Gu Chen just watched all of this coldly, with no intention of getting the wine glass or speaking. The atmosphere was extremely awkward for a while.
Xiao Jing is different from others. When Gu Chen was hunted down by so many people, he was the biggest contributor.
To be honest, if he were in another place and would not be noticed by Tiandaozong, he would even directly kill him. How could he still choose to forgive him?
Seeing that Gu Chenli ignored him, Xiao Jing's face turned red and white, but he still held back his anger and left in embarrassment.
As soon as he left, the three of them looked at each other.
"Cousin Gu Chen is so powerful. I know that Xiao Jing has high hopes in the Tiandao Sect. He is very talented and arrogant, yet he would be so humble in front of you."
Gu Shenming praised.
"I'm afraid it's not me that's so good, but there's something fishy about this matter." Gu Chen's eyes were thoughtful.
After the banquet, Ding Yao came to find the three of them and led them upstairs to attend the trade fair.
Although there are many guests attending the banquet tonight, only a few can participate in the trade fair. Without a certain background and a certain net worth, they are not qualified.
Many of the people present were true disciples of various major immortal sects, and one-third of them knew Gu Chen, and they all came to toast him tonight.
The trade fair began soon, and everyone took out their treasures and proposed trading conditions. Some wanted to exchange for magical elixirs that were useful to them, while others simply wanted to exchange for a piece of Yuanjing.
The three of them, Gu Chen, also took out herbs that were tens of thousands of years old that they had obtained from the secret realm of the ancestral land. The people present were all very wealthy and could easily be auctioned at high prices.
Since the herbs obtained by the three people are of high vintage and rare, they can be used to refine many practical elixirs, so they are very popular.
The most popular among them was Gu Chen's elixir. Every time he traded an herb, the final transaction price was two to three percent higher than that of Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming.
At first, he thought he was lucky, but later when he took out the same herbs as Gu Ziyan and the final transaction price was higher than hers, he realized something was wrong.
He found that most of the people who bought his medicinal herbs were the true disciples of the Immortal Sect who had offended him before. For example, Ding Yao actually bought his medicinal herbs at half the market price.
But Xiao Jing was even more amused. He had a medicinal herb that was of poor quality and the types of elixirs he could refine were relatively unpopular. He actually rushed to buy it, paying double the price of others.
They explained very well what it means to be stupid and have too much money, which made the three of them, Gu Chen, look at each other and whisper.
"Cousin Gu Chen, are they deliberately buying herbs at high prices to please you and want you to stop caring about their faults?"
"Hey, if I had known earlier, I would have asked Gu Chen to help me with the auction, so I could have made several percent more profits out of thin air."
Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming were both puzzled. Even if these people had misunderstandings with Gu Chen, they had already drank the apology wine. There was no need to go to such an extent to please them, right?
Gu Chen was also dumbfounded. People who didn't know better thought he had such amazing power that he could actually make the true disciples of the major immortal sects be so humble.
But the fact is that although he has established a firm foothold in the Gu clan, he is still unknown on the entire continent.
"No matter what their intentions are, they will reveal their motives sooner or later. Since they want me to make a fortune, I will accept it."
Gu Chen sneered and decided not to refuse anyone who came.
The trade fair ended soon, and Gu Chen made a lot of money. The profit was twice as high as expected.
He received a large amount of Yuan Jing and exchanged it for a bunch of fifth-level fine elixirs to enhance his cultivation. He would not be short of cultivation resources for a long time.
"Brother Gu, can you move to the box and talk to me? My senior brother wants to see you."
When the show was over, Xiao Jing, who had just been taken advantage of, came to the door and said to Gu Chen with a flattering look on his face.
"Your senior brother? Which one?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.
"It's the one you saw last time on Penglai Island, my Tiandao Sect's chief senior brother Zuo Chunqiu." Xiao Jing explained.
"Zuo Chunqiu?"
Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming looked moved when they heard this. Zuo Chunqiu was recognized as one of the top ten geniuses in mainland China, and his reputation on the genius list was even higher than that of his cousin Lianyue.
The world recognizes that he will be the future leader of the Tiandao Sect, and the strength of the Tiandao Sect can definitely be ranked among the top three among the Thirteen Immortal Sects.
In other words, people like Zuo Chunqiu will sooner or later become the pinnacle of the Fairy Continent. It is precisely because he is so powerful that even Gu Zhaixing wants to challenge him.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Chunqiu actually made an appointment with Gu Chen, which surprised Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming.
It stands to reason that Gu Chen should not have any interaction with him since he returned from overseas soon.
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and vaguely understood who was responsible for everything tonight.
I am afraid that only Zuo Chunqiu has the energy to make the true disciples of the major immortal sects come to apologize to him, and also made him a windfall.
He couldn't help but guess again and again. He and he had barely spoken to each other the last time they met. What was his purpose in treating him like this?
Showing courtesy for nothing, being either an adulterer or a thief, Gu Chen realized that Zuo Chunqiu must have something up his sleeve.
"Okay, lead the way."
Gu Chen asked Gu Ziyan and Gu Shenming to go back first, and followed Xiao Jing to a private room on the highest floor of the restaurant.
He was not worried about Zuo Chunqiu's evil intentions. This was a grand event for immortality, and the elders of the Gu clan were all there. Even if he was the future leader of the Tiandao Sect, he would not dare to make a mistake.
Gu Chen entered the box. Zuo Chunqiu had obviously been waiting for him for a long time. He stood up immediately and came forward to greet Gu Chen.
He has conspicuous short silver hair, slender eyes, and a harmless smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, we met again. It's really different from the past. When I see you again, I feel much more energetic than before."
Zuo Chunqiu seemed very enthusiastic, as if the two were friends.
Gu Chen knew that the other party saw that he had solved the longevity crisis, so he didn't say much, sat down in his seat, and asked straight to the point.
"Did you arrange all this tonight, Fellow Daoist Zuo?"
Zuo Chunqiu smiled and did not refute. "I wonder if Taoist friend Gu is still satisfied?"
Gu Chen smiled and said nothing. How could he be dissatisfied? A group of immortal sect true disciples had given him enough face and made him earn a large amount of Yuan Jing. Anyone would be happy if he did it.
But this actually shows Zuo Chunqiu's influence and skill from the side. Even if Xiao Jing buys it, other disciples of the Immortal Sect actually give him this face.
"It's really flattering that Fellow Daoist Zuo treats Gu so courteously. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. If Gu can do it, I will naturally try my best to agree." Gu Chen showed his politeness and propriety.
"Fellow Daoist Gu is indeed a cheerful person. Since you said so, Zuo won't hide it anymore."
Zuo Chunqiu's smile faded slightly and he said seriously.
"Last time on Penglai Immortal Island, Fellow Daoist Gu used the Secret of Time technique, and Zuo wanted to exchange it with you. No matter what the conditions are, as long as you ask for them, Zuo will try to satisfy them!"
