Although he hadn't been on the streets for half a month, Ling Dong's reputation as the hedonistic Third Young Master had increased!
All the young ladies and young ladies who had a little bit of good looks, when they saw the tall charcoal man behind Ling Dong, who was like a signboard, they all ran away from him. On the contrary, the owners of the rouge and powder shops were all smiling when they saw Ling Dong.
Because the sucker was here again!
Ling Dong was famous for his love of buying these women's toys. He was also famous for not bargaining. He would give you whatever you quoted and even give you a tip when you paid the bill.
But today, the owners of many rouge, powder, and women's clothing stores were disappointed!
They watched as Third Young Master Ling passed by with the Fan of Beauties in his hand, but didn't enter the shops. This made the owners whose businesses were not doing well anxious. They wished they could personally drag Third Young Master Ling into the shops to spend money.
However, Ling Dong didn't enter any of the shops until he disappeared at the end of the street corner. This made the disappointed owners feel a little better. After all, no one had anything!
Nanshan Market Square was originally a market where martial artists who cultivated aura qi could freely exchange cultivation resources. Martial artists who went into the mountains to hunt demonic beasts would bring the furs, materials, and herbs they picked up along the way to sell here!
Over time, some vendors came after hearing the news. Some big families saw the business opportunity and moved in one after another, forming a market that specialized in providing all kinds of resources and information for martial artists, especially martial artists who were above the Xiantian Realm! From the herbs needed to refine Qi Nourishing Pills to the weapons, techniques, and battle techniques, everything was available! Of course, don't expect to see any high-grade goods.
The founder of the market couldn't be found. Now, it was jointly controlled by the three big aura qi families of Nanshan County and the biggest gang in Nanshan County, the Boulder Gang.
The four families shared the profits and jointly controlled the transactions in Nanshan Market Square. They maintained the order here and controlled the large transactions here! To a certain extent, Ling Dong could be considered the owner of one-fourth of Nanshan Market Square. However, the Ling family was currently in charge of the affairs of Nanshan Market Square. It was Ling Zhengshan.
Ling Dong's destination today was the South Mountain Market.
Although it was morning, this Southern Mountain Market was bustling with martial artists. From time to time, there would be some cultivators who were covered in dust and had a bloody smell all over their bodies. They would squat down in an open space with large bags on their backs, and after casually spreading out their bags, they would close their eyes and rest, allowing the passersby to pick and choose.
When he passed by these stalls, Ling Dong slowed down his pace. In his previous life, when he wandered around the various markets of the continent, he had also picked up many treasures from these stalls.
After walking for a few steps, Ling Dong's eyes lit up. He pointed at a bottle of light blue blood and asked, "Is this the blood of the Inborn Late-stage demonic beast, Mount-Swallowing Toad?"
The stall owner, who was leaning against the wall to rest, cracked a smile when he heard that. "Little brother, you also have such knowledge? This is the blood of the Mountain-swallowing Toad, a demon beast at the late-stage of the Congenital Realm. We've spent a great deal of effort to kill this thing! "
"What price?" Naturally, Ling Dong was a little impatient with such an excuse to raise the price. This Mount-Swallowing Toad's blood was good stuff. Of course, it had to be in the hands of someone who knew its value!
The burly man was a little hesitant. He was hesitating whether he should take advantage of Ling Dong. After all, the Mount-Swallowing Toad's blood was not easy to sell. There were several times when he could not sell it and had to sell it.
"Two hundred taels of silver for a bottle!" Seeing Ling Dong's urging, the burly man quoted a price. His eyes were still looking at Ling Dong anxiously. In the past, no one would buy it even if it was a hundred taels of silver.
"How many bottles do you have in total?" Ling Dong asked with a little surprise. The price of two hundred taels of silver could be said to be the price of a black pearl. Before his rebirth, such a bottle of Mount-Swallowing Toad's blood could be easily sold for a thousand taels of gold per bottle. It was the kind that was priceless.
Feeling that there was hope for business, the burly man smiled shyly. "There are only two bottles in total! This Mount-Swallowing Toad always likes to self-explode before it dies, so the blood collected is very limited! "
"Oh, I'll take them all!" Ling Dong knew that the burly man was telling the truth. This was also one of the reasons why the Mount-Swallowing Toad's blood was so valuable.
"Here, this is a thousand taels of silver note!" Ling Dong gave him a thousand taels of silver note right away.
The burly man was obviously surprised. "I only have two bottles …"
Ling Dong put away the two bottles of Mount-Swallowing Toad's blood like they were treasures and handed them to Gao Yuan who was behind him. He then said, "I'll buy these two bottles for five hundred taels of silver. The other five hundred taels will be the deposit. In the future, if you get any Mount-Swallowing Toad's blood, just sell it to me directly! "As he spoke, Ling Dong handed Gao Yuan a name card that was unique to the direct descendants of the Ling family.
"Send it to the Third Young Master of the Ling family in the south of the city, Ling Dong. Ling Dong is me!" Ling Dong added. He believed that with the reputation of the Ling family, none of the martial artists in Nanshan Commandery would dare to cheat the Ling family of their money.
Hearing this, the burly man looked terrified. "You … You're that … You're that … You're that … You're the one who doesn't sleep without a girl every night, from old women in their forties to young girls. You're the one who always sleeps with your father …"
Seeing that Ling Dong's expression was getting worse, the burly man wisely shut his mouth!
After a while, Ling Dong's expression returned to normal. He flicked his clothes calmly and took out a hundred taels of silver note. "Tell me, where did you hear this from?"
Seeing the banknotes, the burly man swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He picked up the banknotes and happily put them away. Then he said, "Of course it's the restaurant. Every day when there are a lot of people in the restaurant, there will be a storyteller playing and singing. There will be new stories every day. The storyteller is very vivid. Even the posture of doing it …"
While he was talking excitedly, the burly man was frightened by Gao Yuan's murderous gaze behind Ling Dong. He quickly shut his mouth!
"Remember, if you collect the Mount-Swallowing Toad's blood, send it to the Ling family. You won't be mistreated!" Ling Dong reminded him again and left the stall.
However, after this incident, Ling Dong was no longer in the mood to shop in the market and search for treasures.
Ling Dong himself did not care much about his reputation. No matter how good or bad his reputation was, it was nothing in front of powerful strength. However, this rumor had insulted his father, which triggered Ling Dong's anger.
What made Ling Dong even angrier was that this rumor had spread throughout the Nanshan Market. The Nanshan Market was also guarded by the Ling family. These people had ignored this rumor and deserved to be killed!
Suppressing his anger, Ling Dong patiently went to a few Spiritual Herb Shops and Material Shops to buy some herbs and the blood of a few other types of Demonic Beasts. However, what made Ling Dong depressed was that he could not buy the talisman pen that he urgently needed in the entire market.
Ling Dong had no choice but to look at the behemoth that he was extremely afraid of in his previous life — Kuixing Pavilion!
Kuixing Pavilion was an auction house that could be found all over the mainland! Kuixing Pavilion could be found in any city with a little background. Even some prosperous towns had Kuixing Pavilion there.
Kuixing Pavilion not only regularly auctioned some valuable items, but also did business. It could be said that it was a versatile grocery store!
Kuixing Pavilion had everything that other shops had. Kuixing Pavilion also had everything that other shops did not have. However, the price was not something that ordinary people could afford.
If there was a place that had talisman pens, it would be Kuixing Pavilion.
When he thought of Kuixing Pavilion, Ling Dong's mood became complicated. It was almost noon, so he was not in a hurry to buy the talisman pen. He casually looked around and then brought Gao Yuan to the largest and most famous restaurant in the Nanshan Market — Hero Restaurant! He wanted to take this opportunity to find out who was the mastermind behind the smearing of his name!
In order to smear Ling Dong's reputation, the mastermind had smeared Ling Dong's father, Ling Yuanshan. Ling Dong was really angry. No matter who it was, Ling Dong would find out who it was!
After a few steps, Ling Dong suddenly thought of something. He stopped and said to Gao Yuan, "Gao Yuan, go find Sun Sanpao, the leader of Green Dragon Association. Tell him that I want to see him. After you find him, bring him directly to Hero Restaurant!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Gao Yuan received the order and left. Ling Dong, on the other hand, went straight to Hero Restaurant!
It was almost noon. There was an endless stream of martial artists going to the four-story Hero Restaurant for lunch. A few waiters with white towels on their shoulders were singing the names of the dishes.
When Ling Dong walked in, a waiter came to greet him. With a gloomy face, Ling Dong only said two words, "Private room!"
The waiter was stunned. When he saw that Ling Dong was alone, he immediately smiled and said, "Sir, business is good here. The private rooms are full. Please share a table in the main hall!"
"Slap!" A white palm slapped the waiter's cheek! Ling Dong was in a bad mood, but he didn't want to talk to the waiter.
The waiter's eyes widened, and he was just about to make a scene when he realized that what was slapped on his face was a hundred taels banknote, as well as a jade token representing the identity of a Ling Family disciple. The anger on his face immediately turned into a smile, "Sir, please come in!" After saying that, he led the way!
Ling Dong sneered. He had a lot of experience in his previous life. How could he not know how these big restaurants operated? The best private rooms were reserved for the most important guests. Sometimes, they would rather not use them!
As he was going upstairs, a gong sounded from the second floor of the restaurant. A storyteller began to shout, "Dear guests, today's story is: Third Young Master Visits a Widow at Night, Father and Son Play the Beautiful Sisters!"
Inadvertently, Ling Dong, who was going upstairs, clenched his fists!
