CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 49: THE DEAL!

"Unfortunately, I didn’t see anyone selling Entering Strength Pills."

After circling twice, Jiang Shi’s brows furrowed tightly.

Have Entering Strength Pills really become forbidden items?

Or is it that not everyone has arrived yet, and we need to wait a little longer?

Thinking carefully, he directly found a place and began to wait.

Some more time passed, and the sun finally set completely, with torches being lit in the square.

The disciples of the Luoxia Sword Sect directly began closing the gates, bringing three unusually thick pillars to brace the door from behind.

This meant the time had come, and those who arrived late could no longer enter.

Jiang Shi got up from the ground, pondering in his heart.

"Perhaps some people have Entering Strength Pills on them but are afraid to take them out easily."

He finally directly took out the demon beast bones, heart, and gallbladder he had prepared from his package and placed them on the ground, waiting for someone to show interest.

The faint bloody smell had just spread when it immediately attracted the attention of many figures from the martial arts world present.

Many martial arts world figures, who were setting up stalls or wandering around, showed unusual interest and turned back to look.

"Is that..."

"What is that?"

Soon, people quickly gathered over.

"Little brother, what are you selling? Why does it look like the innards of a demon beast to me?"

A middle-aged man showed surprise and suspicion, staring at the large demon beast heart.

The whole heart exuded an invisible fierce qi, which even when removed, still gave a haunting feeling, as if facing an unknown beast.

"That’s right, this is the heart of a demon beast, and next to it are the gallbladder and bones. I’m only exchanging them for Entering Strength Pills, and also for some silver notes."

Jiang Shi spoke calmly.

Hiss!

Suddenly, there was a chorus of stunned gasps from around.

All the martial arts world figures who had gathered were shocked, looking at the stall.

Are these things really from a demon beast?

"Little brother, where did you get these things?"

The middle-aged man’s eyes flickered as he looked at the gallbladder and heart on the ground, asking.

"If you’re buying, then buy; if not, don’t ask!"

Jiang Shi furrowed his brows and said.

"Little brother, even in business, this isn’t how you do it, right? If you tell me about the origin of these things, maybe I’ll buy them?"

The middle-aged man said with a half-smile.

"Yeah, little brother, where did you get these from?"

"Tell us, will you? Entering Strength Pills are very rare right now, who would still have them?"

"Exactly!"

Others chimed in.

More and more people quickly gathered from all directions.

"Dad, it’s so lively over there!"

The Cyan Mountain Fairy, Zhao Feiyan, with two shallow dimples, her eyes brightened, looked ahead.

"It looks like there might be some good things, let’s go take a look."

The middle-aged man, Throat-lock Hand Zhao Houcai, said.

He came here mainly to let his disciples and daughter see the world; whether to buy or not was secondary.

"Brother Zhao, is that Brother Zhao..."

Suddenly, a cheerful voice sounded from not far away.

Zhao Houcai showed doubt, turned back to look, and his eyes lit up.

A middle-aged man in a yellow long robe with a full beard, looking delighted, walked quickly toward him.

"It turns out to be Brother Xu, what a pleasure to meet you."

Zhao Houcai showed joy and walked over quickly.

Zhao Feiyan and Shangguan Yun followed, showing doubt.

Zhao Houcai immediately introduced, "This is your Uncle Xu, nicknamed the Monument Breaker, Xu Kai."

"Greetings, Uncle Xu!"

The two children immediately saluted sincerely, feeling secretly shocked.

The Monument Breaker, Xu Kai, had the strength of the Ninth Level of Entering Strength, once mighty in Fengzhou, killing four evildoers with two palms, renowned at the time.

It turned out to be this hero.

"These are your talented disciple and daughter, right? They’ve grown so fast!"

Xu Kai, dressed in a yellow robe, smiled and praised Shangguan Yun and Zhao Feiyan before suddenly saying again, "Brother Zhao, besides me, several other friends are here too. Come, I’ll take you to meet them."

He looked delighted, pulling Zhao Houcai to leave.

Zhao Houcai showed hesitation, then glanced at Zhao Feiyan and Shangguan Yun, "You go enjoy the commotion first, I’ll come find you later."

"Yes, Dad (Master)!"

The two children immediately replied honestly.

Xu Kai was about to lead Zhao Houcai away when suddenly his steps paused, showing hesitation, and he noticed Jiang Shi there.

"Why are so many people gathered over there?"

"I’m not sure, maybe there’s something good."

Zhao Houcai smiled.

"Oh? Then let’s go take a look first, come on, let’s go see!"

Xu Kai laughed.

The two of them directly led Shangguan Yun and the two children over.

But as they just squeezed into the crowd and approached Jiang Shi’s stall, Xu Kai’s face suddenly froze with shock, feeling familiar. Then his expression changed dramatically, as if he’d seen a ghost, quickly retreating, stumbling over seven or eight steps, causing others to stagger.

"Brother Xu, what’s wrong?"

Zhao Houcai looked puzzled, quickly turning back.

The surrounding Shangguan Yun and Zhao Feiyan were also full of curiosity.

Xu Kai’s face broke out in large beads of sweat, uncontrollably sliding rapidly, his complexion pale. He quickly turned to leave, saying, "It’s nothing, Brother Zhao, I suddenly remembered I have urgent matters, I have to go!"

He quickly ran into the distance, a turmoil of shock inside.

It’s him!

It’s that skeletal, sickly-looking young man!

How is this possible?

Although the other dressed simply in disguise, that strange appearance and signature Wolf Fang Club were instantly recognizable.

Back when they ambushed Lu Chengtian, they happened to encounter him, resulting in significant losses from his few strikes, fleeing in disarray.

"I can’t, I have to report to Sect Leader Zhao quickly!"

His heart pounded in terror, acting quickly.

This young man actually walked right into their trap; under no circumstances should they let him leave.

Zhao Houcai, Shangguan Yun and the others were even more confused.

What is Xu Kai doing?

He was just talking and laughing, now suddenly something’s come up?

Jiang Shi, surrounded tight by the crowd, couldn’t help but feel a wave of irritation, suddenly shouting fiercely like thunder, shaking the surroundings.

"Enough! Buy if you want, if not, stop whining!"

The massive voice directly made everyone’s eardrums ache, buzzing. When they looked again at Jiang Shi, they all showed surprise.

This kid...

What formidable strength!

"I’ve said earlier that I’m only exchanging for Entering Strength Pills and silver notes, nothing else!"

Jiang Shi said coldly.

"Dad, it’s him, it seems to be that little brother from earlier!"

Suddenly, Zhao Feiyan showed surprise, recognizing Jiang Shi’s voice, quickly squeezing forward.

Shangguan Yun beside her also squeezed through quickly, filled with disbelief.

How could this be?

Just a similar voice?

"Little brother, do you want to exchange for Entering Strength Pills? I do have some. I’ll trade you this demon beast heart for eight Entering Strength Pills, how about it?"

Another middle-aged man couldn’t help but speak.

"Eight? You must be dreaming!"

Jiang Shi glanced sideways at him.

"You..."

The middle-aged man was speechless, saying, "Then how many do you want!"

"At least thirty!"

Jiang Shi said coldly.

"Thirty? That’s way too expensive, who can carry that many?"

"Exactly, little brother, this isn’t realistic. Even exhausting a whole sect wouldn’t have that many!"

"Who would carry all their belongings with them?"

Everyone started clamorously arguing.

Jiang Shi furrowed his brows, saying, "Then twenty, that’s the lowest, can’t go any lower."

"Little brother, it’s really you!"

Zhao Feiyan finally squeezed through, her eyes shining, speaking happily.

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

Jiang Shi said plainly.

Beside him, Throat-lock Hand Zhao Houcai was also shocked, incredulous, looking at Jiang Shi squarely for the first time.

This kid...

Selling demon beast innards?
