Chapter 6

~8 min read 1,530 words

After more than a month, Long Xuan returned to this market again, but this time he was no longer a buyer, but gloriously became a small stall owner.

Long Xuan covered his face, wore a large hat, found a place to spread a white cloth, and placed nine insect jars containing Little Strong Gu on it.

He himself placed a self-made folding chair beside it and sat on it.

Afterwards, he began to think about the pricing of Little Strong Gu; it is worth mentioning that this world can be said to have currency, and it can also be said to have no currency.

Because spirit stones can only be used to exchange for cheap materials, expensive things cannot be exchanged with spirit stones, and can only be obtained through barter.

Strictly speaking, spirit stones are not the general currency of this world.

Because spirit stones are definitely irregular in shape, some are large and some are small, and the spiritual power concentration is also different.

Is it okay for someone to absorb half of the spiritual power and then take it out to spend? Since spirit stones have differences, it is even more impossible to become currency.

Spirit stones are only equivalents in this world; using spirit stones for trading is equivalent to barter, not buying with money. So spirit stones cannot exchange for things of great value.

Also because of the non-uniformity of spirit stones, the prices of various materials are negotiated with each other, not a unified price in one place.

Pricing can only be in a rough range, and stall owners have a high degree of freedom.

But Long Xuan considered that the birth of a new thing should first open the market, and the pricing should not be too high.

So after thinking about it, Long Xuan temporarily set the price of this Little Strong Gu, which can be priced at will, at three hundred spirit stones, intending to wait for the reputation to ferment before raising the price.

Of course, the quality of the spirit stones must be passable; it cannot be the kind that is about to be sucked dry by people, nor can it be the kind that is only the size of a little finger.

The first time setting up a stall, there are a few things on the stall, which looks a bit shabby, but there is a long time to come, and the things on his stall will eventually be enriched.

Afterwards, he placed the sign with the function and price of Little Strong Gu on the stall, waiting for the arrival of the first buyer, waiting for the willing to take the bait.

The first time being a stall owner, he felt very novel.

His arrival also immediately attracted the attention of other stall owners; the stall owner sitting right next to him was a spirited old man, who opened his mouth after seeing the things placed on his stall:

"Low-grade Gu worms? Gu worms are precious for their essence, not their quantity; the weakest low-grade Gu worms are not popular."

"What's more, what you refined is not the Five Poisons, but very unpopular cockroaches, so there are even fewer willing traders."

"There are quite a few scattered cultivators selling medium-grade Gu worms in this market, and even three scattered cultivators selling high-grade Gu worms, and they are all unique Gu worms."

"People selling low-grade unique Gu worms are also everywhere; your things have no competitiveness at all."

"It doesn't matter! Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys; as long as there is one trader, I can open the sales channel." Long Xuan said very confidently.

He has great confidence in the Gu worms he researched.

Li Laodao didn't care; he really didn't believe that such a young little doll could research how powerful Gu worms.

Although the sign wrote the function of the Gu, he only thought it was an exaggeration.

How could a low-grade Gu worm possess such a strong anti-strike ability? Such a powerful ability could not appear on a low-grade Gu worm.

However, just as he was about to reply, Long Xuan's first customer walked to his stall, and Li Laodao closed his mouth sensibly.

Li Er Niu picked up one of the Gu jars, opened it and looked at the Gu worm inside, and then looked at the sign filled with handwriting on the stall, showing a look of surprise.

He had never seen this kind of Gu worm before; it should be a new variety researched out, no doubt.

The birth of new Gu always arouses people's curiosity; the newly created Gu worms might be very strong, or very weak, or some strange abilities might appear.

But new Gu has not been tested in actual combat, and no combat tactics have been developed, and no one knows which Gu worms are most suitable to match with.

Therefore, few people are willing to be the first to eat crabs.

But there are also benefits; no one understands a Gu species that has just been born, let alone knows how to restrain it.

Danger often comes from the unknown; possessing a Gu worm that the enemy has never seen before can often win by surprise.

He was preparing to have a one-on-one fight with a deadly rival; the one who understands you best is always your enemy; the deadly rival knows all your trump cards, so possessing a Gu worm that the opponent can never understand might be a good choice.

Li Er Niu showed an interested look, looked at Long Xuan and asked: "Your Little Strong Gu can make people possess an immortal body, is it true?"

"Don't? I never said that." Long Xuan waved his hand to deny it.

"I have written it very clearly; it is only that conventional strikes of the same rank will not die; after all, it is a low-grade Gu worm, and there are too many ways to kill you of the same rank."

"For example, your heart is pierced by a sword; as long as you have Little Strong Gu, you won't die, but if your heart is shredded into pieces, how can you not die?"

"Little Strong Gu hasn't reached the level of instantly restoring your heart."

"But as long as you continuously improve the growth level of Little Strong Gu, its limit for withstanding damage will become higher and higher."

"The biggest advantage of Little Strong Gu is that it eats everything, including paper, leather, cotton wool, wood chips... it eats everything; you don't have to worry about its food problem at all."

Hearing this, Li Er Niu's eyes lit up; this is really a very practical advantage.

Gu worms are very precious, and the things they eat are strange, and some Gu worms even eat gold, spirit stones, and spirit medicines, which are expensive things, and can often eat a wealthy Gu cultivator to bankruptcy.

Not being picky about food is definitely a plus.

"That's not bad either; after all, it's just a low-grade Gu worm; if you really said it would make people possess absolutely unkillable power, I wouldn't believe it either."

"I'll trade for this Little Strong Gu; three medium-grade spirit stones, you take them."

Li Er Niu threw three medium-grade spirit stones of good quality on the stall, and left with the Gu jar in his hand without saying a word.

One medium-grade spirit stone is worth one hundred low-grade spirit stones; Long Xuan's storage bag space is not large, and he is more willing to collect medium-grade spirit stones.

The opening was successful; Long Xuan happily put away the three medium-grade spirit stones and shouted casually: "Don't miss it when you pass by; come and take a look at the high-quality Little Strong Gu; you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a cheat..."

Seeing that no one came over for a long time, Long Xuan turned his head and looked at the old stall owner who had just talked to him, intending to sell to a peer to try.

"Old man, you must have seen the function of my Little Strong Gu; you are old and must have bad legs and feet; trading my Little Strong Gu is just right to add an insurance."

"Meeting is fate; seeing that you are my neighbor, I will sell it to you cheaply; I will charge you 299 spirit stones."

Li Laodao immediately blew his beard and stared: "Good you little ghost, you actually cheated on me."

"I don't believe your Little Strong Gu really has such ability, although it won't make the host possess an immortal body in the true sense, its ability is still a bit terrifying."

"You know how terrifying the actual combat effect of this ability is; when fighting, you can completely trade injuries for injuries with your opponent; it is not an exaggeration to say that your combat power increases by double out of thin air."

"This is not an ability that a low-grade Gu worm can possess; if your Little Strong Gu really has this ability, I would rather choose your Little Strong Gu in front of a medium-grade Gu worm."
