บท 45: Chapter 43 Selling

A while later, Lu Ye sat in a private compartment, surrounded by screens that blocked prying eyes. The female demon cultivator had disappeared without a trace, but just before she left, she asked Lu Ye to wait here, assuring him that a manager would soon come to trade with him. If there were any other instructions, he could also ring the nearby bell, and someone would come to attend to him.

There was a pot of brewed tea on the table, so Lu Ye poured himself a cup. After taking a sip, he immediately showed a look of surprise, because this tea seemed to be no ordinary brew — it contained some spirit force, though not much, it was definitely there.

This discovery made Lu Ye appreciate even more the vast wealth of Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union; this was just tea for entertaining guests, and heaven knows how much it would take to consume so much every day. Without a solid foundation, they could not afford such extravagance.
