The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!

"Alright, considering the human gentleman's favor, come to the Metropolis by the end of the month, and I can arrange to put you on next month's trade list."

Shi Tiantian said.

"Thank you so much."

Bai San said with surprise.

Once there's one, there can be two; as long as this trade goes smoothly, they could become regular partners with the Stone Spirit Clan.

The Stone Spirit Clan has occupied the Ten Thousand Great Mountains for countless years, accumulating unquantifiable treasures, and they strictly follow rules, offering great benefits in business.

The Bai Family always wanted to open up this channel, but while the Stone Spirit Clan is rule-abiding, they're also very rigid, sometimes not adding a new partner for a century. Unexpectedly, being a guide this time brought unexpected rewards.

"At that time, thirty percent of the transaction amount will be given to Mr. Liu as commission."

Bai San said with a smile.

"Brother Bai San is generous."

Liu Zheng accepted graciously.

Though thirty percent commission seems high, as a public relations fee, it's not high at all.

Moreover, since it's a percentage, the larger the transaction amount, the more Liu Zheng earns.

If Shi Tiantian wants him to earn more, naturally the transaction amount would be increased, and the Bai Family would also make more.

Shi Tiantian wins, Liu Zheng wins, the Bai Family wins—wins all around.

"Miss Stone Spirit, do Earth Dragons have excrement?"

Doctor Nile joined the conversation.

"Yes, their manure is great for growing flowers. If Mr. Mummy wants, I do have some with me."

Shi Tiantian took out a clay jar from a skull, filled with dark, blocky manure.

The manure was quite dry but had a thick, oily sheen upon examining closely.

Liu Zheng cautiously sniffed it, only catching a bit of fishiness, but no foul odor.

"This is air-dried Earth Dragon manure, which is easy to preserve. Just dissolve it in water; a thumbnail-sized piece can replace a cart of fertilizer, even the sanitation department buys it from us."

Shi Tiantian said proudly.

"Miss Stone Spirit, can I buy your Earth Dragon manure?"

Doctor Nile asked.

"Sure."

Shi Tiantian replied.

"Thank you very much. And as for the price?"

"I don't really need money. Can you use that Scarab to transform all this manure, and we each take half of the transformed medicinal manure?"

Shi Tiantian said.

"That's not a problem at all."

Doctor Nile readily agreed.

After reaching an agreement, he directly pricked his finger, letting his dark blood drip onto the Blue Sapphire Sacred Beetle.

A faint light flashed, and the Blue Sapphire Sacred Beetle came alive, crawling into the clay jar and starting to munch away.

Doctor Nile then tore off a piece of his bandage to seal the jar's opening.

"Indeed, the closer the connections, the richer the treasures."

He remarked an old saying from his hometown.

These days following Liu Zheng around, it had been a bit troublesome, but he had gained quite a few good things.

The Metropolis was full of treasures, but Doctor Nile had always kept a low profile, never having the chance to confirm this.

"How much change can you bring? Young delivery man."

He looked at Liu Zheng with a gaze difficult to interpret.

"I'm full. When testing the medicine later, let Niu Daji try it."

Liu Zheng promptly became alert.

"No need to test it; I can tell the efficacy by taste. This medicinal manure is my unique offering, usually too precious to use even for treating illnesses. You're barking up the wrong tree, kid."

Doctor Nile retorted.

"It's 'barking at Lv Dongbin, can't recognize a good-hearted person.' Besides, if it's that good, why didn't you use more when cutting a hemorrhoid in the sewer last time?"

He rolled his eyes.

"Manure is manure, medicinal manure is medicine, how can they be the same?"

Doctor Nile said righteously.

"Hehe."

Liu Zheng couldn't be bothered to argue against his double standards.

"Uh? Mr. Liu, could you stop the car for a moment?"

Bai San, observing the nearby terrain, exclaimed in surprise.

"Okay. Lao Si, stop the car."

Liu Zheng commanded.

"Alright, Mr. Liu."

Lao Si immediately stepped on the brakes.

Bai San took out a roll of tanned hedgehog skin from the medicine chest and spread it open.

The slightly yellowish-white surface was blank, yet he observed it with intense focus.

"Mr. Liu, may I have a word with you privately?"

After a while, he put away the hedgehog skin and asked.

"What's the matter?"

"Some secrets should not be shared with an audience."

Bai San shook his head slightly.

"Alright. You all stay put. I'll be right back."

Liu Zheng instructed.

"Yes."

Everyone acknowledged.

Getting off the vehicle, Bai San led Liu Zheng to a spot over a hundred meters from the armored vehicle before stopping.

But that wasn't all; he directly took paper and pen from the medicine chest, indicating that speaking still wasn't safe enough in his mind.

"Mr. Liu, are you interested in the Millennium Cold Jade Spring?"

Bai San wrote on the paper and handed the paper and pen to Liu Zheng.

"Millennium Cold Jade Spring? What's it used for?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"For cultivators practicing cold path techniques, it's very nourishing. If combined with hot medicinal ingredients and refined into an elixir over a low flame, even ordinary people can use it to enhance health and prolong life."

"Moreover, it's said that the Millennium Cold Jade Spring is a top material for Artifact Refining, though among the five families outside the pass, we are not skilled in Artifact Refining, so we've only heard about it, never practiced it."

Bai San explained.

"The place must be very hidden, right?"

"Exactly. The Millennium Cold Jade Spring is located in a cultivator's cave. That cultivator set up an Array to block outside perception. An ancestor of the Bai Family accidentally discovered this cave when he went mad after consuming toxic mushrooms."
