In order to avoid suspicion, He Xueyao could not stay outside for long. She left a voice transmission jade pendant and said goodbye to Lin Bai, “If you need anything, you can use this to contact me.” After saying a few more words, He Xueyao then left.
Seeing that it was not too late, Lin Bai summoned his pet beasts to let them out for some fresh air. He then instructed Little Treasure, “Take a look around and see if there are any precious herbs.”
Little Treasure didn’t even need Lin Bai’s instructions. His little nose moved agilely, and then he disappeared without a trace. Lin Bai didn’t know what he smelled, so he followed him.
On the other hand, Little Red seemed to be much better. She would probably be able to recover from her injuries after a few more rounds of cultivation.
[ Ding! ]
[ The host passed on ten days of cultivation to Little Red. ]
[ A hundred times return has been successfully triggered! ]
[ The host has received a thousand days of cultivation! ]
The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to have been pulled by something as it surged towards Lin Bai and Little Red. The spiritual energy gathered together and turned into a milky white fog. From afar, it looked like a pot of thick soup that was still bubbling non-stop.
Occasionally, there would be red light interweaving within it. Those were the newly grown feathers on Little Red’s body. As they appeared, the feathers that had been corroded and damaged by the black fog fell to the ground and were burned into ashes by the flames.
The fine down feathers grew very quickly. There were also black impurities that were expelled from the body which slowly fell down along with the old feathers. However, the speed of the new growth was still not as fast as the speed of decay. In the blink of an eye, there was already a pile of black ashes on the ground.
A gentle breeze blew. At this moment, some parts of Little Red appeared to be a little bald, especially the area above its head. This was because the feathers nearby were particularly fragile and grew extremely slowly. There was only a layer of fur covering it which seemed quite funny.
When Little Green saw this, it laughed so much that its entire body was in an S shape. It writhed on the ground. Little Black’s pea-sized eyes did not show any emotions. Little Red was so angry that it chased after Little Green and pecked it. The two little ones instantly entangled together.
Lin Bai hurriedly came out to comfort it. “It’s okay. Although it’s a little ugly now, it will grow back in the future. Don’t fight anymore. The feathers on your body aren’t firm yet. Be careful not to lose all of them. When that happens, it’ll be too late to regret.”
When Little Red heard this, it was afraid that it would become a bald bird, so it quickly ran to the side. It couldn’t be bothered to tangle with Little Green anymore. Little Treasure also came back eagerly. Looking at its happy expression and even its beard was raised, one could imagine that it had gained quite a lot this time.
A white light flashed, and a lot of herbs immediately appeared on the ground. Lin Bai took a rough look and saw that they were all good things. A hundred-year-old herb could be found in such a short time. Little Treasure’s capability was obvious.
Seeing how Little Treasure looked like he was still not satisfied, Lin Bai could not help but laugh and said, “Alright, let’s call it a day. The things here are just so-so. I’ll bring you to visit some mystic realm some other day. I’m afraid you won’t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life.”
Lin Bai first picked out the herbs that he needed, and sold the rest that he did not need to to the medicine shop. Then, he exchanged some spirit stones and was about to go back when he saw the crowd crowding to the side. It was as if there was something there.
“We have to hurry, or else there won’t be anything good if we’re late.”
“I wonder if we’ll be able to pick up some scraps this time.”
Hearing the discussions from the surrounding people, Lin Bai’s interest was piqued. He followed the crowd and walked over.
It was a temporary platform. It looked a little hasty and sloppy. Most importantly, there were many cages placed beside it. The cages were covered with red cloth, so it was difficult to see what was inside.
However, one could hear the stammering cries of the beasts and the scratching sounds of their claws. It was most likely a demon beast that was being held inside.
Seeing that the crowd had almost gathered, a middle-aged man stood in the middle of the stage. He was thin and small, with a long pointed mouth and monkey cheeks. His eyes were frighteningly big, and he looked like a rat that had turned into a spirit.
“Don’t miss it when you pass by. Everyone, come and take a look. There are all kinds of young demon beasts. There might even be divine beasts. They’re all sold at a low price. If you miss this, there won’t be another opportunity…”
“We have grand sale today. I guarantee that we won’t disappoint everyone. Moreover, the price will be the same as before.”
That person shouted loudly, revealing a golden tooth. It was obvious that he was experienced in selling. Although people knew that his words were exaggerated, how could there be divine beasts, there were still quite a number of people who fell for this trick.
Their appetites were piqued. They looked around and stretched their necks, trying their best to see what was on the stage. Unfortunately, the red silk cover was too tight, so they could not see clearly at all. They could only rely on the sound to determine what kind of demonic beast it was.
“I say, Jin Daya, can you not keep us in suspense? How can we not know what tricks you use. If a divine beast could be obtained, would you still be here? I’You would have already been invited by the City Lord to drink tea.”
Everyone immediately burst into laughter.
When Jin Daya heard him say this, he did not blush. He also laughed out loud and said, “That’s not right. In the past, it’s not like I haven’t produced good stuff. Although it’s not at the level of a divine beast, it’s still not bad.”
This was not wrong. Although Jin Daya’s words were not reliable, the things he sold were occasionally good. However, all the merchants in the world could not escape the word ‘profit’.
They mixed good and bad stuff together to sell.
