Gu Fuyou calculated in her mind that the spirit stones she had saved in the past were only about 800,000, plus the spirit stones she earned from selling pills in Yinxuezhai, the total was 1.08 million.
Gu Fuyou asked tentatively, "Six hundred thousand?"
Yu Dongsheng said: "Seven hundred thousand."
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand."
Yu Dongsheng glanced at her and said, "One million."
Gu Fuyou gritted his teeth and said, "One million and five hundred thousand."
Yu Dongsheng sneered: "One million and one hundred thousand."
Gu Fuyou once again looked at Yu Dongsheng. Yu Dongsheng held a withered stick in his right hand. The top of the stick was a crystal stone with a silly old man's head carved on it. It was obvious that this person had a high status in the Wanyao Pavilion. Judging from this crystal stone, he could definitely take out more than 1.1 million.
Gu Fuyou was not as wealthy as him, so she stepped back to Zhong Michu's side, tilted her head to her ear, and whispered, "Senior Sister Zhong, is that stone worth this price?"
Zhong Michu said: "Yeah."
Boss Biao didn't expect that the price of this rough stone could be hyped up so high. He smiled so hard that the fat on his face was shaking. "Miss San, do you want to raise the price?"
Gu Fuyou frowned and didn't agree. Boss Biao saw that she might not have that many spirit stones on her, so he smiled and said, "Miss San also knows the rule of bartering here. If Miss San is a little tight on money, you can also use other things to pay for the spirit stones. Well, I think the spirit beast next to Miss San is good, with a majestic appearance and a strong physique. If Miss San wants to exchange it..."
Afuli stepped forward with his claws, his wolf eyes were deep, his fangs were sharp white, and he growled softly, and a gust of fishy wind blew the signboards nearby.
Boss Biao stepped back and said with a smile: "Miss Third's spirit beast has a bad temper. I'm afraid it will be difficult to tame and raise..."
Gu Fuyou glanced at Ah Fu. Ah Fu felt Gu Fuyou looking at him, and when he turned around and met Gu Fuyou's gaze, he really thought that Gu Fuyou disliked his big appetite and disobedience and wanted to sell him.
Ah Fu raised his head, kissed Gu Fuyou's chin with his lips, and licked her face all over, making her whimper. If he could speak any words, he would have said "I'm very good".
Boss Biao said: "Miss San, if you don't want to sell it, then I will give you this rough stone..."
Gu Fuyou was annoyed by Ah Fu, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He thought of something and said, "Wait!"
Gu Fuyou grabbed Ah Fu's neck and pulled it open. He took out something from the storage bag on his waist and handed it to Boss Biao. "Boss Biao, take a look at how much this thing is worth?"
Boss Biao's eyes widened: "Oh, Dizang meat!"
This piece of Dizang meat was exactly the one that Gu Fuyou pulled from Dizang's mouth. He had never known what to do with it, so he left it until now.
Boss Biao held up the Dizang meat and looked around carefully, then called a friend to take care of the stall. He held the Dizang meat in one hand and the raw stone in the other, and said, "Three of you, please follow me."
Boss Biao led the three people and the beast to a building. This building was not square like the surrounding houses, but round, with four floors, each with glazed eaves.
Four people entered, where there were many people coming and going. They walked all the way to the atrium, where they saw a square fighting platform in the middle. The platform was spacious, with a defensive formation underneath. There was no cover on the top, so they could see the blue and white sky.
Boss Biao led everyone to the top floor. On this side of the top floor, next to the main door of the hall, there was a red flag with a gold border, and the word "dang" was woven in gold thread.
Zhong Michu looked across the courtyard and saw that there was a flag hanging in front of each house across the courtyard, with the word "gamble" on it.
After the group entered, a servant came to greet them immediately. He was dressed in gray shorts. Many people who came and went here wore this kind of attire.
Gu Fuyou walked beside Zhong Michu and explained to her one by one: "These are all people from the Chamber of Commerce. This side is the pawn shop, and across the street is the gambling house."
The group walked to the counter, and an old man took the Ksitigarbha meat handed over by Boss Biao, studied it for a while, put down the tools in his hands, and said, "Five hundred thousand spirit stones."
"What? Only five hundred thousand. Even though this Ksitigarbha meat doesn't look good, it's such a big piece, it must be worth at least seven hundred thousand." Gu Fuyou rushed over and lay on the counter, wishing he could flip over and argue with the old man face to face.
The old man said slowly, "Miss Third, if it were in the past, this piece of Ksitigarbha meat would be worth at least 700,000 spirit stones. But now, the son of the Xuling Sect hunted a whole Ksitigarbha meat in Xianluo, so the market price has dropped a lot. You also know that things are valuable because they are rare."
Gu Fuyou cursed the sky in his heart, why was Zuo Tianlang everywhere
"Five hundred thousand is five hundred thousand, plus the original one and a half million, Boss Biao, a total of one and a half million spirit stones, to buy this raw stone."
Zhong Michu and Ah Fu stood aside. Although Zhong Michu was not so out of touch with the world that she didn't know to pay for spiritual stones when she went down the mountain to buy things, she was pampered and not sensitive to things like prices. She didn't know what was expensive and what was cheap. She didn't know what 1.55 million spiritual stones meant and what she could do with them.
Therefore, she could not intervene in such matters and left it all to Gu Fuyou. She stroked Ah Fu's head and waited quietly with Ah Fu to watch her discuss business with Boss Biao.
Yu Dongsheng said: "I'll follow."
It's not over yet.
Boss Biao changed his money-grubbing look and said solemnly, "You two have competed for this rough stone, and the price has increased by over a million. If neither of you is willing to let it go, there are other rules."
Yu Dongsheng looked at Gu Fuyou and smiled: "Of course."
Gu Fuyou looked embarrassed, and walked over to Zhong Michu and said, "Senior Sister Zhong..."
This wandering market is arranged by the Chamber of Commerce, and the rules behind it are naturally set by the Chamber of Commerce. One of the rules is to prevent the prices of goods from being inflated.
The prices of things in the market are naturally determined by the owners. The owners can decide whether buyers are first come first served or whoever offers the highest price wins.
If the highest bidder wins, and both parties compete with each other, to avoid inflated prices, the price may be more than ten times the original price. If both parties are unwilling to let go, they will have to change their way of competing.
Two parties fight each other, and the Chamber of Commerce notarizes the battle, and the winner gets this item.
It's nothing more than the law of survival in this world: the strong prey on the weak.
Gu Fuyou explained this to Zhong Michu. Now she and Yu Dongsheng have already negotiated the price of the rough stone for over a million. Now it is no longer the one with the highest bid that wins, but the one with the strongest power. Either give up, or you have to fight Yu Dongsheng for the rough stone.
Boss Biao came over and said, "Miss San, I think Master Yu is determined to win. His cultivation has reached the late Jindan stage. It would be better if the young city lord was here. Now you are alone and cannot win against him... Otherwise, let your friend choose another rough stone, and I will give you a 50% discount."
Since Gu Fuyou didn't know what was in the raw stone, she didn't have a strong desire to obtain it, but since Zhong Michu wanted it, she tried her best to get it for her.
But now this is no longer something that can be accomplished with just spirit stones.
Fighting requires cultivation. If the opponent's cultivation is lower, there is no need to worry. Zhong Michu can go up by himself and handle it. But Yu Dongsheng is already in the late Jindan stage. Even if Zhong Michu goes up, it will be extremely difficult to win.
Zhong Michu drooped his eyebrows and remained silent.
Zhong Michu is a person who speaks little and has few expressions, but after getting to know her for a long time, you will find that she is actually very easy to understand, like now.
Seeing her like this, Gu Fuyou didn't want to disappoint her, so he lowered his head and thought for a while. Then, an idea came to his mind, so he pulled Zhong Michu aside and said, "Senior Sister Zhong, if you really want it, I have a way. Although I can't guarantee that you will beat him, it can increase your chances of winning. Also, I may have to let you down a bit..."
Zhong Michu asked: "What method?"
Gu Fuyou moved closer and whispered in her ear.
Being too close, the fragrance on Gu Fuyou was so strong that Zhong Michu couldn't help but hold his breath.
Because the two of them were standing side by side, Zhong Michu was looking at Gu Fuyou's shoulder and saw a mark half exposed under Gu Fuyou's clothes. The shallow mark could still reveal the shape of the wound. It was a tooth mark...
Zhong Michu felt helpless for a moment, like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being discovered by his elders and didn't know what to do.
She pulled away slightly and said, "Okay."
Gu Fuyou didn't expect her to agree so readily. He was a little overwhelmed and felt very uncomfortable: "Okay, then, that's it."
Gu Fuyou said to Boss Biao, "Boss Biao, I want the raw stone. Let's fight."
"This..." Boss Biao saw that she was determined and it was difficult to persuade her. He sighed and said, "Okay."
Boss Biao led the two men to the gambling house. The three men waited in the outer hall while Boss Biao walked into the inner hall.
After a while, three servants came with red lacquered wooden trays, followed by a girl in red.
The lady in red was the notary of the duel between the two parties. She came over and asked, "Which two gentlemen want to fight for the rough stone?"
Yu Dongsheng and Gu Fuyou walked over. The girl said, "Please sign the life and death agreement."
Among the three red lacquered wooden plates, one contained the raw stone, and the other two contained writing brushes, ink, and a life and death statement.
This fight is not necessarily a fight to the death, but accidents are inevitable. Once you sign the life and death agreement and step down from the fighting stage, whether you are injured or die has nothing to do with others.
Gu Fuyou pulled Zhong Michuyi and said to the girl in red, "Sister, she has to sign too."
The lady in red smiled slightly and said, "Girl, it's unreasonable for a one-on-one fight to end with three people."
She asked Ah Fu to wait there, and pulled Zhong Michu towards the lady in red, saying, "Can we go down and ask sister to notarize it? But for notarization, we need to take off our clothes, and it's not convenient for two girls like us to do it in public. Please ask sister to find a private place."
The lady in red looked stunned, but after a moment she returned to a smile, gentle and elegant, and said, "In that case, please follow me."
Then he said to Yu Dongsheng, "Please wait for a moment, sir."
Yu Dongsheng frowned unhappily, but didn't say anything. He just watched the three people go into the inner hall.
The lady in red led the two of them to a room and asked, "What do you want to notarize, young lady?"
Gu Fuyou smiled and said, "Although the fight is one-on-one, I can summon spirit beasts. It is not against the rules for her to participate because she is my spirit beast. I was afraid that my sister would not believe me if I told her, so I asked her to notarize it."
When the lady in red heard this, she was indeed surprised and confused, but the Chamber of Commerce provided decent service by never asking questions that should not be asked and never interfering in matters that should not be interfered with.
So even though she had doubts in her heart, she still didn't ask too much, and just said: "If that's the case, I have to check the beast pattern."
The lady in red opened the door and said, "This way, young lady."
Zhong Michu walked in, and Gu Fuyou wanted to follow in. Zhong Michu glanced at her, and Gu Fuyou pursed his lips and retreated again, watching the lady in red enter the house and close the door.
When a spirit beast is in a contract, there must be a beast pattern. She had asked Zhong Michu in advance and only dared to let her come to notarize it after learning that she had it. Otherwise, no one would believe her if she said she was her spirit beast.
I don't know where on Senior Sister Zhong's body the beast pattern is. The shape of the beast pattern is always the shape of the spirit beast. Could it be that Senior Sister Zhong's beast pattern is a graceful beauty
Gu Fuyou was very curious and wanted to take a look, but he was afraid of making Zhong Michu unhappy, so he just waited outside obediently.
After a while, the door opened and two people walked out one after the other.
Zhong Michu straightened his clothes. The lady in red looked at Gu Fuyou and said respectfully, "It is indeed a beast pattern."
The lady in red had no doubts at all, but just followed the routine and asked Gu Fuyou to summon Zhong Michu once. Then she took the two back to the outer hall and said to everyone, "You two can leave, please sign the life and death agreement."
Yu Dongsheng said: "What's the reason for this?"
The lady in red said, "The two of them are the master and the contracted spirit beast, so both of them can go down."
Yu Dongsheng sneered, "This is clearly a human. How can a human spirit beast be a human? Are you lying with your eyes open?"
The lady in red smiled and said, "Please trust the notarization of the Chamber of Commerce, or you can choose to give up the competition. Naturally, the rough stone will belong to the other two."
Yu Dongsheng stared at them for a long while, then snorted coldly: "Forget it, two people is enough."
One is in the middle stage of Jindan, the other is in the great perfection of Qi training. What difference does it make if one is more or one is less
