Chapter 596: Terrifying Profits from Selling Puppets

However, he had been at Xiao Dan Tower for over two months, yet he still couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

After all, he couldn't just tell everyone he knew the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan, or, upon meeting others, hang a Space Jade Tablet outside for them to see.

But the elder just now asked him whether he would be willing to bring out that Heaven Demon Puppet for exchange.

It sparked an idea, giving him a flash of inspiration for a perfect opportunity.

"Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so veteran strongmen nearby could not contain their emotions and shouted in surprise.

The Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan is a dominant presence among the demonic beasts.

Not to mention them; even the Grand Elder of Xiao Dan Tower must treat them with caution.

"Indeed, the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan possesses an extremely strong spatial talent; over the years of inheritance, they have encountered many ancient relics in the void. Consequently, the puppets that appear frequently in those ancient relics have also received a great deal."

"Because my friend has royal blood of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan, his status is fairly high. That's why I could obtain these puppets from within the dragon clan."

Lin Feng said half‑truthfully.

"Sss~"

Upon hearing about the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan's royal bloodline, the dozen or so Xiao Dan Tower strongmen inhaled sharply, a cold breath.

After a stunned pause, the first white‑haired elder who spoke exhaled and exclaimed, "No wonder you possess such exotic puppets; it turns out you are acquainted with people from that ancient race."

Regarding the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan's many puppets, they had no further doubts.

After all, the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan's seemingly god‑defying spatial talent truly exists.

Moreover, each of those ancient races has inherited traditions spanning thousands, even tens of thousands of years.

Who can know how many relics the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan has uncovered in the near‑boundless void depths left by their predecessors.

"Those two Dou Zun puppets, I shall take them."

After a brief silence, the voice of the elder who first asked spoke again.

Having said that, the former intended to take two Eighth Grade Seven‑Color Pills from his storage ring.

"Hey, you scoundrel, that's not fair; there are only two golden puppets in total, and you want to take them all yourself."

When he heard the former wanted to buy all the Heaven Demon Puppets in one go, another person immediately leapt forward to block him.

The others, upon hearing this, snapped back to attention and angrily rebuked the former for hogging everything.

After all, they were also very curious about these puppets that can absorb pill thunder for growth.

"Aren't there silver ones as well? You can choose those. Moreover, from this kid's tone, the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan must have plenty of puppets. Let him speak, and he'll bring some over for you; after all, the clan is powerful but surely also interested in these high‑grade pills."

The elder, hearing those old bastards speak so boldly, instantly started retorting with them.

"Hey, the silver ones are only Dou Zong level, nothing compared to the golden Dou Zun puppets. Besides, we don't know how long the next batch will take; why don't you let us trade away the golden puppets and wait for the next batch yourself!"

Those elders, unwilling to be outdone, immediately countered the former.

"Since I spoke first, I should go first. Moreover, I am from the Grand Elder Hall; a little privilege shouldn't be denied!"

"."

In an instant, the previously calm group erupted into a volley of retorts.

One by one, embarrassing incidents sprang from their mouths as they began to expose each other's past.

"Kid, to what extent can your silver puppet evolve?"

At this moment, several elders stepped forward and asked Lin Feng.

They are merely Eighth Grade Seven‑Color Alchemists, and they also bear their families' burdens.

Therefore, they are not particularly wealthy.

But regarding these puppets that can absorb thunder power to evolve, they are extremely curious and consider swapping for a cheaper silver puppet to try out.

"I once tested such a puppet in a thunder pool near the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan's territory; at this level, if it absorbs enough thunder power, its peak lies roughly between seven‑star and eight‑star Dou Zun."

Lin Feng casually gave a reason and replied.

He then explained further: "Moreover, even if these puppets are damaged in battle, as long as their core isn't destroyed or parts aren't missing, once they absorb enough thunder power they can fully recover."

After all, in the original work, Xiao Yan used a Dou Zong‑level Earth Demon Giant body plus a mediocre seventh‑grade Demonic Core.

The Earth Demon Puppets he forged ultimately could evolve to the five‑star Dou Zun level.

The three Earth Demon Puppets he has use materials that are top‑tier within the Dou Zong rank.

Moreover, the metal he employed when forging the Earth Demon Puppets...

Compared to the metal Xiao Yan used to forge the Earth Demon Giant, this is also unknown how much stronger.

Saying they can evolve to seven‑star Dou Zun is already a conservative estimate.

"Indeed, a puppet that can reach seven‑star to eight‑star Dou Zun combat power is sufficient for the clan's outstanding juniors to use for self‑defense. It also recovers quickly, can be used repeatedly, and has no lifespan limit. Should the clan's strength wane in the future, it can serve as a life‑saving trump card."

The elders, after hearing this, nodded with some delight.

They could also guess that the puppet's evolution would inevitably reach a pinnacle.

And that pinnacle already far exceeds their expectations.

A puppet that can exist for thousands of years and evolve, in exchange for just three five‑color Eighth Grade Pills.

They thought Lin Feng was still very generous.

After all, hiring an eight‑star Dou Zun‑level strongman for a highly dangerous task costs roughly one five‑color pill.

But once you purchase the puppet, as long as it remains intact, it will silently perform any dangerous task for you indefinitely.

Of course, they did not know these Earth Demon Puppets were forged by Lin Feng himself.

And the cost consumed by such an Earth Demon Puppet...

Even a single Eighth Grade Two‑Color Pill could fetch dozens of them.

This profit is downright more terrifying than the pills themselves.

"Can you pull some strings later? We'd like to trade for more puppets, if that's possible. As for the price, we'll stick to this arrangement."

Those elders exchanged glances, and then one of them asked.

Hearing that, Lin Feng pretended to pause for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem, I'll go talk to her later; I should be able to persuade them. After all, although the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan is strong, their need for pills is still quite great. Though Demon Beasts can also directly eat medicinal herbs, the effect is certainly not comparable to pills."
