The town was called Nanzhang Town, and there were two clans living there. One was the Nan Clan, and the other was the Zhang Clan.
It was said that these two clans had a certain background, which was why they were able to control Nanzhang Town.
The two clans had recruited a lot of cultivators, and some of them were quite outstanding.
With these two clans guarding Nanzhang Town, even fierce beasts didn't dare to enter.
On the way, they saw many people entering Nan Zhang Town. Many of them were like Lin Feng and the others. They came to Nan Zhang Town with all sorts of things, such as fire stones, beast hides, and even some spiritual herbs. They also came to Nan Zhang Town to exchange for food.
Nan Zhang Town was bustling with people. After arriving in Nan Zhang Town, Lin Feng took four furs and sold them. He didn't want to attract too much attention. The villagers didn't want to be exposed, otherwise, it would bring disaster to them.
Zhang Danian and the others were very clear about this. If they sold beast hides, they would definitely attract a lot of attention. These were fierce beast hides, not ordinary beast hides. Fierce beast hides were hundreds or even hundreds of times more expensive than ordinary beast hides. Zhang Danian and the others obviously didn't have the ability to protect them.
After parting with Zhang Danian and the others, Lin Feng walked towards the market. The market was a trading center, and people could trade here.
In a corner of the market, many people were selling beast hides, but most of them were beast hides.
Beast hides could be made into clothes, just like mink fur could be made into mink coats. They were very popular among officials and nobles. Wearing mink coats wasn't only a high-class garment, but also gave people a lot of face.
On the other hand, clothes sewn from the skin of vicious beasts were very popular because of their strong defensive power. However, not everyone could afford clothes sewn from the skin of vicious beasts. The price was extremely high.
Lin Feng found a place and took out the beast hides of the Two-Headed Blood Wolf, the Demon Snake, the Shadow Leopard, and the Dragon-Tailed Tiger. He placed them in front of him.
"Look, it's beast hides!"
"Two-headed Blood Wolf's hide, Shadow Leopard's hide, and Dragon Tail Tiger's hide!"
"Oh my god, it's so big! Is it the Three-Eyed Demon Snake's hide?"
…
After seeing the four kinds of animal skins, many people gathered around and pointed at them. They discussed animatedly, and all of them had shocked expressions on their faces.
Ferocious beast skins were rare.
Taking out four types of Vicious Beast skins at once, including the skin of an overlord-class Vicious Beast Demon Snake, was even more shocking.
"Little brother, how much are you selling the hides?" Immediately, someone asked.
This was a middle-aged man. He was very fat and wore a brocade robe. He looked like a businessman.
Lin Feng had already asked Zhang Danian about the currency in this world. The currency used in this world was gold, silver, and copper.
One gold coin for one hundred silver coins.
One silver coin for one hundred copper coins.
Ten copper coins could buy fifty kilograms of grain.
Zhang Danian wasn't clear about the price of the fierce beasts, but he had seen someone selling the fierce beast skin of a red-eyed demon lion for ten gold coins.
Although Lin Feng had never seen a Scarlet-Eyed Demonic Lion before, Lin Feng guessed that the Scarlet-Eyed Demonic Lion was a vicious beast similar to the Dragon-Tailed Tiger.
The Two-headed Blood Wolf and Shadow Leopard were slightly weaker than the Dragon-Tailed Tiger.
As for the Demon Snake, its strength was more outstanding. It should be three or four levels higher than the Dragon-Tailed Tiger.
Lin Feng roughly estimated the price of the four types of beast skins and said, "Eight gold coins for the Two-headed Blood Wolf and Shadow Leopard, ten gold coins for the Dragon-Tailed Tiger, and forty gold coins for the Demon Snake."
"Little brother, lower the price a bit. It's not the peak season for beast skins now. Your price is too expensive."
The middle-aged man continued. He was clearly moved, but he still wanted to continue bargaining.
Lin Feng said, "The price is already very fair!"
The middle-aged man saw that Lin Feng wasn't willing to lower the price, so he nodded and said, "Alright, wrap this up for me."
Lin Feng squatted down and was about to wrap up the beast skin to make a deal with the middle-aged man.
Suddenly.
A group of more than ten people squeezed in from outside.
"Wait …" The leader coldly shouted.
"So it's Master Li!" When the middle-aged man saw the man in the lead, he hurriedly bowed.
These people were wearing mercenary uniforms, so they should be mercenaries. The surrounding people looked at this group of people with reverence. It seemed that these mercenaries had a very high status.
But thinking about it, it seemed to be very normal.
This world was different from the Sky Martial Continent.
The Sky Martial Continent was a world of cultivators, and mercenaries were a relatively low-level profession. Usually, only rogue cultivators would join together to form a mercenary group.
If one had a big power or a big background, who would be willing to be a mercenary? To live a life of blood on the blade?
Moreover, those with talent did not need to be mercenaries. They could join all kinds of big powers.
But it was obviously different in this world.
In this world, the laws of heaven and earth suppressed magic power and spiritual will. Cultivators were extremely rare.
Such a powerful warrior was an existence that looked down on all living things.
Mercenary groups were usually formed by warriors.
They were active in dangerous forests, hunting powerful beasts, searching for precious spirit medicines, ores, and so on.
Therefore, mercenary groups were a symbol of strength, wealth, and status.
Ordinary people could not afford to offend mercenary groups.
"Fatso Liu, I've taken a fancy to these four pieces of beast skins." The leader of the mercenaries was called Li Gang. He glanced at the middle-aged Fatso indifferently.
The middle-aged Fatso was called Liu Qing. He was the owner of the town's largest tailor shop.
Fatso Liu naturally did not dare to offend these mercenaries. He nodded and said, "Since Master Li has taken a fancy to them, these beast skins are naturally Master Li's!"
"Good, it seems that you, Fatso Liu, are still working for others."
Li Gang smiled faintly and ordered, "Give the gold coins to this kid."
"Yes, Master …" Immediately, a mercenary walked out and handed Lin Feng a bag.
Lin Feng opened the bag and counted. There were a total of twenty gold coins. He said, "My four pieces of beast skins are worth sixty-six gold coins, not twenty gold coins. I think you must have mistaken the amount!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Li Gang's face suddenly sank. He said coldly, "Kid, don't you know the rules of the market?"
Fatso Liu hurriedly whispered in Lin Feng's ear, "Little brother, these mercenaries are people we can't afford to offend. They have the final say on how much the things they like are worth. Since they gave you twenty gold coins, it means that your beast skins are only worth twenty gold coins. Don't get into a conflict with them. Otherwise, not only will you lose your twenty gold coins, you might even lose your life."
At this time, Li Gang's cold eyes swept over Lin Feng and asked word by word, "Fatso Liu should have told you some rules. I'm asking you now, are these four pieces of beast skins only worth twenty gold coins? Answer me now!"
