Chapter 821
Gu Zheng smiled at Qi Ling, turned around and left.
As soon as Gu Zheng left, the stall owner immediately said: "Fellow Taoist, do you want to give up this rare fairy ingredient?"
"Yes! They have already sold this fairy ingredient to the point of seventy-six blue fairy coins. I don't have that many fairy coins, so I have to give up." Gu Zheng said.
"You know what's going on!"
The white-haired immortal chef who bid seventy-six blue immortal coins sneered.
"I didn't want to talk to you, but you always have a very unpleasant expression on your face. Do you really think that this fairy ingredient is yours?" Gu Zheng looked at the white-haired fairy chef.
"Yes, I think it is what I have in my pocket. At least now I bid seventy-six Blue Fairy Coins and no one can surpass it!"
"Eighty blue fairy coins!"
Just to contradict the white-haired fairy chef, the black-haired fairy chef immediately made a quotation and added four blue fairy coins at once.
"Okay you!"
The white-haired immortal chef looked at the black-haired immortal chef and gritted his teeth, then quoted: "Eighty-two blue immortal coins!"
At this point, an immortal ingredient, the Root of Earth Mother, was sold to eighty-two Blue Immortal Coins by two immortal chefs! Even for ordinary immortal chefs, the Root of the Earth Mother can be used in the cooking of food cultivators, but as long as no one can learn from it, then this is a bloody business! After all, regardless of the traces of Tao, the medicinal effect that an immortal resource can bring to a food cultivator will not be much more than that of a relatively rare high-grade ingredient.
"Eighty-two Blue Immortal coins seem to be a lot!" Gu Zheng smiled scornfully.
"It's indeed quite a lot. How about you pay for more?" the white-haired immortal chef said coldly.
Gu Zheng stopped arguing with the white-haired immortal chef. He looked at the stall owner and said: "Since the stall owner can barter, then I will exchange things with the stall owner! However, this thing I have is just a one-to-one exchange for the Earth Mother. Gen, I won’t add even one more immortal coin!”
Gu Zheng's words made the stall owner jump, and he had a bad feeling.
"What exactly is it? Fellow Taoist, you'd better take it out and let me see it first!" the stall owner said.
A diamond-shaped multi-faceted crystal appeared in Gu Zheng's hand. It was highly transparent and exuded a soft sky-blue light.
"I thought I was taking out some kind of treasure, but it turned out to be the Xuantian Stone! A Xuantian Stone with extremely high-quality resources, do you want to exchange it for the Root of the Earth Mother, which is worth eighty-two Blue Immortal Coins? You What a foolish dream!" The white-haired immortal chef laughed.
"The Xuantian Stone is indeed a top-quality resource, but do you have it?"
Gu Zheng's words made the white-haired immortal chef seem to be choked, and his laughter stopped abruptly.
The Xuantian Stone is indeed only a top-quality resource, but it is very rare. The White-haired Immortal Chef really does not have such a thing.
"Wishful thinking..."
The white-haired immortal chef wanted to say something else, but he suddenly noticed the stall owner's expression and became a little hesitant.
"Stall owner, you're not really going to exchange the Root of the Earth Mother for a Xuantian Stone, are you?" the white-haired immortal chef said with wide eyes.
"Which one of you two has the Xuantian Stone?"
The stall owner glanced at the white-haired Immortal Chef and the black-haired Immortal Chef, and both of them shook their heads.
Gritting his teeth, the stall owner looked at Gu Zheng, as if he wanted to do what he said, which made the white-haired immortal chef very unwilling.
"Although the Xuantian Stone is rare, there are so many resource pavilions in the heaven. Can't you find it? I really can't go to the News Pavilion to post purchase information! A piece of Earth Mother's Root is exchanged for a Xuantian Stone. This deal What a big loss!" said the white-haired immortal chef.
"Do you think I didn't visit the Resource Pavilion in Heaven? But there is no Xuantian Stone for sale. What can I do? If I am not in urgent need of the Xuantian Stone, do you think I don't know the value of the Earth Mother's Root?" The stall owner said angrily.
At this point, the stall owner already felt like he had ruined a good hand of cards! The other party clearly said that it was a one-on-one exchange, and this was clearly a fight, just to embarrass the white-haired fairy chef! If he hadn't deliberately recruited the white-haired immortal chef and the black-haired immortal chef to make more money, this might have been a different situation!
"It seems that eighty-two Blue Immortal coins are still a bit too little!" Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled.
"Crack!"
The white-haired immortal chef gritted his teeth. He ignored the ancient argument, but looked at the stall owner and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to find someone to ask now. Maybe my fellow Taoists have the Xuantian Stone!"
"Stall owner, don't come back before we miss this opportunity! If you agree to let him ask, then I will leave now. Anyway, the Xuantian Stone is still useful to me!" Gu Zheng said coldly.
"Fellow Taoist, I was wrong before! Can't you really add some immortal coins? Although I am in urgent need of the Xuantian Stone, but you exchange it one for one, it really makes me lose blood! I still have to pay for it today! It’s not open yet, and the stall fees at Dongtian Market are very expensive. These fellow Taoists all know this, so I hope you will stop talking about it!”
Gu Zheng is not the kind of person with a cruel heart. He does this just to get some relief. Now that the stall owners have apologized and the white-haired immortal chef is also angry with him, he doesn't care about a few more immortal coins.
"The stall owner said so. If I don't add any, it would be a bit unkind, so I'll add five Blue Fairy Coins!"
"Okay, Taoist friend Renyi!"
Gu Zheng's words made the stall owner's eyes light up. Whether he was sincere or perfunctory, he seemed very happy anyway, and no one would dislike having so many fairy coins.
"Why!"
The black-haired immortal chef saw that there was absolutely no chance, and he sighed and left.
"Boy, which sect of Immortal Chef are you from?" The white-haired Immortal Chef gritted his teeth and looked at Gu Zheng.
"Who told you that only people from the Immortal Chef sect would be interested in immortal ingredients?"
Having already obtained the Root of the Earth Mother, Gu Zheng was too lazy to say anything more to the white-haired immortal chef, so he left without saying a word.
"This guy looks very unconvinced. He is following you. I guess when you take action again, he will most likely cause trouble!" Qi Ling said bitterly.
"So he's having sex with me?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"It seems so!" Qi Ling said.
"He is really free, just do whatever you want!"
Gu Zheng didn't care and still walked towards the next target stall.
There were a dozen or so high-end ingredients, and several immortal cultivators were negotiating the prices around them. Originally, Gu Zheng wasn't very interested in these dozen or so high-end ingredients, but since the white-haired immortal chef was still following him, he made an offer.
"Thirteen high-end ingredients packed together, twenty-one Blue Immortal coins!" Gu Zheng said to the stall owner.
"Okay, if no one offers more, these thirteen high-end ingredients will be yours." The stall owner smiled.
"Twenty-three Blue Immortal coins, thirteen high-grade ingredients!"
As expected, the white-haired immortal chef was at loggerheads with Gu. As soon as he arrived at the stall, he immediately quoted the price.
Gu Zheng turned around and looked at the white-haired immortal chef in a funny way, while the white-haired immortal chef said with a ferocious smile: "Boy, let me see what resources you can buy today!"
"Zhaixinglou is really wealthy!"
Gu Zheng smiled and spoke to the stall owner again: "Thirteen high-grade ingredients, thirty Blue Immortal coins!"
As soon as Gu Zheng said this, the surrounding people suddenly booed. Not to mention thirty Blue Immortal coins, even twenty-three were too much.
"Thirty-two Blue Immortal coins, thirteen high-grade ingredients!"
Adding two Blue Immortal Coins at a time seems to be a common method used by the White-haired Immortal Chef.
“Bow down to those with deep pockets!”
Gu Zheng laughed, turned around and left. Anyway, he wasn't too interested in these high-end ingredients, so he could trick the white-haired immortal chef.
Gu Zheng felt happy, and the white-haired immortal chef felt somewhat comfortable. Anyway, in his opinion, he surpassed Gu Zheng in terms of momentum. As for the dozens of Blue Immortal coins, he didn't pay much attention to them.
Gu Zheng walked towards the next target stall. There were a lot of people around this stall. The stall owner sold more than a hundred items of resources. This was also the stall with the most goods he had seen so far.
The overall value of the more than 100 resources is not low. No matter what type of resources they are, they are all of a relatively high quality! Just like there are only three food resources here, but these three are relatively rare among high-end food materials and can arouse the interest of ancient people.
When Gu Zheng rushed to the stall, there were already three levels of people surrounding the stall.
Naturally, there were bids for the three high-end ingredients that Gu Zheng was interested in. Among them, the person with the strongest momentum was the black-haired fairy chef who had previously participated in the bidding for the Earth Mother's Root.
The black-haired immortal chef didn't have any hostility towards Gu Zheng. When he saw Gu Zheng coming over, he nodded at him. However, towards the white-haired immortal chef behind him, the black-haired immortal chef frowned in disgust.
"We are really enemies! You two want these three high-end ingredients, right? I'm so sorry, they belong to me!"
The white-haired fairy chef smiled at Gu Zheng and the black-haired fairy chef, and then made an offer to the stall owner: "Three high-grade ingredients, sixty blue fairy coins!"
Sixty Blue Immortal coins were used to buy three relatively rare high-grade ingredients. This price was not particularly outrageous in the 'Dongtian Market'. After all, it was Gu Zheng's first business transaction in the 'Dongtian Market'. Two relatively rare high-grade ingredients also cost him thirty-seven Blue Immortal coins.
"You are really rich!"
The black-haired immortal chef scratched his head in frustration. He was deeply troubled by the white-haired immortal chef's style.
"Yes, what's wrong with me just being rich?" the white-haired fairy chef said happily.
"Sixty-five Blue Fairy Coins!"
The black-haired fairy chef became furious and added five blue fairy coins at a time.
"Sixty-seven blue fairy coins!"
The white-haired fairy chef added two more as usual.
"You're cruel!"
The black-haired immortal chef gritted his teeth and said a word, then left in despair again.
Like a victorious rooster, the white-haired immortal chef looked at the dazed Gu Zheng proudly: "What? Are you scared to death? This is only sixty-seven Blue Immortal coins. Where is your previous arrogance?"
"Eighty Blue Immortal Coins!" Gu Zheng said casually.
The white-haired fairy chef was stunned. Sixty-seven blue fairy coins were already much more than the normal price! He originally thought that Gu Zheng would not increase the price, but who would have thought that Gu Zheng not only increased the price, but also was obviously absent-minded when he increased the price.
Thirteen Blue Immortal Coins were added at once, and this transaction was definitely going to be a loss. Even if these high-grade ingredients were used to make food, the cost might not be recouped. Under normal circumstances, the White-haired Immortal Chef would definitely not increase the price! Although he is wealthy, he has his own standards for purchasing ingredients. The food repairs made with these ingredients may not make money, but they must not lose money, except for fairy ingredients. But now he decided to make an exception because Gu Zheng's state was abnormal. In this absent-minded state, things were often done without consideration!
"Eighty-five Blue Fairy Coins!"
White-haired Immortal Chef changed his previous practice of increasing the price by two coins at a time and directly increased the price by five coins.
The temperament he showed was still so determined to win, but the white-haired immortal chef had already made up his mind. Even if Gu Zheng added another Blue Immortal Coin, he would not add any more, so that he could avenge his defeat in front of the last stall. A vendetta.
"Eighty-five blue fairy coins?"
What the white-haired immortal chef didn't want to see happened the most, and the muttering Gu Zheng recovered from his absent-minded state.
"Yes, eighty-five Blue Immortal Coins, if you can, add more! Let's see who among us can get these high-end ingredients!" the white-haired Immortal Chef said bluffingly.
"I'm sorry, I was a little irrational when I increased the price to 80 Blue Fairy Coins just now. Now that I have come to my senses, I will never do such an irrational thing like increasing the price again! I really want to thank you, It was you who saved me from losing some fairy coins, good man!”
Seeing Gu Zheng shaking his head with emotion, the white-haired immortal chef was really angry, but he had already increased the price. Since no one raised the price, he could only buy three high-grade ingredients at a very high price.
"Wait a moment, fellow Taoist, let me handle these few business orders first!"
The stall owner suddenly spoke to Gu Zheng, which made the white-haired immortal chef who had not left yet frown. He even doubted whether there was something fishy in the high-end ingredients he bought at high prices!
"It doesn't matter, the stall owner will finish his work first." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
The items on the stall were all good, and they were surrounded by people on three levels inside and outside. Of course, the business was more than just ingredients. The bidding of Gu Zheng and Baifa Xianchu was just one of the stall owner's four orders of business. However, immortal cultivators are different from ordinary people. They can handle several orders of business at the same time. While Gu Zheng and Baifa Xianchu were bidding, several other orders of business were also going on.
"Did you have some trouble with the stall owner just now, and then you teamed up to trick me?" The white-haired immortal chef sent a message to Gu Zheng.
"Why are you asking me? Am I familiar with you? I want to ask you to ask the stall owner!" Gu Zheng said amusedly.
There was nothing fishy between Gu Zheng and the stall owner. He was absent-minded before and it was not because he had spiritual communication with the stall owner. It was just that he felt something in the stall owner's arms was attracting him! When he had this feeling, the stall owner also felt it and looked at him incredulously.
It was impolite to use spiritual thoughts to explore things in other people's arms. Gu Zheng didn't do it even if he was curious. If the stall owner hadn't taken the initiative to talk to him just now, he would have definitely left by now.
"Chef, what's going on?"
An old female voice suddenly came from outside the crowd, and the white-haired fairy chef who was still looking depressed immediately became energetic.
Gu Zheng looked back and narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw that the speaker was an old woman in white, and there was a young man beside her.
"Master Kong, long time no see!"
"The original poster also came to visit Dongtian Market!"
"Fellow Daoist Kong, you are well and well!"
The crowd parted automatically, and many people greeted the old woman in white. She was none other than Kong Ling, the owner of Zhaixing Tower, and one of the famous super fairy chefs in the heaven.
"The poster, this guy, always has trouble with me. He always raises the price for the things I want. He took away some fairy ingredients before."
The white-haired immortal chef known as the chef immediately detailed the crimes of the ancient dispute to Kong Ling.
When Gu Zheng robbed the Earth Mother's Root before, the chef had already found Kong Ling who was visiting Dongtian Market through his spiritual thoughts, and briefly told him what happened there.
After listening to the details of the white-haired immortal chef, Kong Ling shook his head and said: "Guan Chu, you are obsessed with cooking. You rarely go out on weekdays. This time you were promoted to a super immortal chef and wanted to go out for activities. You are not good at being worldly, so being given Feelings of anger are inevitable!”
Kong Ling's seemingly casual words aroused boos from all around. They didn't expect that this guy who was very popular during the purchase turned out to be a super fairy chef! After all, special groups like super immortal chefs are rarer than quasi-sages.
"Boy, who do you study under?"
The manager was the chef of Zhaixinglou. He was so angry that Kong Ling couldn't ignore it.
"It doesn't matter who I study under when purchasing resources, right?" Gu Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Young people have quite a temper!"
Kong Ling shook her head and smiled. She didn't care about Gu Zheng's disapproval and didn't say anything more. On the contrary, the young man next to her frowned and glanced at Gu Zheng again.
"This is really a narrow road for enemies!"
Gu Zheng sneered in his heart. The person following Kong Ling was none other than Xiao Qi, Emperor Wa's disciple who had overcome the tribulation.
"Fighting is strictly prohibited in Dongtian Market. No wonder he doesn't just follow his group of senior sisters and be a little bitch!"
It can be said that Qi Ling hates Xiao Qi deeply for daring to plot ancient disputes, and the ridicule is clearly evident in his words.
"Follow him later, and I'll take action when the opportunity is right!" Gu Zheng said coldly.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Although Kong Ling didn't say anything to Gu Zheng, she didn't take anyone away either. She just stood there looking at the resources for sale at the stall and chatting with acquaintances from time to time.
Kong Ling's arrival was just a small interruption. The stall owner continued to do his business, and the few orders were processed very quickly. In just a few minutes, his busy work came to an end.
Taking out a box from his arms, the stall owner looked at Gu Zheng and said, "I have kept you waiting for a long time, fellow Taoist! In fact, I don't know what is in this box. I brought it to Dongtian Market this time. In addition to wanting to sell it, I also want to see if anyone knows what it is! Since you can feel it, I hope you can help me figure it out!"
The stall owner opened the box and saw a fruit that was as black as ink.
The fruit is very strange. It looks real and illusory at the same time. It seems to be composed of a cloud of smoke, and it seems to have real pulp. It is something extraordinary at first glance.
"This is……"
There were curious voices all around, but no one could tell what the black fruit in the box was.
"I want this!"
The chef's breathing was a little rapid. He had already opened the Eye of Tao and could see that if this unknown fruit was measured according to the standard of food ingredients, it could be classified as a natural treasure! However, it was different from ordinary fruits. Some of them made him feel unusual, but he didn't know why.
The stall owner smiled at the white-haired immortal chef and said, "Don't worry, Taoist friend. Since I am asking this Taoist friend now, let him tell me what this thing is!"
