Forced Buying and Selling!
The First Position Is Already Past (Ask for Subscription of Monthly Tickets)_3 One of them inadvertently caught a glimpse of half of Chen Dengming’s face under his bamboo hat, his eyes widened, nearly shouting out in surprise right then and there, but ultimately managing a dry chuckle instead.
“Buy, of course we’d love to buy.
Usually, we want to buy Demonic Beast meat, but it’s not easy to find.
...
We’ll each buy a beast.”
The other two cultivators were dumbfounded at the situation, but seeing their usually fierce boss being so courteous, they immediately realized there must be more at stake.
They both generously agreed to buy with smiles on their faces.
Chen Dengming took a deep look at the man who had spoken, lightly laughing, “I can see at a glance who in the crowd is smart and who’s a fool.
Now that we’re in Brocade Mill, consider our past interactions all cut off.
After buying my meat, make sure you don’t spread rumors.”
“Where….where would we dare?”
“Over at Jingxiu Workshop, we’re starting over and laying low.
We hope for your kind consideration, Fellow Cultivator.”
“The Spirit Meat Shop in the Jingxiu Workshop sells this kind of low-level Demonic Beast meat for one Spirit Stone per fifty catty.
I’ll give you a discount, a flat price of four low-grade Spirit Stones per beast.”
“No, no, no.
A flat price of five low-grade Spirit Stones per beast.
There’s no way we brothers can let our lifesaver be at a loss.”
Chen Dengming was left speechless, he never encountered someone bargaining this way.
However, he was more than happy to have some extra Spirit Stones.
After collecting the Spirit Stones, he picked up a crafting knife and expertly dissected the body of a hyena-like Demonic Beast, quickly wrapping up and leaving the scene.
The cultivators stared at the Demonic Hyena Beast meat, nearly weeping.
The Spirit Stones had been spent, now they would have to carry it to Brocade Mill, and even sell part of it.
How could they eat it all?
“Boss, you just…”
“Shut up!
Are you blind, not recognizing who this was?
It was Chen Chief!”
“Ah!
Was it actually Chen Chief?”
“Clearly, Chen Chief recognized us, just now, he was deliberately probing us.
If we indicated our willingness to buy the meat without causing trouble, it would be fine.
But if we showed any defiance, can you imagine what would happen to us in the wild?”
“Hisss!
No way – it actually was Chen Chief.
But Chen Chief was too distant, we all fled from Gold Word Workshop, we’re not willing to risk our lives for Xu Ning any longer.”
“Do you think Chen Chief is an idiot?
He clearly saw that we fled.
Otherwise, why would we appear in such a hurry during a time of conflict between the two sides?”
“Chen Chief is indeed Chen Chief, able to survive wherever he goes.
When we’re new in town, should we!”
“Stop thinking so much.
If we encounter Chen Chief in the future, absolutely do not call him Chief.
He clearly doesn’t want to get mixed up in the old hatred anymore, so we should behave.”
!
“Brother Chen, you’ve hunted another Demonic Beast?
Impressive!”
“It’s just a pitiful little dog, Fellow Daoist Liu.
Just call me Chen!
‘Fellow Cultivator’ sounds just a bit too formal and distant.”
“I wouldn’t dare!
I wouldn’t dare!”
!
Carrying the Demonic Hyena Beast meat, Chen Dengming returned to the spirit vegetable market near the inn.
He gave the hyena to a butcher who was a Qi Cultivation Second Level cultivator to process.
Some parts, like the inedible organs and dog’s testicles, would be given to him as compensation for his work.
Returning to the rented room at the inn, he took the Array Plate from his waist.
The mini Array Spirit, feeling oppressed, could hardly wait to fly out, dancing in the room humming a tune, it’s mood joyous.
This also delighted Chen Dengming as he could feast his eyes on it.
As Chen Dengming was washing his hands, there was a knock on the door.
The mini Array Spirit quickly hid.
Jiang Qiang came in from the outside, carrying the processed hyena, looking a bit distressed.
“Brother Chen, Tugou just told me that the price of Spirit Rice in the Spirit Rice Shop has risen again.
I heard that a major conflict has erupted in the gathering place.
Now many cultivators are fleeing here, not only has the price of Spirit Rice gone up, even Magic Artifacts and Talisman are getting more expensive.
I think it’s possible that even the cost of inn rooms might rise.
Isn’t this what you call ‘internal competition’ in your regional dialect?”
Chen Dengming was taken aback, “A major conflict has erupted?”
“Yes, the news will probably be out in a few days.” Jiang Qiang shook his head.
Chen Dengming frowned, feeling troubled, pacing around the room, “Qiangzi, it looks like there’s something we need to do immediately.”
Jiang Qiang perked up, “Bro, what is it?”
Every time Chen Dengming mentioned a job, he knew there was a profit-making opportunity coming his way.
Unfortunately killing Demonic Beasts wasn’t his forte.
Recently, he has been solely making money by crafting Array Plates, which aren’t selling very well; he’s nearly bored out of his mind.
Teaming up with Chen Dengming earned him many Spirit Stones.
Last time when selling Demonic Beast Spirit Stones, Chen Dengming directly gave him fifty low-grade Spirit Stones.
This was extravagance in his eyes, because basically, it was Chen Dengming who single-handedly killed the Green Backed Water Spider, he merely provided some assistance at most.
“I’m going to give you a batch of Gu Objects first, you can try to sell them in the city.
Remember, be careful.”
!
“This is so annoying!”
After expelling Jiang Qiang with a batch of Gu Objects, Chen Dengming was left with a bit of a headache.
With price inflation, his living costs would also increase, resulting in even fewer Spirit Stones available for cultivation.
Although killing Demonic Beasts recently did help offset some of the living costs, it was basically like a drop in a bucket.
And in a few days, the Dark Market would open.
By then, it would cost even more Spirit Stones to buy a desirable defensive Magic Artifact from the Dark Market.
“It seems it’s about time to go find that old tiger.”

In the previous period, in his spare time from cultivating, Chen Dengming would often wander around the city, familiarizing himself with various prices and environment, and secretly observe the movements of the Business League’s Gu Object market.
He had even seen the familiar figure of Boss Hu with his pipe from a distance several times.
By now, he was almost sure that Boss Hu’s stock of pirated Gu Objects should be running low.
The number of Gu Object stalls in the city had noticeably decreased lately, as if Boss Hu was prepared to shift the focus of his business.
This indicated that he probably had cut ties with Xu Ning.
Otherwise, with Xu Ning’s stock from the second batch of Gu Refining Place, he should set his sights on that if interested.
However, now that there was widespread chaos in the gathering spot, the chances of communication between both parties seemed even fewer.
But nothing is absolute.
The reason Chen Dengming decided to cooperate with Boss Hu was that he was about to break through to the Qi Cultivation Fifth Level, and right now, Boss Hu was the only suitable target in Brocade Mill.
If business with the Boss failed, he still had the confidence to retreat unscathed!
