Chapter 21 Jade Pendant
The other suppliers were shocked at the price of two taels of silver.
One tael of silver was more than enough for a family of five to last a whole year.
This young man in front of them had just been offered two taels of silver.
They were jealous and cursed at the good fortune of Lin Fan.
This jealousy heightened when they saw Lin Fan's face.
He had a nonchalant look about him.
Was two taels of silver not enough for this young man?
They would be down on their knees thanking the heavens right now if they were getting those two taels of silver.
Lin Fan finally had a change of expression; he smiled and said, "Deal. But I have a proposal to make."
"Go on," the woman cultivator replied.
"I will take one tael of silver, on the condition that you tell me why this fire deer is worth two taels of silver," Lin Fan said.
He wanted to know more about the use of demonic beasts for cultivators.
What made them so valuable to them?
The woman cultivator, upon hearing Lin Fan's proposition, was surprised.@@@@
This young man was not a simple man.
She thought for a short moment and finally made her decision.
"I'm Zhao Rui from the Qing Feng sect. Pleased to be able to make the deal with you. One tael of silver and the reason why I'm willing to pay for it."
She took out a tael of silver, handed it to Lin Fan, and continued, "These demonic beasts' meat has precious attributes that enhance our Qi concentration abilities.
"Our sect will prepare meals with it for the disciples to help them get stronger.
"The meat is, however, not the most important part.
"There's the beast core that can be used to make elixirs to help cultivators break through their current level of cultivation.
"I'm at that stage, on the brink of breakthrough currently; this fire deer will help me achieve that."
Lin Fan bowed and clasped his hands together at Zhao Rui and said, "Thank you so much for sharing the information."
Zhao Rui was pleased with his manners and hunger for knowledge.
The rice fields were empty, and not too far in the distance, you could see smoke coming out of the villagers' houses.
Everyone was already making dinner.
The setting sun with its orange-red hue had painted long shadows of everything onto the ground.
Lin Fan could see on the ground a long shadow in front of him, leading to a familiar figure fifty meters away.
Housekeeper Lee!
"Good, saved me all the time and effort to find you," Lin Fan said silently to himself.
"Housekeeper Lee. What do you want?"
Lin Fan took out the bow slung across his chest and armed it with an arrow.
From his aim, he could see that there was something odd about Housekeeper Lee.
Housekeeper Lee's eyes looked blankly at Lin Fan.
He was drooling, and his saliva had caused his long mustache to stick to his neck.
The clothes he was wearing were now messy, revealing scratches on his chest.
All the scratches looked old with dried dark red blood and pus oozing out of them.
What had happened to Housekeeper Lee?
Lin Fan didn't have time to find out as he saw Housekeeper Lee raise his head and give out a loud growl into the air.
"You... it's all because of you... look at me now..." Housekeeper Lee stared at Lin Fan and started to talk hysterically.
He growled again and started to run toward Lin Fan.
[Ding!]
[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 50 vengeance points.]
Lin Fan was surprised when he saw the vengeance points.
50 points?
How could it be?
Housekeeper Lee was just a normal person like all the villagers a few days ago.
How did he get to be more powerful than a demonic beast?
