"Look, what do you think of this thing?" An Ling said with a naive look on her face, holding the mermaid's claw.

"Oh my god!" The gatekeeper disciple was so frightened that he ran inside, tumbling and crawling. After a while, An Ling, whose hearing was enhanced by practicing Taoism, heard his heart-wrenching shouting and could not help but burst out laughing.

Finally, An Ling was invited in respectfully. After all, a sect that could monopolize the business of exorcising demons in Hongliu Town and surrounding areas with its mediocre skills could not be made up of fools.

An Ling was invited to the main seat. On the ground in front of her were ten sea monster claws. Further in front of them were Taoist Wu, the head of Qingfeng Temple, who was nervously rubbing his hands with his head down, and a group of disciples of Qingfeng Temple.

"Seeing is believing. The abbot is indeed an immortal, and his disciples are all outstanding talents!" An Ling stood up, bowed and said with a smile.

"Oh!" Taoist Priest Wu was also a shrewd man. He knew that it was time for them to flatter each other. He stepped forward with a smile on his face and returned the greeting, "No, no, as the saying goes, heroes emerge from youth... girl, I grew up in seclusion in the city, but my one move shocked the wind and thunder! You are truly a role model for our generation! I am Wu Yu, nice to meet you, little fairy."

"Sword cultivator An Ling." An Ling also gave her name with a smile, "I have been living in a village by the sea recently. I didn't expect the sea monsters to wreak such havoc, so I had to act rashly. Now, I heard that your sect is also famous for conquering demons, so I came to visit with my claws."

In fact, her words had a hint of "paying respects" and a bit of dissatisfaction with the poor demon-exorcising business of Qingfeng Temple. What she meant was that you guys couldn't cover the place where I live, so I had to do it myself. Knowing that Qingfeng Temple has a high status in the nearby underworld, she came to pay her respects and establish a friendship with it.

After this round of flattery, Wu Yu's wrinkled face was stretched out. He knew his own worth very well, but he did not expect to be recognized by a true master. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "No, no..."

The two exchanged pleasantries and finally got to the point. An Ling said, "These claws are useless to me. I wonder if your sect needs them?"

"Yes! Of course!" After hearing this, Wu Yu's eyes glowed green with excitement as he stared at the claws. The hardness and attack power of the mermaid's claws are among the best among many monsters. They are excellent materials for making weapons. Usually, it takes most of the magic weapons and talismans in the warehouse to fight a mermaid. Now that he saw such a large pile of claws, how could he not be excited.

"Okay, you guys go out first. I want to talk to this Immortal An." He waved away the disciples who were watching and continued to drool at the mermaid's claws.

Uh, he wouldn't think it was given for free... An Ling was speechless as she saw him almost drooling. She came here to exchange these things for money and then prepare the travel expenses to Canglan Sword Sect. Don't really think that he is a rich and powerful master who gives away materials for free.

"Ahem, I wonder what price Taoist Wu can offer?" She asked directly without any shame.

It was also her first time selling materials, and the "Baidu" search engine left for her by her masters did not have such detailed price information, so she had to try and figure it out on her own.

"This number?" Wu Yu covered his face with his sleeves and pointed at An Ling with four fingers mysteriously.

An Ling had no idea about the price, but life is like a play and it all depends on your acting skills. She frowned and remained silent.

Seeing that An Ling was dissatisfied, Wu Yu gritted his teeth and added, "This! This is already the limit in our opinion!" He pointed with another finger.

An Ling, who had bargained many times in business, knew that if the other party said that the price was the limit, it must be a lie and could be raised further!

She looked very embarrassed and said sincerely: "Master Wu, it's difficult for me too. Look at me, I'm dressed like this. Qingfeng Temple is a big family with a great cause. Please don't embarrass a casual cultivator like me."

Wu Yu sneered in his heart. Pity you? Then who pity my money? He is still a casual cultivator. At this age, he can kill so many sea monsters so easily. Can he be a real casual cultivator?

He rubbed his hands and said with embarrassment: "This..."

As expected, an old fox! He doesn't even take the emotional card! An Ling rolled her eyes. It seemed that she could only use her ultimate move...

"Ah! In that case, I won't make it difficult for you, Master. After all, it's really hard to deal with so many Siren Claws in a short time. So, I'll go look somewhere else. Bye."

The last trick for bargaining is to pretend to leave!

An Ling sighed and pretended to pack up her things, but she was actually counting silently in her heart: "One, two, three..."

"Wait!" After a struggle between his conscience and his desire, Wu Yu called out to An Ling, "One more! If you're not satisfied, then... then I can't do anything about it!"

Wu Yu looked at An Ling, gritting his teeth in hatred, but now he was begging others to sell it to him, and this thing was in short supply, so he had to get it! So he had to keep An Ling at a seriously overpriced price.

"Okay! Master, please speak quickly. I'll do this deal!"

……

After leaving Qingfeng Temple, An Ling happily bought herself a candied haws and ate it while walking. This was such a rare act of luxury, one can imagine how much she earned this time.

"Oh, it's worthy of being the Qingfeng Temple in Hongliu Town. Not only is it rich, it also gave me a storage ring." An Ling thought. She had already taken the storage ring with her and would never lose it. It was a lifeline of the same level as the sword given to her by her master!

Just as she was happily shopping, a large flock of crows flew over her head, cawing, and one wicked fellow even fired a missile at the candied haws in her hand!

"Ahhh! You damn crow!" An Ling was so angry that she was fuming. Looking at the contaminated candied haws, she could only sigh deeply and throw it away. It's not that she didn't think about throwing away the dirty part before eating it, but she felt that as a Blue Star person and a little master, her idol image couldn't let her be so dirty...

"Hey, little girl, I don't know what's going on, but there are a lot of crows in Hongliu Town recently. One night, a large black flock of them flew over and covered the moon. It really scared me!" said an old lady to An Ling.

"Crows..." An Ling pondered for a moment and found it a little strange. She remembered that before an earthquake or some natural disaster, small animals would behave abnormally. Could it be...

"Auntie, will there be an earthquake here? Or is something going to happen soon?" An Ling said worriedly.

The old lady made a sound of "Puh" and said, "Don't say these unlucky words. Hurry up and spit and say it again. These things can't be said. Once you say them, they will really happen!"

"Ah? Oh..." Although An Ling didn't know what the use was, she was infected by the old lady's mysterious atmosphere and spat in a very unskilled manner...

Seeing that she was so well behaved, the old lady started talking again, "Recently, I keep hearing that there are small creatures like rabbits to pick up in the woods outside the city. Many people go to pick them up. Although I don't know why their bodies are shrunken, they still have meat. We poor people just want to eat them. But the people who pick them up and eat them somehow get a strange disease! Any part of the body that has come into contact with them becomes rotten! Hands, feet, throat, stomach, intestines, oh, it's so disgusting to look at! So I say, we really shouldn't take advantage of some small bargains." After that, she pulled a few onions from the vegetable stall.

An Ling's eyes became sharp. This was definitely not a coincidence. Something happened outside the city! And it was very likely caused by a demon!

"Quack!" A shrill cry of a crow sounded from above An Ling's head, scaring her so much that she jumped while she was thinking! She looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a black shadow falling from top to bottom at a very fast speed, and then it fell heavily to the ground with a bang. Everyone looked closely and found that it was a dead crow, and it died in the shriveled appearance that the old lady had just described.

Ignoring the screams of the old lady beside her, An Ling stared at a certain direction, skillfully unwrapped "Xiangzhu" with both hands, pulled out the long sword and held it tightly in her hand.

When she picked up the sword, her whole temperament changed. Before, she was just like an ordinary girl. Her energy came from her heart. After holding the sword, the sword intent from the bottom of her heart made her like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and unstoppable.

"Auntie, you and everyone else should get away from here quickly. A monster has appeared."

Everyone was running away in panic, except An Ling, who was standing forward with a sword in hand.

Although there are tens of millions of people, I am going.
