The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 736: Treasure Appraisal House

Xuansheng State, Muxin Town.

Inside Ji's Fur Shop, Pan Chengfeng slowly said, "You've been here for five years, so you must have done a lot of business. Have you ever seen a muscular middle-aged man selling low-level monster materials?"

The guy frowned and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Really? Is he tall and speaks in a low voice?"

Pan Chengfeng almost jumped up, but he couldn't suppress his excitement and asked hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes! This person is very important to me. Tell me everything you can remember!"

Ji Chengming thought for a while, then said: "The middle-aged uncle that the senior mentioned did come to our shop to sell some low-level monster materials.

But he only came twice and never showed up again, so I don’t know much about him.”

Pan Chengfeng was a little disappointed and thought to himself, "It seems that Uncle Niu sold it in batches to different shops in order to avoid attracting attention. There is not much information here, so I will go to the next shop and ask."

After Pan Chengfeng finished thinking, he asked, "Do you remember when was the last time you came to sell materials?"

Ji Chengming said, "About three years ago at noon, this uncle brought a second-level body-refining wolf demon to sell. Because it was a whole wolf, he bargained with me for a while. This left a deep impression on me."

Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "Uncle Niu left Licheng about six years ago, and came here to sell furs three years ago, so there is no problem with the timing.

It seems that this is not Uncle Niu’s first choice. There must be a fur shop that contacted Uncle Niu earlier. I have to continue to inquire and see if there can be any useful clues. "

Pan Chengfeng stood up and prepared to leave. He casually threw the crystal bead he had been playing with to Ji Chengming, and then reminded him: "This top-grade crystal bead is enough for you to cultivate to the Golden Core, and there is still more than enough.

But I remind you that it is best to change to a medium-grade crystal bead. Your cultivation is too shallow and you cannot bear the distracting thoughts in the top-grade crystal bead."

After saying the last sentence, Pan Chengfeng disappeared.

Outside the Ji's Fur Shop, the old man and his granddaughter were meditating. Suddenly, Pan Chengfeng appeared in front of them and said, "Let's go to the next store."

The old man quickly stood up and led the way. After walking for three or four hours, they arrived at a remote little place. Not only were there few people around, but even the shops were more closed than open.

Pan Chengfeng looked up at the sign that was about to fall down and said, "Is this the fur shop you mentioned? The words on the sign are blurred. Are you sure it's still in business?"

The old man smiled and said, "He is still doing business, and he has the best business on this street. You will know when you go in."

Now that we are here, let’s go in. Pan Chengfeng told the grandparents and grandchildren to wait outside and he walked in.

As soon as he entered the store, Pan Chengfeng knew that the old man had not lied to him, because the smell in the store was even stronger than that of the previous Ji’s Fur Store.

However, there was no shop assistant inside. The shop was about 300 square meters and had a lot of things, but there was no one to look after it.

Pan Chengfeng pressed the bell in front of the counter. The bell rang. After five or six breaths, an old man dressed as a shopkeeper came out and said, "Don't press it. We are not doing business today. Go back."

Pan Chengfeng asked curiously, "You are the shopkeeper, right? How can you open the shop but not do business?"

The old man narrowed his eyes. He had the cultivation base of the third level of Nascent Soul, and the other party was just a little Golden Core. How dare he question him? He said in a bad tone: "If you don't want to do business, you don't want to do business. What's the reason? Get lost!" As he said that, he waved his hand, and a wave of magic power rushed towards Pan Chengfeng.

The shopkeeper didn't even bother to look at the result, and directly lifted the door curtain to enter the inner hall. However, a cold voice sounded behind him: "Old man, I was talking to you nicely, but you kicked me out!!"

Although Pan Chengfeng wanted to keep a low profile, he would not let himself be bullied so easily. Once he showed his pressure, the shopkeeper was directly pinned down.

"Senior, save me!!!" The shopkeeper was so scared that he quickly called for help. In the inner hall, a pressure that was no weaker than Pan Chengfeng's came and directly dissolved Pan Chengfeng's pressure.

Then a voice came out: "Daoyou, why bother with a junior? Come in and have a cup of spiritual tea to calm down~"

Pan Chengfeng was slightly startled and thought to himself, "A cultivator in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm?!" The shopkeeper crawled to Pan Chengfeng and kowtowed, saying, "Please forgive me, senior. I was blind and offended you. Please just ignore me!"

Pan Chengfeng ignored him and strode into the inner hall. As soon as he entered the inner hall, Pan Chengfeng's eyes lit up. The inner hall was many times more high-end than the small shabby store outside!

The area alone is more than 2,000 square meters, and it is decorated magnificently, with furniture made of rare woods.

Pan Chengfeng thought about it for a moment and had a rough idea in his mind. He thought to himself, "This inner hall is where the 'business' is done. The outer hall is just a cover-up. It seems that this shop is doing some shady business."

Pan Chengfeng found a chair and sat down at random, then looked at the only cultivator in the inner hall.

The male monk looked to be in his early thirties, with a broad forehead, a pointed chin, slightly dark skin, thick eyebrows, and his eyes narrowed into a line as he looked at Pan Chengfeng.

Pan Chengfeng asked calmly, "Are you the shopkeeper?" The male monk shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to do business. What's your name? Who is your master?"

Pan Chengfeng smiled faintly and said, "Before asking someone's surname, should I introduce myself first?"

The male cultivator laughed and said, "I am sorry for being rude. I am Gou Huo, just a casual cultivator."

"Bastard?!" Pan Chengfeng almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He really wanted to ask your parents what they were thinking. How much must they hate this 'accident' of yours to give you this name? !

Gou Huo certainly knew that his name would arouse people's imagination, but he didn't care. For so many years, when had he not been laughed at? But the people who could laugh at him had to be at least of the same level as him.

After Gou Huo introduced himself, he looked at Pan Chengfeng, waiting for him to introduce himself. Pan Chengfeng certainly didn't believe that he was a casual cultivator and that his name might not be real, so he also made up a lie: "My last name is Niu, and everyone calls me Niu Er~ I am also a casual cultivator."

Gou Huo smiled and said, "It's rare to see a casual cultivator who can practice Void Refining. Are you a cultivator from Xuansheng Country?"

Pan Chengfeng laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight. I am a cultivator from the Great Zhou Kingdom. I came here to do business."

Gou Huo asked in confusion, "Oh? What kind of treasure is it that requires you to come all the way here?"

As the two were talking, the old shopkeeper came to Pan Chengfeng with a cup of spiritual tea and said, "Please wait a moment, seniors. The boss will be here soon."

Pan Chengfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip, then nodded slightly and said, "Good tea, the tea fragrance is fragrant and the spiritual energy is rich~"

Seeing Pan Chengfeng change the subject, Gou Huo did not continue to ask, but said calmly: "What has Fairy Lin been busy with recently? I have been waiting for half an hour!"

The old shopkeeper's forehead was sweating. Just as he was about to explain, a pleasant voice rang out from outside the door: "Don't blame me, Daoist friend Gou. I'm here~"

Pan Chengfeng scanned with his spiritual sense and thought to himself, "A cultivator in the early stage of refining emptiness."

Gou Huo quickly stood up upon hearing this, and bowed slightly, saying, "If Fairy Lin doesn't come again, I will think that you don't value this little thing of mine~"

Into the inner hall, a beautiful woman walked in slowly. She was about 1.7 meters tall, with a veil on her face, eyebrows like spring mountains, bright eyes, and skin like cream.

Pan Chengfeng had seen countless women, and even though this woman was wearing a veil, he could tell at the first sight that she was a great beauty.

Fairy Lin bowed slightly to Gou Huo and said, "I am sorry for my negligence. I hope you will forgive me~"

Then she looked at Pan Chengfeng, and Fairy Lin's eyes lit up as she said, "This fellow Taoist is unfamiliar to me. Is this your first time visiting my Treasure Appraisal House?"

Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "This is my first time here. I heard that you can buy and sell anything here, so I came to take a look~"

Fairy Lin smiled and said, "Although it's a bit exaggerated, I do have some strength~"

Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "Who dares to do this business? There must be some power behind it. I seriously suspect that the boss behind this may be the Tiandao Sect, or some powerful person in the Tiandao Sect!!"
