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

Chapter 84: Silizhai Opens

The first batch of weapons and magic treasures absorbed by Xiao Chen are currently just experiments by Silizhai.

The Taoist children taken in by the three immortals Huli were not very proficient in the art of refining weapons, and most of the materials were wasted.

In the end, the three Huli immortals spent more than a month and used a huge sum of more than two thousand taels of gold to purchase refining materials, but they were only able to forge four F-level high-level magic tools, six G-level mid-level magic tools, and forty H-level low-level magic tools.

Xiao Chen's wealth was directly reduced by one-fifteenth, and at the same time, his cultivation level increased by one hundred and ninety years.

"Brother Jinjiao, should we prepare to refine the second batch of magic weapons?"

Faced with this result, Hu Li smiled awkwardly, but still shamelessly came to Xiao Chen to ask for money to buy materials.

"Refine it, refine it. After all, this is only the first time to refine a weapon on a large scale. Just treat it as a practice."

"Hu Li, just focus on refining the weapon. I'll take care of the money matters."

Xiao Chen patted Hu Li's shoulder and comforted him.

At the same time, Xiao Chen secretly thought in his heart: "After the second batch of magic tools are refined, I should open a shop and sell these magic tools that have been absorbed to make a profit."

"Otherwise, it will be unbearable if we keep spending and not earning."

After more than a month, these Taoist children gradually became more proficient in refining instruments for the second time. In the end, they spent 1,900 taels of gold and obtained 50 magical instruments.

Xiao Chen absorbed it all and increased his Taoism by two hundred years.

"Now I have a hundred magical instruments. This amount is enough to open a shop."

After Xiao Chen made up his mind, he ordered the monsters in Kanyuan Mountain to load the magic weapons onto the car one by one. He personally escorted the magic weapons to his shop in the east of Chechi City at the foot of the mountain.

Chechi State was originally a big country in the territory of Xiniu Hezhou. The country was prosperous and its location was even more important. There were many forces of various ethnic groups around it.

For example, the human kingdoms, Baoxiang Kingdom, Wuji Kingdom, Wusizang Kingdom..., are located to the east of Chechi Kingdom.

The Western Liang Women's Kingdom, the Shali Kingdom, the Jisai Kingdom, the Zhuzi Kingdom, the Bhikkhu Kingdom, the Miefa Kingdom... were located to the west of the Chechi Kingdom.

There are many Buddhist forces nearby, such as Baolin Temple in Wuji Kingdom, Jinguang Temple in Jisai Kingdom, Zhenhai Chanlin Temple in Bhikkhu Kingdom... and the largest Buddhist force in Chechi Kingdom is Zhiyuan Temple.

There are also many Taoist temples, such as Poer Cave in Jieyang Mountain and Huanghua Temple.

The demon king has even more power.

The Lotus Cave on Pingding Mountain, the Yalong Cave on Yalong Mountain, the Huoyun Cave on Kusongjian, the Black Water River, the Tongtian River, the Jindou Cave, the Pipa Cave on Dudi Mountain, Cuiyun Mountain, the later "Flame Mountain", the Jilei Mountain, the Bibotan on Luanshi Mountain, the 800-li Thorn Ridge, the Pansi Cave... are all near Chechi State.

Therefore, the population flow in Chechi Country is extremely large, and there are often human cultivators and transformed monsters passing through Chechi Country and coming here to play.

The world of Journey to the West is not one of fighting and killing, but is filled with human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Monsters with power and background have eaten countless people. Some monsters even like to eat young boys and girls, and even specialize in eating children's hearts and livers, and they are not in any trouble and still live freely and comfortably.

The monster with no background, kind-hearted, never eats people, and pays silver when buying pigs and sheep, but it cannot escape the fate of being beaten to death with a stick.

Millions of monsters, Buddhas, and immortals live near Chechi Kingdom. They don't just make a living by fighting and killing each other, but also have the need to trade with each other.

This demand gave rise to the trade market.

As the saying goes, "The great hide in the city." The most hidden place is often hidden in the most lively place.

There is a street in the east of Chechiguo City. The street is simple, like an elegant ink painting, without complicated colors and gorgeous decorations, and looks ordinary.

However, as early as after being introduced by the Three Immortals Huli, Xiao Chen knew that there was an endless world hidden in this street. It was a trading area for them, the immortals, demons, Buddhas... and middle and high-level cultivators.

In front of the street, there are various "illusion arrays" and "barriers". Ordinary people who come here will get out after wandering around in circles, not knowing why.

Therefore, ordinary people cannot find or enter this trading area at all.

Only those who have reached a certain level of cultivation can break through the barrier and enter this street.

The name of the street is "Tianbao Street", which is taken from the meaning of abundant natural treasures. Tianbao Street is a place specializing in trading high-level immortal cultivation materials and magic weapons. It is also the "place of exchange" in the area near Chechi State.

Next to Tianbao Street is "Qimeng Street." As the name suggests, "Qimeng" means "spring dreams with red and green leaves without a trace." Qimeng Street is a red-light district for humans, immortals, demons and Buddhas, and a place of fireworks and willows, where people change.

Xiao Chen once went to this Qimeng Street with the three Huli immortals and had fun there.

Wow, in Qimeng Street, as long as you pay enough, there are all kinds of witches, fairies, nuns, and nuns, and they accept private customization.

Moreover, wow, everyone here is a cultivator with strong enough physical fitness, so everyone is having fun, and their magic skills are used to the best effect.

What kind of "clone technique", "giant spirit technique", "vast ocean technique"... they are so wonderful that Xiao Chen was amazed and his eyes were opened.

On Tianbao Street, there are shops selling elixirs, shops selling Ganoderma lucidum, and of course shops selling magic weapons.

There used to be three weapon refining shops on Tianbao Street, namely Foyuan Pavilion, Tiangong Pavilion and Lingyunxuan.

But starting today, with Xiao Chen here, there will be a fourth family.

Xiao Chen had already taken over the shop front, a shop that sold medicine pills. The shop was very large, and Xiao Chen renovated it and turned it into a weapon refining shop.

Looking at the "Si Li Zhai" sign being hung up.

Xiao Chen felt quite emotional. This was the first store of his Silizhai. Whether his weapon-refining power could grow bigger and stronger would start from here.

"Well, are you the Taoist in gold clothes who came to my shop that day, asked a lot of questions, but ended up buying nothing?"

"It turns out he's a spy!"

Next to the Silizhai and in front of the Foyuan Pavilion, Monk Zhiyuan stuck his head out and stared at Xiao Chen with a pair of angry eyes, and said angrily.

Monk Zhiyuan was deeply impressed by the Taoist priest in golden robes who came to his shop to entertain him a few days ago.

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Hello, Master! From now on, we are neighbors."

"As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Please take good care of me, Master."

"Humph! Where did you get this wild trick? You really don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. You learned some wild weapon refining techniques and you dare to do the weapon refining business."

"Is this business something you can get involved in?"

Monk Zhiyuan sneered, his words full of sarcasm.

"Master, please don't worry about this."

Xiao Chen responded with a smile.

Monk Zhiyuan snorted coldly, turned around and went into the Foyuan Pavilion.

Diagonally opposite, the shopkeeper of Lingyunxuan smiled kindly at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen naturally nodded and responded with a smile.

As for Tiangongge, it never took the newly opened store seriously and didn't even look at it.

There are three shops: Foyuan Pavilion, Tiangong Pavilion and Lingyunxuan.

Xiao Chen had come to investigate all of these places some time ago, and had even gone in to grab some treasures, and in the process had cultivated himself for three or four hundred years.

In the world of Journey to the West, combat power depends a lot on magic weapons. Having a powerful magic weapon can greatly improve combat power.

Therefore, high-level magic weapons are in short supply, and the weapon refining shop is an absolute seller's market, where the sellers have the final say.

There is a rule in the weapon refining shop: "Don't sell your treasure at a low price, and don't ask more than three times."

What I mean is, I won't sell these treasures at a low price. If you want to buy, just ask for three items at most, look at three items, and that's it.

If you are picky, you are not buying sincerely and we will not do business with you. We should ask you to leave.

Therefore, Xiao Chen only went in to look at three or four treasures. Last time, he asked too many questions and was scolded and kicked out by the monk Zhiyuan from the Foyuan Pavilion.
