There are many races of creatures in the ancient world, each with their own strengths and needs. Due to fate and chance, there will always be demon cultivators who get something that is useless to them but precious. At this time, the idea of exchange arises. .
Over time, transactions were formed, and the place where demon cultivators traded naturally formed a name, Demon City.
In today's prehistoric land, whenever a big demon builds a mansion, establishes a cave, and occupies a mountain as king, a demon market will be established for the surrounding demon cultivators to trade. This is a win-win situation.
Such a location is not difficult to find out if you pay a little attention.
If we say that the biggest force on the Green Water River is the Green Water River Mansion of the Tiger Dragon King, the Tiger Dragon King’s cultivation is at the peak of the immortal realm, and he has the endorsement of the Dragon Clan, so all the demon cultivators in the 100,000-mile stretch of the Green Water River will bow to him. , even the thousands of miles of land on both sides of the Green Water River are within the scope of the Tiger Dragon King's influence.
Controlling trade means controlling Qi training resources. Naturally, the demon market in the Green Water River Basin is in the hands of the Tiger King, and its location is built ten miles downstream of the Green Water River Mansion.
Entering the Green Water River again, Zhan Yu didn't need to cover up, he directly revealed his Yuan Chan demon body and dived into the water.
It can be said that the Seven-Star Yuan Chan is also a heterogeneous species in the Toad family. It is an amphibious monster after all. However, Zhan Yu did not like to move in the water after growing limbs. The root cause is that the tadpole body hid in the water for three years. Tibet has experienced too many dangers, which have cast a shadow.
Now that his strength has improved, this shadow has dissipated a little.
The dragon clan's forces are different from ordinary monster forces. They are very tightly guarded and are not comparable to ordinary forces. Whenever they enter the waters of the Green Water River, they will inevitably encounter the water patrol guards of the Green Water River Mansion.
"stop!"
Just a moment after Zhan Yu entered the river, he heard a cry of peace. He turned around and saw a group of water patrol demon soldiers coming from the water. A closer look showed that the demon leading the group was the crab pioneer that he met more than a month ago.
Fate, wonderful beyond words.
"Why did the demon cultivator in front come to my Green Water River Mansion?"
Zhan Yu pursed his lips, a friendly smile appeared on his sallow toad face, and he quickly clasped his fists and said: "Crab Pioneer is busy with business, I'm afraid he has forgotten the little demon, we met before Yue Yu."
Hearing this, the red-faced and buck-toothed Crab Pioneer lowered his eyes and took a closer look at the yellow-faced monster, and suddenly said: "That day when King Tiger Jiao taught the Dharma Assembly, you were here!"
"It's the little demon."
Seeing that the Crab Pioneer recognized him, Zhan Yu took a step forward and said: "The little demon is here this time because he heard that the demon market in Green Water River Mansion is prosperous and treasures are flowing out from time to time. He wants to come and experience it in exchange for some money to practice his Qi. "
"It turns out you came to our Green Water Demon City, so this matter can be easily handled."
Crab Xianfeng knew in his heart that there were many demon cultivators coming to Green Water Demon City every day, which was normal, so he continued: "Although you and I are acquainted, Green Water River Mansion has its own rules, which cannot be exceeded, and you must abide by them. work."
"That's how it should be." Zhan Yu agreed.
Seeing the humble attitude of the yellow-faced demon cultivator, Crab Pioneer nodded with satisfaction and sighed: "If all the demon cultivators in the Green Water River Basin are as sensible as you, then our patrol mission will be easy."
According to Crab Pioneer, there are many unruly people in the Green Water River monsters.
Crab Pioneer just said casually, turned to look behind him and said: "Guard Crab, take this demon cultivator to the demon market."
But it was said that Zhan Yu and the crab pioneer met again, and then left in a hurry, and followed the shrimp guard to the Green Water Demon City, walking along the water, like walking on the highway, extremely fast.
After all, the scenery in the water is different from the scenery on the shore. I can only see swaying water plants, swimming colorful scales, strange rocks and jade, and water patrol guards passing through it. It is a dream-like scene.
But what Zhan Yu saw in his eyes was a turbulent undercurrent. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. Hidden under this fantastic scene is a tight food chain.
The shrimp guard was quite talkative along the way, talking about many things to note, and also letting Zhan Yu know some things near the Green Water River.
For example, there are several generals under the Tiger Dragon King who have great strength and different tempers and should not be provoked. They are the one-horned water rhinoceros, the pig-footed dragon, the black turtle, the purple eel, the black catfish, and the yellow loach.
Another example is that there is a high mountain three thousand miles south of the Green Water River, called Tiger Mountain. The mountain is named Tiger because there is a powerful tiger demon in the mountain. It is said that this tiger demon is good at controlling ghosts and is extremely vicious. Behind it stands a unicorn. Clan, the strength is comparable to that of the Tiger Dragon King.
All this was just chatting, the two demons soon arrived at their destination, and the green water demon city came into view.
It turns out that this demon city was built on a reef area. The reefs are scattered randomly, but they appear in a faint formation. Sometimes there are flashes of light. There are dense aquatic plants on the reef, and there are crabs and shells living on the grass, showing full of vitality.
There is a large hall among the rocks. Strictly speaking, this hall should be called a pavilion, because there are no four walls under the canopy. Only rocks fill it, dividing the space inside the pavilion into areas. In each area, there are demon cultivators showing off their skills. Treasures in exchange for what you need.
This is the Green Water Demon City!
"please!"
The shrimp guard stretched out one hand, indicating to Zhan Yu that the demon market was in front of him.
When they arrived here, the shrimp guard had completed the Crab Pioneer's instructions, and his intention to leave was obvious. When Zhan Yu saw this, he quickly said: "Thank you guard for your hard work in leading the way."
After the guard said a polite word, he turned back to resume his duties. Zhan Yu turned around and walked into the demon market.
Taking advantage of the excitement, Zhan Yu didn't have a particularly strong purpose, so he wandered around the demon market casually, looking at, listening to, and asking questions about everything, which could be regarded as increasing his knowledge.
There are many demon cultivators with the same purpose as Zhan Yu in this demon market. They pass by and may nod, but there is no noise. This is different from the shore.
After swimming around, Zhan Yu discovered that there are indeed many treasures in this demon city. Thousand-year-old dark wood and ten-thousand-year-old purple coral can be seen. Of course, the most common ones are sand, stones, beads, jade and the like that contain spirituality. .
Zhan Yu stopped in front of a stall. The stall owner was a catfish demon with a fat body and two fish tentacles swinging flexibly at the corners of his mouth. He was closing his eyes.
There was a green and black stone slab in front of the catfish demon. The stone slab was picked up casually. There were many pits on it. There was a brocade box on the slab. There were shining orbs in the box, and the spiritual light was flowing.
Zhan Yu was looking for some Five Elements spiritual materials. The orb in front of him was a water-attributed treasure, so he knelt down and asked, "This bead of yours looks good, it should be a clam bead, right?"
"This is a ten-thousand-year-old clam bead." The catfish demon opened his eyelids and replied casually.
Compared with the human spirits in the market in the previous life, most of the monsters in the ancient world were not good at talking, and sometimes they seemed to be perfunctory.
I don't blame the catfish demon for being perfunctory. In fact, several waves of demon cultivators have come to inquire before, but they can't come up with anything of equal value.
Perhaps because he was afraid that the demon cultivator in front of him was ignorant, the catfish demon added another sentence: "The thirty-six spirit beads are produced from the same old clam. They have sufficient spirituality and are self-contained. They are an excellent material for refining treasures."
Zhan Yu looked at the clam bead carefully and suddenly thought that since the bead was produced by an old clam, it should have a clam shell. The shell of a thousand-year-old clam is extremely hard and difficult to be damaged by ordinary swords. It is also a treasure, so he asked: "You clam?" Pearls are indeed full of spirituality, but I wonder if they have clam shells?"
When the catfish demon heard this, he also knew that the demon in front of him was a wise man. He immediately cheered up, rolled his eyes, and said: "Of course this old clam has a clam shell, but it is already used by me. There is no transaction. Today I will only talk about this. Orb, if you have a treasure to exchange, you might as well take it out and see if it is worth my orb, and we can continue to talk in detail, otherwise it will be in vain, why don't I close my eyes and rest."
Zhan Yu knew that he had to show his strength, otherwise he would be looked down upon by this catfish monster for nothing. He was afraid that he would just treat himself as a spectator who was just enjoying his life, and would not waste any more time.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you look down on it, but who liked all kinds of beads in his previous life?
Zhan Yu said: "This pair of sharp claws of mine was obtained by killing the crane monster in the Yuanshen realm. What do you think?"
As soon as he took out the crane claws, a fierce aura hit his face. The catfish demon narrowed his eyes subconsciously and was overwhelmed by the aura. He leaned back. At this time, several nearby stall owners were also attracted by the aura of the crane demon's claws. , looked over.
After all, most of the people in this demon city are water demons, who are naturally hostile to the crane demon. In other words, the crane demon is the water demon's natural enemy, so the aura of the crane demon's claws really makes the water demon sect uncomfortable.
But on the other hand, if the water demon had a magic weapon made from the crane demon's claws, it would be very demonic!
The catfish demon realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly adjusted his body shape. Seeing that many demon cultivators were already looking at the crane claw, they said eagerly: "This crane claw can be exchanged for orbs!"
Zhan Yu Youran retracted the crane claw, knowing that he was taking the initiative at this moment, and said calmly: "My crane claws are in pairs, and I killed the crane demon in the Yuanshen realm. You also know how powerful the crane demon is, but You, an old clam, only have clam pearls and no clam shells left behind, and besides, these clam pearls are probably less than ten thousand years old, maybe only about three thousand years old at most."
Hearing the song and knowing the elegant meaning, how could the catfish demon not understand the implication of the customer in front of him? He knew that the clam pearls exchanged for crane claws were probably not worth enough. After all, these claws were from a crane demon who had been killed in the Yuanshen realm. Their texture was like gold and iron. With a little bit of sacrifice, it becomes a sharp magic weapon.
At the same time, the catfish demon also gained a hint of respect. Being able to kill the Yuanshen realm crane demon, which was famous for its speed, showed that the yellow-faced demon cultivator in front of him was also the best among the Yuanshen realm demon cultivators.
But no matter what, since the other party stopped asking, he must have taken a fancy to his clam bead. The catfish demon showed his face and praised: "Your Majesty, you have good eyesight. Although my clam bead is only three thousand years old, it is full of spiritual power and can be compared with other years." Ten thousand years, I am not lying."
"I don't dare to be a king. I'm just an ordinary demon cultivator." Zhan Yuna may have been deceived by false words.
The catfish monster looked at Zhan Yu's left hand and saw other monsters coming over. Apparently he wanted to watch the fun and said quickly: "Everyone, King Tiger Dragon has some rules. If this guy doesn't leave my place, , you can’t take action!”
"You old catfish is really petty. Why didn't you allow your old friends to take a look at the treasure today..."
"What the old carp said is true. This old catfish is very lucky. He met a good treasure. But he is a little too small-minded. They are all old acquaintances. Could it be that he is worried that we have broken the rules..."
"However, compared with the clam beads of old catfish and the crane claws, they are so bright and dim..."
"You old catfish, hurry up and make up your mind. If you don't accept this treasure, I will take action..."
The companions are indeed enemies. The catfish demon often goes in and out of the green water demon city, and he also gets acquainted with some demon cultivators in the green water river. Today, when I see these old acquaintances, you talk to each other, flattering each other, and clearly there is a demon. He felt jealous and knew that he was afraid that he would reveal his family fortune today.
The catfish demon was also decisive. He knew that once the yellow-faced toad demon in front of him moved, it would be difficult to obtain the crane claw, so he said: "I have made the clam shell into a protective treasure. I'm afraid I can't trade it with the king. , I also have a treasure, please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
As he said that, the catfish demon took out a small brocade box from behind. The lid of the box was lifted slightly, and a red and blue lotus lay quietly in it, covered with extraordinary colors and surrounded by spiritual fragrance.
Zhan Yu saw that this flower was very strange, but he didn't know its use, so he asked: "This lotus flower has twins in one body, which is very strange. I don't know what it does?"
As soon as he said these words, the catfish demon became more forceful when he spoke: "The name of this flower is called water and fire lotus. They are twins in one body. This red lotus contains the power of fire spirit, and the blue lotus contains the power of water spirit. Taking it can make the demon's body blend with water and fire. Reconciling yin and yang, purifying blood, and maybe awakening magical powers, it is a rare treasure in the world."
The catfish demon continued: "Your Majesty, you must have noticed that there are mostly treasure-refining spiritual materials in this demon market, but there are few spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses. This is all because if you have such treasures, you will swallow them yourself and will not take them out at all." Change, so the king is also lucky today to see this wonderful thing!"
Zhan Yu traveled throughout the wilderness, not only with the blessing of Dharma Eyes, but also with the most basic eyesight. He could tell that the water and fire lily was a spiritual flower, but after hearing the boast of the catfish demon, he felt doubts in his heart. Then he asked:
"This water and fire lily is so magical, why are you trading it? Why not swallow it yourself?"
"Your Majesty, this is the key point!"
The catfish demon praised it and explained: "Although this flower is magical, it is only effective for the first time. I have swallowed it once. It is useless to eat more. I saw the king's extraordinary magnanimity today, so I gave it in exchange."
"but……"
The catfish demon suddenly changed his words and said: "If your Majesty wants to get this spirit flower orb, you must allow me a few drops of the crane demon's essence and blood."
Zhan Yu also had a deep understanding of the scarcity of spiritual flowers and spiritual grass. If he got such a treasure, he would probably swallow it himself, so he asked: "How many drops do you want?"
"Nine drops."
"No, I can only give you three drops!"
"You and I each take a step back, no more eight drops!"
"Four drops!"
"Your Majesty, your cultivation is as high as the sea, why waste your time talking about this drop of essence and blood, seven drops!"
"Five drops, this essence and blood of the demon cultivator in the Yuan Shen realm is very precious. I also need to swallow it. There are only five drops of essence and blood left. I will give them all to you. If you can't exchange them, I'm afraid this spirit flower orb will never be with me!" Zhan Yu used his special bargaining skills in his previous life and prepared to leave.
The catfish demon gritted his teeth with difficulty and said distressedly: "Okay, five drops is five drops. Today, I, old catfish, will make a deal at a discount."
Zhan Yu put down the crane demon's claws and blood essence, and took the other party's orb spirit flower. From then on, the deal was concluded and would not be returned or exchanged.
The old catfish got the sharp claws and blood essence of the crane demon in the Yuanshen realm, and he was very happy, so he said goodbye and left.
