Chapter 226 The disciple was ultimately too young.
"Don't let me find out who you are."
Ye Lin hated Gu Qing with a passion that seethed through his teeth.
With Gu Qing causing such a commotion, it's uncertain whether Zhi Meng will continue to raise the price.
Ye Lin placed his hand on the array jade platform and said coldly, "What's your decision? If there's no news, then add another 100 billion immortal crystals."
"hehe."
Zhi Meng laughed in anger, her heart surging with murderous intent.
Since her debut, Ye Lin is the first person who has dared to treat Zhi Meng like a fat sheep.
"Really don't want it?"
They really can't stay in Heguang Immortal City.
If she were alone, even if she were to die, she would not let Ye Lin take advantage of her.
But with Gu Qing by her side, for Gu Qing's safety, she was willing to pay any price Ye Lin asked for, as long as she could buy it.
"No, someone will send us a better flying boat," Gu Qing transmitted meaningfully.
"You mean Liu Liangsheng already knows we're here at this trade fair and is going to make a move against us?" Zhi Meng asked thoughtfully.
"good."
"Liu Liangsheng's last words were actually meant for us."
“If we leave the city, he will definitely think we are guilty and not the successors of the Dan Sect.”
“If we stay in the city, he might give up, or he might continue to test us in other ways,” Gu Qing transmitted his voice.
After listening, Zhi Meng fell silent.
The so-called test was definitely to make a move on her first.
Therefore, they had no choice but to leave the city, no matter what.
So the question is, how can Gu Qing deal with Liu Liangsheng, who is at the peak of the Heavenly God Realm?
Use the Black Dragon of Calamity?
Although it is unknown how powerful Gu Qing's Calamity Black Dragon is, it can be called the source of evil. If it were sensed by a powerful being in the Immortal Realm, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After thinking it over, Zhi Meng transmitted her voice and said, "The Immortal Realm is different from the Lower Realm, especially since we haven't joined the Starry Sky Dao Sect yet. Let's avoid using the Calamity Black Dragon if possible."
Even if Gu Qing exposed the Calamity Black Dragon in the lower realm and slaughtered an entire realm, their Star God Temple could still cover it up.
However, in the Immortal Realm, Gu Qing's exposure would likely attract countless powerful beings to descend.
"I know."
Gu Qing nodded slightly; no one understood better than him how terrifying the Calamity Black Dragon was.
The fastest way to break through cultivation level is to curse the entire He Guang Immortal City, but if you do that, a powerful being will definitely descend.
Gu Qing was not so blindly confident as to be able to conceal the truth from powerful beings in the immortal realm.
However, the Calamity Black Dragon is not entirely unusable. As long as you are careful and finish the battle quickly, there shouldn't be any major problems.
In addition, if one's cultivation level is insufficient, one can make up for it with magical treasures. He has the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror and innate spiritual treasures, which are enough to make up for the gap.
Thinking about it, Gu Qing glanced at Liu Liangsheng, who sat calmly in the main seat, and sighed inwardly. He was truly a decisive and ruthless old fox, going all out from the start.
"I'm sorry, Master. It was all my carelessness. I thought that by refining some low-grade pills, I could be no different from an ordinary alchemist. But I forgot that ordinary alchemists don't have a 100% success rate in making pills."
Now that things have come to this, there's nothing Gu Qing doesn't understand.
That old fox Liu Liangsheng must have long suspected that he wasn't a low-level alchemist, but a mid-level one.
A mid-level alchemist can refine far too many elixirs.
Each mid-grade immortal pill is a rare treasure.
Even if he were a successor of the great Dan Sect, Liu Liang Sheng would probably still be tempted and secretly make a move against him.
"It's not your fault. I'm overjoyed that you figured it out. Besides, I believe in you and I'm sure you can defeat Liu Liangsheng." Zhi Meng smiled with satisfaction.
In her view, Gu Qing was so intelligent that he was almost demonic. The reason he left such a big flaw was not because he was careless, but because Gu Qing never intended to ruin the elixir.
In Gu Qing's value system, she wouldn't do something so immoral.
Those celestial medicines were sought by cultivators at great personal risk; if they were ruined during the refining process, it would be a devastating blow to them.
Her apprentice, though possessing a moral compass, was ultimately too young.
After thinking it over, Zhi Meng said directly, "No, thank you."
"???"
"What did you say? No?"
Ye Lin couldn't sit still any longer; those were billions of immortal crystals that were about to be his.
"good."
"...Fine, we'll do it your way, 20 billion immortal crystals, but I want nine Immortal Essence Pills and nine Tribulation-Crossing Pills, all of the highest grade."
Ye Lin hesitated for a moment, his heart bleeding, and gritted his teeth.
He didn't believe that Zhimeng had really given up.
In his mind, Zhi Meng was definitely a successor of a great sect, and such a second-generation immortal would have no shortage of immortal crystals and treasures.
The flying boat that can travel through the turbulent flow of time can save lives in critical moments, so no matter how high the price he asks for, Zhi Meng has no choice but to buy it.
Ye Lin wasn't afraid that Zhi Meng wouldn't buy it; he was afraid that Zhi Meng wouldn't ask him to buy it.
After all, Zhimeng offered such a high price; with a little time, we can definitely buy it.
"Oh, wasn't it said that three hundred billion immortal crystals, one piece of news, and both are indispensable?"
Gu Qing made a sarcastic remark.
Ye Lin was furious. He was just asking for an exorbitant price to maximize his profits. He didn't believe Gu Qing couldn't see through it.
If Gu Qing hadn't interfered, Zhi Meng would definitely have raised the price, and might even have told him some shocking news.
After all, he has already tricked countless second-generation immortals like Zhi Meng.
Gu Qing's meddling caused him to lose hundreds of billions of immortal crystals, which felt like a piece of his heart being ripped out.
"Do you still want to make the deal?" Ye Lin suppressed his anger and asked coldly.
"No, I already have a better option."
After saying that, Zhi Meng continued without waiting for Ye Lin's response, "I have completed the transaction. Please welcome the next fellow Daoist."
"Wait, fellow Daoist, you should think this through carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another one," Ye Lin said anxiously.
That's an extra 10 billion immortal crystals, plus more than a dozen immortal pills.
These top-grade pills are so rare that they are hard to buy even with immortal crystals.
Moreover, he desperately needs Immortal Essence Pills and Calamity-Crossing Pills right now.
"If you're willing to sell for ten billion immortal crystals, I wouldn't mind making the deal."
"Hahaha……"
As Zhi Meng finished speaking, the room erupted in laughter, full of sarcasm.
Ye Lin became insatiably greedy, thinking that all rich people were easy targets, which was utterly absurd.
Ye Lin's face burned with embarrassment, and he was internally devastated.
Because he knew very well that the cooked duck had flown away, and Zhi Meng must have already found a seller.
"Does anyone have a Time Jade Wall? I'm willing to offer two billion Immortal Crystals. No bargaining. If it's right, we can trade directly. Any more than that, no further discussion."
Gu Qing ignored Ye Lin, seeing him as nothing more than a dying man.
He had already memorized Ye Lin's scent; once Liu Liangsheng was killed, Ye Lin's death would be imminent.
As for acquiring the Time Jade Wall, it was actually just in case.
If we can't take down Liu Liangsheng, then we'll be in trouble.
Anyway, buying the Time Jade Wall won't be a loss; he's a Saint Artifact Master who can forge flying boats.
Even if you don't need it yourself, you can make a fortune by trading it.
“Fellow Daoist, I have enough Time Jade Walls to refine a medium-sized flying boat, plus one billion Immortal Crystals, and three high-grade Tribulation-Crossing Pills.”
Soon someone responded.
Although refining it into a flying boat and selling it could fetch a higher price, it's extremely difficult to find a craftsman capable of inscribing defensive time-turbulence array patterns, and there's a risk of failure.
He doesn't dare to gamble at all; it's safer to trade honestly and make a profit without risk.
“Sure.” More quantity means a higher price, so Gu Qing had nothing to say.
“Alright, both parties’ needs are met. Please place your treasures on the trading platform,” Li Yuzheng said.
Zhi Meng immediately placed the Crossing-the-Calamity Pill and the Immortal Crystal into the teleportation slot, and the other party did the same.
After carefully inspecting the item and confirming that it was genuine, Li Yuzheng said, "The treasure is authentic. Do either of you have any objections? If not, the deal can be made."
"No objection."
"Alright, the transaction is complete. Please welcome the next fellow Daoist."
"I want to trade for the Eternal Pill."
Ye Lin said impatiently.
However, no one paid any attention, and Gu Qing and Zhi Meng simply got up and left.
Liu Liangsheng watched the two figures leave, his face showing excitement and his eyes filled with greed. He immediately chased after them.
