Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 134: Wind-Splitting Iron Rod

"In fact, it's not like the world would be at peace just because the Monkey King Sun Wukong was recruited in the battle at Huaguo Mountain."

"Demons are also a race in the Three Realms, and they were also nurtured by heaven and earth."

"There are great monsters in every generation. There are so many monsters in this world that it is impossible to kill them all."

"And the Heavenly Court has been busy exterminating demons all these years."

"For example, the Great Emperor Zhenwu once traveled to the southern continent and the northern continent of Julu, stepping on the Teng Snake and the Divine Turtle, and led the Five Thunder Gods to fight against demons everywhere."

"Most of the big monsters that showed up have been wiped out."

"It's just that the battle at Huaguo Mountain caused a lot of noise and is the most famous."

Through the incident of Heaven's expedition against the Water Ape Sage, Xiao Chen realized everything and thought.

"Hahaha, that water ape senior, I, Old Cow, will go visit him someday."

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King raised his cup, drank it all and laughed.

He was thinking about making friends with the Great Water Ape Sage again.

"Come on, come on, Brother Monkey King, let's have a toast, cheers!"

Seeing that the Monkey King was in high spirits, Xiao Chen just focused on pouring wine into his mouth, hoping to get him drunk and make him go crazy or something, and maybe even show him his Emerald Yin-Yang Lamp for some fun.

"Okay, okay, Brother Niu, Jinjiao, it is my honor to meet two brothers this time."

"Let us drink this cup to its full."

The Monkey King seemed to be a generous person, and he drank everything that was offered to him.

The three demons sat on the ground, ate some candied fruits, pork and mutton, drank wine happily, and talked about some interesting things in the three realms.

Xiao Chen has a small world in his stomach, which can contain a whole world. Even if he drinks a sea of ​​wine, he will not get drunk. It can be said that he is a good weapon to avoid alcohol.

So Xiao Chen just picked up big bowls of wine and drank with the Monkey King. The Monkey King did not refuse and drank happily.

They drank very happily and lasted until late at night.

Seeing that the Monkey King was already a little drunk, Xiao Chen pretended to be drunk as well, and kept shouting:
"Brother Monkey King, you know that I, Jinjiao, am in the business of refining weapons. I like magic weapons the most. I can't help myself when I hear about good treasures."

"I wonder if you could show me your magic weapon?"

"I'm really curious and want to see what kind of powerful treasure it is that can even hurt Yang Jian!"

"This..., Brother Jinjiao."

"To be honest, I have temporarily borrowed my treasure from my brother, the Water Ape Great Sage, to defend against the enemy. I don't have it with me at the moment."

When the Monkey King heard this, his eyes flickered and he spoke with an embarrassed look.

"Borrowed someone?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen naturally refused to believe him, knowing that this was just an excuse from the Monkey King.

Good magic weapons are the life and property of a monster, half of a monster's life. He will always carry them with him wherever he goes and whenever he sleeps. The Water Ape Great Sage is not his biological elder brother, so how could the Monkey King lend him his weapon so easily?

Xiao Chen shook his head and thought to himself, "On the surface, this Monkey King looks like a straightforward person, but in fact, he is also a smart and agile person."

But Xiao Chen could also understand that things like this innate spiritual treasure were like the lifeblood of gods, Buddhas and monsters, and were the last resort.

He and the Monkey King had only met once, so it was normal that he was unwilling to reveal himself in front of him.

If he, Jinjiao, had such a treasure, he would hide it tightly and treat it as his last trump card. How could he easily expose it to an outsider?

"For now, I have no choice but to establish a good relationship with this Monkey King, and then I can work on it slowly in the future."

Xiao Chen sighed in his heart. However, compared to getting the Earth Book from Zhen Yuanzi, getting the Diamond Cutter from Taishang Laojun, and getting the Emerald Light Lamp from the Monkey King, the chances are undoubtedly greater.

"That's a pity. I don't have the chance to see such a treasure today."

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Xiao Chen didn't want to expose him either, so he pretended to be very regretful.

Seeing this, the Monkey King felt a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother Jinjiao, you also know that my brother, the Water Ape Great Sage, is fighting with the Heavenly Court. The war is tense."

"I am in need of a batch of good weapons and magic treasures. I wonder if I can buy some from you?"

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this.

Well, business is coming to your door? That's great!

Speaking of which, since the refining assembly line was put into operation, Silizhai's refining capacity has increased, but business has not kept up. Now, there is a backlog of nearly 10,000 weapons of various types in the warehouse in Yuntaishan.

Although selling weapons is generally okay, it is just like when someone uses a kitchen knife to chop someone, the police will not investigate “who produced this kitchen knife?” It’s the same principle.

What's more, how can those who are in the arms business avoid such things? Naturally, the more chaotic these three realms are, the better.

However, in order to avoid trouble and prevent future risks, no Silizhai logo has ever been engraved on the weapons and magic tools produced. They are all unmarked.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Of course you can. I wonder how many weapons Brother Monkey King needs?"

The Monkey King thought about it and said, "Let's buy 5,000 pieces."

"Five thousand pieces. This is a big customer. One order is equivalent to several months of business for the store now."

Xiao Chen exclaimed in his heart, and then said with a smile:

"Since it is Brother Monkey King who has spoken, I will naturally give him a big discount based on his reputation."

"I also hope that Brother Monkey King can say something good for my Silizhai in the demon world of Southern Jambu Continent and help me attract more business."

"Of course. If there is another war in the demon world of Southern Continent, I will tell them to come to Brother Jinjiao to purchase weapons."

The Monkey King also bowed and smiled.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen discussed details such as weapon style and delivery time with the Monkey King.

When Bull Demon King heard about Xiao Chen's deal worth nearly 700,000 or 800,000 taels of gold, he was also a little surprised.

"I've only been out playing for a few years, and in the blink of an eye, Brother Jinjiao's weapon refining business has grown so big?"

The Bull Demon King knew that his brother the Golden Horned One was in the weapon refining business, but he didn't know the scale of his force. Now it seems that he must be making a lot of money.

In fact, he mainly spends his days visiting relatives and friends, making friends with good brothers, attending banquets, chatting with monsters, enjoying singing and dancing, tasting delicious food... and practicing martial arts and calligraphy.

He didn't have to run any business. He mainly relied on his foxy sister's millions of assets and lived off her.

But is this the life of living off a gigolo? Sometimes, the Bull Demon King could not help but be annoyed by the Jade-faced Fox. He would get a few words from her, which made him feel unhappy, but he could only endure it.

After completing the weapons business negotiation with the Monkey King.

Xiao Chen glanced at the dark blue stick behind the Monkey King.

Xiao Chen was a shameless man. He thought that he had not copied the Cuiguang Liangyi Lantern, but he certainly could not let go of the Monkey King's weapon.

So Xiao Chen was not afraid of rejection and said, "I wonder what kind of weapon the long stick behind Brother Monkey King is. It looks extraordinary. Would you like to play with it with me?"

The Monkey King had already declined Xiao Chen's request to see the magic weapon, so he couldn't refuse now. So he picked up the dark green stick and explained with a smile:
"This is a magical treasure I got by chance. It's called the Wind-Splitting Iron Rod. It's very fast to wield and has the ability to break the wind. One strike of the rod is like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves."
