Chapter 119: Chapter 89 Guest-Starring as the Money Scattering Child

"After all, it is a medicine shop run by mortals," Changtian said, "Let’s go to the mutual market. It’s time to sell those medicines."

However, her next destination was not the mutual market, but the encampment of the Cloud Tiger Trading Team in the tea house district. She had asked Deng Hao to do something yesterday, and now she needed to hasten to see the results.

As expected, Team Leader Deng was stationed at the camp, but He Xiaojiu and the whistle were nowhere to be seen. Xiao Jiu had probably gone to find food, but the whistle had been somewhat mysterious since entering Rock City. Fortunately, during this time in the city, Deng Hao had been very lenient in his management; as long as no one committed serious misdeeds, he would not interfere.

"I’ve been waiting for you a long time. I didn’t expect that in just half a day’s work, so much has been gathered," Deng Hao said while speaking with other merchant teams. Upon seeing Ning Xiaoxian, he only managed to briefly greet her before sending Aer to take her to the warehouse to fetch the goods.

Aer was very honest, but also clever—he only opened the warehouse door and let her enter to fetch the items herself. Boss Deng said that this girl had some abilities, and she could take those things away. As for how to take them, that was never within his concern.

Just as Ning Xiaoxian entered the warehouse, she couldn’t help but shiver—it was so cold! She estimated that the temperature in here must be down to minus five or six degrees Celsius. Although it was already September and the weather outside had not cooled down, even Mountain City like Rock City was hot enough to kill someone in the afternoon. To prevent the items in the warehouse from going bad, Deng Hao had sealed the warehouse door and posted many Ice Talismans here. Of course, due to Ning Xiaoxian’s goods, he might have added a few more...

However, even the freezing cold could not hide the pungent stench of blood. As she walked to the very back of the warehouse, there were no boxes here—the ground was silently piled into a mountain—with all kinds of demon corpses.

Indeed, what Ning Xiaoxian had asked Deng Hao to do was to collect the demon corpses brought by the various merchant teams!

This year was different from the past, as most merchant teams encountered demons obstructing their way to Rock City. Those who ultimately triumphed and arrived here had one or two demon corpses more or less in hand.

The corpses of demons were very valuable in themselves; most merchant teams were willing to bring their spoils up the mountain in hopes of getting a good price in the goods trade. What’s more, during the process of slaying demons, personnel and animals were often damaged, making it even more necessary to recover some investment.

If the Bear Demon that the Cloud Tiger Trading Team had killed hadn’t been contaminated with poison, its disassembled parts would have no problem selling for tens of thousands of taels of silver. Claws, spikes, fur, and even unexpected parts of other demons might have special purposes when fallen into the hands of Artifact Refiners. However, the parts that Artifact Refiners could use were limited and once dug out, the rest of the demon corpses would be of no use—not every demon corpse is like the Bear Demon with edible flesh.

Ning Xiaoxian had her eyes set on this market. She asked Deng Hao to collect demon corpses—whether they were missing arms or legs, no matter how mangled, as long as it was a demon corpse, it was to be accepted without error. You guys can dig out the valuable parts from the demon carcasses, Granny only wants what remains, so naturally, the price would be that of buying scrap. But for most merchant teams, being able to sell demon carcasses that were originally meant to be discarded was profitable, why not do it?

Deng Hao did not know what she wanted to collect these for, but he had gradually become used to the girl’s surprising moves, to the point that he couldn’t even be bothered to ask anymore.

So now, the corpses piled in front of her were of all sorts, grotesquely shaped, and some were even what one would call disgusting. If it had been two months ago, she would have thrown up her dinner before seeing all this, but now, she just stood there very calmly, counting the number of the demon corpses.

It must be said that habit is a scary thing. It makes you lower your guard and become increasingly indifferent to what was originally a shocking sight.

The assorted demon corpses laid before her took 15 minutes to count. The Cloud Tiger Trading Team really had strong working capabilities; in less than a day, they had already collected 82 demon corpses. Although their demonic powers and sizes varied, after all, they were still demons. In Ning Xiaoxian’s eyes, they were naked Spiritual Power, as the soil never was picky.

As she was still counting, the warehouse door opened again, and three clerks from the merchant team dragged two more demon corpses in. She recognized one of them—it was a Belly Drumming Frog, only this one was very small in size, completely incomparable to the imposing Great Demon she had encountered halfway up the mountain with the Cloud Tiger Trading Team.
