Luo Jin clenched his teeth. The process of purifying his Internal Strength was uncomfortable. His Dantian felt like it was overturned. The effect of the pill had changed his Internal Strength qualitatively, but it also made his Internal Strength restless. Luo Jin needed to calm it down and prevent it from running around. If he were to do this alone, there would be a certain degree of danger. However, with Gu Zheng's help, there was no need to worry about any danger other than the pain of the process.
After a while, Luo Jin, who was sweating profusely, finally calmed down. During this process, white mist came out of his head from time to time. Now, his Internal Strength had calmed down and its color had changed from white to red. It was running through Luo Jin's Eight Extraordinary Meridians so that his body could adapt to the changed energy as soon as possible.
After circulating his inner strength for thirty-six cycles, he opened his eyes, which were originally closed.
"I feel like I'm full of power!"
Luo Jin jumped up and shouted as he hit the air with his palm again.
"Ow …"
The Tiger Head Internal Strength flew out with great momentum, causing the air to emit a sound like a beast's roar.
"This is many times more powerful than when his Internal Strength was not purified!"
"It's not only the power that has increased, but also the speed. This is the most valuable part."
"Fellow Luo, you're still young, but you've already purified and transformed your Internal Strength. Very few cultivators in the same realm can compete with you."
"I've learned something new. It turns out that other than the Internal Strength Essence Pill, there's also a pill called the Purity Pill that can purify Internal Strength."
"Leader Gu, do you have any more Purity Pills? I want to buy one! "
"Do you have any more? I want to buy one too! "
The crowd was excited. Some of them were amazed that Luo Jin's Internal Strength had been purified, but most of them wanted to ask Gu Zheng for a Purity Pill.
"What's going on? Aren't you able to see through objects? Shouldn't you eliminate these things in advance if you don't know their effects? "
Gu Zheng was busy dealing with the crowd. In the Kunlun Sect's Crown Prince Faction, Nangong Chen whispered to Cui Ying. Due to his trust in Cui Ying, he had waited until now to ask this question that he should have asked earlier.
"Gu Zheng's box is strange. I can't see what's inside, so I can only choose randomly," Cui Ying said hatefully.
"Fellow Daoist Cui, what are you talking about? Is it about winning or losing? "
Gu Zheng had already dealt with the troublemakers. He smiled and looked at Cui Ying.
"Hmph." Cui Ying snorted coldly, "The bet is only thirty pieces of Tier 5 resources, and the pill that can purify one's inner strength has already reached the Spirit Grade. Thirty pieces of Tier 5 resources are really nothing compared to it! Sect Master Gu, you're really willing to make a move! "
What Cui Ying said was right. In order to refine the 'Inner Strength Essence Pill', other than the fifth grade resources, it also needed some special grade resources. Therefore, the grade of the finished pill had already reached the spirit grade. However, what Cui Ying did not know was that the refining cost of Gu Zheng's Purity Pill was many times lower than the Inner Energy Essence Pill.
"I can't help it. I'm afraid of losing!" Gu Zheng's voice paused, and a complicated expression appeared on his face. "Actually, I only had a fifth-grade resource in my other box. Fellow Daoist Cui, you abandoned my fifth-grade resource and left behind this spirit-grade resource. I don't know if I should say that I'm unlucky or lucky!"
Looking at Gu Zheng's complicated and emotional expression, Cui Ying was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't believe that the resource that I gave up was only a fifth grade resource. You'd only dare to use a fifth grade resource in a bet like this unless you're stupid," Cui Ying said angrily.
"I'm an honest person. Why would I lie to Fellow Daoist Cui? If you don't believe me, take a look! "
Gu Zheng seemed to take out a box from his backpack. In fact, this box was taken out from the Chaos Space. The appearance of the box was no different from the previous one, but the thing inside was only a fifth grade herb.
"You, you win!"
Cui Ying was so angry that her face turned green. She wanted to slap herself fiercely. She had been playing with eagles all her life, but in the end, she was pecked blind by them.
If Cui Ying knew that the box that she gave up contained a Purity Pill, who knew how she would feel?
"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Cui. I've won the bet this time, right? If I win, shouldn't you give me the bet? "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Here!"
Cui Ying suppressed her anger and threw the resource in the bag to Gu Zheng.
"Sect Leader Gu, this is your resource." Luo Jin also handed his resource to Gu Zheng.
"Put away your dog's tail grass."
Gu Zheng smiled and glared at Luo Jin. After this incident, he understood that Luo Jin was actually grateful to him.
"Hehe." Luo Jin smiled embarrassedly and took back his first grade resource.
"Although Sect Leader Gu has won this gamble, in reality, he has also lost. He can only treat it as thirty Rank Five resources in exchange for a single Spirit Rank resource."
"That's right. It's still a loss."
"How can you say that he lost? He won because of his reputation. In his eyes, reputation is more important than resources. This is not something that we can compare with. "
"There are winners in this bet. Isn't Luo Jin from the Heavenly Spiral Sect one of them?"
While everyone was still discussing the bet, Gu Zheng turned to the Shu Mountain Crown Prince Faction and said, "Everyone, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
In fact, Gu Zheng couldn't wait for something to happen to these people! If the matter was big enough, Kunlun would pay more attention to it. He could also see Wuchen Zi as soon as possible.
"Sect Leader Gu, please wait. I wonder if Sect Leader Gu is willing to make a bet with me?" Nangong Chen asked.
"These people are still unwilling to give up! But thinking about it, they're usually like geniuses. When have they ever suffered such a setback? "Gu Zheng laughed in his heart.
"Daoist Nangong also wants to make a bet with me?" Gu Zheng turned around with a surprised expression.
"Yes, I also want to make a bet with Daoist Gu!" Nangong Chen laughed.
"I love to make bets. Since you guys are so enthusiastic to make a bet with me, I'll take it as a different way of treating your guests. First, tell me, what do you want to bet with me?" Gu Zheng said.
"Let's also make a bet related to resources! As cultivators, we should be familiar with resources. " Nangong Chen paused and then said loudly, "The two rows of stalls in front and behind us, stall owners who are not Kunlun disciples, if you want to participate in this bet, put away the things in your stalls and put out new resources. The higher the value of these resources, the better. After all, this is related to your income later."
With Luo Jin's experience as a precedent, the stall owners who were not Kunlun disciples in front and behind Gu Zheng immediately put away the resources in their stalls.
"Letting them put away the resources is for fairness and to prevent Daoist Gu from being suspicious. These resources have already been placed here. I've seen them before, so I'm familiar with them. If Daoist Gu agrees to make a bet with me, I'll let them put out new resources. The two of us have ten minutes to choose the resources from these stalls! Everyone can choose a variety of resources that they think are more expensive on the market. Then, each of us can choose the most expensive one. Then, we'll compare the resources chosen by the two of us. Whoever has the highest market value will be the final winner, "Nangong Chen said.
"I believe that this is a hurried bet. Although the rules are a little rough, there shouldn't be any tricks in it," Gu Zheng said after thinking for a while.
"I promise Daoist Gu that I won't play any tricks in this bet. I want to compete with you in terms of knowledge and understanding of the value of resources. If Daoist Gu is also good in this aspect, you can rest assured and make a bet with me. If we win, we'll win happily. If we lose, we'll lose honorably," Nangong Chen said solemnly.
"Sure, let's talk about the details."
Gu Zheng's expression was also very serious. In fact, he was sighing for Nangong Chen in his heart. If Nangong Chen really didn't play any tricks, how could he be better than the Weapon Spirit?
"The details are actually very simple. You have to buy the resources you like! Because the stall owners are not Kunlun disciples, if you can't buy the resources you like, you can only say that you're not capable. It's the same for you and me. After all, this matter has troubled all the stall owners. After the bet is over, the loser has to pay each stall owner a Level Four resource as a reward for their hard work. As for our bet, just now Cui Ying bet 30 Level Five resources with you. I'll also bet 30 Level Five resources with you! "
Although Nangong Chen and the others were from the Crown Prince Party, they still couldn't afford to bet 30 Level Five resources at once. After all, resources belonged to the Kunlun Sect. The resources they had were all given to them by their elders or obtained from other places. It could be considered as their 'private stash'. Nangong Chen's plan was to turn the tables on Gu Zheng and win back the resources that Cui Ying lost to him.
Gu Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, then let's bet 30 Level Five resources!"
Seeing that Gu Zheng had agreed, Nangong Chen said to the two rows of stalls, "Everyone, get ready to start!"
Following Nangong Chen's voice, the stall owners immediately got ready. After all, even if there was no deal, there would still be a Level Four resource as a consolation prize. It was considered a good job.
Although there were two rows of stalls, there were actually only six stalls participating in the bet. After all, the stalls of the Shushan Sect disciples were not allowed to participate. There were very few non-Sushan disciples in the first place.
"Okay."
After the resources were laid out, the six stall owners spoke one after another.
"Fellow Cultivator Gu, let's start now!"
"Okay." Gu Zheng nodded.
"Fellow Cultivators who are here to watch the show, please be witnesses and follow Fellow Cultivator Gu and I. If we break any rules, you just have to point it out. I, Nangong Chen, will reward you handsomely!" Nangong Chen added.
"Okay, Fellow Cultivator Nangong is fair!"
"I don't think anyone will break the rules. There are so many people watching!"
The onlookers burst into laughter.
The six stalls were arranged in a row with three stalls. Nangong Chen and Gu Zheng ran to a row each.
"Gu Zheng, go to the second stall. There's something good there." The Weapon Spirit's voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"What is it?" Gu Zheng asked.
As non-Kunlun Sect disciples, the stall owners did not have many resources to begin with. After withdrawing the original resources and replacing them with new ones, the number of resources in each stall was much less than before. There were even two stalls that only had three or four types of resources. As for the stall that the Artifact Spirit mentioned, there were five kinds of resources on display. Gu Zheng didn't see anything special at first glance.
"It's that blood-red crystal. You must buy it later." The Weapon Spirit said happily.
"What is this crystal? It's not a crystal, is it? "Gu Zheng asked again.
"It's a type of crystal. However, it's a very rare 'Dragon's Blood Crystal'. It can be used in special situations. This kind of thing is rare even in the Untainted Land. According to the grade of resources here, it should be the best! However, the stall owner probably doesn't know its use. Maybe you'll get lucky! "The Weapon Spirit said with a smile.
"Stall owner, how do you sell these resources?" Gu Zheng went straight to the point.
In the rules set by Nangong Chen, there was only one resource that could determine the outcome of a competition. However, everyone could buy many of them. There was a reason for such a rule! With Luo Jin's experience as a precedent, every stall owner wanted to make a fortune. This was unavoidable and human nature. If the resource that determined the outcome of the competition was a single item, and each person could only buy one item, the stall owner would most likely raise the price because it was a rare item that was worth hoarding.
The stall owner that Gu Zheng asked was a thin old man with a goatee and a Taoist robe. He looked at Gu Zheng with a little surprise and then said, "Sect Leader Gu, are you going to sell these resources?"
"Yes." Gu Zheng said.
"These five resources are all my treasures. They can be considered as the only treasures in the sect. One of them is the 'Golden Crow Fruit', which is rare among the fifth-grade resources. The other three are all special-grade resources. As for this crystal, although I don't know its use, I feel that it is very extraordinary. If Sect Leader Gu wants to exchange all of these resources, I need five special-grade resources! "
The goateed Taoist priest's expression didn't change, but his heart was beating wildly. What is looting a burning house? This is looting a burning house! On the surface, there was only one fifth-grade resource and three special-grade resources. As for the blood-red crystal, it wasn't that he hadn't asked someone to identify it, but no one knew what it was. If no one knew what it was and didn't know its use, it would be useless to say that it was a star in the sky.
"Okay, five it is!"
Gu Zheng didn't lack these resources. He waved his hand and took out something that was equivalent to five special-grade resources from his backpack.
"Aiyo, Sect Leader Gu is really straightforward. I like to do business with a generous investor like you. I don't lack resources!" The stall owner hurriedly packed up his resources and gave them to Gu Zheng. He couldn't even close his mouth from smiling.
Although Gu Zheng had picked up the 'Dragon's Blood Crystal', this item couldn't be used to decide the outcome of the bet. After all, no one knew what it was. Therefore, he hurriedly went to the next stall.
The next stall didn't have any resources that could be used for the bet. Gu Zheng hurriedly rushed to the row where Nangong Chen was.
There were also only three stalls in the row where Nangong Chen was. At this moment, he was at the second stall, bargaining with the stall owner.
Before Gu Zheng even got close to the third stall, the Weapon Spirit had already told him that there was nothing that he could use in this stall. However, in order to complete his act, Gu Zheng still walked to a place where he could see it. Then, he turned and ran to where Nangong Chen was.
"It seems that the item that can be used to decide the outcome of the bet is the item that Nangong Chen is bargaining with the stall owner." Gu Zheng thought to himself.
