Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 254: Chapter 240: Night Rain Madness (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

“This Song Fuli seems a bit off… Is it just my imagination?” Ning Zhuo thought darkly, maintaining a steady expression.

Song Fuli glanced at his movements from the corner of his eye, unnoticed by Ning Zhuo. Yet, Ning Zhuo’s mind still rippled with subtle waves, sensing a mysterious oddity emanating from Song Fuli.

Song Fuli continued, addressing the two of them: “Our Cloud Merchant travels the world. Besides selling specialties from Flying Cloud Country, we also purchase a large number of local specialties wherever we go.”

“Regarding this, I would like to cooperate with the two of you.”

Song Fuli first looked at Ning Zhuo: “Young Master Ning, the mechanical Explosive Flame Monkeys you have personally researched and refined are of great interest to us.”

“These mechanical monkeys are inexpensive, their movements gentle and precise, capable of undertaking dangerous tasks like picking fire persimmons.”

“So, sending them into other hazardous environments to fetch rare flowers and herbs that ordinary people cannot reach is also feasible.”

“I wonder if we have the opportunity to purchase some Explosive Flame Monkeys from you?”

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhuo immediately revealed a hint of joy.

He did not hesitate and directly nodded in agreement: “For me, this is undoubtedly a good thing! I am very pleased to be able to make this deal with Senior Song.”

The two of them quickly decided on the scale and price of the transaction with just a few words.

After discussing the business, Song Fuli turned to Zhu Xuanji and said: “Lord Zhu, I am interested in purchasing the Night Rain Demon Soldier.”

He naturally referred to the one held by Zheng Danlian.

“I am aware that you have very close relationships with the Zhou Family, the Zheng Family, and the Ning Family.”

“Therefore, I would like to ask you to introduce me, as I wish to speak directly with the Golden Core Cultivator Zheng Danlian of the Zheng Family.”

Zhu Xuanji thought for a moment and nodded slightly: “Okay.”

Song Fuli smiled: “Here is a small token of my appreciation, which can serve as the introduction fee.”

As Song Fuli spoke, he took out a storage bag and handed it to Zhu Xuanji.

However, Zhu Xuanji did not accept it. He shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully: “If you successfully conduct business with the Zheng Family, I will accept this fee. If not, then let it be.”

After chatting for a while, Song Fuli and Zhu Xuanji left together, leaving Ning Zhuo to continue shopping in Cloud City.

The Zheng Family.

The cultivation secret room.

Zheng Danlian was gently wiping his mechanical sickle with a handkerchief.

In the dimly lit secret room, the sickle appeared as a piece of black iron, completely immersed in darkness, still and unyielding. It was hard to associate it with the fearsome power it had exhibited in the previous Golden Core battle.

Suddenly, the door of the secret room was knocked.

Zheng Shuanggou’s voice promptly followed: “Brother, Zhu Xuanji is here with the leader of Cloud Merchant, Song Fuli, to visit you.”

Zheng Danlian looked towards the door, his eyes bloodshot, a hint of irritability and resentment rising in his heart.

“Wait a moment, I will come out.” Zheng Danlian’s voice was somewhat hoarse as he suppressed his displeasure.

He stood up, carefully put away the mechanical sickle, and pushed the door open.

Soon after, he arrived at the reception hall.

Here, he met with Song Fuli and Zhu Xuanji.

Song Fuli straightforwardly stated his purpose: he intended to purchase the mechanical sickle from Zheng Danlian.

Zheng Danlian’s brows immediately furrowed. His face showed a trace of anger: “What? You want to purchase my Night Rain Demon Soldier!”

Zheng Danlian glared at Song Fuli, then turned to Zhu Xuanji.

Clearly displeased, he said: “Lord Zhu, you brought Mr. Song here to buy my mechanical sickle; what do you mean by this?”

“Do you want me to get rid of this trouble quickly to deal with the upcoming difficulties from Taiqing Palace?”

“You must know that the current predicament of the Zheng Family is entirely due to following your orders and plans.”

Zhu Xuanji showed a trace of guilt and hurriedly said a few words to placate him.

Song Fuli also echoed a few words.

However, Zheng Danlian interrupted him directly: “Not for sale! This is my mechanical sickle; no matter how high a price you offer, I won’t sell it!”

Zheng Danlian resolutely refused, his mood growing increasingly restless, and his tone quite harsh.
