Chapter 351 - 204: Counterkill

"Senior Lei, I would like to purchase some Tier Three Demon Beast meat and materials for Demon Beast hide armor."

Lin Chang’an respectfully bowed, stating his intentions.

The meat vendor, surnamed Lei, broke into a smile as he listened to his big client.

"Well, well, I didn’t expect young friend to be such a large customer."

Faced with the Fake Pill Cultivator’s warm smile, Lin Chang’an didn’t dare to be careless, nodding respectfully and stepping aside.

The vendor opened his door for business, appearing rough but was actually meticulous, smiling broadly as he instructed his Human Puppet to cut the meat while communicating secretly.

"Young friend, which part of the Demon Beast’s hide armor do you need? You should know that the price varies depending on the part."

"Senior, my friend and I want to make an inner armor, so we’re looking for a material from a better part."

"Inner armor requires a softer material, which isn’t cheap."

With respectful negotiation, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but grimace at the price he heard.

It’s really steep.

The price was thirty percent higher than what he previously found out.

But there was no choice; in this place, they made a living from such sales.

Lin Chang’an didn’t haggle and completed the transaction swiftly.

As soon as the Spirit Stones were in hand, the flesh vendor Fatty Lei burst into a hearty smile.

"Good, young friend, you are straightforward. I, Fatty Lei, like straightforward people like you. Although this Demon Beast leather armor is previous stock, the Demon Beast meat is absolutely fresh."

Fatty Lei was full of smiles, though it would have been better if the Quasi-Tier Three Demon Beast in the iron cage behind him wasn’t wailing.

Lin Chang’an saw clearly: amidst the Demon Beast’s painful cries, its flesh was sliced off piece by piece by the Human Puppet, and yet the beast’s strong physique wasn’t fatal.

Then they continued feeding the beast to heal the wounds, thus achieving repeated use.

However, Tier Three Demon Beasts were different; Fake Pill Cultivators didn’t have the ability to imprison a live one for such torture.

A large chunk of plump Demon Beast meat was brought out from the back, sliced thinly by the careful Human Puppet.

The Demon Beast blood was stored in a wine jar.

Even the bones of the Tier Three Demon Beast, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but buy two more pieces, as they were extremely nourishing whether used in a medicinal bath or soup.

Seeing this business transaction, Fatty Lei couldn’t contain his laughter, patting his belly.

"Young friend, you’re straightforward. I’ll throw in three more pounds of Demon Beast meat for you."

"Thank you, Senior Lei."

"No need for the ’Senior’ title, just call me Fatty Lei when you come here from now on."

This demeanor made Lin Chang’an smile awkwardly, but he really didn’t dare to call a Fake Pill Cultivator Fatty Lei.

The difference in their cultivation was too great.

The vendor was clearly pleased that Lin Chang’an bought so much at once, especially with the prices here being high.

As Lin Chang’an respectfully collected the Demon Beast meat and blood and prepared to leave, Fatty Lei scanned the room full of people, his smile shifting to a sneer and let out a cold humph.

"Anyone who dares to spy in Fatty Lei’s shop should pray I don’t find out, or I might just chop them up and sell them here one day."

Lin Chang’an’s expression tightened instantly, understanding that Fatty Lei was warning others.

But from the corner of his eye, he saw a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s corpse hanging on an iron hook.

"Isn’t that He Laosan?"

"And he’s been sold here too."

On the iron hook, Foundation Establishment Cultivator He Laosan, staring with dead, unseeing eyes, was being carved piece by piece by the Human Puppet in full view of everyone.

"Blood and flesh of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator—a great supplement. Any interested Daoist friends? Even if you can’t use it, feeding it to your Spirit Pet is highly nourishing..."

"I’ll take it. My big python’s been starving. Don’t bother chopping it up for me."

"I’ll take the Cultivator Essence Blood..."

Seeing the bustling business, Lin Chang’an took a deep breath and stepped out of the meat shop.

He had prepared himself before he came.

"As expected, this place is extremely dangerous. Clearly, the Cultivator who just bought essence blood practices Demonic Cultivation Techniques with Cultivator blood."

Having lived for a hundred years, this world, where people prey on each other, exists even among mortals, so Lin Chang’an wasn’t surprised.

He was only secretly wary of what he had just observed.

A Human Cultivator with an unusual aura—he could clearly feel the mixed and chaotic mana within.

Many Demonic Cultivation Techniques are like this, possessing great power and rapid advancement, but with significant downsides.

"Though it’s a place of chaos, there are rules within the chaos."

Lin Chang’an shook his head, dismissing these thoughts, feeling a sense of relief as his long-sought materials for Talisman Treasure were finally secured.

The beast hide could be tanned into Talisman paper, and the Demon Beast Essence Blood he bought, though nourishing, could also be used to make Cinnabar.

The Tier Three Demon Beast meat was extremely nourishing, beneficial for any kind of cultivation, be it Body Refining or otherwise.

His goals for coming here were finally achieved.

"Though it was risky, now I can prepare to make the Talisman Treasure upon returning."

Lin Chang’an felt it was his good fortune, as he initially came just to have a look, uncertain if it would be this suitable.

Yet he unexpectedly found everything he needed.

"Fortunately, the attributes of this Magical Treasure aren’t so demanding."

The Blood Evil Sword is a kind of Demonic Magical Treasure, refined from Gold Attribute material, tainted with Blood Evil Qi.

Basically, as long as it’s not a lightning or demon-breaking attribute, it can be made.
