373. Chapter 372: Self-Created Golden Cudgel

"I don't know if the little friend still has top-grade spirit fire on him?" Seeing that the top-grade spirit fire had already been traded away, someone in the crowd asked unwillingly.

"No more. With the rarity of top-grade spirit fire, it is already very rare for me to have two on hand. How could there be more?"

"But I still have many upper-grade spirit fires and middle-grade spirit fires on hand. You can consider it." Long Xuan smiled.

In fact, he still had one top-grade spirit fire on hand, but he was not prepared to use it for trading. It might be useful in the alchemy competition.

Hearing this, the man revealed a look of disappointment and sat back down.

Next, the spirit fires of various qualities on Long Xuan's table were quickly snatched up by people. Spirit fire is placed in the alchemist trading conference, and it is indeed not worried about selling.

Long Xuan collected a large number of treasures, but the only thing that made him regret was that divine beast essence blood and peerless fine wine were not found in this trading conference.

There is no shortage of high-quality fine wine, but there are too few peerless fine wines whose quality is high enough to make the Wine Gu transform.

Fine wine is divided into four qualities: lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, and top-grade. The lowest quality of fine wine that can make the Wine Gu transform must be top-grade fine wine, and it cannot be ordinary top-grade fine wine.

Since top-grade fine wine was not found here, he could only try his luck elsewhere.

However, when all the spirit fires on the table were swept away, he still said unwillingly: "Since no one has top-grade fine wine, does anyone have news about top-grade fine wine? I am willing to exchange it with middle-grade spirit fire."

As soon as this was said, many people's minds became active. Exchanging a piece of news for a middle-grade spirit fire is undoubtedly very profitable. The opportunity is rare, and soon someone raised their hand:

"I know the whereabouts of a kind of top-grade fine wine."

"A piece of news can be exchanged for a middle-grade spirit fire, what you said can be true!"

The speaker was a thin old man, looking at him with expectant eyes.

Long Xuan smiled: "There are so many Third-Grade Alchemists supervising here, how can I break my promise?"

"I don't think you dare!" The thin old man laughed, and soon told him about the whereabouts of the top-grade fine wine via soul transmission.

However, Long Xuan only heard a few words before his face sank.

To avoid being deceived, there was a small opening in the insect-raising bag at his waist during the transaction, and a Honesty Gu was crawling inside.

At this time, this Honesty Gu was very angry and was about to crawl out of the insect-raising bag. Long Xuan hurriedly held down the insect-raising bag.

"Enough! Your news was made up by yourself. Are you really treating me as a fool?" Long Xuan looked at him with a dark face and said.

Hearing this, the thin old man's face changed immediately, and a look of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

He did want to use a piece of fake news to cheat a middle-grade spirit fire, but he didn't expect that this person would see through it easily. This was far beyond his expectation. He was still wondering how his lie was seen through in his heart.

However, regarding his reputation, how could he say nothing, so he immediately decided to bite back and roar loudly:

"Good! You didn't keep your promise after hearing the whereabouts of the top-grade fine wine. In order to save a middle-grade spirit fire, you actually slandered my news as fake. It's really a good calculation."

"I said how could you be willing to exchange a piece of news for a middle-grade spirit fire? It turns out that you never intended to give the middle-grade spirit fire to others from the beginning! You can't be too shameless as a person."

The thin old man was anxious, his eyes were red, and the fingers pointing at Long Xuan were trembling. Such acting was simply superb.

Many alchemists were deceived by his excellent acting, and then looked at Long Xuan with suspicious eyes, really thinking that he slandered the old man's news as fake in order to renege on the debt.

Between the strong and the weak, people will subconsciously believe the weak; between the seller and the buyer, people will subconsciously believe the buyer. This is the case at this time.

Long Xuan was suddenly laughed at by anger. Seeing that everyone looked at him with suspicious eyes, he knew that if he couldn't prove himself, no one would dare to trade with him next.

Originally, he didn't want to expose the Honesty Gu, but under such circumstances, it was obviously impossible for him not to expose the Honesty Gu.

"It's really unreasonable. If I didn't have the ability to judge the truth or falsehood of the news, how could I dare to do this kind of transaction."

Saying that, Long Xuan opened the insect-raising bag. A head of a Honesty Gu soon crawled out of the insect-raising bag, and the head was looking at the thin old man with angry eyes.

Long Xuan hurriedly pushed the Honesty Gu that was about to run out back, not letting others see the full picture, and then turned to look at the thin old man and sneered:

"Now what else do you have to say? Do you still want to question whether the Honesty Gu of the Qian Clan Merchant Association can deceive people?"

As expected, all the alchemists withdrew their suspicious eyes at this time, and then looked at the thin old man with contemptuous eyes.

The alchemists closest to him moved their chairs away, ashamed to be with him.

At this time, the truth has come to light. It was this thin old man who was preparing to use fake news to cheat treasures.

Many alchemists felt lingering fear in their hearts. They were also preparing to use fake news to cheat treasures just now, but they were preempted by this thin old man. They were also glad that he stepped on the thunder in front, otherwise their reputation would definitely stink today.

Seeing that Honesty Gu, the thin old man stood up instantly, his face was pale, and he kept scolding in his heart, why didn't he say he had a Honesty Gu earlier? Why didn't he say it earlier? If he had taken out the Honesty Gu earlier, he would have no courage to cheat people! He was really going to be miserable by him today!"

The thin old man's face was blue and white. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with contemptuous eyes, his face became extremely ugly. He understood that his reputation would probably stink today.

He could no longer bear the eyes of the crowd, shook his sleeves, and slipped away in a gray manner.

"I didn't expect him to do such a dirty thing. I misread him. Don't misunderstand, I don't have a deep friendship with him."

"Hmph! I saw that his character had problems long ago. I don't know how many times he has done this. I guess many people who bought his pills have been cheated by him."

"It's really knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts. I misunderstood that little friend. I am really ashamed."

A group of people in the room began to say cool words, and their words were full of contempt for the thin old man.

This was just a small episode. Just when Long Xuan was about to walk down, a female soul transmission came into his mind: "Master, wait a minute. I happen to have news about a kind of top-grade fine wine, but it is a bit difficult to obtain."

"Since you have a Honesty Gu, you can completely judge whether what I said is true or false."

Hearing this, Long Xuan stopped, and his eyes looked at a beautiful Third-Grade Alchemist in the corner.

"Just say it. I only need the news to be true. I don't consider the difficulty of obtaining it or the danger for the time being." Long Xuan replied via soul transmission, looking forward to her next news.

"Okay! Then I'll say it. I can tell you very definitely that in the Ten Thousand Monkey Mountain, those monkeys have refined a lot of monkey wine."

"Among them is the rare ten-thousand-year monkey wine, which even the Monkey King is reluctant to drink."

"Ten-thousand-year monkey wine is also ranked among the top of all top-grade fine wines. I heard that drinking it often has the heaven-defying effect of slightly improving wisdom, which absolutely meets your requirements."

"But I must remind you that there are Fourth-Tier spirit monkeys on the Ten Thousand Monkey Mountain, and there is more than one. The ten-thousand-year monkey wine is the treasure of those Fourth-Tier spirit monkeys. The difficulty of obtaining it must be extremely great, and it is extremely dangerous. Otherwise, the ten-thousand-year monkey wine would have been snatched away by humans long ago."

"If you want to have ideas about ten-thousand-year monkey wine, you'd better think twice."

The beautiful alchemist reminded kindly via soul transmission.

Long Xuan probed his soul power into his insect-raising bag, and seeing that the Honesty Gu had no reaction, he knew that the news was true, and he was happy in his heart.

It seems that after the alchemy competition, he still has to go to this Ten Thousand Monkey Mountain, Long Xuan secretly decided in his heart.

"Very good. My Honesty Gu tells me that your news is true. The middle-grade spirit fire is yours."

Long Xuan took out a middle-grade spirit fire from his storage ring again, and then threw it to the beautiful Gu cultivator.

The beautiful Gu cultivator smiled and took it. After checking the spirit fire in the bottle, she happily put the spirit fire into her storage bag.

Long Xuan walked down from the stage, and the third one to go on stage was the beautiful Gu cultivator.

After the beautiful Gu cultivator walked to the table, she took out a fragmentary formula from her storage bag and smiled: "This is a Fourth-Grade fragmentary artifact formula, the quality is top-grade, and the name happens to be in the missing part, so the name is unknown."

"But it can be seen from the figure that this is a staff-type spirit artifact."

"This artifact formula has lost about less than one-tenth of the part. The artifact formula is easier to complete than the pill formula. This fragmentary artifact formula handed over to an excellent artifact refiner can be completely repaired successfully."

"To avoid someone memorizing the artifact formula, I only show half of the part."

"I want a Third-Grade pill formula. If there are many people who want to trade with me, the one with higher pill formula value wins. Now who wants to trade with me?"

The beautiful alchemist looked at the people below with expectant eyes.

However, she was destined to be disappointed. After she finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time below, as if a crow had flown over, and the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward.

She also blushed a little at this time, not expecting that the first treasure she took out would be passed, which really made her a bit faceless.

At this time, the Nine Prince finally smiled and broke the silent atmosphere, saying: "You came to the wrong place. I remember you are dual mastery of pills and artifacts? But this is a Third-Grade Alchemist trading conference. Everyone here is a Third-Grade Alchemist. Who would be interested in an artifact refiner's things?"

"And what you took out is a fragmentary formula. The truth or falsehood of such things is really difficult to judge. Just writing a bunch of materials on paper can be regarded as a fragmentary formula."

"What's more, what you took out is an artifact formula, which has exceeded the scope of what all alchemists have learned, so it is even more impossible for anyone to judge the truth or falsehood. In this case, who would dare to trade with you?"

A group of alchemists below nodded slightly. Although the artifact formula is useless to alchemists, the Fourth-Tier top-grade artifact formula is rare. Taking it to trade with a Fourth-Grade Alchemist might be able to exchange for good things.

What really made them hesitate was not that this was an artifact formula, but that they really had no way to judge the truth or falsehood of this fragmentary formula, so the scene was a bit cold for a while.

The only person who can judge the truth or falsehood of this fragmentary formula is probably Long Xuan.

Long Xuan saw that there was progress on this fragmentary formula, so he knew that this fragmentary formula was true.

Originally, he was not interested in the artifact formula, but seeing that the stick drawn on this artifact formula was a bit like a golden cudgel, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

At this time, he suddenly had an idea that opened his mind.

In this world, once a heaven-defying spirit artifact is born, it can also attract thunder tribulation.

Can he research the golden cudgel of his previous life, and also possess the heaven-defying ability to be large or small, small can become an embroidery needle, large can pierce a hole in the sky, the weight can reach ten thousand catties, and those who are hit will die or be crippled.

Such a heaven-defying top-grade spirit artifact should be able to attract thunder tribulation, right?

If it can attract the Ninth Thunder Tribulation Rebirth Thunder, maybe it can let the Calamity Gu swallow the Rebirth Thunder to complete the second transformation.

Although he uses a knife and not a stick, I think the Monkey King of the Ten Thousand Monkey Mountain will like the golden cudgel very much.

How about he pretends to be a Fourth-Grade Artifact Refiner and trades the golden cudgel with the Monkey King of the Ten Thousand Monkey Mountain for ten-thousand-year monkey wine?

Open and honest trading is much safer than stealing. Besides, he has no ability to steal ten-thousand-year monkey wine from a group of Fourth-Tier spirit monkeys.

Using the golden cudgel to exchange for ten-thousand-year monkey wine might be a good choice. This move can transform the Calamity Gu and transform the Wine Gu, which is simply killing multiple birds with one stone.

Once this idea emerged, Long Xuan immediately intended to trade this fragmentary artifact formula.

He also needs to refer to the self-created golden cudgel artifact formula. This staff-type top-grade artifact formula in the hands of the beautiful alchemist must have great reference significance. (Chapter end)
