Chapter 461 Ginseng Little Monster 8
A strange thing has been happening in Monster Village lately: demons, both large and small, have experienced a decline in their power. Initially, Zhang Xintong thought it was due to the Stone Marrow's departure, but Xiao 9 said otherwise. With the Stone Marrow gone, Monster Village no longer has the same rich spiritual energy, and the demons' power growth has slowed, but it hasn't degraded.
Zhang Xintong's soul was strong and she was not affected. Although Gu Yan had no memory, his soul was even stronger and he was not affected either. Except for the two of them, all the monsters in the monster village had their powers degenerated.
This place was not only the original owner's home, but also Zhang Xintong's home. These monsters were very kind to her, so Zhang Xintong couldn't ignore them. Blood tests were done on them, but no symptoms were found.
Zhang Xintong examined these monsters from head to toe, but couldn't find the reason for the degeneration of their power. She was very discouraged for a while, but finally a bald little monster caught Zhang Xintong's attention.
The bald little demon's power degraded very slowly and was almost unaffected. Sometimes there would be a few small insects lying on its head, but they would be quickly brushed off by it.
Zhang Xintong caught 6 small insects. These insects were very afraid of her and did not dare to approach her. She could only use her soul to lock them and prevent them from moving before putting them in a bottle.
After repeated experiments, it was discovered that these little bugs can absorb not only demonic power but also spiritual power. They usually hide in the hair of demons and human monks, which is why demonic power degenerates. Because these little bugs are thieves, Zhang Xintong named them stealing bugs.
Although shaving the head can curb the degeneration of demonic power, it is impossible to shave the heads of all male and female monsters. Zhang Xintong began to look for the nemesis of the stealing insects.
After several months of searching and experimenting, Zhang Xintong discovered that a mixture of mint, cassia seed and mugwort can kill thieving bugs. If you use this juice to wash your hair, the residual smell after one wash will prevent the thieving bugs from coming near for half a month.
Zhang Xintong prepared a batch of shampoo containing the juice of three herbs: mint, cassia seed, and mugwort, and gave it to the villagers of Monster Village. She also taught them how to grow the three herbs so that they could solve the problem of stealing insects on their own in the future.
Zhang Xintong planted these three herbs on a large scale in the space, intending to make more shampoo to sell.
The monks of the immortal cultivation sects also experienced a decline in their spiritual power. When Zhang Xintong went down the mountain to collect various herbs for experiments, she knew that their situation was probably the same as the decline in the power of monsters.
After curing the monster, Zhang Xintong and Gu Yan went down the mountain.
Zhang Xintong always took things into her space, and the more the better. She could use them, but she couldn't live without them. Every time she took things, she would take as much as she could. Her space was filled with all kinds of artifacts, immortal artifacts, elixirs, talismans, immortal stones, and spiritual stones. But after finally coming to the world of immortal cultivation, she would never be willing to leave without taking some away.
Zhang Xintong opened a shop at the foot of the mountain that specializes in selling shampoo. The store's function is naturally to prevent the decline of spiritual power. She only accepts precious medicinal herbs, rare talismans, spiritual stones, etc., and magical artifacts, immortal artifacts, and immortal stones that mortal cultivators cannot have. Anyway, she will sell it if she likes it, and won't sell it if she doesn't like it.
Apart from anything else, during the early preparations, Zhang Xintong mixed the shampoo until her hands were soft, and secretly took note that when she arrived in the modern world, she must buy several production lines to take up space, as manual work was tiring and laborious.
Zhang Xintong's shop has been doing good business since it opened, attracting the attention of many monks, but she drove them away.
One day, three powerful cultivators came towards her shop. With Zhang Xintong's current strength, she did not take the three cultivators seriously, but she still put Gu Yan into the space and lay on the rocking chair in the shop waiting.
There were three cultivators, one at the second level of the Spirit Transformation Stage, one at the third level of the Spirit Transformation Stage, and one at the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Stage. After the three of them landed, a young disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage hurried forward.
"My dear ancestors, this little shop sells shampoo that can prevent spiritual power from declining, but they won't sell it to our sect. How despicable!"
This young disciple in the foundation-building stage usually would be respectful whenever the name of Huashan Sect was mentioned, offering good things with both hands. However, he stumbled with Zhang Xintong. Not only did he not get anything, he was also beaten up. He was unwilling to accept this, so he wrote a letter back to the sect to complain, saying that they sold shampoo that could prevent the decline of spiritual power, but the owner refused to sell it to Huashan Sect.
The three ancestors of Huashan Sect naturally came for the shampoo, but supporting their disciples was also a side job. Moreover, they had already sensed that the person in the store was a monster, not a human.
"Go call the owner out so we can see who this person is."
The young disciple in the foundation-building stage, backed by three old ancestors, walked into the store with arrogance. Seeing Zhang Xintong lying on the rocking chair, he sneered.
"Hey, our Huashan Sect's ancestor is here, go out and greet him."
Zhang Xintong glanced at the young disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage
"You don't deserve it, and neither do they. Get out of here!"
The young disciple in the foundation-building stage was so angry that he jumped up and down
"I'm telling you, I don't want your shampoo this time. I want your shop."
Zhang Xintong didn't want to waste time talking to him, so she raised her hand and slapped him away. The young disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage vomited blood and fell in front of the store.
“Ancestor, she refused to come out and said you were unworthy.”
The three elders wanted shampoo, but their spiritual powers were declining. They were afraid of ruining the shampoo in the store, or harming the demon inside. After all, they still wanted to know the formula. But this demon was so disrespectful, it had to be dealt with.
Three ancestors walked into the store. The second-level ancestor of the Spiritualization Stage saw Zhang Xintong as a monster and laughed at her:
"You dare to say we are unworthy?"
"So what if it's just me!"
The ancestor of the second level of the Spirit Transformation Stage was about to get angry when he was stopped by the ancestor of the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Stage. When the ancestor of the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Stage saw that it was Zhang Xintong lying on the rocking chair, he dared not act rashly. He had just escaped death from the other party a few months ago, so he didn't dare to provoke her at all.
"Great Power, we are not worthy, please don't be angry. We just want to buy some shampoo. Can you sell us some?"
The second-level and third-level ancestors of the Spirit Transformation Stage looked at the fifth-level ancestor of the Spirit Transformation Stage in disbelief. Why was he so respectful to this monster?
Zhang Xintong brushed off the non-existent dust on her body
"Is the monk at the door from your sect?"
The fifth-level ancestor of the Spiritual Transformation Stage bowed respectfully
"Powerful, yes, but is there anything he did wrong?"
"Oh! He tried to steal my shampoo, but I beat him up. Since he belongs to your sect, I won't sell my shampoo to you Huashan Sect anymore."
The face of the fifth-level Spirit Transformation Stage ancestor froze, and he quickly walked to the door, pointing at the young disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"You have been expelled from the sect. You are no longer a disciple of the Huashan Sect. Get out!"
The young disciple in the Foundation Establishment stage was completely frightened. He usually relied on his status as a Huashan Sect disciple to bully others and gain many benefits. If he was expelled from the sect, he would lose everything. Moreover, he had offended many cultivators, and those cultivators would come to seek revenge on him. He quickly knelt and begged for mercy.
"Grandmaster, please don't! I will never dare to do that again. Please don't expel me from the sect."
