The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

"Deal!"

Since this broken map couldn't be traded for even a single spiritual stone, now that someone wants it, I'll trade it no matter how little is offered. Any amount is a gain.

The little medicine boy put down the broken map, picked up the medicine bottle on the table, and left.

Long Xuan was stunned for a moment. He dared to sell just one thing, and it was a broken map at that. Isn't he ashamed of selling such a shabby item?

The little medicine boy left, and now that Long Xuan was closest to the table, he didn't hesitate. He stepped forward and began placing his items on the table one by one.

The materials listed on the Divine ice Flame formula were too precious and rare. Most of them could only be obtained through exchanging and not bought with spiritual stones.

Since there was a treasure exchange, he decided to collect the materials for the Divine ice Flame formula.

But to trade for so many expensive materials, he had to offer many valuable treasures. Otherwise, who would trade with him?

However, showing off wealth could also attract attention, which is unavoidable. You can't stop collecting materials or give up refining the Divine ice Flame for fear of danger.

This treasure exchange event was already the safest way to obtain resources. He couldn't give up on it.

After so many years of accumulation, he couldn't offer treasures worth a fortune, but he still had many valuable items.

For example, he often visited Qian's commerce stone gambling shop to fleece them, collecting a bunch of high-grade spiritual insects. Most of these high-grade spiritual insects were of no use to him, so he took this opportunity to deal with them.

And the various spiritual pills he refined years ago, which were about to expire, he sold all of them this time to make new ones.

These spiritual pills were all common types, not unique formulas, so he could sell them boldly.

He also took out various treasures he found at street stalls but didn't use. For a moment, all sorts of treasures filled the table, forming a sharp contrast with the little medicine boy who just left. Without comparison, there is no harm.

The people below craned their necks, showing interest in the items he took out, all inclined to trade.

"I only want Millennium Ice Essence, Cold Stones, Fire Stones..."

Long Xuan listed some of the hardest materials to collect for the Ice Flame Divine formula.

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Xin quickly walked over, fearing someone else would trade for what she wanted before her.

"I don't have the most precious Millennium Ice Essence, but I have twenty percent of the other materials. I want to trade for all your high-grade and middle-grade spiritual insects."

Long Xuan looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect to find twenty percent of the materials for the Divine ice Flame formula in one person. She was truly wealthy. As a formation master, her material collection was indeed abundant.

She could have twenty percent of the materials for the Divine ice Flame formula, not by coincidence, but because she was so wealthy that she had all kinds of materials. Long Xuan confirmed she was a little rich woman and looked at her deeply.

And wanting to trade for all his high and middle-grade spiritual insects surprised Long Xuan even more. High-grade spiritual insects were precious, but only if you had the formulas for them. Otherwise, they were useless and only consumed your resources.

Therefore, trading high-grade spiritual insects wasn't easy. Displaying these items at street stalls could invite trouble, so he saved up so many.

Could it be that Di Xin had a vast collection of formulas covering all his spiritual insects?

Long Xuan couldn't believe it. How many formulas did she steal without getting killed by others?

"The values are roughly equivalent, deal."

Long Xuan couldn't distinguish who gained or lost slightly, but as long as it was roughly equivalent, he didn't care to calculate too much. After all, such detailed calculations would take forever, so he made the trade swiftly.

Long Xuan's items were popular and were traded clean in no time.

By now, he had collected half of the materials for the Divine ice Flame formula. Though still needing more, the remaining materials were common ones.

Except for the Millennium Ice Essence, all remaining materials could be bought with spiritual stones at Qian's business.

Unfortunately, due to the saturated Gu market lacking spiritual stones, he came to this treasure exchange to try his luck. Now he could only hope the treasure marked on the map would surprise him.

Now all that was missing were the spiritual stones. He prayed the treasure on the map would sell for a high price.

After Long Xuan left, an acquaintance, Li Laodao, took over. After greeting him, Li Laodao began placing various harmful internal Gu on the table.

All were used to harm others, making many below turn pale and their hearts race, looking at him with fear and caution.

Long Xuan was naturally uninterested. He considered these tricks that might harm one person but had limited practical use in actual combat because they killed too slowly, giving opponents a chance to fight back.

If Li Laodao focused on the righteous path, he wouldn't have been so miserable in the ancient tomb last time.

But while he wasn't interested, many others were. Such Gu insects didn't count against their Gu quotas and could be prepared in large numbers.

Many loose cultivators stepped forward to trade, including the female cultivator who previously traded the soundproof formations with Di Xin, taking all of Li Laodao stone Gu.

Long Xuan felt gleeful and thought that woman was indeed planning to harm someone. He silently wondered who the unlucky person would be and offered them his condolences.

After Li Laodao, several others took their turns, and the treasure fair ended.

Many casual cultivators didn't step up because they were too poor to show off. They weren't as shameless as the little medicine boy, who dared to present a broken map, which was embarrassing.

If all these casual cultivators showed their treasures, the fair could last all day.

After the treasure fair, everyone gradually left, many with satisfied smiles, having gained much.

Long Xuan mingled in the crowd, heading out. He had also gained a lot from this trip. Besides the materials, the treasure map alone was a huge gain. The treasure it marked could be worth billions, and he was very hopeful.

However, he didn't know that three people were secretly following him, led by the female casual cultivator who traded the soundproof array, accompanied by two fierce-looking men.

"Are you sure it's him? He looks young," one bald man said via soul communication.

The female cultivator glanced at Long Xuan's back and replied via soul communication, "He may not be the richest, but he's definitely the weakest. Who else would we target?"

"The road to Great Stone Village is his only path, though it's too close to the market, within the no-kill zone. I specifically traded for an formation that isolates fight sounds, ensuring success."

The other fierce man nodded, "The road is perfect. I've already planted stone Gu on it, and with us three against him, success is guaranteed..."

Long Xuan, unaware he was being followed, saw it was still early and wandered around the market, enjoying a good meal at the best restaurant.

Longevity should be about enjoying life, farming, and not getting involved in the scheming Gu world. Cultivation could be left to his clone, allowing him leisure.

Life should be enjoyed, not suffered.

If it weren't for the fact that all the beautiful Gu cultivators in this world liked to refine Love Gu, he would have wanted to go to entertainment places.

After eating and drinking, he wandered through the night market until late, then headed to Great Stone Village, humming a tune and looking pleased.

Little did he know, his actions made the ambushers suffer, hiding in the grass and feeding mosquitoes all day, thinking he wouldn't come.

Just as they were about to give up, they saw him, making their eyes gleam with hatred.

Long Xuan wasn't a god and didn't know about the ambush. Ironically, he became the unlucky one he spoke of, with disaster falling from the sky.

However, despite not anticipating this, he remained cautious.

Living next to the scheming Li Laodao had filled him with dread. He always felt danger and feared being harmed by some schemer.

Thus, Normally, he would keep the Eye of Heavenly secret open when passing through, magnifying everything in front of him and being overly cautious.

It was this cowardly caution that saved his life today.
