"Sir, you have good taste. This is a young fox demon from Qingqiu. If you are wealthy enough and willing to feed her with spirit stones, she will be able to transform into a human form when she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage. She will absolutely be a stunning beauty."
Nan Huanuo immediately felt that the little fox was not cute and said, "Sir, we don't keep spiritual pets."
The owner of the Spirit Pet Shop had long noticed their lavish spending and was trying hard to sell them, "Spirit Pets can do more than just transform into beautiful women. Some Spirit Pets can also comprehend innate magical powers during their training. As we all know, the innate magical powers of demons are very powerful. If you're lucky enough to comprehend an offensive innate magical power, your combat power as a spirit pet owner will instantly soar, and the spirit stones you've invested in feeding them will be fully recovered."
Chen Dadan was somewhat curious about this. He had previously witnessed the innate magical powers of the Thunder Bull and the Light Demon King, which were likely offensive in nature. They were indeed very powerful, and even divine weapons could not restrain them. So he asked, "Are innate magical powers easy to comprehend?"
Before the shopkeeper could boast, Nan Huanuo said, "Sir, don't be fooled by this unscrupulous shopkeeper. If the demon race's innate magical powers were easy to comprehend, then the human race would have been wiped out by the demon race long ago."
The shopkeeper wasn't angry either. He continued to smile and try to sell the fox: "It's true that innate magical powers are difficult to comprehend, but it depends on whether the pet's owner is willing to spend a fortune feeding it with spirit stones. Furthermore, it depends on the pet's bloodline. The nobler the bloodline, the greater the chance of comprehending it. This fox happens to have a noble bloodline, the bloodline of the demon king."
Chen Dadan was surprised and said, "Can you catch a fox cub with the bloodline of the Demon King?"
The shopkeeper said, "That's right. A group of herbalists with good cultivation went deep into the abyssal forest. Only with good luck could they catch a high-quality spiritual pet."
It turns out that catching spirit pets is also a source of income for herbalists. Chen boldly asked, "What do you think of the bloodline of spirit pets?"
The shopkeeper said, "Look at the color of the fur. Purple represents nobility. It just so happens that the Qingqiu Fox King is also a purple fox, so it is very likely that he has the bloodline of the Demon King."
Chen Dabao shook his head. It was unreliable to judge a fox's bloodline based solely on its fur color. To verify whether the shop owner was unscrupulous, he continued, "So how much is this little fox with the demon king's bloodline?"
The shopkeeper held up a finger and said, "One hundred thousand spirit stones."
Chen Dabing chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, my wife is afraid that I will be bewitched by a vixen, so she doesn't allow me to keep a spirit pet."
The shopkeeper said, "If you think it's too expensive, you can bargain for a lower price. This is truly a spirit pet of the Demon King's bloodline. I guarantee you won't be cheated or taken advantage of."
Chen Dabing ignored him and pulled Nan Huanuo out of the spirit pet shop. It was already tiring to support thirteen beauties, and now it would be too stressful to support a vixen who ate spirit stones!
When he walked out of the spirit pet shop, he accidentally glanced at the little fox and found that its beautiful big eyes were also looking at him, with a pitiful look in its eyes.
When they walked out of the pet shop, Nan Huanuo's face flushed red, and he said shyly, "Sir, who did you say I was?"
Chen Dabing touched his head and said, "It's just a temporary solution to get rid of the unscrupulous store."
Nan Huanuo said, "I know, but my cultivation is so low that I'm afraid I won't have the chance to become your wife."
Chen Dadan was very surprised. What does low cultivation have to do with becoming my wife? Before he could ask, he heard a voice.
"The time has come. The bargaining meeting will begin. Please come in, all the business owners and industry leaders who have come from afar."
A dignified old man stood on a high platform in the center of the square. Someone said, "The city lord personally presides over the bargaining meeting every month, which shows how much he values it."
Ouyang Ming, the lord of Tianya Haijiao City, has reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and is considered a powerful figure in the area.
As the bargaining session began, the shopkeepers of the major chambers of commerce gathered outside entered one after another and looked for seats. Chen Dadan and Nan Huanuo also entered.
Because of the incident of impersonating the shopkeeper just now, the shopkeepers of the major trading companies all had a bad impression of Chen Dabing, especially the fat shopkeeper with big ears, who said sarcastically: "A casual cultivator, it's okay to pretend to be the shopkeeper just now, but now he wants to do it too. I'm afraid he doesn't know there is a capital verification step!"
Another said, "In the early days of the bargaining session, I don't know how many independent cultivators entered under false names, but ended up being laughed at during the capital verification and thrown out by the city lord."
"Let's just wait and see the joke! The city lord is never lenient towards those who break the rules."
These people were talking loudly, and everyone heard it. They couldn't help but look at Chen Dabing, even the city lord Ouyang Ming was no exception.
Chen Dadan felt guilty under the gaze of everyone and asked, "Does the bargaining meeting require only the Chamber of Commerce owner to be eligible to participate?"
City Lord Ouyang Ming said, "That may not be the case. As long as you can pass the capital verification process of 10,000 spirit stones, you will be eligible to participate."
Chen Dabing breathed a sigh of relief, found a place to sit down, and said, "The bargaining meeting is so grand, but there is not even tea, snacks or fruit plates. Isn't that too stingy!"
Ouyang Ming was stunned. He hadn't prepared these things before because immortal cultivators didn't need them. But just because they didn't need them didn't mean they shouldn't be prepared. It was a matter of appearance. So he nodded and said, "Young Taoist friend, your words make sense. I'll have my servants prepare them immediately."
Soon, all the tea, snacks and fruit plates that Chen Dadan mentioned were in front of each participant.
The shopkeeper who had just made the sarcastic remark sneered, "He has no right to sit here yet he demands so much. I wonder how he'll end up."
Next, the capital verification began. Each participant took out a storage bag, and people from the City Lord's Mansion came to check it.
"Manager Zhang of Zhangji Baibao Pavilion, please verify your capital of 50,000 spirit stones."
"Zhen, the shopkeeper of Zhen's Treasure Pavilion, is verifying the capital of 40,000 spirit stones."
…
The fat, big-eared man was none other than Shopkeeper Zhang. He was planning to buy more goods this time. Fifty thousand spirit stones made him a big customer, and he couldn't help but show a smug look on his face. Someone immediately praised him, "Shopkeeper Zhang, your business is booming! It's getting bigger and bigger."
Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile, "No, no, Shopkeeper Zhen is not bad either, and he is making a lot of money."
"Chen Dadan, a free man, has a capital verification of 300,000 spirit stones."
This voice made the shopkeepers who were flattering each other pause. Wasn't Chen Dabing the lone man who had just pretended to be the head shopkeeper of Pinduoduo Trading Company? The other shopkeepers were all waiting to see him make a fool of himself during the capital verification process! How could he be so rich? In comparison, these big shopkeepers only had 40,000 to 50,000 spirit stones, which made them a laughing stock.
Such a large sum of money impressed the City Lord. He bowed to Chen Dadan and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is worth a lot of money. Please place more orders and support the bargaining meeting."
Chen Dabao replied, "That's exactly what I meant."
The bargaining session then began. City Lord Ouyang Ming said, "Before the meeting begins, let me explain the rules. First, half of the purchase price must be paid on the spot as a deposit upon agreement. Second, delivery and the balance must be settled within two weeks of the meeting. If either party breaches the contract, the deposit will be used as a penalty. Do you all understand?"
"I understand." All the big managers said.
