Chapter 110 Exchange Meeting
Everyone turned to look. The brown-haired youth stared at Murong Ying with a grin and said, "Junior Sister Murong, could it be that you've fallen for that Li Taibai?"
"Chen Yang, what nonsense are you spouting!" Murong Yingzhen was furious.
Seeing that she was about to explode, Chen Yang quickly smiled apologetically, "I admit I misspoke, don't be angry! Don't be angry!"
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Fushu Courtyard hall. One by one, everyone looked towards the entrance, their expressions filled with astonishment. The two women beside Murong Ying stared wide-eyed. Upon seeing the newcomer, Murong Ying's anger vanished, replaced by joy.
"Mr. Li Bai."
Chen Yang also looked towards the door, and the moment he saw the person's face clearly, he felt his heart inexplicably race.
God!
There are such perfect people in this world.
With ink-black hair and white robes, tall and elegant, she stood like a jade tree standing between heaven and earth. A gentle breeze blew, causing her white robes to flutter, making her appear like a celestial being descended to earth, her beauty unparalleled.
Chen Yang was so stunned that he didn't even notice when the gourd in his hand fell to the ground.
Murong Ying had already walked up to Gu Yan: "Mr. Li Bai, I thought you weren't coming. Please take a seat!"
Murong Ying asked Gu Yan to sit down.
As soon as Gu Yan sat down, someone next to him greeted him.
"My name is Liu Xu. I have long admired Mr. Li Bai's name," said the green-clad woman who had been sitting next to Murong Ying, looking at Gu Yan with a shy expression.
"Friend Liu Dao!"
Gu Yan's voice stirred everyone's hearts.
He's so handsome, and even his voice is so pleasant.
"This humble woman, Sun Hong, greets Mr. Li Bai." The woman in yellow who had been sitting next to Murong Ying bowed to Gu Yan.
Then the others eagerly introduced themselves to Gu Yan. Although everyone in the hall was a sixth-grade alchemist, their cultivation levels differed, and Gu Yan was the strongest. It was normal for everyone to value him. However, if it weren't for Gu Yan's appearance, the crowd wouldn't have been so enthusiastic.
Now, all the women in the hall are staring at Gu Yan intently, almost forgetting why they came here in the first place.
Even men can be completely captivated by her, like Chen Yang, who previously teased Murong Ying about Gu Yan.
Upon seeing this scene, Murong Ying wondered if she should have invited Mr. Li Bai over. This had brought her so many rivals in love.
What a blunder!
"Alright, everyone, let's begin!" Murong Ying stood up. "I'll start by throwing out an idea."
With that, she waved her hand, and three items floated in front of her. The three items were a magical beast core emitting a red flame, a spirit herb that looked like a transparent jellyfish, and a fruit that looked like many tumors clustered together.
"These three items are what I have acquired over the past few years: the crystal core of the level seven Fire Cloud Sparrow, the Moon Mother Spirit Grass, and this succulent Tai Sui Fruit. I don't need to explain their value to you all. I want to use them to exchange for a Dragon Soul Fruit that is over three thousand years old and a Rejuvenating Wood."
After she finished speaking, she looked around. Some people had what she wanted, and some didn't. Some people might not want what she offered, so they couldn't make a deal. For example, Gu Yan actually had the three-thousand-year-old Dragon Soul Fruit she wanted, but Gu Yan didn't need what she offered.
"Fellow Daoist Murong, I do have a piece of Soul-Returning Wood. Can I exchange this piece of Soul-Returning Wood for your Moon Mother Spirit Grass?" said a long-eared old man in a gray robe in the corner.
He raised one hand, and a piece of dead wood, about the length of a palm, floated in front of him. At first glance, the piece of wood looked like an ordinary dead branch, but only by scanning it with his divine sense could one discover its extraordinary nature.
Murong Ying seemed quite satisfied with the piece of Resurrection Wood. With a flick of her hand, the Moon Mother Spirit Grass flew towards the long-eared old man. The long-eared old man also flicked his hand, and the Resurrection Wood in front of him flew towards Murong Ying.
Murong Ying completed one transaction, and the others pondered for a moment. Then, one person stepped forward and exchanged a level-seven Fire Cloud Sparrow's crystal core with Murong Ying. She didn't exchange the remaining Succulent Tai Sui Fruit. This was normal, so she accepted the remaining Succulent Tai Sui Fruit and let the others continue trading.
The woman named Liu Xu was the second to take out her collected treasures: a bottle of thousand-year-old wood spirit milk and a thunder spirit pearl.
These two items were quickly sold, and the third and fourth people successively displayed their own treasures...
Some people exchanged items they were satisfied with, while others offered items that no one wanted.
Seeing that Gu Yan didn't move, Murong Ying asked him, "Didn't Mr. Li Bai have anything that interested you?"
Gu Yan shook her head.
One by one, everyone brought out their treasures, leaving only Gu Yan. All eyes were on Gu Yan. With a wave of his hand, more than ten treasures, radiating various colors of light, appeared in everyone's sight. Upon seeing the treasures he had taken out, everyone was stunned.
What a huge piece of Ice Flame Jade Marrow! And this Dragon Soul Fruit, it must be six thousand years old! And this Fate-Born Flower, its colors have already turned seven colors…
My darlings, they're all treasures!
Murong Ying's eyes gleamed as she stared at the Dragon Soul Fruit.
Upon seeing these items, someone immediately asked, "Mr. Li Bai, how will you exchange these things?"
"I want the Nine-Leaf Pure Heart Lotus, the Ten-Thousand-Year Tear Bodhi, and the Soul-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Wood," Gu Yan said.
Upon hearing these things, everyone's excitement seemed to be extinguished by ice water; none of them showed any reaction.
"Does Mr. Li Bai only want these three things? Can we exchange the others?" asked the female alchemist named Sun Hong.
Gu Yan shook her head: "Nothing else is needed."
Sun Hong showed a look of disappointment.
Gu Yan glanced around at the crowd and saw that they were all tempted but not taking any action, probably because none of them had what he wanted. So he collected all the treasures and said to everyone, "You can all remember these. If you ever find something I want, just contact me."
"Oh, right, even information is fine. If I'm interested, exchanging information isn't out of the question."
"I've remembered what Mr. Li Bai said. I'll let you know if I get any news," Sun Hong said with a smile.
"Although I don't have the items you requested, Mr. Li Bai, perhaps my old man does. I'll ask him when I get back," Chen Yang said.
"I'll go ask my master too," said the female alchemist named Liu Xu.
Murong Ying glanced at Gu Yan and said to the others, "Alright, that's all for today's trade fair. If anyone has other matters to attend to, I won't keep you any longer."
Everyone stood up, and the long-eared old man was the first to leave, followed by the others. Sun Hong, Liu Xu, and the other women were reluctant to part with Gu Yan, and the alchemist named Chen Yang also looked reluctant, turning back every few steps as he left.
Gu Yan was about to leave when Murong Ying called out to him with a smile, "Mr. Li Bai, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
So Gu Yan stayed.
