I’ve Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?-Chapter 367

Chapter 367

The monsters of eastern sea didn’t like the demon race much and it was for a pretty simple reason – the demon race was simply too powerful for them. A demon race that was powerful enough to devour the whole monster race was apparently not in their interests.

For Xu Ziyan, the demon race in Xuan Yu realm was simply like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period, while the human race and monster race were like Liu Bei and Sun Quan. The human and monster race must reunite to defend against the demon race, and the hatred between them should be resolved after they defeated the demon race together.

Unfortunately, while the monster race of the eastern sea understood this point, those in the extreme west didn’t accept this proposal due to emotional reasons.

In short, it was an indisputable fact that the demon race was already occupying nearly one-third of Xuan Yu’s territory. Both the human race and the demon race were desperately studying the materials from the demon race.

These materials could be used widely. Some used them to refine weapons, some used them to make pills. Some even wanted to find out the weaknesses of these demons through research on the materials.

The monster race in the eastern sea was far behind the human race in this aspect. It’s all because there were too few materials for the demon race in the eastern sea. Even the lord of Tengyun only had a little bit.

Therefore, when Xu Ziyan threw out a small mountain of demon materials generously, his status in Ao Yun’s heart rose rapidly.

Although most of those materials came from demons of the lowest level, the research of the monsters of eastern sea on demons was just at its starting point. What else was more suitable for their research than these materials?

Xu Ziyan exchanged a large number of low-grade materials for countless specialties of the eastern sea, and he also gained the friendship of Ao Yun, the lord of Tengyun.

This kind of ‘friendship’ shouldn’t be underestimated. The Jiaolong clan was related to the dragon clan, and this ‘friendship’ was thus a mark. If Xu Ziyan had anything to ask from the Jiaolong clan, the latter would surely say yes as long as the request stayed within the limit.

Xu Ziyan put away the imprint, looked at the various specialties in Mr. Little Square and nodded in satisfaction. These materials were sent by the cultivators of the Dragon Slaying Army before he left, and they no longer needed these low-level materials. Therefore, they decided to sell them to the eastern sea for a good price.

Ao Yun looked at the materials piled up like a mountain in his own space, and he couldn’t stop smiling. Those so-called specialties of the eastern sea might be very expensive for the cultivators, but they were just leftovers to the Jiaolong clan. Never had he expected that he could exchange them for so many materials of the demon race!

The two cunning merchants looked at each other and laughed at the same time. They also agreed to the next transaction, and everyone saw a particular scene in front of the lord’s mansion…

“Senior Xu, are you sure that you don’t want me as your mount? I’m in good shape, and I’m very comfortable to ride on!” Ao Yuanqing looked at Xu Ziyan with admiration.

Xu Ziyan supported his forehead helplessly and he was hoping that Ao Yuanqing could stop giving him more troubles. He was thinking, “do you even know what price I had to pay last time after healing you?”

“Senior Xu…I can run very fast and I can swim. Aren’t you even going to consider about it?” Ao Yuanqing’s eyes flashed and they almost blinded Xu Ziyan’s eyes.

Xu Ziyan turned away silently and thought, “Miss Ao…I’m actually trying to save you…if you become my ride, you will be killed immediately, okay?”

It’s indeed so cool to have a brother with clinginess disease!

“But…” Ao Yuanqing showed a hint of distress, “but my brother said that the city lord wants me to follow you.”

Xu Ziyan recalled how Ao Yuanqing smiled at him the other day, saying that she’s surprise him…

A surprised turned into fright in just seconds!

Forget about mount or ride. →. →

Except for Xu Zirong, there’s absolutely no chance for Xu Ziyan to ride on anything… (a_a I’m sure you understand.)

After being rejected by Xu Ziyan, Ao Yuanqing was sent out…

Early the next morning, Xu Ziyan found someone standing outside his room.

Ao Yuanming stared at Xu Ziyan with a serious look.

Xu Ziyan: …Now that the sister is gone, the brother is here. What does this mean?

Ao Yuanming wasn’t there to recommend himself as a ride, but to convey a message from the city lord.

Ao Yun said that the batch of demon materials provided by Xu Ziyan was extremely popular, but they were all sold out within a few days. He knew that the purpose of Xu Ziyan’s trip was the legendary treasure, so he wished him all the best and hinted that even if he couldn’t find any treasures, there would still be gains as long as he could continue to maintain this kind of deal with the Jiaolong clan.

Xu Ziyan was a little shocked, as he didn’t expect that seemingly worthless batch of demon materials would be so popular.

Those were all materials from low-level demons. Even if they were used to refine magic weapons, they were still at the level of Qi condensation. All Jiaolong would reach the level of golden core once they turned into adults, so what’s the use of getting some weapons lower than their grade?

However, it was a secret of the Jiaolong clan, and it was not easy for an outsider like him to inquire further. Besides, it was also very beneficial for him to be able to sell these cheap materials for a good price. Therefore, he directly sent a communicative talisman to Zuo Shen before asking someone to send over a large amount of low-level materials.

In the secret room of the city lord’s mansion, an old man with long beard lowered his head, staring at the long black horns on the table.

“You told me that something can enhance the development of my clan, is this what you mean?” The old man raised his head slowly, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked quietly at a young man in red.

The young man smiled slightly, “elder, this alone is apparently not enough, but this is the main medicine for refining the Long Tui Pill (Shedding Dragon Pill). As long as we add other auxiliary materials, we’ll be able to refine this pill. Of course, there are different grades of the pill. For this one, it would work the most effectively on small dragons, but it won’t work on those with higher level.”

The long-bearded old man pondered for a while, “it’s alright. For us Jiaolong elders, each time our skin sheds, our level of cultivation increases. I don’t think anyone would say no to having another chance to shed the skin. Tell Ao Yun that it’s very important to get closer with Xu Ziyan, and it’d be best to get these stuff from him discreetly. Don’t forget that the sea snake clan can also use this pill…huh!” Please visit 𝑓r𝙚ew𝚎𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝗲𝘭. c𝘰m

The long-bearded old man snorted coldly, his tone was full of disdain for the sea snake clan.

The young man in red nodded and turned to discuss with Ao Yun. The long-bearded old man gently stroked his pitch-black long horn, and a trace of frenzy flashed in his eyes.

If there were materials of high-level demons, perhaps he could also have a chance to shed his skin!

After staying in Tengyun for about half a month, Xu Ziyan finally had the news about the treasure being opened.

During this half a month, the army of demon slayers sent another batch of materials. Xu Ziyan made a lot of money, and his friendship with the Jiaolong clan even deepened.

Now he and Ao Yun were really close, and he also had a good impression of this straightforward guy.

Of course, on the other hand, Xu Zirong became more and more displeased with the Ao Yun, and he even secretly tricked him several times. Fortunately, Ao Yun’s level of cultivation was advanced enough, and Xu Zirong’s tricks were not that effective on a thick-skinned Jiaolong…

Well, if his brother ever found out what he’s doing, then he’s dead! Xu Ziyan would never let him be like that…

Not only would he be severely punished by his brother, but he would also be unable to climb onto his bed for at least half a month. It was absolutely intolerable for someone who’s used to Xu Ziyan’s warm embrace.

In desperation, Xu Zirong could only feel overwhelmed while acquiescing that his brother had made another Jiaolong friend…

Compared with Xu Zirong’s depression, Fang Tianrui and Jiang Ying had a very comfortable time during this period.

Waving the spiritual stone that Xu Ziyan gave them, the two who were in charge of purchasing the supplies for the army of demon slayers immediately became the most popular customers of all the shops.

The Pill of Replenishment? Buy!

The Syrup of Returning to Heaven? Buy!

Powder of Ups and Downs? Buy!

In a word, the two basically bought all the pills and medicine that could be used to increase the power of the army.

The army of demon slayers was in the stage of rapid development, and after so many battles, their wallets also grew.

For a cultivator, the most essential requirement was always cultivation. Besides, the higher the level of cultivation was, the stronger their ability to survive.

High-level demons = high-level materials = limitless spiritual stones.

Everyone understood this simple formula, that’s why Xu Ziyan specially brought out a large sum of spiritual stones on this trip to buy suitable pills for army.

After all, the number and quality of the pills that the three clans could provide were limited. It’s still okay to have them for emergency, but it’d still be better to purchase some for long-term development.

The group of cultivators might have a leap of development this time, and it’s apparently a good thing for Xu Ziyan.

Xu Ziyan recalled that he was there in the name of receiving materials for the Liu Guang sect, and he got the first batch of materials.

In the shop opened by Liu Guang sect, Xu Ziyan also saw someone he knew, but it’s obvious that the person didn’t want to see him…

“Master Qilian…nephew, it’s been a long time.” Xu Ziyan was about to say “senior brother” but felt that something was wrong.

Nephew Qilian: …Damn it! From senior brother to little brother, then to nephew…what the heck happened actually?

No matter how he roared secretly, when Qilian Hongyun saw Xu Ziyan, he still had to greet him, “long time no see…senior uncle…Xu.”

Xu Ziyan sweated silently, as he also understood the feelings of Qilian. It’s only that such an incident couldn’t be avoided. He’d better accept the materials quickly and leave, so that Qilian wouldn’t be embarrassed anymore.

After leaving, he sighed emotionally. He was still fresh and young when he was assessed before joining the sect, and now…he found himself still young after touching the smooth corners of his eyes!╮(╯▽╰)╭
