With the Eight Immortals' magical treasures in hand, even a mortal like myself! Ha!

Of course, the Star Dust Pavilion is backed by the Heavenly Star Sect, which is a major sect of array formations in the Yuanwu Kingdom and naturally has Core Formation cultivators.

However, Core Formation cultivators don't usually stay in small places like Star Dust Pavilion; they generally cultivate in their own caves. It's already quite good that a late Foundation Establishment cultivator is stationed in a small place like Star Dust Pavilion.

Therefore, it is quite normal that Madam Lan is somewhat lacking in confidence now that there are no Core Formation cultivators present.

However, Madam Lan was not stupid; she had secretly invited her ancestor to come and oversee things.

This was the first time Gu Qing had seen Madam Lan like this; the composed and unhurried Madam Lan of the past was much more likable.

However, if it's a deal, Madam Lan in front of us is more suitable.

Tieguai Li didn't speak, but kept his eyes fixed on Madam Lan, and it was this gaze that made Madam Lan feel extremely pressured.

"We've come to sell some useless items, and we hope Madam Lan can offer a good price. Let's take it one item at a time, starting with this iron essence," Gu Qing said with a smile.

A bead of sweat appeared on Madam Lan's forehead, but she still examined the iron essence in her hand for a while before offering a fair price: "This piece of iron essence is of superior quality and large in size. Our Star Dust Pavilion is willing to offer five thousand spirit stones to purchase it."

Gu Qing nodded at the offer of 5,000 spirit stones, and then took out several other types of ore to trade, all of which fetched good prices.

After the ore transaction, worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, was completed, a beam of light flew in through the outside window. It was an old man dressed in a blue and white robe, with a little girl beside him. The little girl was looking around with curious eyes.

Upon seeing Madam Lan, she called out, "Aunt Lan!"

Upon seeing the old man in blue and white robes, Madam Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stood up with a smile to introduce him: "This is Elder Ge of the Heavenly Star Sect. This is a senior who just arrived and wants to sell some materials."

Tieguai Li only glanced at Ge Laozu, and Ge Laozu's body stiffened, and he also felt a powerful sense of oppression.

This surprised Elder Ge slightly, realizing that Tieguai Li's cultivation was above his own.

"Hehehe, how dare I, Ge, call myself 'Ancestor' in front of such a senior!"

After a brief investigation, Elder Ge was surprised to find a late-stage Core Formation cultivator here. Moreover, his attire seemed somewhat unusual, and he wondered where the cultivator came from.

Fortunately, when Tieguai Li transformed into the patriarch of the Qin family, he changed his appearance directly; otherwise, the patriarch Ge in front of him might have recognized the patriarch of the Qin family.

When Madam Lan heard her ancestor address the other party as "senior," she was slightly surprised. It seemed that an extraordinary person had come today.

"Haha, it's alright, we can just call each other fellow Daoists. This is my nephew, he wanted to sell something and insisted on dragging me along, I had no choice but to agree," Tieguai Li laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Elder Ge laughed and said, "Then I will presumptuously address you as a fellow Daoist. You can leave the business to the younger generation. Why don't we go upstairs and exchange a few words?"

"Of course!" Tieguai Li stood up, leaning on his cane, and went upstairs. Old Master Ge looked at Madam Lan and instructed her, "Take good care of the guests." Then he followed her up to the seventh floor of the attic.

"Phew!" Madam Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tieguai Li leave. It seems that Tieguai Li really put a lot of pressure on Madam Lan.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry to have amused you, fellow Daoist. Besides these ores, I wonder if you have anything else to sell?" Madam Lan said with a confident smile, while also feeling a bit of anticipation, hoping that Gu Qing would bring out something good.

Seeing Madam Lan regain her confidence, Gu Qing felt a little sorry, but in the end she still took out the items from the storage bag one by one.

"Here are two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs. What do you think of the price?" Gu Qing didn't mince words and took out the wooden box, saying that the contents were thousand-year-old medicinal herbs.

One of them was a Ganoderma lucidum, which eventually returned to Gu Qing's hands after many twists and turns. This just goes to show how unpredictable life can be.

I don't know what happened to Qi Yunxiao. This Huangjingzhi was originally meant for Qi Yunxiao, but it was later taken by the Qin family patriarch.

Then Gu Qing dealt with the Qin family patriarch, and Huang Jingzhi naturally returned to Gu Qing's hands.

When Madam Lan heard that it was a thousand-year-old spiritual herb, and there were two of them, a look of surprise appeared on her face. You should know that the market outside Yuanwu Kingdom is so lively right now because of the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

This excitement has lasted for more than a year, but no one expected that a thousand-year-old medicinal herb would actually appear.

"Hehehe, no problem, I'll definitely give you a fair price." Madam Lan smiled and took out one of the wooden boxes. When she opened it, she found a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and a medicinal fragrance wafted around the pavilion.

"This is just an ordinary thousand-year-old spiritual herb, right? How about two thousand spirit stones? What do you think, fellow Daoist?" Madam Lan asked tentatively. Fortunately, Tieguai Li was not here, otherwise she would have quoted a price of three thousand spirit stones.

Upon hearing the price of two thousand spirit stones, Gu Qing did not haggle, but simply nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Seeing this, Madam Lan was still unsure of Gu Qing's intentions, so she could only pick up the second treasure box to examine it.

When the second wooden box was opened, a faint blue-green light shimmered on the plants.

"Hiss~ A thousand-year-old lotus branch, this is a good thing." Madam Lan's face showed a look of joy, and her eyes even seemed to hint at wanting to possess the thousand-year-old spiritual herb.

It seems that this lotus branch is of great use to Madam Lan, otherwise she would not have shown such a discomposure.

"The Star Dust Pavilion offered four thousand spirit stones for this green lotus branch," Madam Lan said.

Gu Qing slapped his thigh and started calculating. He hadn't expected that the prices of the same thousand-year-old spiritual herbs would differ by more than double. However, considering the rarity of both, the price seemed acceptable.

Gu Qing finally nodded in agreement to the price, and after much deliberation, he took out the level-five demon core for appraisal.

This time, Gu Qing didn't reveal what he had brought out, but simply let Madam Lan see for herself. Madam Lan couldn't help but feel a little expectant, wondering what good things the other party would bring out.

Opening the wooden box, and seeing an object even larger than a pill, Madam Lan asked uncertainly, "Is this a pill?"

The monsters in Tiannan are extremely rare, and only level 5 monsters have demon cores, so it's normal that Madam Lan has never seen a demon core.

Seeing this, Gu Qing could only introduce it himself, saying, "This is a level five demon core. What price can Star Dust Pavilion offer?"

"A level five demon core?" Madam Lan stood up abruptly and asked incredulously.

After all, level five demonic beasts are equivalent to Core Formation cultivators, so it's no wonder that Madam Lan was so surprised.

"This... I'm afraid I can't make that decision myself. If you're not in a hurry, I'll go up and ask the Ancestor," Madam Lan said.

"Okay! Go ahead!" Gu Qing didn't stop the other party. Since the other party didn't know the price, it was perfectly normal to ask for clarification.

And so, Madam Lan took the demon core up to the seventh floor, and after a while, she came down and said, "Our Star Dust Pavilion is willing to buy this demon core for six thousand spirit stones."

Six thousand spirit stones? Demon cores are really overpriced in Tiannan, considering that two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs only cost six thousand spirit stones.

This reminded Gu Qing of the Chaotic Star Sea, which truly was a wonderful place.

Ten thousand, two thousand, four thousand spirit stones, six thousand spirit stones, all added up to only twenty-two thousand spirit stones, which is two hundred and twenty mid-grade spirit stones. It seems that the road to earning spirit stones is still long.
