Chapter 78 Conflict
She stretched out her hand to summon a disciple next to her and asked. The disciple bowed and replied: “These are those who owe our store’s spirit stones for some reason, but still can’t pay them back. They can only use things to pay off their debts. Every once in a while, our store will take out these backlogs of inventory to clear up. Some monks will also pledge their items to be sold here, and the store will charge a corresponding fee.”
Gu Yan made an “oh” sound, it is estimated that these things will also be screened before they are taken out. The ones that are really valuable will naturally be sold at high prices in the store, and those that can be thrown here are probably useless materials. Gu Yan smiled, as a loose cultivator, being able to scour the waste is also a must-have skill.
She walked over slowly and looked at it casually.
Sure enough, there is nothing useful, nothing more than some black iron, Taibai fine gold and the like. Putting it in the mortal world may make those people in the world break their heads, but for an immortal cultivator, it is really just a dispensable taste.
Those things were just thrown on the ground at will, and it seemed that the disciples of the deacon did not pay much attention to it. Gu Yan lowered his head and picked it up. She didn’t know much about refining, but just wanted to see if there would be Purple Flame Crystal here. Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by something.
That thing is only about half the size of the palm of your hand. Looking down from the top, it is in the shape of a gourd that is wide at both ends and thin in the middle. There are four small bases supporting it, like a base for something. The whole body is dark, and the whole material is like gold but not gold, like jade but not jade. Gu Yan touched it with her hand, only to feel cold all over her body.
She is the attribute of Fire Spirit Root. She is naturally a little repulsive of cold things. She touches it and puts it down, but she feels a little burning sensation in her fingertips. She suddenly feels that the Fire Spirit in her body is eager to try, as if it is about to jump out. of. That seemed to be an excitement.
She picked up this thing again and looked at it carefully, feeling the chills through her fingertips, and there seemed to be a faint sense of restlessness behind the cold feeling. Really weird stuff!
She stood up, took this thing in her hand, reached out to the deacon disciple beside her, and said, “What is this thing called, is it possible to sell it?”
The disciple was standing in this place, and he was a little lazy at first. Seeing that Gu Yan was picking up such an inconspicuous thing, he seemed to be weak when speaking. He took a booklet, flipped it a few times, and said: ” This is a cultivator who has returned from the extreme arctic ice and pledged it here. I heard that he got it from a crypt. As for the name, I don’t know. He only needs five spirit stones. In addition, the shop will charge one spirit stone for sale. cost.”
Gu Yan hesitated for a while, but still took out six spirit stones, put them in the disciple’s hands, and said, “I want this thing!” Then she took out her jade talisman.
The disciple was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face, and said: “Please wait a moment, Immortal Master, I will come after I hand over the spirit stone.” He just turned around to leave, when a voice came from a distance, “Wait !”
Gu Yan turned his head and saw Du Liangheng walking quickly not far away. His eyes were fixed on the thing in Gu Yan’s hand, and he said in a deep voice, “You can’t take this thing away!”
Gu Yan’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said lightly, “What advice does Master Du Xuan have?”
Du Liangheng grabbed the disciple’s wrist and said solemnly, “I can buy this thing at a high price!”
The disciple looked at him with some embarrassment, “Master Du Xuan, this Immortal Master has already paid for the spirit stone…”
Du Liangheng interrupted him, “I’ll give you fifty spirit stones!” The disciple was stunned when he heard it. Someone is willing to give fifty spirit stones for such an inconspicuous thing. Originally, the price of five spiritual stones has been left here for a few months. He turned his attention to Gu Yan, “Fairy Goddess…”
What he meant was that he wanted Gu Yan to give up things. After all, Du Liangheng, as the master of refining in the city, no matter his wealth or cultivation, he is not comparable to an outside qi refining cultivator.
But Gu Yan was just playing with the things in his hands, and he didn’t seem to see any signs of his eyes at all, he just said calmly: “I’ve traveled overseas for many years, and this is the first time I’ve seen it, and the things that have been sold can still be returned. Is this your shop’s rule?”
The disciple looked at the two people, a little embarrassed. In the end, he still said: “Master Du Xuan, Duobao Pavilion also has its own rules. I’m just a disciple, and I can’t act arrogantly. Why don’t you two discuss it yourself?”
Du Liangheng’s face was a little unpleasant, he looked at Gu Yan, “Gu Daoyou, it’s useless if you come here, why don’t you just pass it to me, fifty spirit stones are yours!”
Gu Yan played with this thing for a while, and felt a strange coolness rising from the surface, which seemed to form a neutral state with the fire spirit in her body. She faintly felt that what appeared on this thing was an aura that had been left for many years and still lingered, and this aura made her feel very close. She has made up her mind and will never give this thing to Du Liangheng!
Hearing Du Liangheng speak at this time, she responded: “Master Du Xuan, I like this thing very much, I’m afraid I can’t give it up.”
At this time, several disciples behind Du Liangheng also arrived, all standing behind him, glaring at Gu Yan. Du Liangheng suppressed his anger and said, “Gu Daoyou, how about I present a top-grade spiritual tool produced by our shop?”
A high-grade spiritual tool is worth at least dozens or hundreds of spiritual stones. As a loose cultivator, many people may not be able to obtain a high-grade spiritual tool in their lifetime. Du Liangheng thought to himself, this condition is very generous, and he is very sure that Gu Yan can agree.
Gu Yan’s eyebrows raised, she was a little surprised, what exactly is this thing, so that Du Liangheng should get it at such a cost. She pondered and said: “Master Du Xuan’s kindness is like this… I have received it. As for things, I am afraid I can only thank and be insensitive.”
Du Liangheng’s face turned blue all of a sudden, and he said in a deep voice, “You have to think about it!” A disciple behind him also stood up, and said with a somber face, “This fellow Daoist, my master is in the city. It’s a famous monk, you can think about it clearly, don’t regret it!”
Gu Yan said indifferently: “I’m talking to Lord Du Xuan, do you have any opportunity for a disciple to interject?” She pushed him back in one sentence, then took the jade talisman from the approaching deacon disciple and said, “If there is nothing else. , I will say goodbye.” After he finished speaking, he put the things in the magic bag, turned around and left.
Du Liangheng looked at her distant back, lowered his voice and said, “Send someone to follow her, find out her residence, and come back and report to me!”
