Refining the Mountains and Rivers

The beast tide that the entire abyssal world was waiting for finally erupted. Even though it was a long distance from the city walls, one could still hear the cries of war. Thunderous claps resounded as the earth constantly trembled.

Today’s Great Deer City was more chaotic than ever. The abyssal demons that rushed through the streets all had panicked and flustered expressions.

Chattering filled the air. It was said that this time’s beast tide was different from before. The number of demon beasts gathering outside the city was far higher than ever recorded and their numbers were still increasing.

But Qin Yu didn’t care about this. No matter how many demon beasts there were, that only meant more abyssal demons would die.

As for whether or not Great Deer City would be breached…well, Great Deer City had the advantage of topography as well as sturdy walls that defended it. The city itself was filled with countless powerhouses, and through the tens of millions of years for which beast tides had been occurring, there had never been an accident.

Of course, even if he took a step back and considered the possibility that the beast tide would break into Great Deer City, so what? Qin Yu was confident in his strength. Even if he had to drag along a deadweight like Feature, he was sure that his escape speed would be far faster than the overwhelming majority of abyssal demons here.

If the city was breached there would inevitably be nothing but pure chaos and carnage. The demon beasts would be busy slaughtering and eating the abyssal demons, so it wouldn’t be difficult to withdraw in the chaos.

So, this matter only stayed in Qin Yu’s mind for a brief moment before he tossed it to the side.

Moments later, he stopped walking and looked up at Thousand Eye Temple in the distance. He saw the surging streams of people going in and out of the entrance and he sighed with emotion. This place was experiencing more and more business each day.

The blue-tailed demon appeared somewhat listless from exhaustion. After seeing Qin Yu he only casually nodded before hurrying along to help another guest.

This was deliberate neglect. It was just that as the beast tide erupted, all sorts of scarce materials were being wildly dumped and bought. No matter how high the prices rose, the volume of sales still climbed up.

In just a few days, there were seven or eight transactions that had a value of more than 10 million demon crystals. The largest one was said to be worth more than 40 million demon crystals.

Naturally, in such a hectic situation, Qin Yu’s preferential treatment in Thousand Eye Temple was greatly reduced.

But Qin Yu preferred this result, because he didn’t come here to buy, but to sell.

That’s right. What Qin Yu wanted to sell was the batch of demon medicine that Feature had refined the other day. She gave it a very loud and resounding name – the mighty heaven ascending pill!

It was indeed mighty and it could indeed help someone ascend to the heavens. That previously sturdy-looking and heavily wounded abyssal demon had swallowed three and was completely finished with just that.

He hadn’t seen the demon’s corpse afterwards, but he figured it had been dragged away by the demon guards. However, from what Qin Yu had seen, that demon could not be saved.

Tsk tsk, Qin Yu really couldn’t figure it out. The truth was placed right in front of Feature, so how did she have the face to continue trying for her first place fame?

And what he found most difficult to accept was that Feature unexpectedly asked him to sell these mighty heaven ascending pills. She wanted him to change them into demon crystals to purchase more materials so she could start refining again.

Listening to her speak, there might have been a minor problem with this batch of mighty heaven ascending pills. However, as long as she put in a bit more effort, the next batch of demon medicines was bound to be perfect!

Of course, it was fine just listening to this. Qin Yu didn’t take it seriously. So what if he disagreed? So what if he couldn’t accept it?

Facing the shameless Feature who continued walking with her head up as if nothing wrong had happened, he could only pinch his nose and nod. So, he came here to sell her mighty heaven ascending pills.

It wasn’t that Qin Yu hadn’t thought about finding a place to throw away these medicines, and then taking out a few abyssal demons and ‘borrowing’ their demon crystals to get this over with quickly.

But Feature seemed to have thought of this possibility already. She demanded that Qin Yu had to bring back the transaction receipt to her. After that, there was nothing else he could do.

This was why he came here today.

Following the streams of people, he entered the crowded Thousand Eye Temple. The hall had already been noisy and packed before, but now it had all risen by several degrees.

Each worker of Thousand Eye Temple was surrounded by a group of people as they dealt with various inquiries and questions. There were even long lines waiting at the front of the transaction counter windows.

Qin Yu glanced around and decided to give up the idea of looking for help. In any case, everyone was waiting so he could just find a line and stand there.

Thousand Eye Temple’s strength was without doubt. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to bloom in all levels of the abyss and establish countless branches.

There were no demons that dared to cause trouble here. So while the waiting process was slow, it proceeded smoothly and without accident.

It was finally Qin Yu’s turn.

A demon girl of the Rabbit Clan was standing behind the counter. Compared to other demon tribes, they had a considerably gentle and warm disposition. It was said that the entire clan was discussing the issue of vegetarianism and refused to drink blood.

As for why he could see this with a glance, it was because of the two drooping rabbit ears on her head as well as the rabbit dress she wore. At least in Qin Yu’s eyes, this costume was quite seductive.

“Hello, dear guest. May I ask what you need?” Although she was tired, the rabbit girl still smiled sweetly.

Qin Yu sat down and placed a jar on the tabletop. “Cough…I have some demon medicine here. Will you take it?”

Although he appeared calm, he didn’t have much energy when he spoke. He was afraid that they would take the jar and hurl it away.

The rabbit girl was stunned. She never thought that as the beast tide was erupting, someone would actually still be selling demon medicine. These days, everyone was desperately trying to purchase as much as they could.

But these doubts weren’t a problem. If these were qualified demon medicines, Thousand Eye Temple could still make a profit in reselling them.

“We will.” The rabbit girl looked at the jar of demon medicine on the tabletop. She said, “But before the transaction, we will need to examine it. Please wait a moment.”

Qin Yu stood up and said, “No problem. I’ll wait at the side.”

The rabbit girl sweetly smiled. “Then I will have to trouble you. We shall finish this as soon as possible.” She passed the jar to another worker before asking the next guest to come forward.

Perhaps business was too hot in Thousand Eye Temple, or perhaps in their opinion, the demon medicine that Qin Yu sold was nothing to speak of. Only after waiting a long time did the appraisal result come out. It was an ordinary jar of healing demon medicine, with a value of 22,000 demon crystals.

But this result was already beyond Qin Yu’s expectations. He even began to doubt Thousand Eye Temple’s appraisal level. They had determined this was ordinary healing demon medicine? Hoho, did he need to explain to them the meaning of the mighty heaven ascending pill?

Of course, Qin Yu wouldn’t trouble himself with warning them. As for which unlucky idiot they managed to sell these pills to in the end or what sort of trouble was provoked as a result, this wasn’t anything he needed to pay attention to.

As for the price…of course he had no problem. And strictly speaking, not counting the discount that the fox woman had given him, Feature had actually earned demon crystals.

“22,000 demon crystals. Guest, please receive it.” The rabbit girl spoke quickly as she handed a demon leather bag to Qin Yu.

“Can I bother you for a transaction receipt? The name of the demonic refining master is…cough cough…The Abyss’ Number One…” Qin Yu grimaced as he said this.

This was also one of the reasons why he was so resistant to coming to Thousand Eye Temple. If she wanted to leave a name she should just leave a name. Why be so impolite about it?

It was like she dared to swallow the heavens after opening her mouth!

Sure enough, the eyes of the surrounding demons, including the rabbit girl, all turned strange. The general meaning was – brother, you are so proud, just how did you manage to survive in the abyss until now?

“Drawing up the receipt will require some time. If dear guest wants to wait, there will be no problem.”

Qin Yu nodded, “Please.”

If he couldn’t bring back the receipt, that Feature woman would never stop bothering him.

After waiting a bit longer, he finally obtained a transaction receipt from the rabbit girl. Then he turned and walked out of Thousand Eye Temple.

While he hadn’t caused any commotion this time, that didn’t mean no one noticed him.

There were some people that had seen Qin Yu before in Thousand Eye Temple today. Their complexions changed and they revealed dread.

Originally when Qin Yu had disappeared two days ago, they assumed he had been eliminated already. They never thought he would show up again today.

And the people who had followed him before…a good number of them had vanished without any news.

With these facts combined…this person…he wasn’t someone good to provoke!

Many demons secretly rejoiced that they didn’t do anything before, otherwise the ones that vanished might have been them.

Besides them, someone else had noticed Qin Yu’s arrival. It was the fox woman with an enchanting posture and a charming demeanor.

When she was sending out a guest she inadvertently saw Qin Yu. She thought about it and didn’t approach him. But after he left, she went and asked what he had come here today for.

“Selling demon medicine?” The fox woman frowned, confused. From the amount of resources that Liu Huo had shown in his first transaction, there was no need for this.

Moreover, what he sold was only some ordinary healing demon medicine. After asking about the type, she immediately recalled the batch of materials he purchased. They just happened to match the ingredients needed for this type of ordinary healing medicine.

Waving a hand, she dismissed the worker in front of her. She returned to the reception room in the back and approached the resting old fox, reporting to him about this matter.

The old fox rubbed his forehead and said, “There’s no need to manage that Liu Huo person anymore. I’ve obtained some information on him. He’s just a demonic refining master of little fame from some remote area. He isn’t much of anything. And the first transaction definitely emptied out almost all of his demon crystals…”

As he spoke to here, he paused. He thought back to the first time he saw Liu Huo and what he felt…mm…perhaps it had just been an illusion…how could a little demonic refining master put any pressure on him?
