Chapter 577: Someone is Finding Fault

From his tone, it seemed like he knew that they had more than one fish in their hands. Having a different idea, Lonemoon nodded with a smile and said, “That’s negotiable!” With that, he swung his hand and instantly a fish as big as a tabletop appeared on the grassland by the side. “Is this the type of fish monster you are seeking?”

The eyes of the four brightened at once as they all stared fixedly at the fish on the ground and nodded fervently. “That’s right, that’s it, this is the Red Scented fish monster!”

“Then how much are you intending to pay to buy it?” Lonemoon smiled very kindly, looking at the expressions, he did not expect that an ingredient that Chef randomly found was so valuable.

The tall man stepped forward in delight while bringing out his money purse as he said, “The Red Scented Fish Monster used to be sold for 10 thousand void currency in Yang City, I… I…” He looked at his own purse and said carefully, “I have 23 thousand void currency now, would that be enough?” With that said, he directly handed the purse over.

Lonemoon took a look, was one fish already so expensive? He was considering whether to get Chef to stock up more and did not make any reply.

And the tall man grew restless, thinking that he was finding the money too little, he turned back anxiously towards the three others. “If you find it too little, we still have more here!” While speaking, the three all pulled out their money, roughly counted it and handed it over. “Here’s a total of 40 thousand void currency, is that enough? If it’s not, we’ll make up for it after the competition, we’ll sign a debt slip, we will definitely pay you the money.”

The others also nodded, their gazes towards him were filled with some begging.

Lonemoon faltered, this was his first time meeting people who automatically increased the price on their own accord during a negotiation. What kind of new tyrant-style bargaining was this?

“You are overstating things, my friends.” He replied with a small smile. “Since we have agreed to sell it, we naturally won’t go back on our word. But I don’t know why you are so anxious to get this fish monster.”

Once his words fell, a slightly desolate expressions appeared on all four of their faces together. He replied a moment later. “It’s like this, one of our very good friends sustained some injuries a while back and isn’t recovering even after a long period of treatment. Rumors say that the fish bone of the Red Scented Fish Monster can heal severed meridians and rebuild muscles, that’s why we wanted to get one.”

“I see.” Turns out it was to save someone.

“To be honest with you, we have already been searching for several months in Yang City, unfortunately we did not find anyone selling such fish monsters.” He explained in a low voice, while his gaze shifted to the fish on the floor again. “This Red Scented Fish Monster comes with an exotic fragrance and always live in groups by the thousands. Without dozens of people, it would be impossible to capture them, so even businessmen who specialize in hunting monsters do not easily attempt to do so. That is why the supply does not meet the demand.” Though he did not know how they managed to hunt so many with just four of them, they were already very surprised and delighted to be able to buy one.

“I see.” Lonemoon nodded, no wonder they found the dishes that Chef made today especially aromatic, turns out it’s because of the ingredients. They were so sure that they had other fish monsters earlier, probably because they had smelled the scent and knew that they had encountered the entire group of fish. With a sudden thought, he asked, “You only need the bones of this fish?”

The four faltered but still nodded. “Yes.”

“Hold on!” He stood and turned to walk towards Chef’s temporary stove, after searching around, he bent down and pulled out a rack of bone several meters long back with him. “This fish bone is bigger than that fish, why don’t I sell this fish bone to you?”

The four of them fell into a momentary daze before their expressions became those of overjoy.

“Su… Such a huge fish bone, could it be… the Red Scented Fish King!”

“Definitely, such a big one, it must be the Fish King! Besides, judging by the color of this bone, it is at least 500 years old and older.”

“My god! A 500 year old Fish King had yet to appear in Yang City.”

“Brother Wen Xuan can be cured now, he will definitely recover.”

The few of them became increasingly agitated as they spoke, their eyes brightening.

“Since you only want the fish bone, then I’ll make it cheaper, just 20 thousand void currency will do!” As he said that, he reached out and took the purse from the man’s hand while stuffing the fish bone into his hand. Then, he turned back and stored the fish that was on the ground away.

Fortunately Chef did not throw the bone away earlier on, he managed to earn 20 thousand void currency without even losing one fish, this was a good deal.

The four people was even more agitated now, carefully putting the fish bone away, they then looked to Lonemoon, full of gratitude as they said, “Thank you fellow Daoist, we certainly won’t forget your kindness this time. When our friend has recovered, we will definitely visit you to offer our thanks!” As he spoke, he assumed the posture of going down on his knees.

“Not at all.” Lonemoon quickly helped him up and smiled sincerely. “It’s a small matter, no need to stand on ceremony!”

“No, we understand your intention.” He said even more solemnly. “The Red Scented Fish Monster is difficult to get, and the Fish King is even rarer. We are considered to have taken huge advantage of you this time, we will definitely remember it. As for this money…” He pushed the few other purses over. “Please accept everything.”

“How can I…”

“Please do not refuse.”

“I… alright!”

Lonemoon then stuffed the remaining few bags of void currency into his own pocket, looking like he was being forced to do this difficult thing.

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Buggy: “…”

Shrewd businessman!

“We still don’t know how to address you all?” The tall man looked extremely grateful as he went on to introduce himself. “I am Ling Hong, a disciple of Immortal Spirit Academy. These two are my good friends, An Hao, Meng Fan, this is my younger sister, Ling Fei.”

Lonemoon was considering whether to take the chance to sell them some elixirs and whatnot and was about to speak when a male voice, filled with mockery sounded from midair. “I was wondering who had alarmed the Red Scented Fish group, turns out it’s the famous good-for-nothings from Team three?”

Ling Hong’s originally excited face paled, looking up at the four people that suddenly appeared in the air, a hint of timidity flashed across his eyes.

Lonemoon lifted his head for a glance and saw four male who were dressed in the same blue robes as Ling Hong’s group stopping midair on their swords. They were looking down at the people below with mockery all over their faces.

“I heard that Ling Wen Xuan was bitten by a monster previously and is already crippled. I didn’t expect that the few of you good-for-nothings still dared to come to participate in the competition.” The man flying right at the front laughed coldly, his gaze becoming even more cynical. “Do you think that, just with the few of you level three good-for-nothing, you will be able to get the array flags?”

Once he said that, the three behind him all started laughing.

Ling Hong and the others turned even paler as they fisted the hands by their sides. The only, Ling Fei could not hold back and took a step forward. “Ren Qing, we are all disciples of Immortal Spirit Academy, so what if we are from team three? Don’t look down on others!”

“Heh! So what if I am looking down on you?” The person laughed even more arrogantly. “In the past, Ling Wen Xuan always hung out with you all, it’s no wonder that he is a cripple now- just nice to form a pile with all of you.”
