Chapter 135: Chapter 97: Offering Strategies and Suggestions

The next morning she awoke to find all the fatigue and pain from the previous day had disappeared. The effectiveness of body refining not only improved her constitution but also expedited the healing of her muscles. Now she felt an inexhaustible strength throughout her body, and particularly when she walked, it was as if there was a cushion under her feet, making her steps light and springy. It appeared that Changtian’s Extreme Training Method was indeed very effective.

Last night, she had planted a new variety of Spirit Rice — Dream Millet seeds in the God Demon Prison, and from today she would start eating the new harvest. As she entered the Fifth Floor, she saw that the Dream Millet was already ripe.

The Divine Soil truly lived up to its reputation. The Spirit Rice that it cultivated was no longer in the sickly state of the seeds she held in her hand. Now the millet growing in the Divine Soil was plump, and when she casually plucked one and removed its husk, the grain inside was shiny and translucent red, resembling the finest Red Crystal.

She tried cooking a bowl to sample, and found that indeed the taste was even better than Cloud Fragrant Rice, with a richer surge of warmth after eating—it was already well known that millet was nutritionally superior to rice, especially as Dream Millet was a Fourth Grade Spirit Rice, inherently of a higher grade. The sixty Spirit Stones she spent were certainly not in vain.

Worthy of note, the demon corpses sent into the God Demon Prison yesterday had been used as a special feast for the soil. As a result, the color of the soil had turned from pale yellow to light red, looking well-fed and more welcoming of her arrival. According to Changtian, this little fellow’s absorption capacity was far from limited to this; during the peak days of the God Demon Prison, the color of the soil was purple-black, which was probably what they meant by "so red it turns black," right?

Next, she continued to collect demon corpses at the campsite of the Cloud Tiger Trading Team. Probably due to the advertisement effect from the previous day, the pile of demon corpses in the team’s warehouse was even higher than yesterday, with nearly over two hundred in total. Of course, she accepted them all with a smile and no qualms, thankful that her earnings from the previous day were substantial; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to afford the over 200,000 taels of silver. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity might take who knows how long to come by again. Of course, she also knew that these good days wouldn’t last, as in the following days, there would be fewer and fewer demon corpses available for collection.

After walking around the campsite a couple of times, she originally intended to find Zhang Sheng and his wife to deliver the Disguise Pills. But the clerks said that since entering Rock City, there had been no trace of the couple, just like at any previous supply city they had arrived at. In any case, they should show up when the camp moves out, so no one was inquiring much about their whereabouts. Missing along with them was Mr. Yan, who was even less noticeable.

Ning Xiaoxian did not find Zhang Sheng and his wife but accidentally caught a glimpse of a dejected Deng Hao. He sat in the room designated for the leader, lost in thought, with a full cup of cold tea in front of him, obviously untouched. Tea was precious and Deng Hao particularly fond of it, so this was an unusual situation, clearly indicating his troubles were not ordinary.

The Cloud Tiger merchant team had collected over two hundred demon corpses for her, and she recognized the favor they had done for her, so she went in to express her thanks. Deng Hao was happy to see her; being a practitioner himself, he could tell from the way Ning Xiaoxian walked that her kung fu had at least reached small success. He felt that the girl before him had changed a lot, with more secrets and becoming increasingly harder to see through.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the smile on Deng Hao’s face began to fade, signaling he had returned to his concerns. She should have taken her leave by then; after all, she and Changtian believed in not meddling in affairs unnecessarily. Yet, she couldn’t help asking: "Brother Deng, if there’s something troubling your mind, feel free to share with me."

She did not have the ill intention to ask him "what’s troubling you, tell me so I can feel better about it."

Deng Hao had been so troubled the past few days that he couldn’t even eat or sleep properly; discussing back and forth with several Deputy Leaders also failed to yield any good ideas. Now seeing her smiling and asking, he thought what could a girl not even twenty years old understand, and intended to brush it off with some pleasantries, but the words on his tongue after several turns unexplainably became: "It should be a good thing actually, but I’m hesitating and undecided."

Once he had started talking, there was no stopping anymore.

It turned out that after arriving at Rock City, he received an invitation from the Qingfeng General Trading Company. It was an official invitation from the Qingfeng General Trading Company, inviting him to join in their "magnificent joint effort." This trading company was so large it ranked within the top ten in the entire Nan Zhanbu Continent and had over forty branches across the whole continent, definitely a big shot among trading firms.
