The next afternoon, Meng Fanchen took advantage of the time it took for lunch to arrive at the shop area outside the sect.
Because they needed to work during the day, there weren't many villagers in the tents and stalls.
According to his memory, Meng Fanchen went to the place where the Intimate Grass was sold last night. He saw an empty cart parked on the spot. Dragging the cart was a humpbacked chicken.
It stood proudly on the spot. Its body was as big as an ostrich, and its appearance was like a chicken, but its back was bulging, forming an arc.
It had a pair of wide wings folded by its side, and its feathers were bright and gorgeous.
The chicken raised its head high, its bright red comb-like crown of jewels glistening under the sunlight.
"It seems that we're still a step too late. The Intimate Grass has already been sold out. Unfortunately, if he bought a few catties of Intimate Grass, he could save a lot of primeval stones.”Meng Fanchen paused for a moment before he left and continued walking.
"Come on, let's taste the beautiful wine of the various knockoff families. " There are more than a hundred types of fine wine here. There's the best lantern grass wine, the Jiuqu wine with a lingering effect, the quiet and elegant ancient Longjing wine, the sweet and sour flower wine, the hundred spring old cellar that makes one salivate, and the fragrant Shili Xiang wine..." In front of a blue barrel-shaped tent, the waiter was shouting with all his might.
Meng Fanchen's eyes flashed as his interest was piqued. He turned around and entered this wine shop.
The facilities in the wine shop were very unique. At the innermost part of the tent was a long counter. A Gu Master was guarding the tent, behind him were dozens of bucket sized crystal ladybugs that were clinging to the tent's walls.
The ground of the tent was not covered with a carpet, but was directly exposed to the rocks and soil. A group of colorful vacuum mushrooms grew in the soil. These mushrooms were colorful, round, and somewhat cute. Some were as big as a table, while others were as small as a stool. It was usually a mushroom the size of a table, surrounded by a few small mushrooms the size of stools.
"This is a vacuum mushroom, it was deliberately created by a Gu Master. It had the ability to absorb dust and turbid air, purifying the air, and was a type of grass Gu.”Meng Fanchen immediately recognized the mushrooms.
He chose a small mushroom and sat down. The surface of the mushroom immediately caved in slightly, giving Meng Fanchen the illusion that he was sitting on a luxurious sofa on Earth.
"Young master, this is the wine list. What kind of wine do you need?" A waiter walked over.
Meng Fanchen looked at the wine list and realized that the wine here was even more expensive than the Green City wine.
"Just a cup of monkey wine." Meng Fanchen put down the wine list.
"A cup of monkey wine!" The waiter turned his head and shouted.
At the counter, the Rank one Gu Master heard this and immediately bent down, taking out a bamboo wine cup from the counter.
Then, he turned around and faced the tent behind him. On the blue canvas of the tent, there were dozens of huge crystal ladybugs, head down, tail up, quietly climbing. It was like a decoration on the tent wall.
These crystal ladybugs were also a type of Gu, they had hollow stomachs and were often used by Gu Masters to store precious liquids.
They were completely transparent, as if they were made of crystal. From the outside, one could see what kind of wine was contained in the ladybug's round stomach.
The Gu Master quickly found the crystal ladybug that contained the monkey wine.
He placed the bamboo wine cup under the ladybug's mouthpart, then gently stroked the crystal carapace of the ladybug with his other hand.
A small amount of true essence surged into the crystal ladybug's body. Then, the ladybug opened its mouth and a stream of wine flowed down into the bamboo wine cup.
The sound of the wine splashing was heard for a while before it suddenly stopped.
The Gu Master placed the bamboo wine cup filled with monkey wine on the counter. The waiter outside the counter had been waiting for a long time, he quickly picked it up carefully and walked quickly to bring it to Meng Fan Chen.
Meng Fanchen only took a sip. The Monkey Wine was a fruit wine. The fragrance was mellow and sweet, and it was soft in his mouth.
He didn't drink anymore, but summoned the Liquor worm with a thought. The white and fat Liquor worm turned into a ray of white light, drawing half an arc in the air, and with a plop, it was thrown into the wine cup.
The wine splattered all over the mushroom table. The Liquor worm was happily rolling around in the wine cup, the Monkey Wine was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, the wine cup was completely dry.
"It's the Liquor worm!" The Gu Master at the counter exclaimed, his eyes shining. He was a Rank one Gu Master with low grade aptitude, he followed the caravan and worked in this tavern. He wanted to travel while looking for opportunities.
The Liquor worm could refine primeval essence and raise a small realm. To a Rank one Gu Master, it could be said to be an extremely precious Gu worm. Wasn't this the opportunity he had been searching for?
"Young master, I wonder if you can part with your Liquor worm?”He walked over excitedly and asked sincerely.
Meng Fanchen shook his head and rejected him firmly. Then, he stood up and left. His goal here was to expose the Liquor worm, he never thought of selling it.
"Young Master, Young Master, please wait. I'm very sincere. Perhaps we can sit down and discuss it slowly.”The Gu Master reluctantly followed Meng Fan Chen to the entrance of the tent, but Meng Fan Chen did not respond.
In the end, he could only stand rooted to the ground and watch Meng Fanchen's back turn around the corner and disappear from his sight.
Unknowingly, the sun gradually set and the moon slowly rose into the sky.
In the night, the moonlight shone down like water, but it was evaporated by the bright lights of countless shops.
The shops were crowded tonight, and business was still booming. Meng Fanchen was surrounded by the crowd as he advanced. All sorts of discussions inevitably entered his ears.
"Shops usually open for three days and three nights. Tonight was already the second night. The caravan would set off again the day after tomorrow morning. So if we want to buy something, we have to hurry.”
"Yesterday, I took a fancy to a golden bell Gu, sigh, it's too expensive. After haggling with the shopkeeper for a long time, the price was not much cheaper. I'll go and take a look tonight."
"Did you hear? It happened last night. There was a youth who actually obtained a Wasteland Toad at the stone gambling den and earned a total of 500 primeval stones!”
…Meng Fanchen listened attentively, feeling a little disappointed. He did not hear any news about the Liquor worm.
"The Liquor worm is only a Rank one Gu worm, it is of great significance to Rank one Gu Masters, but for Rank two and three Gu Masters, it cannot refine primeval essence. Therefore, it was normal for no one to pay attention to it. However, he couldn't rush to expose the Liquor worm. If he acted too pretentiously, he would be exposed.”Meng Fanchen pondered as he walked.
At this moment, the crowd in front of them surged rapidly. Immediately after, Meng Fanchen heard someone shouting,""Everyone, look, there's actually a black-hearted shop selling fake Gu to our sect!”Some people in the crowd were filled with righteous indignation.
"Hmm? Such a thing actually happened."
"Quickly go and see which shop dares to deceive our disciples!”Meng Fanchen followed along with the crowd.
He saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of a big red tent. There were three layers inside and three layers outside. Some were watching curiously, some were watching coldly with their arms crossed, but most of them had a thin layer of anger on their faces. There were two people standing at the entrance of the tent.
A young Rank two Gu Master, looking at his attire, he was obviously a Gu Master of Qingcheng Sect. The other person was familiar. It was the shopkeeper of the gambling den, Li Jin.
The young Gu Master held a black and fat Gu worm in his hand and raised it high, shouting at the surrounding people: ""Brothers, this person in front of me sold me a fake Gu yesterday. He lied to me that it was the Black Boar Gu and sold it to me for two hundred and fifty primeval stones. He did not expect to buy it and refine it. In the end, he realized that this was not a Black Boar Gu at all. It was clearly the most ordinary black fat worm!”
"Don't slander me." Li Jin sneered. When did I say that this Gu was the Black Boar Gu? What evidence do you have?"
The young Gu Master saw Li Jin denying it and was furious, grabbing Li Jin's arm: ""You profiteer, you still dare to deny it! How dare you lie to your Qingcheng Sect's master on Qingcheng Mountain? Are you courting death?!”
"Let go!" Li Jin was also furious, he waved his sleeves and slapped the young Gu Master's hand away," You want to cause trouble and extort money, but you don't know who you are dealing with. I'm not afraid of you! My brother is Li Shuai, a rank four Gu Master, what can you do to me?”
"You!" The young Gu Master glared angrily, but he did not dare to attack again. The rank four Gu Master title had already frightened him.
"Ah pui!" Li Jin spat on the ground, he raised his head and looked at the young Gu Master, sneering disdainfully," You are the one who wants to take advantage of me. Why don't you think about it, the Black Boar Gu can increase the Gu Master's strength from the foundation. It was a rare Rank one Gu worm, its market price was even higher than the Liquor worm, it was usually sold for six hundred primeval stones. Do you think you can buy the Black Boar Gu with 250 yuan? Dream on!"
" Bastard…" The young Gu Master gritted his teeth, his face was red, his entire body was trembling from anger, his chest was filled with the flames of humiliation.
The crowd buzzed and became restless as they discussed animatedly. But no one dared to step forward, Li Shuai's rank four Gu Master title was like an invisible mountain, suppressing the situation.
"This kid is too detestable. He's really a profiteer!”
"No wonder he dared to be so arrogant in Qingcheng Mountain, so he is Li Shuai's younger brother.”
"I heard that they have the same father but different mothers. They only have Rank one cultivation level, but they are used to using this relationship to lord it over the caravan.”
"What exactly happened here?”At this moment, a loud voice sounded.
"Li Shuai is here!"
"The leader is here to settle the dispute.”The discussion instantly stopped, and the crowd quickly dispersed, forming a narrow passage. A burly middle-aged Gu Master with a big belly walked in through the passageway. He wore a long sleeve yellow robe, he was the leader of this caravan, Li Shuai.
"Lord Li Shuai, greetings." Even though the young Gu Master was filled with anger, he did not dare to flare up, he endured it and cupped his fists towards Li Shuai.
Li Jin stood rooted to the ground. He did not expect his brother to come. His face suddenly turned pale, and a trace of shock and anger flashed in his eyes. Meng Fanchen, who had been secretly observing from afar, noticed this slight change in his expression and immediately fell into deep thought.
