Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity
Chapter 625 The Fat Sheep Comes Knocking
Lu Erhu arrived at a courtyard gate and knocked lightly three times.
A small opening appeared beside the courtyard gate, and a voice came out asking:
"Who?"
"It's me, Lu Erhu."
"It's you again. What are you doing here?"
Lu Erhu said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and open the door!"
"No, you're the one who caused all the trouble last time."
Lu Erhu was also somewhat indignant, and Yu Changsheng asked from the side:
"Do you really have something good here? Or are you trying to scam me?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Erhu quickly reassured them, "Of course there are good things, it's just that these guys are really too ungrateful."
"Please wait a moment, young master, allow me to explain things to him."
Yu Changsheng frowned and said, "Hurry up, this young master won't wait for you after this deadline. If you don't hurry up, I'm leaving."
Lu Erhu quickly replied, "Don't worry, it'll be ready soon."
Lu Erhu kicked the courtyard gate a few times and said, "Don't you have any sense at all?"
"Didn't you see I brought a distinguished guest with me this time?"
"Open the door now, or you'll be sorry."
The person inside the door poked their head out to take a look, but Lu Erhu seized the opportunity and immediately pressed down on their neck.
He threatened, "Open the door now!"
"Let me go!"
"No problem, unless you open the door! You're not going to back in!"
Yu Changsheng watched the two guys from behind, speechless.
I've never seen such bizarre people, yet they managed to become a couple; it's truly a match made in heaven.
The two struggled for a while before the person inside finally agreed to open the door.
Only then did Lu Erhu loosen the man's neck.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Erhu slipped inside.
He said smugly, "Hmph, you think you can be my match? You're still too green!"
The man on the ground wiped the wound on his neck, grinning and saying, "Lu Erhu, this isn't over yet!"
Lu Erhu straightened his collar and said, "Hmph!"
"I'll wait and see what tricks you have up your sleeve."
After a brief argument, Lu Erhu suddenly remembered something. He immediately went to Yu Changsheng and Lu Erhu and said:
"Hehe, young master, seventh master, may we go in now?"
Yu Changsheng was becoming increasingly curious about where Lu Erhu was taking him.
Lu Erhu led the two deeper into the courtyard.
However, once inside, Yu Changsheng realized that this was not a place where anyone lived.
It's more like a city within a city.
Upon deeper exploration, one discovers a surprising array of streets and markets, bustling with activity.
It's incomparable to any other street market.
Yu Changsheng then realized that this place was a place known only to the locals.
Yu Changsheng asked, "I never imagined that there would be such a place in Sanling Town?"
"With so many people here, did they all come in through that small opening?"
Lu Erhu began to introduce:
"Hehe, young master, you misunderstand. This is the hidden alley of Sanling Town; the things sold here are the truly fine things of Sanling Town!"
"As for those things from outside, hehe, they're just sold to some unsuspecting tourists, they're not really rare treasures."
"This dark street is also divided into four main entrances: east, west, south, and north. We just entered through the north entrance."
"To enter this place, you must be led by someone you know."
"Moreover, not all the people here are from outside; quite a few have lived here all along."
Yu Changsheng said with slight surprise, "It's really unexpected that so many people live inside."
Yu Changsheng walked and looked around, stroking his chin.
He had already noticed it the moment he entered the market.
Most of these are shady businesses.
If we say that the outside is the face of the entire Sanling Town.
This is the true essence of Sanling Town.
There were many women on the street striking seductive poses, occasionally casting alluring glances at him.
Yu Changsheng asked, "Where are you taking us?"
Lu Erhu pointed ahead and said, "Young master, don't worry, it's just ahead."
Along the way, Yu Changsheng also paid attention to the surrounding situation.
I noticed that many people were staring at me, seemingly casually.
It felt like I was someone who didn't fit in at all here.
He naturally understood that he had been taken advantage of.
What Yu Changsheng didn't expect was that it would be so obvious that the people here could see it.
Lin Hao walked behind without saying a word, ignoring the stares around him, and simply followed closely.
It seems they've long since gotten used to this kind of place.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a separate storefront.
Lu Erhu pointed to the unmarked storefront and said, "Hehe, young master, the good stuff is inside."
Yu Changsheng looked inside; there weren't many customers in the store.
It was empty and there was almost nothing there.
Only one person was sitting in the middle drinking tea.
Yu Changsheng asked, "This place looks completely ordinary to me. It doesn't seem like there's anything good here."
Lu Erhu supported Yu Changsheng's back and told them to come in and talk.
"Hehe, young master, this is what you don't understand."
"Such a good thing cannot be displayed openly; it should naturally be hidden away, waiting for a destined person to come and claim it."
Yu Changsheng suddenly realized, nodded emphatically, and also agreed that there were some paths to take.
The three entered the store.
The person who was sitting upright immediately stood up.
Upon seeing Lu Erhu's face, he immediately understood what was going on and greeted him with a smile.
"Hehe, please come in, both of you."
"Lu Erhu, what are your names for these two? Introduce them to me quickly!"
Lu Erhu immediately said, "Hehe, this is Young Master Yu Chang."
"And the old man behind him is the young master's guard, the Seventh Master."
The man looked at the two of them and introduced himself, "My name is Wang Zixi, and I am the shopkeeper."
Yu Changsheng nodded and asked, "I heard from Lu Erhu that you have some good stuff here?"
"Take a look at it. If it's something I don't like, don't blame me for getting angry!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Erhu immediately said:
"Shopkeeper, this young master is very knowledgeable. He came here with me to see some truly interesting things. Please don't make me go back on my word."
Wang Zixi understood what was going on when he saw Lu Erhu's constantly blinking eyes.
He immediately laughed and said, "Hehe, young master, please rest assured, our little shop may be small, but the good stuff inside will definitely satisfy you."
"Please follow me, both of you."
Manager Wang immediately invited Yu Changsheng and his companion to the backyard.
As for Lu Erhu, he was about to rush in when he was stopped by Manager Wang.
"you?"
Lu Erhu was immediately displeased, but Manager Wang still refused to give any room for negotiation.
He whispered, "You shouldn't go in. The benefits will naturally come your way."
He then ignored Lu Erhu and went straight into the backyard.
Lu Erhu was furious. He had finally managed to catch two fat sheep, but this Manager Wang was so shameless.
They wouldn't even let him go in for a look.
However, despite his anger, Lu Erhu didn't dare to offend Manager Wang so easily.
I had no choice but to pour myself a cup of tea and drink it by myself.
"Tsk tsk, I must say, the tea here really does taste different from what you get outside."
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
In the backyard.
Yu Changsheng and his companion followed Manager Wang to a private room.
"Please take your seats."
Yu Changsheng nodded slightly and slowly walked in.
I glanced at my surroundings every now and then.
"I must say, although your yard is a bit small, the decoration is quite tasteful."
"Especially this hornbill wood table, it's clearly a top-quality item."
Shopkeeper Wang nodded repeatedly, "Young master, you really have a good eye. It's not easy to spot a hornbill tassel. Even an expert with more than ten years of experience would have to carefully distinguish it."
"I never expected that you would see through it at a glance, young master. I am truly impressed."
Yu Changsheng couldn't help but feel smug, and waved his hand, saying:
"Alright, enough with the nonsense, hurry up and bring out your good stuff."
"Very well, please come in, young master. Someone will bring it shortly."
"May I ask what kind of treasures you, young master, are interested in?"
Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment and then asked:
"Just browsing for now, you probably don't have most of what I need here."
"However, if I see something good that I like, I'll buy it even if it doesn't seem right."
Manager Wang scoffed inwardly, thinking how arrogant this young master really was.
Although his shop is small, the resources he can mobilize are beyond the imagination of a mere rich young master.
However, Manager Wang still smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I'll bring you some things to take a look at first."
Yu Changsheng and Lin Hao sat down and waited for a while before a maid brought out the finest tea.
As Yu Changsheng sipped his drink, he carefully observed the maid's face.
The maid blushed with embarrassment at being stared at, and quickly left the room with a shy expression.
After the maid left, Lin Hao asked, "What on earth are you up to?"
Yu Changsheng asked, "Hehe, senior, is there no one around here eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Lin Hao scoffed, "Do you think I wouldn't pay attention to these things?"
Yu Changsheng immediately laughed and said, "Hehe, since there is a senior here, with your terrifying divine sense, no one's existence can be hidden from you."
"One of the reasons I came here this time is to find out about the situation here."
"On the other hand, we also really want to get some rarer materials."
Lin Hao scoffed, "Do you really think you can get anything good in a place like this?"
"If there were really anything good, Wang Donghai would have bought it long ago."
"And didn't you realize? Those people are clearly trying to fleece you. If you really want to buy something, you'd better be prepared to bleed."
Yu Changsheng said, "What I need is indeed somewhat special, and even if Wang Donghai sees it, he may not want it."
"You might actually find something unexpected in a place like this."
"As for the other point, I'm aware of that as well. But how can I gain their trust without expending some effort?"
"It's just some money, material possessions. If it can help you accomplish something, then the money is well spent."
Lin Hao was slightly surprised, not expecting Yu Changsheng to think that way, so he didn't ask any further questions about the matter.
Since Yu Changsheng already knew what was going on, what he needed to do was very simple: protect Yu Changsheng's safety.
Before long, Manager Wang came over carrying a beautifully packaged box.
"This is the first batch of work. Let Young Master Yu see if it's acceptable."
"If Young Master Yu doesn't like it, we can bring others later."
Yu Changsheng leaned back in his chair, sipping his tea, and gestured for Manager Wang to take out the contents.
Although Manager Wang despised him, he treated him like a servant.
But thinking about the potential big business deal that might follow, he gritted his teeth and placed the box on the table.
I pulled off the gold cloth cover, carefully opened the box, and revealed the treasure inside.
It was a piece of animal bone that was very well protected, emitting a slight chill.
Seeing this, Lin Hao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but let out a soft snort to express his disdain.
They dare to show off such garbage.
Yu Changsheng glanced at it briefly and realized that the bone was nothing more than the bone of a third-tier ice-attribute spirit beast.
For most cultivators, it would indeed be a good thing.
But Yu Changsheng is at the Purple Mansion cultivation level; such things are outdated. Not to mention, those storage bags he gave to Elder Wei before.
There are countless spirit beast materials of the same level.
Yu Changsheng felt somewhat helpless. It turned out that in Manager Wang's mind, his appearance was only worth the material of a third-tier spirit beast.
Shopkeeper Wang asked, "What do you think of this item, young master?"
Yu Changsheng gave a soft snort and immediately closed the box.
"This is rubbish, Manager Wang. Is this the best stuff you can get in your shop?"
Shopkeeper Wang's face stiffened. He couldn't even be interested in the materials for a third-tier spirit beast. Just who was this young master?
At this moment, even Manager Wang was a little unsure.
"Young master, are you aware that this material is no ordinary material? It is the extremely rare skeleton of an ice-attribute spirit beast, priceless indeed!"
Yu Changsheng sneered inwardly. This Manager Wang deliberately didn't reveal the grade of the skeleton, clearly intending to test him.
"It's just the skeleton of a third-tier spirit beast. I thought it was something special."
"Even if this item is made of ice-attribute material, it's not some rare toy."
"Ice-attribute spirit beasts are indeed rare, but that's only relative to ordinary people."
"If this is all Manager Wang can offer, then I have no choice but to decline."
Yu Changsheng stood up to leave, but was quickly stopped by Manager Wang.
"Hehe, please wait a moment, young master."
"I never imagined that I had misjudged you. I never expected that you, sir, would have such high standards."
"I will be blind to your greatness and neglect you, Young Master Yu."
"Very well! Since Young Master Yu wishes to see something truly excellent, I can only do my best to accommodate his request. Please wait a moment!"
Manager Wang clapped his hands, signaling his servants to remove the items from the table.
He left briefly, and after a while, he returned with another box.
This box is much more luxurious than the last one, and it's also significantly larger, giving it a rather heavy feel. (End of Chapter)
