Chapter 486
: The Monkey King Long Xuan
After saying that, Long Xuan looked at the group of Gu Kings below with a smile. He didn't believe that these people would not take the bait.
This is an open conspiracy. Who wouldn't be interested in a mysterious ancient tomb? This is not the previous life. The ancient tombs here can be robbed at will.
As soon as Long Xuan finished speaking, there was indeed a flurry of discussion below. When faced with the news about the ancient tomb, everyone showed an expression of great interest, and some even had fiery gazes and a greedy look.
This transaction method is quite peculiar. No one has ever sold the hidden location of an ancient tomb before.
It is unknown what treasures are in the ancient tomb. It is possible that there are priceless treasures, or it may be a poor tomb where many people died and the treasures found are far from enough to make up for the losses.
For them, this is like opening a blind box. If they win, they will become rich overnight, and if they lose, they will suffer heavy losses. Many adventurous Gu Kings just like this kind of blind box opening game.
After a brief discussion, Qian Changjiang was the first to speak: "Haha, this is the first time I've seen someone bidding for the location of an ancient tomb at a trade fair. It's really interesting."
"In the past, no one sold the hidden locations of certain treasures because it was difficult to tell whether they were real or fake, and you couldn't go there in person."
"But today I am here, and my Integrity Gu can fully confirm the authenticity of the news. I can prove to this young friend that what he just said is absolutely true."
As soon as Li Changjiang finished speaking, everyone immediately turned their eyes to the Integrity Gu on his shoulder. Seeing that its eyes were not glowing, they no longer had any doubts about the news about the ancient tomb.
Since Long Xuan did not mention the reserve price, but only said that the highest bidder wins, many people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, so most of the Gu Kings in the field communicated with each other through their souls and quoted their own prices.
All of a sudden, the voices of hundreds of people flooded into Long Xuan's mind, almost making his head explode.
Fortunately, he had many souls, so he could talk to many people at the same time without any pressure, and he responded to all the voices easily.
"My friend! I am willing to pay thirty Broken King Pills. How about selling me the address of the ancient tomb?"
The one who transmitted the soul message was an old man. Long Xuan knew his identity. He was the head of the Jiang family, one of the eight major clans in Xuanyuan City.
As one of the eight major families in a super imperial city, one can imagine how powerful the Jiang family is.
The head of the Jiang family was also generous. In order to get the address of the ancient tomb, he actually took out thirty Po Wang Dan in one breath, which really scared him.
He knew very well that although the King-Breaking Pill was nothing to him, it was priceless in the outside world, not to mention thirty pills. The price offered by the head of the Jiang family was not low.
Long Xuan pretended to be conflicted, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded: "Okay, thirty Broken King Pills."
"But if I make a deal with you in public, everyone will know that you have found the hidden address of the ancient tomb, and then all the families will send people to keep a close eye on the Jiang family."
"As long as you go to dig up the ancient tomb, its location will be exposed, and all the families will definitely come over to get a piece of the pie. Your thirty broken king pills will be paid in vain."
"How about you pretend that the transaction has failed, and we go outside to conduct the transaction secretly? This way, no one will suspect that you, the Jiang family, have obtained the address of the ancient tomb." Long Xuan kindly reminded.
Hearing this, the head of the Jiang family suddenly realized something and smiled, saying through his soul transmission, "You are thoughtful. That's right, I bought the information with real money, how can I give it away for free? I will do as you say."
As soon as the head of the Jiang family finished speaking, he sighed in public, as if the deal had failed, and his expression was extremely disappointed.
At the same time, Long Xuan also contacted the head of the Han family, one of the eight major clans in Xuanyuan City.
"My friend, I, the Han family, am willing to offer five top-grade exotic Gu. I wonder if their value is the highest in the venue?"
"It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that this ancient tomb is unknown. No one knows whether it's rich or poor."
"It is also full of dangers. It is possible that my Han clan Gu cultivators will suffer heavy losses but gain nothing."
"Four top-grade exotic poisons are the highest price my Han family can offer." The Han family's patriarch looked at Long Xuan nervously and asked. It was obvious that he was very interested in this ancient tomb and planned to try his luck by paying a high price.
Hearing this, Long Xuan was shocked. Wow! Someone actually wanted to trade five top-grade exotic insects for the hidden location of his ancient tomb. This was really a big deal.
Although all of his poisonous insects were self-created and he looked down on the poisonous insects outside, he could still sell the top-quality poisonous insects even if he didn't need them himself.
No matter where the top-quality exotic Gu is taken, it can be sold at a sky-high price.
At this time, Long Xuan showed a tangled expression. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "To be honest, your five top-grade exotic Gu are not the most valuable in the venue, but who made me lack top-grade exotic Gu?"
"I want these five top-grade exotic Gu, but I suggest that we don't trade them on the spot, otherwise everyone will know that you got the address of the ancient tomb and will have to track you down."
"If your Han family is exposed while digging the ancient tomb, it will only benefit others for nothing, and these five top-grade exotic poisons will be wasted." "How about you pretend to be disappointed and claim that the transaction was not successful, and then we go outside to trade?" Long Xuan reminded kindly.
"Good idea. I, Han, spent a lot of money to buy the information. How can I let others get it for free? I will do as you say."
The head of the Han family's eyes lit up, but he quickly pretended to be disappointed, sat in his original seat and sighed heavily.
At the same time, the various souls of Long Xuan had completed transactions with the heads of the other eight clans and used exactly the same rhetoric. The other heads of the clans also sighed heavily at this time, looking extremely disappointed.
Long Xuan laughed secretly in his heart. He never said from the beginning to the end that he would only trade with one person. They misunderstood him. What a big bunch of leeks.
He just deliberately said that he wanted to trade with them outside, but he was not thinking about them. Once he traded with someone in public, how could the others take the bait?
Although it was a bit shameless to do so, and it might piss off a lot of people, his face was fake, and who would know who he was after he went out? He wasn't afraid of offending too many people here.
Of course, Long Xuan was not greedy enough to reap everyone's wealth. He only cheated the few major forces with the most wealth, and he directly rejected most people.
The price offered by this group of poor people is really too low. If they really succeed in the bid, they themselves probably won’t believe it, and then they will be exposed.
At this time, everyone in the audience focused their attention on the heads of the eight major clans in Xuanyuan City, secretly guessing which family had obtained the address of the ancient tomb.
The ancient tombs of the strong are all buried deep and grand, and the excavation work requires huge manpower and material resources. It is inconvenient for outsiders to dig tombs in the Xuanyuan Empire, and only the strongest forces in the Xuanyuan Empire will spend a lot of money to purchase the address of the ancient tomb.
Therefore, everyone speculated that these eight family heads were the most likely to win the bid.
However, seeing that the eight family heads all showed extremely disappointed expressions and shook their heads dejectedly, everyone was puzzled again. Could it not be them? If not them, who else could it be?
Everyone subconsciously focused their eyes on Qian Changjiang, and they understood what was going on.
Who is the richest person here? There is no doubt that it must be the Duobao merchant, and his expression has not changed at all. The person who bought the address of the ancient tomb should be him.
If Qian Changjiang could hear their voices at this moment, he would definitely cry out that they were wronged.
He had no interest in this ancient tomb at all, and did not use soul communication to participate in the bidding.
As a treasure merchant, he only needs to keep trading with others to obtain a huge amount of treasures safely. Why would he need to take risks in the ancient tombs?
The dangerous situation in the ancient tomb is unknown. Even if there are many treasures in the tomb, he does not want to risk his life. The richer people are, the more they value their lives.
Long Xuan only wanted to trade for information about the ancient tomb, and then he stepped down. After he stepped down, an old woman immediately took over and placed a bunch of bottles and jars on the table...
Long Xuan sat back in his original position, and Di Xin immediately asked through soul transmission: "Who did you sell the information about the ancient tomb to? Why do you all look so disappointed?"
"Hehe! The heads of the eight major families in Xuanyuan City and some wealthy people all know the hidden location of the ancient tomb." Long Xuan laughed sinisterly.
Emperor Xin's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at him in disbelief.
"You are really damaged!"
……
The trade fair was over in a flash. After Long Xuan used his various clones to quickly complete the transaction with the group of suckers, he immediately changed back to his original appearance and stayed in an inn with Di Xin.
Emperor Xin was recuperating in a single room, while he hid in the space inside the Heaven-Swallowing World Toad, studying the ternary heavy water he had just obtained from the trade fair.
After studying for a long time, he finally decided not to touch the ternary heavy water for the time being. According to his estimation, with his current realm, the success rate of swallowing the ternary heavy water was infinitely close to zero.
Monobasic heavy water is much weaker than dibasic heavy water, and dibasic heavy water is much weaker than ternary heavy water.
Even a strong man like Shui Wuqing would have to bear the danger of backlash from time to time when swallowing binary heavy water, so one can imagine how difficult it would be for him to swallow ternary heavy water.
He did not forget that Qian Changjiang took the Triple Heavy Water out of his storage ring, not out of his body.
In other words, the Sanyuan heavy water was ownerless and had not been swallowed by Qian Changjiang before.
Even Qian Changjiang, one of the top ten strongest people in the Gu world, couldn't swallow the Triple Element Heavy Water. How could he, a mere Linghai stage Gu cultivator, dare to think about taking the Triple Element Heavy Water?
He could only seal the Triple Element Heavy Water into the stomach of the Heaven-Devouring World Toad, and wait until he was strong enough before planning to swallow the Triple Element Heavy Water.
The appearance of the Three Element Heavy Water, a treasure that defies the heavens, contained considerable treasure energy. After the Heaven-Swallowing World Toad absorbed the treasure energy of the Three Element Heavy Water, the space and volume in its body increased sharply again. Long Xuan smiled slightly.
