the Brocade Mill, despite bypassing the main road that was a feeding ground for demonic birds, as there were other beasts that existed along the way.
For a typical Level One or Two Qi Cultivator, traveling from the assembled location to the Jingxiu Workshop would be arduous and fraught with danger, practically a fight for survival.
After processing the body of the hyena beast, they roasted and ate two of its hind legs on the spot before they continued on their journey.
…
One day later.
The city walls and clusters of buildings ahead were finally visible over the horizon.
Both Chen Dengming and his partner let out sighs of relief, feeling the breeze sweeping across their faces, refreshing their hearts and spirits, no longer worn out and dusty.
It was only then that they realized, whether it was the demonic bird or the other beasts, they seemed to have a strong sense of territory and seldom hunted for food near the Jingxiu Workshop.
Even if they were chasing their ‘prey’, as long as it made it within a few dozen miles of the Jingxiu Workshop, the demonic bird would give up the pursuit and turn away, as if it had suffered losses in the area before.
“For this demonic bird, the food from that dining area is a frequent sight, there is no need to risk approaching the Jingxiu Workshop.
After all, once injured, in the even crueler world of the beasts where survival of the fittest reigns, the outcome may be death.” Chen Dengming thoughtfully gazed into the distance, understanding dawning in his heart.
Looking around, the scattered cultivators who had gradually arrived near the Jingxiu Workshop also relaxed, no longer fearful and constantly hiding.
What a cash cow the Jingxiu Workshop is!
The mere display of deterring mighty beasts alone is a testament to its powerful display of strength…
…
“Jingxiu Workshop, finally got to the Jingxiu Workshop.
Brother Chen, see those array flags on the city wall there?
They are part of the Mixed Wind and Fierce Fire Formation, a very powerful defensive and offensive array…that demonic bird must surely fear this array.”
With a face full of emotion, Jiang Qiang looked at the far-off Jingxiu Workshop, reminiscent of a small fortress.
Chen Dengming, also slightly relaxed, looked ahead.
He saw a rather large city built against the backdrop of Bright Cloud Mountain with an extraordinary aura.
The city walls rose several feet high, array flags scattered all around, towering imposingly, even without any sign of anger displayed.
Labeling it the leading workshop in the Thousand Miles Frontier was an understatement; it would be more accurate to describe it as a cultivator’s town, certainly more magnificent than the assembly site he originally saw.
Compared to this well-planned and -constructed town, the assembly site was a slum, as if a child had haphazardly cobbled it together.
However, considering the chaotic environment of the assembly site, that’s understandable.
Whether an ordinary person or a cultivator, the assembly site was always getting crowded, and there were always people coming and going.
Who would care to properly build any houses or buildings there?
What was the point of building them so well?
During fights, many buildings would collapse, wasting resources.
Anyone who likes, build your own, hence the architectural style of the gathering place varies greatly, with both good and bad.
Brocade Mill is a delicate porcelain, a unique industry of the Lin Family.
Here, the Lin Family’s rules are the rules, and they can make a lot of money every year from entrance fees and accommodation fees, naturally, the construction must be up to standard.
…
After a cup of tea.
Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang directly paid eighty spiritual grains as entrance and overnight accommodation fees, and entered the Brocade Mill, which is always protected by formations.
The main roads in the city are wide, with branching roads going in all directions, orderly, forming a crisscrossing rectangular road system connected together.
On both sides of the street, various shops are lined up, such as talisman and charms shops, magic artifacts shops, cultivation technique shops, or spirit rice shops, spirit meat shops, spirit drug shops and so forth.
Besides that, at the corners of some alleyways, there are even vendors selling various goods, often attracting people to gather around and enquire about the price, bustling and lively, a vibrant scene.
The entire Jingxiu Workshop can be described as having a warm and enthusiastic commercial atmosphere, with a strong local flavor.
Chen Dengming has been in the Cultivation World for so long, this is the first time he has had a strong impulse to go shopping whether he buys anything or not.
However, at this point, it is more important to focus on business.
The two of them browsed through many stall stands, none of them were selling demonic beast meat, but they did see some people selling Gu objects.
However, with Chen Dengming’s experience in Gu refining, he could tell at a glance that the Reed Beetle Gu and Stone Gu being sold were counterfeit Gu.
“A small workshop from the gathering place?”
Chen Dengming made a mental note of this but did not immediately inquire about the price.
The current observation of the market besides the spirit meat shop, no one is selling demonic beast meat, which means demonic beast meat is very popular in the market, and we can also imagine how difficult it is to deal with demonic beasts.
Much of this thousands of miles frontier are loose cultivators, not many of them can kill demonic beasts on their own, even if small teams can, few dare to take risks.

The two of them understood the rules of buying and selling transactions in the Jingxiu Workshop, and began discussing it together.
“Selling it directly to the spirit meat shop would result in at least a 40% loss, but it is convenient for transactions.”
“That’s not going to work, Brother Chen.
There’s so much demonic beast meat, and those spider legs alone should sell for hundreds of lower-tier spirit stones.
A loss of 40% is not acceptable.”
“Indeed, we can’t sell to the spirit meat shop, but if we sell like this, I’m afraid it will take many days…
And setting up a stall to sell goods in the workshop also requires tax payment based on the goods, at least 20 lower-tier spirit stones in tax, right?”
“Even if we have to pay taxes, we’ll earn more than selling to the spirit meat shop.
Let’s sell slowly.
How about this, Brother Chen, leave this to me.
I’ll find out the market price first, then sell it slowly.
You can go around and find a suitable place to rest.”
“Alright!”
Chen Dengming agreed straightforwardly.
Do not suspect a person you employ, once you use him, you trust him.
As a boss, he should know when to let go and let his subordinates do the work.
Moreover, he had already experienced Qiangzi’s ‘strong style algorithm’, and knew that letting him sell the demonic beast meat wouldn’t result in loss.
He immediately gave the storage bag containing the beast meat, along with the low-grade magic artifact he wanted to sell, to Jiang Qiang, and also passed him a human skin mask.
Jiang Qiang received it with a smile, “Brother Chen, you’re being this cautious?
This is Brocade Mill, not scary, nobody dares to play dirty here, the Lin Family’s rules protect our vendors.”
Chen Dengming clicked his tongue, “Put it on and go.
Always keep something in reserve, it’s for our own safety, better safe than sorry.”
“Alright, I’ll do as you say…”
