Chapter 39: Trading at the Yaoshi, the Secret Behind the Extravagant Spending

~8 min read 1,421 words

Under the guidance of the small Demon Beast.

The Pterosaur took Zhang Yi and the others, and it took less than half an hour to reach the Yaoshi mentioned by the other party earlier.

Looking around, this so-called Yaoshi was actually just a relatively flat piece of open ground between several hills.

"The Yaoshi is right ahead!"

The small Demon Beast pointed with its hand and spoke with great enthusiasm.

"We arrived so quickly!"

"Since we're here, let's go take a look!"

"I want to see what difference there is between this Yaoshi and the markets in the human world."

Zhang Yi calculated in his heart, then immediately led Nudi, Ju Niao Mu Qin, and the others, following behind the small Demon Beast straight toward the "Yaoshi."

This so-called Yaoshi was set up very casually.

Those setting up stalls and trading here were all Great Demons from this forest.

Looking around, the scale of this Yaoshi was actually not large; it was not even as big as the vegetable markets Zhang Yi had seen in his past life.

At this moment, on the open ground, dozens of Great Demons who had come to set up stalls were squatting in front of their respective stalls, bored.

They did not shout or hawk their wares; only when other Great Demons or Demon Beasts were interested in their "goods" would they occasionally speak a word or two to introduce them.

After Zhang Yi and the others arrived at this Yaoshi where the Great Demons gathered.

He soon joined the army of treasure hunters, searching all around to see if there were any treasures that caught his eye.

At this moment, Nudi, after observing for a while, could not help but frown deeply.

"Little one, do you have any goods from the human world for sale in this place of yours?"

"This..."

The small Demon Beast thought for a moment, then, as if thinking of something, suddenly slapped its own little head.

"I remember now!"

"Not far ahead, there is a stall that specializes in selling human goods."

"It's just that, because most of the trading here is done by Great Demons, I don't know if this stall selling human goods is open today."

The small Demon Beast looked at Nudi with some difficulty.

Just as the other party was cautiously explaining to Nudi, Zhang Yi happened to run back.

When he learned that Nudi wanted to find goods from the human world, a look of confusion could not help but appear on his face.

"Why are you looking for goods from the human world? Could it be that you still can't let go of your status as the Xianchao Nudi?"

Regarding his confusion, Nudi directly retorted with a big eye-roll.

"Nonsense, if we don't find a stall from the human world, how can we carry out our plan!"

"I can refine pills, but without a Danyalu, what do you expect me to use to refine them!"

Once these words left her mouth, Zhang Yi suddenly realized.

"So that's it!"

"I didn't think of that!"

"Earlier, I was only focused on looking to see if there was anything delicious."

Zhang Yi scratched his head with an embarrassed look.

It was clear that the two birds had agreed to cooperate, but as soon as he arrived at this Yaoshi, he had actually thrown the matter to the back of his mind.

To cover his embarrassment, he immediately changed the subject and asked the small Demon Beast to lead him to the stall selling human items.

Under the guidance of the small Demon Beast, they soon arrived in front of the stall.

It had to be said that their luck was truly too good.

When they reached the stall, the vendor, who might not even open shop once every ten days or half a month, had actually opened today!

Moreover, Nudi saw at a glance a bronze Danyalu covered in dust placed in the corner of the stall.

Inside the Danyalu, there were currently some miscellaneous items like spirit fruits and spirit herbs piled up.

It was estimated that this guy didn't know what this lump of iron, which could neither be eaten nor used, was for.

So he simply used this thing as a container for spirit fruits and spirit herbs.

Although the quality of the Danyalu could not be considered top-tier, it was more than enough for refining some ordinary pills.

Seeing Zhang Yi and the others stop in front of the stall.

Looking at the Great Demon setting up the stall, Zhang Yi could determine just from the aura the other party emitted that this guy was at least a Third Rank Great Demon or even higher in cultivation.

This made it no wonder that even in a jungle where only demons existed, he could still manage to get his hands on things that only appeared in the human world.

It was estimated that these things were all snatched from human cultivators who came to the jungle to hunt.

This point was not hard to judge from the traces of blood that had already turned black on the bronze Danyalu.

At this time, the very perceptive small Demon Beast immediately understood the situation and took the initiative to step forward to communicate with the stall owner.

After some communication, the stall owner finally indicated that if the other party intended to buy his things, they could use meat from Demon Beasts of the Third Rank or higher, or Demon Cores, to exchange.

Upon learning this news, Nudi immediately stepped forward to start bargaining with the other party.

"This stall owner, how are you selling this thing?"

Nudi raised her claw and kicked the Danyalu in the corner.

"Three catties of Seventh Rank Demon Beast meat for the spirit fruits, ten catties of Seventh Rank Demon Beast meat for the spirit herbs, no bargaining!"

The Great Demon setting up the stall just glanced sideways at the Danyalu in the corner, then casually gave the price.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Nudi, who was on the side, acted uncharacteristically; not only was she not angry, but she very generously turned back to look at Zhang Yi.

"Why are you still standing there?"

"Take it out, won't you?"

Zhang Yi felt deeply puzzled by this move from Nudi, which didn't even involve any bargaining.

This spendthrift woman, why didn't she even try to haggle!

It was easy for her to be generous since it wasn't her own things being traded.

But her generosity meant he would have so much less delicious food to eat!

Seeing that Zhang Yi was still somewhat hesitant.

Nudi spoke up again: "Didn't you hear? Take the things out!"

Seeing the other party starting to urge him, Zhang Yi, no matter how reluctant he was, could only take out the Demon Beast meat he had secretly hidden away, intending to keep it for his own extra meals.

Bang!

Thirteen jin of Demon Beast meat was heavily slammed onto the ground by him.

Seeing these few fellows who had arrived produce the Demon Beast meat so readily.

Only at this moment did the Great Demon's previously indifferent attitude instantly undergo a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

"Distinguished guests!"

"You wait, I will find something to pack these up for you right now!"

In fact, the reason for the Great Demon's change in attitude was mainly due to the cultivation level of Zhang Yi and his group.

In his view, for demons like Zhang Yi and his group, where the strongest was only at the third rank of Great Demon, it was simply impossible for them to afford the items on his stall.

After all, a third or fourth-rank Great Demon might be able to reign supreme on the edge of the jungle, but they were simply not worth looking at once they reached the Core Zone of this jungle.

Moreover, as a Great Demon, he knew very well in his heart that compared to spirit fruits and spirit herbs, apart from those demons that were naturally vegetarian, basically no demon would look twice at them.

After all, in the perception of their Demon Beasts, eating meat was what a Great Demon should do.

Just as this Great Demon was preparing to find a piece of animal hide to pack up the spirit fruits and spirit herbs.

Nudi, who had previously appeared so lavish, suddenly spoke up at this moment!

The Nudi, who had previously appeared so lavish with her spending, suddenly spoke up at this moment!

"Wait..."
