Chapter 301: Business
Ling Shuai harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Demon Clan, having witnessed the brutal death of his beloved Dao Companion at the hands of the Demon Clan.
In the past, due to Ling Xue's tender age and fragile health, his main goal was to raise his daughter to adulthood, leaving him with little room for distraction.
Although many years had passed, his hatred for the Demon Clan had not waned in the slightest.
This time, with the opportunity at hand, he naturally couldn't let such a golden chance slip by.Updated chapters at novelhall.com
Wang Hong agreed to his request and assigned several Foundation Building cultivators brought by Ling Shuai to assist him.
Sending Ling Shuai alone to hunt down lurking Demonic Beasts would be too risky, and it would be challenging to eliminate them all in one go.
After Ling Shuai's departure, Wang Hong handed over a large batch of pills to Luo Yuxuan.
Most of the shops in the marketplace had already been rented out, and Wang Hong was still running the largest one.
This particular shop had a wide variety of goods, surpassing many of the smaller neighboring stores in quality and selection.
However, it had always lacked a flagship product that could leave a lasting impression on customers.
Ever since the Heishi Valley had eliminated the lurking Demonic Beasts, Luo Yuxuan, the manager of Heishi Valley Marketplace, made an announcement.
Given the current rampant Demon Clan activities and the need to help Qi Cultivation cultivators grow quickly to face future crises, he was willing to use the Pills accumulated over many years by Wang Hong to hold an auction, selling these Pills to cultivators who truly needed them.
Among the Pills to be auctioned, many were rare treasures that were not typically available, and it was rumored that even top-quality Pills would be part of the auction.
This news had many cultivators eager to get a piece of the action.
The auction was scheduled to take place in one month at an open area within the Heishi Valley Marketplace, and anyone, without any additional conditions, could participate.
This auction aimed to genuinely benefit low-tier cultivators.
With the guidance of those in the know, the news spread quickly throughout the surrounding areas.
In fact, hiring a few low-tier loose cultivators to spread the news didn't cost much in terms of Spirit Stones.
Luo Yuxuan's actions earned him praise from the nearby cultivators.
Gu Wei had only been with Wang Hong and Luo Yuxuan for nearly two years, and his combat experience had increased, but in other aspects, he was still the same.
He felt disappointed that his father had assigned him here while he went to the Eastern Sea battlefield. Gu Wei believed that he should be on the front lines, slaying Demonic Beasts like cutting vegetables, which was what he aspired to do.
Gu Wei had spent these two years with Luo Yuxuan and Wang Hong, and his combat experience had increased a bit, but in most other aspects, he remained the same.
This was likely the reason why Gu Qingyang didn't dare to send him to the front lines to fight the Demon Clan.
After returning to his cave mansion, Wang Hong activated the formation in his Cultivation Room.
Then he entered his personal Space, which was now filled with millennia-old Spiritual Herbs.
Millennia-old Spiritual Herbs were now suitable for Golden Core stage cultivators to use as third-tier Spiritual Herbs. Unfortunately, his own cultivation level was too low to casually use them.
He could only occasionally use one, but due to his insufficient strength, there was a long interval between each use.
The three-tier Ink Jade Spirit Lotus that he had planted years ago had now spread throughout the entire pond, covered in blooming lotus flowers.
The silver-colored small fish he had once raised in the pond, which had originally been no more than three inches long, had grown into fish over a foot long. Some of them had even mutated, possessing the strength of a first-tier Demonic Beast.
As a result, the original small fish in the pond had become their food source. Fortunately, these small fish reproduced quickly, preventing extinction.
Wang Hong scooped out two silver fish that were over a foot long. These mutated silver fish had a more delicious taste compared to the original ones, but they had a very slow reproductive rate, so he had refrained from eating too many.
Then he returned to his Space, placing them next to the "Mountain of Liquor," which had piled up over the years.
The low-tier Spirit Wine in his Space had maintained its original quantity thanks to sales in several stores over the years.
Meanwhile, Spirit Wines of tier two and higher were accumulating more and more. Many second-tier Spirit Wines had aged for two thousand years in his Space.
Now, he even had quite a few third-tier Spirit Wines, including Dragon Scale Fruit Wine, Jade Ginseng Fruit Wine, and Ink Jade Lotus Flower Wine.
If Golden Core stage cultivators found out, he'd probably be bombarded to smithereens.
