"They are really leaves, and they are really talismans!"
"How is this possible?"
"This is a miracle!"
A group of demons eagerly flipped through the leaves, exclaiming in admiration.
Quan Duo couldn't believe the scene before his eyes.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that She Mao Hai, after examining several leaf talismans, calmed down.
He first composed himself, then politely cupped his hands towards the proud little girl, who held her head high and swayed her body.
"Esteemed... esteemed City Lord. How can these leaves be traded?"
Hearing She Mao Hai inquire about the price, Xiao Kui quickly put on a serious expression, acting like a little adult.
"Hmph~ These are not ordinary leaves, these are talismans!
Talismans~ Talismans~ Talismans!
Important things are said three times."
"Mmm..."
Seeing Xiao Kui speak so earnestly and with a hint of anger on her face, She Mao Hai became a little nervous.
But he also found the little girl so cute, he really wanted to take her home.
"Then~ City Lord Xiao Kui, how much are these talismans?"
"First-grade attack talismans are one spirit stone each, defensive talismans are two spirit stones;
Second-grade attack talismans are ten spirit stones, defensive talismans are twenty spirit stones;
Third-grade attack talismans are one hundred spirit stones, defensive talismans are two hundred spirit stones.
Mmm~ If you trade with demon cores, there's a 30% discount."
Xiao Kui said earnestly, counting on her fingers. This was the price set by Yang Hong.
Yang Hong had consulted with Lan Fang Xuan and others about this price, which was at least half lower than the prices on human islands outside.
However, for these leaves, as long as the transformed tree and flower demons were nourished by his [Sweet Rain Technique], growing thousands of leaves a day was a small matter.
Even without Yang Hong's [Sweet Rain Technique], these leaves would naturally grow about ten per day.
Of course, it was necessary for these tree and flower demons to have mastered the corresponding talisman drawing techniques before they could grow the corresponding leaf patterns on their own leaves, forming talismans.
This business was virtually cost-free.
Moreover, by growing talismans, they could also practice the spells corresponding to the talismans and comprehend the Dao and rules corresponding to those spells.
It was a win-win situation.
"This price is indeed very cheap, but the grades of these talismans seem..."
Upon hearing Xiao Kui's quote, She Mao Hai was tempted.
But in business, it was common to start with high prices and negotiate down.
Bargaining was still necessary.
"Hmph~ Hmph~ If I hadn't failed to find the inheritance for fourth-grade talismans, I could draw sixth-grade talismans."
To She Mao Hai's question, Xiao Kui interpreted it as him looking down on the low grade of these talismans.
Therefore, she also looked helpless and indignant.
"City Lord Xiao Kui, you can draw sixth-grade talismans?"
Hearing Xiao Kui's words, She Mao Hai seized upon another point.
"Hmph Hmph~ Of course."
Xiao Kui proudly lifted her head, looking a little haughty.
She Mao Hai's upright snake eyes rolled as he began to plot something mischievous.
"City Lord Xiao Kui, if I give you the inheritance for sixth-grade talisman crafting, what price are you willing to pay?"
"You have the inheritance for sixth-grade talisman crafting?
If you have the inheritance for sixth-grade talisman crafting, you can have whatever you want, even~ even...
Mmm, even if I don't have it, I can ask my master for it."
Xiao Kui's small eyes sparkled as she looked at the effeminate man before her, full of expectation.
As for what the other party wanted, and if her master didn't have it?
That wasn't her concern; at worst, her master would kill him.
Well~ it was the effeminate man in front of her who would be killed.
"Mmm? Anything?
Including cultivation techniques, spiritual items, and demon cores?"
She Mao Hai had suspected from the beginning that there was someone behind Flower Wood City, but he didn't expect to find out so easily with just a simple question.
"Mmm~ Mmm~ Yes, my master has a lot of things."
Xiao Kui and the transformed flowers and trees behind her, having been rapidly matured by Yang Hong, had the minds of about 10-year-old children after transforming.
Their appearances were also basically that of 10-year-old children.
However, their strength was not significantly affected.
It was just their minds, which truly affected their ability to handle matters.
"Then~ I want Heaven-grade cultivation techniques, do you have them?"
She Mao Hai asked with a lion's roar to test them.
"Heaven-grade cultivation techniques? Yes~ Yes~
Ke Wei's main cultivation technique is a Heaven-grade cultivation technique, which was taught by my master."
Xiao Kui first excitedly confirmed that her master had Heaven-grade cultivation techniques, then her little eyebrows furrowed.
"What? Really?
Do you really have Heaven-grade cultivation techniques?"
She Mao Hai's snake eyes widened threefold in surprise, almost bulging out of their sockets.
He had even begun searching his storage ring with his divine sense.
He might not have killed many humans, but he had captured quite a few to sell on Crazy Snake Island.
When capturing humans, he naturally didn't forget to collect spoils.
Among those spoils were many jade slips and inheritances.
"Of course, as long as you have something that satisfies me, I can offer you a surprising product."
Seeing She Mao Hai's reaction, Xiao Kui's small eyes lit up, and she patted her slender chest, assuring him.
"This~ I'll look for it."
She Mao Hai was stunned by the unexpected surprise and didn't immediately doubt Xiao Kui's words, but rather carefully searched his storage ring.
"I seem to have some inheritance of talisman crafting as well."
"I should have some jade slips confiscated from humans, I'll look too."
"I remember I seem to have an inheritance of artifact refining here, I wonder if it can be traded?"
Not only She Mao Hai was excited, but his subordinates were also thrilled.
Even if they couldn't exchange for a Heaven-grade cultivation technique, just a Earth-grade cultivation technique would be a huge profit.
The vast majority of demons inherited Yellow-grade cultivation techniques, and a few exceptionally talented demons might inherit Black-grade cultivation techniques.
Only the legendary royal demons with divine beast bloodlines had a very small chance of inheriting Earth-grade cultivation techniques.
Heaven-grade cultivation techniques were truly legendary among demons.
Even those royal demons with hundreds of thousands or millions of years of inheritance had never heard of anyone possessing Heaven-grade cultivation techniques.
Therefore, none of these demons doubted Xiao Kui's words immediately, but instead searched their belongings.
Of course, Xiao Kui's innocent and cute appearance also played a role.
At this moment, beneath her innocent and cute exterior, Xiao Kui was also actively strategizing.
She had already notified Hua Xinlei, who was in charge today, through her divine sense.
She was worried that she might not be able to handle it herself.
After receiving Xiao Kui's notification, Hua Xinlei, knowing there might be many human skills involved, thought for a moment and then used his newly learned Earth Escape Technique to fly directly to the central city of Human Path Island.
"Many human jade slips?
Perhaps even inheritance of sixth-grade talisman crafting?
This is a big fish!"
Upon hearing this news, Yang Hong also became excited, grabbed Hua Xinlei, and used Earth Escape to head towards Flower Wood City.
Sixth-grade immortal cultivation arts were extremely rare, even in the center of the Ten Thousand Demon Islands region.
If he saw them, he wouldn't let them go.
Even if it meant killing them to silence them!
Therefore, Yang Hong was also very excited at this moment.
However, to be cautious, he still completely concealed his cultivation and hid his aura within Hua Xinlei's aura.
Thirty breaths later, Yang Hong, carrying someone, arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion of Flower Wood City...
Underground.
He had to be careful, as Black Fish demons had been appearing in the nearby waters recently, and the Golden Star Black Fish clan might be searching for them.
