7: Chapter 7 The Birth of Kang Bapi

Outside the wooden hut, a few wooden chairs for resting had been added, and rows of grilled fish were laid out on them.

"Huh." Kang Dalei exclaimed in surprise. His figure quickly moved to sit beside the wooden chairs, and he picked up a grilled fish and sniffed it.

"Hmm, it smells good. I wonder if it tastes good."

As he said this, he had already taken a big bite.

"Sss, so delicious."

Kang Dalei blew on the fish while praising how good it was, completely forgetting about the two people hiding in the fish pond practicing.

"This fish is quite something."

In a flash, he devoured all four fish.

At this moment, Kang Dalei leaned back on the wooden chair, crossing his legs, looking extremely comfortable.

"Who made this fish? The craft is really good."

Ruan Mi had snuck up beside Kang Dalei at some point and asked cautiously:

"Is the boss satisfied?"

Kang Dalei nodded.

Ruan Mi asked again, "Does the boss want a few more?"

Kang Dalei bared his teeth and smiled as he looked at Ruan Mi, who had turned into an obedient little baby at this moment.

"Speak up, what kind of deal do you want to make with this handsome guy? If it's about flesh, I'm very particular. First of all, I'm a germaphobe; if you aren't a virgin, I don't want it."

"And..."

Kang Dalei went on and on, while Ruan Mi suppressed the urge to beat him up, nodding continuously.

It wasn't until the last sentence that Ruan Mi finally snapped.

"That said, I like many women. You can only be a concubine, and you'll be at the very end of the line."

"Smack!"

Ruan Mi punched the load-bearing wall next to her hard. She couldn't take it anymore, grabbed Kang Dalei by the collar, and said angrily:

"Even if nobody likes me, I wouldn't marry a liar and a pervert like you! And what's so special about your weird cultivation technique? I don't care for it!"

[Ding-dong, temporary mission released: Have the three members of the Heavenly Demon Sect perform body refining. Reward: One drop of god sovereign jade marrow fluid.]

After saying this, Ruan Mi stormed off, but just as she lifted her leg, her suspended calf was tightly grabbed by Kang Dalei.

"Little Mi, don't be angry. I was just joking. You've grown up to be so fierce?"

"What did you say?" Ruan Mi glared at Kang Dalei.

Kang Dalei immediately changed his tune, "No, I didn't mean you have a bad temper. I meant to say, you have such a good figure; if it were me, I'd definitely marry you. No, wait, that's not it."

Ruan Mi listened to Kang Dalei's nonsense for a long time without making any sense, and she prepared to kick the leech off her.

Fortunately, Kang Dalei mentioned the words "body refining" in time, causing Ruan Mi to lower her foot, which was suspended in the air just a millimeter from his face.

"You mentioned body refining, what kind of body refining?"

In the end, after some smooth-talking and practical demonstration by Kang Dalei, Ruan Mi actually believed him.

She had no choice but to believe it. With Kang Dalei as a living experiment right here, plus her belief that if a coward like him could become stronger than her through body refining, she would surely be able to beat up thirty Kang Daleis if she practiced it.

"Body refining sounds good, but how do I go about it?"

Ruan Mi continued to ask.

Regarding the path of body refining, currently only Xiao Jinyu and Yan Kuan of Yuanchu City, and the protagonist's father, Body-Refining Martial God Meng Dajiang, knew about it.

The people in the remote corner of Dongning Prefecture naturally didn't know.

"Body refining naturally requires awakening the Sha. The Sha is the scorching poison of heaven and earth, and the Black Water Fish Pond is the divine artifact for cleansing this scorching poison."

"But if you want to awaken the Sha, you still need this thing: the xuanpin star."

Kang Dalei took out an object. It was the xuanpin star, a top-grade treasure capable of activating at least the Five-Colored Sha, a rare item of which there weren't many in the entire Cangyuan World.

"The xuanpin star." Although Ruan Mi hadn't seen it before, just by looking at it, she could feel the massive energy contained within it.

"How do I obtain it?" Ruan Mi asked.

Kang Dalei held up one finger.

"Ten monster cores, and they must be from High-Level Monster Soldiers."

Ruan Mi's expression turned ugly, "Where am I supposed to find ten High-Level Monster Soldier cores for you?"

"Then forget it." Kang Dalei waved his hand.

Although this thing only cost ten points each, as a middleman, shouldn't he make a little profit?

Selling it for 65 points is reasonable, right?

Ruan Mi was furious, stomped her feet, snorted heavily, and cursed at Kang Dalei:

"Kang the Skinflint, you just wait!"

Half an hour later, Ruan Mi threw several monster cores into Kang Dalei's arms with an ugly expression.

"That's all there is."

Kang Dalei took the monster cores, his expression immediately becoming excited.

A Demon King core, High-Level Monster Soldier cores, and several mid-level monster soldier cores.

The value was around sixty points.

"Right away, right away, I'll get you the xuanpin star. Just wait a moment."

Kang Dalei rushed off, pretending to go into the back room.

Seeing his treacherous merchant face, Ruan Mi wished she could go up and bite him a few times.

"Kang Dalei, after I finish body refining, I will definitely beat you until you're looking for your teeth on the floor."

Before long, Kang Dalei walked out grinning, holding a xuanpin star that emitted a baleful aura. Seeing Ruan Mi's resentful expression, he said solemnly:

"Little Mi, you must keep your xuanpin star safe."

Kang Dalei gave a word of advice, but Ruan Mi acted as if she hadn't seen him, grabbed the xuanpin star from Kang Dalei's hand, and walked out.

She only felt hatred for this bastard Kang Dalei.

That Demon King core was a keepsake left by her father, and now it had been ruined by this bastard.

"Kang Dalei, one day I will take my revenge."

After sending Ruan Mi off, Kang Dalei went to find Xiahou La and his Dongning Prefecture prison mate, Old He.

Both of them said they had no money, so they signed a hundred-year repayment debt contract with Kang Dalei.

One was a damn eunuch, the other a damn transvestite. Kang Dalei just gave them a few quick instructions and left.

That night, the Fishing Village seemed exceptionally lively.

Ruan Mi, Xiahou La, and Old He all awakened the Five-Colored Sha.

That night, the appearance of the Fishing Village took on a whole new look.

[Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for spending 100 points to purchase a weapon rack.]

As the weapon rack appeared, it was filled with a dazzling array of divine weapons. From the Foundation Establishment Realm down to the Creation Realm, there wasn't a weapon that the rack didn't have, only ones you couldn't imagine.

Employees get a 20% discount; the boss does not.

When he saw these ten words, Kang Dalei instantly refused to accept it.

"Why do they get a 20% discount while I have to pay full price? Isn't this bullying an honest man?"

[Ding-dong, the items on the rack are priced by the host. The system does not participate in the buying and selling; the system only provides the items and collects the monster cores.]

"So that's how it is." Kang Dalei's expression changed faster than turning a page; the angry look from a moment ago was instantly replaced by a treacherous merchant's face.

"Then, I'll set the prices for you guys."

Kang Dalei busied himself at the weapon rack with a beaming smile. He priced the Foundation Establishment Realm weapons, which originally sold for one point, at ten points, and the Internal Refining Realm weapons, which were originally two points, at twenty points.

Of course, even these low-grade weapons were incomparable to ordinary blades in the Cangyuan World.

At the very least, they could kill monsters above their rank and even had special additional effects.

For example, some weapons added attack power, some added critical hits, some added defense, some could heal, some increased attack speed, and some allowed for blinking.

In any case, everything produced by the system is high-quality.

By the next day, when Ruan Mi and the others woke up, they were all dumbfounded to see a weapon storehouse floating outside the wooden hut.

"Th-this, what is this?" Several people asked Kang Dalei, looking confused.

Kang Dalei lay on the wooden chair and said, looking devil-may-care:

"The Bodhi Patriarch's weapon storehouse, one of the nine great innate supreme treasures. It can contain all things and has every rare treasure in the world. As long as you want it, there's nothing it doesn't have."
