My ancestors were spiritual plant growers, so it's not surprising that I hunt demons every day,

“Third daughter, it turns out your father wasn’t bragging after all. My daughter really does know a powerful figure from the Siwu Hall. This is truly something to bring honor to our ancestors.”

When Zhu Chaoyun arrived at the city lord's mansion with his cart, Wang Rong was surprised and widened her eyes. It took her a long time to react.

After returning home, Cui Zhengming recounted his experiences accompanying Cui Ying to the Siwu Hall to Wang Rong.

At the time, Wang Rong was busy meditating and cultivating before bed. When she heard this, she gave a perfunctory reply, saying that he was daydreaming.

Who knew that she would now be watching her daughter walk towards the Siwu Hall.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Cui. The Hall Master has already given word that if you're looking for her, just go in."

Before Cui Ying could say anything, the leading guard used his divine sense to scan Cui Ying, Wang Rong behind her, and Zhu Chaoyun pushing the cart, and then ordered one of the cultivators to lead Cui Ying inside.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. Please take these demon bear meat and share them."

Cui Ying told Zhu Chaoyun and her mother to wait outside, then cut off sixty or seventy catties of demon bear meat and handed it to the gatekeeper.

In the past, Cui Ying would have been too lazy to bother with these cultivators, but as the saying goes, "It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings." She wasn't strong enough yet, and for the sake of her future plans, it would be beneficial to build good relationships with these cultivators.

Afterwards, she cut off two hundred catties of demon bear meat and entered the Siwu Hall, heading straight for the same hall as before.

The one guarding this spot was still Lady Liu. Upon seeing Cui Ying, she emerged from the shadows and asked with some surprise:

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Cui, how come you arrived so quickly?"

After all, it had only been two days since they agreed to deliver the spirit whip and the monster meat.

Cui Ying lifted the demon bear meat in her hand and said with a smile:

"Senior Liu, we just happened to be in the city selling demon bear meat, so we thought we'd drop some over for you and Senior Lei to try."

Liu Shijun smiled and immediately sent a telepathic message to the spirit chef in charge of cooking for the cultivators of the Siwu Hall, instructing him to come to the flower hall to fetch the meat.

After doing all that, Cui Ying saw him holding a storage bag, preparing to take out spirit stones.

"No need, Senior Liu. Senior Lei already paid with spirit stones last time, so you can't give me any more."

Liu Shijun still took out one hundred spirit stones and said with a smile:

"In any case, our Martial Arts Hall has no reason to let anyone suffer a loss."

"No, no, I can't accept these spirit stones anymore. Senior Liu, please put them away quickly."

Cui Ying was determined to cultivate a good relationship with Lei Yujing and refused to accept the hundred or so spirit stones.

"Senior Liu, please continue with your work. I'll take my leave now."

When she walked out of the Siwu Hall, she saw a large group of cultivators surrounding the cart.

"mother!"

Cui Ying's expression changed slightly, fearing something had happened, and she quickly appeared beside Wang Rong.

The moment she grasped the Yaoguang Sword, she saw her mother standing excitedly beside the cart, gesturing with both hands:

"This is genuine demon bear meat, hunted by my daughter and her master. It's full of spiritual energy and the meat is delicious. It's nourishing for the elderly and good for children's spiritual bones. It's far more beneficial than those random low-level demon beast meats."

"What? You're saying the spiritual energy in this demon bear meat has been lost? But I'm selling it for less than others. Look, even the nobles from the Siwu Hall are willing to buy our demon bear meat, so what are you worried about?"

The rogue cultivators who were looking around the cart also saw the girl coming out of the Martial Arts Hall, and someone immediately shouted:

"Okay, that's enough. Just cut me twenty pounds to take with me."

"Me too, I want thirty pounds."

Seeing this scene, Cui Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

In just a quarter of an hour, Wang Rong lost another 300 pounds thanks to her silver tongue.

She happily counted the spirit stones she had received, then, looking at the remaining seven hundred or so catties of demon bear meat, she waved her hand and said:

"Let's go, let's go to the black market."

"okay."

"Quick, they're still here!"

Just then, Cui Ying suddenly saw a young cultivator emerge from the street corner ahead. He pointed to Cui Ying's cart and then led a portly middle-aged cultivator over.

Just as Cui Ying thought they had come to cause trouble, she heard the portly middle-aged cultivator raise his voice and ask:

"Fellow Daoists, how much is the meat of these demon bears?"

"Senior, the demon bear meat of the seventh level of Qi Refining has lost some spiritual energy, so I'll sell it to you forty-five spirit fragments per pound. The demon bear meat of the fifth level of Qi Refining will be thirty-eight spirit fragments per pound."

Cui Ying mimicked her mother's tone and quoted the price.

"Fellow Daoists, if I want more, could you give me a discount?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator didn't look at the meat much, but continued to ask with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Rong immediately perked up and quickly asked:

"Does your family own a food stall? How much do you want? We have a total of 700 catties of demon bear meat left. If you can buy it all, we can discuss the price."

"Haha∽"

The middle-aged cultivator patted his large belly, smiled, and remained silent. The young cultivator who had led the way, however, spoke with an arrogant air:

"Listen carefully, my master's surname is Zhao, and he is a powerful expert at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Although my master does not run a food shop, he has seven or eight businesses under his name. Your little bit of demon beast meat is just enough for one meal at my master's mansion."

"Ouch!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Rong's eyes immediately lit up.

"Oh, it's Master Zhao! I was so blind to your greatness. There are a few demon bear paws left here. I'll give them to you to try later, and I won't charge you any spirit stones."

Master Zhao didn't stand on ceremony. He glanced at the several demon bear paws that were almost piled up like a mountain and laughed:

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Wang Rong smiled and then said:

"Master Chen, we still have seven hundred catties of bear meat left. How about I offer it to you at thirty spirit fragments per catty? This is already cheaper than all the previous buyers."

"Oh, in that case, you're really at a disadvantage, fellow Daoist."

Wang Rong shook her head and sighed:

"We're mostly independent practitioners from outlying villages, and we just want to sell our stuff and go home as soon as possible. It's rare to meet such a big customer like you, so we're not going to set a price. We also want to build a good relationship with you."

"Since we've come this far, I won't say any more. Let's settle on this price."

After saying this, Master Zhao looked at Cui Ying and Zhu Chaoyun, who had the highest cultivation levels, with great interest and asked:

"You hunted these two demonic bears in the Phoenix Mountains?"

"That's it."

Although she didn't kill the seventh-level demonic bear herself, the female ghost who killed it died by her own hand, so it doesn't seem wrong.

Seeing that Master Zhao's gaze was probing and he clearly didn't believe her, Wang Rong quickly said:

"Master Zhao, don't disbelieve me. My daughter is quite capable. Although she didn't kill the demon bear at the seventh level of Qi Refining, she killed a Gale Tiger at the sixth level of Qi Refining a while ago. She's really amazing."

"Is he really that powerful? Can he even kill enemies of a higher level?"

Master Zhao's eyes flickered, then he nodded slightly and said with interest:

"Could you tell me how you managed to kill that Gale Tiger, a creature of a higher level?"

Although Cui Ying didn't know why others were so interested in her affairs, she wasn't the only cultivator capable of killing enemies beyond their level.

So, without much hesitation, she recounted the harrowing battle she had fought with the Gale Tiger that night.

"Impressive, young friend!"

When Master Zhao heard that the Gale Tiger had chased Cui Ying all the way to her home in the Phoenix Mountains, he was also surprised and continued to ask:

"I can see that you are very strong, young friend. I have a task for you. I wonder if you are interested?"
