180: Chapter 180 Spirit Wine Trade, Blood Essence Demon Fruit Tree
"Let's begin. The value of this page of gold paper is not lower than the blood essence demon fruit tree." Rubbing his nose, Old Bai said casually.
"What is so miraculous about this gold paper that it could compare to a tier 7 medicinal ingredient like the blood essence demon fruit tree?" Hun Tiandi's fingers paused, and he asked in confusion.
"I don't know!" The stall owner, Old Bai, grinned, speaking with righteous confidence.
Hun Tiandi's expression froze upon hearing this. This old fellow was a bit strange; he likely believed this page of gold paper was some kind of treasure but couldn't identify it himself. He was unwilling to sell it casually, yet also reluctant to part with it.
At this moment, the onlookers all laughed out loud; they were clearly defeated by Old Bai's attitude!
"Although I don't know what this gold paper is for, I know it has been passed down since ancient times..." Old Bai chuckled, and the people around him became solemn upon hearing this.
Surprised gazes all fell upon the page of gold paper in Hun Tiandi's hands.
Anything that touches upon the ancient era is bound to be extraordinary. However, some people sneered, thinking, 'This ordinary-looking gold paper, could it really be related to ancient times?' Could it be that this old fellow was just saying this to sell it at a high price?
When the old man spoke, his heart jolted; this old fellow actually had a good eye.
Even Hun Tiandi would not have cared about this page of gold paper if Elder Dan hadn't spoken up. One truly cannot underestimate the people of the world.
"Old Mister, what makes you determine that this gold paper is related to ancient times?" Hun Tiandi asked softly, casually setting down the gold paper and looking toward the old man.
"I have studied the patterns on it. Although I don't know what the patterns are for—asking me is a waste of time—if I could decipher them, I wouldn't be selling it! I believe it is what it is!" Old Bai said indifferently.
The people present exchanged glances and then shook their heads helplessly. It was not easy to believe such things based on one person's word. No wonder this item had been on display for so long without anyone trading for it.
Hun Tiandi felt helpless and asked, "Old Mister, how do you intend to trade this page of gold paper?"
"A grade 8 primary medicinal formula!" Old Bai asked for an exorbitant price, rare that someone actually knew its value.
Hun Tiandi shook his head upon hearing this, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "Too expensive. Even if this page of gold paper is an ancient treasure, it's debatable whether it has been passed down, and betting on some patterns is too risky... Forget it, I'll just trade for the blood essence demon fruit tree instead..."
"I heard earlier that you said you didn't have money to buy wine, so you must be a lover of wine. I happen to have a bottle of monkey spirit wine; I wonder if it can be traded for the fruit tree?"
Hun Tiandi spoke, taking a jade bottle from his storage ring and placing it on the jade platform. "This is a bottle of premium monkey spirit wine. It has the effect of enhancing cultivation and tempering the body. Using this monkey spirit wine to trade for the blood essence demon fruit tree, are you satisfied, sir?"
"monkey spirit wine?" Upon hearing this, Old Bai abruptly stood up, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes as he wiped his palms on his clothes.
He opened the jade bottle, and a rich, fragrant aroma of wine instantly spread, enveloping the third floor. Taking a sniff, the Dou Qi in one's body began to circulate faster. Even one's spirit felt invigorated by the scent.
The crowd swallowed their saliva frantically. This group of people had certainly drunk wine before, but this was the first time they had seen such mellow and fragrant wine.
"Good wine, good wine!" A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Old Bai's face. He took out a small cup and tilted the jade bottle. A crystal-clear, viscous liquid flowed out, its fragrance hooking the wine worm in Old Bai's belly. After swallowing it, Old Bai squinted his eyes contentedly, savoring the taste of the monkey spirit wine.
"What kind of wine is this?" Old Bai opened his eyes and asked happily.
"monkey spirit wine!" Hun Tiandi smiled faintly.
"Hahaha, not bad monkey spirit wine. You kid are quite generous; this is interesting!" Old Bai smiled, directly putting the jade bottle into his storage ring, his gaze looking at Hun Tiandi with burning intensity.
Hun Tiandi smiled slightly, grabbed the jade bottle containing the blood essence demon fruit tree from the jade platform, and shoved it into his storage ring. He directly ignored the old man's gaze and turned to leave.
"Wait..." Watching Hun Tiandi, who was about to turn away, the old man became anxious and hurriedly spoke up.
"Old Mister, is there anything else?" Hun Tiandi asked in confusion.
"Hehe, kid, don't you want the page of gold paper? This thing is definitely a treasure..." Old Bai pointed to the page of gold paper very enthusiastically.
Hun Tiandi took a look at the page of gold paper lying quietly on the jade platform and shook his head lightly, saying, "A grade 8 primary medicinal formula, I'm afraid no one can produce that..."
"I'll take a step back. I don't want the grade 8 formula; just take out two more bottles of monkey spirit wine, and I will trade with you!" Old Bai chuckled.
"Yun Tian, trade with him. You definitely won't lose out. This page of gold paper is an ancient item; it's just that one doesn't know how to open it..." Just as Hun Tiandi hesitated, Elder Dan's low voice sounded.
Nodding slightly, he knew his teacher's knowledge was vast, far beyond his own. Since he said so, he naturally must be certain.
Seeing Hun Tiandi hesitate, Old Bai gritted his teeth and took out a jade box from his storage ring. Inside was a ripe blood essence demon fruit, far superior to the two small fruits on the sapling.
"As long as you can give me two bottles of monkey spirit wine, I will trade you the page of gold paper plus one blood essence demon fruit. How about it?" Old Bai felt a bit of heartache; originally, this blood essence demon fruit was meant for himself.
"Deal!" Hun Tiandi revealed a slight smile, knowing the timing was about right. If he angered the old fellow, it would do him no good.
Waving his hand, two jade bottles appeared on the jade platform, which Old Bai excitedly caught. He put the jade box containing the blood essence demon fruit into his storage ring and reached his palm toward the page of gold paper.
At this moment, just as he was about to touch the gold paper, a streak of Dou Qi slammed into it, emitting a metallic hum. A gentle voice came, falling into his ears.
"My friend, I have also taken a liking to this page of gold paper. I wonder if you could transfer it to me?"
When the Dou Qi erupted, the smile on Hun Tiandi's handsome face disappeared, and a sharp light flashed in his pitch-black eyes.
He slowly turned his head to look. Standing behind him was a youth in a yellow robe with a smile on his face. However, this smile looked somewhat cold and sinister.
Behind the Yellow-robed youth followed four old men. As his gaze fell upon them, his eyes narrowed slightly: three were 7-star Dou Zong level experts. One of the old men had an aura that was terrifying and not inferior to Lei Xuanji.
"Dou Zun?" This old man had an aged face and his hands were clasped behind his back, appearing just like an ordinary old man. However, even a Dou Zun level expert could not act presumptuously in front of him.
The Yellow-robed youth's interference caused the surrounding gazes to shift over to him. Looking at the four old men following behind him, a flash of light passed through their eyes. But most people were just watching the show, waiting to see how this wealthy youth would handle it.
Traveling outside with such powerful experts in tow, it seemed the forces behind this Yellow-robed youth were also very strong.
"Hehe, my friend, I will buy this page of gold paper at double the price. Could you part with it?" The Yellow-robed youth revealed a smile, his gaze fixed tightly on the gold paper. He had no intention of giving up at all.
"No. Get lost!" Hun Tiandi's gaze was cold. He glanced at the Yellow-robed youth, shook his head slowly, and spoke chillingly.
