Above all spirits

Chapter 169 I'll treat you as a friend

"Speaking of which, shouldn't the Water of Life be a kind of restorative potion?"

Gu Yun led the two to a replacement store near the auction house; such stores are usually found around auction houses.

The purpose is to exchange some truly valuable items possessed by bidders for star coins to participate in the auction.

However, it's not without limits.

These stores not only function as pawnshops, but also as department stores.

However, prices are naturally a bit higher than normal.

Shang Wenqing led the way and explained to Gu Yun.

"No, the Water of Life is natural; it can only be produced by the Fountain of Life nourished by the World Tree in the heart of the Fairy Realm."

"It is said that the World Tree connects the upper and lower realms, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"The Water of Life has many effects, including restoration, detoxification, improvement of physique and longevity, etc. It covers all aspects and is one of the main economic forces of the fairy world."

"Anyway, ordinary people definitely can't afford it; one bottle costs one star coin."

Shang Wenqing noticed the inventory list displayed at the exchange store attached to the Chiyan Auction House.

He took a deep breath and said.

"Luckily, there's plenty of stock. Shopkeeper, give me five bottles of the Water of Life."

The store owner, with a broad smile on his face, responded in a gentle voice.

"Distinguished guest, the Water of Life in our store is a newly arrived stock, two star coins a bottle."

"If you buy five bottles, I'll give you a 10% discount, which is nine star coins. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Wenqing jumped up instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. His face turned ugly, and he grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Just received a new shipment?!"

"Do you really think I'm a sucker to be fleeced?!"

"Good heavens, isn't it a bit unfair of you to start selling at the highest price?"

Seemingly noticing Gu Yun and Daisy behind him, he calmed himself down slightly and spoke.

"Shopkeeper, to be honest, I am also a businessman, and I am aware of the cost of this Water of Life."

"Although it is currently a major event, prices in the surrounding area will indeed rise."

"But ask yourself honestly, at this price, how many of them have you actually sold?"

"No wonder there's so much inventory."

"I won't make things difficult for you. Seven star coins, I'll consider it a loss on my part."

The shopkeeper could only manage a wry smile after hearing Shang Wenqing's words.

After hesitating for a moment.

He carefully took out five bottles of the Water of Life from the storage container and handed them to Shang Wenqing, muttering to himself.

"Alright, alright."

I feel a little depressed.

This conference attracted many wealthy individuals.

However, it wasn't the perfect opportunity to take advantage of him that I had initially thought.

They are all very shrewd.

However, it is indeed as Shang Wenqing said.

I've already gotten a good deal with seven stars.

Gu Yun gestured, took a bottle from Shang Wenqing, and poured some into his palm.

Sniffed.

It has a natural, refreshing fragrance.

Golden light swirled between his palms.

He shook his head and handed it back shortly afterward.

"It might have a more noticeable effect on you."

"To me, it's just water with a slightly added fragrance."

Shang Wenqing chuckled.

"If it really has a significant effect on the peak of the Holy Body, it would probably cost more than this."

"But overall, it's not bad."

"Besides, Gu Moshi, since you're using it externally, internal use would be better."

Gu Yun waved his hand and said.

"maybe."

"lets go."

The shadow beneath their feet spread again.

Followed by.

Shang Wenqing handed over the remaining four bottles to Daisy.

"Daisy, put them in your storage ring. These few bottles should be enough for now."

Just as Daisy was about to express her gratitude again...

suddenly.

It was interrupted by a crisp, slightly surprised shout.

"Master! Master! We are destined to meet, we actually did run into her! You can't go back on your word!"

Not far away, a woman in a blue dress was tightly tugging at the sleeve of a middle-aged man.

Her pretty face radiated the same joy and excitement as behind her earlier shouts.

The middle-aged man looked at Gu Yun and the other two with a helpless expression, then clasped his hands in a salute.

"You two young friends must be the buyers who just purchased this woman at the auction."

"I am Yue Feng, an elder of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect. This is my wife Shang Xia and my disciple Xiang Ling."

"I'm really sorry, but this woman is actually from the same clan as my disciple."

"Could you please consider our kinship and kindly give her to us?"

"Of course, the price is negotiable. I'm willing to pay more than the agreed price to redeem her."

The middle-aged man was very polite to Gu Yun and his companion, treating them with courtesy.

However, he did not hide his strength as a ninth-level Saint Body.

It's less about putting on airs and more about being pretentious.

It's not that we used both soft and hard tactics.

If he were truly an unreasonable person, there would be no need for someone at the ninth level of the Holy Body realm to be so humble towards someone at the eighth level of the Holy Body realm and a young person whose strength is unknown.

Shang Wenqing, however, backed down on this.

He made his stance clear to the man and two women looking at him.

Unfortunately, Yue Feng and his group seemed to have misunderstood Shang Wenqing's meaning.

In their view, this seemed to be a master and servant pair. The eighth-level Saint Body was probably the personal bodyguard of the man in black in front of them, so taking a step back was to tell them that whether or not to agree was up to the man in black.

That's a normal understanding.

But Shang Wenqing's meaning was different.

Dude, stop showing off. Open your eyes and see who the real tiger is. So far, no one has successfully shown off in front of Gu Moshi.

Let's take a step back first, so that he won't get caught in the crossfire if a fight breaks out.

because.

Although he didn't know who Yunyin, whom he had heard about before, was.

However, a businessman's intuition told him...

This person must be very important to Gu Yun.

Judging from the name, she should be a woman.

It's possible...

and so.

Daisy would never give it to them.

even.

From what Gu Yun had just said, he believed that Gu Yun had also vaguely discerned another layer of information.

The woman in blue in front of me is very likely an elf.

However, since Xiao Li isn't here, it's unclear whether he's a half-elf or a pure-blooded elf.

But no matter what.

This unexpected encounter is unlikely to end so simply.

Gu Yun removed the shadow beneath his feet, turned to face him, his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, and chuckled softly.

"of course."

"of course."

“The bond between people of the same clan is understandable.”

"Although not human."

He ignored the surprise and seriousness that flashed across the eyes of the three people in front of him.

Gu Yun continued.

"Elder Yue, is that right?"

"No need to be so defensive."

"Let's be frank with each other and get straight to the point. Your apprentice must also be an elf, right? Don't pretend you didn't know."

"In that case, I'll ask your disciple a few questions. If I can answer them, it'll only cost two hundred star coins. Why not give this half-elf woman to you?"

"I'll consider you my friend."
