Zhuang Cai said meaningfully, "If Fellow Daoist Chen still wants it, I can help keep an eye on new stock."

BANG!

The door was suddenly pushed open by a slender hand with red nails.

"Manager, you're finally back. Second Young Master Lu has been waiting for you for a long time."

A young woman in a special robe ran in, her clothes disheveled. Her face was still red and her head was covered in fragrant sweat. She leaned against the door and seemed to be weak in the knees.

"This exchange has just begun. Why is he here so early?"

Zhuang Cai frowned, "Go down first. I'll go see him immediately."

"Okay."

The young woman panted and walked away with the help of the wall.

Song Shi took a few more glances at the young woman. It was obvious that this Second Brother Lu was a kindred spirit that Song Shi could relate to.

"Relying on your status and using sorcery here. You really don't take my Thousand Treasures Store seriously!"

Zhuang Cai snorted and turned to look at Song Shi, "Fellow Daoist Chen, if you really want more demonic seeds, you can come with me to meet the second young master of the Lu family."

"He's from the Sky Demon Cult?"

Song Shi guessed that he was from the Sky Demon Cult as it seemed to be the only one in the Demon Cults that produced this thing.

"Hmm, he's quite well-respected in the Sky Demon Cult. He likes to bully others and often takes advantage of our Myriad Treasures store."

Zhuang Cai didn't seem to like this person very much, "That's why you should negotiate with him directly if you can. If you're a little tougher, you won't suffer too much. You can get it for very cheap. If I negotiate with him, He'll increase the price again. That price…"

"I know. It's a little less than what the middleman earns."

Song Shi nodded.

"If Fellow Daoist is willing, I'll pull some strings. Fellow Daoist Chen can just do me a favor when the time comes."

Zhuang Cai suggested.

"No problem. Let's leave it at that."

Song Shi had no objections. Since this person had said that the demonic seed was very expensive and he was not rich right now, he naturally had to negotiate.

If he could get the production method of the demon seed, he would be able to produce it himself infinitely. He would then be able to take advantage of the system to cultivate faster.

"Please!"

Zhuang Cai led the way to another VIP room. The door was wide open and cheerful laughter came from inside.

"Ahem."

Zhuang Cai coughed and alerted him of his presence.

"Fatty Zhuang, as a shopkeeper, aren't you supposed to be guarding the trading company every day? Why do you keep disappearing?"

The man's sharp voice sounded. "Come in. If you do this again, I'll f*ck you too."

Zhuang Cai's fats trembled, "Young Master Lu, you must be joking. I have to go to the headquarters to collect the goods. Otherwise, the inventory won't be enough for tonight's transaction. Moreover, I've found a buyer for the demon seed for Young Master. He can satisfy some of your needs."

As he spoke, Song Sho walked into the room. A man as thin as a bamboo pole was reclining on a recliner made of high-grade animal skin.

The three maids hurriedly put on their clothes and retreated, leaving behind a mess.

Song Shi glanced at this guy. Other than being thin, his hair was sparse and he had no eyebrows. While his face was long, his nose seemed a little small. His pupils were blue and his cheekbones were high. He looked rather strange. Most importantly, he had a vicious aura that made people instantly dislike him.

As for his cultivation, he was at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm like Zhuang Cai.

He went straight to the point, "I'm here to buy the Three Flower Demon Seed. How do you want to trade?"

"Yo, someone from the demonic path too? Why haven't I seen him before?"

Second Brother Lu touched his sparse hair and sized up Song Shi from the corner of his eye. His gaze landed on his belt. "I'll use this belt of yours to exchange for it."

"You can't afford this."

Song Shi said calmly. The blood river was already considered a Numinous artifact. He only needed to refine it again when his cultivation level was high enough to produce a Numinous artifact.

If Dharma artifacts were suitable for Qi Refinement Connate and Extraordinary Foundation Establishment, Golden Core and even Nascent Soul cultivators,

then in that case, Numinous artifacts were definitely the weapons for even high-level cultivators. Some Nascent Souls might not even have one. The reason why the Blood-Robed old ghost could create quasi-numinous artifacts was also because of the Blood Refinement Sect's inheritance he was given back then.

"You sure talk big. It's just a belt. Why can't I afford it?"

Second Brother Lu stood up. His white clothes seemed to come alive as he put them on automatically. He stared at Song Shi with a sinister smile. "I think highly of you and lack a good belt. That's why I mentioned this. Did you think I was giving you face?"

"Cut the crap. Are you selling or not?"

Song Shi was not interested in talking nonsense with this guy. If they were in a different place and this guy dared to rush in like this, he would have directly dealt with him first.

"You have some temper!"

Second Brother Lu's eyes seemed to be vertical as he stared at Song Shi like a venomous snake. "I've never seen you before. You probably don't have any background. Where did you get your confidence from?"

He, Second Brother Lu, dared to be arrogant because he knew very well who was better than him or whose background was better than his.

This person was clearly not among the group of people he thought he could not afford to offend.

"Shopkeeper Zhuang, let's forget about this tonight. I don't want to talk to a fool."

Song Shi was no longer interested. This guy was clearly determined to take advantage of him. If he continued, he would only ask for an exorbitant price.

"Young Master Lu, who would dare to do business with you like this?"

Zhuang Cai frowned, "You know that my Myriad Treasures Store has our own rules. We can't buy your things at a high price every time. If you want to exchange for more spirit stones, you should sell to him."

"Alright, I'll give you, Zhuang Cai, some face today."

Second Brother Lu took out a black and white devil seed. This thing was the size of a soybean and was densely covered in strange demonic patterns.

He teased, "Ten thousand Spiritual Stones, no bargaining. How many can you afford?"

Song Shi frowned. Ten thousand spirit stones was not a small sum.

Ordinary Early-stage Qi Refinement and Postnatal martial artists did not have more than two digits of spirit stones on them.

Those at the middle and late stages of Qi Refinement usually did not have more than three digits of Spirit stones.

Among Foundation Establishment Cultivators, one would be considered rich to have a few thousand Spirit Stones. If one wanted to have more than ten thousand Spirit Stones, generally, only Golden Core Cultivators or wealthy Foundation Establishment Extraordinaries could gather enough of them. Furthermore, they would probably have to trade all their assets.

No wonder Golden Core cultivators rarely bought this thing. It was mainly because it was too expensive.

Ten Thousand spirit stones could buy many low-grade magic treasures, high-grade magic pills and elixirs that could increase the cultivation of the Golden Core realm. Even those elixirs that could increase the cultivation of even a Golden Core cultivator only costs a few thousand Spirit stones.

In comparison, such pure seeds were useless as they could only be nurtured by living people. It was too troublesome. He hence concluded that the price Second master Lu quoted was too high!

He looked at Zhuang Cai, "You haven't told me the approximate market price of this thing."

"Zhuang Cai, since you have already introduced me to the 'business', you can get lost now. I'll naturally pay you a little reward if you scram."

Second Master Lu did not give Zhuang Cai a chance to speak.

"Young Master Lu, do you really think you're so powerful?"

Zhuang Cai sneered, "You have to understand that the Sky Demon Cult's Sect Master is very polite to our trading company. Don't push your luck."

When it came to his store's credibility, Zhuang Cai could not just ignore Song Shi's question. With a single sentence, the face of the Second Master Lu darkened.

This time, Second Master Lu dropped his pretentious act because the upper echelons of the Thousand Treasures Store were indeed powerful.

Zhuang Cai said to Song Shi, "Demon seeds are also divided into quality. The lowest is about three thousand spirit stones. They can form Foundation Establishment-level demon pills. With each higher level, their power will also increase. The quality of the demon pills condensed will naturally be one level higher. This is medium-grade and is worth about five thousand spirit stones."

"Oh, so he doubled the asking price?"

Song Shi was not surprised. He did not even believe the price Zhuang Cai was talking about, but he did not care. He said calmly, "I want all the demonic seeds you have."

With that, he took out a pair of green scissors and slammed them on the table. "This should be enough to buy ten demonic seeds of this level!"

Seeing the scissors, Zhuang Cai exclaimed, "High-grade Dharma treasure!"

He suddenly regretted it. If he had known that Song Shi was so rich, he would definitely have personally sold him to earn the difference in the asking price and real price.

He originally thought that Song Shi was only a little rich, but in the end, he still misjudged him.
