“Do we know each other?” Chen Xiaobei looked thoughtfully at the old man. Even though this was his first time meeting a Silver Plume native, his acting skills were unaffected. He spoke with the authority and composure of an elite.

“I don’t think we do. But those who could set foot here in this place will automatically become an honored guest of mine!” The old man chuckled. “My name is Gu Congwen. I’m the manager of this place. Dare I ask for your name?”

“Chen.” Chen Xiaobei said.

Gu Congwen nodded and smiled.

“Please come in, Elder Chen.”

Gu Congwen ushered Chen Xiaobei in before exchanging a whispered conversation with the young man who left immediately after.

In the guest hall on the 3rd floor.

Gu Congwen sat Chen Xiaobei down and then asked, “My man told me that Elder Chen has decided to sell the body of a Silver-tier Giant Beast. I wonder how the remains have been preserved? If it was severely damaged in the fight, then I’m afraid it won’t sell!”

“It was decapitated in one slash. Other than that, there was no other disfigurement.” Chen Xiaobei said, sounding very firm and stern.

“One… slash?!”

A flabbergasted expression took shape on Gu Congwen’s face.

Gu Congwen was worried that Chen Xiaobei’s strength was close to the Giant Beast’s. The battle would have been a difficult one and he feared that Chen Xiaobei might have destroyed the Demonic Beast’s hide, and broken its bones. If that was the case, then its carcass would be worth next to nothing.

Killing the beast with one swing was not something he expected Chen Xiaobei to do!

A chaotic battle or a seckill were both ways to defeat the beast, but they speak of victors with very different ranks!

Gu Congwen’s was glazed with esteem and awe upon hearing this.

He was a noble but he was extremely deferential when speaking to Chen Xiaobei, “Elder Chen, may I know what kind of Giant Beast is it that you’ve killed?”

“There’s no need for so many questions. We can find a place where you can examine the goods.” Chen Xiaobei said monotonously. “I trust that you won’t short-change me on the pricing. After you’ve inspected it, I will sell it to you at whatever price you offer!”

“Er…” Gu Congwen was surprised by his forwardness. “Since you trust me, then please follow me to the inspection room. May I know how big the Giant Beast is?”

“It’s 20 meters tall!”

“Twe… Twenty meters?!” Gu Congwen gulped, his voice trembling as he said, “The inspection room is not big enough… Let’s go to the backyard instead…”

Chen Xiaobei nodded but said nothing.

In all honesty, Chen Xiaobei did not trust Gu Congwen all that much.

That was because he did not know what species the Giant Beast was and there were a lot of things he did not know about. If Gu Congwen had kept up with his questions, Chen Xiaobei might let slip his inexperience and lack of knowledge. It was better to just ask him to offer a price.

Luckily, Gu Congwen regarded Chen Xiaobei with such high esteem that he did not suspect anything of him. He would most definitely not have the guts to cheat Chen Xiaobei on the price.

This was the advantage of putting on a mask.

If Chen Xiaobei had come as himself, he would have been dismissed and disregarded. Gu Congwen might even take the opportunity to bully Chen Xiaobei, offering him the lowest price possible. And since Chen Xiaobei knew nothing about selling the carcass of Demonic Beasts, he would be forced to suffer his loss in silence.

But with this high-profile front, it was safe to assume that Gu Congwen would not try to pull a fast one.

…

In the backyard.

Chen Xiaobei could not care less about the flowers and the grass. He took out the body of the Silver-tier Giant Beast and laid it in the center of the yard.

“My god! This… This this…”

Gu Congwen nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw the mammoth beast.

“If I’m not mistaken, this is a Demonic Beast King!”

Chen Xiaobei did not make any remarks. The Giant Beast had claimed that he was a king. But since Chen Xiaobei did not know for sure, he decided that silence was the best option.

“Elder Chen! You have opened up my eyes! No one on Silver Plume Planet has ever killed a Demonic Beast King! This particular beast may be on the smaller side, but compared to the other Demonic Beasts, it is much more valuable!” Gu Congwen said, “I would normally offer around 300 medium-grade Spiritual Stones for a common Demonic Beast but since this is a royalty, I will raise it to 500!”

“500? Deal!” Chen Xaioebei revealed nothing on his face but deep inside he was doing the victory dance!

Chen Xiaobei had thought that getting 300 medium-grade Spiritual Stones, as Ning Yuchen had estimated, was good enough. He had never thought that this beast had a special ranking that could earn him 200 more!

This was not a small amount!

One medium-grade Spiritual Stone was equivalent to 1,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones.

500 medium-grade Spiritual Stones would make 500,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones!

Chen Xiaobei had never seen what 500,000 Spiritual Stones looked like.

He would never have dreamt that he could own so many Spiritual Stones at once!

He recalled how the 100,000 Spiritual Stones in Tenshou’s treasury had shocked him. In hindsight, it was nothing impressive!

With these Spiritual Stones, Chen Xiaobei could train and convert them into either 50,000 combat power or health.

Chen Xiaobei’s strength would skyrocket!

If you count it according to the ranking, then it was Platinum-tier!

“Since you have no objection, I will ask my men to bring the stones!”

Gu Congwen did not expect Chen Xiaobei to take the deal so willingly. So, he quickly sealed the deal in case Chen Xiaobei changed his mind.

“There’s no need to rush!” Chen Xiaobei shook his head and asked, “How much is the Beast Core worth? Give me a price!”

“Be… Beast Core? You want to sell the core? No way.” Gu Congwen gave Chen Xiaobei a curious look.

People would normally keep the Beast Core for themselves. Unless they were pressed for money, they would never sell it.”

“The Beast Core is still in the body of the beast. Name me a price. If I like it then I’ll leave it inside.” Chen Xiaobei pretended to appear indifferent toward the Beast Core.

“Er…”

Gu Congwen found himself at a loss for words. How powerful is this old man that he was so cavalier about a Silver-tier Giant Beast’s core?

Gu Congwen may be a Silver Plume noble but he dared not wrong an elite.

Gu Congwen spoke in a lowly manner, “Elder Chen… This is a Silver-tier Beast Core. It could increase a person’s combat power or health by 10,000. In other words, that’s 100 medium Spiritual Stones’ worth. That would mean that you’d be making a loss by selling it…”

Chen Xiaobei thought about it for a while before deciding. “Alright, have someone remove the Beast Core for me. I won’t sell it.”

Most people used the core to increase either their health or combat power, but with the Blood Descendants’ Dark Powers, Chen Xiaobei could raise both!

If he had exchanged it with 100 medium-grade Spiritual Stones, he would have made a massive loss!

“Alright! I’ll ask my men to do it right away!” Gu Congwen nodded. “There is something that I’d really like to ask you. Would you mind telling me the answer?”

“Go ahead and ask,” said Chen Xiaobei.
