152: Fading from view
Then again, it wasn't as if there was no room to maneuver regarding the ghost soul heart-locking grass.
Thinking this, he stared fixedly at Gu Changan's figure.
I really don't know what kind of Family this guy was born into!
To possess such exceptional conditions.
However, if I were to snatch the ghost soul heart-locking grass from him, should I silence him?
And what about the transaction with the Treasure Pavilion?
I reported the ghost soul heart-locking grass to exchange for 3 drops of golden marrow jade milk!
If the ghost soul heart-locking grass disappears, it won't be easy for me to explain!
Although it's said that the world is a big stage, even if I were to take both treasures and escape.
Where would I go to exchange for a core formation pill?
After all, only major powers can refine core formation pills!
Running away with the treasures would really be narrowing my own path.
Not to mention my own Family; I might be able to escape, but what about my Family?
They might be uprooted by the Treasure Pavilion!
The Golden Core Stage manager suppressed the greed in his heart, thinking that obtaining two drops of golden marrow jade milk should be enough.
This is the maximization of my benefits for now!
Having figured out the key to the problem, he also became eager regarding the Gu Changan before him.
However, I should try to suppress the price; 200,000 for one Soul Magical Artifact is simply too cheap!
I must sell it to him for at least 300,000 each; as for him only exchanging for one drop of golden marrow jade milk, that's none of my business!
The Golden Core Stage manager revealed a hypocritical smile:
"Little friend! Do you have any requirements for the soul defense magical artifact?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changan perked up; it seems there really is room to maneuver!
"It must be the more powerful, the better!"
"Who doesn't want their own Magic Treasure to be powerful?"
The Golden Core Stage manager looked troubled: "In that case, you won't be able to buy a soul defense magical artifact for 200,000 each."
"It will be at least 300,000 each!"
Gu Changan thought about it seriously and felt that what the other party said made some sense.
He was indeed cornered by the other party, but since he was taking it back to upgrade it anyway, a low-level one would do!
"How about this!"
"Let's stick to the 200,000 each one!"
"After all, I can't tell the difference between good and bad!"
The Golden Core Stage manager's expression stiffened, but he still piled on a smile.
"Little friend! Your 1.8 million Spirit Stones is simply too much!"
"That's based on auction house prices!"
"Who would have so many Spirit Stones in reality!"
Gu Changan thought for a moment: "Oh! Then I won't exchange!"
"I'll exchange for 3 drops of golden marrow jade milk!"
The Golden Core Stage manager's eye twitched; damn ant!
The Golden Core Stage manager had already treated those two drops of golden marrow jade milk as his own possession.
But 1.8 million Spirit Stones is simply too much!
Even if the Family pooled together and sold various treasures, they could at most scrape together 300,000 Spirit Stones!
Then how to handle the remaining 1.5 million?
Does this mean I need to bring others in on it?
But no Family has that many Spirit Stones!
Even if it's 300,000 per Family, do I need to bring in 5 families?
This is clearly impossible!
Then what else can be sold?
I still have some remaining Contribution Points; should I exchange for another treasure?
Even if I exchange for another treasure to trade with the other party, it would be at most 200,000 or 300,000 Spirit Stones, so the gap is still very large!
How to handle this?
Gu Changan thought the transaction was being conducted with the Treasure Pavilion, so he wasn't worried that the Treasure Pavilion couldn't produce 1.8 million Spirit Stones.
But the Golden Core Stage manager completely wanted to keep the treasure for himself.
He kept thinking about the possibility of breaking the deadlock, how to get 1.5 million Spirit Stones!
Gu Changan said goodbye to the Golden Core Stage manager!
"Senior! I will come again in two days!"
"I hope the golden marrow jade milk will be ready by then."
The Golden Core Stage manager stood up to see him off: "Certainly! Certainly!"
"Then I will wait here for your good news, little friend!"
Gu Changan got up and left, heading straight out of the Treasure Pavilion.
The Golden Core Stage manager watched the other party leave, a trace of gloom flashing in his eyes.
He quickly took out his identity token and issued an order on it.
"I don't care what method you use, keep an eye on the guest who just entered my private room!"
"Task level, highest Family level!"
After giving the order, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He muttered to himself: "True Disciple Ghost Without Way?"
"Apart from you, in the Nether Ghost Market, whose hair glows with a faint blue light?"
"A special Family Bloodline?"
Then he revealed a sinister smile!
Not long after Gu Changan left, he felt someone following behind him.
There were a dozen gazes fixed on him.
Gu Changan remained calm and once again came to the outside of the Nether Ghost Market, in the direction where True Disciple Ghost Without Way had left.
He quickly shot forward, and after leaving everyone's line of sight, he sneaked underground.
He used a teleportation talisman again, completely shaking off the pursuit behind him.
The Cultivators behind were afraid of being exposed, so they could only trail far behind.
When they reached the place where Gu Changan had left, they only felt a burst of spatial fluctuation.
The target had vanished without a trace.
A dozen people stood there sighing, some with fear already in their eyes.
Did this highest-level Family mission fail just like that?
Then one person quickly left the team to report back!
After emerging from the passage of the teleportation talisman, Gu Changan changed his attire again, and even changed his appearance once more.
Just like that, the fake "True Disciple Ghost Without Way" went offline.
Gu Changan fumbled his way back to the entrance of the Nether Ghost Market and watched the hustle and bustle quietly.
About a few hours later, True Disciple Ghost Without Way returned with his group of subordinates, looking furious.
However, not far behind them, a dozen figures were trailing, their gazes involuntarily locked onto True Disciple Ghost Without Way.
Seeing this, Gu Changan's mouth involuntarily curled into an arc.
Then, with a swagger, he leisurely returned to the Nether Ghost Market.
Gu Changan returned to the Inn in a happy mood; he couldn't waste these two days, he had to seize the time to Cultivate.
However, his main attention was focused on improving his Cultivation.
As for Body Cultivator and Divine Sense, he had to put them aside for now.
On the Treasure Pavilion side, after Gu Changan left.
The Golden Core Stage manager immediately reported the matter, after all, without the Pavilion Master's approval.
It was impossible for him to transfer 3 drops of golden marrow jade milk from the headquarters.
The Golden Core Stage manager came to the 6th floor of the Treasure Pavilion, where no one dared to come up usually.
If it weren't for this matter requiring goods to be transferred from the Treasure Pavilion headquarters.
The Golden Core Stage manager wouldn't want to come up either.
He stood at the door and pondered for a while, then spoke respectfully.
"Pavilion Master! Someone came today to trade for ghost soul heart-locking grass, needing to exchange for 3 drops of golden marrow jade milk!"
"It's not in the treasury now, and it needs to be transferred from the headquarters!"
"I request the Pavilion Master's instructions!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "Understood!"
The Golden Core Stage manager was terrified; the other party's Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense had suddenly appeared in his mind.
Then killing him would also be a matter of an instant.
The Golden Core Stage manager instantly sobered up.
What golden marrow jade milk? What ghost soul heart-locking grass?
