What! Tea leaves?
The salesman widened his eyes in shock and cried out in a strange voice, "Are you kidding me? When did you … hear that demons like to drink tea? "
As he spoke, the auctioneer cautiously looked into the inner hall and whispered, "You're lucky to have met me. If it were a demon here, he would have slapped you."
Seeing the auctioneer wave his hand repeatedly, indicating for him to leave, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but feel warmth in his heart.
No matter where they were, no matter what the situation was, humans would always look out for each other.
However, Chu Xingyun couldn't leave now. If the Dao Comprehension Tea couldn't be auctioned, then he would definitely miss the opportunity to obtain the poisonous ancient tablet.
Taking a light breath, Chu Xingyun said, "I know that demons like to drink, but they don't like to drink tea. However … this isn't ordinary tea. It's the Dao Comprehension Tea that can increase intelligence!"
What!
Looking at Chu Xingyun in shock, the auctioneer said in disbelief, "Are you for real? Just a cup of tea and your intelligence will increase? "
Nodding firmly, Chu Xingyun said, "That's right, it's exactly like that."
"Don't lie to me. Otherwise … once I call an appraiser and it's proven that you're lying to me, not only will you be in trouble, but I will also be punished."
The auctioneer said cautiously.
With a serious expression, Chu Xingyun said seriously, "I haven't lived long enough, and I won't be idle. I'm just trying to make you happy. This Dao Comprehension Tea can really increase intelligence."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun paused, then continued, "Why … is this Dao Comprehension Tea qualified to be auctioned?"
Looking strangely at Chu Xingyun, the auctioneer said in a low voice, "Of course it's qualified. You have to know … intelligence is the most important quality of cultivation. Increasing your intelligence makes it easier to understand the Great Dao, and your cultivation speed will be faster."
Looking at Chu Xingyun with admiration, the shop assistant continued, "Remember one thing. Anything that can help one's cultivation, no matter how big or small the help is, is something that experts from all walks of life would fight for."
Nodding, Chu Xingyun knew that although the effect might only be average … in a fight between powerful cultivators, it was basically impossible for an instant kill to occur.
Even if one side defeated the other, the victor would only be by a hair's breadth.
Therefore, treasures that were beneficial to cultivation were never worried about not being able to sell, nor did they need to worry about not being able to sell for a good price.
After confirming that the Dao Comprehension Tea could really increase intelligence, the auctioneer enviously, and pulled on the rope beside him..... At the same time, the crisp sound of a bell rang in the auction house..
.. the Dao Comprehension??????????????????????????????????
While speaking, the auctioneer lowered his voice and said, "Although there are many intelligent races in the Demon Race, there are even more stupid races. Those who are too smart will definitely fight over your Dao Comprehension Tea."
While they were talking, a stooped figure with a white beard walked out from the direction of the inner hall.
Upon closer inspection, it was a Cat Race Great Demon. He had the head of a cat and the body of a human. His white beard indicated that he had lived for a long time. His old body was severely hunched.
Adjusting the crystal glasses on his face, the Cat Race Great Demon waved his hand and chased the auctioneer away. Then, he sat on a chair and looked at the bamboo tube on the table.
The auctioneer didn't leave. Instead, he stood respectfully to the side and briefly explained the situation of the Dao Comprehension Tea.
Upon hearing that the Dao Comprehension Tea could increase intelligence, the Cat Race Great Demon immediately narrowed his eyes.
He gently picked up the bamboo tube, opened the lid, and gently sniffed it.
The next moment … the Cat Race Great Demon shook his head and said, "No. Although this Dao Comprehension Tea can indeed increase intelligence, the effects are too weak. The increase in intelligence is too low. It can't be considered a treasure. It can't be auctioned."
As he spoke, the Cat Race Great Demon stood up in disappointment and planned on leaving.
Wait …
Seeing that the Cat Race Great Demon was about to leave, Chu Xingyun hurriedly stopped him.
Although he didn't know the exact situation, according to the will of the universe, the Dao Comprehension Tea's effects on creatures with high intelligence were negligible.
However, to creatures with low intelligence, the Dao Comprehension Tea had a miraculous effect!
Of course, if Chu Xingyun could take out the three thousand tubes and the first batch of tea leaves, everything would be fine. However, Chu Xingyun couldn't bear to part with it.
Just as the auctioneer had said, any treasure that could increase one's cultivation level and was beneficial to one's cultivation was the most precious.
Chu Xingyun couldn't bear to sell the first batch of Dao Comprehension Tea. Chu Xingyun planned on keeping it for himself.
Therefore, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, Chu Xingyun had to do his best to fight for it. If he could avoid selling the first batch of Dao Comprehension Tea, he definitely wouldn't sell it …
Upon hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the Cat Race Great Demon stopped in his tracks and turned to Chu Xingyun. "Why … do you have other treasures?"
Shaking his head, Chu Xingyun said, "My Dao Comprehension Tea is rather special. To creatures with high intelligence like you, the effects are negligible. It's almost equivalent to nothing."
After pausing for a moment, Chu Xingyun continued, "However … to creatures with low intelligence, this Dao Comprehension Tea is simply miraculous! It can rapidly and greatly increase the intelligence of creatures with low intelligence. "
Oh! Is that true?
Upon hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the Cat Race Great Demon's eyes lit up and he slowly turned around.
He picked up the bamboo tube again and opened the lid. The Cat Race Great Demon said, "Words are no proof. I have to use facts as evidence. Do you mind if I take a batch of tea leaves and test it?"
Faced with the Cat Race Great Demon's inquiry, Chu Xingyun said, "No problem. I don't want to make any mistakes. Take whatever you want and test it. I also wish to understand the effects of this Dao Comprehension Tea in detail."
Meow … Meow …
Upon hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the Cat Race Great Demon suddenly raised his head and let out a series of strange meows.
Faced with this scene, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but be stunned.
Although the Cat Race Great Demon had the head of a cat, it wasn't actually a cat. Usually, it spoke human language, not cat language.
Now, this Cat Race Great Demon suddenly raised his head and meowed. What was the purpose of this?
Just as Chu Xingyun was pondering, a black cat silently appeared on the roof beam above. Then, with a bow, its figure disappeared again.
When the black cat appeared again, it was already in the Cat Race Great Demon's arms. It stuck out its tender red tongue and licked the Cat Race Great Demon's cheeks coquettishly.
The Cat Race Great Demon lovingly hugged the black cat and stroked its beautiful black fur. He said, "This is my most beloved pet, Little Black …"
