Gu Zheng didn't know what it was exactly, but he had a rough idea.
However, knowing this kind of thing was related to knowledge. Now that Xiao Qi was beside him, it wasn't a good thing to expose such knowledge.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Immortal Chefs who were interested in this outside of the circle. Even ordinary cultivators could feel that it contained a rich and strange energy. The reason Gu Zheng could sense it through the restriction on the box was that Gu Zheng had cooked many ingredients outside of the circle.
Now, facing the stall owner's inquiry, many people turned their eyes to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked the stall owner through sound transmission, "If I can tell you the origin of this thing, will you sell it to me?"
"Fellow Daoist, you're the first person who sensed this thing. To me, you have the priority to buy this thing. Although I want to sell this unknown thing for a good price, I want to know what it is more! If you can clear my doubts and give me a convincing explanation, I'll sell it to you at a cheaper price. However, after hearing Fellow Daoist's explanation, I will ask the other customers and see how they explain it before deciding who to sell this item to in the end. "
The stall owner's reply was reasonable. After hearing it, Gu Zheng said, "This is something outside of the circle, so not many people know about it …"
In the Untainted Wasteland, only a few people outside of the circle knew about it. After all, in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, the Untainted Wasteland was the universe. There were countless planets under it. Planets like Gu Zheng's hometown, which could give birth to life and contained immortal energy, might not even be found in a few hundred million planets. However, they were just a speck of dust in the vast Untainted Wasteland.
No one knew how many planets there were under the Untainted Wasteland. How big was the Untainted Wasteland? Even Quasi-Sages couldn't touch its borders! The reason for this was, besides the problem of distance, the spatial turbulence and spatial storms that could appear at any time during space travel. In some places, these things were so powerful that they could easily kill Quasi-Sages! Because of this, only Sage Immortals had truly been outside of the circle! And since Sage Immortals had told others about this, then the people who knew about this must be related to Sage Immortals.
Gu Zheng didn't know much about things outside of the circle, but even so, some of the things he said still moved the stall owner.
For some things, the stall owner asked Gu Zheng through sound transmission, but most of them were things that Gu Zheng couldn't explain.
"Stall owner, for some reason, I hope that you won't speak of what I've told you in the Eastern Sky Market." Gu Zheng transmitted his voice to the stall owner.
"Stall owner?"
Seeing the stall owner in a daze, Gu's's t.
's's's's's's's's's's's's's's's's, I'm.... Daluo Jinxian's late-stage cultivation is not considered low in the Heaven Realm, but if he were to be placed outside the circle, would he be just a speck of dust? "The stall owner sighed.
In response to the stall owner's lamentation, Gu Zheng only laughed bitterly and then asked, "Is the stall owner satisfied with my explanation?"
"I'm quite satisfied, but I still have to ask the other customers! If their explanation doesn't satisfy me, or if they can't explain it at all, then I'll sell this item to you, Fellow Daoist, "the stall owner said.
"Stall owner, there's something I want to tell you in advance. If someone says that this is something from outside the circle, no matter what he says, I hope you won't tell him the explanation I gave you."
Gu Zheng sensed that Kong Ling was communicating with Xiao Qi via voice transmission. As a disciple of a Sage Immortal, Xiao Qi might know a little about things outside the circle. Gu Zheng wanted to kill him today, so he did not want to alert the enemy.
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry. Since it's inconvenient for you, then I won't tell the explanation you gave me to anyone in the Eastern Sky Market," the stall owner said.
"Okay, thank you, stall owner," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
After ending the communication with Gu Zheng, the stall owner said, "Just now, this Fellow Daoist gave me some explanations. I believe what this Fellow Daoist said, but what he said was not detailed enough. If you know the origin of this item, you can also explain it to me! Although I also want to sell this item for a good price, I will only sell it to those Fellow Daoists who can explain it to me. "
When the stall owner's voice fell, there was no chaotic communication in front of the stall. After all, the stall owner had already said the rules of selling this item, so if one wanted to buy this item, their understanding of this item was a secret! Therefore, even if someone explained to the stall owner, they would use the voice transmission method. The rest of the people who were full of curiosity could only helplessly look at this relatively quiet situation. .
"Fellow Daoist's explanation is not enough to convince me. You said this item is the 'Fruit of the Netherworld Sea', but I have also been to the Netherworld Sea and have never heard of such an item!"
The stall owner first shook his head at a rough-looking cultivator, then looked at a skinny cultivator. "Fellow Daoist's explanation is the truth. This item contains a rich mysterious energy. This is something that everyone can see! As for Fellow Daoist's explanation of how to absorb this energy, it is very insightful. However, what I need is an explanation, not a method to absorb this energy. Therefore, Fellow Daoist's answer is not satisfactory to me. "
After rejecting the two cultivators who transmitted their voices to him, the stall owner transmitted his voice to Gu Zheng. "Fellow Daoist, the owner of Zhai Xing Lou's explanation is more detailed than yours. He said that this item is relatively rare even outside the circle. Its name is' Black Sky Fog Fruit '. The places where this item can be born are usually in the nests of strange beasts outside the circle. Its formation is also affected by the aura of strange beasts. I believe his explanation! According to the rules I mentioned earlier, I should sell this item to him. However, I have also told Fellow Daoist that you are the first person who sensed this item. You have priority in purchasing this item. Therefore, I want to ask you now. If I give you the opportunity to compete with him, would you be willing? If Fellow Daoist is not willing, I will sell this item to the owner of Zhai Xing Lou. "
"I am willing!"
Gu Zheng did not hesitate at all when he heard the stall owner's reply. He did not think that the stall owner would say this to him. He just wanted to get a good price through competition. He truly felt that the stall owner was more benevolent! It was not just the stall owner who believed the owner of Zhai Xing Lou's words. Even he believed it very much! Moreover, there was a basis for his belief. Because he had come into contact with ingredients outside the circle. Some of them were parts of strange beasts outside the circle! And in the special composition of the Black Sky Fog Fruit, he had seen the same substance as the ingredients of strange beasts. This also meant that what the owner of Zhai Xing Lou said about the formation of this item being affected by the aura of strange beasts was correct! And he did not doubt that if he did not want this priority, the stall owner would sell the Black Sky Fog Fruit to the owner of Zhai Xing Lou at a cheap price.
Seeing that Gu Zheng had agreed, the stall owner turned to Kong Ling and said, "Fellow Daoist's explanation is very unique and convincing. However, your explanation is still not clear enough. Therefore, it will depend on the final price of the two of you! Of course, if Fellow Daoist does not believe me, you can also give up. Then I will sell this item to this Fellow Daoist at a cheap price. "
The stall owner pointed at Gu Zheng. This made Kong Ling frown.
"I wonder what kind of explanation this Fellow Daoist gave to the stall owner that made him believe it!" Kong Ling asked the stall owner.
"No matter what explanation he gave me, I can't find a reason to refute it. Therefore, he has the right to compete! But you, if you are not willing to compete, just say something. "
The stall owner did not seem to like the way Kong Ling spoke. He obviously did not have the same patience with her as he did with Gu Zheng.
"Alright!"
Kong Ling shrugged. She did not seem to care about the stall owner's attitude.
"There is one more thing I need to ask. The stall owner said that our explanations have the right to compete. But if the stall owner later says that someone else also has the right to compete, will that person also participate in the competition?"
Kong Ling was very cautious. If this was how the stall owner did business, then the price of the Black Sky Fog Fruit in her heart would be affected.
"Among so many Fellow Daoists, only the two of you gave an explanation that meets the standards in my heart. Therefore, I have decided to sell this item to the two of you!"
The stall owner explained to Kong Ling. He then looked at the onlookers and said, "Fellow Daoists who are interested in this item, I can only say that I am sorry! Also, my curiosity about this item has come to an end. I hope that Fellow Daoists will not transmit any more explanations to me. Regardless of your explanation, you have lost the right to compete for this item. "
"I have already said so. Do you have any other questions?" The stall owner looked at Kong Ling again.
"No." Kong Ling smiled.
"Since there are no more questions, you may place a bid." The stall owner said indifferently.
"Fifty blue immortal coins!"
The stall owner did not mention a base price, so Kong Ling casually made a bid to test the waters.
"Eighty blue immortal coins!"
Gu Zheng directly added 30 blue immortal coins to the bid.
Kong Ling frowned slightly and made another bid. "One hundred blue immortal coins!"
The crowd booed. An item without a base price had already reached one hundred blue immortal coins after three bids. It was hard to imagine how much it would be sold for.
"One hundred and twenty blue immortal coins!"
Gu Zheng also added twenty blue immortal coins. He had to obtain this ingredient from outside the circle because when he saw it, he also had the recipe for the Black Hole Food Cultivation in his mind. Moreover, due to the special nature of this ingredient, some mystical substances would allow the Black Hole Food Cultivation to have an extremely powerful devouring ability. Even the experienced and knowledgeable Gu Zheng could not help but feel a little apprehensive when he thought about this terrifying devouring ability.
"Kid, don't play with fire. Be careful not to burn yourself!"
Kong Ling said slowly to Gu Zheng. Based on her previous experience as a chef, she felt that Gu Zheng's current bid might be to make her lose more money.
"Playing with fire is to burn others. How could I burn myself?"
Gu Zheng smiled. There was no way he would tell Kong Ling that he was determined to obtain this item, and then allow him to raise the price without restraint.
"You have guts!"
Kong Ling shook her head with a smile and made another bid. "One hundred and fifty blue immortal coins!"
"Sure enough, it has reached one hundred and fifty blue immortal coins. It seems that my previous estimate was not wrong!"
"Awesome! Is this item really worth such a sky-high price? "
"It's definitely not worth it to us, but it might not be for an Immortal Chef!"
The surrounding people sighed with emotion. Gu Zheng also pretended to hesitate for a moment before making another bid. "One hundred and seventy blue immortal coins!"
Kong Ling's eyes narrowed. Although she really wanted this ingredient from outside the circle, it seemed that it was not worth it. After all, she was not Gu Zheng. Her cultivation was limited, and she could not use this ingredient to make something like the Black Hole Food Cultivation. This ingredient was not that valuable to her.
However, even though it was not worth it, Kong Ling was still thinking about Gu Zheng's attitude. She was thinking about whether she should raise the price again. What if Gu Zheng increased the price again and she gave up? After all, this would make Gu Zheng lose more money and also help the chef vent his anger.
Gu Zheng saw Kong Ling's hesitation. He smiled at her and said, "Increase it. Let me see how much you can increase it!"
Gu Zheng deliberately revealed a cunning look in his eyes. Kong Ling, who wanted to increase the price, felt a chill in her heart and finally decided to give up.
"Kid, you're awesome. I hope that this item can be worth more than one hundred and seventy blue immortal coins in your hands!"
Kong Ling smiled and then walked out of the circle.
"Hmph, you better remember this!"
The chef glared at Gu Zheng and hurriedly chased after Kong Ling.
Xiao Qi also left. Although he did not say anything to Gu Zheng, he stared at Gu Zheng as if he wanted to remember Gu Zheng in his heart.
Looking at the three people leaving one after another, Gu Zheng could not help but rejoice in his heart. Fortunately, Kong Ling did not have the courage to increase the price. Otherwise, for someone like him who was determined to win, this transaction would really be painful.
After paying one hundred and seventy blue immortal coins to the stall owner, Gu Zheng received a high-quality ingredient from outside the circle. Then, he began to secretly pay attention to Xiao Qi's movements.
"It seems that I have to find time to sell some resources!"
One hundred and seventy blue immortal coins was not a small amount. Coupled with the previous purchase in the Eastern Sky Market, Gu Zheng's immortal coin reserves had almost reached the bottom! If he did not want to kill Xiao Qi, he really wanted to sell some things in the Eastern Sky Market and exchange them for some immortal coins.
Xiao Qi and the others were not affected by the previous loss. They were still talking and laughing as they strolled around the Eastern Sky Market. Gu Zheng did not deliberately avoid them. On the contrary, when they went to the stalls, Gu Zheng would also take a look.
Kong Ling was an Immortal Chef, and the resources that she fancied were generally things that Gu Zheng fancied. Therefore, it was inevitable that the two of them would compete again. However, in the next few rounds, all of them were won by Kong Ling. After all, Gu Zheng did not have much immortal coins left. Moreover, he had obtained an ingredient from outside the circle, so he was not in the mood to buy high-grade ingredients.
Time passed unknowingly, and the appointed time with his two senior brothers was approaching. Gu Zheng did not go to the appointed place. Instead, he used his divine sense to find them and tell them about the situation here.
Lan Yue and Xiong San could not intervene in the battles between disciples passing their tribulations. They could only warn Gu Zheng to be careful.
After talking with his two senior brothers, Gu Zheng did not continue to follow Xiao Qi and the others. Instead, he left the Eastern Sky Market.
After leaving the Eastern Sky Market, Gu Zheng placed a restriction in the void. This way, when Xiao Qi and the others left the Eastern Sky Market, he would be the first to discover them.
However, there were a total of four exits in the Eastern Sky Market. Who knew which one Xiao Qi and the others would leave from? Therefore, Gu Zheng needed to place the same restriction at the other three exits to be absolutely safe.
After placing restrictions at the four exits, Gu Zheng found a place to stay and wait for Xiao Qi and the others to appear.
Two hours later, Xiao Qi and the others, who had strolled around enough, finally decided to leave. At the entrance of the Eastern Sky Market, he said goodbye to Kong Ling and the chef.
"You're the only one left. This is even easier!"
Gu Zheng had already seen what happened at the exit through the restriction.
Xiao Qi had a flying immortal tool, which allowed his flying speed to be faster than ordinary people. Gu Zheng frowned. The gorgeous Phoenix Eagle wings unfolded from his back. He flew towards the path that Xiao Qi would definitely pass.
After an incense stick's worth of time, Gu Zheng stopped and cast a spell to hide in the void. According to his previous speculation of Xiao Qi's flying direction, Xiao Qi would definitely pass by him.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Qi appeared in the distance. As long as he flew over in a moment, Gu Zheng was ready to use a thunderous method to kill him.
Of course, killing Xiao Qi was only Gu Zheng's hope. However, he also understood that as a disciple of a Sage Immortal, Xiao Qi was definitely not as simple as a late stage Daluo Jinxian. It was hard to say whether he could kill him or not. However, no matter what, this operation could not be delayed for too long. The Heaven Realm regulated fighting, and there were often patrolling Heavenly Soldiers wandering around. If their fight was discovered by the Heavenly Soldiers, it would be a troublesome matter! After all, there were no rules. For cultivators who respected strength, if there were no such rules, the Heaven Realm would definitely be a very chaotic place.
Xiao Qi was already close to Gu Zheng. However, he frowned and glanced in the direction where Gu Zheng was hiding.
Xiao Qi found that there was someone hiding in the void there. But who was it? What was his purpose? He didn't know such things, but he was cautious and immediately deviated from his flight path.
To be able to find someone hiding in the void under normal circumstances, this was already enough to show that Xiao Qi had some ability.
Gu Zheng's heart stirred. Under the Dao of Space, he teleported near Xiao Qi and slashed at Xiao Qi's neck.
"Bang!"
The immortal robe that Xiao Qi was wearing automatically defended against the enemy. The barrier that rose up blocked Gu Zheng's slash.
"It's you!"
Xiao Qi frowned and struck out a palm at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng directly activated the Immortal Realm. He and Xiao Qi disappeared into thin air.
