Chapter 1963: Transaction, News of Refining Neon

The Gu Clan!

In the dao-chang of Clan Head Gu Chizi!

The gatekeeper handed He Pingsheng's Three-Zhang Valley to a certain elder, and the elder brought this Three-Zhang Valley to Gu Chizi's dao-chang.

"The Tong Clan?"

Gu Chizi stared at the Three-Zhang Valley in his hand, his eyes brightening: "Could it be that Tong Clan from the city called 【Heavenly Water City】 next to Heavenly Phoenix City?"

"This old man knows of this clan!"

"This clan is no ordinary clan; they can cultivate Three-Zhang Valley, and they even dare to sell it openly — just based on this point, no clan in all of Heavenly Phoenix City can compare!"

"This old man once went to the Tong Clan to seek Three-Zhang Valley!"

"Hehehe... what a pity, what a pity; back then they looked down on this old man!"

"I went personally, and only bought some first-tier scraps!"

"Laozu!" that elder said: "Since the Tong Clan humiliated you so, why don't I go send them packing?"

"What do you know?" Gu Chizi gave the elder a sidelong glance: "We need the Three-Zhang Valley; this fellow must not be offended!"

"Go... you personally go out and welcome this fellow in!"

"Remember: treat him with courtesy, not arrogance; absolutely do not offend him!"

"This old man will change clothes, then go to the guest hall!"

"Yes!" The elder left.

After the time of Half Incense Stick, Gu Chizi had changed into a black dao-robe and arrived at the guest hall.

When he arrived, He Pingsheng had already been waiting inside for a good while.

"Junior... Heavenly Water City Tong Clan disciple, pays respects to Senior Gu!" He Pingsheng kept his posture very low, cupping his fists respectfully.

"Hehehe..." Gu Chizi laughed: "No need, no need, no need..."

"Please sit... please sit!"

As he spoke, he waved at that elder.

The elder tactfully left.

The entire hall now held only He Pingsheng and Gu Chizi, the two of them sitting facing each other.

Gu Chizi asked: "Young friend is a Tong Clan member; may I ask how to address you?"

He Pingsheng said: "I am not surnamed Tong; I am surnamed He; Senior may just call me Little He!"

"I wouldn't dare... so it is Young Master He!" Gu Chizi said: "I wonder what brings you here this time?"

He Pingsheng did not hide anything, directly saying: "Junior was ordered to find a fourth-tier Shuang Shen Dan named 【Heavenly Heart Shuang Shen Dan】; I searched many places without success; our Heavenly Water City side doesn't have it, so I came to Heavenly Phoenix City to try my luck!"

"I heard Senior can refine this Shuang Shen Dan, so I came specially to request it!"

"I am willing to exchange this supreme-grade Three-Zhang Valley for it!"

"Hehehe, hehehe..." Gu Chizi laughed heartily: "Easy to say, easy to say... however..."

He immediately frowned: "Your Tong Clan is a great clan; you shouldn't lack this thing!"

"With Three-Zhang Valley, everyone in your clan must have powerful Divine Sense; refining pills would naturally be no problem!"

He Pingsheng said: "A family that chops ice does not keep cattle and sheep..."

"Our Tong Clan only earns the money it should earn, and does not contend with others for unnecessary benefits!"

"Good, good, good..." Gu Chizi laughed loudly: "The Tong Clan is indeed extraordinary!"

"However... Heavenly Heart Shuang Shen Dan... I wonder if young friend coming to me for pill-refining brings your own materials, or..."

He Pingsheng said: "Senior, apologies; Junior does not have the relevant materials, so if Senior has materials here, please help me refine some!"

"I will definitely pay equivalent value in Three-Zhang Valley!"

"Good!" Gu Chizi said: "Our Gu Clan also happens to need Three-Zhang Valley to enhance disciples' Divine Sense!"

"However, the materials in this old man's hands right now are not many!"

"How about this: I'll refine a few furnaces for you first; you wait a few days!"

Next, He Pingsheng waited at the Gu Clan.

Three days later, Gu Chizi handed ten furnaces of pills to He Pingsheng.

"Young Master He... ten furnaces total, among them two mid-grade, eight low-grade!"

"You don't know, this 【Heavenly Heart Shuang Shen Dan】 has a special material that is extremely difficult to fuse with the other main materials, so the pill quality is generally low when formed!"

"If it were an ordinary fourth-tier Shuang Shen Dan, this old man would absolutely not refine so many as eight low-grade furnaces, and there would definitely be high-grade ones!"

"Alas... this, I truly have no way!"

"No problem!" He Pingsheng took out a ring: "Senior, Junior also doesn't know the value of Heavenly Heart Shuang Shen Dan; this is Three-Zhang Valley; Senior, you keep whatever you see fit!"

In He Pingsheng's ring were a full ten thousand stalks of supreme-grade Three-Zhang Valley.

Definitely impossible to use up.

Although Three-Zhang Valley is third tier, sometimes third-tier things are not cheaper than fourth-tier.

"This many?" Gu Chizi said: "This is too much, right... Young Friend He, those ten furnaces of pills from this old man are far from worth this many!"

"However... our Gu Clan indeed severely lacks Three-Zhang Valley!"

"Look, how about this?"

"All these Three-Zhang Valley stay in our Gu Clan; later I'll additionally gift you some Heavenly Heart Shuang Shen Dan, how about that?"

He Pingsheng was overjoyed inside.

For him, Heavenly Heart Shuang Shen Dan was naturally the more the better.

A mere ten furnaces definitely wouldn't be enough.

This thing can be used not only by the Spirit Realm, but also by the Spirit Lord Realm.

"Certainly!" He Pingsheng said: "Then... I don't know how many Heart-Mind Divine Pills the senior can refine for me?"

Gu Chizi furrowed his brow.

He carefully calculated, then said: "How about this... I'll send you another one hundred and twenty furnaces later!"

"Certainly!" He Pingsheng also didn't know the exact price.

But he estimated that even if he lost money, he wouldn't lose too much.

After all, the Heart-Mind Divine Pill is a fourth-grade medicinal pill, and its refinement is extremely difficult.

"Good, good, good..." Gu Chizi said: "However... the materials for the Heart-Mind Divine Pill are hard to gather in such quantities in a short time, Fellow Daoist, you may have to wait a while!"

He Pingsheng asked: "How long?"

Gu Chizi said: "The 【Soaring Dragon Nine Heavens Flower】 in the Heart-Mind Divine Pill is only cultivated by the Feng family in Scorpion King City, and with my connections, the amount I can obtain each kalpa is limited!"

"I'm afraid it will take three to five kalpas before I can gather enough!"

He Pingsheng smiled: "It's fine... but, Senior Gu Chizi, I still have an improper request!"

Gu Chizi said: "Please speak!"

He Pingsheng said: "If during the refining process later on, defective pills are produced, please also give them to me. Defective pills— the higher the grade, the better. Our Tong family can convert them into fertilizer for Three Zhang Valley!"

"This is simple; those defective pills were originally going to be discarded by me anyway!"

"Young friend said so, I will naturally keep them for you. Also... there are quite a few defective pills this time. Wait a moment, I'll have the pill boy organize them and send them over!"

While speaking, Gu Chizi sent out a message.

He Pingsheng took advantage of this waiting time to ask another question: "Senior Gu... to be frank, I have some acquaintance with the master of Bingshan, Lian Ni Hong!"

"Do you know her well?"

"Do you know her current situation?"

"Oh?" Gu Chizi looked at He Pingsheng and said: "You actually know Lian Ni Hong?"

"Unfortunately... her current situation is not good... she has been captured!"
