Chapter 611 Exchange Meeting
Shinan City is a small city, about a million miles south of the land of Shiyin.
On this day, in a private room of Piaoxiang Pavilion, the most famous restaurant in the city, there were more than a dozen unusually large armchairs sparsely placed, and half of the chairs were occupied by demons of various appearances.
Some of them were lazily lying in the armchairs, while others were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed and regulating their breathing. But the strange thing was that all of them had a sad look on their faces.
With a creak, the door of the private room was pushed open, and two figures, one tall and one short, walked in.
The short guy was only half the height of an average person and had a bloated body, but his eyes were full of intelligence. The tall guy next to him walked steadily, with a hint of coldness on his slightly handsome face.
As soon as the two came in, many demons in the room turned their attention to them.
"If I'm not mistaken, it must be the Fat Toad who has arrived. You are always the last one to arrive." Sitting on a certain armchair, a demon wrapped in a black robe taunted with his eyes closed.
"Hehe, Brother Wu, you only guessed half right, because I didn't come alone today." The short man chuckled, as if he didn't care about the teasing of the black-robed demon.
The black-robed demon opened his eyes upon hearing this, and after a glance at the fat toad, his gaze fell on the tall man next to him. The tall man was actually not very tall, just like an ordinary person, but because the fat toad was so short, he looked tall.
"My name is Lu Yuan, a casual traveler. I met fellow Daoist Chan on the road by chance. I heard that there is a small trade fair here, so I came here to try my luck. I hope you don't mind." The tall man saw everyone looking at him, smiled slightly, bowed slightly, looked around and said.
Because the six or seven demons here are not ordinary, and the worst one has reached the level of an early demon sect.
Although the demons in the room felt that Lu Yuan looked unfamiliar, no one expressed any dissatisfaction. Instead, most of them smiled kindly at Lu Yuan.
After all, Lu Yuan did not hide his strength, and the aura of a Half-Step Demon Lord was enough to make everyone present secretly fearful.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are too polite. There are only a few people attending the conference this time. With your joining, we may get some unexpected gains." At this time, a rough and hearty voice was heard outside the door again.
Then a burly man with a naked upper body and a fur skirt around his waist walked in from outside.
"My name is Nuyan, and I'm the host of this small trade fair. Nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Lu." The burly man bowed to Lu Yuan and smiled heartily.
Lu Yuan took a look at this person and found that although his aura was only at the late stage of the Demon Sect, he exuded a wild murderous aura, which was enough to show that this person's magical powers were by no means ordinary.
Lu Yuan was secretly alert in his heart, but smiled and said, "So it's Brother Nuyan. But judging from your aura, could it be that you are from the Violent Demon Clan?"
"Haha, I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lu could tell my origin at a glance. Could it be that he has seen other members of my clan?"
"Yes, I once had some interactions with a respected elder from the Explosive Demon Clan, so I was able to recognize your clan at a glance."
"Oh, yes. That senior's name is Baoang. I wonder if he is from the same branch as you, fellow Taoist?"
Nuyan's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and then he said with a slight smile on his face: "Senior Baoang is indeed a well-known figure in our clan, but he has been away from the clan for more than ten thousand years. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lu actually met him. I wonder if you can tell me where he is?"
"Senior Baoang is currently in Lanshuang City and is one of the owners of a local auction house called Wanbao." Lu Yuan had no grudges against Baoang, so there was naturally no need to hide anything.
"Thank you for telling me. When I have the chance someday, I will definitely visit this elder in my clan. Please take a seat now, the exchange will begin soon." Nu Yan clasped his fists towards Lu Yuan and politely invited Lu Yuan to sit down.
Next, it started with Nuyan. He took out several seemingly precious materials and other items and introduced them one by one.
Lu Yuan only glanced at it briefly and lost interest. Those things were indeed valuable to ordinary demon sect cultivators, but to him, they were not worth his attention at all.
What Lu Yuan is most concerned about now is that everyone present has the scent of corn borer of varying strengths.
About a month ago, after Lu Yuan received the news about the Jiuyou Hezun Pill from Guangyuanzhai, he decided to go to the place of the first seal to find out the situation after some consideration.
A few days ago, when Lu Yuan was passing by Shinan City, he happened to see Fat Toad being besieged by several magic beasts whose realm was no less than that of the Demon Sect. Because he was carrying the corpse of a high-level borer, Lu Yuan sensed the strong smell of borer on Fat Toad at that time.
Out of curiosity, Lu Yuan made a little effort to help him out.
The fat toad was so grateful that he insisted on inviting Lu Yuan to his cave in Shinan City to pay him back for his help.
Lu Yuan learned that Shinan City was very close to the place where the seal was first placed, so he happily went with them, ready to find out some information about the place where the seal was first placed.
Along the way, Lu Yuan also tried to hint at the origin of the moth smell on the fat toad, but this person was very smart and did not mention anything about the place of the first seal and the moth smell.
After arriving at the cave in the south city, he unexpectedly received a letter from his good friend inviting him to attend the trade fair, so the two rushed here.
While Lu Yuan remained silent, the trade fair did not go smoothly. Facing the various treasures that people took out one after another, few transactions were made. Even if there was an item that was favored, the two sides would quickly exchange it.
The entire transaction seemed extremely dull, with gloomy expressions on everyone's faces, as if they were not here to exchange things today.
In such a depressing atmosphere, in less than half an hour, no one took out anything to exchange with others.
At this time, everyone's eyes were more or less looking at Lu Yuan.
"I am just a casual cultivator. My wealth is not as rich as yours. Even if I have some unused items, they are all ordinary stuff. I won't show them off to you." Lu Yuan smiled embarrassedly, indicating that he had nothing to exchange.
"Alas, isn't it a slap in our faces when Fellow Daoist Lu said that? After all, our exchange meeting this time was indeed a bit shabby. This is mainly because many fellow Daoists have not arrived yet, otherwise it would definitely be more lively. I will definitely satisfy Fellow Daoist Lu next time." Nu Yan said with some shame.
"I'm afraid the next time won't be much better. Those guys who didn't come may have already found a way to deal with the invasion of moth spirit, and have long since left for South City to enjoy themselves." A demon with sharp horns on his head sitting in the front suddenly snorted coldly.
