With the Eight Immortals' magical treasures in hand, even a mortal like myself! Ha!
Chapter 11 The Invisible Cage
The fifth and sixth floors were for trading magic treasures and talismans worth 500 spirit stones or more. Gu Qing and Dong Xuan'er followed them all the way to the sixth floor. Then, led by the old man in the green robe, they met Madam Lan, who was wearing a light blue robe, was plump and mature, and had a touch of charm.
When Madam Lan saw a large burlap sack placed on the clean table, she looked quite surprised and didn't understand what was going on.
What displeased Mrs. Lan the most was that the sack was covered in dirt, which had soiled the expensive carpet on the floor.
You should know that this carpet is made from the fur of a first-tier demon beast, and each one is worth dozens of spirit stones, which is equivalent to the income of a Qi Refining cultivator for several years.
"Madam Lan, a big deal! Exactly fifty top-grade Dan Yuan Ginseng plants!" The old man in the green robe whispered in Madam Lan's ear, which brought a smile back to her face.
"Please have a seat, gentlemen. Quickly brew a pot of the finest Longyi tea." Madam Lan's change of expression was so swift that it was almost imperceptible; now she even found the burlap sack much more agreeable.
Madam Lan then looked Gu Qing up and down, subtly catching a glimpse of Huang Fenggu's clothes beneath the gray robe. This surprised her, and she asked, "Are you two really going to sell this batch of medicinal herbs to our Star Dust Pavilion?"
"What, does your Stardust Pavilion not have enough spirit stones?" Gu Qing asked calmly, his gaze involuntarily sweeping over Madam Lan, noticing that she was quite attractive.
"How could that be? Could you give us some time to inspect the goods?" Madam Lan asked.
Gu Qing nodded, "Of course it's acceptable."
So the old man in the green robe took out the various Dan Yuan Ginseng plants in front of Gu Qing, exactly fifty plants in total.
Moreover, each plant was covered with fresh soil, indicating that it had just been dug up not long ago.
Madam Lan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Does Fellow Daoist have a medicinal herb garden?"
"Of course I do. What, are you going to ask where my medicinal herbs come from?" Gu Qing rested his chin on his hand and laughed, "That'll have to see what Madam is capable of."
Madam Lan felt a little uncomfortable under Gu Qing's intense gaze, so she casually changed the subject, saying, "Not at all, these are the guests' secrets, and we naturally wouldn't pry."
"Our Star Dust Pavilion is willing to purchase fifty Dan Yuan Ginseng plants for one hundred mid-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"
"Sure, by the way, do you have any pill formulas for advancing to the Core Formation stage?" Gu Qing stated his needs.
Madam Lan found it strange that Gu Qing, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would need a Core Formation cultivator's pill formula.
Although it was strange, Madam Lan did not ask any further questions. She simply shook her head and said, "We don't have such a precious pill formula, but we do have pill formulas for the Foundation Establishment stage. I wonder if you would be interested?"
Foundation Establishment stage? Gu Qing shook his head, clearly not interested in the pill formulas for Foundation Establishment stage.
Seeing this, Madam Lan was somewhat disappointed, but then asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you need any talismans, magic tools, formations, or the like? Our Star Dust Pavilion can provide them."
Gu Qing shook his head after hearing this, and simply said, "Let's settle the payment in spirit stones!"
Madam Lan was somewhat disappointed to see that Gu Qing didn't need anything, considering that this was a big customer with spirit stones.
However, it's impossible to force someone to buy something for them if they don't need it!
A moment later, Gu Qing left Star Dust Pavilion with over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones.
Seeing Gu Qing leave, the old man in the green robe asked, "Madam Lan, should we send someone to follow him and take a look?"
After a moment of contemplation, Madam Lan finally nodded and said, "Send someone to follow them and take a look. The person who can produce so many spirit stones must have a powerful backing. Don't offend them."
"Yes!" the old man in the green robe nodded in response.
On the other side, after leaving Stardust Pavilion, Dong Xuan'er started making a fuss: "Senior brother, don't forget our agreement."
"How could I forget? I'll take you to order a custom-made magical artifact right now," Gu Qing said with a smile.
"Senior brother, you're the best." Dong Xuan'er leaned close to him, looking very happy.
And so, Dong Xuan'er and Gu Qing walked around and stopped, finally managing to order a set of bracelets at a shop. The order fee alone cost five mid-grade spirit stones.
After the customization is completed, five more mid-grade spirit stones will be needed, bringing the total to a full thousand spirit stones, which is enough to buy a top-tier magic weapon of the treasure level.
Dong Xuan'er was overjoyed, but the custom-made bracelet would take some time.
Gu Qing had an idea in mind: to take Dong Xuan'er and fly north, away from Yue Kingdom, to see other countries.
After flying for only half an hour, a communication talisman was delivered to Gu Qing. It was a communication talisman sent by the Old Ancestor Hong Fu.
Gu Qing didn't dare to be negligent and directly read the information inside. Afterwards, his expression wasn't very good. Hong Fu didn't allow them to go to other countries.
"So, Hong Fu is secretly monitoring us?" Gu Qing wondered to himself.
At this moment, Dong Xuan'er poked her head out from behind and asked, "Senior brother, why did you suddenly stop?"
"Our master sent us a message telling us to go back, saying that we might have to leave earlier than planned and that we should return sooner," Gu Qing said, putting away the message talisman.
"Ah! So fast, it's only been a few days since we came out." Dong Xuan'er was clearly surprised.
Gu Qing felt somewhat helpless, as if an invisible cage was enveloping him. But there was nothing he could do about it; after all, he had shown off his skills.
"Let's go back." With that, Gu Qing rode his magical artifact and returned with Dong Xuan'er.
After waiting in the market for a few days and obtaining the top-tier magical artifact, they flew towards the Yue Kingdom.
Gu Qing and Dong Xuan'er remained silent on the way, clearly neither of them had had enough fun.
Several days later, the two crossed the border between Yuanwu Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, and finally flew towards the sect.
Just as the two were about to enter the sect, Dong Xuan'er began to dodge and weave.
Upon seeing this, Gu Qing followed Dong Xuan'er's gaze and looked into the distance, where he saw a man and a woman flying out of the sect.
The man was very handsome, and the woman had a cool and aloof appearance, but she often smiled when she was with the man, which showed that she liked him very much.
The two were very intimate, like people deeply in love.
Dong Xuan'er seemed to be avoiding the man.
Seeing this, Gu Qing had a guess in his mind. He thought to himself, "Could this be Senior Brother Lu and Chen Qiaoqian? What a coincidence that we could run into each other here."
It's so late, and the two of them are still out. Could it be that the plot to steal the Foundation Establishment Pill is going to happen tonight?
That would be interesting.
"Senior brother, let's hurry into the valley. Look, it's getting late," Dong Xuan'er urged.
A playful smile appeared on Gu Qing's lips as he said, "No rush, I've discovered something interesting."
With that, Gu Qing flew towards the direction where Senior Brother Lu and Chen Qiaoqian were likely located.
