Chapter 169: God of Wealth

Can buy on credit!

Hu Jiushisan looked at the paper Wang Ping'an raised again, saw the words on it clearly, and couldn't help but wryly laugh.

Besides, the Paper Daoist is indeed a first-rate swindler, even allowing such a thing as buying on credit.

But, if buying on credit were really possible……

Hu Jiushisan seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up immediately, and he eagerly said:

"Fellow cultivator, if buying on credit is possible, I can price these three monster corpses at one thousand low-grade spirit stones each, and when you come to the market next time, I will give you three thousand low-grade spirit stones—what do you think?"

By doing this, it would offer a price of three thousand low-grade spirit stones—not only to curry favor with Wang Ping'an, but also hoping he would come to their market again next time, making it convenient for it to purchase Wang Ping'an's talismans again.

More accurately speaking.

Still, there's profit to be made from these three monster corpses!

To speak without exaggeration, monsters, especially those who have achieved cultivation, can be said to be treasures from head to toe.

Three thousand low-grade spirit stones—if these three monster corpses are all sold, it can not only break even but also make a profit, though the profit is hard-earned money.

Three thousand low-grade spirit stones?

Wang Ping'an was also startled.

He would consider selling the three monster corpses to Hu Jiushisan; it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, not intending to swindle Hu Jiushisan or extort money from him, but because he knows monster corpses are very valuable.

But.

No one would have expected Hu Jiushisan to offer a price of three thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Seeing Wang Ping'an had no reaction for half a day, Hu Jiushisan thought Wang Ping'an found the amount too little, his face fell, and he said:

"Fellow cultivator, you also know that our market here is a monster market, with the most traffic being monsters; if I sold corpses of my own kind, I would definitely attract attention, possibly even be dealt with."

I'm giving you three thousand low-grade spirit stones; in fact I won't earn even a single low-grade spirit stone—it's completely a wasted effort, but doing work for you, fellow cultivator, I'm willing even if it's for nothing.

I can't raise the price any higher; please forgive me, fellow cultivator!

Wang Ping'an gave no response, put away his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, then rose and walked toward the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray, his true self still waiting at home for his return.

He needed to plant the spirit fruit saplings he had bought in bulk inside the World Pearl, and also study the other four of the Five Elements Escape Techniques, to see if he could earn attribute and attribute resistance rewards.

Moreover.

Given Hu Jiushisan's intelligence, even if he left no words, looking at these three corpses on the ground, he should know what he meant.

As for what Hu Jiushisan said—working for nothing, not making money—he doesn't even believe a punctuation mark.

Monsters rarely eat their own kind, but monster races are myriad; they will not pass up eating the corpses of other monster races.

Who let the flesh and blood of monsters contain boundless energy, stronger than the effect of spirit pills and marvelous medicines?

No one knows how many monsters become great monsters by feeding on other monsters' flesh and blood, step by step.

"Fellow cultivator, fellow cultivator, remember to come to the market early—I still owe you three thousand low-grade spirit stones; this monster hates owing others, so you must come early so I can repay you the low-grade spirit stones I owe."

Hu Jiushisan watched Wang Ping'an stand on the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray's back, saw the falcon's departing figure, shouted a sentence, but before he finished speaking, he saw Wang Ping'an's figure vanish from its sight.

The next moment.

Hu Jiushisan hurriedly ran to the three monster corpses, looked left and right, as if he had seen some rare treasure, and hehe-laughed, saying:

"The Paper Daoist is truly my god of wealth; besides talismans, he can also help me make money from monster corpses!"

Having said that, Hu Jiushisan paused, glanced again at the three monster corpses, then lifted his gaze toward the direction where Wang Ping'an had disappeared, and whispered: "Zhu wu, do you think we should spread the word more about the Paper Daoist having money?"

"That wouldn't be good; our market is full of all sorts of things, and you know that. Promoting like that would easily provoke other monsters' killing intent toward the Paper Daoist!"

Zhu wu worried.

"The note the Paper Daoist just left—haven't you noticed anything yet?"

"The Paper Daoist has a penchant for slaughter; by promoting him, we lure out malicious monsters so he can vent his fury!"

Hu Jiushisan's expression turned serious, and he eagerly said: "While the Paper Daoist vents, he can also earn extra money from monster corpses; if he knew, he'd surely be satisfied with our idea!"

Zhu wu didn't want to continue this topic.

If we really did this, and it managed to get closer to Wang Ping'an, only Hu Jiushisan would benefit, not it.

But if it caused trouble and made Wang Ping'an dissatisfied,

given its understanding of Hu Jiushisan, it would surely throw it out to take the blame.

Doing a thankless, arduous task—it's not stupid, how could it possibly do that?

Zhu wu changed his tone: "Brother Hu, these three monster corpses must be hard for you to handle; let me help you……"

"No need, I know how to handle them!"

Hu Jiushisan interrupted.

Zhu wu said: "Brother Hu, rest assured, I won't short you even a single low-grade spirit stone that I owe you!"

"Then tell me, what price can you offer?"

Wang Family.

Wang Ping'an, while controlling the Paper Person, fell from midair, and at the same time drove the Peregrine Falcon Little Gray away, letting it go look for opportunities to do good deeds.

After shrinking, the Paper Person, hard to notice, jumped into his cradle, was quickly stored in his storage bag; Wang Ping'an's thought moved, his consciousness appeared in the World Pearl, holding a storage bag in his hand.

This is the storage bag carried by the Paper Person!

Wang Ping'an's thought moved, a jade slip appeared in his palm, which he casually stuck on his forehead.

"Ding! After carefully studying the cultivation method of the Five Elements Escape Technique—Metal Escape Technique, congratulations on earning the reward: skill: Metal Escape Technique 【Entry Level】, Metal Attribute +1, Metal Resistance +1!"

As the jade slip shattered, Wang Ping'an took another jade slip from his storage bag and stuck it on his forehead.

"Ding! After carefully studying the cultivation method of the Five Elements Escape Technique—Wood Escape Technique, congratulations on earning the reward: skill: Wood Escape Technique 【Entry Level】, Wood Attribute +1, Wood Resistance +1!"

……

Not long after.

After Wang Ping'an used the other two jade slips one after another, he simultaneously obtained the skills Water Escape Technique and Fire Escape Technique, as well as water attribute and water resistance, fire attribute and fire resistance.

After that.

Wang Ping'an eagerly took out all the spirit fruit saplings from his storage bag and planted them in the World Pearl. Because the World Pearl had been devouring low-grade spirit stones, it experienced massive growth; he planted all sixty-eight spirit fruit saplings, yet they still did not fill one-third of the World Pearl.

Wang Ping'an then planted a batch of rice in the remaining open space—no, wait, it should be called spirit rice.

He then sat down on the ground, heart full and satisfied, to rest!
