Chapter 225 Freedom of Trade, Discovery of the Chosen One
Seeing that no one answered, Liu Liangsheng's expression turned gloomy, and the atmosphere at the entire trade fair became extremely oppressive.
After a long while, Liu Liangsheng suddenly burst into hearty laughter: "Hahaha, everyone, there's no need to be nervous. I just want to make friends with Master Gu so that I can buy more elixirs for my city."
"I see."
"The city lord is righteous."
A few more people offered a compliment, and then said no more.
No one present was a fool; Liu Liangsheng's words were only meant for ghosts.
No, if Gu Qing were present, given the arrogance and prejudice of alchemists, they might believe it.
"it is good!"
"This transaction is now concluded. Fellow Daoists, please feel free to speak your minds."
Liu Liangsheng gestured for him to enter, then fell silent and picked up his teacup to drink.
"Does anyone have any news about the Fairy Ying Flower?"
Goodness, this guy's opening remarks silenced the entire room once again.
The Immortal Hard Flower is a divine object belonging to the "Half-Dao Fruit" category. It contains the laws of the Great Dao and can help people break through to the Profound God Realm. Its uses are endless.
"Alright, please welcome the next fellow Daoist."
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, the aged voice gave up in resignation.
"I want to make a deal..."
Some people couldn't wait to speak up, wanting to buy or exchange information.
A day flew by, and it was time to trade the treasures.
"Do any of you have a flying boat capable of traversing the turbulent currents of time?"
It was Zhi Meng who spoke.
She placed her hand on the array platform, and no one knew that it was she who spoke.
If the transaction is successful, it will be transmitted via an array, so that no one present will notice.
That's the good thing about trade fairs; the confidentiality measures are top-notch.
After all, the items being traded are priceless treasures; how can we not keep them secret?
After a moment of silence, Zhi Meng continued, "I can trade one high-grade Immortal Essence Pill, one high-grade Tribulation-Crossing Pill, and 10 billion Immortal Crystals."
The flying boat that travels through time is the treasure she desires most.
Everything is ready, except for a flying boat.
Therefore, having two more elixirs wouldn't be a problem.
The entire room was in an uproar; after all, this was no small sum, and it was estimated that no one, except Liu Liang Sheng, could resist it.
Moreover, this is just the starting price; you might be able to add some more immortal crystals or one or two immortal pills on top of that.
"I don't need any elixir."
Suddenly, an old voice rang out in the arena.
"Then what do you need?"
Zhi Meng was overjoyed. She had only tried it out and didn't have high hopes, since the time-traveling ship was something that could only be encountered by chance.
But unexpectedly, someone actually owns it.
However, upon hearing that this person did not want the elixir, Zhi Meng's heart sank.
Having just arrived in the immortal realm, she had nothing of note to offer except for elixirs.
As for the Primordial Qi, it is a heaven-defying treasure; to trade it is tantamount to courting death.
"I need 300 billion immortal crystals, plus information about the Immortal Ying Flower. If you don't have that, information about a divine object of equal value to the Immortal Ying Flower will also be acceptable."
"Hi~"
Everyone gasped.
Damn it! I thought adding a little more to the original price was already outrageous, especially since there were already two top-grade immortal pills as a bonus.
Because the time-traveling flying boat is only worth this price, and even if it were taken to the outside world, it would be worth at most a few million immortal crystals.
Its high value is entirely due to the special array inscribed on the Time Jade Wall.
But here, it can sell for 10 billion.
Moreover, there are often prices available but no market for them.
Because the Time Jade Wall is needed to craft the flying boat that can travel through the turbulent currents of time.
Time Jade Wall is a type of jade that has been eroded by the power of time. It only appears in time storms and is extremely rare.
Its only benefit is that it is immune to the erosion of time; otherwise, it is useless.
It's worthless outside; nobody would even pick it up if it were lying on the ground.
"It seems you have no interest in the transaction."
Zhi Meng's voice was icy.
"Trading is free. If you feel it's not suitable, you can give up."
His aged tone was extremely calm; just by listening to his voice, one could tell that this person was as steady as an old dog, with an air of complete composure.
Zhi Meng's face turned pale.
They had to sell all the elixirs that Gu Qing could sell to raise 50 billion.
This person immediately mentioned 300 billion and also wanted information about something like the Fairy Flower.
You should know that divine objects like the Fairy Ying Flower are of immeasurable value; if you were to exchange them for Fairy Crystals, you wouldn't even dream of it without a hundred billion Fairy Crystals.
This guy is something else. He wants to exchange a mere flying boat for 300 billion immortal crystals and information. His appetite is even more terrifying than that of a glutton.
The expressions on the faces of everyone present were also grim.
This person seems like a complete madman.
Not only has the price increased thirtyfold, but if there's no news about the Fairy Ying Flower, should we continue to add Fairy Crystals?
Gu Qing used his Dao Eye to scan the entire scene and quickly locked onto a young man.
He possessed a set of concealing magical artifacts, hidden beneath a mask, revealing a handsome face.
"I will add another two billion immortal crystals and one immortal pill to the original amount."
Zhi Meng took a deep breath and said, suppressing her anger.
"I'm sorry, but it requires 300 billion immortal crystals. Every single piece of information is essential; anything less will be out of the question."
The delicate face hidden beneath the mask suddenly became breathless and greedy upon hearing Zhi Meng's offer.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke calmly, as if he had Zhi Meng completely under his control.
"Two hundred billion immortal crystals, plus two immortal pills, that's all I have. If you don't agree, then forget it."
This was the first time Zhi Meng had ever met such a shameless person.
That's right, this isn't just greed anymore, it's downright despicable.
If she didn't desperately need such a flying boat to leave Heguangxian City, she would never have made the deal.
"Feel sorry."
Upon hearing that Zhi Meng had added so much at once, the boy was overjoyed, his eyes practically overflowing with greed.
"I'll offer two billion immortal crystals."
Gu Qing withdrew her gaze and smiled as well.
As he had predicted, this insatiably greedy man was no ordinary person, but rather a chosen one.
Only those destined for greatness can do things that are different from ordinary people.
After all, a normal person wouldn't dare to quote a price dozens of times higher than the item's value.
Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is almost exclusively the domain of those destined for greatness.
However, by robbing him, Ye Lin had really narrowed his options.
"Two billion? You have news about the Fairy Flower?"
Ye Lin asked excitedly.
Everyone present could no longer sit still and pricked up their ears to listen.
"No."
"No?"
"Yes, no, I'm only offering two billion immortal crystals, not a single one more, not a single one less."
"You fool me?"
Ye Lin's face instantly darkened.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
Gu Qing's blatant destruction aroused his murderous intent.
Everyone looked disappointed. They had thought Gu Qing would use the information to make an exchange, but it turned out that Gu Qing was just making trouble.
However... everyone was overjoyed.
Ye Lin was simply too greedy, which infuriated them.
"Trading is free. If you feel it's not suitable, you can give up."
Gu Qing returned the same words.
"you……"
Hearing this, Ye Lin's eyes turned sinister. That was worth hundreds of billions of immortal crystals. If Gu Qing destroyed it, his heart would bleed just thinking about it.
Ye Lin's eyes blazed with fury as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "Where is the manager of Tianbao Trading Company? Someone is causing trouble; I demand that you kick him out."
"I'm sorry, transactions are free. If you feel it's not suitable, you can give up."
Li Yuzheng paused for a moment, then added, "Of course, if you don't want to make a deal, you can leave at any time."
"..."
Ye Lin's face cracked open.
