"Sigh!"
At the front desk of the Great Salt Trading Company, Song Yafei held her chin as she sat in place. She sighed, her eyes filled with irritation.
The frying pan had been hanging on the wall for more than two hours, but no one had come to ask about it. It seemed like he really had to pay for the three silver taels himself.
She had only been working for a month and she had already encountered such a thing. Anyone would feel aggrieved.
"In the future, don't be a good person so easily …"
Tossing those thoughts aside, Zhang Xuan was just about to return to the counter to continue working when a group of people suddenly rushed up to him.
Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man at the front, his face couldn't help but change.
Head Chief, He Jinquan!
"Were you the one who hung that frying pan up there?" the other party's voice sounded before he even got close to Zhang Xuan.
"Yes …" Knowing that she had gotten herself into trouble, Song Yafei's face reddened in embarrassment. "I … I was just trying to see if I could sell it. If it doesn't conform to the rules, I'll just take it off right now …"
"No need!" He Jinquan interrupted her, "Do you know … where is the senior who sold the wok now?"
"Senior?" Song Yafei blinked.
"That's right. This pot was refined with a high level of skill and is a rare spirit artifact. If this senior is willing to sell this thing, it means that he trusts my Great Salt Trading Company. Such an honored guest should be personally visiting …" He Jinquan hurriedly said.
"This …" Song Yafei was stunned for a moment. "This wok … is not a waste product?"
"Of course not!"
He Jinquan laughed. "To be able to receive such a treasure and hang it on the sales wall, your eyesight and ability are not bad. From today onwards, you will be in charge of the front desk. Everything at the front desk will be under your control!"
"I …"
Song Yafei's face reddened. She felt as if she had been struck by happiness. She could not believe it.
It was just a moment ago that the round-faced girl had said that she was doomed. Not only would she lose money, she might even be reprimanded by her superiors. Never in her dreams did she expect that not only would she not be punished, she would even be promoted to the position of a supervisor …
The change was so fast that she couldn't get used to it.
"Could it be that … this wok is worth a lot of money?" A thought popped into his mind.
"It's not just valuable, it's far more valuable than all of the items in today's auction. Once the auction starts, it'll definitely break the record of our trading firm!" Seemingly having seen through Luo Ruoxin's thoughts, He Jinquan exclaimed in agitation, "In fact … it can even be said to be a priceless treasure!"
"…"
As if struck by lightning, Song Yafei was completely dumbfounded.
It was a priceless treasure, yet that young man had placed it in his possession without a care. Such breadth of mind and boldness …
That's right, he was only a mortgage!
With a pale face, he hurriedly spoke up, "Butler He, the owner of this cauldron is only putting it up for sale. He didn't sell it to us …"
"I know. Hanging it here means that they have agreed to sell it. I have already discussed it with the boss. We will auction it off three days later, and we will try our best to sell it for an astronomical price! As for us, we only charge one-tenth of the auction fee. "
Chief Conduit He.
In normal auctions, the auction house would only take thirty percent of the profits. However, given that the young man before them was able to take out such a powerful artifact so casually, he was bound to possess incredible strength. If they could befriend him, it would be beneficial for them to do so!
Taking only 10% was equivalent to sending out a friendly signal.
"Yes …"
Finally confirming that the other party was telling the truth, Song Yafei suppressed the agitation in her heart and explained, "This elder left after putting down the pot. I don't know what his name is or where he lives!"
"Yes!" Chief Conduit He wasn't surprised to hear those words. He pondered for a moment before asking, "Then … Since you have met this elder before, do you know if he has any hobbies or actions that we should take note of?"
There were many elders who had weird tempers. They had never met them before, so they couldn't afford to leave a bad impression on them.
Song Yafei thought for a moment before replying, "He … seems to be very low-profile!"
Not revealing the slightest bit of his cultivation, and taking out such a valuable artifact without any explanation … No matter how one looked at it, the other party was extremely low-profile!
"Low-profile?"
He Jinquan frowned. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "That means that he doesn't want to attract too much attention. How about this? The next time he comes over, pretend that you don't know what happened today. However, you have to treat him as a VIP and conduct the transaction with him!"
Since the other party liked to keep a low profile, they could treat him as a VIP discreetly. However, it would be best not to expose him openly. Otherwise, they might incur the displeasure of the other party.
"Yes!" Song Yafei hurriedly nodded.
She was going to be promoted and given a raise just by accepting a cauldron. Why did it feel like a dream?
…
Immortal Suppression Sect.
Zhou Yuan and Liu Chang returned to the Immortal Suppression Sect with pale faces.
To think that there would be a powerful demonic cultivator living in the forest so close to them. Furthermore, the demonic cultivator had even tried to kill everyone in the Immortal Suppression Sect … Just the thought of it left them shuddering in fear!
It was fortunate that they had escaped in time, or else they would have been dead by now.
Without any hesitation, they rushed to the Elder Council and rang the Assembly Bell, signaling an emergency assembly.
It didn't take long for the elders to arrive. Given the troubled times they were in, they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Seeing that it was just two ordinary disciples, Wu Yuan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to the elders … we discovered ordinary disciple Liu Yi secretly learning a demonic art. Not only so, we even saw the demonic cultivator who imparted the demonic art to him!"
Liu Chang took a deep breath and reported.
"Secretly learning a demonic art? Could it be that … the demonic cultivator has already infiltrated the sect? "
"Are you serious?"
The faces of the elders warped in shock.
For a disciple of a sect to secretly learn a demonic art, just this in itself was sufficient to cripple his cultivation and execute him on the spot! Not to mention, the demonic cultivator had infiltrated the sect!
If that was really the case, it would be truly frightening.
"The two of us saw it with our own eyes. We can swear on our lives that it's true!" Liu Chang quickly replied.
"Tell me everything that you know!" Wu Yuen ordered.
"Yes!"
Liu Chang and Zhou Yuan quickly recounted the matter of Liu Yi's sudden surge in strength, how they had secretly followed him, and how they had seen The Great Demon.
Recalling something, a glint flashed across Wu Yuen's eyes. "You said that … the demonic cultivator isn't tall and resembles a child?"
"That's right!" Liu Chang nodded.
"Elder Wu, do you know something?" Elder Yuan Buyi asked.
"Yesterday, news came from the Celestial Ocean that The Great Demon of the Euphoria, who had been sealed eight thousand years ago, broke the seal and fled in our direction. Initially, we thought that he was just passing by, but who could have thought that … he would be hiding in our sect!"
Wu Yuan clenched his fists tightly.
When it rains, it pours. When the boat is late, it encounters a headwind!
Many of our experts have just perished, and this fellow is already here. Are the heavens trying to destroy our Zhenxian Sect?
Back then, countless experts of the Master Teacher Continent had joined forces, but they were still unable to kill him. Given their current strength, how could they possibly stand against him?
"If it's really him, the Zhenxian Sect is in danger …" Yuan Buyi and the others' faces paled.
The Zhenxian Sect did not have a single Zongshi realm expert. Against the domineering The Great Demon, it was definitely a one-sided battle.
The room was silent for a long time before Wu Yuen asked with a hoarse voice, "Where did you see that demonic cultivator? What was he doing? "
Compared to the appearance of The Great Demon, a disciple learning demonic arts was nothing at all.
"We saw him in front of a residence in the depths of the forest!
"When we saw him, he was covered in feces, and he had just crawled out of the sewers …"
"Feces?"
"Sewers?"
Everyone was stunned.
Did the domineering The Great Demon have such peculiar hobbies?
