Seeing the price of the Gu recipe rising, Liu Chen knew he couldn't stand by any longer. He pondered for a moment and decided on a clever strategy.
Thus, he sent a message to Tai Bai Yun Sheng, conveying his idea: "Fellow Daoist Tai Bai, I am also quite interested in this Gu recipe, and I believe Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan would be as well. Why don't the three of us bid for this Gu recipe together? I happen to have some Six-Headed Serpent scales here that I can use as an exchange condition."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng did not respond immediately. Instead, he used an Information Path Gu worm to send a message to Fang Yuan, detailing the current situation.
Upon receiving the message, Fang Yuan quickly understood the pros and cons. He realized that Liu Chen's sudden entry into the bidding was because he knew their secret room numbers and was aware of their plans for this Gu recipe. This way, Liu Chen could monitor their movements during the auction and adopt appropriate strategies.
However, despite Liu Chen's somewhat cunning behavior, it did benefit them. After careful consideration, Fang Yuan decided to have Tai Bai Yun Sheng agree to Liu Chen's request.
Ultimately, Tai Bai Yun Sheng successfully acquired the Gu recipe for sixty immortal essence stones and the Six-Headed Serpent scales.
During the subsequent auction, several more items were successfully bid on by different Gu Immortals, but none of these items piqued Liu Chen's interest.
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating, Qin Baisheng finally made his grand appearance! He stood majestically in the center of the auction hall and said in a loud and magnetic voice:
"Distinguished guests, today's Gu Exchange Convention has been truly spectacular, and next, we will usher in the highlight of this assembly—the auction of Immortal Gu!"
He paused briefly, looked around, and then continued: "The value of these Immortal Gu is simply immeasurable; even I cannot accurately rank them."
Qin Baisheng further explained: "This Gu possesses a unique characteristic: it randomly selects a target, and I myself am powerless to control its choice. Therefore, the Immortal Gu to be auctioned next will appear in a completely random order."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Baisheng took out a Gu from his Pregnant and carefully displayed it to all the Gu Immortals present. He thoroughly explained the rules of the Immortal Gu auction. This method of random selection not only prevented the Immortal Gu released by other Gu Immortals from being compared to each other but also maximized fairness and impartiality.
After confirming that everyone understood the rules, Qin Baisheng passed this mortal Gu to each Gu Immortal in turn, allowing them to personally inspect it to ensure that the Gu had no abnormalities or tampering.
Once all the Gu Immortals had finished their inspection and confirmed everything was in order, Qin Baisheng officially began the auction of the first randomly appearing Immortal Gu.
"Distinguished guests, please pay attention! The first Immortal Gu we are auctioning now is named 'Peach Blossom Luck.' It is a rank seven Luck Path Gu, with the effect of enhancing one's romantic fortune!" Qin Baisheng stood on the auction stage, loudly introducing the rank and ability of this Immortal Gu to everyone.
He then continued: "This Immortal Gu has the appearance of a blooming peach blossom. Furthermore, its auction rules are very simple: as long as you possess a Sword Path Immortal Gu, a Theft Path Immortal Gu, or a Luck Path Immortal Gu, you can participate in the bidding!"
Just as Qin Baisheng was loudly announcing, Liu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. He was surprised to find that the first Immortal Gu to be auctioned was actually his! He couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "Haha, this is great, the first Immortal Gu is actually mine! It seems my Luck Path is still very good!"
Although this Immortal Gu was drawn completely randomly, given Liu Chen's current Luck Path, it still seemed to favor him.
After all, this Immortal Gu was originally ranked lower, but now it had become the first item to be auctioned, naturally providing more choices.
Moreover, if it were delayed further, after the Immortal Gu in the hands of other Gu Immortals were exchanged, his options would become fewer and fewer. Therefore, for Liu Chen, this was undoubtedly a very good start.
"I offer a rank six Sword Dao Sword Tooth Immortal Gu!"
"I offer a rank six Luck Path Fortune Transfer Immortal Gu!"
"I offer a rank six Luck Path Good Luck Immortal Gu!"
"I offer a rank six Theft Path Petty Pilfer Immortal Gu!"
...As Qin Baisheng's words fell, the scene immediately became noisy. A dozen young Gu Immortals eagerly bid, as if all were scrambling for these precious Immortal Gu.
The reason for this situation was actually very simple. The Immortal Gu that Liu Chen needed covered three ranges, which undoubtedly increased the attention of these Gu Immortals.
The effect of the Peach Blossom Luck Immortal Gu also aroused the interest of many Gu Immortals.
After all, for many young Gu Immortals, obtaining this Immortal Gu meant having the opportunity to win the heart of a beautiful Fairy. They all had a beloved Fairy in their hearts, hoping to achieve their wishes through this Immortal Gu.
And these young Gu Immortals with such thoughts were all from prominent families. The collapse of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building led to a large number of Luck Path Immortal Gu escaping or being newly formed, causing the Gu Immortals of Northern Plains to possess one or two more Immortal Gu. Especially the Luck Path Immortal Gu, which were the most numerous, but not necessarily suitable for their own schools.
Therefore, these Gu Immortals naturally hoped to exchange the extra Immortal Gu in their hands for Immortal Gu that were more suitable for themselves.
Among the many Immortal Gu, Liu Chen quickly ruled out the Sword Tooth Immortal Gu and the Sword Sheath Immortal Gu that were initially offered, as neither was what he needed. As for the Theft Path Immortal Gu, although they had some effects, compared to his own Forceful Seizure Immortal Gu, they were still slightly inferior, so he also unhesitatingly ruled them out.
However, among this pile of Immortal Gu, two Luck Path Immortal Gu particularly caught Liu Chen's attention. These two Immortal Gu were the Fortune Transfer Immortal Gu and the Good Luck Immortal Gu, both possessing the potential to become the core of an Immortal Path Killer Move.
Seeing this, Liu Chen decisively sent a message to Qin Baisheng, clearly stating his exchange conditions for the Peach Blossom Luck Immortal Gu.
Not only that, but he also submitted a list of the immortal materials he needed to Qin Baisheng.
Upon receiving Liu Chen's message, Qin Baisheng immediately announced loudly: "The owner of the Peach Blossom Luck Immortal Gu has made a request, hoping to exchange it for the Good Luck Immortal Gu and the Fortune Transfer Immortal Gu. Now, esteemed guests, whoever can produce more suitable immortal materials will acquire this Peach Blossom Luck Immortal Gu!"
