Chapter 51: Chapter Fifty: Is the Master surnamed Meng?
Meng Su watched the Demon Hunter quietly from afar, only to see the Demon Hunter set up various demon beasts on the ground, among which was the Escape Rat that Meng Su wanted.
Meng Su walked quickly to the Demon Hunter and was about to ask, when he suddenly felt an extra person beside him. Turning his head to look, he saw Gongzi Jiao standing beside Meng Su with a playful look: "What? You've taken a fancy to something? You can name your price; maybe you can exchange for it."
Looking at Gongzi Jiao's face that was begging for a beating, Meng Su had a flash of inspiration. Meng Su pointed at a demon wolf and asked: "May I ask how to exchange for this demon wolf?"
"Young Master has a good eye. This demon wolf has already condensed a Demon Core. This Demon Core might not have much effect on Demon Cultivators, but in the secular world, it is a great tonic for martial artists. It can directly transform a martial artist into a Qi-condensing cultivator without the need for planting demons. Ten Gathering Spirit Pills."
Meng Su was about to speak, when Gongzi Jiao shouted: "Twenty."
Meng Su was furious: "Thirty."
Gongzi Jiao: "Forty."
Meng Su: "Fifty."
Gongzi Jiao: "One hundred."
Meng Su cursed in his heart: "Idiot." Then he looked at Gongzi Jiao: "Congratulations, Brother Daoist, on acquiring a demon wolf."
Gongzi Jiao: "You... why didn't you raise the price?"
Meng Su: "I have no pills. Young Master is as rich as a country. Congratulations."
That Demon Hunter handed the demon wolf to Gongzi Jiao with a smile. Gongzi Jiao reluctantly exchanged for the demon wolf and put it away.
Meng Su looked at a small golden rhinoceros again: "May I ask how to exchange for this golden rhinoceros?"
"Fifty Gathering Spirit Pills. This golden rhinoceros is complete with all its parts, and combined with other auxiliary materials, it is an excellent medicine guide for body refining. Sir has a very good eye."
Meng Su glanced at Gongzi Jiao.
Gongzi Jiao was afraid of being tricked and did not bid. Meng Su had no Gathering Spirit Pills on him. These Gathering Spirit Pills were common pills in the Demon Realm, whether it was Demon Power exhaustion or healing, they were all Gathering Spirit Pills. Meng Su took out a True Demon Pill from his body and handed it to the Demon Hunter: "May I ask Brother Daoist, how many Gathering Spirit Pills can this pill be exchanged for?"
The Demon Hunter took the True Demon Pill suspiciously and looked at it carefully, when suddenly his hand began to tremble: "May I ask Brother Daoist how many more of this type of pill you have? If I am not mistaken, this should be a True Demon Pill. And it is absolutely a top-grade True Demon Pill. Just one pill can transform a Void Demon into a True Demon."
"Not many, but I still have dozens."
"The existing quantity of this pill is extremely small. If this pill can be scaled up and become a must-have pill for all Demon Sects, then all millions of Void Demons in the Demon Realm will be transformed into True Demons, and the strength of the Demon Realm will be more than ten times stronger. Now, one pill is invaluable. If exchanged according to Gathering Spirit Pills, it should be over ten thousand."
Gongzi Jiao: "Brother Daoist, don't be mistaken. As far as I know, this wretch is not even an alchemist, just a pill slave. How could he have such a heaven-defying pill?"
Demon Hunter: "Absolutely not mistaken. My senior brother once took this True Demon Pill, and it took a year after taking it for him to transform from a Void Demon into a True Demon. And the quality of this pill is absolutely higher than the one my senior brother took. Absolutely not mistaken."
Meng Su: "Can this pill of mine be exchanged for the demon beasts you have left?"
Demon Hunter: "That wouldn't be good, would it? What I have left is not worth that many Gathering Spirit Pills. How about this, Brother Daoist, whatever demon beasts you take a fancy to, I will mobilize the whole sect to hunt for you in the future, and we will trade directly with True Demon Pills, how about that?"
Meng Su: "Deal. I need a large number of Escape Rats. If Brother Daoist can help me hunt for Escape Rats, I will trade with True Demon Pills for everything in the future."
Gongzi Jiao had been tricked by Meng Su and wanted to get back at him immediately, so he said urgently: "Brother Daoist, do not believe this wretch. He really is just a pill slave of our Pill Demon Sect. He must have picked up this one True Demon Pill from somewhere. I guarantee he has no other True Demon Pills in his hands."
The Demon Hunter looked at Meng Su suspiciously.
Meng Su smiled: "If I can take out other True Demon Pills, what will you do?"
Gongzi Jiao had been cornered by Meng Su again, but he was unwilling to be suppressed by Meng Su. He shouted: "If you can take out more than one True Demon Pill, I will pay for all the demon beasts for you. If you don't have any, you will have to kneel and bow to me every time you see me in the future, and help me polish my shoes."
Meng Su: "Screw you."
Seeing Meng Su's troubled look, Gongzi Jiao became even more convinced of his judgment: "How about it, little wretch, dare you bet?"
Meng Su sighed. He said to the Demon Hunter: "How many Gathering Spirit Pills are the remaining demon beasts worth?"
The Demon Hunter clearly saw the conflict between Meng Su and Gongzi Jiao and did not want to offend an alchemist. So he made a rough estimate and said: "Three hundred Gathering Spirit Pills. You can take all the demon beasts away."
Meng Su looked at Gongzi Jiao with a smile: "What are you stunned for? Hurry up and pay."
Gongzi Jiao: "What are you acting tough for? You haven't shown the True Demon Pill yet."
Meng Su threw the True Demon Pill in his hand to the Demon Hunter: "This is the deposit for you to buy Escape Rats next time. This Young Master will pay for this batch of goods."
After speaking, Meng Su flicked his hand, and ten True Demon Pills appeared in his hand. The True Demon Pills were crystal clear and emitted bursts of smoke, which stunned the two of them instantly.
Gongzi Jiao was shocked by Meng Su's extravagance.
"I don't believe it, this must be a fake pill. I'm going to the Demon Capital to report you. Profiteering with fake pills."
The Demon Hunter took the True Demon Pill from Meng Su's hand tremblingly and looked at it himself.
"That's right, top-grade True Demon Pill, just one pill can definitely transform a Void Demon into a True Demon. As long as Sir is willing to prioritize supplying our sect with this True Demon Pill, we will mobilize the whole sect to hunt for Escape Rats for you. And you will always be an honored guest of our sect. I will apply to the Sect Master to appoint Sir as a guest elder of our sect. With hundreds of thousands of cultivators in our sect, your status will be second only to elders and Demon Sons. What do you think?"
"Deal. What are you still stunned for? You, a dignified Young Master, wouldn't be untrustworthy, would you? Hurry up and pay."
Gongzi Jiao took out three hundred Gathering Spirit Pills in a fit of depression and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Meng Su laughed loudly.
In a great mood, Meng Su put away the demon beasts and returned to the inn.
Two days later, Meng Su and Dongfang Mao came to the Nine Cauldrons Pavilion. The auction site was on the ground floor of the Nine Cauldrons Pavilion, and this first floor covered a huge area. It was the size of a football field. In the middle was a custom-made solid wood display stand and auction stage. The auction stage was thirty or forty *zhang* square. Surrounding the auction stage was a circle of chairs that gradually raised, and behind the chairs was a circle of private rooms, which should be reserved for important customers.
Meng Su and Dongfang Mao found a seat on the side and sat down, waiting for the start of the auction. Meng Su's goal was still the Escape Rat, but he didn't know if such a low-level item would appear on the auction stage.
Just as Meng Su and the other were watching from the seats below, thousands of people entered the auction hall one after another, and for a while, they were calling friends and companions, which was extremely lively. Infected by the lively atmosphere, the two also looked around with excitement. Suddenly, two beautiful women walked to the front of the auction stage.
Just when Meng Su thought the auction was about to begin, the two women walked gracefully towards Meng Su and Dongfang Mao. The two looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
The leading woman was about twenty years old, tall, with a plump figure and a three-dimensional face, looking like a person from a foreign land. She had a professional smile on her face.
The woman bowed to Meng Su: "Master Meng, my master invites you."
"Master? You must have recognized the wrong person. I am just a seed alchemist, not even an alchemist."
"Is the Master surnamed Meng?"
"Yes, but there are many people surnamed Meng? I'm just here to watch the fun."
"Then that's correct, Sir, please follow me."
Meng Su hesitated: "I want to bring my master." After speaking, Meng Su pointed to Dongfang Mao.
Dongfang Mao: "Stop messing around, Brother Meng, how could I be your master."
Woman: "That's fine, the two of you, please follow me."
Led by the woman, Meng Su and Dongfang Mao came to a private room above. Meng Su looked up and saw that it was written on the private room: VIP Room No. 1.
Inside the private room, there were sofa chairs, a tea table, and dedicated maids.
Meng Su was confused and sat in the private room with trepidation. ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
