The Price of Provocation
"This woman should be someone important, but I don't know her exact identity." Gu Xuan thought to himself.
He chose to refuse not because he didn't want to make friends with this kind of person, but in fact, he was playing hard to get. For this kind of arrogant person, the more indifferent he appeared, the more attention he would attract.
After this incident, at least he left a good impression in Chen Zihan's eyes, which would be of some help in the future.
Although Gu Xuan didn't have any interaction with this person now, with his strength, he would definitely not be limited to the low level of the Spiritual level. Once he stepped into the Xuan level, he would be considered to have officially entered the competition of the various forces in the county.
If he wanted to quickly catch up with the cultivation speed of his peers, he could only rely on his own efforts. Under the circumstances where he couldn't expose his strength too much, it was obviously not possible. He must have his own forces. First, he must control the Gu family, then dominate the county.
Only by relying on the strength of a family could he obtain enough resources.
Therefore, whether it was for public or private reasons, restoring the strength of his father, Gu Tianmo, was a top priority.
Although Gu Tianmo had lost all his strength now, he used to be a seven-star Xuan level master. At a young age, he had already become the strongest person in the Gu family. At the same age, Gu Duanchen was only a three-star Xuan level master. After becoming the master of the family, he wantonly exploited the family's resources to advance to six-star Xuan level.
Gu Xuan summoned the Icy Soul Frost Flame out of his body and hid it in his sleeve.
"Later on, if you see anything of value, tell me." Gu Xuan used his mind to communicate with him.
"Okay, leave it to me." Yun Xi was also quite excited. She had been living in the Origin of Ice and Snow. In such a dangerous place, it was naturally boring. She couldn't let go of this opportunity to see the outside world.
There were many items with unknown uses in the trading market. Therefore, shopping here was basically a "treasure hunt". Every year, there would be people who would find treasures here every day and become rich overnight. Of course, most of them would still buy useless things and lose everything they had.
He and Yun Xi, one was a strong person from his previous life, the other was an innate spirit. If there were treasures, they definitely wouldn't be able to escape their eyes.
After Gu Xuan strolled through most of the trading market, he finally saw an item beside a stall. His eyes lit up.
The Deep Sea Ironwood was a Tier 3 Spirit Medicine. It was abnormally hard and was even several times stronger than steel.
This kind of spiritual medicine was generally used as a material to refine weapons, but Gu Xuan knew that this Iron Wood had another wonderful use, which was to refine it into a pill, which could be used to bear human fire.
The Origin Human Flame existed in the Dantian. For those whose cultivation had been destroyed, their Dantian had been shattered. The Human Flame had no place to stay and could only gradually dissipate.
The function of this Fire Core was to replace the Dantian and act as a shelter for the Origin Source Flame. However, to refine this Iron Wood into a Fire Core was not something that could be done by ordinary flames. Only the Heavenly Fire could melt it.
Therefore, this miraculous use was gradually not known by people. Only a master like Gu Xuan who was well-versed in the Alchemy Dao would intentionally dabble in it.
"How much is this Ironwood? It's dark and swarthy. How about three gold coins? " Gu Xuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked forward. Then, he pointed at the thicker iron wood and said.
"What?"
The old man sitting at the stall looked angry. "This is Deep Sea Iron Wood. A King level expert pulled it out of the Scattered Star Sea. You want to buy it for three gold coins? One price, one thousand two hundred gold coins. If you want to buy it, then buy it. If not, then forget it. "
Gu Xuan rolled his eyes. Was a King level expert so free that he would go to the Scattered Star Sea for this broken thing?
However, this old man knew that this was Deep Sea Iron Wood. It was impossible to take advantage of it.
"One thousand two hundred gold coins, plus that small one."
Gu Xuan did not talk nonsense. He pointed at a shabby Iron Wood on the side.
"Good, good, good!"
The old man agreed. He could not hide the joy on his face. Those small pieces of Iron Wood were originally free gifts from the large Deep Sea Iron Wood. Gu Xuan only chose the shabbiest of the dozen small pieces of Iron Wood to make arrows. This made him a lot of money.
Gu Xuan counted out enough gold coins. Just as he was about to hand it over to the old man, an arrogant voice came from the side. "Wait!"
Zhou Mei was alone. She walked over arrogantly. "I want this piece of wood. Three thousand gold coins. I can make a scabbard."
The old man was stunned. His old face wrinkled as he laughed. He looked at Gu Xuan and said, "Here, the highest bidder wins. Take a look …"
Gu Xuan frowned and said, "Then I only want the small one from before."
"I want that small one too. One thousand gold coins." Zhou Mei glanced at Gu Xuan and snorted.
"You're here to cause trouble?"
Gu Xuan's face darkened. He wanted to give face to the Marquis House, but it did not mean that he was afraid of them. Moreover, this was only a future heir.
"I'm here to cause trouble. So what? You had someone protecting you before. Let's see what you can do now!"
Zhou Mei snorted. Her long whip shook. Like a snake, it went straight for Gu Xuan.
Whoosh!
The wind rolled into a ball, as sharp as a knife.
Pa!
Gu Xuan moved his feet. The tip of the whip that was going for his arm hit the ground, creating a hole the size of a water tank.
Gu Xuan's face darkened. A cold look appeared in his eyes. If this whip hit him, one of his arms would be broken. Although Zhou Mei's whip was more ruthless, it was obviously impulsive. But this time, this woman obviously did it on purpose.
Just because of a few words, she wanted to turn him into a cripple?
Feeling the coldness from Gu Xuan, Zhou Mei could not help but panic. It was as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast. Her scalp tingled.
"This trash!" Zhou Mei gritted her teeth and cursed. Her whip whizzed out again. But her mind was in a mess. This whip was full of flaws.
"Cloud Steps!"
Gu Xuan shouted in his heart. His body suddenly turned into an illusion. The whip that was filled with the power of the Profound Level Flame was dodged again.
"Damn it!"
Zhou Mei cursed. She waved her long whip wildly. But Gu Xuan's body seemed to be weightless. It was as if he was floating with the wind from the whip. Every time, her attack brushed past him.
"Let go!"
Gu Xuan jumped in front of Zhou Mei. His finger pressed on the acupuncture point on Zhou Mei's wrist.
Bang!
Under the backlash of the Profound Level Flame, Gu Xuan only felt pain in his finger.
"Ice Spirit Cold Flame!"
Gu Xuan wrapped the flame around his finger and pointed again.
"Ah!"
The Black Level Flame Energy was burned through by the Ice Soul Cold Flame without any resistance, and this finger heavily hit Zhou Mei's wrist joint, causing her to cry out in pain.
