After Su Yu died young, he signed a contract with System 537 and transmigrated into the body of the female lead's older brother in a cultivation novel. He was a male supporting character who on...
Chapter 91 Snow Crystal City
It turns out that a group of demons under the master's power rebelled and fled today.
The master urgently summoned servants and slaves to count the number of demons; those who disobeyed would be considered deserters.
Because the herb-gathering girl returned late and there was no news of her, her master identified her as a deserter, and her unsuspecting foster parents lost their lives.
The master ordered that anyone who defected, or anyone implicated in the defection, be executed without mercy.
Upon receiving the news, the herb-gathering woman could only flee in resentment.
He then actually joined the rebel forces.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Where did the herb-gathering girl get this information?"
Wen Shu wasn't annoyed that his storytelling was interrupted. He calmly said, "It probably caused quite a stir back then. It's just a legend, don't take it too seriously."
"Are you still going to listen?"
Su Yu gestured for them to proceed.
Years later, the Snow Leopard grew to adulthood and its strength increased greatly. It sought out the Herb-Gathering Girl of Grace to repay her kindness.
From then on, the demon and the beast fought side by side, their fame spread far and wide, their rebellion succeeded, and they built a new city on the ruins, named Snow Crystal.
Xue Luan, the herb-gathering woman who had become the leader, was grateful for the help and companionship of the Snow Crystal Leopard and gave it the title of sacred beast. The Snow Crystal Leopard also developed a deep bond with Xue Luan and was willing to protect the city that had cost them so much.
In short, that's the legend of the Snow Crystal City.
Therefore, the buying, selling, and enslaving of magical beasts are strictly prohibited in Snow Crystal City; violators will be sentenced to death.
"So we have to get off the bus when we get outside the city. There are shops outside Snow Crystal City that specialize in providing pet boarding services for monsters."
Upon reaching the area ten kilometers outside Snow Crystal City, just as Wen Shu had said, a piece of land had been fenced off, with several shops. The shopkeepers were outside soliciting customers, promoting how meticulous and thoughtful their services were for monsters.
Birds chirped and beasts growled. The shopkeepers, following the habits of the magical beasts, designated different places for the fostered beasts to stay, so as to prevent any customer's adorable pet from being devoured by another's ferocious beast.
"Alright, after we enter the city, should we go to the Ghost Market first, or to the inn first?" Wen Shu handed the monster cart to the waiter, watched them unload and put it away, and led away the monster horse, then relaxed and said.
“The two of us will go to the Ghost Market,” Su Yu said, helping Feng Huaijin to get some support. “My brother and your brother can go to the inn to rest first.”
For the past ten days or so, he had been checking on Feng Huaijin's injuries and treating them every two days as usual, so he knew the extent of Feng Huaijin's injuries very well. And because he had treated them promptly each time, Feng Huaijin's injuries were actually not as serious as they looked now.
Wen Shu's expression softened: "Alright, it's still a bit far from Snow Crystal City, let's walk there."
Su Yu paused: "Can't fly on swords? You all have Foundation Establishment cultivation, right?"
He said something was off. Before, apart from flying boats, they usually traveled by sword, which was faster than riding a magical beast chariot, except for some special magical beasts with speed talents.
However, because the journey was long and Twelve was injured, he assumed that the Fengyun Caravan had taken this into consideration when they borrowed the monster carriage.
But now that there's only a short distance left, he can easily take Twelve with him.
That's the problem with these two brothers.
Su Yu's eyes were filled with obvious suspicion.
Wen Shu turned his head slightly to avoid Su Yu's gaze: "My brother is not good at sword control, so his continuous flight time is not long."
Wen Xiao, standing to the side, hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
There's no need to drag him down with every excuse.
Su Yu noticed him: "Xiao Wen?"
Wen Xiao glanced at her brother, coughed lightly, and whispered, "My brother is afraid of heights."
Furthermore, they felt it was shameful for a demon to have such a weakness and refused to admit it.
Of course, to save face for her older brother, Wen Xiao didn't say it directly.
But he still received a resentful glare from his brother.
“Heh…” Su Yu quickly suppressed her laughter and said seriously, “Then my brother and I will set off on our swords first. He needs to rest.”
Wen Shu nodded silently.
Feng Huaijin leaned against Su Yu, his face still a little pale, but naturally he had no objections.
"Huh? Are you kidding me?! My little darling is going to stay in a place like this?"
The voice was arrogant and domineering, followed immediately by the next sentence.
"What kind of lousy rules does Snow Crystal City have? Tell the Snow family that if I can't bring my little darling, I'm not going! The deal is void!"
After uttering these words, the demon seemed to turn and leave.
Openly challenging the rules of Snow Crystal City, could this demon have a very powerful background?
Many eyes were secretly drawn to the center of the dispute.
Su Yu wasn't interested in this. He wanted to take Twelve with him, but the road was blocked by the demons brought by some unknown young lady, who wouldn't even let the demons fly over their heads.
No one has yet taken the lead in this endeavor.
Since things have come to this, let's just watch the show.
Su Yu stood firm, providing support for Feng Huaijin.
This kid was lively and energetic when they were going to lock him up, but now he's completely listless, constantly saying he's too weak to stand and needs Su Yu to lend him some strength.
Su Yu had no relevant experience in this matter, so she simply pretended that she didn't know the truth.
Although the Wen brothers looked at them with increasingly strange eyes.
However, neither Su Yu nor Feng Huaijin, those two demons, cared.
At this moment, the center of the dispute was probably the representative sent by the Xue family to receive the demon. Wiping away cold sweat, he tried to appease this old lady, his face full of embarrassment.
"This, this, this rule has never been broken before! Oh, Miss Yuan, please have mercy on me, I beg you not to hold it against me. Look, everyone's magical beasts are kept here. I've found the best boarding place for my little darling, and I guarantee it won't suffer the slightest grievance!"
"My little darling prefers to roam freely and won't stay in this shabby place. Alright, just tell your master that! Come on, let's go!"
The demonic guards surged forward, and the path to Su Yu's side was clear.
"Miss Yuan! Miss Yuan! I have already sent a demon to ask the head of the family! Please wait a moment! The news will be here soon!" The demon, who looked like a steward, hurriedly caught up with several servants and asked the young lady in a humble voice to calm her down.
A thought suddenly flashed through Su Yu's mind.
If they're really that friendly to Warcraft, why don't they even allow Warcraft into the city?
This foster care area is quite large, but for medium to large-sized magical beasts, their range of movement is still limited.
But Su Yu and the others didn't care after that. Seeing that some demons had already gone out, they mingled with the demon horde and followed them.
The two brothers tucked their younger brothers into the inn and then headed towards the ghost market in Snow Crystal City.
"I heard that the Ghost Market is offering discounts to talented alchemists and weapon refiners. Wen Shu, why don't you give it a try?"
Su Yu spoke casually, but in reality, she was instigating him.
Even though I've enjoyed the discounts, I still have to do something for the Ghost Market, otherwise it'll suffer a huge loss.
There are so many demons in the world. Although Su Yao's alchemy skills are unparalleled according to the plot, it cannot be denied that there are many demons or humans below her, who can also be described as extremely talented geniuses.
Many of them choose to hide their identities and sell their works in the ghost market during their weaker period.
How could the ghost market possibly let go of such a good opportunity to win over and exploit people?
That's right. In short, Su Yu had her eye on Wen Shu's talent as an alchemist and wanted to poach him from the Fengyun Merchant Caravan.
This guy has a lot of innovative theoretical knowledge, but he's not good at practical application. We just need to give him the complete Cold Begonia Alchemy Method.
In any case, the Ghost Market doesn't solely rely on how advanced the finished product can be crafted from magic energy. Those who can propose mature and feasible solutions in theory are also considered magical talents.
Su Yu didn't believe that Wen Shu hadn't produced anything good in all these years, given that he could provide the antidote formula in just five days.
For example, the new beast-driving pill powder that Wen Shu produced, which we heard about before.
Although Wen Shu has a contract with the caravan, it's only for twenty or thirty years, which cultivators can afford to wait.
Let them enjoy the discounts to give them time to work in the ghost market; consider it a transition.
Coincidentally, while Wen Shu was verifying the alchemist's talent, he was able to speak with the person in charge of this place as the Ghost Lord.
