“Attendant Student, could you come here for a moment!”

Qin Niu called over the bookstore’s assistant.

Here, one-on-one service was provided, so any customer interested in purchasing any Cultivation Technique secret manual could call over an Attendant Student at any time to inquire.

“Esteemed guest, would you like to purchase this Insect Control Technique?”

The one who came over was still the same Attendant Student who had served him last time.

His attitude toward Qin Niu was noticeably more respectful. You can’t judge a book by its cover; this young man just bought a Cultivation Technique worth five Silver Money.

For a rich young master, five Silver Money is merely a month’s pocket money.

But for a poor country person, five Silver Money might take five or six years to save, or even longer.

The young man didn’t even blink when paying, leaving a deep impression on the Attendant Student.

“Is Green Demon someone’s nickname?”

“Please wait a moment, I will ask the Appraiser.”

The Attendant Student, with limited knowledge, obviously didn’t know either.

Larger bookstores all have their own Appraisers; often the owner would act as one. If any Cultivation Technique acquired turned out to be a Fake Cultivation Technique, the consequences would be very serious.

The scale of the Supreme Ocean was so large, there should be more than one Appraiser.

After all, there are multiple fields in Cultivation Technique secret manuals, and many Appraisers only specialize in one field.

For example, an Appraiser responsible for evaluating Cultivation Techniques might not be very good at plant cultivation techniques.

The Attendant Student quickly returned, accompanied by a thin, long-bearded elder. He wore a green robe adorned with the embroidered badge of the Supreme Ocean and the Appraiser’s badge on his chest.

He obviously seemed much senior to the Attendant Student.

“Esteemed guest, this is Master Liu, our Supreme Ocean’s Appraiser specializing in Insect Control and plant cultivation techniques. You may directly consult with Master Liu about any questions you have.”

The Attendant Student introduced the identity of the thin elder.

“Master, good to see you. May I ask if you know the origin of the Green Demon’s bee breeding scripture?”

Master Liu stroked his beard and spoke in a clear voice, “Of course. All cultivation and insect control techniques pass through my evaluation to ensure there are no issues before they are put up for sale. Green Demon is an infamous Insect Master. In his early years, his parents died, leaving only him and his three-year-old sister. The brother and sister, young and without support, suffered under the bullying of the local villagers. His own uncle, in an attempt to seize the family’s property, bullied him the most.

Green Demon was often locked in the backyard by his aunt, who wouldn’t give him food until he had chopped three loads of firewood.

His sister was required to wash clothes and learn embroidery, earning money for her aunt’s household.

Whenever Green Demon was tired from chopping wood, his greatest pleasure was to observe the insects in dark corners and the wasps flying into the backyard to build their nests.

One time, his aunt’s family lost a silver bracelet, and Green Demon also disappeared for five days. Perhaps because his sister was still in his aunt’s hands, Green Demon came back on the sixth day.

His uncle and aunt hung him from a beam and tortured him to find out where the silver bracelet had gone, but he just clenched his teeth and kept silent.

Later on, it was said that Green Demon often talked to the wasps, and his aunt’s family thought the child had gone mad.

Green Demon soon turned fifteen, and his sister was thirteen, growing up quite pretty.

People began to come forward with marriage proposals.

Since their parents had died, the brother and sister were tightly controlled by their uncle and aunt’s family.

For fifty Silver Money, his aunt actually sold Green Demon’s sister to a family for a ghost marriage—a most vicious type of marriage, where a living person is wedded to a deceased, followed by a burial alive.

As it was a ghost marriage, the wedding took place at Midnight.

However, when the groom’s side came to pick up the bride, they discovered that Green Demon’s uncle’s family of five had all died violently. Their bodies covered with large swollen bumps oozing pus from the wounds, it was terribly gruesome.

Only Green Demon and his sister were missing.
