Chapter 299 Pearl
"Ten thousand year old blood ginseng, ten thousand year old blood ginseng, using it to make medicine can increase your lifespan by ten years."

"Come and take a look. This is thousand-year-old agarwood from the seabed. Just a small piece can burn for a whole day. The fragrance is lingering and calms the mind. Burning a piece every day for cultivation can increase the speed of cultivation."

"Come and see, come and see, this is the seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum. It can be used to make pills, or you can swallow it directly."

Gu Chen walked on the streets of Island No. 36, and his ears were filled with all kinds of hawking sounds. A noisy atmosphere hit him in the face, as if he had entered a chaotic vegetable market with warriors everywhere.

Buying and selling elixirs, weapons, and pills, bargaining...

It was extremely messy, and a vulgar, worldly atmosphere was conveyed.

Gu Chen looked around with great interest. All the warriors in the Black Turtle Continent were arrogant and had never engaged in such business activities. Most of them were still setting up stalls on the street.

"It's truly a vast martial arts world. Any one of them is a martial arts expert who has condensed their Qi and blood. If they were placed in the Black Turtle Continent, they could establish a martial arts family."

Gu Chen licked his lips, feeling emotional in his heart.

On the Black Turtle Continent, innate warriors are called masters, and one person can rule an entire country. But here, they are just beginners in martial arts, and at most are just small masters. Only warriors in the Lingyuan realm are qualified to look down on others.

While he was thinking, several burly men surrounded him in an instant, and each of them took out some medicinal herbs from his arms and introduced them to Gu Chen.

"Young man, do you need any Poria cocos? Look, this Poria cocos is a hundred years old. It's rich in vitality and has sufficient medicinal effects. It's perfect for refining pills."

"Take a look at my Silk-Twisting Grass. It grows a hundred feet below the sea. Its bones and tendons are extremely tough and can be used to weave inner armor. Even warriors at the Spiritual Origin Realm can withstand a few blows."

"Look at me, look at me. This is the thigh bone of a sea ape from the sea tribe. It can be used to make soup. Drinking it will strengthen your body."

Gu Chen did not expect these warriors to be so enthusiastic, and it took him a lot of effort to shake them off.

"Tsk, you're taking me for a fool. What you're talking about is a hundred-year-old Poria cocos. It's only a dozen years old at most. It's just decorated with spirit stone powder to make it look more medicinal."

Gu Chen curled his lips as he looked at the middle-aged man who was selling something to other people. He had seen this kind of thing a lot on the Xuangui Road. They were all unscrupulous merchants who sold inferior products as good ones.

However, he did not expose it. This kind of thing tests one's eyesight, and those who are willing to buy it are all those who are greedy for a bargain. Otherwise, how could a hundred-year-old Poria cocos be sold for only dozens of spirit stones? Do they really think it is cheap?
After getting rid of this group of door-to-door salesmen, Gu Chen continued walking on the street, looking around.

Suddenly, Gu Chen stopped and his eyes stopped in front of a stall.

The owner of the stall was an old man with dark skin and a thin body. He wore a linen vest with his chest exposed, revealing his slender ribs.

At first glance, he looks like a sea dweller who has been making a living in the sea for many years. His cultivation is also good, having reached the peak of the acquired realm and condensed his true energy.

When the old man saw that there was business coming, he quickly stood up with a smile on his face.

"Sir, take a look and see if there's anything you like. I have a collection of all kinds of pearls here. I personally fished them out of the sea, so there's absolutely no fakes."

The old man's stall was filled with all kinds of pearls, some as small as the size of a thumb and some as big as a fist. In addition to the common white pearls, there were also some pink, black and gold pearls.

Each one of them exudes a faint fluctuation of vital energy. If they were placed in the Black Turtle Continent, they would be priceless treasures. However, this is the Falling Star Islands, and these things are the least of their shortage.

Gu Chen observed it carefully and finally focused his attention on a white pearl the size of a fist.

"How much is it?"

"Young master, you have a good eye. This is a pearl that I took out from a thousand-year-old clam. It has a medicinal age of a thousand years and is extremely rich in vitality. If it is boiled with some medicinal herbs, it can be made into a body-quenching soup. After drinking it, it will have the effect of strengthening the body. What do you think of thirty spirit stones?" The old man said cautiously.

"Okay, just thirty spirit stones." "Hey! Thank you, sir. I'll pack it for you right away."

Upon hearing this, the old man quickly took out a wooden box from a cloth bag beside him, and then placed the pearl on the wooden box.

Gu Chen also took out thirty spirit stones from the defogger bracelet and handed them over.

"Wait a minute, fifty spirit stones, this pearl is mine."

Just as the two men were handing over the money and the goods, a proud voice suddenly came.

But at some point, a man in white appeared in front of the stall. He had a fair face and no beard, and his eye sockets were sunken, looking like he had kidney deficiency.

She held a folding fan in her hand, but the painting on it was not a landscape, but an erotic picture.

At this moment, he was looking down at the two of them.

But the old man's movements paused obviously when he heard this, but Gu Chen simply reached out and pulled the wooden box over, and then placed thirty spirit stones on his stall.

"I don't need to explain the principle of first come, first served! Island 36 has its own rules, or are the old people unwilling to follow them?"

Gu Chen's tone was calm, but extremely impolite.

The old man also showed an embarrassed look on his face. He quickly took the spirit stone away and said in a low voice: "I dare not, I dare not. The money and goods are cleared. It's easy for you, young master."

Gu Chen put the wooden box directly into the storage bracelet, stood up and left, not even bothering to look at the young man with kidney deficiency.

"Wait a minute, how about selling it to me for fifty?"

"Not for sale."

"One hundred."

"Not for sale."

call out!
The kidney-deficient youth's face darkened. He moved his body, took a step forward, crossed a distance of several feet, and stood directly in front of Gu Chen. He said in a cold voice: "Boy, don't be so greedy. You only spent thirty spirit stones. I will give you a hundred now. You still don't want to make a net profit of seventy?"

Gu Chen also stopped and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You're the greedy one, aren't you? You don't think you're the only one who can see that the so-called pearl is just a shell, and the real treasure is inside, right?"

The young man with kidney deficiency's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he looked at Gu Chen deeply.

"I've made a mistake. I'm Zhao Wu, a disciple of Lieyang Palace. The contents of that pearl will be of great use to me. How about two hundred spirit stones?"

Hearing the two hundred spirit stones, the old man selling pearls was also shaken in the heart, with a look of regret on his face. The harvest of thirty spirit stones he had just obtained was instantly not so attractive.

Some passers-by who witnessed the whole process were full of envy for Gu Chen. He did nothing but earned more than a hundred spirit stones in one transaction. This business was simply not easy to do.

Of course, what they are more curious about now is what is so magical about that pearl. It looks like just an ordinary pearl, at most it is a little old, so why is it fought over by two people so much?
