Chapter 119: Opening a Shop

~8 min read 1,423 words

The Demon Clan's market is mainly based on materials. Finished pills and magic tools are very rare.

After wandering for a day or two, Zhang Xingyu had a clear understanding of the Demon Clan's market situation.

Here, all kinds of Demon Clan materials are dazzling, and the prices are ridiculously low.

Here, the human race's gorgeous clothing, spirit pills, and magic tools are very popular among the Demon Clan, and the prices are ridiculously high.

If one could resell the things here to the human world, and then transport the human race's things here to sell, wouldn't that be a huge profit?

From ancient times to the present, the profits of the circulation industry have been far higher than those of the production industry.

Unfortunately, he is not the only smart person.

According to the Demon Clan merchants, a human business alliance called Taichang is doing this cross-race resale business.

Every half a year, the Taichang Business Alliance will send ships to purchase various demonic beast materials, while bringing various luxury goods produced by the human race.

Hearing this news, Zhang Xingyu was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

Having human ships come means he can hitch a ride back to the human world.

However, according to the Demon Clan merchants, it was very unfortunate that the Taichang ship had just come a month ago.

To wait for them to come again, one needs to wait for five months.

Five months, he can't just wait idly on the island.

Thus, Zhang Xingyu decided to open a shop on the island.

While killing time, he could also hunt for some good things.

When he returns to the human world, he can also make a good profit.

Fortunately, there are many shops on the island, and Zhang Xingyu spent half a day finding a suitable shop with Wutuo.

This shop had a storefront in the front and a courtyard in the back for people to live in.

The rent for the shop was not high, one hundred third-grade demon coins per month.

Zhang Xingyu paid the rent for half a year in one go and got the key to this shop.

Hanging a sign with a crab leg drawn on the door, and hiring Wutuo as the only shop assistant, Zhang Xingyu's business opened.

As for why he drew a crab leg, it's because the crab leg is the Demon Clan's writing.

According to Wutuo, this crab leg represents the meaning of materials.

Zhang Xingyu, who didn't know a single word of Demon script, praised Wutuo heavily, directly praising its fish tail to the sky.

"Kid, you have culture, work hard, you have a future," Zhang Xingyu said to Wutuo.

Thus, Wutuo, who was full of beautiful imagination about the future, began to work with full energy.

On the first day, Wutuo collected a few skins shed by sea snake demons and happily went to Zhang Xingyu to claim credit.

On the second day, Wutuo collected a few crab legs and a few clam shells, spending five third-grade demon coins.

On the third day...

And Zhang Xingyu, after staying in the shop for a few days, became a hands-off boss.

He wandered outside during the day and ate barbecue and cultivated at night.

Days passed by like this.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

After eating the body of that shrimp-headed great demon, Zhang Xingyu had already cultivated to the ninth layer of Qi Refining.

It's strange to say, but ever since he drank the Three Light Divine Water, a faint golden color appeared in his blood.

In addition, after he cultivated at night, the Spiritual Aura he cultivated could also be stored in his meridians and dantian, not disappearing strangely like in the past.

This morning, Zhang Xingyu gave Wutuo a few instructions and walked out of the shop door leisurely.

After wandering for half a street, Zhang Xingyu wanted to go back, but heard a dispute at the entrance of a shop.

A fish demon was carrying a bag woven from seaweed, shouting loudly at the shopkeeper.

"Boss, didn't you claim to purchase all kinds of materials? These red stones were obtained by me with great effort, why don't you buy them?" the fish demon shouted.

The boss looked at it with disdain and said loudly: "Do you think I'm stupid? These things are useless to our Demon Clan; everyone knows they are trash, and you have the nerve to pick them up to sell."

The fish demon was speechless.

It depressedly carried the bag and walked toward another shop.

After a while, it was thrown out by another shopkeeper, both person and bag.

The bag fell to the ground, and red stones scattered all over the floor.

Zhang Xingyu's eyes lit up.

These red stones faintly emitted fire Spiritual Aura.

"Brother, what price do you intend to sell these things for?" Zhang Xingyu asked the fish demon.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu's inquiry, the fish demon immediately turned from grief to joy.

"Five third-grade demon coins, no, one, I'll sell them all to you for one."

Zhang Xingyu nodded: "I am very interested in all kinds of strange materials and just want to buy some to study. How many such red stones do you have?"

"As many as you want, I have. I discovered a place where red stones are piled up like a mountain. If you want, I can sell them to you at a low price," the fish demon said.

"Alright. Take me there to see. If it's really as you said, I will definitely not treat you badly," Zhang Xingyu nodded and said.

After going back and giving Wutuo a few instructions, Zhang Xingyu followed the fish demon out of Gold and Silver Island.

After swimming three hundred miles to the east, the fish demon led Zhang Xingyu into the seabed.

Ahead on the seabed, a deep trench was bottomless.

"Follow me," the fish demon said to Zhang Xingyu.

The fish demon led Zhang Xingyu to continue diving downward.

After diving another thousand meters, rich fire Spiritual Aura rushed toward them.

Below them, red stones were piled up like a mountain.

Roughly estimated, it was at least a thousand meters long, five or six hundred meters wide, and one hundred eighty meters deep.

The fish demon turned back and said to Zhang Xingyu: "This is it. I came here by accident and discovered this treasure land."

Zhang Xingyu rolled his eyes at it: "What treasure land, it's just a garbage dump."

The fish demon smiled and said softly: "Boss, with so many red stones, it's enough for you to study, right?"

Zhang Xingyu nodded and extended a finger.

To be precise, it was a worm leg.

"One hundred third-grade demon coins? Boss, this is too little. Add some more. It wasn't easy for me to find this place," the fish demon said.

Zhang Xingyu shook his head.

The fish demon was suddenly anxious: "No way. Boss, you aren't even willing to pay one hundred third-grade demon coins? A demon can't be too stingy!"

"One thousand third-grade demon coins. Everything here belongs to me. You are not allowed to take another piece, nor are you allowed to tell anyone else," Zhang Xingyu said.

"Deal."

The fish demon agreed hurriedly, fearing Zhang Xingyu would go back on his word.

The fish demon thought to himself, this worm demon is a good demon, willing to pay so much for this trash.

Zhang Xingyu nodded and threw ten second-grade demon coins to the fish demon.

The fish demon got the demon coins and was grinning from ear to ear.

"Boss, I wish you success in your research, good luck, and great wealth," the fish demon congratulated him with a smile.

Turning on his Heavenly Eye, he watched the fish demon leave far away.

Getting rich, getting rich.

Looking around, they were all red fire spirit stones.

It seems he had come to a natural fire spirit stone mine.

And it was an open-pit mine, which could be loaded directly into the storage bag.

Zhang Xingyu thought about how to deal with these fire spirit stones.

It was obviously impossible to take away so many fire spirit stones.

This place is deep in the seabed, rarely visited by demons, and with rich fire Spiritual Aura, it is a good place for cultivation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingyu took out the magic disk from his storage ring and set up a Spirit Gathering Array on the small mountain. ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
