Chapter 534 Trading
Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"The person who made the elixir won't be back for a while. I don't have many elixirs, so I can only sell spiritual herbs..."

Sun Luan was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Does Brother Gu want to sell spiritual herbs?"

The Taoist Qiu Siqing heard this and said,

"I don't know what kind of spiritual herbs Fellow Daoist Gu has. If it's of high value, Fellow Daoist Gu might as well go to the special testing place set up by the conference. There are five high-level monks who specialize in the appraisal of various magical instruments and spiritual herbs. If it's of high quality, you can sell it at the auction. Although the conference will charge a certain fee, it's fair and just!"

Gu Shiyi immediately became interested after hearing this.

"Oh... So there is such a place?"

Han Yungu also asked,

"Has the conference set up such a place? I haven't heard of it."

Qiu Siqing laughed and said,
"This conference was originally just for our cultivators. We didn't need it. However, the witch of the barbarian tribe wanted to join for some reason. Two days ago, he sent an envoy to inform us. The seniors of the alliance thought that the barbarians and our human cultivators rarely interacted with each other. The treasures in our hands and the animal bones and skins in their hands were rarely seen by both sides. We didn't know the value of the items, and we couldn't speak the language. We were afraid that misunderstandings would arise and cause trouble. So we temporarily invited several knowledgeable seniors to set up this inspection and testing place to assess the value of various treasures for both sides..."

Everyone listened to his detailed account and asked him where he got the information from. Qiu Siqing smiled and said,

"One of my senior brothers is among them..."

Everyone suddenly realized,

"I see……"

Qiu Siqing was very enthusiastic to take Gu Shiyi there, and Gu Shiyi thought to himself,

"This is considered a free treasure appraisal. It would be a shame if you don't go!"

So she nodded in agreement. Han Yungu wanted to follow Gu Shiyi, but she saw a handsome man coming from afar. Han Yungu's face changed and she bowed to everyone.

"Sorry everyone, I'll go first!"

The people here had known her for many years and knew vaguely about her affairs. Seeing this, Guan Changqing and Sun Luan looked at each other, walked up to the person and pretended to meet him by chance and greeted him. Han Yungu turned and left, and Leng Xuan followed her and disappeared into the crowd.

Gu Shiyi followed Qiu Siqing towards the five makeshift tents in the center of the square. Qiu Siqing turned around and saw Chen Huainan being stopped by the Guan couple. He frowned and turned to Gu Shiyi and said,

"Friend Han and I have known each other since we were young because of our master-disciple relationship. I also know Chen Huainan. If Friend Han hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to speak up for her and have a fight with that Chen!"

Although he was very angry in his words, Gu Shiyi smiled slightly and said,

"What's the point of arguing with him now? Only he knows whether the shoes fit him or not. Even if we beat up Chen and his wife, we don't know what will happen if they lock the door. Why force them together? It's better to let them go as soon as possible and go their separate ways in the future so that they can have peace and quiet!"

There is no point wasting time talking to this kind of stinky man. If you can beat him, just beat him up. If you can't, just turn around and leave. You can beat him again when you have the strength to do so. Out of sight, out of mind. Why bother with him? It will delay your ascension!
Qiu Siqing sighed after hearing this.

"It is precisely because of this that we friends did not intervene in this matter. However, I could not suppress my anger when I saw this kid. Brother Guan is more restrained than me, so it would be better for him to handle it!"

As they talked, they walked to the test site. As expected, they saw that in front of the five tents on the field, the monks lined up in five teams and filed in one after another. Qiu Siqing wanted to take Gu Shiyi to cut in line, but Gu Shiyi refused and insisted on lining up at the back. Qiu Siqing then said to her,
"The third tent is where my uncle Zhong is. I'll go there first to help you..."

Gu Shiyi bowed to him and thanked him. He stood in line at the back of the team and waited for about half an hour. When he arrived in front of the tent, he heard someone shouting in a deep voice,
"come in!"

Gu Shiyi stepped in and saw that there was only a long table in the tent. Behind the table sat an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face. Gu Shiyi could tell from his aura and appearance that he was an expert among experts without even using his demon recognition. The old Taoist priest smiled slightly when he saw Gu Shiyi.
Gu Shiyi hurried forward and bowed respectfully.
"Senior, I am honored to be here!"

The old Taoist waved his hand.

"sit down!"

Gu Shiyi sat down opposite him as he was told. The old Taoist stroked his beard and asked,
"I wonder what kind of treasure you are planning to identify?"

The old Taoist priest was not sure whether it was because someone got in through the back door or he was just so amiable and amiable. He did not have the airs of a high-ranking monk at all. Gu Shiyi hurriedly took out his three spiritual herbs.
"I would like to ask the senior to use his wisdom to identify this for me..."

The old Taoist nodded, raised his hand, and pointed at the three spiritual herbs one by one. When the light from his finger touched the spiritual herbs, a layer of green light immediately appeared on the surface of the spiritual herbs. The green light was so dazzling that it made the old Taoist's face turn green.

"Well... OK, OK... 1,800-year-old spiritual herbs, the spiritual energy is very pure. I haven't seen such pure spiritual herbs for many years. Although the growth period of these three spiritual herbs is not the longest that I have ever seen, they have the purest spiritual energy. One of them costs at least 80,000 spiritual stones. Do you plan to sell them yourself or at an auction?"

"This one……"

Gu Shiyi was a little hesitant, and the old Taoist priest kindly explained,
"Of course the price at the auction is higher, but the organizer will charge a certain fee, so there is no risk. If it is sold privately, it will be more risky. Of course... if you meet a generous buyer, the price may be higher than this number!"

If you do business privately and encounter someone with bad intentions, you may be ambushed and killed secretly after the meeting.
Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"I plan to sell it privately..."

The old Taoist priest was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. After thinking for a while, he asked,
"Among these three spiritual herbs, there is one that I have some use for. It is a good friend of Senior Brother Siqing. How about I add 20,000 spiritual stones to buy one from you?"

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"Since you said it was 80,000 spirit stones, then it is 80,000 spirit stones. I haven't thanked you for your advice, so how dare I ask for more spirit stones?" The old Taoist raised his long and thick white eyebrows, took a close look at Gu Shiyi, smiled and nodded.

"Okay, okay, my friend, you are well-versed in the world and will achieve great things in the future!"

"Senior is so complimentary!"

When Gu Shiyi came out of the tent again, he had 80,000 more spirit stones on him and one less spirit herb. He was secretly calculating in his mind,

"I wonder if after selling these three spiritual herbs, I can buy a good magic array and upgrade my hatchet to a higher level?"

Nowadays, the prices on the mainland are getting higher and higher. If Yan'er were around, they could just refine a pill and exchange it with a weapon refiner and make a profit. But now she can only sell the spiritual herbs one by one and then use spirit stones to hire someone to refine a weapon. This is actually very uneconomical.

Gu Shiyi calculated the accounts and felt secretly distressed, but there was nothing he could do. He went to where the stalls selling elixirs were gathered. Where there were many elixirs, there were naturally many alchemists and people who knew the goods. He believed that there would be people willing to pay a high price to buy spiritual herbs.

Gu Shiyi searched for a long time in the crowd and chose an old woman. The old woman had a head full of white hair, but her face was as smooth as a baby's, without a single wrinkle. She stood hunched in front of her stall, with medicine bottles all over the floor in front of her. Although Gu Shiyi did not make pills, she had followed Pu Yanlan for a long time and had some eyesight.

There were pills all over the place. Just by looking at the materials of the bottles, Gu Shiyi could tell that this person was a very powerful alchemist. Gu Shiyi squeezed through the crowd and came up to the old woman, but she didn't buy any pills. She just squatted aside with her hands folded and watched. The old woman ignored her and went about her business. Seeing that customers came in waves, Gu Shiyi watched eagerly. Although she didn't do anything, she felt uneasy. The old woman finally couldn't help but speak.

"What kind of elixir do you want to buy, fellow Taoist?"

Gu Shiyi finally got the chance and spoke.

"I don't buy elixirs, I sell spiritual herbs..."

The old woman raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
"Why are you selling spiritual herbs here? Can't you find a place to set up your stall?"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"No one else can enjoy my spiritual herbs. Only high-level alchemists like you can use them..."

The old woman snorted coldly after hearing this.

"Hmph... If you speak so well, then take it out and let me see it. If I don't like it, you need to buy two bottles of pills before you can leave!"

Gu Shiyi chuckled, stood up, and moved forward to spread out his wide sleeves, revealing the spiritual herbs hidden inside. The old woman's eyes lit up when she saw it.
"You actually have some good stuff?"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"Of course. If I don't have any good stuff, how dare I show myself in front of you, Senior?"

The old woman snorted and said,

"Tell me, how many spirit stones do you want?"

Gu Shi said,
"One hundred thousand spiritual stones..."

The old woman frowned.
"You are so brave to ask, sixty thousand spirit stones..."

She immediately offered a price, and Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"Senior, you don't know how to bully the younger generation. To be honest, I just sold a plant and got 100,000 spirit stones..."

The old woman snorted,

"Which fool is willing to spend 100,000 spirit stones?"

Gu Shiyi responded,

"Senior Zhong in the tent over there..."

"Oh……"

The old woman's eyes fixed.
"Is it really that old Niu Bi?"

"I dare not lie using Senior Zhong's name!"

The old woman snorted and said,

"Even if he has the wisdom to verify it, I can only offer 90,000 spirit stones at most!"

Gu Shiyi clicked his tongue and reluctantly said,

"Forget it. If Senior and Senior Zhong are acquainted, then I will reluctantly give up!"

The old woman stretched out her hand to her, and the two touched hands, one hand handed over the money and the other handed over the goods, completing the transaction within the wide sleeves of the robe. Gu Shiyi smiled and bowed to the old woman and said goodbye. He wanted to go to another place, to the place where weapons were sold, to see if there might be someone who knew the goods. He also wanted to inquire about the weapon refiner.
