"Wutong's" words caused Li Gucheng's originally eager heart to regain its calmness.
He looked at the tall and thin "Wutong" in front of him and didn't speak for a long time.
Prince Li's background was one of the best in the entire Red Dust World.
And he himself was blessed by the stars of fortune, as if he had a special affinity with all kinds of rare treasures. Many of the lost treasures in the Mortal World had been rediscovered by him.
Therefore, he didn't care about most of the treasures in the world.
But Prince Li Junior also had his own worries.
His innate talent was somewhat lacking.
Although his father had helped him recuperate since he was young, and he himself was blessed by the heavens with many treasures, it could only make up for it to a certain extent. Up until now, there were still some shortcomings.
Therefore, although his martial cultivation had made remarkable progress, the speed of improvement had been getting slower and slower in recent years.
It wasn't that there was no solution, but it wasn't something that could be solved by simply piling up resources and treasures.
For example, there was a precious panacea called the Soothing Pill. According to historical records, it was suitable to solve Li Gucheng's problem.
Unfortunately, the Soothing Pill had been extinct in this world for many years.
Even with Li Gucheng's heaven-defying luck, he hadn't encountered it even after working hard for a long time.
And the recipe for the Soothing Pill had also been lost for many years.
Therefore, to Li Gucheng, this elixir was one of the few things that he could not get his hands on.
Of course, with his luck, he might encounter it one day in the future.
But the problem was, what if he didn't encounter it?
Moreover, this matter involved the advancement of his own cultivation. The longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. If he found it too late, it would be meaningless.
Right now, it seemed to be a rare opportunity.
Therefore, Li Gucheng's heart was unusually eager.
However, the words of 'Wutong' reminded him of something.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world …
Prince Li Junior pondered and said, "To you, a mere Soothing Pill's recipe is not that valuable, right?"
"Wutong" smiled and said, "But looking at you, it must be very valuable to you. We all know that how high an item can be sold for mainly depends on how much the buyer wants it."
Li Gucheng secretly curled his lips.
Did I make it so obvious just now?
Alright, that wasn't important. What was important was how to get the pill recipe.
"The thing you gave Mister Zun just now, is it related to … that Supreme Being?" Li Gucheng said, pointing upwards.
'Wutong' nodded, "It's just a small clue. I'm not sure whether or not it's related. I'm just doing my best to pay attention to it. Then, I'll collect everything that's possible and give it to Sir Zun. Whether or not it's really useful is up to Sir Zun to judge."
Li Gucheng said, "Looks like you've gained something valuable this time."
Chen Luoyang, who was disguised as Wutong, replied, "It seems that this is indeed the case. However, I'm not too clear about it myself. Just like what you said before, whether it's Honored Sir or Supreme-Being, they are both too far away from us."
Li Gucheng asked, "What did you find this time? Where did you find the clues?"
Without waiting for "Wutong" to speak, he rushed to say, "Elemental Immortal Grass and Heaven Valley Essence Jade. Guaranteed quantity. You can have as much as you want. I'll take care of it."
'Wutong' seemed to laugh, "Now, it's not just this price."
Li Gucheng frowned, "Don't push your luck. Since you've come to Sir Zun to think of a way, it means that you can't get Elemental Immortal Grass and Heaven Valley Essence Jade through other channels."
'Wutong' replied calmly, "You're right, but I'm not in a hurry to use these two treasures. I can take my time looking for them. Can you wait like me? Whether or not an item can be sold for a high price depends on how badly the buyer is in need of it, right? "
Li Gucheng thought for a moment and said, "You can add one more thing."
"That won't be necessary." The tall and skinny young man opposite him said, "Looks like you're someone with a great background. You're very rich in resources. If we can establish a long-term partnership, it'll obviously be better. I just hope that in the future, if I have a competitor who wants to compete with me for the same thing, you can give me priority. Of course, that's under the condition that I offer the same price as someone else."
Li Gucheng sneered, "You were a little more straightforward just now. We've forged a good relationship. Why wouldn't I give you preferential treatment? You're controlling me now. It's already good enough that I don't retaliate in the future. "
'Wutong' didn't laugh and said indifferently, "This is a treehouse. Everything has to be fair and equal. Even if I agree with your point of view, it's not okay to deliberately give in."
Li Gucheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. "You … speaking from experience?"
'Wutong' didn't answer and changed the topic, "Do you agree to the terms of the deal that I mentioned just now?"
Li Gucheng felt a little more pressure in his heart.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said calmly, "Deal. The Elemental Immortal Grass and Heaven Valley Essence Jade that you want. How much exactly do you want, and how do I give them to you?"
'Wutong' asked, "Do you have a Cloud Swallowing Pouch?"
Li Gucheng replied, "I don't have it on me right now, but I can find it."
Its function was to store a large number of inanimate objects.
However, one couldn't store whatever they wanted and use it as they pleased.
Instead, they would store the objects in one go and then seal them until they were all 'spat' out the next time.
In order to prevent the objects from affecting each other, it was best to store only the same object at a time.
This treasure was refined from the spirit pouch of a spirit beast known as a Cloud Swallowing Beast after it was killed. It was extremely rare and precious.
Even if one had the intention to rear a Cloud Swallowing Beast, the number of such spirit beasts was still very limited.
Therefore, this Cloud Swallowing Pouch was also relatively rare in the Mortal World. Because of its rigid usage, most of the time, it was only used as a special function for large-scale transportation. It wasn't something that people could carry around for convenience.
'Wutong' said, "It's easy as long as you can find the Cloud Swallowing Pouch. When the time comes, you just need to store a hundred kilograms of Heaven Valley Essence Jade together. I don't need that many Elemental Immortal Grass, I only need three. When Sir Zun invites us over as guests next time, you just need to bring the things with you and then give them to me here."
After a slight pause, he said, "According to the usual practice, Mr. Zun will summon us once every month. However, there is a possibility that he will suddenly summon someone from time to time. I'm not sure about this time. You can just give me the item during the next meeting."
The tall and thin man that Chen Luoyang was disguised as said, "As for the clues you want, I can give them to you this time."
Li Gucheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Wasn't such an approach against the principle of equal trade?
Or was it because of Sir Zun that he didn't need to worry about reneging on the debt at all?
This time, it was because he wanted Sir Zun's Soothing Pill recipe, so the transaction was more secure. What if it was purely a transaction between the two of them next time?
Although Young Prince Li didn't intend to renege on the debt, he couldn't help but have many questions at this moment.
He didn't say anything more and just nodded. "Okay, deal."
"I didn't find the clues in the Mortal World, but in the world under the Mortal World." The tall and thin man said, "That world has been turned upside down by me. If you go there again, you won't be able to find anything. However, you can follow this train of thought and go to the other worlds under the Mortal World to take a look. Maybe you will find something. Of course, I can't guarantee this."
Li Gucheng pondered for a moment and said, "Although it's very vague, thank you for your guidance. I will give you the things you want the next time we meet."
'Wutong' smiled. "That couldn't be better."
Li Gucheng looked around. "How do we leave?"
'Wutong' stood up and walked towards the outside of the palace. "Once we walk out of this door, we will naturally leave the tree house."
After saying that, her figure disappeared at the door of the main hall.
Li Gucheng didn't follow immediately. Instead, he walked around the hall.
He didn't dare to act presumptuously. He only walked around and observed to avoid provoking Sir Zun.
After walking around, Li Gucheng couldn't find anything valuable. He had no choice but to leave.
He walked out of the main hall's door like 'Wutong'.
The moment he walked out, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
As the light and shadow changed, his vision was a blur. It was the same situation as when he was first brought here.
When the scene in front of him returned to normal, Li Gucheng realized that he had already returned to his Prince's Mansion.
It was quiet outside the bedroom. The palace maids and servants didn't realize that their master had gone out for a walk.
Li Gucheng shook his head and suddenly laughed.
In his originally boring life, it seemed quite interesting to add such a scene …
On the Tree of God, Chen Luoyang sent Li Gucheng off and ended his two-man show.
He knew Li Gucheng's situation and knew that he was in urgent need of Soothing Elixir. Naturally, it was Black Pot's contribution.
At the moment, he also knew that Li Gucheng was not an actor, but a real royal family.
However, it was not the royal family of Southern Chu, but the royal family of Western Qin.
In the Mortal World, there was no great unified dynasty, but a group of heroes.
In addition to many holy lands and famous families, there was more than one dynasty in the world.
Of course, it was not wrong to say that these royal families were the top martial arts aristocratic families.
The Southern Chu was the Cheng family, and the Western Qin was the Li family.
Li Gucheng was the youngest son of the current Western Qin Emperor. He was born weak and unsuitable for martial arts. After he grew up, he was not considered as the heir.
However, he seemed to be as talented and lucky as Han Mei.
And there were some differences. Han Mei's luck was more comprehensive and random, while Li Gucheng was more inclined to material natural treasures.
His life experience was simply like a history of searching for treasures or a list of treasures, and it was a dazzling line-up that dazzled Chen Luoyang.
In terms of overall wealth, it might be doubtful whether the Western Qin or the Southern Chu was richer.
But in terms of personal wealth, the brothers Cheng Qiyuan and Cheng Huyuan would be crushed by Li Gucheng.
"He is a rich tycoon, but he is also very lucky …" Chen Luoyang covered his face and sighed.
"In that case, work hard for me."
After thinking for a while, Chen Luoyang did not continue to try to bring others through the Tree of God. Instead, he withdrew his mind from the Tree of God and went to the black mirror.
