Chapter 208 Return
next day
The morning sun was rising, shining on everyone's faces, but no one woke up, and they were all still sleeping soundly. It was not until the aroma of a pot of bone soup tempted them that they got up from the ground one by one.
"Wang Qiye, you got up early enough."
Ouyang Changfeng looked at Wang Qiye who was drinking soup, walked to him, grabbed the wooden spoon, and scooped a bowl for himself.
"I can't fall asleep again after waking up at this time."
Wang Qiye took another sip. The heat was not right and the cooking time was too short, so it was not as fragrant as yesterday's pot, but it was still delicious.
"Let me have a bowl too."
"Don't push."
Everyone drank a bowl of bone soup in the morning to replenish their energy. Now everyone's storage bags were full and they no longer had the heart to hunt. After they got on their horses, they were eager to go home.
It can be said that they had considered everything on this trip, except for the storage bag. It would be a lie to say that they did not regret it. But when the horses galloped, these things were thrown behind their minds. The group had no formation at all, but at least they maintained the shape of a gourd and galloped on the way back.
Getting farther and farther away from the heart of the demonic land also meant that everyone was getting safer. Even though everyone didn't want to hunt anymore, there were still five second-level demon beasts that ran into them. They didn't know if it was luck or if they didn't want to, but they still ran into them. In the end, they could only find five people to carry them on their backs, making such a ostentatious move that made others laugh at them.
Everyone returned the horses and refunded the difference in the price of the fodder. Wan Qing led the group to a trading street not far from here.
This place is located on a major transportation route. Over time, some merchants started buying items from the monks who returned from the demon land. The price was fair, about the same as selling them at the Qingyun Peak Market. Many people were unwilling to travel a long way to Qingyun Peak and sold them here. Gradually, a small market was formed here that specialized in buying skins, bones, monster meat, and heart blood. As for the items on the third-level monsters that were already valuable for refining weapons, they could not be sold here and had to be sold to the Refining Hall, or the Qingyun Peak, Qinghu Peak, and Qinglian Peak Markets.
"Brother Wan Qing, how is it?"
Everyone gathered around. When selling things, one would naturally compare prices from three different stores. Everyone watched Wan Qing ask at each store and hurried forward to ask.
"Let's go. They all dislike that our monster bones are not handled cleanly, and they want to weigh them."
"What? Weighing? We don't even like to sell it."
Pig Intestine became anxious at that time.
"Well, let's go to Qingyun Peak Market. The prices there are more reasonable."
Wan Qing comforted him.
"That's right. We still have those three sets of refining materials to trade, so we still have to go to Qingyun Peak. Let's go quickly, it's getting dark. After selling the materials and buying a few bottles of wine, we can still have a barbecue dinner in time for everyone to leave."
Ouyang Changfeng also felt that it didn't matter if there were fewer things, but his group had returned with a full load, so naturally they would wait for a good price.
"Well, let's go. The owner of the Spirit Beast Pavilion has replied that we can eat all of them, but we need to work harder to process the monster bones. I'm sorry to bother you guys later."
Wan Qing said something apologetically to everyone and led everyone towards the ferry terminal.
Everyone didn't care, but they probably wouldn't be able to have the barbecue dinner today.
The group boarded the cloud boat. Wan Qing paid 11 spirit stones and arrived at the Qingyun Peak market, then headed straight for the Spirit Beast Pavilion.
A five-story building with the three words "Spirit Beast Pavilion" on the plaque, which has a bit of the flavor of wild beasts.
"I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please come in."
As soon as the group arrived at the door, a fat shopkeeper came up to greet them with a smile.
"The shopkeeper came to greet us personally, and we were a little scared."
Wan Qing returned the greeting.
"Hey, you are a guest, please follow me to the second floor."
The fat shopkeeper led the way, and the group followed him up to the second floor. When they pushed open the door of the private room, a faint aroma of food wafted out. Two eight-immortal tables were put together, and it seemed that they were put together temporarily. There were many dishes on them, which looked like they had been put there just now. They were still steaming, but they had no spirit at all. They were just ordinary meals, and there were also four bottles of wine.
"This is?"
Wan Qing was surprised and looked at the shopkeeper in confusion.
"I see it's getting late. If you guys finish your work, you might miss the dinner time. So I took the initiative to ask the kitchen to add a few dishes. If you guys don't mind, how about we finish eating and then go back to work?"
The fat shopkeeper had a big smile on his face and asked everyone to sit down quickly.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, shopkeeper."
Wan Qing thanked him and sat down first.
Everyone took their seats.
Wang Qiye came to the table and glanced at the food on the table, feeling a little disappointed. But looking at the happy expressions of the people, it seemed that he was valued by the shopkeeper, and this table of ordinary food had won over everyone.
"Brother Wan Qing, I'll put my things down and I won't eat dinner here."
"Okay then. I'll transfer it to you after I sell the stuff."
Wan Qing nodded and smiled at him.
"Why, young man, is it not to your liking?"
The fat shopkeeper's expression changed slightly.
"He wants to go back early to hug his beloved wife." Mu Wanqing said sourly.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry. How about this, I will pay for the drinks for the barbecue dinner tomorrow night. I'll trouble you brothers to work hard later."
Wang Qiye clasped his hands together and said apologetically.
"Well, go ahead. You have to make sure there are enough drinks tomorrow night."
Wan Qing didn't bother to be polite with him. Everyone here knew that he was now a local rich man. The monthly expenses for the four maids alone were 1200 spirit stones, which was shocking.
"That's good. Come with me, young man. It's next door. You can put the monster bones there first."
The fat shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled again, and led Wang Qiye.
"Well, lead the way."
The fat shopkeeper opened the door of the next room. It seemed to be a place where they usually purchased goods and had all kinds of tools.
Wang Qiye didn't care. He found an open space and emptied the animal bones in the storage bag with Shuanghua and Ziyan. He didn't take out the three storage bags of monster bones he got from hunting the third-level monster. Duanmu Lan had replied to the message and asked him to eat them all. Wang Qiye wanted to seduce this beauty. Her eyes were so seductive, as if they could speak. When the two were teaching medical skills, she was obviously seducing him, but when he touched her hand, she avoided it. If he didn't touch it, her watery eyes would even look aggrieved. He really couldn't understand what she meant.
After putting down his things, Wang Qiye said hello to the people next door, then left with Zi Yan and Shuang Hua.
Ouyang Changfeng withdrew his eyes from looking outside the door, grabbed the wine cup in front of him, and drank it in one gulp.
"People with wives are different. They can't even look down on such food."
The pig intestine said this heartlessly, then took a bite of the meat dish and ate it with oil dripping from his mouth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if the food is not enough, you can add more."
The fat shopkeeper held the wine jug and personally poured wine for everyone present.
"Thank you for your kindness, boss. From now on, we will only recognize your brand."
Wan Qing picked up the wine cup in front of him and responded to the shopkeeper.
"Although our store is engaged in business, please rest assured that the prices are absolutely fair."
The fat shopkeeper continued to smile naively and greeted everyone.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange a few free guys to help you guys out. We'll try to finish it as soon as possible so you can go back and rest earlier."
"Boss, thank you very much."
After hearing this unexpected surprise, Ouyang Changfeng secretly sighed that this shopkeeper knew how to do business. A smile appeared on his face and he looked up to the fat shopkeeper.
The others also laughed and thought that the shopkeeper was kind.
"Boss, the wine is good and the food is good too."
Wan Qing praised and smiled.
"If you like it, come here often. There's nothing else, but you'll be full."
Hearing Wan Qing's words, the fat shopkeeper's smile grew even wider.
"We originally planned to only sell monster bones to you. We heard from fellow apprentices that you have a good reputation. I heard that you also sell monster skins and monster meat. We were going to compare prices from three different stores before deciding, but since we have already reached an agreement with you, we will not go to other stores. We will sell the skins and monster meat to you as well."
Wan Qing thought about it for a moment and decided to sell the business.
No one had any objection. Low-level monsters were not precious commodities. In fact, the prices were almost the same. It just depended on which one to choose to do business with.
"It is an honor for us that you can trust us so much. Don't worry, we can gain a foothold here, and we rely on this golden sign. The price will definitely satisfy you, so that you know that coming to our Spiritual Beast Pavilion will not be a wasted trip."
The fat shopkeeper spoke passionately, and the fat on his face trembled.
"We naturally trust the shopkeeper, otherwise we wouldn't have come so far and come straight to you."
Ouyang Changfeng said something flattering. To put it bluntly, everyone present were poor low-level cultivators. To receive such a generous hospitality from the shopkeeper was already beyond everyone's imagination.
After everyone had their meal, they started to process the monster bones next door. The fat shopkeeper kept his word and arranged a few waiters to come and help everyone clean up.
Wan Qing went out alone, with a lot of precious blood, some refining materials, and some herbs to process.
People were not worried that Wan Qing had embezzled public funds, this was Wan Qing's openness. You were afraid of some people embezzling, but for some people, you wished they would embezzle a little.
Wan Qing left a message: "Junior Brother Wang, this time I hunted, I got a total of 3843 ...
