"Just these three things?"
Chen Jude was very excited. If Gu Zheng only wanted these three things, then he really didn't ask for much.
"That's right, it's these three items," Gu Zheng said.
"Okay, I accept Fellow Daoist Bai's conditions! In addition, as long as Fellow Daoist Bai treats me, I will pay Fellow Daoist Bai 30 Blue Immortal Coins as a reward! "Chen Jude said seriously.
"Since Fellow Daoist Chen is happy, then I won't refuse this kindness." Gu Zheng laughed.
Gu Zheng wasn't surprised that Chen Jude would pay something else as a reward. After all, Chen Jude had already given him 20 Blue Immortal Coins before the matter was settled! If the matter was settled and he didn't express anything else, then it would really be too unreasonable. What's more, although Gu Zheng had made conditions, the value of the things he asked for was far less than 20 Blue Immortal Coins.
"That's right, I'm really happy!" Chen Jude also laughed out loud.
After settling the matter of treating Chen Jude, Gu Zheng went to see Huang Qi and Yang Jue, then followed Chen Jude to the Chen family's mountain. According to Chen Jude's situation, he began to prepare food therapy for him.
Chen Jude's situation was much better than Lin Dongliang's, so Gu Zheng also made adjustments to the amount of food therapy materials. With the experience of dispelling Lin Dongliang's curse power, Gu Zheng's treatment of Chen Jude was much smoother.
Gu Zheng also used the Law of Time to treat Chen Jude. In addition, Chen Jude's situation wasn't as serious as Lin Dongliang's, so Gu Zheng only spent three days to cure Chen Jude.
In terms of remuneration, Chen Jude didn't skimp on it. He also wanted to invite Gu Zheng to a meal in the Extremely Fragrant Small Hut to express his gratitude, but Gu Zheng declined.
With the things he got from the Chen family, Gu Zheng returned to the Misty Inn and saw Huang Qi and Yang Jue.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, this is the Void Return Pill you have always wanted."
Gu Zheng handed the Void Return Pill to Huang Qi.
"Although it is a bit strange to thank Fellow Daoist Bai, I still want to thank Fellow Daoist Bai!" Huang Qi said happily.
"It's a small matter."
Gu Zheng smiled and took out the Heavenly Jade Carving, "Fellow Daoist Yang, I have seen this jade carving, but I didn't find anything special about it!"
Not only had the Heavenly Jade carving's's's jade carving, but they also couldn't find any clues about the ruins's.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Bai," Yang Jue said holding holding '''s have a look....
'' '' '''s' '' '''s's, '' '' '' '''s, the Bai ''s
"Eh?"
The mysterious symbol had been drawn, but the jade carving didn't react at all. According to the jade slip, when the mysterious symbol was drawn on the celestial cyan jade carving, the jade carving would shatter and the clues would appear.
"Daoist ''t"' ''t
"Let me try!"
Huang Qi took the Heaven Azure Jade Carving and drew a mystical symbol on it. However, the Heaven Azure Jade Carving did not react.
"What's going on?"
'' Huang Qi frowned, and so did Yang Jue. Both of them were trying to figure out where the problem was.
"Fellow Daoists, are you sure '' the '' ''s' is' 'this' '?"
Gu Zheng's words made the two of them frown even more. Huang Qi said, "What Fellow Daoist Gu means is that there was more than one Heavenly Cyan Jade Carving in the core, and the Heavenly Cyan Jade Carving mentioned in the jade slip is not this one?"
"We can't rule out this possibility. Have you seen any other Heavenly Cyan Jade Carvings in the core?"
"No, '' Yang Jue shook his head and said," We didn't see any other ''.
They thought they'd easily obtained the '' key '', but it turned out to be useless. '' Gu Zheng's group was a bit depressed about this. Although they were depressed, this kind of thing required luck. Without luck, there was nothing they could do.
Gu Zheng quickly got over it, but Huang Qi and Yang Jue couldn't let it go. After all, they'd been thinking about it for hundreds of years.
In order to alleviate their depression, Gu Zheng brought them to a quiet place in Luxia Town. Then, he displayed his skills and cooked a few delicious dishes. Only then did the two of them feel a little better.
Since their original plan had been put on hold because of '' the '', Gu Zheng didn't plan to stay in Luxia Town any longer. After attending the Chen's' auction, he'd leave Luxia Town and continue his travels.
After all, he'd already seen everything '' in Chen Jude's''s' ', and some of them were useful to him.
Over the next few days, many cultivators swarmed into Luxia Town to participate in the Chen family's auction.
The Chen's' auction wasn't small. It was divided into three days, and each day was divided into the morning and the afternoon.
The first day's items were relatively low-grade, the second day's items were mid-grade, and the third day's items were the highlight.
Because they already knew what was going to be auctioned, Gu Zheng didn't attend the first and second day's auction. It wasn't until the third day's auction that he went with Huang Qi and Yang Jue.
The auction was very lively, and many people came to attend. Some of them were just there to watch the fun. Anyway, the entrance fee of five red celestial coins wasn't too high.
When Gu Zheng and Huang Qi arrived, there was already a long line of people waiting to enter the auction house.
Because Chen Jude knew that Gu Zheng would be attending the auction, he'd told the cultivators in charge of maintaining order to pay more attention.
"Fellow Daoist Bai!"
A cultivator from the Chen Clan, who was originally in charge of maintaining order at the entrance of the auction house, immediately welcomed Gu Zheng and the others with a face full of smiles.
This Immortal Cultivator from the Chen Clan was already at the Void Return Realm. Gu Zheng had seen him once before. That was in front of the Chen Clan's gate when he stepped on the Chen Clan.
Things were different now. This Chen Clan Immortal Cultivator, who had looked at Gu Zheng with hatred at the Chen Clan's gate, was now looking at Gu Zheng warmly, as if he had seen a close friend he hadn't seen for many years.
"I thought Fellow Daoist would be here two days ago. I didn't expect to see Fellow Daoist only today. The first VIP room prepared by the Patriarch has been empty for two days!"
Hearing the enthusiastic voice of the Chen Clan's Immortal Cultivators and the mention of VIP Room No. 1, the people who were originally queuing up all turned to look at Gu Zheng and the others.
"The items auctioned two days ago weren't very good, so I didn't come." Gu Zheng smiled.
Under the watchful eyes of the people in line, the group entered the auction house, leaving behind many envious gazes and voices.
Because Luxia Town held an auction every year, the Chen and Lin Clans' auction houses were shared. The scale was very large and the interior was very luxurious. The auction house Gu Zheng had attended in the Cool Breeze Temple could not compare.
Gu Zheng's VIP room was on the second floor of the auction house. The entire second floor was made up of individual rooms. Gu Zheng's room was in the middle and had the best location. Therefore, it was named VIP room number one.
"I'm really basking in Fellow Daoist Bai's glory. It's my first time attending an auction in such a room!"
Sitting in the VIP room, Yang Jue couldn't help but sigh.
The VIP room on the second floor of the auction house cost two blue Immortal coins just to use it for one auction! In terms of practical use, although the VIP room was luxurious and had various restrictions to facilitate the auction, it was not worth the price of 2 blue immortal coins. However, such a VIP room was a symbol of status.
Moreover, the VIP room that Gu Zheng and the others were in was the number one VIP room. If an ordinary person wanted to use it, they would have to pay four blue celestial coins! Although the actual value of VIP room number one wasn't worth that much, some people were willing to spend money for it.
Although Yang Jue and Huang Qi were Jin Xian cultivators, they were very frugal as rogue cultivators. If it wasn't for Gu Zheng, they definitely wouldn't have bought such a VIP room.
Gu Zheng only smiled at Yang Jue's sigh. Just as Yang Jue was about to say something else, a knock came from the door.
After learning that Gu Zheng had arrived, Chen Jude, who was behind the scenes, personally came to deliver refreshments to Gu Zheng's group.
After chatting for a bit, Chen Jude suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Bai, are you still interested in the jade carvings from last time?"
"Hmm?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"Two days ago, a few more sellers sent over some items. These items are temporary additions to the auction. One of them is a celestial jade carving. It's very similar to the one Fellow Daoist Bai likes!"
Chen Jude paused for a moment before continuing, "Does Fellow Daoist Bai like the jade carving itself or the description?"
"What's the difference between the two?" Gu Zheng asked.
"If you like the jade carving itself, then this jade carving is different from the previous one. The only difference is that it's a condom. If you like the description, then this jade carving is from the same person as the previous one. This means that this jade carving was produced in the ancient ruins of Luxuriance Town a hundred years ago!"
Chen Jude's words made Gu Zheng's heart skip a beat. It seemed that this matter, which he had thought was over, was finally resolved.
"Whether it's the jade carving itself or the description, I'm very interested in it," Gu Zheng said.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I'm very sorry! The price set by the person who commissioned this jade carving is very high, so it will be placed in the auction in the afternoon. Moreover, there are people from the Heaven's Music Sect participating in this auction. I can't just buy it for Fellow Daoist Bai like I did with the previous jade carving. "
The Heaven's Music Sect that Chen Jude mentioned was the sect that the Chen family was attached to. The Heaven's Music Sect was also a well-deserved sect. It was ranked eighth among all the immortal cultivator sects in the entire North Continent.
"It's okay. I'll buy it if the price is right," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Chen Jude did not stay in the VIP room for too long. After he left, Huang Qi and Yang Jue looked at Gu Zheng excitedly, implying that he must get the Heaven's Cyan Jade Carving.
The auction in the morning soon began. Due to the Immortal Array in the VIP room, Gu Zheng and the others just sat lazily in the comfortable chairs and looked at the void in front of them. There was a light shadow that clearly showed what was happening on the auction stage.
"The first item for auction today is a tail feather of the Tao Wu. The starting price is 25 Yellow Immortal Coins. Each increment must be no less than two Yellow Immortal Coins. The auction starts now!"
Following the auctioneer's voice, the sound of bidding could be heard.
The Tao Wu was a kind of phoenix, but it was rarer than a phoenix in the Untainted Land. Its tail feather could be used to refine high-grade fairy weapons and was considered a precious material for refining weapons.
In just a short moment, the bidding stopped. In the end, the first item, the tail feather of the Suan Ni, was sold for eighty yellow immortal coins. Eighty yellow immortal coins was equivalent to more than three blue immortal coins.
Unknowingly, a few items had been sold in the auction.
However, in VIP room 1, apart from Yang Jue who bid twice for the same material, Gu Zheng and Huang Qi had not bid yet.
"The next item for auction is a pill. This is a Jin Xian Pill. The starting price is 100 Yellow Immortal Coins. Each increment must be no less than two Yellow Immortal Coins!"
The appearance of the Jin Xian Pill brought a small climax to the auction.
The Jin Xian Pill was not a pill that increased one's cultivation. It increased one's success rate.
For immortal cultivators to enter the Jin Xian Realm, they had to go through the Mysterious Realm and comprehend it.
It was very difficult to enter the Mysterious Realm, but it was easier to comprehend it than to enter the Mysterious Realm. However, this was not absolute! If the difficulty of comprehending the Mysterious Realm was 20% when one entered the Return to Void Stage, then the difficulty of comprehending the Mysterious Realm was 50% when one entered the Jin Xian Realm. The difficulty of comprehending the Mysterious Realm increased to 80% when one entered the Daluo Jinxian Realm.
The Jin Xian Pill could be taken in advance when one was in the Return to Void Stage. When one entered the Mysterious Realm of the Jin Xian Realm, it would increase the chances of comprehending the Mysterious Realm by 30% when one entered it!
With the 30% increase in the Jin Xian Pill and the 50% increase in the Mysterious Realm of the Jin Xian Realm, the probability of entering the next realm was 80%. This was already a very high probability. For powerful sects, if any of their outstanding disciples were about to enter the Jin Xian Realm, they would think of ways to prepare a Jin Xian Pill for them in advance.
"The Jin Xian Pill is constantly being refined. Although the starting price is only 100, the final price should be around 500. Back then, I bought the Jin Xian Pill from an acquaintance and spent 400 yellow immortal coins!" Yang Jue exclaimed.
"I spent 420 yellow immortal coins."
Huang Qi's expression was bitter. Rogue cultivators like them were like people without a family background in the real world. They had to rely on themselves for everything.
Yang Jue's prediction was right. The Jin Xian Pill that brought the auction to a small climax was sold for 496 yellow immortal coins.
"The next item is a high-grade ingredient. It's Viburnum Nectar from the Immortal Realm. The starting price is 25 yellow immortal coins. Each increment must be no less than 1 yellow immortal coin, "the auctioneer said.
The Viburnum Nectar was one of the items that Gu Zheng had his eyes on. He, who had not participated in the auction, finally opened his mouth at this moment.
"Thirty-five yellow immortal coins!"
Gu Zheng didn't raise the price one by one. Instead, he directly quoted a relatively high price. Although he didn't have a high-grade ingredient like the Viburnum Flower Nectar, he knew that the Immortal Chef Shops outside would purchase Viburnum Flower Nectar for 20 to 30 yellow immortal coins.
"Thirty-six yellow immortal coins!"
"Thirty-seven yellow immortal coins!"
Gu Zheng thought that since his price was not low, no one would bid. However, who would have thought that there would be two bids? However, the two bids were not high either. Each of them only raised the price by 1 yellow immortal coin.
"Thirty-eight yellow immortal coins!"
Gu Zheng called out another bid. The auction hall quieted down.
If they were not Immortal Chefs, when the price of the Viburnum Nectar reached thirty-eight yellow immortal coins, they would not be able to make a profit.
After waiting for about five seconds, the auctioneer asked, "Is there anyone who bids higher than thirty-eight yellow immortal coins?"
"Thirty-eight yellow immortal coins going once!"
"Thirty-eight yellow immortal coins going twice!"
"Thirty-eight yellow immortal coins going thrice!"
"Sold!"
In the end, Gu Zheng managed to get the 50 grams of nectar he wanted at the price of 38 yellow immortal coins.
In order to ensure the safety of the bidders, there were all kinds of immortal arrays and restrictions in the auction hall. The voices of the bidders would change. When the auctioneer went to deliver the items, those who had nothing to do with the auction would not be able to see them. In other words, if there were no accidents, those who had nothing to do with the auction would not know who had won the bid.
When the auctioneer brought the Viburnum Nectar to Gu Zheng to complete the transaction, in another private room, a gentle-looking young man stretched out his hand and drew a mysterious symbol in the air. The void trembled, and the scene in another private room appeared. The bidder in this private room was unexpectedly the owner of the Extreme Fragrance Cottage, Lu Piaoxiang.
"You paid the thirty-seven yellow immortal coins for the Viburnum Nectar just now, right?" the gentle-looking young man asked.
"That's right, I paid."
Lu Piaoxiang was not surprised to see the scene in another private room appear in the void.
"Why didn't you bid in the end?" the gentle-looking young man asked again.
"Someone paid thirty yellow immortal coins, so I stopped bidding!" Lu Piaoxiang said with a smile.
"Thirty-eight yellow immortal coins isn't a lot, but the value of the Viburnum Nectar is at least two thirty-eight yellow immortal coins, right? Don't tell me the person who paid thirty-eight yellow immortal coins is that guy surnamed Bai? "the gentle-looking young man said.
"Except for Immortal Chefs, no one else would pay that price. As far as I know, the only Immortal Chefs who participated in this auction are me and him. Since he wants it, then let him have it," Lu Piaoxiang said indifferently.
"There are better ingredients than the Viburnum Nectar in this auction. If he still wants it, do you still want to give it to him?" the gentle-looking young man said with a smile.
"How is that possible?"
Lu Piaoxiang helplessly looked at the gentle-looking young man.
"Let's not talk. The people of the Heavenly Music Sect are also here. If they know that you're casting your technique, it will be troublesome."
"Hmph, how can they know that I'm casting my technique? What a joke! "
The gentle-looking young man shook his head in disdain, then said, "Forget it, I won't care about your business. I'll just focus on the auction."
Without waiting for Lu Piaoxiang to say anything, the gentle-looking young man waved his hand, and the scene in the void disappeared.
"The thing I want will only appear in the afternoon. Waiting is really boring! Since that's the case, it's not a bad idea to have some fun! "
The gentle-looking young man muttered to himself. His ears strangely became as long as a donkey's in an instant! Then, many sounds that were originally blocked by the immortal arrays and restrictions of the auction house flew into his ears like bees.
For ordinary people, having so many sounds buzzing around their ears like bees was a very irritating thing. However, for the gentle-looking young man, this was the so-called fun. As he listened to the chaotic sounds, a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.
