Chapter 258 7 Yuanchan confinement, the sales meeting starts!
Chapter 258 Seven source toad confinement, the sales meeting begins!
Less than half an hour after Su Ran entered Liu Sheng's mansion, he walked out of the mansion again.
Liu Sheng smiled and Mimi sent Su Ran away, and shouted: "Mr. Su, come down again. If you need any mythical Gu, Liu will definitely find it for you. The Ring Fragrance Gu will be sold in half a month. I will take it for you."
After watching Su Ran go away, Liu Sheng gradually put away his smile, turned around and walked into the mansion.
"Young Master Su, what a wonderful person, what a wonderful person!"
Liu Sheng shook his head, his expression overflowing with joy.
The butler greeted him from the side: "Master, this time it can be regarded as a big profit. I got one mythical Gu and six seventh-grade poisonous Gu."
"Haha, there are not only six poisonous Gus, there should be three poisonous Gus, plus an eighth-grade poisonous Gu." Liu Sheng said proudly. After some detailed discussions, he and Su Ran reached two deals.
The first transaction was to trade a first-grade blood-clotting Gu and a fifth-grade spirit Gu in exchange for Su Ran's first-grade writing Gu and three seventh-grade poisonous Gu.
The blood-closing Gu ear has two abilities to enhance the front yin and back yin, and the third ability is even more useless. This Gu Dingtian can be used to condense blood lines, and I don't know why Su Ran specially changed this Gu.
Thinking about Qianyin, he can only guess that Su Ran's needs in some aspects are relatively large...
It was very distressing for him to be given a fifth-grade spiritual Gu, but it was worth it to get a main battle mythical Gu.
The second transaction was related to the sales conference. Su Ran took a fancy to a Ring Fragrance Gu related to the mouth and nose at the conference, and asked him to help win the bid at the price of three seventh-grade sulfur salivary Gu.
He is good at winning the bid, so he accepted it quickly.
Three seventh-rank sulfur salivary Gu, as long as it takes more than ten years to cultivate the three Gus with moon secret stones, and after reaching the ultimate seventh-rank, and then upgrade the same species, you can get an eighth-rank sulfur salivary Gu.
The value of an eighth grade Gu is naturally higher than that of Ring Fragrance Gu.
"Yes, it is indeed an eighth-rank poison Gu," the housekeeper replied, "Sulfur salivary Gu is often accompanied by poisonous water frogs, and three seventh-rank Gu is one eighth-rank Gu."
Liu Sheng kept nodding his head.
Eighth-grade sulfur salivary Gu, as long as it is resold to casual cultivators in need, it can double the profit.
the other side.
Su Ran also returned to her residence happily.
Su Ran was very satisfied with the trip to Liu Sheng's mansion.
The fifth-grade spirit Gu is already in hand.
Thanks to the detailed information from the Ten Thousand Gu Building, Su Ran knew that Liu Sheng resold Mythical Gu. He was so rich that he had no shortage of Spiritual Gu. There is a high probability that students will agree.
Perhaps it was because his asking price was too high, but Liu Sheng didn't refuse at all, and didn't even lower the price, and directly took out a fifth-grade spirit Gu.
Fifth grade spirit Gu, really has a price but no market.
In the Ten Thousand Gu Building, one fifth-grade spirit Gu is far less than the price of three seventh-grade poisonous Gu, but outside, this price is reasonable, and given this price, it may not be the kind that can be exchanged. .
However, Su Ran's Huang rank authority cannot be exchanged for the fifth-grade spirit Gu, so he can only trade it privately among laymen.
As for asking Liu Sheng to buy Ring Fragrance Gu at the sales conference.
The main reason is that Ring Fragrance Gu is a secret transaction.
In the case of a hidden bid, Su Ran can only bid once, and has no way of knowing what other people bid. In the end, the Xiling Pavilion publicly displayed the bids of each family at one time, and the price was high.
Su Ran didn't have much experience, so he couldn't grasp the secret transaction, and he was determined to get the ring fragrance Gu, and he might offer a sky-high price to win the ring fragrance Gu.
Asking a sky-high price...then it is better to ask Liu Sheng to help bid.
For Liu Sheng's help, only three seventh-grade sulfur salivary Gu is needed, which is fine.
Liu Sheng is able to win the bid for Mythical Gu every year. He has rich experience and his ability to win the bid is unique. Basically, as long as Liu Sheng likes the Mythical Gu, he can win it in the end.
I only buy one Mythical Gu a year, not because I don’t want to buy more, but because I really want to buy it. Liu Sheng can win five bids every year with a guarantee. It’s not bad to buy one every year. him.
The cooperation has been reached, and the Gu worm has been delivered.
Regardless of whether Liu Sheng won the bid for Ring Fragrance Gu, Liu Sheng had to give Su Ran a Mythical Gu with dual attributes of mouth and nose.
take this.
Although the Ring Fragrance Gu has not yet been obtained, and the sales meeting has not yet started, Su Ran's demands for the four mythical attributes of mouth, nose, front yin, and back yin have been fulfilled.
Shuxue Gu is related to the front yin and back yin, and Huanxiang Gu is related to the mouth and nose.
Moreover, the fifth-grade spirit Gu is enough, so it can be said that the goal has been successfully completed.
All of this went more smoothly than expected.
of course.
Su Ran will still participate in the sales meeting. There will be other high-grade Gu worms at the meeting. Su Ran may also buy the seventh-grade Gu worms he needs.
With the fifth-grade spirit Gu in hand, Su Ran immediately began to make the fifth-grade mythological enlightenment medicine. While preparing the medicine, he also enlightened the first-grade toad confinement Gu and the first-grade blood-clotting Gu.
Toad Yuezi Gu, he still has three in his hand.
Three hours later, two copies of the first to third-rank mythological enlightenment medicines were consumed, and the toad month child Gu and blood-clotting Gu were upgraded to fourth-rank, and the fifth-rank mythical Gu spiritual medicines were also made.
Continue to feed the fourth-rank and fifth-rank mythological enlightenment medicines to Toad Moon Gu.
And capture and integrate the blood-clotting Gu.
Closing blood Gu has three attributes, the first two are related to the front yin and back yin, and the third attribute is tumor armor, which can form a layer of defenseless black armor on the buttocks, which has no effect at all, and belongs to the attribute of the nature of imperial Gu .
For the tumor armor, after merging, let the Illusory Immortal Gu swallow it in one gulp.
Attributes such as tumor armor are a common problem of mutant mythical Gu. Although the strength is mythical, its practicality is zero.
The front yin and back yin have been strengthened from the fullness of three sources to the four sources of mythology. Relying on the fifth-rank and sixth-rank front yin and back yin Gu worms in Wangu City last time, the two attributes can be directly strengthened to six sources.
Another four hours later.
Consuming two copies of the Mythical Enlightenment Elixir, the Toad Moon Gu was upgraded to the seventh rank.
Bronze inscriptions emerged.
Cultivation: Three-turn incorporeal body.
Gu source: seventh-grade toad confinement Gu source (can be captured).
……
"capture."
"assimilate into."
"strengthen."
Gold text changes.
……
Brain: Qiyuan Chan Yuezi ([-]).
Anterior yin and posterior yin: six sources of closed blood ([-]).
……
Seven source toad confinement!
Su Ran finally felt a little safer.
In the city, although it is not easy to directly try the synergistic effect of Qiyuan Chanyuezi and Qishengqin, it is definitely not a big problem to instantly kill a seventh-rank Gu master.
The combination of Liuyuan Chanyuezi and Qishengqin can't be prevented by the seventh-rank spiritual shield alone. It needs the combination of the seventh-rank spiritual shield and Chan Yuezi's own consciousness defense. At that time, the strength of the consciousness attack, It is the strength of the eighth grade.
Now the cooperation between Qiyuan Chanyuezi and Qishengqin, not to mention reaching the strength of the ninth grade, but it is definitely the top strength of the eighth grade.
of course.
Su Ran couldn't resist the peak strength of the eighth grade, but Chan Yuezi reached Qiyuan, which also strengthened his consciousness defense at the same time, so he shouldn't be killed by Qishengqin in seconds.
Hurt the enemy and hurt yourself, this is Qishengqin.
"Qiyuan Chanyuezi... I am qualified to take a trip to Duantianyuan to find a chance for a wave of holy flying immortals."
"However, Patriarch Heikui is still a big trouble..."
"If Mr. Xi really wants to get rid of Patriarch Heikui, I can be a bait, but it's a pity..."
……
……
twelve days later.
The annual Xiling Pavilion Mythical Gu Sales Conference has finally arrived.
The fifteen days of the sales conference were the busiest days of the year in Xiling City.
As the only event in Central Region where Mythical Gu, Legendary Gu and High-grade Gu were sold at the same time, it attracted the attention of the entire Central Region.
However, this year's sales event was a little worse than previous years.
The main reason is that the current war between the human domain and the savage domain and the strange moon domain is relatively tense.
The three major cities of the Gu Academy guarding the borders of the Savage Realm and the Deceitful Moon Realm were attacked at the same time. A large number of Gu masters were stationed on the border, unable to come to Xiling City.
The venue of the sales conference is located in the central square of Xiling City. This is a super-large square that can allow 50 people to walk freely on the square at the same time.
On the central square, there are several areas.
The most central location is the Mythical Gu sales area. It is a super tall building with a width in the middle and a narrow top and bottom. It is open for five days, and under the high-rise is the Mingbiao trading area, which is only open for ten days.
The six directions around the Mythical Gu sales area are the Legendary Gu trading areas, there are six in total, and each Legendary Gu trading area will release five Legendary Gu every day.
Of course, the Legendary Gu trading area not only sells Legendary Gu, Legendary Gu is just a gimmick, along with Legendary Gu, there are also a large number of mutated Gu insects above the second rank.
The official trading areas of Xiling Pavilion are these seven.
Outside the legendary trading area, another circle around it is the free trading area for casual cultivators.
That's right, during the fifteen days of the sales conference, there will be a large number of casual cultivators selling Gu worms that they don't need.
The sales meeting of Xiling Pavilion can be regarded as a compulsory Gu Friends Club with a large number of people for all kinds of casual cultivators.
Here, everyone is separated from each other, and basically there will be no intersection after the transaction, so there is no need to worry about someone's black hand after the event.
Su Ran came to the central square early.
He first calculated the capital on his body——
Rank seven Gu worms, six;
There are 23 first-grade legendary Gus. These legendary Gus are all obtained from the Guangmen Cave opened by Ouyang Qi, the inheritance place of Douzhuan Confucianism.
Gu worms below the seventh rank are not counted, it is useless, what Su Ran needs is the seventh-rank Gu, and he can only use the seventh-rank Gu as the price, and the Gu insects below the seventh rank can only be used as a bargaining aid.
There are still many low-grade spiritual enlightenment medicines, but they are reserved for personal use.
Above the central square, it was very lively, with all kinds of discussions ringing in my ears, Su Ran listened with great interest as she walked.
'Hey, this year's sales conference is a good opportunity. I heard Mingguang City is in a tight spot. Jue Yue and the human control Gu are attacking Mingguang City, attracting a large number of high-grade Gu masters to help. There are few high-grade Gu masters. The pressure is much less. '
"It's a good thing that there are fewer high-grade Gu masters, but those casual cultivators who are looking to exchange Gu have also lost a large number of high-quality customers. '
"Indeed, but the Xiling Pavilion doesn't care about the lack of high-grade Gu masters. Those who buy and sell Gu insects in the Xiling Pavilion are mainly loose cultivators..."
'...'
'Hey, have you heard about the Feixian Cave Mansion? '
'I've heard that it's all the rage. I've already made an appointment with someone. As soon as the sales conference is over, I'll form a team to go to the misty forest in the Savage Domain. If there's a chance to get an eighth-rank Gu, that's enough. ,are you going? '
"I won't go, the savage domain is too dangerous, and I heard that Qiu Shan only sold the news of the Feixian Cave Mansion to a few ninth-rank forces. For some reason, it is now known to the whole people. I feel a bit evil." , do not go. '
"It should be that Qiu Shan wanted to make more money from the news of Feixian Cave Mansion, and deliberately sold the news to some small forces, causing the news to spread..."
