NABC Chapter 134 Party
Chapter 134 Party
Gu Chi was half-believing and half-doubting, and asked, "So awesome?"
"Don't worry, we're a thousand-year-old shop, and reputation is paramount. Since I can promise you this, I will never do something like that."
He added, "But there's one thing I need to explain to you beforehand. I'm talking about normal circumstances. Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can't see through it. But if you encounter someone special, or someone who possesses a special secret treasure, I can't guarantee that they won't be able to see through it."
Gu Chi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, how many gold crystals and copper coins?"
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Not much, not much, just nine thousand gold crystal copper coins."
"Mr. Duo?! Nine thousand? Why the hell don't you just go and rob it!" Gu Chi screamed. Nine thousand gold crystal copper coins, that's almost over ten thousand!
She only had about three hundred gold crystal copper coins left on her body. Even if she were sold, she wouldn't be able to get nine thousand.
"Sir, you can't say that. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. It's expensive for a reason."
Gu Chi gritted her teeth, took out the Heaven-Swallowing Bag, and poured out a large pile of things with a clang. They were all spoils she had collected from other people's storage bags over the years, and they filled up the space under her feet in an instant.
"I only have three hundred gold crystal copper coins on me. You can calculate how much these materials and tools are worth."
The shopkeeper squatted on the ground and randomly picked out a few utensils to examine them. "Although you have a lot of stuff, there are only five or six decent ones. Hmm... probably worth about 7,000 gold crystal copper coins."
"Then add the 300 gold crystal copper coins I have here, and sell it to me for 7,300." Gu Chi reluctantly took out the last 300 gold crystal copper coins.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper almost jumped up and cursed, but he still controlled his temper and said, "Miss, this is not how we do business here. If the difference was only three or four hundred, it would be fine, but your difference is too much."
There was no other choice, so Gu Chi and Big Black Dog rummaged through their storage bags again and finally managed to collect 9,000 gold crystal copper coins to buy the "Covering the Immortal Eyes".
When they were leaving, Gu Chi and the big black dog acted pitifully, crying and talking about how miserable their lives were. Finally, the shopkeeper was so annoyed that he returned the 100 gold crystal copper coins to them.
Near noon, Gu Chi found a place to eat. Most of the people coming in and out here were cultivators, so it was a good place to get information.
"With so many talented people from the younger generation gathering together, I think this party will definitely be a lively one."
"I heard that this was organized by the people from Xuanyuan Immortal Palace. They sent out invitations widely, mainly to mobilize their forces to find a cultivator."
"That should be the person on the wanted poster at the city gate, right? I don't think he's that great. Why would a powerful and transcendent force like the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace expend so much energy on such an unknown person?"
"A nameless brat? That only shows how ignorant you are. Not only did he dare to join those bandits in ambush and kill the head of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace, he even dared to run to the capital of Zhongzhou and challenge the current emperor. Do you dare?"
Gu Chi listened carefully. It seemed that Saint Xuanyuan had really put in a lot of effort to find her.
According to the discussions of the people at the next table, Gu Chi learned that there were similar gatherings in other oasis cities, most of which were aimed at dealing with her.
Gu Chi pinched his chin and said to himself, "Since you want to catch me so badly, I might as well find a way to sneak into the party over there. Then I can show my true identity, kill everyone, and give Xuanyuan Immortal Palace a big slap in the face."
She did have this impulse and wanted to give Xuanyuan Immortal Palace a warning to let them know that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Of course, the reason why she dared to have such an idea was mainly because she now had the "Immortal Eyes" to hide herself, and she could go and make a big fuss in her true form and then escape afterwards. It seemed that it would be difficult for the other party to find her trace again.
On the second floor, by the window, there was a man in blue clothes, who looked to be no more than twenty years old. On his left and right were two young girls who were dedicated to pouring wine and serving him food, and were serving him very attentively.
He drank a glass of wine and said, "Is he worthy of killing the leader of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace? He's just a cannon fodder who luckily survived. What's there to brag about? As for entering the capital of Zhongzhou and challenging the current emperor, that wasn't because of his own profound cultivation, but because he kidnapped the current ninth princess."
"No matter what, they dared to take action after all. This courage and bravery alone is enough to make people look up to them." Someone said unhappily.
The man in green glanced at the other person and said, "From what I know, he's only at the perfect stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. If I were to meet him, I could crush him to death with just one finger."
Many people at the restaurant felt that he was too conceited. Someone even said, "Brother, aren't you being too arrogant?"
The man in green drank another glass of wine and said contemptuously, "I'm not being arrogant. This is the truth. I only need one finger to crush him to death."
Gu Chi was sitting not far from him and couldn't help but glance at him, feeling quite unhappy.
"I can kill him with just one claw!" the big black dog was indignant.
Many people around him were disgusted by his arrogant attitude and asked, "May I ask what realm of cultivation this brother is at now?"
The man in green took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid next to him and wiped his mouth, then said calmly: "In the early stage of Jindan, is there any problem?"
Many people were surprised. At this age, there were not many cultivators who could reach the Golden Core stage. This person really had the capital to be proud of himself.
"What is this gentleman's name?" someone asked tentatively.
The man in blue threw his handkerchief on the table and uttered two words lightly: "Wang Bing."
"I wonder if he's the Wang Bing from Ziding Mountain?"
"Exactly."
"No wonder it's him! He's only 300 years old and already on the threshold of the Golden Core Stage!"
"To be able to reach the Golden Core Stage at this age, it only takes one finger to kill a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage."
All the monks in the restaurant were whispering to each other. It was obvious that they had heard of the name Wang Bing and knew some of his deeds.
Gu Chi, who was not far away, naturally had no good feelings towards this man who claimed that he could crush her to death with just one finger, but he did not fight with him here as he did not want to alert the enemy.
"I heard that there will be a grand party here soon. I wonder where it will be held. I also want to go and see the world."
"The gathering place is on the Chongzhi Mountains outside the city, about an hour or two away." Someone said enthusiastically.
"Thank you for letting me know. When will the party start?" Gu Chi asked in detail.
"It will be soon, in two days. Many masters of the younger generation will be there."
