Master of Strange Dao

"Don't worry, sir, I understand. Be discreet, don't go overboard, consider the long term."

Yu Ziqing looked at the list. Shadow demon eyeballs were few in number and expensive in price.

Moreover, pairs of intact shadow demon eyeballs were even scarcer.

Although demon materials seemed not to be monopolized by deceitful ghosts, that was just because of the vast quantity; the West Desolate Army still had some.

But pairs of intact shadow demon eyeballs, with deceitful ghosts around, those shadow demons couldn't even meet the West Desolate Army during conflicts.

This was the result of the deceitful ghost restraining itself by thirty percent at Yu Ziqing's request.

From the outset, he had been very thoughtful in business, keeping detailed records.

Such rare items were never sold at retail.

Only those large clients with significant purchasing volumes could buy a pair of shadow demon eyeballs or a single one, after procuring a large amount of other items.

Now, finding out who bought them was indeed easy.

But once those big clients took them back, trying to track to whom they were sold became much more difficult.

The advantage was that since they were large clients, they certainly kept records of the flow of such precious items.

Now, those people had been tricked by King Qi and suffered losses with the White Water Eggs.

Adding to the current situation, those people might need more manpower.

Naturally, they would need more White Water Eggs.

Even if they couldn't be high-level spies, as ordinary spies, White Water Eggs were much more efficient than ordinary people.

There was definitely a demand for these intact, paired shadow demon eyeballs.

When the Abyssal Army burst from the Abyssal Rift, there weren't many shadow demons.

Black Sky Devil erased the first three digits, and the remainder likely still exceeded the shadow demons.

Ultimately, there were more single eyeballs and fewer pairs.

Given the current situation, it was challenging for those people to dive into the abyss to hunt.

They might directly purchase the ready-made ones.

In any event, whether there's anything or not, it's worth trying a lead that could unravel something.

After reviewing the list, Yu Ziqing turned his gaze to the deceitful ghost.

"The other items..."

"Don't worry, sir, even the most ordinary mixed blood of various demon blood types, everything has records.

For more valuable materials, not only are there detailed records of each material, but also detailed records of the buyers.

If there's any need, the leads can be immediately found."

Yu Ziqing smacked his lips, really wanting to ask, with such skills, how did you die of hunger back then?

But then, with a sigh.

It was all due to that incident back then, leading Yu Ziqing, nothing special after landing, to starve to death, naturally.

Even the deceitful ghost was affected, ultimately starving to death.

Such a massive reduction in force was indeed beyond human defense.

Truly tragic.

Yu Ziqing no longer harbored the thought of probing the past; if anything, his resolve to uncover those people, to expose the mastermind, became more resolute.

Once the deceitful ghost left, Yu Ziqing continued his cultivation, also honing his fine control over his power.

After advancing, micro-control wasn't as good, instead of regressing; it still needed strengthening.

Meanwhile, to continue a new topic, add to the Hundred Sects Secret Techniques at Jinlan Mountain.

The Mud Truck Divine Skill was simple, straightforward, and effective, but the rebound force was a bit strong.

Such rebound force couldn't be resolved by adding a defense magic treasure.

That force was similar to the pressure added on when executing the Kui Step, acting directly on the body.

There were magic treasures to relieve this kind of rebound force, but the downside was that it weakened the power of the Mud Truck.

The best approach was to refer to the techniques in the Eight-step Sword Scripture, refining one's strength so that every inch of the body was integrated.

The pressure endured at that moment could be evenly distributed throughout the body; that was the first step.

Subsequently, it was best to guide that pressure to be borne by the strongest areas, such as bones, flesh, and skin.

More fragile areas like internal organs would bear less pressure.

Hence, the unloading techniques and abilities in body cultivation needed referencing.

Alternatively, it was to develop a new secret technique that could significantly enhance physical strength in a short time.

The simplest, in fact, was like the village chief, controlling power with extreme precision, even instantaneously explosive power being perfectly controlled.

If the village chief had mastered the Mud Truck Divine Skill, that rebound force wouldn't have been a problem at all.

The issue was, Yu Ziqing couldn't master the most robust state of hitting the bull from a distance.

It wasn't an effort issue, but a talent issue.

Since the village chief mastered the top state of hitting the bull from a distance, Yu Ziqing and Yang unanimously believed it was innate talent, inexplicable.

Yu Ziqing remained practical, creating topics for the village chief, to develop something he could use in the Jinlan Secret Method.

The supposedly perfect solution in theory, forget it.

What's impossible is impossible; if a full score can't be achieved, it can't, not forcing it.

With the topics ready and all theoretical references marked down.

Having almost finished studying the bamboo slip of the Eight-step Sword Scripture, absorbing what it could offer, further reading wouldn't yield more insights, so he also let Wu Shuangge take it back to Jinlan Mountain.

Yu Ziqing continued to focus on his own matters, while elsewhere, Egg Eight had already reached the central region of Dali, meeting Egg Ten.
