Listening to Lucifer's words made everyone along with the village chief dumbfounded.
This is a secret village of cultivates which is more than a thousand year old still practicing the art of cultivation.
This place has an ancient heritage of strong ones of the past, a lot of knowledge like that of alchemy, cooking, blacksmithing and runes which had been lost in the past are still practiced in this village till this date which is really amazing.
The village is located here in secret not only in order to hide from the world but also because this place is a mana hotspot making it one of the few places where mana is present in better quality and larger quantity.
Over the years due to hunting monsters which were first abundant here are now on the verge of extinction and people here need this monster meat for their further cultivation.
"This-"
The village chief and many elders of the village are stuck in the same realm for the years now and this means if they get it now it would be very beneficial for them.
"I know you all have been facing a shortage of monster meat and looking at your old age i don't think you have much time left in the world, this meat is really very important to you"
"I get it young man, but if you have this meat can't you get stronger yourself why give it to us"
"I believe in fair trade old man, if i want i can just barge in your ancestral hall by force but instead i chose this way, and also yes this meat can help me and my subordinates very much but everyone knows that you need to learn to cook the monster meat first which no one else other than you guys know of in this world"
"How-"
"I know a lot of things, this meat is useless for me as i don't know how to cook it and the same goes for you the books inside are useless to you since no one is able to read them and deciphering the text has always been to result in the failure, so i guess we are having a fair trade"
Listening to the Lucifer's words village chief and everyone in the village who was paying attention to them all had a pensive look on their face, this is indeed a nice trade.
Having the monster meat to improve their cultivation in exchange for them having a look at the ancient text which no one in the world could read, this trade seems to be more beneficial for them.
"No Grandfather!"
A female scream sounded and a very beautiful girl wearing a white robe came walking from the middle of the crowd and stood near the village chief, she looked at Lucifer with a surprise eyes which later turned into despise ignoring his handsome face.
She looked at the village chief with gentle eyes and started speaking softly.
"No Grandfather we can't do this, these foreigners can't be allowed to step foot in our holy land"
"She says right, Brother"
Soon another voice came out of the crowd and the person who spoke surprised Lucifer this time as it was none other than the protagonist's teacher, Lin Fan.
'What is he doing here?'
The old man walked near the village chief with a smile on his face and stood in front of Lucifer and looked at him with despise.
"A foreigner like him no matter how rich or influential he is we can't let the hard work of your ancestor and the hope for this land get in the hands of him"
Though Lin Fan travels less and just focussed on the cultivation in this world with almost no mana able to ascend to the upper world back he still knows about Lucifer the richest man in the world when travelling on the news.
Listening to the Lin Fan's words the people regained their irrationality which Lucifer assumed and once again started to protest.
