Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1239 Encountering Gu Cultivators

Feng Jun offered Chairman Huang Fu a price of one thousand Spirit Stones, but did not state how many shares she should hold in Qingfeng Ridge.

Actually, there was no need to mention it; discussing such matters would seem distant. Businesspeople will naturally account for all kinds of costs, as that’s the way transactions work. But their relationship now has transcended partnership.

The next day, the two were on the road again, no longer staying in Qingfeng Town. However, Feng Jun instructed the Black Family that if anyone came under the banner of the Huang Fu Family, they should be warmly received, and any issues should be discussed amicably.

As for why? Because the Huang Fu Family has also invested in this land.

The duo arrived at Huanying Fang Market, three thousand miles away, which on a Flying Boat took just over an hour, and then they entered the Tiantong Commercial Alliance.

Chairman Huang Fu had no acquaintances at this place, but her high-level Waist Token directly alerted the shopkeeper of the branch, who invited her to the backyard and asked, "May I inquire what Chairman Huang Fu requires?"

Huang Fu responded seriously, "I want to ask, what types of healing Gu do we have here... and are there any powerful Gu Cultivators nearby?"

What are you looking for Gu Cultivators for? The shopkeeper was quite puzzled but unhesitatingly stated, "There are indeed many types of healing Gu; without boasting, our Tiantong’s healing Gu are stronger than those of Gu Cultivators... but the key is, what type does Chairman Huang Fu want?"

Honestly speaking, there aren’t many branches of the Tiantong Commercial Alliance that sell Gu Insects, but healing Gu really is abundant. Perhaps the best healing Gu is with the Gu Cultivators, but most Gu Cultivators aren’t very interested in healing Gu.

Chairman Huang Fu also knew of this situation, so she explained Feng Jun’s needs one more time.

"We don’t lack Gu Insects that can consume ulcers," the branch shopkeeper replied with a smile, "Please wait, I’ll bring some Gu species for you to choose from."

Feng Jun secretly marveled at this; Tiantong was truly vast, able to sell everything.

The shopkeeper’s tone was not small, yet he only brought three types of Gu species—no choice, Tiantong only had so much stock.

It wasn’t that Tiantong had prepared few Gu species, but healing Gu isn’t really popular, and... having three types of specialized healing Gu capable of consuming ulcers is already quite a lot, isn’t it?

Feng Jun swiped his Mobile Phone and found that two of the types were completely incapable of dealing with cancer cells; only one seemed possible—but as for why he could make such a judgment... Does it need explaining?

So he frowned a bit, "Huanying is so vast, yet there are only a few types of healing Gu?"

"That’s all there is," the shopkeeper replied with a smile, hesitating before adding, "What you need are Gu Insects in the Qi Refinement Realm; should I inquire about those in the Beyond Realm?"

"Beyond Realm..." Feng Jun pondered deeply, he needed Qi Refinement Realm Gu Insects, obviously because of Hua Hua. The Beyond Realm Gu Insects can indeed be subdued by Elder Liao Brother in Mount Zhige, but how could Feng Jun let him go to the Earth Plane?

After thinking repeatedly, he decided to first focus on what was in front of him and picked up the bottle containing Gu insect eggs, "Pericardium Gu Insect, right... What’s the price?"

"Three insect eggs, you can have it for three hundred Spirit Stones," the shopkeeper replied with a smile, "Not intentionally overpriced, but healing Gu prices won’t be low; it can heal ailments, and sold to the right person, three thousand Spirit Stones isn’t much."

Feng Jun smiled and nodded, counting out three hundred Spirit Stones, "That’s reasonable too; Beyond Realm healing Gu... Please also help keep an eye on it."

The shopkeeper nodded, "That’s no problem, there should be news within half a month, and I’ll contact Chairman Huang Fu."

The three of them walked out of the secret room smiling and arrived at the grand hall of Tiantong.

Unexpectedly, a beginner superior from not far away turned his head to look over and muttered with a frown, "Gu Insects?"

It happened that Feng Jun hadn’t yet put the small bottle into the Spirit Beast Bag, and the person felt the presence of Gu Insects.

Feng Jun’s ears are so keen? He raised his head to look over, then raised his eyebrows, "Gu Cultivator?"

The beginner superior also glanced at him before turning to the clerk attending him and angrily said, "I don’t sell Gu Insects, just pledged them here; once I retrieve the Spirit Stones, I plan to redeem them."

"Sir, pledging is possible," the clerk answered helplessly, "But we certainly have to ban it."

"Absolutely not banned," the Gu Cultivator exclaimed, "It’s a wild Gu; I’ve nurtured it for two years, you can’t let my efforts be in vain."

The clerk replied helplessly, "Then you could pledge a different Gu Insect; not banning a Gu is fraught with too many troubles."

The Gu Cultivator was left with no options and turned to Feng Jun, "You judge... does the Green Silk Spirit Grass Gu need banning?"

Feng Jun smiled and shrugged, "I’m not really a Gu Cultivator, but with this type of Gu Insect, indeed there’s no need to ban it."

The shopkeeper beside them spoke softly, "The Green Silk Spirit Grass Gu indeed doesn’t need banning, but this is a Tiantong rule; pledged Gu Insects must be banned. Many clerks are not capable of identifying Gu Insects; the Green Shadow Gu is quite similar to the Green Silk Spirit Grass Gu."

Many Shadow Gu can silently disappear if not banned.

The Gu Cultivator grew furious upon hearing this and asked coldly, "Do you suspect I’m a fraud?"

The shopkeeper smiled, "I didn’t say that, I just mentioned that similar occurrences have happened before, where the staff had to bear the losses. Therefore, the Commerce Alliance made a regulation that pledged Gu worms must be sealed... no exceptions."

The novice cultivator was taken aback upon hearing this. Gu Cultivators generally don’t interact much with the outside world, and he had just learned of this matter. Since the other party wasn’t specifically targeting him, he became more affable. "Can’t we find someone knowledgeable from the higher-ups for some leniency?"

"No leniency," the shopkeeper shook his head. "Rules are rules; you can’t just break them."

"That’s just how it is," the Gu Cultivator shook his head helplessly. He wanted to be angry, but the rules made sense. Lashing out would only tarnish the reputation of Gu Cultivators.

So he turned to Feng Jun and hesitated before speaking, "The Gu worm you bought has a very weak aura... what do you intend to do with such a weak Gu worm?"

"It’s for treating illnesses," Feng Jun replied with a smile. "The Pericardium Gu Insect can devour tumors inside the body... it’s somewhat similar to ulcers."

"Such a trashy Gu worm," the Gu Cultivator dismissively sneered, but then his eyes lit up, "You’re not a Gu Cultivator and yet you’re buying Gu worms... do you have Qi Refinement Realm Gu Cultivators with you?"

Feng Jun laughed and nodded, "Yes, there are more than one Gu Cultivator by my side."

"That’s great," the novice cultivator was overjoyed, clasping his hands and asking seriously, "Gong Yannan greets fellow Daoist, may I ask if you intend to buy more Gu worms? I happen to have some rare medical Gu insects."

Feng Jun glanced at the shopkeeper, "When we negotiate a transaction between us... are there any rules?" frёeωebɳovel.com

"There is a half-percent venue fee," the shopkeeper replied methodically, "if you need Tiantong’s authentication and notarization, it’s one percent... In front of Chairman Huang Fu, I can’t deceive you."

Feng Jun waved his hand and spoke indifferently, "It’s alright, the venue fee is very reasonable; without Tiantong’s platform, we wouldn’t have met."

Then he turned to the Gu Cultivator, "Feng Jun greets Daoist Gong, I’m still interested in medical Gu insects, have you heard of malignant tumors?"

He described the general symptoms of cancer, "I want to purchase Gu worms that can treat such tumors."

Gong Yannan frowned, trying hard to recall, "This type of tumor... why does it sound familiar?"

Just then, Huang Fu Flawless added, "It’s great if it can treat, but if not, it can at least devour."

"Hmm," Gong Yannan nodded absentmindedly, not knowing if he really heard it.

After a while, he jerked his body, his eyes suddenly brightened, "What did you say... devour?"

He clapped his hands, his eyes glowing even more, "I remember now, devour... this malignant tumor is called ’Cuckoo Occupying Nest Syndrome,’ and it can move around the body, right?"

"Exactly," Feng Jun nodded eagerly—the name ’Cuckoo Occupying Nest Syndrome’ given by the mobile phone really hits the nail on the head.

"This can be treated," Gong Yannan nodded confidently, "I’ve seen this case in the records; it can be devoured by Gu insects, but it doesn’t start devouring from the bad area, rather from the boundary between good and bad..."

"Exactly," Feng Jun nodded again, "If you have such Gu insects, I can buy the eggs and breeding method at a high price."

"I have the Gu insects," the Gu Cultivator nodded, then fell into a daze again.

Feng Jun believed this fellow was contemplating the price, so he nodded and didn’t push with words—the price is not an issue at all.

Unexpectedly, Gong Yannan, after a period of silence, worriedly said, "But I forgot to bring them... well, not forgot to bring, rather I forgot which type of Gu worm it is. I must go back and check the records, but I promise, I can find that Gu worm."

Feng Jun helplessly slapped his forehead; is this really the fearsome Gu Cultivator? Why does he seem so adorably silly? "Alright then, how long will you need?"

Gong Yannan hesitated and awkwardly replied, "I don’t live nearby, coming and going might take around ten days... Also, I need some Spirit Stones now, I’m facing a bit of trouble."

"Alright, let’s talk outside," Feng Jun spread his hands towards the shopkeeper, smiling as he spoke, "Sorry, we can’t finalize the transaction quickly, so I can’t pay the venue fee."

"Got it," the shopkeeper wasn’t angry but smiled and nodded, "Confirming that the transaction can’t proceed in the short term, it’s not a matter of refusing to pay."

Upon exiting the Tiantong Commercial Alliance, Gong Yannan whispered, "Feng Daoist, I need a thousand Spirit Stones."

Gu Cultivators really are broke! Feng Jun laughed and replied, "But you don’t have any Gu insects to trade... are you trying to borrow money?"

Gong Yannan spoke earnestly, "I could pledge the Green Silk Spirit Grass Gu and borrow two thousand Spirit Stones."

Feng Jun glanced at Huang Fu Flawless, "This price... what do you think?"

"I’m not familiar with the market for Gu insects," Chairman Huang Fu sighed quietly, then patted her Storage Bag and took out a record book, quickly thumbing through it, her eyes flashing brightly.

A little over a minute later, she put away the book and nodded to Feng Jun, "This price can be pledged."
