Jiang Jiyu's words were not alarmist.

Canglan Mountain is the world of monsters and beasts, and the rules are made with the blood and bones of all kinds of unbelieving monks.

At this moment, Shen Lian was very obedient. He didn't want to break the law. It was not suitable for him to blame the heaven, the earth and the air.

However, where Shen Lian walked, occasionally an inconspicuous black-horned ant would crawl by.

The demons in the vast mountains and forests simply don't care about the ants who haven't even reached the Qi training stage.

Shen Lian also discovered some clues as he followed Jiang Jiyu. For example, after walking a certain distance, he would deliberately stop at a hill or a small valley.

And in these locations, one can sense a profound aura.

In his perception, inside these restrictions that exuded a deep aura, there was a third-level demon king in charge. His strength was not that strong, but between the early and middle stages of the third level.

In addition, Shen Lian also discovered that the locations where the demon kings were stationed were quite mysterious. If one zoomed in on the entire mountain range, they should be part of a large formation.

…

"Look, that's Leigu Mountain."

Towards evening, Jiang Jiyu pointed in the direction of a white cloud covering the hill and let out a sigh of relief.

When he got out of the mountain, he took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant.

After a humming sound, the dragon-shaped jade pendant flew towards Leigu Mountain.

"Let's wait."

About an incense stick of time later, a small crack appeared in the white fog shrouding the outside of Leigu Mountain, and a small path paved with bluestone appeared.

A figure with a snake-like lower body, a human-like middle body, and a dragon head that has not yet fully transformed, emerged from the path.

"Who is here to pay homage to the Demon King?"

"Manager Mo, it's me." Jiang Jiyu took two steps forward.

"So it's you, a member of the outer sect of the Fox Clan."

"Come with me, Lord Demon King happens to be free."

Then, Jiang Jiyu waved to Shen Lian and followed Manager Mo Jiao into the path in the white fog.

After passing through the thick white fog, there is a valley with flower beds, paths, spiritual animals, butterflies, and spiritual springs, exuding a tranquil atmosphere.

The stone bridges, paths, pavilions and waterside terraces are all carved from precious jade, crystal clear and simple.

Under the guidance of Manager Mo Jiao, Shen Lian and his companions went deep into the valley.

In the valley, above a tall stone bridge, there was a young girl in a green shirt, with a graceful figure and a pair of silver dragon horns on her forehead. Her lively eyes blinked, revealing a hint of cunning inadvertently.

"Demon King, the people have been led here."

Under the stone bridge, Steward Mo Jiao led Shen Lian and Jiang Ji Yu to the back and bowed.

On his way here, Shen Lian had already quietly looked at the Wu Jiao King. Before he came, he thought that the Wu Jiao King was an old witch.

Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a beautiful girl with white teeth.

From a distance, it looks very lively.

The monsters of Canglan Mountain, from the first to the third level, all have the opportunity to transform, thanks to the great monster king Canglan.

This demon king obtained the seeds of shapeshifting grass from outside, cultivated it on a large scale, and had human alchemists refine shapeshifting pills.

After taking the transformation pill, the degree of transformation that can be achieved depends on the condition of the monster itself.

Generally speaking, the weaker the monster's strength, the worse the effect after taking the transformation pill.

As soon as Manager Mo Jiao finished speaking, the girl in green on the stone bridge turned into a ray of green light and disappeared.

At the same time, Shen Lian, who was walking side by side with Jiang Jiyu, suddenly took a step back.

"Why are you running? I don't eat people anymore."

After hearing the Witch Dragon King's lively voice, Shen Lian stopped and then felt a small white arm pressing down on his left shoulder.

"Tsk." The Witch Dragon King had already placed one hand on Shen Lian's left shoulder, and raised his crystal chin, making a 'tsk tsk' greeting gesture.

"Daoyou, you are the one who wants to let my blood flow?"

"As usual, did you bring the goods I wanted?"

"I have to inspect the goods first."

Feeling the fragrance exhaled by the young demon king falling on his cheek, Shen Lian subconsciously wanted to push the Witch Dragon King out.

After noticing Shen Lian's actions, the Witch Dragon King glared at Shen Lian and gritted his teeth at him, his crystal teeth flashing with light.

"Oh, so you, like the fox next to you, don't like the female dragon."

“…”

The Witch Dragon King withdrew the little hand that was on Shen Lian's shoulder, then crossed his arms in front of his chest, holding his crystal chin with one hand, nodding and clicking his tongue.

"The life experience of the human race is enough for me to learn for a lifetime."

…

Looking at the appearance of the Witch Dragon King, Shen Lian was speechless.

Can there be a normal demon in Canglan Mountain? "I haven't experienced the joy of love between male and female Taoist friends of the human race, but you humans have actually started to like fellow Taoists."

"Tsk, tsk, that's difficult."

“…”

Jiang Jiyu stood aside, a look of embarrassment on her beautiful face.

The demon kings who have their own independent caves and titles in Canglan Mountain have all registered with the Great Demon King Canglan. All of them possess high-level bloodlines and are expected to advance to the fourth-level Great Demon King.

Placed in a large sect of the human race, it is the Nascent Soul seed.

“It’s so hard to enter the world.”

The Witch Dragon King kept mumbling to himself, as if he was lost in self-reflection.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Shen Lian was also speechless.

Jiang Jiyu had previously said that the Witch Dragon King liked shiny things, which gave him a preconceived idea. He imagined the Witch Dragon King as a bloated, smelly demon dragon.

Hey.

Unexpectedly, the Witch Dragon King is quite good-looking.

It’s still fragrant.

"By the way, you want my blood, what good stuff do you plan to give me?"

After a period of self-reflection, King Wu Jiao suddenly came to his senses and finally remembered today's important business.

Shen Lian touched the storage ring, and then a string of crystal clear finger rings flew out.

This is a combination magic weapon that can be worn directly on the nails.

The surface is sparkling and inlaid with various colorful gemstones, and the overall shape is slender and crystal.

When the combined magic weapon was taken out, the Witch Dragon King's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the finger sleeve with a whoosh.

There is no need for Shen Lian to introduce it, it knows how to wear it on the finger.

“Click.”

The fingertips of the two hands touched each other, making a crisp sound, and the Witch Dragon King nodded with satisfaction.

"Little fox, the people you brought this time are good. This king is very satisfied."

After saying that, Wu Jiao King looked at Shen Lian.

"The combined grade of your magic weapon is not inferior to that of a third-grade mid-grade weapon, so it will be discounted according to the third-grade mid-grade weapon."

Jiang Ji Yu also looked at Shen Lian. He had led people to communicate with the Demon King more than once, but there were not many things he could produce at one time that would satisfy the Demon King.

"One portion of this king's precious blood is comparable to a third-grade high-quality spiritual object. You can exchange it with a pill or magic weapon of the same grade."

Its precious blood can indeed be considered a top-grade third-level spiritual object.

"Also, let this little fox tell you the rules of trading cultivation materials with me, the Demon King of Canglan Mountain."

"Master Demon King, can you invite the elders of the Demon King Palace to come?"

Jiang Jiyu spoke. He seemed very restrained since he entered the valley. His bloodline felt like a towering mountain in front of the Witch Dragon King.

After receiving the order, Jiang Jiyu took out the jade talisman for summons.

The Wu Jiao King tried the new equipment on his fair neck and felt that it was inappropriate. He then shook his head gently and said, "You guys stay here for a while. I will be back soon."

The Witch Dragon King has not returned yet, and there is another figure in the valley. He is a third-level demon king with furry fox ears, looking Shen Lian up and down with his eyes.

Jiang Jiyu also seemed a little restrained in front of this demon fox king.

"Meet Elder Hua."

Shen Lian also bowed to the new Fox King.

In order to facilitate the management of the demon clan in Canglan Mountain, the great demon king Canglan established the Demon King Palace. All the transactions of materials and resources in the mountain require the presence of the Demon King Palace to witness.

This elder Hua from the fox clan is a cultivator from the Demon King Palace.

The purpose of coming here is to witness this transaction and to collect a commission from the transaction.

Not long after, the Wushan Demon King flew out from the depths of the valley, his face was pale, and a bottle in his hand flew towards Shen Lian.

Shen Lian took the jade bottle and opened it to take a look. There was a crystal gold line wandering in the light golden dragon blood.

The essence in this dragon's blood is just a line of it, and cannot be considered a top-quality third-grade spiritual object.

But for Xiao Sanqian, this is enough.

It is considered good luck to be able to find a spiritual object that has reached the third-level upper-quality category.

"Human race, you need to swear an oath with your Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. If you use this precious blood to harm the Witch Dragon King, you will be doomed forever under the thunder of the sky."

When Elder Hua opened his mouth, a bronze flying dragon flew out from his hand with a flash of light and hung in the air.

The moment the bronze flying dragon appeared, Shen Lian immediately felt his heart turn cold.

"I seek the blood of the dragon in order to advance my own spiritual pet. I have absolutely no intention of murdering fellow Taoist Wu Jiao Wang."

Sensing the terrifying aura of the bronze flying dragon, Shen Lian quickly expressed his goodwill and swore an oath based on his own Taoism.

As for things like oaths, those who believe in them truly believe in them.

Those who don't believe it really take it as bullshit.

Coincidentally, Shen Lian is such a person who firmly believes in it.

"The third-grade high-quality dragon blood is priced at one million medium-quality spirit stones."

Ordinary third-grade low-quality items can easily cost around a million low-quality spirit stones, so everyone starts using medium-quality spirit stones when setting prices.

Moreover, the price fluctuation range of third-level spiritual objects is very wide, and it is normal to have a dozen more or less.

The reason why Elder Hua inspected the spiritual objects and appraised their prices was because the Demon King Palace would charge half of the spiritual stones from both the buyer and the seller according to the appraisal price.

In addition, Jiang Jiyu will also charge a half-cent commission, but of course he only dares to charge from the buyer.

Shen Lian fumbled in his storage ring for a while, and then took out two third-grade top-quality magic weapons.

These two magic weapons look quite new, but they are previous spoils of war that he refurbished, and are second-hand goods that are almost new.

Of course, even if they looked new, they could not escape careful inspection, otherwise he would not have taken out two of them.

I can only say that it is slightly better than the mid-range, but compared with the top-range, I can't say whether it is any worse or not.

After Elder Hua carefully inspected the magic weapons, he found that they were old and refurbished, with smooth panels and no hair. There were two magic weapons with cracks and gaps, which could barely be considered the worst third-grade upper-quality magic weapons.

After these words were spoken, the corner of Shen Lian's mouth twitched.

It was obvious that the refurbished one was as good as a new one, except that there were some problems with the spiritual restraint. It could still be used as a third-grade top-grade magic weapon.

"Okay, let's do this."

The Lich King didn't even look at the two third-grade top-grade magic weapons. Instead, he was very interested in the finger sleeves on his fingers.

"Old man Hua, this is for you."

As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in the Lich King's hand, and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones flew into Elder Hua's wide sleeves.

Seeing this, Shen Lian also took the same number of spirit stones and flew them into Elder Hua's sleeve.

Jiang Jiyu had already explained the rules to him clearly before he came.

In general, it can be exchanged for a portion of third-grade top-quality water dragon blood. After Sanqian advances to the third level, combined with its original bloodline, it is expected to raise its realm to the late third level.

However, according to the normal transaction price, including the three magic weapons including the finger ring, plus the commission of 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones from the Demon King Palace and Jiang Jiyu, the price is indeed a bit expensive.

But if you think about it again, third-grade top-quality dragon blood cannot be obtained through normal means.

Besides, Shen Lian didn’t feel like he was at a disadvantage. It only took some time to refurbish the magic weapon.

When Shen Lian took the precious blood jade bottle from Elder Hua, he clearly sensed that there was an additional green mark on the jade bottle.

With this mark, he can take the precious blood out.

Otherwise, even if it is hidden in a storage ring, it can be searched out.

After exchanging the dragon's blood, Shen Lian and Jiang Jiyu naturally said goodbye and left.

…

The Wu Jiao King yawned and waved his hand listlessly at Elder Hua, "Take these two magic weapons away. I like this finger sleeve so I'll keep it."

Elder Hua took the magic weapon that Shen Lian had exchanged earlier and put it into his sleeve with a wave of his hand.

"I will make a good record when I return. Two third-grade top-grade magic weapons are enough for you to have a good rest for four to five hundred years."

As he spoke, Elder Hua waved his sleeves, and the 50,000 middle-grade spirit stones that the Wu Jiao King had taken out earlier returned to the Wu Jiao King's hands.

"Then I can finally have some peace and quiet. This time is enough for me to advance to the fourth level."

Covering his pink mouth with his small hand, the Wu Jiao King blinked, "So I owe this fellow Taoist a favor. He sent me two third-grade high-quality magic weapons at once, which saved me a lot of trouble."

After muttering something, the Witch Dragon King looked at Elder Hua who had not moved yet.

"Why don't you leave? You still want me to take care of your meals."

"I'm leaving now."

Elder Hua shook his head and stepped back.

"Old Hua, remember to remember this clearly. I, the Wu Jiao King, presented two third-grade, top-grade magic weapons to the Great Demon King. In the future... you will have a share of the credit."

After mumbling something incoherently, the Witch Dragon King turned into a stream of light and rushed into the depths of the valley.

…

After leaving Leigu Mountain, Shen Lian and his companion began to head back.

However, Shen Lian thought again, that spotted fox dared to make such an estimate, so it must be a proxy, so that in the end he would be the only one to pay the commission.

…

In the blink of an eye, five months later.

Fatty Ding’s puppet shop.

"Lord, Lord, I...can I do this?"

Sanqian was digging in the bronze tripod, sticking his little head out to look at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian knocked on Sanqian's head.

"It's okay. If not, you don't even need to heat up the oil in the pan. I can just stew it in the big cauldron for you. It's worth my time and effort to get this treasure medicine for you."

ps: I’m begging for monthly tickets for a pitiful three thousand, otherwise I’ll be stewed.
