Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Chapter 256: Chapter 114: The Dafeng Chronicles! Donglin Ghost Market!_4

As soon as the man with the ox-headed mask began to speak, he stated a price of thirty thousand Taels of silver, and he wouldn’t accept any bargaining, or the deal would be off!

While Su Changkong was pondering, the man with the ox-headed mask continued, “The information about the Demon Monster that I’m selling is absolutely detailed. Information about Demon Monsters is restricted in the outside world, and no matter how much money you spend, it would be difficult to acquire it.”

Thirty thousand Taels was indeed a fortune for the average person, but for the current Su Changkong, thirty thousand Taels was a burden that he could afford. If he could obtain information on the Demon Monster, especially the function of its Crystal Core, for thirty thousand Taels of silver, it was completely acceptable!

With that thought in mind, Su Changkong didn’t haggle and slowly nodded, “Alright, then thirty thousand Taels it is.”

Of course, Su Changkong was not a fool. If the man with the ox-headed mask was just trying to scam his money, then Su Changkong would make him pay a heavy price!

However, upon hearing Su Changkong agree to spend thirty thousand Taels of silver for the information on the Demon Monster, the man with the ox-headed mask changed his tone, “Thirty thousand Taels is indeed a bit expensive. If you would help me out with a favor, I will give you the information on the Demon Monster for free.”

These words caused Su Changkong’s expression to darken beneath his mask; the true purpose of the man with the ox-headed mask was not to sell the information on the Demon Monster, but to test him!

If Su Changkong hesitated too much, or refused, it would indicate that thirty thousand Taels of silver was a huge burden for him, and his capabilities were only average.

But Su Changkong agreed without much hesitation to purchase the Demon Monster’s information for thirty thousand Taels of silver, which indicated he was no ordinary character.

No average person could possibly spend thirty thousand Taels of silver for information on a Demon Monster. After all, just to satisfy one’s curiosity would require a huge sum of thirty thousand Taels of silver, not even the children of wealthy families would do that!

Since Su Changkong could put forward thirty thousand Taels of silver for the information and agreed so readily, it indicated that the information on the Demon Monster was very important to him, and he was not someone ordinary!

Therefore, the man with the ox-headed mask switched his approach and suggested that Su Changkong help him out with a favor, and the information on the Demon Monster would be the reward.

Without thinking, Su Changkong knew that the favor the man with the ox-headed mask wanted would be troublesome.

Yet, Su Changkong still said, “What favor? Let’s hear it first.”

The man with the ox-headed mask said, “Help me kill two people.”

“Sorry, find someone else.” Hearing this, Su Changkong stood up, with no further intention to continue any transactions with the man with the ox-headed mask.

The man with the ox-headed mask wanting him to kill two people, and not needing thirty thousand Taels of silver for it, implied that these two people were not easy targets, and their worth was definitely far more than thirty thousand Taels of silver.

Su Changkong didn’t want to be unwittingly used as a tool in someone else’s scheme, especially when he knew nothing about the identities of the two individuals the other party wanted dead. He had no quarrel or grievance with them, and had no interest in killing people just for a bit of information.

Of course, the main reason was that Su Changkong didn’t believe that the man with the ox-headed mask was the only one in the Ghost Market with information about the Demon Monster. If need be, he could simply set up a stall outside and offer a high price to buy the relevant information. At worst, he would spend a few tens of thousands of Taels of silver, which would involve less effort and attract fewer problems than agreeing to the man with the ox-headed mask’s request.

“Wait a minute!”

Seeing Su Changkong was about to leave, the man with the ox-headed mask became somewhat anxious.

“I guess what you want to know is not information on the Demon Monster, but rather the function of the Demon Monster’s Crystal Core, right?” the man with the ox-headed mask blurted out in desperation.
