1306 Snatching Someone’s Cherished Items (1/2)
Walking slowly along the Dark Court's corridor, Tang Xiu's eyes constantly swept across the stalls on both sides. His spiritual sense even enveloped all the surrounding areas, observing the items on the stalls and independent shops. He did find some Demon Stones, but after seeing the things here, he immediately realized that there were better items than Demon Stones for him, such as Demon Cores and Demon Essences.
Aside from that, there were still a lot of demon fruits. The one that amazed Tang Xiu the most was that some people were bold enough to sell demon pills.
It must be noted that anything that came from the Demon Realm had always been shunned and rejected by orthodox Immortals. Even some people with a sense of justice forcibly killed people who sold such items from the Demon Realm.
Tang Xiu himself did not go to such extremes. In his view, there were many good things in the Demon Realm. If those objects could be used reasonably, the effect would be much better than its counterpart in the Immortal World.
Festoon Dragonfly followed Tang Xiu all the time. Although he greeted the stall and shop owners, his eyes lingered on Tang Xiu most of the time. After strolling for some kilometers, the fella finally couldn't help but ask, ”Do you have some stalls or shops in mind now, Sire? If you're still considering it, I suggest you go to the shop of the Great Demon Venerable. The price of goods there may be very expensive, but that shop has the most comprehensive and the best goods you can find here.”
”Take us there, then,” said Tang Xiu.
”At your wish, Sire.”
Dragonfly then led Tang Xiu and the rest to walk for some hundreds of meters again before he finally stopped outside an independent shop. His eyes glanced at the man at the shop's door and then cried out, ”Yow, Hairy Tooth guy, you gotta spare me your parlor tricky cheat here. I brought you a distinguished patron, so you gotta quickly send a notice to Sir Demon to welcome them, got it?”
The guy rolled his eyes at him before glancing at everyone in Tang Xiu's group. Then, he slowly shouted to the interior, ”Hey, Eighteenth Uncle, you got some patrons. Quickly come out and greet 'em!”
A short while after, as Tang Xiu and the rest entered the shop, they saw a fat middle-aged man that looked like a ball of meat lackadaisically came out. One of his eyes opened ever so slightly and swept Tang Xiu and the rest. Then, he asked with a smile, ”What would you like to buy, patrons?”
Tang Xiu withdrew his spiritual sense because at the moment, they were not the only patrons in the shop, so he replied, ”Demon Stones, Demon Essences, demon fruits, demon liquid. Certainly, if you have some good-grade demon pills, I want them too.”
”Big client!”
Great Demon Venerable was surprised and grinned. ”Dear Patron, everything you need can be found in this shop. You can go get them directly and we'll just sum up the total price. Of course, I'll give you a discount if you buy in bulk.”
”Alrighty!”
Tang Xiu took the interspatial ring from Great Demon Venerable and then walked through the shelves. Then, he put the pieces of Demon Stones, Demon Essences, demon fruits and demon liquids into the ring. Everything was already marked with a price tag, so Tang Xiu knew their value.
Finally, Tang Xiu stopped in the innermost corner, looking at the dozens of bottles and jars placed on the shelves. A glint flashed in his eyes as he put all the demon pills on it into the ring. Just as he was about to leave the spot, five figures suddenly blocked his path.
”You don't have to sweep out everything here no matter how rich you are, do you, Sir? I really need that Miasma Poison Pill. I've been looking for it in many places before I saw it here. How about I pay you double the price for it?” said a burly man indifferently.
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, ”Sorry, first come first serve. Whoever buys it first will get it. This Poison Miasma Pill also has a great effect on me, so I can't exchange it with you.”
A cold light flashed in the burly man's eyes and he indifferently said again, ”You haven't paid it yet, have you?”
”Not yet, indeed.” Tang Xiu nodded.
”Since you haven't paid it, it's not yours and still the shop's and subject of bargain to the highest bidder in nature,” the burly man said. ”I don't want to bother to deal with you, so let's compare our wealth and see who can afford a higher price. How about it?”
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, ”I already put it in the ring, which means that I have the right to purchase it first. You will never get it unless I give it up.”
”Are you looking for death, Brat?! You must take it out if our Young Master wants it. Else I'll drive you out of the Green Summit Bazaar!” an old man behind the burly man expelled out a strong killing intent that was visible on his face as he shouted.
Tang Xiu shot him an indifferent glance. His eyes then shifted on the burly man's face and lightly said, ”Did what he say is what's in your mind as well?”
The burly man didn't speak, but his cold eyes showed his attitude.
