138: Eat the bait

At this moment, everyone off the stage had their curiosity piqued.

Gu Changan was no exception, listening carefully to what the other party would say next.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the stage said, "At first, I didn't know what it was either."

"However, when I encountered it, its figure was illusory."

"I had to use a special method to harvest it!"

"After returning, I started looking up information about it."

"I consulted many ancient texts but still wasn't sure!"

"I only roughly judged that these are seeds of ghost soul heart-locking grass!"

"As for what the ghost soul heart-locking grass is actually used for, it is currently unclear!"

Gu Changan was instantly thrilled; he hadn't expected to be so lucky as to run directly into seeds of ghost soul heart-locking grass!

Seeing the sudden silence in the venue, it seemed that everyone did not know what ghost soul heart-locking grass was.

Gu Changan immediately felt a sense of vigilance.

Something was wrong!

How could such a coincidence happen?

He needed seeds of ghost soul heart-locking grass, and they just appeared!

Since it had already been identified as ghost soul heart-locking grass, could the ancient texts really lack information on its uses?

And yet, he was here pretending not to know its purpose or if it was authentic?

Gu Changan immediately thought of many possibilities.

Was it the Donor from before who leaked the information by asking around everywhere?

Or perhaps someone was using that Donor to fish for prey here?

Then the other party must know that the true purpose of ghost soul heart-locking grass is for refining the core formation pill.

What, then, was the purpose of the other party's fishing?

Was it also for the core formation pill?

Or was it to meet an Alchemist capable of refining the core formation pill?

Or perhaps they wanted to obtain the acquisition channel for the core formation pill from him?

After a brainstorm, Gu Changan really couldn't analyze the other party's true purpose!

However, he had to take the bait that the other party had offered!

Otherwise, there would be no first step.

How would there be anything later to copy and trade?

Cold sweat broke out on Gu Changan's forehead under his cloak; he knew his current situation was extremely dangerous.

There were seven Golden Core Stage Cultivators on stage.

He hadn't been exposed yet; the other party only knew that someone would come to this large-scale trading fair held on the Ghost Cultivators' mountain to buy Yin Qi-attributed Spirit Medicine.

In that case, the seeds of ghost soul heart-locking grass were definitely the top choice!

As long as he didn't go on stage to trade, the other party couldn't lock onto him.

After steadying his nerves, Gu Changan began to carefully observe the current scene.

However, the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators below did not know what the seeds of ghost soul heart-locking grass looked like!

But everyone remained silent.

Among the few Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the back, only two of them exchanged glances.

It seemed that those two knew exactly what the ghost soul heart-locking grass was used for.

Or perhaps, this trap was set by the two of them.

The other Golden Core Stage Cultivators who were Ghost Cultivators might not know the Pill Formula for the core formation pill.

They did not know that ghost soul heart-locking grass was one of the main ingredients.

That was why they were leisurely drinking tea now!

At this time, Gu Changan was also observing to see if anyone would break the deadlock.

Suddenly, a youthful voice came from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator next to the table.

They spoke up to ask, "May I open it and take a look?"

At this moment, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the stage revealed an inexplicable expression in his eyes, staring at the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had spoken.

The two Golden Core Cultivators on the stage also looked over without leaving a trace.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator who spoke asked somewhat nervously, "You're trading items, but you won't let people see them?"

At this point, Gu Changan felt it was about time.

He intervened to smooth things over, "Exactly, you have the box sealed."

"Who knows what's inside?"

"What if it's an empty box?"

At this moment, three gazes fell upon him again.

Gu Changan withstood the pressure and feigned a look of curiosity.

At this moment, the curiosity of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators nearby was also piqued; everyone wanted to see what these tightly sealed plant seeds looked like.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the stage glanced back without leaving a trace, and seeing that no one spoke,

he turned his head back and actually tore off the Spirit Sealing Talisman on the box.

He opened the sandalwood box, and an intense Yin Qi rushed towards them.

At this moment, everyone felt that there really was a good item in this box!

They stared with wide eyes to watch carefully, and the other Golden Core Stage Ghost Cultivators in the back all scanned it with their Divine Sense, revealing expressions of interest.

Seeing this, Gu Changan thought to himself, "Not good!"

"I forgot about these Golden Core Stage Cultivators!"

"What if they also make a move to snatch the ghost soul heart-locking grass?"

"At worst, I'll fight for it!"

"If I can't trade for it, I'll just have to intercept and kill them afterwards!"

"If I do trade for it, I will have offended those Golden Core Cultivators on the spot!"

"What if they attack and kill me?"

"Should I just get it first?"

"Send it directly to the treasure gathering basin to copy it!"

"If the other party demands it by force, I'll just swallow my pride and toss it to them; after all, I've already copied it."

"The other party is a Golden Core Stage Cultivator and a high-level figure among the Ghost Cultivators; out of consideration for Face, they shouldn't make a move at the trading fair!"

"After thinking it over, one can only seek wealth in danger!"

While Gu Changan was still lost in wild thoughts, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the stage had already started to state his asking price.

"I only trade for items that are helpful for Cultivate!"

"The higher the Rank, the better!"

Gu Changan was also observing the seeds of ghost soul heart-locking grass inside the sandalwood box.

He saw two slender, bean-sized seeds resting on a piece of soft silk cloth inside.

The two seeds appeared and disappeared; when they appeared, they turned black-purple and somewhat shiny, and when they were hidden, they turned gray-black and dull!

It really was magical; some Foundation Establishment Cultivators nearby began to exclaim.

"I have been Cultivate for forty or fifty years and have never seen such a Spirit Plant seed!"

Others also nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Gu Changan was thinking about what he could use to trade that would move the other party!

The other party was clearly a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; what about a high-Rank Medicinal Pill for him?

Or a high-Rank top-grade magic artifact?

No! No! A top-grade magic artifact might not necessarily move the other party!

There were still several Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the back, eyeing it covetously; they would also offer valuable treasures.

Then he would have to offer a Magic Treasure of the Golden Core Stage!

Although a Golden Core Stage Magic Treasure could be easily copied by him!

But to others, it was a precious treasure!

If they discovered that he could use a Golden Core Stage Magic Treasure for trading, he believed those Golden Core Stage Cultivators on the stage would definitely be interested in him!

That would be a loss that outweighed the gain!

Furthermore, if this was truly a trap, wouldn't offering a Golden Core Stage Magic Treasure be falling right into it?

Therefore, he abandoned the idea of using a Magic Treasure for trading!

Then he would use a Medicinal Pill!

A Medium Grade foundation establishment pill?

Its value was probably around 100,000 Spirit Stone!

It should be roughly equivalent in price to the seeds of ghost soul heart-locking grass!

After all, they were just seeds!

Besides, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator shouldn't be interested in a Medium Grade foundation establishment pill!

It was of no help to his current Cultivate level; he could only take it to sell!

Then what about a mid-grade yuan solidifying pills?
