Chapter 565: Low, Mid, and High-grade Storage Pockets

During this period, the liveliest place in Beixuan Zhou was Chongguang Cheng, and the liveliest spot in Chongguang Cheng was the estate of Guo Liuhe.

Guo Liuhe's identity as a member of the Golden Immortal Dao was already semi-public; to say it was known to everyone would be an exaggeration, but there was no need to hide it either.

His estate had become a public venue, welcoming guests from all directions.

Important figures from the noble families in the city, such as the Xi family and the Guo family, were all present; they did not want to miss the opportunity.

Moyunzi's rule was that participants must be guaranteed by the Golden Immortal Dao, but there was no limit on the number.

Guo Liuhe alone guaranteed as many as 9 people for the noble families in the city; he refused to take on any more.

Because Guo Liuhe knew clearly that while slightly bending the rules was harmless, if he went too far and annoyed Moyunzi, his status as the exclusive host would be ruined.

The person who came from the Xi family was Xi Rulin, the second uncle of Xi Junzi; so much time had passed, yet the Xi family had not recovered from the case of Xi Junzi's tragic death and had been busy investigating the situation regarding the Buwu Auction.

However, this was a powerful martial organization with extraordinary strength, and its members were determined to hide, making it impossible to find any traces.

To increase their strength, they had to obtain a share of the Storage Pockets.

"Liu Jinguo of the Liu family, my master is Master Zhuan Yinmang, and this is my companion, Zhou You."

As Guo Liuhe and Xi Rulin were conversing, a clear female voice rang in their ears, and they immediately saw Liu Jinguo and Zhou You entering the estate together.

The two nodded, "It is the girl from the Fucheng Liu family; her martial arts realm is not low, and she is quite opinionated, seeking a husband on her own."

They only assumed Zhou You was a young lover Liu Jinguo had found and did not pay much attention to him.

Master Zhuan Yinmang had come to Chongguang Cheng in advance and had met with Guo Liuhe to confirm his status as a teacher of the Golden Immortal Dao.

The two entering the estate in his name was not excessive, and he had only guaranteed 2 people, which was relatively few.

With Guo Liuhe leading, the number of people guaranteed by each Golden Immortal Dao member did not exceed a single digit, ranging from 1 to 9, but apart from the local host Guo Liuhe, no one dared to grandly guarantee as many as 8 or 9 people; usually, it was 4 or 5.

Guo Liuhe merely glanced at Zhou You, but he could never have dreamed that this unremarkable young martial master was his friend whom he had not seen for many days, Moyunzi.

"Where is Moyunzi?"

Zhou You and Liu Jinguo heard someone whispering not far away as they entered the estate.

That was right; the estate was full of people, but the main person was nowhere to be seen—Moyunzi was not present.

Beside a lake not far away, a crane was stuck deep in the river sand, burying its head to tear at a river clam the size of a tabletop, eating until juices splattered everywhere.

"Isn't that the big crane that delivered the message?"

Liu Jinguo pointed at the crane, and the big crane foolishly raised its head and smiled at her.

This remark reminded everyone: the big bird that delivered the message had arrived, so why hadn't Moyunzi shown his face yet? "Everyone, everyone, listen to me for a moment."

Guo Liuhe and the others had all arrived, so he walked to the front and said loudly, "Moyunzi is too busy to come, so he has specially dispatched his beloved pet mount to bring the items and complete the transaction."

"Just this big bird? Can it talk?"

One person raised a question, only to have the big crane spray a mouthful of foul-smelling saliva at him, leaving him in a sorry state.

"This bird understands human nature quite well and can complete the tasks entrusted by Moyunzi, and furthermore..."

Guo Liuhe explained, "I can also help with the transactions on his behalf; everyone's payments will be kept in the estate for the time being."

At this point, someone suddenly questioned, "Guo Liuhe, why do I feel like you are Moyunzi himself!"

The place was his, the payments for the goods were kept in the estate, and Moyunzi did not show his face—no matter how one looked at it, he was reaping all the benefits.

Everyone had come from afar, only to find they couldn't even see Moyunzi, seeing only a big bird that spat saliva, and the saliva was very smelly too.

Some conspiracy theorists even speculated whether Moyunzi had long since been murdered and if Guo Liuhe was pulling the strings behind the scenes by Borrowing Corpse to Return Soul.

"Wronged, I am terribly wronged; it really is the intention of my friend Moyunzi." Guo Liuhe explained loudly, "If you don't believe me, the estate gates are open; you are free to leave."

Upon hearing this, no one spoke; they didn't care about the truth—as long as they could get a Storage Pocket, who cared if it was Moyunzi or a big bird?

"I'll go first!"

The person speaking was Liu Tianxian; he was here to atone for his crimes, and he had brought members of the Liu family and other noble families with him.

The death of Liu Chengen had ultimately left its mark on him, and his once well-maintained face now had a few traces of weathering.

Now that everyone knew he was with the Golden Immortal Dao, they voluntarily cleared a path.

"Let me state that there are three types of Moyunzi's Storage Pockets: Low-grade, Mid-grade, and High-grade."

"Low-grade can only be used 1 time, Mid-grade can only be used 3 times; both have been exchanged before, and the tentatively set values are as follows..."

After Guo Liuhe finished introducing them, he said to Liu Tianxian, "What have you prepared, and how many do you want to exchange for?"

Liu Tianxian's side was the first to exchange for a Mid-grade Pocket; he had originally prepared a large amount of supplies, thinking of exchanging for several Mid-grade Storage Pockets, but upon hearing there were also High-grade ones, he immediately changed his mind.

"Tell me quickly, how many times can a High-grade Storage Pocket be used?"

Guo Liuhe paused, recalling the instructions from 'Moyunzi', "It's not that I don't want to say, but it is unnecessary."

"Moyunzi said that High-grade Storage Pockets must be exchanged for treasures at the level of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure."

What? The crowd was in an uproar; Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were so precious that they could be used to hire powerful martial artists—even if the Storage Pockets were useful, they were not worth exchanging for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

However, there were still some calm people after all.

Liu Tianxian immediately asked, "Why are High-grade Storage Pockets so expensive?"

"Because a High-grade Storage Pocket can be used 10 times."

"Fine, I will exchange for 1."

Liu Tianxian did not hesitate, "My Liu family's second branch has a box of Jade Lotus Seeds passed down from our ancestors; I want to exchange them for one High-grade Storage Pocket."

He was actually going to use a family heirloom to exchange for a Storage Pocket.

This action shocked the other noble family members who had come with him, and they tried to persuade him not to be impulsive.

Family heirlooms were different from clan-protecting treasures; they were passed down by ancestors to their descendants and could be disposed of by oneself.

Precisely because of this, family heirlooms could not be easily used; although Liu Tianxian was the head of the second branch, he could decide without consulting the family, but he would surely face reprimand upon returning.

In his current situation, he could not afford any more reprimands.

"No need to persuade me, I have decided; the Jade Lotus Seeds are not with me, I will immediately send someone home to fetch them, and we will exchange as soon as they arrive."

Guo Liuhe, in addition to being shocked, looked at the big crane, his gaze asking, "How about it?"

The Great Crane narrowed its eyes, the Seal Script within its body pulsed twice, conveying Zhou You's reply.

"Gaga!"

The Great Crane flapped its wings and nodded, signaling its agreement.

As the first person to eat crab, Liu Tianxian played a big hand at the start; although he never appeared for any Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure trades afterward, the atmosphere had been thoroughly stirred up.

For most traders, three Mid-grade Pockets were enough.

Their purpose in coming on this trip was the Low-grade Pockets, and being able to obtain three times as many Mid-grade ones was already an unexpected joy.

Of course, the higher the grade, the higher the price; for every extra Mid-grade one, there were a few fewer Low-grade Pockets.
