Chapter 355: Chapter 375: Monster Trafficking Shop (Extra for book friend ‘Silent Lamb’)
The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Chu Yuan, with Ao Yu and Su Xi, watched the passersby one after another.
His gaze was also tightly fixed on those passersby.
Before him, there existed a template invisible to others.
System investigation!
Chu Yuan was using the System to investigate, watching these passersby.
[Investigation Subject: Li Tiedan]
[Race: Human]
[Cultivation: Mortal]
[Physique: None]
[Assessment: This person is the most ordinary of mortals; taking this person as a disciple carries an extremely low risk of success. However, the Human Race is naturally endowed with the Innate Taoist Body, the most suitable physique for cultivation, thus still posing a certain risk. Please consider carefully, Host.]

Chu Yuan looked at the templates of each passerby.
After a cursory look, he shook his head time and time again.
The templates were almost all the same.
They were all the most common templates of ordinary people.
Chu Yuan let out a deep sigh.
He held no interest whatsoever.
He had figured it out.
These passersby were essentially identical.
Every person had the potential to succeed.
He absolutely couldn’t take on such disciples.
“Respected Master, what are you sighing about?”@@novelbin@@
Standing by his side, Su Xi, who noticed Chu Yuan’s sigh, asked.
“It’s nothing, let’s go, let’s walk further into the city.”
Chu Yuan shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward.
Seeing this scene.
Su Xi and Ao Yu exchanged glances, not daring to say much, and silently followed behind Chu Yuan.
The three walked on the bustling city street, drawing the sideways glances of many mortals.
They were indeed extraordinary.
Even though Chu Yuan had turned off the Invincible State and there was no golden light surrounding him, that transcendent aura still lingered.
Not to mention Su Xi and Ao Yu.
Being powerful beings, their aura could not possibly be ordinary.
As the trio made their way,
they attracted quite a few stares.
Especially Chu Yuan, with his ethereal and almost fairy-like aura coupled with his appearance, had an overwhelming effect on these mortals.
Quite a few people were swallowing hard at the sight of Chu Yuan.
Even Chu Yuan himself started to feel a tingling in his scalp.
He was almost ready to reactivate his Invincible State and flee.
He always felt those surrounding mortals wanted to devour him.
If it were just some females, that might be fine.
But what about those male mortals?
Chu Yuan’s investigation with the System revealed nothing out of the ordinary, but he was sufficiently frightened by these ordinary people.
Just as Chu Yuan was about to lose his patience,
suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd.
“Everyone, come and see! The Monster Trafficking Shop has got a new batch of goods. Everyone can have a look to see if there’s anything you’d like to buy and take home for work!”
The moment this voice sounded,
hearing these words.
“`
The crowd erupted into a frenzy, discussing animatedly among themselves.
“Did the Monster Trafficking Shop capture more monsters?”
“Look, fresh stock of monsters—let’s take a look. Even if we don’t buy anything, it’s fun just to join the bustle!”
“Last time Old Zhang’s family bought a Cow Monster, which was useful for work. I should go check it out and maybe buy one as well…”
“Let’s go, let’s go together.”
The bustling street suddenly quieted down.
Chu Yuan was extremely puzzled by this, not understanding at all what was happening.
“Ao Yu, go and ask what’s going on,”
Chu Yuan gestured and ordered.
“Ok, Sect Master, please wait a moment,”
Ao Yu replied and hurriedly left.
Chu Yuan stood there with Su Xi, waiting quietly.
After a short while,
Ao Yu came back with an answer.
It turned out that the common citizens had all gone to a place called ‘Monster Trafficking Shop.’
As the name implies, this was a place where monsters were sold.
However, the creatures for sale were all low-level monsters, or those that hadn’t even completed their transformation.
It was said that such shops came into being and even spread to the mortal world because of the Holy Ground of the Eastern State.
The Holy Ground of the Eastern State was too domineering, and its strength had driven the development of all the sects in the East State.
This also resulted in the endless oppression of the Demon Race within the East State, with many Great Demons fleeing.
The weaker monsters and those unable to complete their transformation suffered the consequences—they were captured by some low-level cultivators and sold to help mortals with labor.
Having learned this,
Chu Yuan marveled in amazement.
“Let’s go and have a look as well,”
Chu Yuan whispered.
Then, he glanced at the direction the crowd was moving and followed them.
But soon after they started walking,
they were unable to proceed further.
Because in front of them there was a sea of people, making it impossible to move forward anymore.
Squads of mortal soldiers had emerged, wielding weapons, ready to maintain order.
Seeing this,
Chu Yuan lost the desire to ‘share in the people’s joy.’
“Let’s go up to the sky,”
Chu Yuan immediately activated his Invincible State, and points of light appeared around him. He swiftly flew into the sky, and because his speed was so fast, no mortal noticed his movements.
Ao Yu and Su Xi also quickly followed Chu Yuan’s lead.
The three of them flew into the sky simultaneously.
Looking down from above, they immediately saw the so-called Monster Trafficking Shop.
This Monster Trafficking Shop was by no means a real shop; it was more like a ‘street stall.’
On a square, there were dozens of iron cages with various small monsters trapped inside.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd was watching those iron cages filled with small monsters.
“These are all small monsters,”
Chu Yuan stroked his chin and said.
He didn’t even need to use his system to see that.
All inside the iron cages were small monsters.
Because those imprisoned could not even fully transform.
Some had the body of a human but the head of a cow.
Some had a human head and their body seemed alright, but one hand was as short as a toothpick, while the other was grotesquely long.
“Sect Master, these monsters… calling them monsters is a disservice to real monsters; we really don’t need to bother with this,”
Ao Yu’s lips twitched slightly as he spoke.
“Mmm…”
Chu Yuan indeed had no desire to look any further.
He was about to turn around and leave.
But then he thought.
With so many people here, at least a few thousand, if he used the system to scan the crowd, he might find a disciple that the system guaranteed to be exceptional.
If there really was one, that would be a massive win for him.
If not, then no harm done—it would just be a little time wasted.
Thinking this, Chu Yuan was no longer in a hurry to leave.
He carefully started to scan with his system, observing the sea of people below…
