The Master of Beasts

Grinding Stone Demon: A Spiritual Beast resembling a sword sharpening stone, its main ability is to enhance the sharpness of Spirit Swords. Its combat power is unknown, but its defensive power is decent.

"Fine, just these two then. Get me more; I need to prepare for a few days." Chen Jiuge gave Nian Yu a sum of Spirit Stones, which should be enough to buy a hundred Sword Scabbard Demons and Grinding Stone Demons.

Inside his Personal Cave Heaven, upon carefully examining the Bloodlines of the two kinds of Spiritual Beasts, Chen Jiuge discovered that, aside from their main Bloodline, the other Bloodlines were quite mixed, and all of them were of the Gold Element.

Since their function is to enhance Sword Qi and the sharpness of Spirit Swords, let's develop in this direction. I don't have much time left here, so let's drop a bombshell and hopefully open up a quick market.

As they absorbed other Gold Element Bloodlines, the originally simple bodies of the Sword Scabbard Demons began to shine with a golden light, looking far more appealing—an improvement of more than just one grade. And this was only at Third Rank; if they were to break through later, they would undoubtedly look extremely cool. I don't believe those Sword Cultivators could resist.

As for the Grinding Stone Demon, this Spiritual Beast was a bit pitiful. After absorbing Bloodlines, its originally pure white and jade-like body turned pitch-black. Chen Jiuge doubted whether those Sword Cultivators would be put off by it.

Forget it. I've already bought so many. Let's strengthen them first and then head to the marketplace tomorrow to see how things go.

While Chen Jiuge was working overtime, Da Bai looked at the freshly refined sharp swords and chuckled sinisterly, "Just wait and see, this will be the start of my rise as Da Bai, the Artifact Refining Master!"

Placing strangely shaped Sword Qi into the Sword Washing Pool, Da Bai continued refining swords for his rise to prominence.

As for Yue Meng, as a Seventh Rank Alchemist, concocting some Elixirs that aided Sword Cultivators was indeed easy for her.

Xiao Qing, in the void, watched Chen Jiuge's entire nurturing process. She couldn't understand why the Spiritual Beasts grew stronger with just a touch from him. Indeed, as an inexperienced Sword Spirit, Xiao Qing was too young mentally to comprehend how astounding this all was.

One could only say that Chen Jiuge was indeed fortunate to have met such an ignorant Sword Spirit, thereby avoiding many troubles.

This time, Chen Jiuge didn't plan to buy a shop; after all, it was too expensive. The last one, in Sea Pearl Immortal City, had been a gift from Tian Yiyi, and he couldn't possibly stay in one place indefinitely.

As for the Same-Hearted Enterprise currently managed by Li Qiwen, it was still operating within the Myriad Beasts Domain. Leaving the domain would likely take many more years.

Every Immortal City had a large number of Loose Cultivators. Once their numbers reached a certain threshold, a marketplace specifically for Loose Cultivators to set up stalls would appear.

Many Disciples from large families enjoyed going to the Loose Cultivator market to hunt for bargains, which gave them a great sense of satisfaction.

The people of Myriad Swords Mountain might neglect managing the Myriad Swords Domain, but this varied by area.

Fengming Immortal City, home to Heavenly Sword Mountain, was an exception. No Cultivators dared to fight or engage in forced sales within the city. Anyone who broke these rules would be directly cut down by the Law Enforcement Disciples of Myriad Swords Mountain.

These fanatics rarely asked about one's background. Even if they did, you had to withstand their first attack; otherwise, you wouldn't even get the chance to state your connections.

Thus, the marketplace Chen Jiuge saw was peaceful and harmonious.

After paying thirty middle-grade Spirit Stones, Chen Jiuge smoothly obtained three contiguous stalls.

"Great! Let's start setting up the stall now!" Chen Jiuge was somewhat excited. It seemed this was the first time he'd ever set up a stall, whether in this life or his past one.

The Sword Scabbard Demons and Grinding Stone Demons were small, so a single ten-square-meter stall could hold many. Furthermore, Yue Meng's Elixirs didn't require much space, so her display effectively freed up the equivalent of half a stall's area.

"Da Bai, is this a sword?" Chen Jiuge was shocked to see Da Bai take out a sword the size of a door panel, with small wings on its sides?!

"This is the Flying Wings Sword I created!" Da Bai said proudly. "Using it for sword flight, you can not only stand but also lie down. When you're tired and want to sleep, just load Spirit Stones into the small wings, and it can fly by itself!"

Looking at the many strange and bizarre swords, Chen Jiuge's expression grew increasingly peculiar. What on earth are all these things?

The three of them arrived rather early. The marketplace was not yet lively, and the stalls on either side of them were still empty.

Feeling a bit bored, Jiao Yue, with Chen Jiuge's permission, took some Spirit Stones and went off to play with Nian Yu.

Zi Jing was currently in the Grotto Heaven taking care of Mi Qi, while Xiao Qi lay in Yue Meng's arms, the two of them whispering to each other.

An hour later, their stalls finally got some business.

A figure in a white robe approached. They wore a little powder on their face, and their chest was slightly overdeveloped. Definitely a Female Cultivator disguised as a man, and from a large family too. A plump sheep! Chen Jiuge concluded.

"Fellow Daoist, come take a look! My swords here are absolutely the most unique in Fengming Immortal City!" Da Bai bellowed, energetically waving the door-sized Flying Wings Sword.

The Cultivator shot Da Bai a disdainful look and walked over to Chen Jiuge's stall.

Lin Ziyuan had just finished cultivating a new Divine Skill and was in a good mood, deciding to stroll around the Loose Cultivators' marketplace.

She quickened her pace towards a very cute little elf, but when she came closer, she saw some weirdo actually selling door-sized Flying Swords. Doesn't he know that Flying Swords are famous for their agility and speed?

"HISS! Are these Sword Scabbard Demons and Grinding Stone Demons?" Lin Ziyuan was a bit shocked as she looked at the Spiritual Beasts on Lin Jiuge's stall, not even caring about the little elf that was close at hand anymore.

Lin Ziyuan grabbed a Sword Scabbard Demon gleaming with golden light, an overwhelming wave of shock surging through her. As Chen Jiuge noticed her chest heaving significantly, he felt that this Female Cultivator's true gender was already obvious. Should he outright expose her?
