The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1286: Red Fragrance Alley

Red Fragrance Alley!

Another secret market in the Mountain City besides the Yue Lai Inn, and compared to the secret market underground the Yue Lai Inn where anyone can set up a stall as long as they pay, in the secret market of Red Fragrance Alley, the only sellers are Red Fragrance Alley itself, and those who enter are all guests of Red Fragrance Alley.

Of course, selling isnt disallowed.

But the only buyer is Red Fragrance Alley.

And doing so hasnt caused Red Fragrance Alley to lose customers.

On the contrary, Red Fragrance Alleys business is better than Yue Lai Inns.

Not only is the quality of the goods sold guaranteed, but the prices are also transparently set, with no sudden price hikes.

Thus, many people from the martial world, when they come to Mountain City and choose a secret market, their first choice is Red Fragrance Alley. Only when they cant reach an agreement there do they opt for Yue Lai Inn as a second choice.

Naturally, the transparent prices are still slightly higher than market price.

However, most people from the martial world dont mind.

Recalling the information about Red Fragrance Alley obtained from Li Deshang, Jason didnt lift his hand to receive the so-called modest gift from the opponent.

Although the scent of the Secret Medicine itself was sealed using special techniques, Jason already caught faint hints of its sweet aroma from this close distance.

His sense of smell assured him that the palm-sized box contained the Secret Medicine.

Moreover, its level was quite high.

Exceeded the Tiger Blood Strong Yuan Powder, almost reaching Ginseng Toad Pill.

One Ginseng Toad Pill is priced around 2500-3500 Silver Coin in the market.

This price is nearly the monthly income of his current martial arts academy.

Note, this is after the academy gained fame and recognition following outstanding results in tournaments.

Previously?

Not enough for a quarter.

More importantly, Secret Medicines like Ginseng Toad Pill are generally priceless in the market.

Their prices far exceed market price.

Unless under special circumstances, such Secret Medicines are not sold.

Everyone keeps them for personal use.

Even if they cant use it themselves, its reserved for family and offspring.

Yet, Red Fragrance Alley brought similar-level Secret Medicine upon their visit.

Was it a simple visit?

Jason didnt believe so.

Theres no free lunch.

Jason learned this back in his hometown, and was taught a harsh lesson in Nightless City.

Even if the current Red Fragrance Alley owner seemed quite friendly.

Remember, the old lady who invited him for bread in Nightless City was even friendlier, with a kind face that put people at ease.

And the result?

The bread was drugged.

Eating it would cause unconsciousness.

Then?

People would be slit, drained of blood, and made into pies for sale.

Fortunately, he survived, saved by the Old Man who arrived just in time.

But Jason couldnt guarantee hed always be this lucky.

Thus, Jason clasped his hands again.

"No merit, no reward.

Jason said.

"Master Mu is too kind, we are both on Martial Arts Street, just some small gifts.

The owner of Red Fragrance Alley laughed.

It seemed truly as so, just some small gifts.

Jason didnt point it out, only looked at the owner quietly.

After full three seconds, the old owner seemed to understand Jasons intent, put away the palm-sized box, without any anger on his face, still smiling broadly.

"Master Mu truly is noble and virtuous, I admire.

"May I have a cup of tea? ƒгeewёbnovel.com

The old owner asked.

"Certainly.

Jason replied laconically.

In his heart, Jason already guessed what the opponent wanted.

Recruitment!

The purpose of the visit was to recruit him.

The so-called modest gift was to test the waters.

Being rejected, yet asking for tea, showed the opponents determination to succeed.

Seems Ive underestimated the influence a Bone Tempering martial artist has in Mountain City.

No!

I also revealed that I have Innate Divine Strength!

Perhaps the owner of Red Fragrance Alley is speculating whether I can battle a Skin Training martial artist.

After the martial arts street tournament finished, Jason unintentionally revealed he had completed Bone Tempering.

This was his original plan, to show strength gradually.

Not abruptly.

Still, he somewhat underestimated the influence of Bone Tempering completion combined with Innate Divine Strength.

However, this didnt hinder him from turning to lead the owner of Red Fragrance Alley to the front hall of the courtyard.

The eyes of those in the front yard training field involuntarily fell on the owner of Red Fragrance Alley.

Those who come to Martial Arts Street to learn, aside from a few exceptions, mostly have affluent family backgrounds, otherwise they wouldnt afford a monthly tuition of ten Silver Coins, and naturally they arent strangers to the owner of Red Fragrance Alley.

Likewise, they know what business Red Fragrance Alley is involved in privately.

Whats the owner of Red Fragrance Alley doing with the Master?

Could Red Fragrance Alley want to collaborate with the Master?

The hearts of everyone spawned such speculations.

Only Jia Youcai was different.

In Jia Youcais eyes lay worry.

When the Transmigration Cult attacked the city, Red Fragrance Alley shut down.

Waited until all settled and the situation became clear, Red Fragrance Alley reopened.

Perhaps its just that Red Fragrance Alley is well-informed.

But such being well-informed still made Jia Youcai uneasy.

Because…

Li Deshang didnt have a hint of information.
