After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 205 Camp Trade Fair

The camp here is not small, about the size of a small human village.

Many simple houses were built around the small lake in the middle of the oasis. Most of them were built of sand and gravel, and some of them didn't even have roofs.

Later I heard that some monsters liked this kind of living environment.

Ye Xiaobai was naturally not surprised, after all, the habits of demon beasts and humans are bound to be different.

After walking for a while, Ye Xiaobai and his companion still hadn't found any trace of the Red Flower Fruit. They were just about to ask a demon beast for directions.

Just then, a monster with a toad's head came along. It was clear that it hadn't fully transformed and was still half-human and half-demon.

“Senior, I’ve seen you’ve been in this place for a while now, but it seems you haven’t found anything suitable yet. I’m very familiar with this place. If you need anything, you can tell me, and maybe I can help you!” The toad said respectfully to Devouring Heaven while rubbing its hands together.

"He's quite a clever junior!" Tuntian said, taking out 10 low-grade spirit stones and tossing them over.

"Thank you, senior!" The toad demon beast hurriedly and excitedly accepted the spirit stone, then expressed its gratitude.

"Do you have any news about the red flower fruit?" Tuntian asked.

“Senior, it is like this. There are indeed some red berries growing near this oasis. However, due to years of over-harvesting, the number of red berries has become extremely rare. Perhaps only a few leaders in our camp have them,” the toad demon beast said slowly.

"Then how can I see your leader?"

"That may not be easy. Recently, it seems that the leaders are either in seclusion or have gone out on business."

"That's troublesome." Tuntian frowned, unsure of what to do. Ye Xiaobai was also at a loss.

"Senior, please don't be in such a hurry. I know of a trading place with many rare treasures, and maybe even some Red Flower Fruit. You can go and try your luck!" the toad demon beast said hurriedly.

"That's great! Why don't you take us to see it?" Upon hearing this, Tuntian said excitedly.

"However, I should mention this to you in advance, senior: there will be an entrance fee for participating in the trade fair!" the toad demon beast said cautiously, afraid of upsetting the senior.

"This junior, I was just praising your cleverness, and you're looking down on my strength! Do I look like someone who's short of spirit stones?" Devouring Heaven said with slight displeasure.

"No, no!" the toad monster hurriedly waved its hands in denial, its enormous head shaking wildly, which looked rather comical.

"Then what are you waiting for! Lead the way!"

Tuntian immediately shouted a rebuke.

Upon hearing this, the toad-like monster was startled and hurriedly said in a trembling voice, "Senior, come with me!" After saying that, it took small steps and ran towards a certain direction of the camp.

Tuntian and Ye Xiaobai naturally followed closely behind.

The campsite wasn't very big, and we arrived at our destination in no time.

Although the houses here were also built of sand and stone, they were noticeably more well-decorated than the surrounding houses, and could even be described as more luxurious, especially compared to the other houses in the camp.

To own such a luxurious house in such a barren desert region, it seems the owner is indeed extraordinary. Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh.

"Boss Liu, this senior would like to attend your trade fair. Is now a convenient time?" the toad demon beast said respectfully to a richly dressed middle-aged female cultivator.

"Oh, it's Xiao Yu's. No problem, the trade fair doesn't start for another hour and a half!" the female cultivator surnamed Liu said calmly. After speaking, she turned to look at Tun Tian and Ye Xiaobai.

"Seniors, are you two?"

"Exactly!"

"200 low-grade spirit stones!"

"Lead the way!" After saying that, Tuntian waved his hand and threw out 200 low-grade spirit stones.

"Senior, please!" The female cultivator took the spirit stone and led Tuntian and Ye Xiaobai into the house.

Throughout the entire process, Boss Liu only glanced at Ye Xiaobai once. However, Ye Xiaobai could smell the demonic aura emanating from Boss Liu, a faint, spicy scent.

Although he tried to apply some cosmetics like human cultivators, he couldn't completely mask his beastly scent.

That's normal. This is a monster camp, so it's not unusual for the boss to be a monster.

Upon entering the room, one sees a stone table about ten feet in diameter, around which many demon cultivators are already seated. Most of them have already cultivated into human form and reached the seventh level of strength, while only a small number are still in a half-human, half-demon form.

As soon as Mr. Liu entered, everyone anxiously asked, "Mr. Liu, when does the trade fair start?"

Devouring Heaven found an empty spot and sat down.

A moment later, a Qi Refining cultivator came and poured Tuntian a cup of spiritual tea.

Ye Xiaobai naturally had no share; as a "pet," he could only stand obediently to the side.

Many of the surrounding demonic beasts also had human pets standing next to them, and most of them were young and beautiful human female cultivators.

Some of the monsters even had several human pets standing next to them.

Seeing everyone's anxious expressions, Boss Liu remained calm and said, "Fellow Daoists, please have some spiritual tea first. Don't rush, the trade fair is about to begin!"

"Boss Liu, we're all here for the treasures at the trade fair! We're almost all here, what are you waiting for? Let's get started!" a demon cultivator chimed in.

"Yeah yeah!"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. Fellow Daoist Sun from the Northeast Workshop instructed me that he'll be here later if something comes up, and I must wait for him to arrive before we begin!"

"We're old friends, so I couldn't refuse!" Mr. Liu quickly explained.

Upon hearing that it was Fellow Daoist Sun who made the request, no one dared to say anything more.

Ye Xiaobai and Tuntian also realized that this demon cultivator surnamed Sun was probably not simple.

"While Fellow Daoist Sun hasn't arrived yet, I can let my newly acquired pets show off a bit!" Boss Liu said happily.

After saying that, he turned to the servant beside him and said, "Go and bring him up quickly!"

"Yes!" After the servant finished speaking, he quickly appeared before everyone with seven or eight young female human cultivators.

"Oh, this batch of goods is quite good!"

"Yes, I'm a bit short on cash lately, and I wasn't planning on buying a pet, but if it's this kind of quality, I might consider it!"

"They're all a bit too thin, boss. Didn't you get any plump ones?"

The crowd immediately began to discuss among themselves, looking at the young human cultivator before them as if he were a piece of merchandise.

Heaven is unkind, and fate is full of twists and turns.

Ye Xiaobai simply watched everything unfold before her eyes in silence.

Images of human cultivators' marketplaces flashed through his mind, where countless demonic beasts were also slaves. Speaking of which, beast taming was one of the hundred arts of cultivation.

Even Ye Xiaobai himself is a demon beast, namely the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard Zishan.

Thinking of this, all Ye Xiaobai could think of was the law of the jungle, the cruel reality of the cultivation world.

Just as Ye Xiaobai was lost in thought, the seven or eight young female human cultivators had already begun dancing to please the demons, as arranged by Boss Liu.

Her dance was graceful and elegant, with a touch of charm and allure, which drew praise from the demons.

However, Ye Xiaobai saw fear and despair in their eyes, and some of them had lifeless eyes, twitching like zombies.

As the dance ended and Boss Liu was about to arrange for the dancers to greet the distinguished guests attending today's trade fair, a gruff voice broke the lively atmosphere.

Upon hearing the sound, Mr. Liu immediately ran excitedly to the door to greet the distinguished guest.

"Senior Sun, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you, it's about to begin!"

A white cloak trailed behind him, two stunningly beautiful women stood on either side, and an elderly cultivator with a full head of white hair appeared before everyone.

This man was none other than Senior Sun, whom Boss Liu had mentioned. His name was Sun Jianfeng, and he was an eighth-tier Poison Scorpion, with strength equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
