The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 35.2

Badger Spirit: “That’s right. I’ve added a small ‘Vast Sea of Storage’ array pattern to this Qiankun Bag. It has a refrigerated area inside for storing raw meat, food, etc. There is also a warming area for hot food. On top of that, it has countless storage compartments far superior to an ordinary Qiankun Bag!”

Yan Jue’s eyes widened: “May I try it out?”

She had never seen such a Qiankun Bag before. Moreover, wasn’t this standard equipment for a male protagonist?!

Having a storage function was extremely important to her. Previously, the way she managed items in her Qiankun Bag was just stuffing everything together. For instance, stuffing the snake meat in the Qiankun Bag today had made everything smell like that damned snake meat.

The badger spirit smiled and handed the Qiankun Bag over. Yan Jue sank her spiritual sense into it and entered.

What greeted her eyes was a scene of lush green mountains.

Yan Jue knew this was likely a beautification array placed inside the Qiankun Bag, but she was still slightly surprised. It looked so real; she could even smell the scent of the forest.

Then, a small wooden hut stood before her, with several large characters written on it: Storage House.

Yan Jue walked in leisurely. The inside of the wooden hut was quite rudimentary: a cabinet stood against the wall, and opening it sent a wave of cold air Yan Jue knew this was the ‘refrigerated cabinet.’ Another cabinet, when opened, emitted a wave of heat this must be the warming cabinet, or a heating cabinet.

This truly… opened the eyes of this country bumpkin transmigrator. Plus, items at the Ten Thousand Demon Pavilion were known to be a bit cheaper than in the mortal world.

After negotiating with the badger spirit, Yan Jue finally agreed to exchange fifteen exquisitely crafted gold hairpins for this Qiankun Bag integrated with the ‘Vast Sea of Storage’ array pattern.

Then, Yan Jue put all her belongings inside.

Yan Jue immediately took out the ‘Withered Sand Snake Meat’ stored in the Qiankun Bag’s special compartment. Because the snake meat had been in an ordinary Qiankun Bag before, Yan Jue feared it would rot, so it needed to be dealt with quickly.

Yan Jue soon arrived at the pheasant spirit’s pill shop.

Pheasant Spirit: “My lady’s snake meat can also be eaten by our medicinal beasts, but this Withered Sand Snake Meat is very precious. Are you sure you want to process it into an antidote or something similar?”

Yan Jue caught the hidden meaning in her words and asked, “What else can this snake meat be made into?”

Pheasant Spirit: “The Withered Sand Snake is one of the most venomous snakes in the world, but it isn’t famous for its poison; rather, it’s for its outstanding concealment ability.”

“It usually coils around large trees, disguising itself as a vine, blending perfectly with the surroundings, so that approaching prey cannot detect it. My lady can use the Withered Sand Snake to make Aura Concealment Pills.”

“Also, I can tell your Withered Sand Snake’s cultivation is quite high, almost ready to transform. Making it into Aura Concealment Pills will undoubtedly increase their potency. One Aura Concealment Pill can hide one’s aura for at least the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn.”

Yan Jue: “Then please use sixty percent of the snake meat to make the antidote, and the remaining forty percent to make Aura Concealment Pills.”

When traveling outside, getting poisoned is quite common. As for the aura-concealing function, Yan Jue felt she wouldn’t need it for the time being. The materials were rare, so she could only store them, perhaps they would be useful someday.

The pheasant spirit took the snake meat, cut it in half with a dagger, and fed a large portion to the medicinal beast. Having seen this scene many times, Yan Jue was no longer surprised.

The medicinal beast ate happily, then sat down to meditate for the time it takes a stick of incense to burn, seemingly digesting the materials. Then, with a kick of its hind legs, it excreted several pale blue pills.

Following the same process, the antidote and Aura Concealment Pills were made.

The pheasant spirit owner gave Yan Jue a brief introduction: 6 Antidote Pills, capable of curing most poisons in the world. 4 Aura Concealment Pills, capable of concealing one’s aura for the time it takes one stick of incense to burn.

After making the medicine, the twenty plus gold hairpins Yan Jue had were almost used up. She found a spot by the roadside, leaning against the wall, and contentedly sank her spiritual sense to start organizing the contents of her Qiankun Bag.

All the money she had earned since transmigrating to this world totaled 83 mid-grade spirit stones, all stored in the small compartment for spirit stones. The iron sword common to Five Dragons Gate disciples must be kept if she succeeded in escaping in the future, she could take it out to reminisce.

The Aura Concealment Pills and Antidote Pills were naturally placed with the healing salve and the mosquito repelling salve. Yan Jue looked at the pale green mosquito repelling salve, and her movements paused slightly. She hadn’t been bothered by mosquito demons for a long time, which meant that when mosquitoes cultivated into spirits, their tastes became more discerning, perhaps only targeting people like Qi Xianqing. When she returned to the mountain, she should find an opportunity to give the mosquito-repelling salve to Qi Xianqing.

Yan Jue then placed the wooden box containing the Life Sacrificing Bristles on a shelf. She took four of the six sleeve darts and strapped them to her sleeves, placing the other two on the shelf and securing them. Finally, the glass bottle containing Ghost Fireflies, various flower nectars, and the flower tea she had brewed previously were all placed together.

As Yan Jue was sorting and categorizing her spoils, she suddenly heard a burst of commotion from over there. A deafening scream echoed in the air.

Yan Jue snapped back to attention and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw that for some reason, a stone ring had been set up, and two demons were sparring on it.

Demon sparring was exceptionally bloody and brutal. A partially transformed green python, with a human face but a scaly serpent body, suddenly lunged forward and coiled around its opponent. A cat demon was choked until its tongue lolled out and its eyes bulged. Then, the python’s face suddenly burst open, revealing ferocious fangs and a gaping maw, and it swallowed the cat demon whole.

The smell of blood intensified, and the crowd below erupted in cheers.

Yan Jue found it a bit hard to bear, frowning slightly. Her gaze suddenly swept towards the spectator area.

The area around the ring was packed with watching demons, most of them densely packed in the back, pushing and shoving. Some were in their animal forms, some had human torsos but beast heads, and a few demons had transformed but were naked, standing there with green faces and fangs, looking particularly ferocious and terrifying.

Yan Jue was momentarily stunned. The rear demons were chaotic, but the front row was remarkably quiet. The few demons sitting in the front row were not the horrifying half-human, half-demon shapes but all humans, people wearing clothes. They were eating and watching the show; the surrounding demons pushed and shoved, but seemed afraid to approach them. It was as if all the surrounding noise was out of place with the front row.

For example, the woman sitting on the far left of the front row was wearing a red, slit dress, with fiery red lips and a stunning figure, exceptionally beautiful. Next to the woman was an old man with Western style glasses perched on his nose, his small eyes narrowed into slits, stroking his beard and gazing thoughtfully at the ring. In the middle sat a baby faced girl in a sapphire blue floor-length dress, with silver white hair! On the far right was a hairy chested, big bearded man, a bald, muscular man who was bare chested, and a fair skinned youth in a dark-patterned raven blue brocade robe. This looked exactly like the five members of the ‘Refined Scum’ group walking onto the wrong set. Even though they were all demons, the difference was too huge.

As Yan Jue was observing in surprise, she suddenly heard a kind voice next to her.

“May I ask what your current… cultivation level is, my lady?”

Yan Jue turned back to see an elderly man standing beside her at some point. Seeing Yan Jue turn, he smiled and cupped his hands: “I am a thousand-year-old goat spirit. My lady, the Crimson Fox, your bloodline is immensely noble.”

He was very polite, unlike those reckless demons. Yan Jue smiled back at his appearance: “You are too kind.”

“My current cultivation level is roughly… the Third Realm of Sapience.”

Firstly, Yan Jue had lived on Five Dragons Mountain for a long time and was unsure of the demon race’s classification system. Secondly, being cautious while traveling made it dangerous to be too frank with others, so Yan Jue only gave a rough estimate.

The old man smiled: “As expected of the fox lineage; my lady has reached the Sapience Realm at such a young age…”

“Have you considered the matter of forming a Demon Core?”

The old man’s enthusiasm made Yan Jue feel strange. Could this person be a trafficker? But out of politeness, Yan Jue still smiled faintly: “Forming a Demon Core is something for those at the peak of the Fourth Realm, Bone Refining. I am only in the Third Realm now; isn’t it too early to think about it?”

The Fifth Realm of the demon race corresponds to the Golden Core Realm of the human Fifth Realm the Demon Core Realm. Every demon at the peak of the Fourth Realm considers forming a Demon Core. Forming a core, whether for a demon or a human, is a lifelong major event. Forming a High-Grade Demon Core is excellent for future breakthroughs and cultivation advancement, and it is a significant boost to a demon’s strength. However, forming a High-Grade Demon Core requires extremely precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures as aids, which deters many small demons without background.

Old Man: “Our demon race forms cores slightly earlier than humans. Theoretically, one should start thinking about forming a core upon reaching the Third Realm. I have some heavenly materials and earthly treasures for core formation here; is my lady interested?”

Yan Jue: “…”

So, this person was a seller of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Old Man: “If my lady’s Five Elements affinity leans towards Water, here is a Water Cloud Fruit picked from the Water Drunken Immortal Tree. If there is no Five Elements preference, you can use an extremely Yin object leaning towards the Yin attribute, Earth Core Spirit Fluid. If the affinity is towards Wood, there is also the Black Phoenix Wood, rarely seen in a thousand years. These are all precious materials for forming a High-Grade Demon Core, offered at a cheap and affordable price. Would my lady like to take a look?”

Once Yan Jue understood his objective, she was no longer as vigilant. This person was indeed a salesman; seeing her gentle demeanor from afar, he guessed she had either a Water or Earth spirit root, which is why he approached her.

Yan Jue then chatted with him casually: “Then who are those people sitting in the very front?”

The old man followed her gaze and saw the five figures sitting below the ring: “The Five Demon Families.”

Yan Jue was startled: “Five Demons, which five demons?”

“Tiger, Turtle, Fox, Lion, Snake!”
