Chapter 399 Want to Buy at a High Price
Nangong Chen was bargaining with the stall owner for resources. When the weapon spirit scanned it, he didn't feel too surprised, but Gu Zheng's heart was trembling a bit. Because that resource turned out to be a dragon bone!
Born in China, he was born with the identity of the descendant of the dragon. For the dragon, a mythical beast that only exists in myths and legends, ancient disputes are inevitable. There is a kind of awe and an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"I didn't expect to be able to touch the dragon bones. I originally thought that I would have to at least enter the prehistoric era to come into contact with anything really related to dragons." Gu Zheng sighed in his heart.
"That's all you can do!" Qi Ling sighed.
"Hehe." Gu Zheng smiled, and then said: "It seems that I must get this dragon bone."
"Of course, let alone winning or losing, this dragon bone is also a high-grade ingredient and can be used for higher-level food cultivation in the future." Qi Ling said.
"Brother Nangong, it seems that we have to choose the same material. I have seen the other stalls and there is nothing comparable to what you have chosen." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"How is this possible?"
"Yes, after all, fellow Taoist Nangong discovered this thing first."
"Fellow Taoist Ancient, you are a bit unkind. A gentleman can't win people's love!"
Before Nangong Chen could speak, many people onlookers started shouting.
"First of all, there are no restrictions in the rules. Two people cannot like the same thing. Secondly, if you think about it carefully, there are only six stalls in total. The total number of resources is less than forty. From the forty resources, pick two things that determine the outcome. , if it were you, do you think you would choose anything else besides the best?" Gu Zheng paused, and then said: "Actually, fellow Taoist Nangong thought of this from the beginning, so that's why it's in the rules. There are no restrictions on this, right?”
"You are wrong, I didn't think of this!" Nangong Chen frowned.
"He lied!"
Nangong Chen's denial made Qi Ling's voice sound angry.
Gu Zheng originally thought that Nangong Chen should act fairly and honestly, but now it seems that he has thought too much, so much so that he felt distorted when he looked at Nangong Chen's handsome face.
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you are making such a joke, but it is not funny at all!" Gu Zheng said solemnly.
"I'm not kidding, I really didn't expect it." Nangong Chen lied without blinking.
"Okay, since you didn't expect it, then the rules don't stipulate this. I also like this item. Tell me what to do!"
Gu Zheng seemed calm, but he was already sneering in his heart. Anyway, all he wanted to do was stir up trouble. If Nangong Chen went too far, it would play into his hands.
"You two, don't make any money. I haven't decided to sell it to him anyway. If Master Gu likes this thing, he can also bid for it. Whoever pays the highest price between you two, I will sell it to you!"
The stall owner was an old man with white hair and beard, and a slightly sinister look in his eyes. At this time, he looked at Nangong Chen and Gu Zheng with a sinister smile. If you only looked at his appearance, this guy looked like a man from the devil's path.
"hehe."
Nangong Chen looked at the stall owner and smiled: "You are really big-hearted, but don't go too far!"
"You set the rules. I just follow the rules to earn some resources. As for how much I earn, I have my own discretion."
The old man's cultivation level is already at the late fifth level. Although Nangong Chen is a descendant of the Kunlun Sect's Supreme Elder, in the face of absolute temptation, this has become unimportant.
"Well, since the stall owner has said so, the ancient leader can also participate in the competition. However, now that things have developed to this point, the judgment of winning or losing will naturally become whoever gets this resource will be the winner. "What do you think?" Nangong Chen asked.
"Okay!" Gu Zheng shrugged.
"Wait a minute, you think I'm making a lot of money, but my resource must have its value. If you want to buy my resource, you can, but at least tell me what it is, so that I can sell it clearly. "The old stall owner said.
"I can tell you, but we have to wait until the winner is determined." Nangong Chen said.
"Haha, are you afraid that I will become more greedy after knowing what it is?" The old stall owner smiled.
"Master Gu, I want to know, are you deliberately looking for trouble and trying to snatch it from me, or are you really knowledgeable and know what this thing is?" Nangong Chen did not answer the old stall owner's question. Instead, he frowned and looked at Gu Zheng.
"Of course you know what it is. Do you have any doubts about it?" Gu Zheng also frowned.
Nangong Zong thought for a moment and said, "I do have doubts. Why don't we start another gambling game?"
"What kind of bet is it? Let's talk about it."
"If after the bet is over, you can't tell what it is, you need to pay me an additional thirty pieces of fifth-grade resources!" Nangong Chen's words fell, and there were screams from all around. The bet is getting bigger and bigger.
"Nangong, you have to think carefully, is it really worth playing like this?" Zu Qingbo reminded.
"Yes, Nangong, isn't the gamble a bit too big?" Song Bai also spoke.
"Since you want to bet, let's bet happily. I think Master Gu is just making a fool of himself. Master Gu, do you dare to bet?" Nangong Chen looked directly at Gu Zheng.
"Why don't you dare to bet? But if I tell you what it is, will you also pay me thirty pieces of fifth-grade resources?" Gu Zheng sneered.
"Of course, if you are wrong but still don't give up, Feng Ze, the famous appraisal master of Taishan Sect, is in our Kunlun Sect. You can ask him to speak for justice."
Gu Zheng had heard of Feng Ze before. He was one of the best appraisal masters in the cultivation world and was very upright.
"No problem, I'll do as you say." Gu Zheng nodded.
"Okay, everything is based on first come first served. Let's make a bid each and take turns, okay?" Nangong Chen asked.
"Okay, you go first!" Gu Zheng made a gesture of invitation.
"For this resource, I will add a special resource 'Ziyuyu' to the resources I just gave you. What do you think?" Nangong Chen said to the old stall owner.
"Originally there were four fifth-grade resources, and now there is another special resource. It seems that my bone is really a rare commodity!" The old stall owner smiled, and then said: "I am already very excited about what Fellow Daoist Nangong has offered, but I still want to know what resources Fellow Daoist Gu can offer?"
"A pure pill."
Gu Zheng's voice was not loud, but it made the originally noisy environment quiet for three seconds. After three seconds, the original silence turned into an excited clamor.
"Master Gu, you are not honest. Didn't you just say that there is no second pure pill?"
"Yes, Master Gu, how can you do this? I am in urgent need of a pure pill!"
"Master Gu, do you have a third pure pill? If you have, you must sell it to me!"
There are many people whose internal energy has not been purified. The appearance of Gu Zheng's second pure pill made many people want to go crazy.
"You know, I originally wanted to keep this second pure pill for myself. If it weren't for the bet, I wouldn't have been willing to give it up! If you were in my place, would you tell others that you still have one?" Gu Zheng looked at the crowd and said with infinite grievance.
"Master Gu, I want this pure pill, and this bone is yours!"
The old stall owner also spoke, and he was so excited that he stuttered. He looked at Gu Zheng as if he was looking at a savior. His internal strength had not been purified, and the temptation of a pure pill was too great for him.
"Okay."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and took the bone from the old stall owner.
"How?" Gu Zheng asked Nangong Chen, playing with the jade-like bone.
Nangong Chen gritted his teeth in hatred. Gu Zheng actually bought the bone so easily! But what can hatred do? Who let Gu Zheng have the pure pill that can make most practitioners excited!
"Do you know what this bone is?" Nangong Chen sneered.
"Of course I know, this is a dragon bone, a bone from a real dragon!"
When Gu Zheng finished speaking, the surroundings immediately became quiet, and everyone opened their eyes wide. Their reactions were no different from Gu Zheng's initial reaction to the dragon bone.
"This, this is actually a dragon bone?"
The old stall owner looked at the dragon bone in Gu Zheng's hand and wanted to touch it again.
Gu Zheng was also generous and handed the dragon bone back directly, letting the old stall owner touch it again and again.
"I never thought that something that has been passed down in the sect for thousands of years would turn out to be a dragon bone!"
With a hint of nostalgia, the old stall owner handed the dragon bone to Gu Zheng again.
"Don't listen to what fellow Taoist Gu said, this is not a dragon bone, it is the bone of the ancient beast Zhe!" Nangong Chen laughed.
Gu Zheng frowned. Whether Nangong Chen really knew the goods or was cheating because he didn't want to lose, it seemed that this matter would cause some trouble. After all, there was no consensus, and it was impossible to determine the winner.
"Nangong, is this really the bone of Zhe?" Zu Qingbo asked with a frown.
Without looking into Zu Qingbo's eyes, Nangong Chen affirmed: "Of course, I will never make a mistake!"
"In that case, let's find Master Feng Ze to test it!"
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, he heard someone in the crowd say: "Master Feng Ze is here!"
Gu Zheng's sight passed through the crowd and saw an old man with white hair and a youthful face, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, accompanied by a Kunlun Sect disciple, walking towards this side.
"Hmph, so shameless! The Shushan disciple who followed Feng Ze, before you made a bet with Nangong Chen, he was whispered in Nangong Chen's ear and then left the Dragon Battle Square." The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"According to what you said, Nangong Chen had a long-term plan to deal with me, and at that time he asked someone to invite Feng Ze." Gu Zheng sneered.
"It's not surprising at all. As a princeling of the Kunlun lineage, let's not talk about the past. Just today, Song Bai and Cui Ying both lost to you. They are in a relationship of prosperity and loss, so Nangong Chen can't afford to lose the bet with you." The spirit of the weapon said.
"I hope we are overthinking. Feng Ze's reputation is really good. He should not do anything stupid when he is old." Gu Zheng sighed.
"Humph, if he doesn't respect himself, then everything is his own fault." The spirit of the weapon said coldly.
"Everyone, long time no see!"
Feng Ze has a wide network of contacts, and he greets people all the way.
"Master Feng, long time no see, how are you!"
"Master Feng, it's really been a long time since we last saw the sunrise on the top of Mount Tai more than ten years ago."
"Master Feng, please help me identify a resource I don't know."
Almost all the people around him said hello to Feng Ze, because in addition to being a master of identification, Feng Ze was also a master of alchemy. His cultivation in alchemy was higher than that of Taoist Xianyun.
"It's so lively here. I just stepped into Longzhan Square and heard the sounds here. Then I heard this kid talk about some things here, so I came over here to have a look."
When Feng Ze spoke, the smile on his face was very kind, and he didn't look like a bad person.
"Master Feng, you came just in time. There is a resource here that I need you to identify." Nangong Chen said to Feng Ze, cupping his fists.
"No problem, let's talk later." Feng Ze smiled at Nangong Chen, and then looked at Gu Zheng: "Is this the newly promoted Gu head of the Emei sect? He is really a formidable young man. He took charge of Emei at a young age. Today in Long Zhan Square is also very generous, which is really eye-catching!”
"Master Feng is joking." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Actually, the main purpose of my coming here is to take a look at the pure elixir of the ancient leader. I have been immersed in the elixir path for most of my life, and I never knew that besides the inner energy essence elixir, there are other Pills can purify a practitioner's internal energy. I wonder if Master Gu can show me your pure pills?" Feng Ze said sincerely.
"I no longer have the Pure Pill. There are only two in total. One was taken by Taoist Fellow Luo Jin of the Tianluo Sect. The other one is now in the hands of this fellow Taoist. If Master Feng wants to see it, you need to tell him." Gu Zheng pointed at the old stall owner.
"Fellow Taoist, I wonder if you can let me see that pure pill?"
Looking at Feng Ze's eager eyes, the old stall owner gritted his teeth: "You can watch it, but you can only watch it if I hold it!"
"Fellow Taoist, it's not like this, is it? What is the old man's character? Most of the people present know that I won't swallow your elixir, so just don't worry." Feng Ze said with a bitter smile.
"I'm really sorry. I happen to be one of those few people! Besides, people's hearts are separated from each other. If you really swallowed it, wouldn't it be too late for me to regret it? If you want to watch it, just watch it as I say. , anyway, you alchemists mainly make judgments by looking at the color of the elixir and smelling the fragrance of the elixir, without holding it in your hands. If you don't want to see it, I'm ready to leave Longzhan Square and return to my residence to take it. Digested."
The old stall owner's alertness made Feng Ze dumbfounded: "Okay, just take it and let me see it!"
Feng Ze frowned and turned around to look at the pure elixir in the old man's hand, and smell the elixir's fragrance again and again.
"It has the smell of medicine stones, and there are also some common herbs in Shu Ruins, but these are just ordinary things. Do they really have the effect of purifying internal energy?"
"No, what is its main ingredient? Why don't I smell the main ingredient?"
Feng Ze murmured to himself and looked at Gu Zheng: "Master Gu, from whom did you get these two pure pills? Do you have the recipe for the pure pill? If you have the recipe for the pure pill, , I want to buy it at a high price!”
