Chapter 532: Raising the price from the ground up Gu Yuanqing told Li Chengyi that he didn't care, but he was his own son after all, and they were related by blood, so how could he just ignore him? Besides, Gu Yuanqing believed in "I will not offend others unless they offend me", so how could he resist giving the Sanyang Sect a beating when it came to his door? Under the guidance of Ziji Pavilion, he flew towards the nearby mountain top with a beam of light. The scenery here is beautiful, with pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings, carved with intricate runes and patterns of magical birds and beasts, as if showing the long history and profound heritage of the Ziji Pavilion sect. Even the one with the highest level of cultivation in Ziyou Realm is only at the peak level of Xutian Realm, but Qianyuan Realm, which has only developed for a hundred years, is simply incomparable in terms of cultivation culture. In front of a magnificent hall, there were monks from the Zi Ji Pavilion welcoming them, all of whom had reached the Xu Tian level of cultivation. Gu Yuanqing glanced around calmly and his eyes fell on a familiar face. It was Xue Pingyan, whom he had met twice in the ancient world. As soon as Xue Pingyan's eyes met Gu Yuanqing's, she immediately dodged away, her eyes full of panic and a little sweat on her forehead. Feng Yunting noticed that Gu Yuanqing's gaze lingered, and also saw that Xue Pingyan's expression was a little strange. He frowned slightly, but did not say anything at this time. He warmly invited Gu Yuanqing into the hall. The hall is spacious, like a training ground for mortals. In the hall, three monks from the Sanyang Sect were sitting on the chairs on the left. When they saw Gu Yuanqing coming in, they just looked at him indifferently without standing up. Behind each of these three people, there was another person standing, who was also a cultivator from the Sanyang Sect, and all of them had a cultivation level above the Xutian Great Success level.

"Senior Gu, please take a seat." Feng Yunting extended his hand to invite him. Gu Yuanqing walked straight to the first seat on the right and sat down, while Gu Siyuan and Qin Wuya stood behind Gu Yuanqing. A maid served tea. There were also seats for the host family at the top, but Feng Yunting did not dare to take them. He stood at the top of the hall, bowed to both sides and said, "Seniors, please discuss business. Zi Ji Pavilion will prepare a banquet to show our hospitality. I hope you will do me the honor." Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Thank you, Pavilion Master Feng. I'll have a chance to taste the delicacies of Ziyou Realm later." Zhu Qingyu simply said, "Okay, then please ask Pavilion Master Feng to step aside for a moment, and I will have a good talk with Taoist Gu." Feng Yunting's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Then I will withdraw first." Afterwards, both sides bowed and left the hall with the people from Zi Ji Pavilion. Liao Xu from Tianbao Commercial Bank and another deacon at the peak of Xutian level also clasped their fists and said with a smile: "We will also withdraw first and not disturb you seniors from discussing business." After a while, only people from Sanyang Sect and Qianyuan Realm were left in the hall. Zhu Qingyu glanced at the people from Qianyuan Realm, and finally landed on Gu Yuanqing. He said with a fake smile, "I am Zhu Qingyu, the chief of Chaoyang lineage of Sanyang Sect. Fellow Daoist Gu, you are so rare to see. We in Sanyang Sect have wanted to talk to you many times, but today I finally get to see your true face." Gu Yuanqing took a sip of tea slowly before saying, "There are many masters in the Sanyang Sect, and I am the only one in the Qianyuan Realm. I am not able to split myself into two." "Then I will not waste any more words. Fellow Daoist Gu, the Three Yang Sect wants the Zhiyang Blazing Crystal in your hand. You can choose any one of the Liangyi Yunling Pearl, Yinyang Magic Gold, or Taiji Lingpo. They are of equal value." Zhu Qingyu said Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly: "My conditions are very clear, I only want the Heaven Grade Divine Soul Medicine, and I am not interested in anything else." "You should know that the Supreme Yang Blazing Crystal is not worth ten Heaven Grade Divine Soul Medicines. Exchanging a Yin Yang item for a Yin Yang item is a fair deal. It can also earn the friendship of my San Yang Sect. It is a good thing for both you and Qian Yuan Realm!" Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Really? Master Zhu Feng, haven't you heard that things are valuable because they are rare? Whether it's the Yin-Yang Soul Pearl, Yin-Yang Magic Gold, or Tai Chi Soul, they can all last forever, but the Yang Blazing Crystal is born in the Yang Land. It's either evolved from the expansion of the realm, or it's deep under the earth veins, making it hard to find. It will take at most ten thousand years for it to take shape, and then it will turn into an ordinary treasure." Zhu Qingyu said, "Then you should also know that once the Supreme Yang Blazing Crystal is separated from the place where it was born, without the nourishment of the Supreme Yang Qi, it will be internalized by the Yang Qi and nourished by the Yin Qi in thirty years at most, and it will turn into an ordinary precious material for refining weapons. If you hold it in your hand, aren't you afraid that it will be smashed and you will get nothing?" Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "So what? At worst, I can just treat it as an ordinary Yin-Yang treasure and comprehend the way of Yin-Yang. Besides, since I can't sell it to your Sanyang Sect, I can still sell it to someone else." “Who dares to interfere with what my Sanyang Sect wants?” Duan Qifeng, the elder of Tianbian Erjie, said coldly.

Gu Yuanqing played with the teacup in his hand: "Ordinary sects may not dare to compete with you, but I think Huanling Sect may also be interested in this item. If Wuchen Sect knew about it, they would be willing to pay a price to get the Zhiyang Blazing Crystal in Gu's hand, right?" Hearing the name of Wuchen Sect, Zhu Qingyu sat up straight, a divine light flashed in his eyes, and the invisible spiritual will pressed towards Gu Yuanqing. This was the secret art of the soul, and the power level was just controlled at the peak of the virtual sky. He also said: "It seems that you are not going to accept the friendship of my Sanyang Sect?" Gu Yuanqing felt the power coming at him, and he snapped his fingers lightly, and the power disappeared. Zhu Qingyu's heart sank slightly. He knew of course that the power of Xutian level could not hurt the opponent, but it could test out many things. However, it was much easier for Gu Yuanqing to resolve it than he imagined. Gu Yuanqing sneered: "The Sanyang Sect is still so overbearing. If the deal fails, are they going to rob it by force?" A trace of doubt suddenly flashed through Zhu Qingyu's mind. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar. At this moment, a loud laugh was heard from outside the hall. "The Sanyang Sect is so shameless in its actions. Don't be surprised, Fellow Daoist Gu." As they were talking, three people pushed the door open and walked in. The first person was wearing a plain Taoist robe with a belt of the same color tied around his waist, hanging a small bronze sword and Taoist Bagua accessories. This person was the elder of the Wuchen Sect. Swish! All the people from Sanyang Sect stood up. Zhu Qingyu's face was gloomy: "Jiang Wuwei, my Sanyang Sect is discussing something with someone, why are you barging in?" Jiang Wuwei said: "What a joke, this is the Purple Nether Realm, not your Sanyang Sect. You can come here, but why can't I? My Wuchen Sect is also very interested in the Zhiyang Blazing Crystal." Zhu Qingyu suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Yuanqing. The news about the Zhiyang Fiery Crystal was only known to Qianyuan Realm, Sanyang Sect and Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. There was no way that Tianbao Chamber of Commerce would dare to leak the news. So the only person who notified Wuchen Sect was Gu Yuanqing. Gu Yuanqing smiled and slowly stood up: "When buying something, you should compare prices from three different stores. When selling something, the highest price wins." Jiang Wuwei smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu is right. The Zhiyang Blazing Crystal is a good thing. Besides, if the Sanyang Sect is interested in something, my Wuchen Sect will also be interested in it." Zhu Qingyu had an ugly expression on his face. The Sanyang Sect and the Wuchen Sect were old enemies with constant disputes. With the Wuchen Sect around, it would be even harder to get the Zhiyang Fiery Crystal. There was no need to say anything. Unless he fought Jiang Wuwei immediately, the people of Wuchen Sect would never leave. He stared at Gu Yuanqing and said, "Gu Daoyou, it's a bit unkind of you to do this. This Zhiyang Blazing Crystal was originally found by my Sanyang Sect." Jiang Wuwei said, "Zhu Qingyu, you are wrong. Qianyuan Realm allowed your Sanyang Sect to enter the realm so that you can gain enlightenment, but it did not say that you can steal things. How about you also let my Wuchen Sect go to your ancient world's misty forest for a visit?" "That's right. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Gu watching, I'm afraid that the people from your Sanyang Sect would have stolen the Zhiyang Fiery Crystal. It's also because Fellow Daoist Gu is kind-hearted. If it were our Wuchen Sect, we would have broken the legs of such thieves." said the young cultivator standing behind Jiang Wuwei. "Liu Qingfeng, who are you calling a thief?" a man from the Sanyang Sect said angrily. This man was Liu Ruiyuan's disciple, and he had the strength to reach the peak of Xutian. The young monk sneered: "Isn't it stealing if you take something without asking for permission?" Zhu Qingyu looked at Jiang Wuwei with a murderous look in his eyes, "Are the people of Wuchen Sect so unruly? Is it his turn to interrupt here?" Jiang Wuwei smiled calmly and said, "Of course, anyone can say this fair thing. What? Master Zhu Feng wants to take action, then Jiang will accompany you." "There will be plenty of opportunities to learn from the Wuchen Sect's skills in the future!" Zhu Qingyu retracted his gaze, not wanting to fight in the Ziyou Realm. He turned to look at Gu Yuanqing and asked, "Fellow Daoist Gu, transactions are also based on first come first served. Name your price!" Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back, watching the dispute between the two sects with great interest. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Hasn't the price been announced long ago? Ten Heaven Grade Spiritual Medicines, and they must be found in the real world." "The Sun Blazing Crystal is not worth that much! Since we are trading, don't ask for an exorbitant price." Gu Yuanqing said leisurely: "Is that so? Since both families are here, why not let the highest bidder win?"

Jiang Wuwei said: "Didn't Master Zhu Feng say that it's first come, first served? Why don't you just name a price first?" Zhu Qingyu took a deep breath and said, "Two Heaven-grade Spiritual Medicines, this value has exceeded the value of the Yang Blazing Crystal." Jiang Wuwei smiled and said, "The Sanyang Sect is a big family, but they are so stingy. The Zhiyang Blazing Crystal is a rare good thing. Although my Wuchen Sect is a little poor, we are willing to offer two heaven-level and one earth-level lower-grade soul medicine. Of course, if Fellow Daoist Gu wants to exchange it for a seventh-level spirit vein, that's also fine." Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Forget about the spiritual veins. We have plenty in Qianyuan Realm. Master Zhu Feng, do you want to make an offer? Otherwise, I will trade this Zhiyang Blazing Crystal with Elder Jiang." Zhu Qingyu said expressionlessly: "Two Heaven-grade and one Earth-grade high-quality Spiritual Medicine." Jiang Wuwei said: "Fellow Daoist Gu, it seems that Master Zhu Feng is not very sincere about the deal. Just trade with me. My Wuchen Sect will give you another top-grade Spiritual Medicine." Zhu Qingyu clenched his fist tightly: "Three Heaven-level Soul Medicines, this is the limit." "Four heavenly-grade plants." Jiang Wuwei spoke lightly. Zhu Qingyu's eyes became sharper: "Four Heaven-level Spiritual Medicines, can your Wuchen Sect produce them?" Each heavenly grade divine soul is extremely precious. Even in large sects, only cultivators who have the opportunity to break through the third heavenly tribulation from the second heavenly tribulation are qualified to eat it. The Wuchen Sect's giving out of four Heavenly Grade Soul Elixirs also means that some people will lose their chance. "Master Zhu Feng, there's no need to worry about this. For the Zhiyang Fiery Crystal, everything is worth it!" Jiang Wuwei said with a smile. In terms of value alone, the Zhiyang Fiery Crystal is naturally not worth four Heavenly Grade Soul Medicines, but this item has a different meaning to the Sanyang Sect. In their hands, the possibility of achieving the great Yin-Yang cultivation increases. Zhu Qingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression became colder. He naturally knew what Wuchen Sect was planning. He stared at Gu Yuanqing and said, "Five Heaven-grade Soul Medicines. This is the bottom line for my Sanyang Sect." Jiang Wuwei clapped his hands and laughed, "It is indeed one of the top three major sects in Linglong Realm. It is rich and powerful, and my Wuchen Sect cannot compare to it! However, Fellow Daoist Gu, you must be careful, for fear that some people will not keep their promises." Zhu Qingyu ignored Jiang Wuwei and said to Gu Yuanqing, "Since Wuchen Sect does not intend to increase the price, then we can exchange the money and the goods. When will Brother Gu be ready to trade?" Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "Now that it's decided, we can do it anytime." "Then tomorrow morning." Zhu Qingyu said. Jiang Wuwei smiled and said, "Then I will also stay in Ziyou Realm for a day. If Sanyang Sect regrets, Daoist Gu, don't forget my Wuchen Sect." Zhu Qingyu glanced at Gu Yuanqing and Jiang Wuwei's faces, snorted coldly, and walked out with a wave of his sleeves. That night, Ziyou Realm prepared a banquet to entertain them, but although Wuchen Sect and Qianyuan Realm arrived, no one from Sanyang Sect showed up. As night fell, several celestial beings from the Sanyang Realm sat in the house. Zhu Qingyu slapped the table with his palm, and the whole table turned into ashes in a ball of flames. "Shameless guy! In cahoots with each other, this Gu Yuanqing is clearly using the Wuchen Sect to raise the price!" "Yes, the people from Wuchen Sect came here because they saw that Sanyang Sect was determined to get the Zhiyang Blazing Crystal, and they wanted us to pay a greater price." “There are only three people in the Wuchen Sect, and in the Qianyuan Realm, only Gu Yuanqing is a celestial being. The rest are just gods and are not worth mentioning. In the Ziyou Realm, everyone has the strength of the peak of the Xutian realm. We are numerous, so why don’t we just go all out and kill them all!” A celestial being had murderous intent on his face. Zhu Qingyu frowned and said nothing. Another person asked, "Peak Master, is this Gu Yuanqing here in his true form? From what I've seen of his body and soul, it doesn't seem to be a puppet."

Zhu Qingyu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I don't know much about the way of incense. I haven't found anything after today's test. Zhao Yu, you go to the ancient world and let Junior Brother Liu find a way to test whether Gu Yuanqing's true body is still in the Qianyuan world." …… In a courtyard on another hill. "Grandfather, the Sanyang Sect must have been able to see that your purpose in inviting the Wuchen Sect here is that they may not be willing to suffer such a huge loss. They have a large number of people, will they suddenly kill us after the transaction?" Gu Siyuan frowned. Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "We have to be on guard. In this world, as long as Xutian takes action and forces us to reveal our celestial cultivation, we may be suppressed and killed by this world. However, there is no need to worry too much. They are just cultivators from Linglong World. Even if they are all at the peak of Xutian, they can't do anything to me." (End of this chapter)
