Chapter 111: Ancient stones are only material goods
"Grandma, Gu what is this?" The young girl curiously pointed to the central counter on the third floor.
There were three floors in this tree house; the first floor sold rank one Gu worms, the second floor sold rank two Gu worms and the third floor sold rank three Gu worms.
The higher you go, the fewer Gu worms and the more expensive they will be.
Naturally, Gu worms sold in treehouses were all rare and valuable.
Gu Yue Yao Ji followed his grandson's gaze and looked at the bucket-shaped tree stump, tall and thin. The stump had five branches like five human fingers and was intertwined in the middle.
The ball-shaped Gu worm that was about the size of a thumb was wrapped around by fine branches and covered by green leaves, emitting a silvery-white glow.
"This is a white silver Gu Relic, it can only be used once and can instantly increase the cultivation of Master Gu ranked three by the small realm," Gu Yue Yao Ji slowly explained.
Relic Gu is a series of Gu worms.
Rank one had a green copper Gu Relic that was specifically targeted for Master Gu Rank one. Rank two had a red steel Relic Gu that was only effective at Rank two Master Gu, and Rank three was this Silver Relic Gu.
Rank four had the yellow gold Gu Relic.
"It costs thirty thousand ancient stones, it's very expensive!" The young girl was very surprised, she stuck out her tongue.
Gu Yue Yao Ji nodded, “The price should finally reach at least fifty thousand ancient stones. Alright, we've been walking around for quite a while here, let's go to the first floor reception desk, the result of Liquor worm bidding should have already come out. ”
In the tree house, a rank one Gu worm would only be displayed for half a day after there was an offer for it. For the Gu worm that people were less interested in, it would be on display until someone made an offer.
Rank two Gu worms will be displayed for a day and rank three worms for two days.
At first glance, this practice seems strange but when practiced, it is the most suitable way of doing business.
At the reception desk.
"What, the Liquor worm has been bought by someone else?" Gu Yue Yao Ji immediately frowned after seeing the results. He had put up a high price and was confident in obtaining the Liquor worm, but to think he had completely miscalculated.
“Hmph! Who's so bad for snatching my dear Liquor worm? ” The young girl angrily asked.
"Yao Le," Gu Yue Yao Ji reminded his grandson.
The young girl pouted and obediently closed her mouth.
The sales clerk behind the counter was the second ranked female Master Gu. He slightly bowed and replied to the young girl, “Sorry, we cannot divulge our customer information. Every business has special rules, please forgive me.”
It is this secrecy that eliminates the concerns of many customers and allows them to freely take part in the offer.
Sometimes, people will have some things that they obviously want, but they will give up on others because of feelings and politeness. After all, they would often meet each other in clans.
But such a method of conducting transactions secretly allows one to overcome the issue of sentiment.
Why should such a good thing go to you? Because you are my senior, brother or friend?
Never underestimate the dark side in everyone.
Such secret transactions allowed this dark side to come out.
Gu Yue Yao Ji pondered for a moment and said, “I know the rules. You don't need to worry little girl, I won't ask the name of the person who bought the Liquor worm, I just want to know what the final price is.”
The female Master Gu bowed again, “I'm really sorry, the price is also a secret. But please do not worry, the final price is definitely the highest among all offers. Jia family business has always centered on honesty.”
"Hmph, little girl, do you know who I am?" Gu Yue Yao Ji's face sank and snorted coldly.
"What the hell is going on?" At this moment, a third rank middle-aged Master Gu rushed over.
These treehouses were constantly monitored; they would naturally know if something happened.
"Supervisor." Female Master Gu immediately greeted this middle-aged man.
The man waved his hand at the girl, "You can leave now, I'll handle it here."
He turned towards Gu Yue Yao Ji and smiled, “So it was mister Yao Ji. She's supposed to be your granddaughter, right? She looks smart and sweet.”
Gu Yue Yao Ji's expression softened upon seeing that this man was also a rank three Master Gu, but he still asked to find out the final price.
The male supervisor felt that the situation was a bit complicated.
He was an elder in the caravan and also a trusted aide of Jia Fu. After doing business for so many years, he had a deep understanding of the situation of Gu Yue village and knew the influence this old lady had.
To them, even if they offended Gu Yue Chi Lian or Gu Yue Mo Chen, they did not want to offend Gu Yue Yao Ji. The latter's influence was second only to the clan leader Gu Yue Bo.
The male supervisor mused and said, “How about this, since mister Yao Ji wants to buy the Liquor worm, I can take action and secretly transfer one. To be honest, the warehouse had three Liquor worms and Master Jia Fu personally decided where to sell them. You should know how valuable Liquor worms are. As for the price, let's decide on your bid price. ”
However, Gu Yue Yao Ji slightly shook his head and dropped the stick in his hand onto the ground.
He said, “I'm not looking for a quote. The price..will be the same as the previous Liquor worm sale price.”
"This ...." The supervisor hesitated, he naturally looked at Gu Yue Yao Ji's purpose.
Gu Yue Yao Ji pretended to be annoyed and continued to suppress the man's supervisor, “What? Is the price so high that you're afraid I won't be able to afford it? ”
After hearing the price, the young girl first heaved a sigh of relief, but soon after she felt somewhat angry, "What, it's only twenty more primeval stones than ours?"
Gu Yue Yao Ji narrowed his eyes, but did not speak.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan had already walked out of the tree house and arrived at the wine shop.
The second Liquor Worm already had it, and now the only thing he needed was four types of — grapes sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy wine.
“I already have a sweet wine; there are still quite a lot of golden honey grapes left from the family heritage mission. Spicy and sour grapes should not be a problem. My only concern is bitter wine. ” Fang Yuan was a bit worried when he thought about this.
If he had bitter wine, he could start purifying the Four Flavours Liquor worm tonight.
Many things in life are like this, whatever you fear, it will come true.
Fang Yuan's worries became a reality. He spent several hours rushing through countless tents; he found spicy and sour wine, but he did not find any bitter wine.
“Not all things in this world follow our desires.” Fang Yuan was extremely helpless. He could only put aside the fusion plan for the Liquor worm.
Without the Four Flavours Liquor worm, his cultivation speed would be ordinary.
In the afternoon, he went to the tree house again.
There's a new Gu worm at a lot of counters on the first floor.
Center counter – where Liquor worm has been displayed – is now occupied by Gu Air Purifier.
Gu Cleansing Water resembled a leech on Earth, only it was much sweeter than a leech; its entire body had a light blue luster like sparkling water.
“Gu Water Purifier can remove mixed aura at aperture. For Chi Cheng, it was the Gu worm that he had to have.” Fang Yuan thought of Chi Cheng when he saw this Cleansing Water Gu.
He knew Chi Cheng only had C grade talent and had forcibly increased his cultivation with the help of his grandfather Gu Yue Chi Lian's primeval essence, so the Chi Lian aura was mixed within the Chi Cheng gap. If Chi Cheng did not clean it up, then his future prospects would be threatened.
“Chi Lian will definitely buy this Gu worm for Chi Cheng. Hmm, let me think about... The quote should be between six hundred and thirty to six hundred and forty.”.
This price is much higher than the market value of the Liquor worm. The main reason was because Chi Cheng specifically needed this Gu worm.
“If I quote six hundred and fifty, it will give me this Gu Water Purifier. Just by adding ten primordial stones, this Cleansing Water Gu will definitely fall into my hands! As for the Liquor worm I bought this morning, my quote should be about twenty primeval stones higher than that of Gu Yue Yao Ji. Fang Yuan coldly smiled inwardly.
He has this confidence.
His five hundred years of experience and advanced business knowledge from Earth have combined to form this confidence. That was amazing.
With the experience of his previous life, when he had only put in ten more primeval stones, he had an eighty percent guarantee of obtaining items. When he bought the Liquor worm, the reason why he put in ten more ancient stones was due to its cautious nature.
Fang Yuan didn't make a quote, he didn't need Gu Water Purifier. And if he got it, then it would be investigated by Chi Lian. Of course, the main reason Fang Yuan didn't bid was because he needed to hold the rest of the money to see if there were any good Gu worms in the coming days.
“I lack two kinds of Gu worms; scouting type and movement type. Waves of wolves will come in the coming year, and the caravan will not come again. Although there was a hidden legacy of the Flower Wine Monk, it was hurriedly left behind by the Flower Wine Monk after he was injured. Who said whether it was complete or not and what worm Gu would happen next? ”
In his memory, next year's wolf tide would be extremely dangerous. Fang Yuan did not want to be helpless just because he lacked Gu worms, was injured or even perished in the wolf tide.
It would be a disaster for him right now if he was surrounded by a pack of wolves.
Before that happened, he needed to make sufficient preparations; both cultivation and Gu worms should be no less.
After this, he repeatedly went to the tree house for three days.
On the third day, on the first floor of the tree house, he found something that made him happy — Gu Black Pig!
Gu Black and White Boar are Gu worms that can increase the basic strength of Gu Masters. Fang Yuan had used White Boar Gu and received strength equivalent to a boar. If he were to use the White Pig Gu again, he would not receive an increase in strength. But Black Boar Gu was different, his ability could be overlaid with White Boar Gu.
Therefore, during the day, there was one more Gu worm in his possession.
After that, there was nothing.
Several scout Gu worms and movement types appeared on the counter but they were unable to satisfy Fang Yuan.
This Gu worm was on display at an ordinary counter and the price was not good, so not many were willing to buy it. Fang Yuan heard the caravan was going to stay for eight days, so he patiently waited without becoming anxious.
It was the seventh day.
On the second floor of the tree house, Fang Yuan found the red steel Relic Gu.
It could instantly increase the primordial essence of a Rank two Gu Master by a small world!
The price was marked with three thousand ancient stones, attracting many second-rate Master Gu to bid on it, dropping papers on the counter; it was a very lively sight.
“If I get this red steel Relic Gu, I can push my cultivation to the middle stage instantly. With the primordial essence of mid-level scarlet, I will be able to use Moonglow Gu and White Jade Gu many times.”
Cultivation is the foundation of Master Gu, cultivation improvement means increased fighting strength. In terms of its effects, it was much better than getting scouting and movement Gu worm.
Moreover, the two types of Gu worms in this tree house were all ordinary to Fang Yuan, with nothing attracting his attention.
“I have bought Liquor worm and Black Boar Gu, I also bought some wine. The final price of this red steel Relic Gu would definitely pass through five thousand ancient stones and could even reach eight thousand. After all, everyone knew about the wolf tide, so increasing one's cultivation by a small realm would help a lot. My ancient stone will not be enough if I want to obtain this Relic Gu!
Fang Yuan instantly realized that an obstacle had appeared in front of him.
