Chapter 61: Buying Things in the Demon Realm 4
Hu Sui smiled and squatted in front of Grandmother Fish’s stall. “Old Fish, I’ve brought a little girl to buy something from you today. Little sister, what would you like to buy? Don’t underestimate Old Fish’s goods; they are all top-notch!”
Grandmother Fish’s bright eyes looked at Sang Chu, making her a little fearful, as if under these eyes, her disguise was worthless.
Sang Chu’s palms were sweating, afraid of being discovered as a demon who wasn’t from the demon tribe. But Grandmother Fish smiled kindly at her, “What would you like to buy, little one?”
Sang Chu: “Grandmother Fish, I’d like some seashell lamps or something to illuminate with.”
“Then come and take a look at these.”
As she spoke, she took out many small seashells from a large seashell. There were all sorts of them, and each palm-sized seashell contained a sparkling pearl.
“These are pearl shells, and these pearls are the demon cores of the pearl shells. After failing their tribulation and their physical bodies dying, these demon cores become illumination pearls within the pearl shells. It’s best to soak them in spirit spring water daily to extend their lifespan. Otherwise, these pearl demon cores will lose their luster and be unable to illuminate once they lose their demonic power.”
Demon cores?
Sang Chu looked at Grandmother Fish doubtfully, “Grandmother Fish, what’s the difference between a demon core and a demon bead?”
“There’s not much difference, it’s just that the demon cores of pearl shells have weak demonic power and don’t rank high. The best demon beads belong to the Fox Tribe and Wolf Tribe. Our Sea Tribe’s demon cores are only considered ordinary demon beads among demon beads, not worth much.”
There’s such a thing?
Sang Chu nodded, “Grandmother, how much are these?”
“How many pearl shells do you want?”
Sang Chu calculated roughly, “Grandmother Fish, are these pearl shells expensive? If they’re not expensive, I’ll take about twenty. If they are expensive, I’ll take fewer.”
“They’re not expensive. I have thirty pearl shells in total. If you want them, I’ll give them all to you for one demon bead. However, mermaid pearls are more expensive; one mermaid pearl costs three demon beads.”
Grandmother Fish put the pearl shells into a small water droplet, making Sang Chu’s eyes widen slightly. This water droplet could be used as a cosmic bag?
Then, Grandmother Fish took out three blindingly bright mermaid pearls from another large seashell. “These three are ten-year-old mermaid pearls. Their effect on cultivation is not great, but they are very bright. You want something for illumination, and these are perfect. If you don’t mind the price, I’ll pack them all for you.”
“I don’t mind at all, thank you, Grandmother Fish.”
“You’re welcome. I’ll pack them all for you. I’ll also give you these water spirit grasses for free. When you get back, create a small spirit spring, plant these water spirit grasses, and then put the pearl shells and mermaid pearls in to nurture them. Take them out when you need them, but remember to keep them in spirit spring water, otherwise, they won’t last long.”
Sang Chu nodded repeatedly, “Okay, I understand.”
“Grandmother, what are those things?”
Sang Chu pointed at another strange large seashell. When Grandmother Fish opened it to take out the small water droplet earlier, Sang Chu caught a glimpse. It looked like weapons?
Grandmother Fish smiled and opened the large seashell. “These are all scrap metal salvaged from the deep sea.”
Hu Sui looked and laughed, “Little sister, these are just scrap metal. If you really want a weapon, give all your demon beads to me, and your brother will make sure to find you a suitable weapon!”
Grandmother Fish glanced at Sang Chu, “Does the little one want a weapon?”
“Yes.”
Sang Chu nodded seriously. Grandmother Fish looked at the junk in the large seashell and said, “This is all trash from the deep sea. I was planning to sell it to the Celestial Master’s Mansion after I close my stall. They specifically collect these things there. If you want a weapon, Hu Sui can really help. Forget about these things.”
But Sang Chu’s eyes were fixed on the so-called deep-sea trash. “Grandmother, since you’re going to sell them anyway, why not sell them to me!”
Hu Sui: “What? Are you crazy? What do you want these broken things for?”
Grandmother Fish: “Child, these are truly ruined. Even though they were once divine weapons, once broken, they are broken.”
Sang Chu: “Big Brother Fox, Grandmother Fish, I know you’re doing this for my own good, but I really like these things. Please sell them to me.”
Grandmother Fish hesitated for a moment and said, “Alright, then. Just give me one demon bead for all of them.”
“Yes, yes, thank you, Grandmother.”
Grandmother Fish felt she was taking advantage of Sang Chu and directly gave the large seashell containing the scrap to Sang Chu. But now it was a problem; her space link was full and couldn’t hold any more things.
Seeing Sang Chu’s troubled expression, Grandmother Fish asked with concern, “Child, what’s wrong? If you don’t want them, I can return the demon bead to you.”
Sang Chu: “It’s not that, Grandmother, I do want them, it’s just that I have no place to put them.”
She had thought a few space links would be enough. Who knew that just the soil took up one, and then she added many other things. Now, her space was truly running out.
Hu Sui heard this and laughed, “You little blockhead are really interesting. There’s someone of your kind selling space rings up ahead. Why don’t you just buy one!”
“Space ring?”
Grandmother Fish: “No need, no need. Grandmother will help you store them.”
Saying that, she used another water droplet to store the pile of scrap for Sang Chu. “The space within this water droplet is also quite large. You can use it as you please. There’s no need to spend that unnecessary money buying a space ring.”
Sang Chu watched with her own eyes as Grandmother Fish casually condensed a water droplet and then, with a few operations, it turned into a space artifact!
This is too amazing!
Hu Sui: “Alright, little sister, what else do you want to buy now?”
Sang Chu shook her head. She just wanted to find a place to stay and study the jade bracelet that Tu You had mentioned.
She gave the remaining four thousand-plus demon beads to Hu Sui. “Big Brother Fox, is this enough?”
“I’ll take four thousand. You can use the rest for lodging. Remember, come find me tomorrow, and I’ll bring you a weapon.”
Sang Chu nodded repeatedly, and Hu Sui turned and left.
Grandmother Fish looked at Sang Chu and said, “Little one, this is your first time in the Demon Market, right? If you need lodging, walk towards East Street. Look for a place with a black moon dog head flag. Go in and say you need lodging. The boss there is a ninth-tier Howling Moon Dog. The prices are reasonable and safe, much better than inns outside.”
Sang Chu smiled, “Thank you, Grandmother. I’ll head there now.”
Grandmother Fish waved her hand, “Go ahead.”
After bidding farewell to Grandmother Fish, Sang Chu walked in the direction she indicated. Along the way, Sang Chu kept thinking about her gaze: 【 Little rabbit, don’t you think her gaze and that fox’s gaze at me are a bit strange? Could they have seen through my disguise? 】
Tu You said with a nonchalant expression: 【 Of course. They are all like hidden masters. Your disguise definitely can’t fool them, but they won’t think you’re human. At most, they’ll think you’re a half-demon, half-human hybrid. Anyway, isn’t it good that they’re willing to accommodate you? 】
Hybrid?
Sang Chu gave Tu You a look. Although the word was appropriate here, it sounded unpleasant when spoken!
【 Forget it, as long as you can survive. By the way, that Hu Sui, do you think he can get me a weapon? 】
