Chen Dadan didn't care about this grievance. Being ridiculed didn't hurt him at all. He just discovered a serious problem and said, "Zhao Liu, it seems your words are not working! Can you fulfill the conditions you promised me before?"
Zhao Liu said, "I'll tell the other shopkeepers right away that buying our red blood ginseng is a big deal, and they won't refuse."
After that, he said to Zhao Er and Zhao Si, "Mr. Chen agreed to come to help on one condition, that is, all the red blood ginseng in Baicao Valley is sold to him at the market price."
Purchasing all the red-blood ginseng at the market price is a big deal. Even if there is no help, the shopkeeper is happy to help and will treat customers as gods, so Zhao Liu is very confident.
But he still underestimated the ugliness of human nature. While it was true that there were big deals, that was only Zhao Liu's performance, and had nothing to do with other shopkeepers. So Zhao Er immediately said, "Selling all the Red Blood Ginseng to him is impossible. Someone at my Xian'an City branch has reserved 1,000 plants, so I must supply them first."
"I, Arbor City, have also ordered a thousand plants, so mine must be supplied first."
"The reward for inviting the foundation-building master to help me is two thousand red blood ginsengs, and they must be supplied to me first."
"So, your Piaomiao City branch can only get 100 plants. Just give them away!"
Zhao Liu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at them and said, "Okay, okay, you did this on purpose, didn't you? I must report this to headquarters and see how to punish you."
"Hahaha! All is up to you. We've done a great job in wiping out the monsters in Baicao Valley this time. Headquarters hasn't even had time to reward us yet, so why would we punish them?"
"Yes, Zhao Liu, hurry up and take the two kids who made up the numbers and go home! Don't wait until we've wiped out the monsters and then start licking your face and saying that even if you don't have any credit, you've still worked hard."
Zhao Liu returned to Chen Dadan with a dark face and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. I can't make the decision on this matter of the Red Blood Ginseng. To express my apology, I am willing to give you 100 Red Blood Ginseng plants for free as compensation."
How could Chen Dabing be interested in just a hundred red-blood ginseng plants? He needed thousands or tens of thousands of them.
Nan Huanuo said angrily, "How could those people be so abominable! I really want to go up and give them a sword."
Chen Dabao said, "Forget it. The Red Blood Ginseng is theirs. They have the right not to sell it."
"So what should we do now? We definitely can't help them exterminate the monsters anymore!"
Chen Dadan said, "Since we're already here, let's take a look! Don't you think they're a little too confident, as if they can definitely wipe out the monsters?"
Zhao Liu said, "According to reliable information, it's a group of little monsters that have taken over Baicao Valley. The most advanced one is at the Foundation Establishment stage. This time, the shopkeepers of other branches have invited many Foundation Establishment masters. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to successfully wipe out the monsters."
Chen Dadan said to Nan Huanuo: "Do you still remember what I said?"
Nan Huanuo said: "Remember, the master said that if nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be an accident."
Zhao Liu: “…”
Over there, the innkeeper of the Xian'an City branch began the pre-battle mobilization: "Fellow Daoists, thank you for coming to help. We at Zhaoji Treasure Pavilion will definitely honor the rewards we promised you. Now that everyone is gathered, let's set out immediately to flatten Baicao Valley."
"I'm already tired of waiting. Let's go and start the fight. Let's finish early and go back to sleep."
"You are already in the foundation-building stage, do you still need to sleep?"
"When I say sleep, I mean something else."
"Hahaha! You are so elegant, fellow Taoist."
This group of Foundation Establishment experts chatted and laughed as they entered Baicao Valley. Chen Dadan and Nan Huanuo wanted to follow them in, but Zhao Liu hurriedly said, "Lord City Lord, why don't we wait here? If they can't deal with the monster, we can take action. By then, there won't be any other shopkeepers to hinder us. This also proves that the monster is indeed powerful. Then, the conditions for hiring experts at Zhaoji Treasure Pavilion will naturally be greatly increased. Then, I can order all the aged Mr. Chens in Baicao Valley to be given to Lord City Lord free of charge as a reward."
Chen Dabing frowned, pointed at Zhao Liu and said, "You old man, you're not as honest as you look. Let's go in and take a look first!"
As soon as they stepped into the valley, it immediately became dark. Zhao Liu had an explanation for this, saying that materials like red blood ginseng grow in the shade of the forest and do not like sunlight, so the sky above the entire Baicao Valley was blocked from sunlight by a kind of floating cotton in the air.
Chen Dabing understood this very well, it was greenhouse vegetable cultivation technology!
Baicao Valley is indeed full of various medicinal herbs, among which red blood ginseng is the most common, because this medicinal herb is not delicate and easy to transplant, and its value is also very high.
What made Chen Dadan feel relieved was that these medicinal herbs were still intact. He was afraid that the monsters would take over and destroy these herbs.
In fact, his worries were unnecessary. The monsters had awakened their intelligence and behaved like humans. They would not damage valuable things without reason.
The entire valley was silent. The Foundation Establishment masters walking in front of them all wondered, "Where's the demon beast? Could it have heard we were coming to attack it and slipped away?"
One of the shopkeepers said, "No, my spies have been guarding outside and haven't seen the monster escape. It must be hiding inside."
"Just hide inside. We'll guard the exit outside and make sure no monster escapes."
“Hehehe!”
"You said what I wanted to say. We will guard the valley entrance and ensure that no human can escape."
At some point, a group of monsters appeared at the entrance of the valley. These monsters looked very strange and no one knew what kind of monsters they were.
Chen Dabing didn't know when the monster appeared behind him. He just felt that the strange laughter of "hehehe" was very stylish. Now he looked at the appearance of the monster and it was even more stylish.
Below its eyebrows, it has the appearance of a normal animal, with eyes, nose, and so on, but the forehead above its eyebrows is very high, extremely high, very round and large, and especially bright, shining brightly in the dark Baicao Valley.
"What kind of monster is this? It looks like a light bulb." Chen Dabing asked Nan Huanuo, a local.
Nan Huanuo was also confused: "I don't know either. I have never seen or heard of a monster of this shape."
Chen Dadan asked Zhao Liu: "Do you know?"
Zhao Liu said, "You already said it looks like a light bulb, why are you still asking me? These monsters have unknown origins and call themselves light bulbs. We call them lamp monsters."
"Lightbulb demon?" Chen Dadan said boldly, "But this world probably hasn't invented the lightbulb yet!"
He suddenly thought of something, took out his sunglasses and put them on, and also gave Nan Huanuo a pair to wear, saying, "It's better to take precautions before it happens. Since it dares to block the valley entrance and catch the turtle in the jar, it must have a way to win, maybe it's a natural magical power."
The foundation-building masters over there felt insulted. We came here to destroy the monsters, but it would have been fine if the monsters didn't run away, but they dared to block the valley entrance. This is outrageous. Let's see what we're capable of.
"Prepare to die! Stupid monster! A mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator leading a group of Qi Condensation Stage monsters thinks you can wipe out so many of us Foundation Establishment masters?"
