Dragon's Origin

Chapter 90: The Purpose of Selling Meat (Part 2)

Through this process, Wang Sheng could learn a lot. The aforementioned knowledge of body structures was just the basics. Wang Sheng even needed to deduce the habitat and habits of a demon beast based on certain structures in its body.

With these direct observations, coupled with the demon beast encyclopedias and habit manuals Wang Sheng could buy elsewhere, he could truly understand a demon beast inside and out.

Each additional demon beast's physiology he knew, and each additional habit he deduced, increased his chances of survival. He might never encounter a certain living demon beast, but knowing about it would give him a way to cope if he ever did.

In the eyes of others, Wang Sheng's method of selling meat was quite unique. He separated each part, selling the good parts for more and the inferior parts for less, allowing buyers to freely choose what they wanted. This was great, giving everyone a choice and providing a completely different shopping experience.

Smart people immediately stepped up to pick and choose, specifically buying the best parts they knew of. Although the price was a bit higher, it was still much cheaper than buying the whole demon beast, and they could afford it. These unique parts, accumulated over time, might even slightly improve their cultivation.

Once someone had the idea, others quickly followed. As more people chose the prime cuts, they were quickly sold out.

Those who didn't get the best meat were inevitably a little disappointed, but on the other hand, the remaining meat, while not as good, was cheaper! Why was life so difficult in Worry-Free City? It was because of the high prices! Buying slightly inferior meat at a lower price wasn't bad!

As a result, even the non-prime cuts sold quite well. Wang Sheng wasn't in a hurry for the rest. As long as he reached the First Realm, demon beast meat wouldn't rot, so he could leave it there and sell it slowly. He would always be able to sell it.

With the remaining meat hanging on the meat hooks, Wang Sheng began to clean the Second Realm demon beast. He followed the same process: observing and kneading first, thoroughly understanding it externally, then skinning, dissecting, and disassembling it. The whole process was both informative and entertaining. Many people crowded around the entrance of the butcher shop just to watch Wang Sheng's performance.

The performance was free, used to attract buyers. After the cutting, there was another round of grabbing or not grabbing, selling as much as he could. Wang Sheng kept what he couldn't sell, not feeling sorry at all. He could eat it himself, or sell it cheaper when he had accumulated enough. He would never be stuck with it.

Demon beasts in the First and Second Realms weren't worth much. Even multiplying the outside price by ten would only be a few dozen silver coins per pound, not even reaching the gold coin level. But with hundreds or thousands of pounds, accumulating little by little, he could still earn dozens of gold coins.

Dozens of gold coins weren't much, but earning money steadily and safely was much more reassuring than licking blood from a knife's edge.

Once the business opened, it would gradually stabilize. Wang Sheng sold meat when he had customers and lay comfortably in his rocking chair when he didn't. Everything seemed to be settling down.

No one knew that while Wang Sheng was rocking in his rocking chair, his Yuan Soul space seemed to be boiling. More than a thousand small Chiwen, like a thousand piranhas, were frantically gnawing at the mountain, with the acupoints and Yuan Soul constantly absorbing spiritual energy, never stopping for a moment.

Wang Sheng now faced another problem. After the small Chiwen devoured the medium-sized giant rock, their size had increased significantly, now looking twice as big as before. If calculated according to his original cultivation realm, if Wang Sheng wasn't careful, the small Chiwen would grow even larger, and his cultivation realm would again appear to be in the First Realm to outsiders.

If he didn't want to expose himself, Wang Sheng had only one way: to split his Yuan Soul again. Split the current one thousand and twenty-four into two thousand and forty-eight. Doubling the number would also make the Chiwen's strength appear half as weak. Outwardly, it would still seem that Wang Sheng was still an insignificant ordinary person.

Dividing his mind for two purposes was troublesome enough, let alone dividing it into one thousand and twenty-four strands. Originally, reaching this point was almost Wang Sheng's limit, but to avoid exposing his cultivation changes, Wang Sheng had to split his Yuan Soul again, separating his consciousness into more parts. But this wasn't easy; at least Wang Sheng's current control wasn't enough to control more Chiwen than he currently had.

At the same time, special representatives sent by various families had already embarked on their journey to Worry-Free City. Now, almost all the family forces in Worry-Free City were ordered not to provoke Wang Sheng, but to try to build a good relationship with him. The real handling of these relationships would be done by the special representatives appointed by each family.

The Thousand Desolation Land was of great importance. For hundreds of years, all parties had been helpless. Finally, someone emerged who could enter from the Shi family's side and exit from the Worry-Free City side. In any case, the major families had to find a breakthrough from Wang Sheng.

As for Wang Sheng's grudges with the various families, in the face of the Thousand Desolation Land, even the greatest grudges could be written off. As long as Wang Sheng nodded, even those who had offended him before would come to apologize.

Apart from the major families, the female owner of Baoqing Surplus Hall was also on her way. In this regard, Baoqing Surplus Hall was a bit behind Yu Baozhai. They had not anticipated that Wang Sheng could really cross the Thousand Desolation Land and come to Worry-Free City, losing the initiative. But as soon as they received the news, the female owner immediately abandoned other business and set off, traveling day and night.

Yu Baozhai was not idle either. Lu Wenhou had bet on Wang Sheng's ability to cross the Thousand Desolation Land and won once, but he was not satisfied. The previous mention of finding imperial physicians and imperial alchemists to help Wang Sheng examine his body was not just empty talk, but was directly arranged.

Now, an imperial physician and an imperial alchemist were being led on a journey day and night, all the way to Worry-Free City. In addition, an internal Soul Refiner from Yu Baozhai was also on his way. As soon as they arrived, Lu Wenhou would invite Wang Sheng and ask the imperial physician and Soul Refiner to help examine Wang Sheng's body and Yuan Soul.

In a remote courtyard in Worry-Free City, a black-clad woman wearing a veil, with a frosty look in her eyes, was carefully examining her weapons. Her slender and powerful body, her straight and slender calves, if Wang Sheng saw her, he would definitely feel that he had seen her somewhere.

Of course, if Da Er and Da Xiong, whom Wang Sheng killed when he killed Fourth Master Dai, were still alive, they would definitely be able to recognize that this black-clad woman was their leader, the assassin A Qi.

Because A Qi had to go back to inquire about news about the Phoenix, leaving Da Er and Da Xiong behind, the result was that both of them died at Wang Sheng's hands. Da Er and Da Xiong were not only A Qi's subordinates, but also A Qi's childhood playmates, family members who grew up together. A Qi would never let them die in vain like that.
