Start By Creating Your Own Water Bear Gu

Chapter 6 Li Laodao

More than a month later, Long Xuan returned to this market again, but this time he was no longer a buyer, but became a glorious stall owner.

Long Xuan covered his face and wore a big hat. He spread a white cloth anywhere and placed nine insect jars containing small powerful poisons on it.

 He put a homemade folding chair next to him and sat on it.

 After that, he began to think about the pricing of Little Strong Gu. It is worth mentioning that this world can be said to have currency, or it can be said to have no currency.

 Because spirit stones can only be used to exchange for cheap supplies. Expensive things cannot be exchanged for spirit stones and can only be obtained through barter.

 Strictly speaking, spirit stones are not the universal currency of this world.

 Because the spiritual stones must have irregular shapes, some are large and some are small, and the concentration of spiritual power is also different.

Is it okay if someone absorbs half of the spiritual energy and then spends it? Since there are differences in spiritual stones, it is even less likely to become currency.

 Spiritual stones are just equivalents in this world. Trading with spiritual stones is equivalent to bartering instead of buying with money. Therefore, spiritual stones cannot be exchanged for something priceless.

 Also because of the non-uniformity of spirit stones, the prices of various materials are negotiated with each other rather than unified prices in one place.

 The price can only be set within a general range, and stall owners have a high degree of freedom.

However, Long Xuan considered that the birth of a new thing should first open the market, and the price should not be too high.

So Long Xuan thought about it and decided to temporarily set the price of this small powerful Gu, which could be priced at will, at three hundred spirit stones. He planned to raise the price after word-of-mouth fermentation.

Of course, the quality of the spiritual stone must be decent. It cannot be the kind where the spiritual power is about to be absorbed, nor can it be too small and only the size of a little finger.

 The first time he set up a stall, there were a few things on the stall and it looked a bit shabby, but as time goes by, the things on his stall will be rich sooner or later.

 After that, he put the sign with the effect and price of the little strong poison on the stall, waiting for the first buyer to arrive, and waiting for the willing person to take the bait.

 Being a stall owner for the first time still felt very strange to him.

His arrival immediately attracted the attention of the other stall owners. The stall owner sitting immediately to his right was an energetic old man. After seeing the things placed on his stall, he said:

 "A low-grade Gu worm? Gu worms are more expensive than essence. The weakest, low-grade Gu worms are not popular."

“What’s more, what you are practicing is not the Five Poisons, but a very unpopular cockroach, so even fewer people are willing to trade.”

“There are many casual cultivators in this market who sell middle-grade Gu Insects. There are even three casual cultivators who sell high-grade Gu Insects, and they are all unique Gu Insects.”

“There are people selling low-grade unique Gu insects everywhere. Your products are not competitive at all.”

"It doesn't matter! The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. As long as there is one trader, I can open up sales." Long Xuan said very confidently.

  He is very confident in the Gu insect he has researched.

Li Laodao didn't take it seriously. He really didn't believe that such a young kid could study such a powerful Gu insect.

　　Although the effect of the poison was written on the brand, he only thought it was an exaggeration.

How could a low-grade Gu insect have such a strong ability to withstand strikes? It is impossible for such a powerful ability to appear in a low-grade Gu insect.

However, just when he was about to reply, Long Xuan's first customer walked up to his stall, and Li Laodao wisely shut his mouth.

Li Erniu picked up one of the poison jars, opened it and looked at the poisonous insects inside, and then looked at the handwritten sign on the stall, showing surprise.

He has never seen this kind of poisonous insect before. It must be a newly researched new species.

The emergence of new Gu always arouses the curiosity of others. The newly created Gu may be very strong or weak, or it may have some weird abilities. But the new Gu has not been tested in actual combat, and no combat methods have been developed. No one knows which Gu insects are most suitable to match.

 Hence, few people are willing to be the first to try something new.

 But the benefits are not without it. No one will understand a new species of Gu that has just come out, let alone know how to restrain it.

 Danger often comes from the unknown. Having a Gu insect that the enemy has never seen before can often lead to victory by surprise.

He is going to fight a sworn enemy in a one-on-one duel. The person who knows you best is always your enemy. The sworn enemy knows all his trump cards, so it may be a good choice to have a Gu insect that the opponent will never understand.

Li Erniu looked interested, looked at Long Xuan and asked, "Your little powerful Gu can make people immortal, but is it true?"

"No? I never said that." Long Xuan quickly waved his hand to deny it.

"I have written it very clearly. You will not be killed by just regular strikes at the same level. After all, you are a low-grade Gu insect. There are too many ways to kill you at the same level."

"For example, if your heart is pierced by a sword, you will not die as long as there is a small strong Gu. But if your heart is cut into pieces, how can you not die?"

“The little powerful Gu is not so powerful that it can restore your heart instantly.”

“But as long as you continue to increase the growth rate of the little strong Gu, the limit of damage it can withstand will become higher and higher.”

“The biggest advantage of Xiao Qiang Gu is that it eats everything, including paper, leather, cotton wool, sawdust...it can eat them all. You don’t have to worry about its food at all.”

Hearing this, Li Erniu's eyes lit up. This is really a very practical advantage.

Voodoos are very precious things, and they eat all kinds of strange things. Some of them even specialize in expensive things like gold, spiritual stones, and elixirs, and can often eat up a wealthy Gu cultivator.

 Not being picky about food is definitely a plus.

"That's not bad. After all, it's just a low-grade Gu insect. If you really said that it would give people absolute unkillable power, then I wouldn't believe it."

“I’ve replaced this little powerful Gu with three middle-grade spiritual stones. Please keep them.”

Li Erniu threw three medium-grade spiritual stones of good quality on the stall and left without saying a word with the Gu jar in his hand.

One middle-grade spiritual stone is worth a hundred low-grade spiritual stones. Long Xuan’s storage bag does not have much space, and he prefers to receive medium-grade spiritual stones.

The opening was successful. Long Xuan happily put away the three middle-grade spiritual stones and shouted casually: "Don't miss it when you pass by. Come and take a look at the good little strong Gu. You can't buy it and you will suffer a loss and you can't be fooled..."

Seeing that no one came over for a long time, Long Xuan turned his head and looked at the old stall owner who had just spoken to him, intending to try selling it to his colleagues.

"Old man, you must have seen the effect of my little strong Gu. You must have bad legs and feet because you are old. Trading my little strong Gu can be a good insurance."

"Meeting is fate. Since you are my neighbor, I will sell you at a cheap price and I will charge you 299 spiritual stones."

Li Laodao suddenly blew his beard and glared: "You little brat, you actually deceived me."

“I don’t believe that your little powerful Gu really has this ability. Although it will not make the host immortal in the true sense, its ability is still a bit scary.”

“Do you know how terrifying the actual combat effect of this ability is? You can exchange injuries with your opponent during a fight, and it is no exaggeration to say that your combat effectiveness is doubled out of thin air.”

"This is not an ability that a low-grade Gu insect can possess. If your little powerful Gu really has this ability, I would rather choose your little powerful Gu in front of a mid-grade Gu insect."
