Chapter 372
Self-made Golden Hoop
"I wonder if you still have any top-grade spiritual fire?" Seeing that the top-grade spiritual fire had been traded away, someone in the crowd asked unwillingly.
"No more. Given the rarity of top-grade spiritual fire, it's already rare for me to have two. How could there be more?"
"But I still have a lot of high-grade and medium-grade spiritual fires in my hands. You can consider it." Long Xuan said with a smile.
In fact, he still has a top-grade spiritual fire in his hand, but he is not going to use it for trading. Maybe he can use it in the alchemy competition.
Hearing this, the man showed disappointment and sat down again.
Next, the spiritual fires of various qualities on Long Xuan's table were quickly snapped up. As expected, the spiritual fires were easily sold when placed at the alchemist trade fair.
Long Xuan collected a large number of treasures, but the only regret for him was that the essence of the divine beast and the peerless wine were not found in this trade fair.
There are high-quality wines, but there are very few wines of high quality that can allow the wineworm to complete its transformation.
Fine wine is divided into four qualities: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and top-grade. The wine that can cause the wine Gu to transform must at least be top-grade wine, and it cannot be an ordinary top-grade wine.
Since the best wine could not be found here, he could only try his luck somewhere else.
However, when all the spiritual fire on the table was swept away, he still said with hope: "Since no one has the best wine, does anyone have any information about the best wine? I am willing to exchange it with the middle-grade spiritual fire."
As soon as this was said, many people became excited. It was undoubtedly a good deal to exchange a piece of information for a medium-grade spiritual fire. This was a rare opportunity, and soon someone raised his hand and said:
"I know the whereabouts of a very fine wine."
"One piece of information can be exchanged for a mid-grade spiritual fire. What you said is true!"
The person who spoke was a skinny old man, who was looking at him expectantly.
Long Xuan smiled and said, "There are so many third-grade alchemists supervising here, how can I break my promise?"
"I don't think you dare!" The skinny old man laughed and quickly told him the whereabouts of the fine wine through soul transmission.
However, Long Xuan's face darkened after hearing just a few words.
In order to avoid being cheated, there was always a small opening in the insect breeding bag on his waist during the transaction, and an integrity Gu was crawling inside.
At this time, the Integrity Gu was very angry and was about to crawl out of the insect breeding bag. Long Xuan hurriedly held down the insect breeding bag.
"Enough! You made up this news yourself. Do you really think I'm a fool?" Long Xuan looked at him with a dark face.
Hearing this, the skinny old man's face immediately changed, and a look of surprise and suspicion appeared in his eyes.
He really wanted to use a piece of false information to trick someone into getting a mid-grade spiritual fire, but he didn't expect that this person would see through it so easily. This was beyond his expectations. He is still wondering how his lie was seen through.
However, since it concerns his own reputation, how could he remain silent? So he immediately decided to bite back and shouted loudly:
"Great! You refused to admit the whereabouts of the top-grade wine after hearing about it. In order to save a mid-grade spiritual fire, you slandered my news as false. You are really calculating."
"I was wondering why you were willing to exchange a mid-grade spiritual fire for a piece of information. It turns out that you never intended to give the mid-grade spiritual fire away from the beginning! Don't be so shameless."
The skinny old man was furious, his eyes were red, and his fingers were shaking as he pointed at Long Xuan. His acting skills were simply superb.
Many alchemists were fooled by his excellent acting skills, and then looked at Long Xuan with suspicion, and really believed that he was slandering the old man's false news in order to shirk his debts.
Between the strong and the weak, people will subconsciously believe the weak, and between sellers and buyers, people will subconsciously believe the buyers. This is the case here.
Long Xuan was so angry that he laughed. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with suspicion, he knew that if he couldn't prove himself, no one would dare to trade with him next.
Originally, he didn't want to expose the Integrity Gu, but in this situation, he obviously had no choice but to expose it.
"This is really ridiculous. If I don't have the ability to judge the truth of the news, how dare I make such a deal?"
As he said that, Long Xuan opened the insect breeding bag, and the head of an Integrity Gu quickly crawled out of the bag, looking at the skinny old man with angry eyes.
Long Xuan quickly pressed the Integrity Gu back to prevent the others from seeing the whole scene, then turned to look at the skinny old man and sneered:
"What else do you have to say now? Are you still questioning whether the Qian's Chamber of Commerce's Integrity Gu can deceive people?"
As expected, all the alchemists withdrew their suspicious gazes at this time, and looked at the skinny old man with contempt.
The alchemists closest to him moved their chairs away, ashamed to be in his company.
The truth has now come to light: this skinny old man was trying to use fake news to cheat people out of their money.
Many alchemists began to feel scared. They were just planning to use fake news to cheat people out of their money, but this skinny old man got there first. They were also glad that he had stepped on a landmine before them, otherwise their reputation would have been ruined today.
Seeing the Integrity Gu, the skinny old man stood up instantly, his face turned livid, and he cursed in his heart, why didn't he tell me about the Integrity Gu earlier? If he had told me earlier? If he had taken out the Integrity Gu earlier, how could he have the guts to lie to me! He was really going to trick me today!"
The skinny old man's face turned pale and blue. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with contempt, his face became extremely ugly. He knew that his reputation would probably be ruined today.
He could no longer bear the gazes of the crowd, so he shook his sleeves and retreated in shame.
"I didn't expect him to do such a dirty thing. I misjudged him. Don't get me wrong. He and I are not close friends."
"Humph! I've long seen that there's something wrong with his character. He has done this countless times. I guess many people who bought his pills have been cheated by him."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. I misunderstood that young man. I am so ashamed."
The people in the room began to make sarcastic remarks, their words full of contempt for the skinny old man. This was just a small episode. Just as Long Xuan was about to leave, a female soul transmission came into his mind: "Master, take care. I happen to have information about a top-grade spiritual wine, but it's a bit difficult to obtain."
"Since you have the Integrity Gu, you can definitely tell whether my words are true or false."
Hearing this, Long Xuan stopped and looked vaguely at a beautiful third-grade alchemist in the corner.
"You can tell me whatever you want. I just need the news to be true. I'm not considering the difficulty of obtaining it or the danger for now." Long Xuan replied using soul transmission, looking forward to her next news.
"Okay! Then I'll tell you, I can tell you with certainty that in Wanhou Mountain, the group of monkeys made a lot of monkey wine."
"Among them is the rare Thousand-Year Monkey Wine, which even the Monkey King is reluctant to drink."
"Ten Thousand Year Monkey Wine is one of the best spirit wines. I heard that drinking it regularly can improve your wisdom. It definitely meets your requirements."
"But I must remind you that there are fourth-level spirit monkeys on Wanhou Mountain, and there are more than one. The Ten Thousand Year Monkey Wine is the treasure of those fourth-level spirit monkeys. It must be extremely difficult and dangerous to obtain. Otherwise, the Ten Thousand Year Monkey Wine would have been snatched away by humans long ago."
"If you want to get the Wannian Monkey Wine, you'd better think twice."
The beautiful alchemist kindly reminded through soul transmission.
Long Xuan probed his soul power into his insect breeding bag, and when he saw that the Integrity Gu had no reaction, he knew that the news was true, and he was immediately delighted.
It seems that after the alchemy competition is over, I will have to go to Wanhou Mountain again. Long Xuan made a secret decision in his heart.
"Very good, my Integrity Gu tells me that your news is true, I will give you the middle-grade Spirit Fire."
Long Xuan took out another medium-grade spiritual fire from the storage ring and threw it at the beautiful Gu cultivator.
The beautiful Gu cultivator took it with a smile, checked the spiritual fire in the bottle, and then happily put the spiritual fire into her storage bag.
Long Xuan walked down from the stage, and the third person to come up was the beautiful Gu cultivator.
The beautiful Gu cultivator walked to the table, took out a fragment of a recipe from her storage bag, and said with a smile: "This is a fourth-grade fragment of a recipe, the quality is top-grade, and the name happens to be in the missing part, so the name is unknown."
"But the graphic is enough to tell that this is a stick-type spiritual weapon."
"This weapon recipe has lost less than 10% of its content. A weapon recipe is easier to complete than a pill recipe. If this incomplete weapon recipe is handed over to an excellent weapon refiner, it can be successfully repaired."
"To prevent someone from memorizing the recipe, I only showed half of it."
"I want a third-grade pill recipe. If multiple people want to trade with me, the one with the higher-value pill recipe wins. Who wants to trade with me now?"
The beautiful alchemist looked down with anticipation.
However, she was destined to be disappointed. After she finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time, as if a flock of crows flew by, and the atmosphere on the scene was a little awkward.
She was a little embarrassed at this moment. She didn't expect that the first treasure she took out would fail to sell. It really made her feel embarrassed.
At this time, the Ninth Prince finally broke the silence with a smile and said, "You've come to the wrong place. I remember that you are an expert in both elixirs and weapons, right? But this is a trade fair for alchemists, and everyone here is an alchemist. Who would be interested in the things of weapon refiners?"
"And what you took out was a partial prescription. It's hard to tell whether a partial prescription is real or fake. Any random bunch of information written on a piece of paper can be considered a partial prescription."
"What's more, what you brought out is a recipe, which is beyond the scope of what all alchemists have learned. No one can tell whether it is real or fake. In this case, who would dare to trade with you?"
The alchemists below all nodded slightly. Although the recipe was useless to alchemists, a fourth-grade top-grade recipe was rare. If they took it to trade with a fourth-grade alchemist, they might be able to get something good in return.
What really made them hesitate was not that this was a recipe for an instrument, but that they really had no way of judging whether this incomplete recipe was genuine, so the scene was a little dull for a while.
Perhaps the only person who can judge whether this incomplete prescription is real or fake is Long Xuan.
When Long Xuan saw some progress on this incomplete prescription, he knew that it was real.
Originally, he was not interested in the weapon prescription, but when he saw that the stick drawn on the weapon prescription looked somewhat like the golden cudgel, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
At this moment, he suddenly had a brain-opening idea.
In this world, once a powerful spiritual weapon is born, it can also bring about a thunder disaster.
Then, can I research and develop the golden hoop from my previous life, and have it have the same incredible power that can be big or small, it can be as small as an embroidery needle, or as big as it can poke a hole in the sky, it can weigh up to ten thousand pounds, and anyone who gets hit by it will either die or be crippled.
Such a heaven-defying, top-grade spiritual weapon should be able to bring about a thunder disaster, right?
If the ninth thunder tribulation reincarnation thunder could be attracted, perhaps the tribulation Gu could devour the reincarnation thunder and complete its second transformation.
Although he uses a knife instead of a stick, I believe the Monkey King of Wanhou Mountain would like the golden cudgel very much.
How about pretending to be a fourth-rank weapon refiner and using the golden cudgel to trade with the Monkey King of Wanhou Mountain for the Ten Thousand Year Monkey Wine?
An open transaction is much safer than stealing. Besides, he has no ability to steal the thousand-year-old monkey wine from a group of fourth-level monkeys.
Using the golden cudgel to exchange for the ten thousand year old monkey wine might be a good choice, as it can transform not only the robbery Gu but also the wine Gu, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
As soon as this idea came to his mind, Long Xuan immediately planned to trade this incomplete weapon.
His self-created golden hoop stick recipe also needs to be used as a reference. The top-grade stick recipe in the hands of this beautiful alchemist will definitely be of great reference value. (End of this chapter)
