Before going to the human city, Song Xia first met with his son.
"Mother!" Upon suddenly seeing her figure, Song Luo thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
"You've made a breakthrough." Song Xia patted his head. "Congratulations."
Song Luo nodded casually, only concerned with checking if she was alright: "Mother, are you alright?"
"I haven't fully recovered yet, but Mother has other matters to attend to and needs to go to the nearest city."
Song Luo frowned. He now had a very bad impression of humans, so he didn't really approve of Song Xia going: "Mother, what are you going to do with the humans?"
"For the sake of the safety of Sunset Forest, there are some things that Mother needs to prepare in advance."
"Then I'll go with you."
Song Luo is now extremely worried about Song Xia, fearing that something might happen to her again, because he absolutely cannot lose his mother.
“No, you have to stay here and cultivate.” Song Xia firmly refused him.
Seeing his disappointed yet stubborn expression, she patiently persuaded him, "I promise you, I won't put myself in danger. Besides, I'm not going alone; your Uncle Bai will be with me."
What are you going to do?
"Doing business."
"Business?" Song Luo was genuinely surprised. What kind of business did her mother and the others want to do with the human race?
Thinking of the human race's scheming, he frowned and said, "Mother, it's easy to suffer losses when doing business with them."
Song Xia smiled faintly: "You don't trust your mother?"
Song Luo hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't believe them, it's just that they are really cunning."
"Mother knows you've suffered at their hands, but that's precisely why I want to take the plunge. Otherwise, if the two races ever clash, the demon race will be more easily outmaneuvered."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Song Luo once again gave her a pitiful look: "Are you really not letting me come along?"
His actions almost made Song Xia waver. The main reason was that because of his past experience in Tianyuan Sect, this child was usually very aloof and stubborn. Now, he was acting like a spoiled child, which was a huge contrast!
Song Xia couldn't help but rub his head hard again: "Be a good boy and wait here for your mother. I'll go and build a family business for you."
Song Luo nodded haphazardly. He had no hope at all. He secretly vowed that once he had enough cultivation to make his mother feel at ease enough to go out and explore, he would work hard to earn whatever his mother wanted.
"Take these for now." Song Xia gave him two storage rings, which contained the treasures that the demon kings had given her.
Song Luo didn't check it immediately, but listened to his mother carefully put it away. When he accidentally opened it one day, he was almost blinded by the treasures.
Looking at the two storage rings filled with all their contents, he gasped. Did his mother really just give them to him so casually?
This is the umpteenth time I've been moved. My mother is truly selfless towards him. How can she be so good to him?
As far as he knew, Qin Taiming hadn't been this good to Qin Xiuyang!
He smiled, knowing he would never be jealous of anyone again, because he had the best mother in the world!
In the Qingyang Continent, where strength represents everything, Song Luo did not hesitate to part with these treasures. Instead, he used them for cultivation. The only thing he could do for his mother now was to cultivate diligently, improve his cultivation level, and put her at ease.
"How do we get started?" Bai Xiao looked completely bewildered; he really didn't know anything about doing business.
Looking at the dilapidated auction house in front of him, Song Xia smiled mysteriously: "Let's acquire this store first."
Baihu frowned: "What's the point of acquiring a store that's about to go bankrupt?"
You'll find out in a month.
She was very mysterious, but Bai Xiao trusted her completely. Since he didn't understand anything himself, he just needed to follow her instructions.
A month later, the newly renovated Song's Auction House officially opened. Before the renovation, she had already advertised that the auction would feature rare items such as Spirit Wood, top-grade Fire Spirit Ore, and Millennium Wisdom Fruit, so the opening day was particularly lively.
But most of them were just there to watch the excitement or to find out what was going on. After all, who wouldn't be curious about a newly opened business whose background couldn't be found out?
Besides the auction, Song Xia also filled the first and second floors of the shop with goods, all of which were sold daily.
"This is Thunderwood! A piece of Thunderwood this long is enough to forge a new sword. Is this really for sale?"
The staff were all former employees of the old auction house. Song Xia only gave them simple training. In the past, they had suffered a lot of grievances because the auction house was in a state of disrepair. Now, with a wide variety of goods available, all of which were rare on the market, they were all proud and confident.
"Yes, these are real people. They are all for sale. Would you like to take a look?"
"How many spirit stones? I'll take it."
"Yes, sir. One thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Thank you for your patronage."
The moment they received the goods, the cultivators felt it was real. In fact, the goods in the merchant guild were all priced normally, but when they bought them outside, the quality was often worse or there was a shortage of goods. They often had to pay a premium. How could they buy so happily and smoothly like today?
Seeing that everyone had successfully completed their transactions and that the stock on the shelves was dwindling, the trading house became bustling with activity as everyone pulled out spirit stones to snap up the goods.
"It seems the auction tonight is for real!"
"If the promotional brochure here is not a lie, then I will spend all my wealth to get that Wisdom Fruit."
The cultivators were all excited, and some were even reluctant to leave, fearing that they would not have a place at the auction.
The smarter ones would report to their families or sects and try to get more spirit stones. After all, these are rare and hard to come by. Who knows if there will be any more of these things after this auction?
In an instant, Maple City was bustling with people, and the reputation of Song's Auction House rose overnight.
Bai Xiao stared intently at Song Xia: "You really did it!"
"Hmm." Song Xia nodded calmly, her smile mysterious. "The first step is to make a name for yourself, and there's more to come."
Bai Xiao took a deep breath: "I'm already starting to look forward to it."
Throughout history, humans have always manipulated demons, and demons have rarely succeeded in doing business with humans. But today, he witnessed a miracle.
He never expected that something so common in Sunset Forest could cause such a sensation in the human world after being publicized like this.
The Eagle King had traded with humans before. If he remembered correctly, he exchanged a few top-grade spirit stones for a few Qi-Nourishing Pills from the humans.
Now, the most inconspicuous items in the shop are things like Qi-Nourishing Pills, which have even become free gifts. As long as you buy something from the shop, you will receive a bottle as a gift.
"I think they would be happy to buy even if it wasn't given away for free."
Song Xia smiled and said, "I want them to think that pills like Qi Nourishing Pills and Rejuvenating Pills are worthless."
"You had this planned in mind too?"
"Brother Bai, do you think alchemists will still refine these kinds of pills once they become worthless?"
"Won't."
"If I buy it at the original price, will they only choose to sell to me?"
Bai Xiao understood and admired Song Xia's thinking. Although these low-grade pills seemed ordinary, they were all consumables in actual battles!
