"Fourteen blue immortal coins for the Heavenly Flower and seventeen blue immortal coins for the Illusory Bodhi."
In response to the customer's inquiry, the stall owner stated the prices of the two most precious ingredients.
The Heavenly Flower and the Illusory Bodhi weren't just ingredients. They were also ingredients that could be used to refine some special pills. That was why many people were interested in them.
"Alright, thirty-one blue immortal coins in total. These two resources are mine."
The first customer to arrive at the stall handed over the blue immortal coins, but the stall owner didn't take them.
"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist. The items in my stall are not first come, first served. They go to the highest bidder!" the stall owner said slowly.
The first customer clenched his teeth and looked around. "Fifteen blue immortal coins for the Heavenly Flower and nineteen blue immortal coins for the Illusory Bodhi. Fellow Daoists, if there's anything higher than this, you can have these two resources!"
The first customer added one blue immortal coin and two blue immortal coins to the Flower of the Heavenly Realm and the Bodhisattva Phantasmagoria respectively. This action caused many people to sigh. Although the items were good, they had their corresponding prices. For example, the stall owner's prices for the Heavenly Flower and the Illusory Bodhi weren't low to begin with. Now that the first customer had increased the price, most people could only give up.
"Thirty-five blue immortal coins for two resources," a cultivator in blue said.
"Fellow Daoist, you're only adding one blue immortal coin?" the first customer frowned.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to cause trouble by adding one blue immortal coin more than you. These two items aren't cheap to begin with. If you want to take back the previous price, you can also add one blue immortal coin," the blue-clothed cultivator said seriously.
"I said I won't add more. You're still a lot more than me. I don't want these two resources. The market is huge and it lasts for three days. Maybe there's something cheaper! "
The cultivator who came first was quite carefree. He shrugged his shoulders and left.
"I'd better look for other targets. These two resources are good, but I can't afford them!"
It was unknown who said this, but more than half of the dozen people surrounding the stall left in an instant, leaving less than five people behind.
"Is there anyone else interested in these two resources? Name a price!"
The blue-clothed cultivator looked at the five people who were still in front of the stall.
"Two resources for a package and two blue immortal coins!"
The moment Gu Zheng made the offer, the blue-clothed cultivator, who seemed determined to get it, turned and left. As for the other people, they weren't interested in the two resources. Therefore, Gu Zheng bought the two rare high-grade ingredients for thirty-seven blue immortal coins.
Gu Zheng wasn't interested in the other things in the stall. After paying and receiving the goods, he kept walking forward.
Before he made a bid, Gu Zheng had already used his Divine Sense to scan the area. There were no resources that could tempt him in the nearby stalls, so there was no need for him to stop at every stall.
Everyone seemed to be very busy, and Gu Zheng was the same. Unless he encountered a resource that he was interested in, he would not stop to look for high quality ingredients. After all, there were a lot of these things in the Eastern Sky Market.
After stopping at more than ten stalls, Gu Zheng had a few more rare high-grade ingredients in his Chaotic Space.
"Junior Brother, how much did you get?"
Although it was not the appointed time yet, Gu Zheng still met Xiong San, who was taking another route to the market, at a crossroad in the market.
"I got some high-grade ingredients. What about you, Senior Brother?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Hehe, I also bought some ingredients. I'll give them to you when we meet later! Some of them are gifts from Senior Brother, and some of them are things that Senior Brother is interested in, but I've never eaten before. I'll have to trouble Junior Brother to cook them for me when I visit Second Senior Brother. "Xiong San said.
"Thank you, Third Senior Brother! When we go back, I'll cook some delicious food for you. I'll also cook some food for you! "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"That's good. Since Master was busy maintaining the operation of the Heavenly Realm, I haven't eaten any food for more than ten years. It's the same for Second Senior Brother and the others!" Xiong San said with nostalgia.
"By the way, Senior Brother, don't always pay attention to ingredients. Junior Brother doesn't lack high-grade ingredients. You should look at the things you need!"
Gu Zheng took out a brocade box as he spoke: "There are 100 Blue Immortal Coins in here. It's a gift from Junior Brother to Senior Brother. Senior Brother, you must accept it!"
Xiong San wasn't like Lan Yue. Gu Zheng knew that he was more 'poor'.
Xiong San didn't accept Gu Zheng's brocade box. His face immediately became serious: "I can't accept it! I'm your Senior Brother. How can a Senior Brother accept something from a Junior Brother! "
Seeing Xiong San's serious face, Gu Zheng also felt helpless. In his Third Senior Brother's heart, whether it was to ask Master to send him away or to ask Lan Yue to save his face, it was normal. However, he couldn't accept this little Junior Brother's help.
Seeing the somewhat helpless expression on Gu Zheng's face, Xiong San chuckled and said, "Don't worry, junior brother. This time, for the 'Eastern Sky Market', I have prepared some celestial coins. After all, your senior brother also needs to cultivate. If I encounter a suitable item, I will naturally take action!"
Xiong San mysteriously took out an item: "Look, this is what Senior Brother just bought. It only cost 15 Blue Immortal Coins. This is really a big loophole. It's almost priceless to me!"
The item Xiong San took out was a naked female clay figurine. There were no traces of artificial molding on it. It seemed to be a natural object.
"For you, Immortal Grade ingredients have traces of Dao. But for your Third Senior Brother, this clay figurine has traces of Dao! I hope that when I comprehend it properly, I'll be able to gain a lot. When the time comes, I'll invite Junior Brother to watch the battle! "Xiong San said seriously.
"Senior Brother, there's no need to watch the battle. Let's seize the time and go our separate ways!"
When Xiong San mentioned watching the battle, Gu Zheng was afraid that he couldn't avoid it. Previously, when they were indulging in wine and women in the Hundred Flowers Room, Xiong San knew that Gu Zheng lacked experience in that aspect. He insisted on teaching Gu Zheng a few moves. He also very enthusiastically invited Gu Zheng to watch the battle, which made Gu Zheng very embarrassed.
"Okay, then let's go our separate ways!"
Gu Zheng's embarrassment made Xiong San laugh loudly.
After parting ways with Xiong San, Gu Zheng didn't walk far before stopping for some ordinary high-grade ingredients. The reason was that the stall owner had a total of one hundred high-grade ingredients. Moreover, they were packaged at a suitable price and could be exchanged through bartering.
More than one hundred high-grade ingredients were worth Gu Zheng's time. However, Gu Zheng wasn't the only one who was interested in these ingredients. There were two other Immortal Chefs as well.
After a round of competition, Gu Zheng gave up on the one hundred or so high-grade ingredients because there were some things that could be used to cook Asian Food Xiu. Because of this, the other two Immortal Chefs bid fiercely! Asian Food Xiu was no longer of much use to the current Gu Zheng. Instead of spending a large amount of money to buy these ingredients, it was better to look at other things.
Just as Gu Zheng was about to leave, a stall owner at the side said to Gu Zheng, "Fellow Daoist, please wait. I have an ingredient here. I don't know if Fellow Daoist is interested in it!"
"What ingredient?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Originally, I didn't plan to sell it. I have other uses for it. However, this time, the Eastern Sky Market hasn't opened yet. This makes me a little angry."
The stall owner opened a jade box. Inside, there was an ivory white thing that looked like a tree root. There were very mysterious patterns on it that flickered with a faint light.
"Immortal grade ingredient, Mother Earth's Root!"
Gu Zheng's heart was filled with joy. Up until now, he had finally encountered an ingredient that could move his heart.
The stall owner didn't use sound transmission to solicit Gu Zheng's business. Therefore, the two Immortal Chefs who were competing with Gu Zheng for the high-grade ingredients naturally saw what happened here. Now that they saw the stall owner take out an immortal grade ingredient, their faces lit up with joy. They immediately came to the stall.
"Fellow Daoist, how much is this immortal grade ingredient?"
The white-haired Immortal Chef who had won the high-grade ingredients asked.
"Fifty blue immortal coins. Bartering!"
After the stall owner gave the price, Gu Zheng and the other two frowned slightly.
The price of an immortal grade ingredient was determined by the number of traces of Dao it contained. For example, Gu Zheng had once bid for the immortal grade ingredient five-colored venison in Luxia Town. At that time, he had spent about thirty-five blue immortal coins! The traces of Dao in the five-colored venison were relatively less compared to other immortal grade ingredients. The Mother Earth's Root in front of them indeed contained more traces of Dao than the five-colored venison, but it wasn't a lot more. The normal price was forty-three blue immortal coins at most. However, the stall owner wanted fifty blue immortal coins. It couldn't be said that it wasn't expensive!
"Alright, fifty blue immortal coins!"
The black-haired Immortal Chef who hadn't won the high-grade ingredients earlier said. Although he knew that the stall owner's dish was more expensive, the value of an immortal grade ingredient couldn't be measured by blue immortal coins. What if he comprehended the Dao because of it?
"Fifty-two blue immortal coins!"
The white-haired Immortal Chef who had won the high-grade ingredients was still determined to get the Mother Earth's Root.
"Fellow Daoist, what about you? Aren't you going to bid? "The stall owner smiled at Gu Zheng.
"You can ignore this fellow Daoist. I'm in a hurry. Hurry up!" The white-haired Immortal Chef looked at the stall owner with displeasure.
"Is it because I didn't compete with you for the high-grade ingredients that you think I'm not a threat to you?" Gu Zheng looked at the rich and imposing white-haired Immortal Chef with a funny smile.
"Yes, that's what I think!"
The white-haired Immortal Chef paused and looked at Gu Zheng with disdain. "Fellow Daoist, you don't know who I am, right? I'm the Immortal Chef of Picking Star Lou. Do you think you can snatch away something that the Immortal Chef of Picking Star Lou wants? "
Picking Star Lou was the biggest Immortal Chef in the Eastern Sky District. No wonder the white-haired Immortal Chef was so confident.
"And you, you're an Immortal Chef from the Western Sky District. You came to our 'Eastern Sky Market' to buy things. Do you think I'll give you this immortal grade ingredient?" The white-haired Immortal Chef said disdainfully to the black-haired Immortal Chef.
"Picking Star Lou is very rich, but our Buddha Light Pavilion isn't bad either, right? I didn't compete with you for those high-grade ingredients because I don't like them! But if you want to get this immortal grade ingredient, it depends on whether you're willing to spend your immortal coins or not! "The black-haired Immortal Chef said disdainfully.
Although the Immortal Chef Sects had formed an alliance in the Primitive Desolate Era, and even in the Heavenly Realm, the alliance still existed. However, it was normal for there to be competition and intrigue within the alliance.
The white-haired Immortal Chef shrugged and said, "Fine, if you're not convinced, then just bid!"
"Fifty-five blue immortal coins!"
The black-haired Immortal Chef had a determined look on his face as he directly added three blue immortal coins.
"Good, Immortal Chefs are really generous! Now, it's fifty-five blue immortal coins. Fellow Daoist, do you want to increase the price? "
The stall owner looked at Gu Zheng again, but Gu Zheng just smiled meaningfully and didn't say anything.
"You're not increasing the price or leaving. Are you just here to watch the show?"
The white-haired Immortal Chef frowned. Gu Zheng's meaningful smile made him feel as if Gu Zheng was watching their performance.
"Why do you care what I do? Just increase the price!" Gu Zheng rolled his eyes.
"Fine, I want to see what tricks you're playing!"
The white-haired Immortal Chef smiled at Gu Zheng and continued to increase the price. "Fifty-seven blue immortal coins!"
"Why aren't you making a move?" the Immortal Chef Artifact asked anxiously.
"Let's wait and see. There's no hurry!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"This white-haired Immortal Chef is really arrogant! So what if he's an Immortal Chef from Picking Star Lou? Just smash him to death with eighty blue immortal coins. Anyway, you don't lack immortal coins. I don't believe he has the guts to exceed eighty blue immortal coins! "The Immortal Chef Artifact Spirit raised his brows, looking rich and overbearing.
"I think this will be fun. I also think that this immortal grade ingredient will belong to me, and I won't have to spend a lot of blue immortal coins!" Gu Zheng smiled craftily.
"Oh? Why do you say that? "the Immortal Chef Artifact Spirit asked curiously.
"Didn't I take out the Profound Heavenly Stone to barter with the stall owner when we were competing for those high-grade ingredients? The stall owner's eyes almost popped out when he saw me take out the Profound Heavenly Stone! After that, he tried to solicit business from me. He even revealed that he didn't want to sell the Root of Mother Earth. This means that he doesn't want immortal coins, but something useful to him! When I didn't bid for the Root of Mother Earth, he asked me about it twice, and his eyes were fixed on me. It's obvious that he was worried that I would leave! "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"That's just your analysis! Even though the Heavenly Profound Stone was rare, it was merely a supreme-grade resource, which was equivalent to the price of a high-grade ingredient. His Mother Earth's Root was an immortal grade ingredient, and its price had already exceeded sixty blue celestial coins! Even if he wants your Profound Heavenly Stone, you still have to add immortal coins! "the Immortal Chef Artifact Spirit said.
"I feel that I can exchange the Profound Heavenly Stone for the Root of Mother Earth without adding immortal coins! No matter how much other people bid, he just wants to maximize his profits. However, he can't maximize his profits with me here! If he only wanted to make a deal with me through voice transmission, I wouldn't care about the immortal coins. However, since he wants to earn more, he recruited the other two Immortal Chefs. In that case, he won't be able to earn much! "
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, then continued, "This isn't just a matter of looking at a problem from some clues, and it's also not just a feeling of overconfidence! Now that my cultivation has increased to the late stage of Almighty Immortal, some of my feelings have also changed. This is different from before! "
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, the Immortal Chef Artifact Spirit said, "Whether it's what you think, we'll know after we try. You can leave now and see if the stall owner will keep you!"
