The so-called 'water collection' on the signboard was to purchase the Shapeshifting Water.
Of course, this store didn't just purchase, it also sold the Shapeshifting Water. It could be said to be a store that mixed the Shapeshifting Water and spirit stones.
Ye Kong followed Zhang Playin in, and saw a row of counters inside, and behind them stood a person with a very unique appearance. His eyes were round, small, and sunken. Moreover, the outer rim of his eyes was bright red like a parrot's.
"Red-eyed chicken, I'm here to bring you water again." Zhang Playin walked over.
The parrot-like beast cultivator didn't get angry. It seemed like he was called Red-eyed Chicken.
The red-eyed chicken didn't raise his head and replied, "It's Playin. There are so many bumpkins in the city now, so the price of water has dropped again."
Zhang Playin was a young man after all. He was used to being exploited by these unscrupulous merchants. He could only say, "How much has it dropped? How many spirit stones can I get?"
He placed the big and small bottles on the table. The red-eyed chicken opened them one by one and sniffed before saying, "Ten spirit stones."
"What? Just ten spirit stones!" Zhang Playin's eyes widened and he said angrily, "Even when my business isn't good, I can still get ten spirit stones. Now that my business is good and I have more Shapeshifting Water, why are the spirit stones not as good as before?"
The red-eyed chicken said angrily, "What can I do? The price of goods has changed. Do you understand the price of goods?" The red-eyed chicken angrily snorted. He threw out ten spirit stones and wanted to keep the bottles on the table.
But at this moment, a pair of hands pressed on it.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to rob me?" The red-eyed chicken raised his head and saw a young man in green standing in front of the counter. He had a faint smile on his face.
"Rob you? Are you worthy? " Although this young man looked a few years older than Zhang Playin, his words had an irrefutable aura.
The red-eyed chicken looked at the other party's cultivation and hurriedly said, "Oh, it's senior. May I know what advice senior has for me?"
Ye Kong asked, "What's the price of the Shapeshifting Water per person in the past?"
"A hundred spirit stones."
"What's the price today?"
The red-eyed chicken knew that this fella must be feeling indignant for Zhang Playin, so he lied, "Fifty spirit stones."
In his heart, he was thinking that there was no official price for this kind of exchange anyway. What could you do if I spout nonsense?
However, Ye Kong smiled. "The exchange rate has changed so much. It has dropped by half in just a few days."
The red-eyed chicken hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. Senior, you don't know, but during the City Lord's birthday celebration, all the village chiefs and town mayors have entered the city. This has caused the supply of the Water of Transformation to exceed the demand, and it's inevitable that the price will drop."
Ye Kong loosened his grip and nodded. "You're right. I was too rash."
Red-eyed Chicken thought that he had managed to fool Ye Kong. Just as he was about to put away the bottles, he didn't expect that Ye Kong would suddenly take out a black bag and throw it on the table.
"According to the ratio you mentioned, give me 100 portions of the Shapeshifting Water!"
"Ah!" The red-eyed chicken was stunned. The price he spoke of just now was just nonsense. If he really sold it like that, then he would definitely suffer a huge loss.
"Senior, you're a human. What do you need the Shapeshifting Water for?" The red-eyed chicken knew that he was no pushover, so he hurriedly smiled apologetically.
"Why do you care if I buy it? Can't I take it back to wash my feet? "Ye Kong coldly harrumphed.
'Take it back to wash your feet? How dare you say that!' The red-eyed chicken cursed inwardly. However, he couldn't do anything in this situation. This person was clearly here to cause trouble.
"But senior …"
"But what? Can you do this business? If you can't do something like collect and sell water, then what's the point of keeping a signboard like this? "Ye Kong had smashed other people's signboards many times on Earth, so he was very clear about this.
Seeing that Ye Kong was about to smash his signboard, the red-eyed chicken hurriedly pulled Ye Kong back and said anxiously, "Senior, I really didn't speak the truth just now. As an apology, I'll buy Zhang Playin's water at the usual price."
On the other side, Zhang Playin still needed to sell water in the future. He couldn't offend the red-eyed chicken too much, so he also begged, "Senior Ye, forget it, forget it."
However, Ye Kong kicked Zhang Playin away and said angrily, "What does this have to do with you? The problem now is that this red-eyed brat deceived me! Deceiving senior and smashing your signboard is a light punishment. How about we go to the Castellan's Mansion and talk about it? "
The red-eyed chicken regretted it too much. He smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, don't scare me. It's not easy for us to do business … I offended you. Of course, I have to make it up to you. Senior, how about …"
The red-eyed chicken suddenly thought of something and said, "Senior, what do you think of this?"
Ye Kong looked at his hand and found it was a jade card. Ye Kong asked, "What's this?"
The red-eyed chicken smiled and said, "Senior, you're rich. I guess this is your first time in Black Dragon City. I think this is the most suitable thing for you."
Ye Kong was a bit curious. He took the jade card and found that it contained information about the time and place of an exchange meeting.
Ye Kong sneered, "You're such a profiteer. How could you give such a worthless thing as a gift? It's just an exchange meeting. There are so many of them outside! "
The red-eyed chicken shook his head and said, "Senior, this isn't an ordinary exchange meeting. It's a black market exchange meeting. You'll find rare items and some of them can't be sold outside. It represents the largest and most comprehensive underground market in Black Dragon City. Without this ticket, you can't get in."
Ye Kong was a bit interested. He nodded and said, "If so, I'll take it."
The red-eyed chicken let out a sigh of relief and said, "Senior, the ticket is worthless. But it's hard to get one for those who can't get one."
Ye Kong patted the red-eyed chicken and said with a smile, "Not bad. It's a good thing. I won't smash your signboard then."
"Thank you, senior." The red-eyed chicken cupped his hands and said, "Senior, do you want to buy some Transformation Water at the market price?"
"F * ck your ancestors. Why would I want that? Do you wash your feet with it?" Ye Kong snorted. He put away the spirit stones and walked out of the store.
"Senior Ye, you're so awesome. Teaching that guy a lesson was so satisfying!" Zhang Guobin followed Ye Kong excitedly. He had been exploited by the red-eyed chicken many times before. Today, Ye Kong helped him vent his anger.
Ye Kong said, "That's just petty tricks. To survive in this world, strength is the most important thing. If I weren't in the late stage of Core Formation, why would he be afraid of me?"
Zhang Guobin nodded and said, "I see. Senior, I must be as awesome as you in the future."
The Exchange Gathering was held at night. Ye Kong and Zhang Playin walked around the black market again, buying some rare herbs and materials in Cang Nan. They didn't find anything else that caught their interest, so the two of them returned to the inn.
When they returned, they found Cao Muse still meditating. Ye Kong didn't want to disturb her, so he sat by the window and watched the pedestrians outside.
All living beings were working hard. So were humans and so were beasts. What everyone wanted was immortality. But even if they could live forever, so what?
Ye Kong was not a person who was afraid of death. If he was afraid of death, he wouldn't have encountered so many dangers. He did not seek immortality for eternal survival, but for eternal freedom.
Only by standing at the top of the pyramid, standing at the peak, could he look down on all living beings and make the world as he imagined!
He didn't know when, but a white jade hand was placed on his shoulder. Cao Muse asked, "Are you worried about Da Yu?"
Ye Kong didn't speak. Cao Muse said again, "Actually, we should be happy for Da Yu. After all, she found her family. Now she is living with her family … .Of course, without Da Yu's help, your strength might be a bit weaker. But we can't be so selfish. Although she is a spirit beast …."
"Master, what are you talking about?" Ye Kong stood up and took Cao Muse's hand from his shoulder. He held it and said, "Although Da Yu is my spirit beast, I have never regarded her as a beast. I regard her as my friend … .No, my family! How could I be worried about my strength being weakened? Let alone now, even when I was in the Qi Refining Stage, I had already told Elder Hong Luan, who wanted to snatch Da Yu, that as long as there was a better place, a place that was more suitable for Da Yu, not only would I, Ye Kong, not stop it, I would also do my utmost to facilitate it. "
The evening sun shone in, making Ye Kong's face look golden. Cao Muse's eyes flickered as she said faintly, "Now I know why Wu Yi and Zixuan chose you …"
If he treated beasts this way, he would treat humans even more. How many such affectionate and righteous men were there in Cangnan?
Ye Kong stood up. Cao Muse put her pretty face on his chest … By the windowsill, the two of them could be seen snuggling up to each other.
In the evening, the Black Dragon City was still very busy. Apparently, the nightlife of the monster cultivators was also good. The nightclub was bustling with noise and excitement. Seductive cat girls with long tails were looking for targets under the lights. There were also many wolf head guards wandering back and forth. There were also many rich demon cultivator second-generation masters dressed in luxurious clothes who wanted to have some fun.
However, these were all superficial monster cultivators. The real high-level monster cultivators and rich ones were all heading to a remote place in the city.
It was a two-story wooden storefront. It did not look very impressive, and there was nothing outside the door. There was not even a lantern hanging on it. There was a small black door downstairs.
"Is it here? Why isn't there even a receptionist? " When Cao Muse was in Bluestone Town, she had participated in many monster exchange fairs, but she had never seen such a deserted place.
Ye Kong looked at the plaque on the small building. It was indeed Treasure House. This was the place mentioned in the jade slip.
However, it was dark here, and there was a layer of restriction that prevented people from using their divine senses to explore. If there was a trap or a trap inside, it would be very dangerous.
When Ye Kong was hesitating, he saw two figures walk in. Then, another person walked in … Not until then did Ye Kong notice that there were many people wandering around. None of them dared to go in. Only when one person took the lead did everyone else go in.
Taking advantage of the crowd, Ye Kong took Cao Muse's hand and followed them in.
After walking in, Ye Kong found that there was a receptionist inside. It was an old man in the Foundation Establishment Realm, who was also a monster cultivator.
"Senior, 100 spirit stones per person. Each jade slip is limited to two people," the old monster cultivator said.
The monster cultivator who went in first showed the jade slip, dropped the spirit stones, took the black cloak from the old man, and went to the second floor.
But the other monster cultivators were not happy. Some said, "Hey, are you robbing us? One hundred Spirit Stones! The entrance fee is one hundred Spirit Stones, and one hundred per person! I've never seen such an expensive entrance fee! "
Another monster cultivator said, "We have one more person. We'll give you the spirit stones. Can you make an exception?"
However, the old man ignored him and kept repeating, "Senior, 100 spirit stones per person. Each jade slip is limited to two people."
