Chapter 85: Chapter 72: Food for Everyone

It’s just several hundred taels of silver, there’s no need for silver notes, so this time Deng Hao gave gold ingots. After converting 570 taels of snowflake silver into gold and packing it in a bag, it was still heavy and had a real sense of quality.

"Ah, my treasure!" Ning Xiaoxian hugged the bag of silver tightly to her chest, even crushing the little rabbit, fully displaying her true nature as a money-grubber.

This was her first pot of gold earned in the Otherworld through her own abilities! Although she had previously sold Spirit Jade and earned several thousand taels of silver, that stuff belonged to Shi Jishan, and selling it didn’t feel all that significant. How could it compare to the joy of holding money earned by her own hands?

As for why she didn’t bargain with Deng Hao? She had been with the merchant team for nearly a month now and didn’t feel as unfamiliar with this leader Deng as at the start. Besides, there were plenty of opportunities for cooperation ahead. Isn’t it better for everyone to be polite and have more fruitful interactions in the future? Business is business, the more happily you talk, the more you earn.

"Now do you see the benefits of knowing Alchemy?" He must be the most pathetic Divine Beast in history, having to use incentives to coax someone into learning Alchemy.

"I know, I know!" She nodded vigorously, like pounding garlic.

"Then why aren’t you hurrying in? Today’s evening lesson isn’t yet finished. Only after completing it can you start practicing the Small Peiyuan Pill tomorrow."

She cheerfully returned to God Demon Prison, without any complaints, and began refining the second batch of Quhuang Powder. The stock of this medicine had already been mostly sold to Deng Hao, so she needed to make some more for use.

With a figure of silver leading the way, her concentration was unprecedentedly sharp, whether it was the precision of using the ingredients or the chances of successfully refining the medicine increased greatly. Changtian watched, continuously stroking his forehead, wondering why God Demon Prison chose such a master. "Thank goodness I planned on having her understand Demon Refining Technique, otherwise with her emotional desires ten times more abundant than normal humans, practicing the Human Clan’s cultivation method, she might go berserk in no time."

"What exactly is this?" An hour later, after all the elixirs were refined, she held up the necklace given by Changling and asked.

"The tooth of a Mist Hidden Rat. And it has been ritualized." Knowing she would be utterly confused, he launched into a Changtian-styled explanation, "It’s a very peculiar demon, looking like a guinea pig, naturally timid and cowardly, never fights with other demon beasts."

A demon of this sort in the Demon Clan? Not fighting with other demons, how could it survive? This terrifying world isn’t the kind to spare you if you don’t provoke others.

He saw through her thoughts in an instant: "Mist Hidden Rat has a unique gift—it can retract and release all its demon energy at will. If it chooses to, it wouldn’t leak even a bit of its demon energy." Demon energy is the standard to measure a demon’s strength. Usually, even if one intends to conceal it, it’s almost impossible to hide completely; however, the higher the demon’s level, the better their ability to contain their aura, and some giant demons, standing next to you, would seem no different from ordinary humans. Not to mention Changtian who has formed an External Body.

Mist Hidden Rat, like the little bat demon, is an exception; its talent is suppression. If it wants, it can disguise itself as a regular mouse in the mud without drawing the attention of any powerful beings.

"So this tooth also possesses that function? It can allow the wearer to conceal their demon energy?" She deduced further, "But what does this have to do with me?"

"In a few days, you’ll complete your physical transformation and begin absorbing Divine Power. But as a beginner, you won’t be able to conceal or release your energy at will, so you must use it to hide your aura."

"Wearing this, others will see me just like a mortal?" Is this thing really that useful? But why are the organs left behind by these demons always strange parts, either eyes or teeth?

"Everything has its limits, this is no exception. This tooth of a Mist Hidden Rat has been ritually refined by someone, but the technique wasn’t great, so it can only deceive the senses of demons below the Divine Refining Stage." Compared to that, he was more curious about how someone managed to find a Mist Hidden Rat, a demon rat that doesn’t reveal its demon energy. Such an item, although not as pricey as a magic artifact, still holds practical value as a small prop. Since it made it to the market, its previous owner is probably no longer in this world.

"Divine Refining Stage? I remember demons cultivate in stages like Qi-gathering, Transformation, Great Success, Divine Refining, Returning to Void, Crossing Tribulation, and Harmonization, right? Being able to fool demons below Divine Refining Stage is already quite impressive." She had never even seen a Divine Refining Stage demon.
