Chapter 201 Zhou Dao's Big Deal
Chigui Tower, inner hall.
The room was not big. There was a huge copper stove standing in the center, with charcoal fire burning underneath. The heat emitted by the rising flames raised the temperature in the room to an unbearable level.
"Beast gold charcoal!?"
Zhou Dao glanced at it and couldn't help showing a strange look.
Each charcoal under the copper stove is only about the size of a palm. It is completely black and has purple lines like animal marks on its surface. It is polyhedral and has a crystal-like luster.
This is no ordinary charcoal. It is said to be made from a type of wood called [animal bone]. Dozens of precious materials have been added. After hundreds of processes, the texture is like gold and the heat generated is ten times that of ordinary charcoal.
More than enough.
Once this kind of animal gold charcoal burns, it will not go out even in the wind and snow.
A piece of [Beast Gold Charcoal] can keep the house warm all night.
However, animal gold charcoal is more expensive than gold, and most people with money cannot buy it.
In the entire Pingjiang City, only [Tianhexuan] can manufacture and sell animal gold charcoal, and it only supplies 8,372 kilograms and 8 taels and nine cents per year.
A few years ago, Wang Xiaoyi's biological father, Wang Jujia, asked someone to buy a piece of animal gold charcoal through channels. He regarded it as a treasure and kept it at home, never wanting to burn it.
Whenever a distinguished guest comes to visit, Wang Jujia will invite the beast gold charcoal, firstly for the guests to view, and secondly to show off his family connections.
After all, not everyone can own this thing.
Even among the three families, only the direct descendants of the eldest family have the quota of [Beast Gold Charcoal] every winter.
"You are so rich that you can use it as firewood." Zhou Dao couldn't help but mutter.
This furnace of beast gold charcoal is estimated to be worth fifty or sixty taels of gold. If there wasn't someone nearby, Zhou Dao would even want to grab the furnace and take it out.
The charcoal ash of Beast Gold Charcoal is a treasure, and there are specialized dealers outside who buy it from big families.
It is said that this thing can be used as medicine, and many wealthy people are willing to spend money to buy it.
Just this stove ashes can probably be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.
"After all, he is engaged in black market business. He is really smart and has no shortage of money." Zhou Dao sighed inwardly and sat down.
At this moment, Chi Chengfeng's attention was all focused on Ha Shiqi.
A second ago he was a big, ferocious dog demon, but now he looks like a little puppy.
Such magical power made Chi Chengfeng think highly of him.
"I wonder what your distinguished guest is called." Chi Chengfeng asked.
"My surname is Zhou. I was introduced by Mr. Yuan."
"Huh?" Chi Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and then a strange luster appeared in his eyes.
He originally thought that Zhou Dao was a dragon who had crossed the river, or perhaps was sent by his enemy to test the waters. Who would have thought that he was actually one of his own?
You know, the relationship between Mr. Yuan and [Red Ghost] is so important that almost no outsiders know about it.
Zhou Dao was able to tell Mr. Yuan's name, and Chi Chengfeng believed it instantly without any doubt.
"It turns out he is one of our own." Chi Chengfeng clapped his hands and laughed.
This smile came from the bottom of his heart, and even the beautiful woman next to him showed a strange expression.
She had rarely seen her leader so happy.
"It's really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple." Chi Chengfeng said with a bitter smile: "If Brother Zhou had revealed his identity earlier, there would be no such misunderstanding. Brother Zhou would definitely pick you up personally."
"Huh?" Zhou Dao looked suspicious.
Although it was Mr. Yuan who introduced him, the leader of the Red Ghost behaved a little too enthusiastically, and his enthusiasm was a little abnormal.
"Since Brother Zhou came to greet you today, I have to express my gratitude. If you need anything, just ask." Chi Chengfeng said boldly.
He is a black market tycoon and the leader of the red ghosts. He handles countless amounts of money every day. No matter what Zhou Dao needs, it should not be a problem for him.
"I have some treasures that I want to take action on."
As he spoke, Zhou Dao turned his hand, and a wooden box appeared in his palm.
"Um?"
Chi Chengfeng's eyes lit up. Even with his level of cultivation, he couldn't tell where Zhou Dao took out the square wooden box.
Treasures like the Green Pan Treasure Bag are not common.
Zhou Dao opened the wooden box, and a pungent fishy smell came out.
Ha Shiqi was lying there, and suddenly his nose moved, showing unprecedented excitement.
"Tail tiger beard!?" Chi Chengfeng recognized it at a glance.
There was a long red mane in the wooden box, more than three feet long, as bright as fire, and exuding a special fishy smell.
"Brother Zhou's skills are extraordinary, and he even has such extremely eccentric monsters." Chi Chengfeng became very interested.
[Tail Tiger Beard] is no ordinary demon treasure.
It is recorded in the "Work Manual of the Demon Control Division" that in ancient times, there was a strange tiger in the mountains called "Tailed Tiger". Its tail was extremely huge. If the tiger moved its tail, the mountain would collapse. The people could not bear the disturbance, so they summoned Taoist priests to kill it.
Conquer.
Later, people discovered that the tail of this monster had a special ability. If a woman drank it, she would be able to grow a tail and her personality and appearance would change accordingly.
There was once a mountain man who had a fierce wife at home who weighed three hundred kilograms. He squeezed her day and night, shouted and drank her, and even punched and kicked her when he got interested.
Later, the mountain people asked for a piece of tiger tail from a nearby Taoist temple and secretly put it into his wife's food bowl.
After eating, my wife suddenly felt hot and thirsty, and she meowed like a cat without realizing it. At that time, a cat's tail actually grew out of her back.
From then on, my wife became docile and lazy, no longer as fierce as before, and she always liked to curl up on the lap of the mountain man and let him knead and caress her.
The mountain people were overjoyed and thought they would live happily ever after.
Who would have thought that after seven days, the cat's tail disappeared and the fierce wife returned to normal. When she knew the truth, she became so angry that she killed the mountain people in one fell swoop.
After taking [Tiger Tail Whiskers], a woman will have a tail, which is only effective for seven days. The changes are different for each person, such as cat tail, leopard tail, fox tail, white tiger tail... all kinds of charms, different experiences.
Many wealthy and aristocratic men are particularly fond of this change in women and are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
Even many brothels and flower shops will prepare precious "tiger tail whiskers" for the girls who serve customers to take them and grow different tails in groups for customers to choose for their enjoyment.
It is said that the Wanhua Building in Pingjiang City holds such an event every month, called [Beast Tail Night], and the business is quite booming.
Therefore, the value of such a magical treasure as [Tail Tiger Beard] is self-evident.
"This is a good thing and can be sold for a good price." Chi Chengfeng squinted his eyes and gently stroked the long red beard.
Not to mention those individual tourists, Wanhualou alone spends a lot of money every month to purchase such treasures.
This is a steady stream of money.
"What price do you want to sell it for?" Chi Chengfeng closed the lid of the box and asked directly.
"What do you think?" Zhou Dao smiled. When doing business for the first time, he had to see what price the other party would give and whether it would be kind or not.
"Let me declare first that I want to use monster corpses to settle the settlement."
"Monster corpse!?" Chi Chengfeng was startled, then showed a strange expression.
There are also many customers in the black market who want to trade monster corpses.
"Brother Zhou is really a corpse. Right now, there are a lot of monster corpses being traded in the black market." Chi Chengfeng frowned: "So much so that the price of monster corpses has increased a lot these days."
"Huh? Why?" Zhou Dao asked.
"I heard that Yuan Clan is searching for monsters in large quantities, whether alive or dead." Chi Chengfeng was also a little surprised.
Yuan Men's actions were a bit abnormal. He received news that Yuan Men had acquired almost hundreds of monsters, and there was no sign of stopping.
