226: The apprentice is still too young after all.

“Don’t let me find out who you are.”

Ye Lin gritted his teeth, hating Gu Qing.

With Gu Qing stirring up trouble, he didn’t know if Zhi Meng would continue to bid.

Ye Lin placed his hand on the formation jade platform and said coldly, “How have you considered it? If there’s no news, then add another one hundred billion immortal crystals.”

“Heh heh.”

Zhi Meng laughed in anger, her heart filled with killing intent.

Since her debut, Ye Lin was the first person who dared to treat her like a fat sheep.

“Are you really not going to? If we add a few hundred billion immortal crystals and some immortal pills, we can definitely make the transaction.” Zhi Meng transmitted her voice to Gu Qing.

They really couldn’t stay in Heguang Immortal City anymore.

If she were alone, even if she died, she wouldn’t let Ye Lin treat her like a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

But with Gu Qing, for Gu Qing’s safety, no matter how high Ye Lin’s price was, as long as she could afford it, she would accept it.

“No, someone will send us a better flying boat.” Gu Qing’s transmitted voice was suggestive.

“You mean, Liu Liangshèng already knows we’re at this trade fair and will make a move against us?” Zhi Meng pondered.

“That’s right.”

“Liu Liangshèng’s last sentence just now was actually meant for us.”

“If we leave the city, he will definitely think we’re guilty and not a disciple of the Pill Sect.”

“If we continue to stay in the city, he might give up, or he might continue to probe with other methods.” Gu Qing transmitted.

Zhi Meng fell silent after hearing this.

The so-called probing would definitely start with her.

So, no matter what, they had to leave the city; there was simply no other choice.

Then the question came, what would Gu Qing use to deal with Liu Liangshèng, who was at the Heavenly God Realm peak?

Use the Calamity Black Dragon?

Although she didn’t know exactly how strong Gu Qing’s Calamity Black Dragon was, the Calamity Black Dragon was the source of evil demons. If it was sensed by a great power in the Immortal Realm, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After much thought, Zhi Meng transmitted, “The Immortal Realm is different from the lower realms, especially since we haven’t joined the Star Dao Sect yet. Let’s avoid using the Calamity Black Dragon if possible.”

In the lower realms, even if Gu Qing exposed the Calamity Black Dragon and massacred a realm, their Star God Temple could handle it.

But in the Immortal Realm, Gu Qing would likely attract countless great powers as soon as he exposed it.

“I know.”

Gu Qing nodded slightly; no one understood the terror of the Calamity Black Dragon better than him.

The fastest way to break through his cultivation was to curse the entire Heguang Immortal City, but if he really did that, great powers would definitely descend.

Gu Qing wasn’t blindly confident enough to hide from great powers of the Immortal Realm.

However, the Calamity Black Dragon wasn't completely unusable. As long as he was careful and acted swiftly, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Additionally, if his cultivation wasn't enough, he could make up for it with magical treasures. He had the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror and an Innate Spirit Treasure, which were enough to bridge the gap.

Thinking this, Gu Qing looked at Liu Liangshèng, who sat calmly in the main seat, and sighed inwardly. He was truly a decisive and ruthless old fox, making a deadly move right from the start.

“I’m sorry, Master, it was all my momentary carelessness. I thought that by refining some low-grade and mid-grade pills, I could be no different from an ordinary alchemist, but I forgot that ordinary alchemists don’t have a 100% pill success rate.”

At this point, what was there that Gu Qing didn’t understand?

Liu Liangshèng, this old fox, must have long suspected that he wasn’t a low-level immortal pill master, but a Intermediate Immortal Alchemist.

A Intermediate Immortal Alchemist could refine too many immortal pills.

Every mid-grade immortal pill was a rare treasure.

Even if he were a disciple of a great Pill Sect, Liu Liangshèng would probably be unable to resist the temptation and secretly make a move against him.

“It’s not your fault. I’m happy that you’ve understood the reason behind it. I believe you will definitely defeat Liu Liangshèng.” Zhi Meng smiled with relief.

In her opinion, Gu Qing was exceptionally intelligent, almost like a demon. The reason he left such a big flaw wasn’t due to carelessness, but because Gu Qing had never even considered failing to refine an immortal pill.

In Gu Qing’s value system, he wouldn’t do such an unethical thing.

Those immortal spirit herbs were found by cultivators at the risk of their lives countless times. If they were wasted, it would be a bolt from the blue for cultivators.

Her disciple had a moral bottom line; he was still too young after all.

Thinking this, Zhi Meng directly said, “No more.”

“???”

“What did you say? No more?”

Ye Lin couldn’t sit still anymore. That was hundreds of billions of immortal crystals that were about to be in his hands.

“That’s right.”

“...Forget it, as you said, two hundred billion immortal crystals, but I want nine immortal yuan pills and nine crossing calamity pills, all high-grade.”

Ye Lin hesitated for a moment, his heart bleeding, and said through gritted teeth.

He didn’t believe Zhi Meng had truly given up.

In his opinion, Zhi Meng was definitely a disciple of a great sect, and such a second-generation immortal never lacked immortal crystals and treasures.

And a flying boat that could travel through time turbulence could save lives at critical moments. Even if he offered a higher price, Zhi Meng would have no choice but to buy it.

Ye Lin wasn't afraid that Zhi Meng wouldn't buy it; he was only afraid that Zhi Meng wouldn't buy it from him.

After all, Zhi Meng had bid so high, she could definitely buy it if she took some time.

“Oh, didn’t you say three hundred billion immortal crystals and one piece of information, and that neither could be missing?”

Gu Qing scoffed.

Ye Lin was furious. He was merely asking for an exorbitant price to maximize his profits, and he didn’t believe Gu Qing couldn’t see that.

If Gu Qing hadn’t interfered, Zhi Meng would definitely have increased her bid, and she might even have told him a shocking piece of news.

After all, he had no idea how many second-generation immortals like Zhi Meng he had scammed.

And Gu Qing’s meddling had cost him tens of billions of immortal crystals, which was like digging out his heart.

“Are you still going to trade?” Ye Lin suppressed his anger and asked coldly.

“No, I already have a better option.”

With that, Zhi Meng didn’t wait for Ye Lin’s response and continued, “I’m done with my transaction. Next Daoist friend, please.”

“Wait, Daoist friend, you must consider carefully. If you miss this village, you won’t find this shop.” Ye Lin became anxious.

That was an extra ten billion immortal crystals, and more than a dozen immortal pills.

These high-grade immortal pills were treasures that were difficult to buy even with immortal crystals.

And he desperately needed immortal yuan pills and crossing calamity pills right now.

“If you’re willing to sell it for one billion immortal crystals, I don’t mind trading.”

“Hahahaha...”

As Zhi Meng’s words fell, the hall erupted in laughter, full of mockery.

It made Ye Lin seem greedy and foolish, thinking that all rich people were fat sheep.

Ye Lin’s face burned, and he was internally collapsing.

Because he knew very well that the cooked duck had flown away; Zhi Meng must have already found a seller.

“Does anyone have a time jade wall? I’m willing to offer two billion immortal crystals? No haggling, if it’s suitable, we’ll trade directly. No more discussion.”

Gu Qing no longer paid attention to Ye Lin; he was just a dying man.

He had already memorized Ye Lin’s aura. Once Liu Liangshèng was dealt with, it would be Ye Lin’s death day.

As for acquiring a time jade wall, it was actually a precaution.

If he couldn’t deal with Liu Liangshèng, then it would be troublesome.

Anyway, buying a time jade wall wouldn’t be a loss. He was a Saint Artifact Master and could refine flying boats.

If he didn’t use it himself, he could still make a large profit by trading it.

“Daoist friend, I have enough time jade wall to refine a medium-sized flying boat. Add another one billion immortal crystals and three high-grade crossing calamity pills.”

Soon, someone responded.

Although refining it into a flying boat and selling it could fetch a higher price, it was too difficult to find a refiner who could engrave defensive time turbulence formation patterns, and there was a risk of failure.

He didn’t dare to gamble; it was safer to trade honestly and make a steady profit.

“Okay.” More quantity meant a higher price; Gu Qing had nothing to say.

“Good, both parties’ needs have been met. Please, two Daoist friends, place your treasures on the trading platform.” Li Yuzheng said immediately.

Zhi Meng immediately put the crossing calamity pills and immortal crystals into the transmission slot, and the other party did the same.

Li Yuzheng carefully inspected them, and after confirming they were correct, he said, “The treasures are authentic. Do the two Daoist friends have any objections? If not, the transaction can be completed.”

“No objections.”

“Good, the transaction is complete. Next Daoist friend, please.”

“I want to trade for crossing calamity pills.”

Ye Lin said impatiently.

However, no one paid attention. Gu Qing and Zhi Meng even stood up and left directly.

Liu Liangshèng watched their departing backs, a look of excitement on his face, his eyes full of greed. He immediately chased after them.
