From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 457 Shark
You Ming nodded slightly. He wasn't familiar with these people, but for some reason, he felt that this Fairy Taochuan was a bit too enthusiastic, which made him feel uncomfortable.

However, he didn't think much of it, assuming it was just the other person's personality.

"Shameless talk!"

"The Twelve Immortals are twelve individuals chosen by the Immortal Path to great fortune. How dare you, a mere rogue cultivator, spout such nonsense?"

But just then, a somewhat cold and sharp voice came from not far away.

They saw several people surrounding a handsome young man wearing a golden crown as he walked upstairs. However, they seemed to have just overheard the words of the Fairy of Peach River. One of them, a middle-aged man covered in red scale armor with a protruding forehead, was looking at You Ming and his group with hostility.

Taochuan Fairy was about to lash out, but when she saw the young man, her heart skipped a beat.

"Alright, Hong Yuan, this is just a verbal dispute, don't take it too seriously."

The boy frowned, and a hint of seriousness flashed across his face when his gaze fell on You Ming, but he quickly continued walking forward.

The man named Hong Yuan looked at the crowd with even more hostility, but then he snorted coldly and turned away.

Taochuan Fairy's face paled slightly; she had only intended to offer a few words of flattery to You Ming.

Although she knew that You Ming was not favored by the immortals and gods, to be fair, his strength did indeed surpass that of those sect prodigies.

Unexpectedly, while she was complimenting You Ming, she ran into the person in question.

If she wasn't mistaken, the golden-crowned youth should be Ao Yunhai, one of the Five Clouds, Four Heroes, and Three Heroes.

Although he is a dragon, he does not practice the dragon's methods, but has cultivated immortal techniques since childhood. It is said that in recent years, he has further fused immortal techniques with the secret techniques of the dragon race, resulting in a surge in his strength.

She was just a rogue cultivator, and although she felt she had cultivated for several hundred years longer than him, she was still no match for Ao Yunhai.

"Ahem, fairy, there's no need to worry too much."

"Since Ao Yunhai is with Hong Yuan, he must be helping him out. I just didn't expect that Hei Yuan is really hiding his true strength, and that he was able to get the Dragon Clan to help him."

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, the River God took the initiative to speak.

But in reality, his heart was also in turmoil.

Hong Yuan was one of the eight candidates, the Crimson Scaled Flood Dragon. Although the dragon bloodline of the Flood Dragon was the strongest among the many aquatic creatures, in the eyes of the dragon race, they were just servants.

It's unclear what methods Hong Yuan used to persuade Ao Yunhai.

Although the River God's words eased the tension at the banquet somewhat, most people remained deep in thought for the rest of the time, only occasionally exchanging a few words.

The name Ao Yunhai still stands like a mountain in everyone's hearts.

……

After the banquet, You Ming wandered around the entire [Miao Le Fang].

He didn't take Ao Yunhai or anything like that to heart.

He has killed five True Immortals, so his standards have long been set very high. He used to regard the Twelve Immortals as his rivals, but now they are nothing more than juniors in his eyes.

In particular, he had just observed Ao Yunhai and found that the other party was still stuck at the Dharma Aspect level and had not yet stepped into the Tribulation stage.

This wasn't arrogance on his part; it was simply a natural change in his mindset as his strength increased.

"How are these merfolk sold?"

You Ming stood in front of a pond. A grotesque-looking yaksha merchant was cleaning cages. A dozen young merfolk swam in the pond. When they saw You Ming approaching, they even took the initiative to approach and made "whimpering" sounds.

Merfolk can be either naturally occurring or artificially created. Natural groups generally live in the South China Sea and are naturally skilled in water manipulation, chanting, and playing musical instruments, and also possess a certain degree of allure.

They are affiliated with the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea, and are a major clan in the South China Sea.

However, because merfolk are beautiful and highly entertaining, many divine forces use the [Creation Pool] to create some merfolk.

"These are genuine South China Sea merfolk, no more than thirty years old, and each one is a beauty. If you want to buy one now, I can give you a 20% discount, and each one will cost you 120 units of divine power."

"Whether you buy it as a servant or take it as a concubine, it is an excellent choice."

When the yaksha saw a customer coming, he immediately put down the cage he was holding and began to warmly welcome him.

"One hundred and twenty divine powers is too expensive. How about eighty divine powers? The divine merfolk next door only sell for thirty divine powers. Even if yours is natural, it won't sell for that price."

You Ming shook his head. Although he was rich, he didn't want to waste his money like that.

"This is not how customers bargain."

"What kind of merfolk are those deified people? They are all crudely made and have no bloodline inheritance. Especially the merfolk who sell thirty divine powers are all crudely made. The cost may not even be ten divine powers. How can they be as good as our genuine South China Sea merfolk?"

"How about this, since I see you really want to buy, if you buy three or more, I'll give you a price of 110 divine power per head."

Boss Yaksha clearly despised the behavior of disrupting prices and driving out good money in the market.

If it weren't for You Ming's extraordinary demeanor, he would have sworn at him.

"Eighty divine powers each, I want them all."

You Ming still insisted on his bottom line on prices. In his cave, the Mirror Lake was vast, and he needed some living creatures to attract people.

Just as Boss Yaksha said, although the gods are convenient, they are ultimately artificial creations, especially the low-level gods, who are almost no different from puppets.

If we were to generate advanced divine beings, it would be better to simply capture some living creatures from the outside world.

“One hundred…one hundred divine power each.”

Seeing that Youming was a big client, Yaksha gritted his teeth and called out another price.

"It's too high, I'll go check next door."

You Ming shook his head. In recent years, he had heard that the dragon race in the South China Sea was in turmoil, with wars breaking out year after year, and many subordinate races were suffering greatly.

Nowadays, females of many deep-sea species are very cheap, and some even willingly sell themselves into slavery, just to get food.

"Hey, wait a moment, sir. Eighty it is. Consider it a loss for me today."

Seeing that Youming was really going to leave, Yaksha didn't want to lose such a big client, so he quickly grabbed him.

"Hahaha, this is 1,040 divine powers. Count them carefully."

You Ming flicked his finger, and streams of divine power merged into one, falling into the Yaksha's hand.

Then he reached out and gestured, and the void in front of him began to shrink continuously. The pool that held the merfolk became only the size of a palm, which You Ming then grabbed.

Upon seeing this, Yaksha was startled, realizing that he had encountered a master today.

In the human world, there are very few who possess such spatial mastery.

However, given your status, why are you bothering with me about such a small amount of divine power?
