Chapter 489: Monkey-cunning Long Xuan
After the words fell, Long Xuan looked at the Gu Kings below with a smile. He didn't believe that this group of people wouldn't take the bait.
This was an open conspiracy. Who wouldn't be interested in a mysterious ancient tomb? This was not the past life. The ancient tombs here could be robbed at will.
After Long Xuan's voice fell, the people below really started to discuss. Facing the news of the ancient tomb, everyone showed a look of great interest, and some even showed burning gazes, looking greedy.
This trading method was strange. No one had ever taken the hidden location of an ancient tomb out to sell before.
What exactly was in the ancient tomb was unknown. There might be heaven-defying heavy treasures inside, or it might be a poor tomb. Many people died going in, but the treasures found were far from enough to make up for the losses.
This was opening a blind box for them. If they won the bet, they would get rich overnight. If they lost the bet, they would suffer heavy losses. Many Gu Kings who liked to take risks just liked this kind of blind box opening game.
After discussing for a while below, Qian Zhangjiang was the first to speak: "Hehe, it's the first time I've seen someone auction the hidden location of an ancient tomb at a trading conference. It's truly interesting."
"The reason why no one sold the hidden location of certain treasures before was because there was no way to judge the truth. One couldn't go for a walk in person."
"But today with me here, my honesty Gu can completely determine the authenticity of the news. I testify for this little friend. Everything he just said is absolutely true."
After Li Zhangjiang's words fell, everyone immediately looked at the honesty Gu on his shoulder. Seeing that its eyes didn't glow, they no longer had any doubts about the news of the ancient tomb at this time.
Because Long Xuan didn't say the reserve price, just said the highest bidder wins, many people developed the intention to pick up leaks. Therefore, the vast majority of Gu Kings in the arena transmitted their souls over and reported their prices.
For a time, the voices of hundreds of people immediately surged into Long Xuan's brain, almost making his head explode.
Fortunately, he had many split souls and could talk to many people at the same time without pressure, easily responding to all the voices.
"Little friend! I am willing to pay thirty Breaking King Pills to sell me the address of the ancient tomb, how about it?"
The soul transmission was an old man. Long Xuan knew his identity. He was the head of the Jiang Clan, one of the eight great clans of Xuan Yuan City.
As one of the eight great families of the imperial city of a super empire, one could imagine how strong the Jiang Clan was.
The Jiang Clan head was also a big spender. In order to get the address of the ancient tomb, he actually took out thirty Breaking King Pills in one breath, which really startled him.
He knew very well that Breaking King Pills didn't count for anything to him, but they were enough to be considered priceless things in the outside world, not to mention thirty of them. The price offered by this Jiang Clan head was already not low.
Long Xuan pretended to be tangled, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Alright, thirty Breaking King Pills it is."
"However, I will trade with you in public, and everyone will know that you have obtained the hidden address of the ancient tomb. By then, all families will send people to keep a close eye on the Jiang Clan."
"As long as you go to excavate the ancient tomb, the location of the ancient tomb will be exposed, and all families will inevitably go over to get a share of the pie. Your thirty Breaking King Pills will be paid in vain."
"How about you pretend to have failed the trade later, and we secretly trade outside? In this way, no one will suspect that your Jiang Clan has obtained the address of the ancient tomb." Long Xuan reminded kindly.
Upon hearing this, the Jiang Clan head suddenly realized and smiled and transmitted his soul: "You are truly thoughtful. That's right, the intelligence I bought with real money, how can I let others take advantage of it for nothing? Let's do as you say."
After the Jiang Clan head's voice fell, he sighed in public, pretending to have failed the trade, with an expression of extreme disappointment.
At the same time, Long Xuan also connected with the head of the Han Clan, one of the eight great clans of Xuan Yuan City.
"Little friend, my Han Clan is willing to take out five top-grade strange Gu. I don't know if the value is the highest in the whole arena?"
"It's not that the old man is stingy, it's just that this ancient tomb is unknown. Whether it is poor or rich, no one knows."
"And it is also full of dangers. It is possible that my Han Clan Gu cultivators will suffer heavy losses but gain nothing."
"Four top-grade strange Gu is already the highest price my Han Clan can offer." The Han Clan head looked at Long Xuan nervously and asked, clearly very interested in this ancient tomb and intending to spend a high price to take it down and try his luck.
Upon hearing this, Long Xuan was startled in his heart. Good guy, someone actually intended to take out five top-grade strange Gu to trade for his hidden location of the ancient tomb. It was truly a big deal.
Although all his Gu insects were self-created and he didn't look down on the Gu insects outside, top-grade Gu insects, even if he didn't use them himself, could be taken out to sell.
Top-grade strange Gu could be sold for a sky-high price no matter where they were taken.
At this time, Long Xuan showed a tangled expression. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: "To tell you the truth, your five top-grade strange Gu are not the highest value in the whole arena, but who makes me lack top-grade strange Gu?"
"I want these five top-grade strange Gu, but I suggest that we don't trade on the spot, otherwise everyone will know that you have obtained the address of the ancient tomb and will inevitably follow you."
"By then, once your Han Clan is exposed when excavating the ancient tomb, it will only be cheap for others, and these five top-grade strange Gu will also be wasted." "How about you pretend to be disappointed later and claim that the trade was not successful, and we trade outside?" Long Xuan reminded kindly.
"Good idea. The intelligence my Han Clan bought at a high price, how can I let others take advantage of it? Let's do as you say."
The Han Clan head's eyes brightened, but soon he pretended to be disappointed again, sitting in his original seat and sighing heavily.
At the same time, Long Xuan's major split souls had already completed trades with the heads of the other eight great clans and used the exact same rhetoric. The other clan heads also sighed heavily at this time, with expressions of extreme disappointment.
Long Xuan laughed secretly in his heart. He had never said from beginning to end that he would only trade with one person. It was they who misunderstood themselves. Truly a large patch of leeks.
He deliberately said he would trade with them outside just now, not because he was thinking for them. Once he traded with someone in public, how could the others take the bait?
Although doing so was a bit shameless and might make many people angry, his face was fake. Who would know who after going out? He was also not afraid of offending too many people here.
Of course, Long Xuan was not greedy enough to harvest the wealth of everyone. He only deceived the few major forces with the most wealth, and he directly rejected most people.
The price offered by this group of poor people was truly too low. If they could really win the bid, they probably wouldn't believe it themselves, and they would be exposed by then.
At this time, everyone in the whole arena gathered their gazes on the heads of the eight great clans of Xuan Yuan City, secretly guessing which family obtained the address of the ancient tomb.
The ancient tombs of powerhouses were deeply buried and grandly buried. Excavation work required a huge amount of manpower and material resources. Outsiders had many inconveniences in excavating tombs within the territory of the Xuan Yuan Empire. Only the strongest forces of the Xuan Yuan Empire would spend a high price to buy the address of the ancient tomb.
Therefore, everyone guessed that these eight clan heads were the ones most likely to win the bid.
However, seeing that these eight clan heads all showed expressions of extreme disappointment, shaking their heads and sighing there, everyone was confused again. Could it be that it wasn't them? If it wasn't them, who else could it be? Everyone subconsciously gathered their gazes on Qian Zhangjiang together again, understanding in their hearts.
Who had the most money here? That was undoubtedly this Multi-Treasure Merchant, and his expression didn't change at all. The person who bought the address of the ancient tomb should be him.
If Qian Zhangjiang could hear their inner voices at this time, he would definitely shout injustice.
He didn't have any interest in this ancient tomb at all, nor did he participate in the bidding with soul transmission.
He, this Multi-Treasure Merchant, only needed to constantly trade with people to safely obtain massive treasures. Why did he need to run to the ancient tomb to take risks? The dangerous situation in the ancient tomb was unknown. No matter how many treasures were in the tomb, he didn't want to risk his life. The richer people were, the more they cherished their lives.
Long Xuan only traded a piece of intelligence about the ancient tomb and walked down from the stage. After he went down, an old woman walked up to the stage to take over and put a pile of bottles and jars on the table...
Long Xuan sat back in his original seat, and Di Xin immediately transmitted her soul and asked: "Who exactly did you sell the news of the ancient tomb to? Why are they all showing expressions of disappointment?"
"Hehe! The heads of the eight great clans of Xuan Yuan City and some rich people all know the hidden location of the ancient tomb." Long Xuan laughed sinisterly.
Di Xin's eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief.
"You are truly unscrupulous!"
The trading conference ended in a flash. Long Xuan quickly completed the trades with that group of suckers using his major split souls, immediately changed back to his original appearance, and moved into an inn with Di Xin.
Di Xin was healing in a single room, while he hid in the space inside the Swallowing Heaven World Toad to study the Three-Yuan Heavy Water he just obtained from the trading conference.
After studying for a long time, he finally decided that this Three-Yuan Heavy Water should not be touched for the time being. According to his estimation, with his current realm, the success rate of swallowing Three-Yuan Heavy Water was infinitely close to zero.
One-Yuan Heavy Water was far weaker than Two-Yuan Heavy Water, and Two-Yuan Heavy Water was far weaker than Three-Yuan Heavy Water.
Shui Wuqing, such a powerhouse, had to bear the danger of backlash from time to time when swallowing Two-Yuan Heavy Water. One could imagine the difficulty of swallowing Three-Yuan Heavy Water.
He didn't forget that Three-Yuan Heavy Water was taken out of the storage ring by Qian Zhangjiang, not taken out of his body.
That is to say, Three-Yuan Heavy Water was an ownerless object and had not been swallowed by Qian Zhangjiang before.
Even Qian Zhangjiang, one of the top ten powerhouses in the Gu World, couldn't swallow Three-Yuan Heavy Water, so how could he, a small Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator, dare to set his sights on Three-Yuan Heavy Water?
He could only put Three-Yuan Heavy Water into the belly of the Swallowing Heaven World Toad to seal it, and wait until his strength was sufficient to make plans to swallow Three-Yuan Heavy Water.
The appearance of this heaven-defying heavy treasure, Three-Yuan Heavy Water, contained considerable treasure Qi. After the Swallowing Heaven World Toad absorbed the treasure Qi of Three-Yuan Heavy Water, the space and volume inside its body increased by another circle. Long Xuan revealed a slight smile.
