Chapter 110: Old lady, you are too soft!
"Wineworms ..." Fang Yuan muttered lightly, walking to the side of the central reception desk.
He only needs this Liquor worm, along with four types of sweet, spicy, sour, bitter grapes — four types, to purify the Four Flavours Liquor worm. Of course, such a fusion also contained the possibility of failure.
But if Fang Yuan didn't have a second Liquor worm, he didn't even have a chance to try.
It is life after all, hard work does not mean results, or success. But if someone does not work hard, they are destined to fail.
The path of the Devils was the same, the demon cultivators were good at clearing obstacles in their path, boldly advancing in their path. For most people in the world, they are seen as extremists and adventurers.
“I was still worried beforehand where to find the second Liquor worm. Thinking that fate sent this Liquor worm right to my doorstep. The opportunity is in front of me, how can I give up? I have to get this Liquor worm!” Fang Yuan's eyes shone with determination.
“If my cultivation reaches Rank four or five, with strong fighting abilities, I will seize it mindlessly, kill the gods and kill the Buddha my way! If I am ranked third or fourth, with my considerable experience, I can steal it without anyone knowing it. Unfortunately I am only second rank now, in fact I am only early stage ... "
Fang Yuan sighed in his heart, "I can only afford it fairly and honestly like this."
He saw the price on the counter.
“Liquor worms — Five hundred ancient stones.”
The normal price of the Liquor worm is five hundred and eighty ancient stones. The price here was actually eighty pieces cheaper than the market.
But if Fang Yuan really thought he could spend five hundred ancient stones to buy this Liquor worm, then five hundred years of his life would be in vain.
Cheap prices are just to attract customers and trigger the mentality and greed of people to buy them.
This tree house was definitely an asset of Jia Fu.
"Grandmother, this Liquor worm is only five hundred ancient stones!" A young girl walked in, screaming in surprise.
The young girl's eyes glowed, shaking her grandmother's hand, “Grandmother, tomorrow is the resurrection ceremony. Didn't you promise to give me a gift? Why don't you give this Liquor worm to me. ”
The young girl's grandmother had a white belt, and the belt had a square piece of silver with the number "3" on it.
After Master Gu reached rank three cultivation, they automatically rose to the position of clan elder.
It was just that among the clan elders, there was a difference. There were powerful elders who held great political power. While others do not, they will only control the department with a slight advantage.
But this third rank elder was not that weak clan elder.
"Gu Yue Yao Ji ..." Fang Yuan immediately recognized him, this was the elder of the medicinal hall clan. The medicine hall was the clan's supporting faction, it could be said to be the most profitable department. Gu Yue Yao Ji had an enormous influence due to his seniority, even towards the clan leader, he could do with salute and retaliate while sitting down. He was Master Gu the number one healer in the clan and had saved countless lives of the clan elders, thus having an extremely powerful network in the clan.
"alright then. If my obedient grandson wants it, grandma will buy it for you.” The old woman's face was full of wrinkles. He was a hunchback and had a walking stick in one hand, helplessly sighing and saying with a kind face.
“Grandma is the best, I know grandma loves me the most,” The young girl happily grabbed Gu Yue Yao Ji, happily sticking her lips on her grandmother's cheek.
"Then granny, let's call the shop assistant and buy this Liquor worm right away!"
Gu Yue Yao Ji shook her head, “Beautiful grandson, the Gu worm here was not bought like that. Let Grandma teach you, You see the stack of papers and pens on the table?
The young girl nodded, "I saw it."
Gu Yue Yao Ji said, “Take a piece of paper and use a pen to write down the price of the Liquor worm. After that, put it in the hole. If among all the bidders, your price is the highest, this Liquor worm will be yours.”
"So that's it, very interesting." The young girl picked up the bamboo paper and held a pen, but hesitated while writing.
Her beautiful eyebrows frowned as she thought hard for a moment, then finally pouted her lips, she said, “Grandmother, what is the appropriate price? If I set it too low, others will get the Liquor worm, but if I set it too high, I will lose.”
Gu Yue Yao Ji laughed, teasing him, “How can it be so easy to buy Liquor worms? Let's see your luck..”
"Grandma!" The young girl said flirtatiously, hogging the limp and trembling arm of Gu yue Yao Ji.
"Alright, all right, stop swinging, my body will collapse." The old woman sighed, "Grandmother will fill it for you."
The young girl quickly jumped up, saying, "I know grandma is the best!"
Gu Yue Yao Ji wrote the price before entering her own name as the young girl watched with anticipation.
After he finished, he folded the paper and gestured to the girl, "Go, put the paper in."
The young girl obediently took the paper and found a hole in the counter and stuffed the paper into it.
She returned to the side of Gu Yue Yao Ji, feeling unsure, "Grandmother, can this be?"
The old woman nodded, “That's it. But life is hard to predict, someone might put a higher price. But that price will be too high. If they really bid so much, the one who bought this Liquor worm was a fool. Don't worry, the Liquor worm is in the bag. ”
"Oh." The young girl nodded with a funny expression.
"Let's go. Come accompany grandma to the top and look around.”
“Oke, granny.”
Seeing them off, Fang Yuan's eyes shone loudly.
This Gu Yue Yao Ji, to him, was a formidable competitor, could not be underestimated.
But this situation, Fang Yuan had prepared and anticipated it.
Liquor worms are very valuable. Although it can only be used for Master Gu Rank one, the Liquor worm can refine the primordial essence and it is extremely useful. Improving the primordial essence and enhancing it with one small stage — this means that the storage of the primordial essence is increasing and this has a great driving force towards the cultivation of Master Gu.
According to the popular recipe, the Liquor worm was only used as a fusion ingredient, and the newly created Gu worm lacked the purifying ability of the primordial essence.
It's too futile. In fact, it's not worth it.
Thus, most clans had Liquor worms and did not use them to undergo fusion, but were used by the academy to allow students to take turns using them.
If Fang Yuan were to expose his progress recipe, the market value of the Liquor worm would increase drastically.
“Huh, it is not easy to get this Liquor worm. This grandmother and granddaughter were just one of the competitors. I wonder how many others have put paper into this hole?
Liquor worms are a good thing, and people naturally want good things.
It was just that among these competitors, some were sincerely buying them, while others were just trying their luck. Some were rich, like Gu Yue Yao Ji, while some were poor, like Fang Yuan.
“Luckily, I regained the family assets, and these few days I have sold some of the first rank vitality leaves, plus the vineyard and the bamboo building are all rented out. So I could collect some savings. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to compete. ”
But he had too little time to save. On one hand he had plenty of Gu worms to feed, and in terms of luck he could not compete with an old lady like Gu Yue Yao Ji.
“Huh, let's go. Mr. Yao Ji just threw the paper.”
"I also saw it, it doesn't seem like I'm destined to have this Liquor worm."
Master Gu who surrounded this counter was all feeling sad.
Only Fang Yuan was still standing there.
His eyes were like a river of ravines, shining with a cold light.
The Gu Masters who left were all frightened by Gu Yue Yao Ji's aura and retreated of their own accord. But how could Fang Yuan be feared?
“Some opportunities are in front of you, it's just that people choose to give up. I still have a chance!” Fang Yuan's brain worked intensely as he thought hard.
To fight for luck, Fang Yuan was not his opponent.
Even then……
That did not mean that Gu Yue Yao Ji's bid amount was definitely higher than Fang Yuan's!
Although the Liquor worm was precious, it was still a rank one Gu worm. The price of any commodity will fluctuate, but it will definitely not rise or fall beyond a certain limit. Thus, all price deviations have a range.
The important point now was, what price did Gu Yue Yao Ji give!?
He was not short on money, and for the granddaughter he cared about, how much was he willing to pay?
As long as Fang Yuan's price, if even one point, was higher, he won.
This is a different kind of battle! The strong don't win, the weak don't lose. Guessing and gambling makes the fight even more exciting.
“If it was someone else, they might not have guessed it. Gu Yue Yao Ji, you deliberately said a few things earlier to scare away competitors? But in front of me, you are still too soft!” Fang Yuan's lips curved into a corner as he smiled confidently.
In this world, transactions are very interesting.
If it was on Earth, the seller would definitely adopt an auction style when selling rare Gu worms like Liquor worms.
But in this world, the auction did not go well.
The reason for its importance was that kinship was the greatest value here, it was the cohesiveness of the clan.
If an auction was held, the clan members would have a subconscious hostility towards an outsider like Jia Fu.
Once auction items are priced too high, they will get out of the competition and even try to appease the seller, making some leeway to exchange and compensate.
People in this world have one viewpoint — Lose from family is okay, but for outsiders to get it, it is an insult to the entire clan!
Except, several clans joined the auction together. In this case, there is competition, and it will be full of competition.
But this auction is hard to do.
Because transportation is uncomfortable.
Transportation is the basis of trade, and if the transportation system is not developed, business and trade will shrink. Because in trading, the movement of commodities is important.
Each village occupies a mountain and lives far away from each other. The road connecting them was difficult to traverse, constantly having ferocious beasts, cliffs, coupled with dangerous terrain and weather, and even the dangerous wild Gu worm — it is really full of difficulties.
Such an inconvenient transportation system made it difficult for different clans to gather together for the auction.
Even at Qing Mao Mountain with his three clans, Jia Fu did not dare to hold an auction.
First, where will it be held? It was not safe in the wild, and if it was held in Gu Yue Village, the other two clans would not feel safe.
He was only rank four, and the heads of the other three villages were also rank four. He could not suppress the situation. Compared to Earth, the trade here was not flourishing and had its own rules.
Using his knowledge of businesses and companies from Earth, Fang Yuan managed to gain and also lose money. After some painful experiences, he finally learned from the experience.
Combining complete business knowledge from Earth, along with his personal experience, without boasting, Fang Yuan possessed top-level knowledge in this worldwide business industry.
Just an old woman who has lived in the village of Qing Mao Mountain all her life, she dares to hinder me to obtain the Liquor worm?
Old lady, you are too soft!
