Chapter 142 - 136: Odd Demon Pavilion
Faced with Yu Changsheng’s sudden request to change the name, Yu Dahai’s expression grew serious.
"Odd Demon Pavilion?"
Yu Dahai savored the name, pondering it carefully.
After a long moment, he slammed his hand on the table in approval. "This name," he said, "is indeed much better than our current Treasure Demon Pavilion!"
"Besides," Yu Dahai glanced at Yu Changsheng, then at the Demon Beasts he had modified. He took a deep breath, his eyes lighting up.
"And calling ourselves the Odd Demon Pavilion is truly fitting. After all, Brother Changsheng, these Demon Beasts you’ve raised are all one-of-a-kind. What else could they be but Odd Demons!"
The name Odd Demon Pavilion was a perfect fit!
"Yes. Go ahead and take care of this. If we promote it well during this period, then once the Odd Demon Pavilion makes a name for itself, our business will definitely be booming!"
Yu Changsheng said with conviction.
Yu Dahai nodded in agreement. He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, "I actually have an idea. Let me run it by you, Brother Changsheng, and see what you think."
"Why don’t we just hold an auction! A special auction just for these Odd Demons! Not only will it completely establish our reputation, but many people will definitely be interested in these kinds of Demon Beasts. It’s awkward for us to set a price, so why not let them bid themselves? That way, we can maximize our profits!"
After hearing Yu Dahai’s proposal, Yu Changsheng thought for two minutes, then patted Yu Dahai on the shoulder in approval. "An excellent idea, Dahai," he said appreciatively. "Let’s do it your way!"
"As for promotion, how can we create a really good gimmick..."
Yu Changsheng mused for two seconds. Looking at the pile of Spirit Beasts, he got an idea. "When you’re promoting it, make it sound a bit more mysterious. For example..."
"A chicken that can play basket... Wooden Ball!"
"Huh?" Yu Dahai was taken aback.
"Whoops," Yu Changsheng said with a sheepish, embarrassed smile, waving his hand. "My mistake."
Composing himself, a smile touched the corners of Yu Changsheng’s lips.
"Just say we have a mutated Spirit Beast suspected of possessing a trace of the Nine Heavens Phoenix bloodline... a descendant from the bloodline of the Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox... and also, a lost descendant of the Sun God Bird, the Three-legged Golden Crow..."
"Promote it like that, and I’m sure plenty of people will be interested. We won’t have to worry about a lack of attendance."
"!!!" Yu Dahai’s eyes went wide, and he sucked in a sharp breath.
He shot Yu Changsheng a thumbs-up.
"Okay! We’ll promote it just like that!"
Yu Dahai nodded firmly. Looking at the Spirit Beasts that Yu Changsheng had modified, he had to admit that if he hadn’t personally witnessed Yu Changsheng’s bizarre methods and had only heard the advertisements, he would most likely have been taken in as well.
’As for false advertising... isn’t it normal these days for the product to not match the description? Besides, we only said it was *possible*, *suspected*. Is there a problem with that? No problem at all!’
’Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they don’t really have these Divine Beast bloodlines, their appearance alone means the price can’t be low. It all comes down to a willing seller and a willing buyer.’
"But..."
Yu Dahai was ready to spring into action after making his decision, but he still hesitated.
"But what?" Yu Changsheng shot a glance at Yu Dahai.
"But if we advertise like this, won’t we attract some people with malicious intentions? If someone tries to cause trouble at the event, and we don’t have a powerful backer or a Great Power to hold down the fort, we could easily be crushed."
Yu Dahai hesitated for a moment before voicing his concerns.
It was a good thing to possess treasures, but without the corresponding strength to maintain control, he feared the auction would not be able to proceed and they would be targeted by unscrupulous parties.
"So that’s what you’re worried about..."
Yu Changsheng acknowledged that Yu Dahai’s concerns were valid. So, to put him at ease, with a flicker of his Divine Thought, he used the Disguise Hanging Pearl to instantly unleash a heaven-shaking pressure that swept toward Yu Dahai.
BOOM!!!
Spiritual Qi surged uncontrollably through the area. The surrounding Low Tier Demon Beasts dropped to the ground, trembling and whimpering as they stared at Yu Changsheng in terror.
As for Yu Dahai, his face turned deathly pale and his legs went weak. If Yu Changsheng hadn’t caught him, he would have collapsed to his knees.
Feeling the vast, surging aura around Yu Changsheng—an aura as boundless as the sea—Yu Dahai felt as if he were facing a primordial flood or a ferocious beast. This aura...
"Foun... Foundation Establishment?!"
His face pale, Yu Dahai tremblingly spat out two words after a long moment.
’This kind of presence... it’s absolutely not something a Qi Refining Cultivator could possess! The only possible explanation... is Foundation Establishment!’
’Yu Changsheng has reached Foundation Establishment?’ The thought exploded in Yu Dahai’s mind like a clap of thunder, churning up a tempest.
The idea felt so absurd that all he could feel was shocked disbelief.
’How long has it been? And Yu Changsheng has already reached Foundation Establishment... This Cultivation speed... It was almost unimaginable!’
At this thought, the look in Yu Dahai’s eyes as he gazed at Yu Changsheng filled with even greater shock and adoration.
’It makes sense. I’ve never heard of any Qi Refining Beast Taming Cultivator with Brother Changsheng’s inscrutable methods. Perhaps only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could possess such abilities! Now it all adds up.’
As he muttered to himself, Yu Dahai’s spirits began to soar.
’Later, I must report this to the Patriarch. Brother Changsheng has reached Foundation Establishment! The Yu Family finally has a Foundation Establishment Great Power!’
At this thought, a fire ignited in Yu Dahai’s heart.
Facing Yu Dahai’s reverent gaze, Yu Changsheng nodded with a clear conscience. He didn’t answer Yu Dahai’s shocked question, but simply said, "That should take care of any problems, right?"
Yu Changsheng had never truly felt the aura of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. After all, with a Divine Sense as powerful as his, the pressure from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was beneath his notice.
He had just simulated the aura based on feeling; it might have even been more potent than that of a true Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
"No problem! There’s definitely no problem now!"
Yu Dahai declared decisively, patting his chest as a wave of confidence and assurance washed over him.
’In a small place like the Fish Market, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is practically a god. It’s more than enough! With a Foundation Establishment Cultivator presiding, no small fry would dare to cause trouble.’
With this final worry resolved, Yu Dahai’s heart surged with excitement. Brimming with newfound bravado, he enthusiastically went to carry out Yu Changsheng’s instructions.
With such a powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivator by his side, Yu Dahai felt completely motivated. After all, he had never even met a living Foundation Establishment expert in his entire life.
Two days flew by. Yu Changsheng decided to stay at the Odd Demon Pavilion. Aside from the daily feedings, he spent his free time modifying the Spirit Beasts and preparing for the auction.
Thanks to the Spiritual Power feedback from the Spirit Beasts, his Cultivation speed didn’t slow in the slightest; in fact, it even increased. Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
