The middle-aged townsman who replied shook his head and pointed in a direction to the south, saying, "There's one in Niutou Town, but the demon bees are causing a lot of trouble there right now, so I advise you not to go there!"
Su Rui nodded, bowed to the two young men and said goodbye, then took the red dragon and the little fox demon along the intersection and walked into the town.
This Qingxu Town was not the small town that Su Rui visited when he entered the mountain. It was not very close to the entrances to the palaces and magnificent scenery of Qingcheng Mountain, so the buildings in the town were relatively low and old, and the business was not well developed. In addition, due to the threat of the appearance of the demon bee, there were only a few pedestrians hurrying along the street.
Su Rui glanced at the tallest building in the town. It was a three-story building with red walls, black tiles, and flying eaves, which was very magnificent.
So, he took the two monsters and headed straight for the building. When they arrived at the door, they found that this was not an inn, but the private residence of a wealthy family in the town.
He didn't want to leave anymore. After standing in front of the door and thinking for a while, Su Rui knocked on the door.
"Who's visiting?"
An old voice sounded, and then the door slowly opened, revealing a hunchbacked old servant.
"Old man, please inform the owner of this place that I want to buy this house!" Su Rui said straight to the point.
When the old servant saw Su Rui and Chi Jiao dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and holding a fox pet in their arms, he knew that they were of extraordinary status and did not refuse. He just politely asked them to wait for a moment and then closed the door.

As soon as they met, he asked, "Young man, how could you be so arrogant as to say you want to buy my ancestral home?"
Su Rui said nothing, but put his hands into his sleeves and took out a night-shining pearl the size of an egg from a small cloth bag.
"What do you think of this Dongzhu?"
The young scholar took the night-shining pearl and looked at it. Although he was a little surprised and didn't know what Su Rui meant by suddenly changing the subject, he nodded and said, "It's in good condition and worth a thousand taels!"
His evaluation still underestimated the value of Dongzhu, but Su Rui didn't care.
"How about I exchange a bucket of Dongzhu for your ancestral house and your servants?" Su Rui asked with a rather wealthy look. This Dongzhu was a treasure that Taoist Qiao San had placed in his black gourd. There was a whole pile of it, and no one knew where he had plundered it from.
"Ah, this..." The young scholar was frightened by Su Rui's words.
