Chapter 855: The Trade Fair, Three Thousand Firms, Auction
"A trade fair?"
"Yes. The Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom is a neutral force in the Violet Gold Galaxy. Therefore, many cultivators come here, and they occasionally gather to trade things that they don't want," said Tang Haitang.
That piqued Chu Kuangren's interest a little. He did have some unused Daoist weapons and treasures that could be traded.
Perhaps he might get some unexpected gains.
"Let's go together." Chu Kuangren smiled.
"Great."
Tang Haitang was quite delighted.
Ever since she met Chu Kuangren a few days ago, his figure had been wandering in her mind.
She realized that she seemed to have taken a liking to him. Was that what people called 'love at first sight'?
Along the way, Tang Haitang could not help but secretly look over at Chu Kuangren's nose, mouth, eyes…
Alone, they did not seem attractive.
However, they looked exceptionally charming together.
My goodness. How could there be such a handsome man in the world?
Tang Haitang could not help but scream in her heart.
Chu Kuangren noticed her little act and sighed to himself. 'D*mn! What a charm I have.'
"Master, she's eager for your body," said the Omniscient Spirit, Lil Ai.
"What a fuss. Many are eager for my body."
Lil Ai was speechless.
At the trade fair, there were indeed many cultivators. Most of them placed their unwanted items on the cloth in front of them and shouted.
"The best Emperor Weapon that can defend against the attack of a Daoist Celestial. Don't miss it. Come and have a look."
"An Immortal Weapon's fragments. Does anyone want it?"
"An Immortal pill from the eight epoch ruins of the universe. Come and have a look. Buy it now so that you can become an Immortal earlier!"
All kinds of exaggerated shouts sounded. Some were selling Immortal Weapons, some Immortal pills, and some even Immortal manuscripts.
Chu Kuangren took a glance and felt a little disappointed as they were all third-rate goods that were not useful to him.
The trade fair was a little lacking in standards.
"Brother Chu, the largest trading platform in the trade fair, Three Thousand Firms, is up front. The real good things are all over there."
"I hope they don't let me down," Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Three Thousand Firms, three thousand worlds; anything could be traded.
The Three Thousand Firms had a mysterious origin and were the most mysterious organization in the Violet Gold Galaxy. Apparently, they existed in other galaxies too.
Chu Kuangren knew he was at the right place as soon as he arrived at that firm.
They did not have a lot of things, but they were all of premium quality.
"Hey, Lady Tang. You're here."
An old man greeted Tang Haitang immediately after seeing her.
Although Tang Haitang's cultivation base was not high, she was the precious daughter of the Godly Moon Daoist Celestial. As such, everyone in the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom knew her.
Even a Daoist Celestial would have to hold a modest attitude upon meeting her.
"Mmhm."
Tang Haitang nodded and said to Chu Kuangren, "Brother Chu, he is the person in charge of
Three Thousand Firms in the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom. You can tell him if there's
anything you'd like to buy or trade."
"Alright."
Chu Kuangren nodded.
Beside him, Manager Li looked at Chu Kuangren strangely. "It's you, Brother Chu. It's an honor to meet you."
"Oh, you know me?"
"Brother Chu, you must be kidding. Everyone in the Violet Gold Galaxy knows you. You've defeated the Immortal Progenies who joined forces to attack you. You're the champion of Violet Blood Planet." Manager Li smiled.
Chu Kuangren smiled and said, "Manager Li, there are a few things here that I would like to trade with your firm. Please have a look."
Then, Chu Kuangren took out a few Daoist weapons he got from Violet Blood Planet. They were not of much use to him.
Manager Li's eyes lit up when he saw them. "Daoist weapons! There's also a top-notch Daoist weapon. These are all good items."
He observed it carefully. "Brother Chu, are you sure you want to trade it with us?"
"Yeah."
"What would you like to exchange them for?"
"Spiritual marrows will do," said Chu Kuangren. He did not lack anything for the time being. Therefore, exchanging spiritual marrows to keep in his body as a pure spiritual qi crystal would do just fine. After all, spiritual marrows were a hard currency in the entire universe.
"If it's spiritual marrows, we can only offer up to two billion catties. However, I suggest you auction these Daoist weapons. The price will be higher than ours," Manager Li suggested.
Upon hearing that, a hint of mischievousness lit up in Chu Kuangren's eyes.
There was hardly a business in which buyers were considerate of sellers.
Chu Kuangren would not reject if Manager Li were to buy the Daoist weapon with two billion catties of spiritual marrows and then auction it to earn a net profit of several hundred million. However, Manager Li did not do that. He reminded Chu Kuangren that he could put it on the auction instead.
He was trying to build a good relationship with Chu Kuangren.
After all, a top-notch Immortal Progeny had huge potential. Compared to several hundred million spiritual marrows, having a good relationship with Chu Kuangren might have greater benefits in the future.
Chu Kuangren knew this and accepted the fact. "Manager Li, I'll leave the trading of these Daoist weapons to you."
"Great. I'll put them up for auction."
Beside him, Tang Haitang's expression changed.
"Will there be an auction soon?"
"Yes. It's today."
"It seems like we came at the right time. I suppose the Three Thousand Firms won't mind adding the two of us?" Tang Haitang smiled.
"Not at all, Lady Tang. I sent an invitation letter to the city lord's mansion a few days ago. However, I heard the Godly Moon City Lord has been busy recently and can't show up. I didn't expect you to be here."
Manager Li smiled.
"Mmhm… My father has been a little busy recently."
Tang Haitang did not say much.
Godly Moon Daoist Celestial was busy collecting materials according to Chu Kuangren's instructions lately as they were planning to awaken her Immortal Physique.
That was a secret, and only a few people knew about it.
The auction was held in the inner hall of Three Thousand Firms, and there were not many people. However, each one of them represented a prestigious force in the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom, such as top-notched cultivation families, orthodoxies, and more.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw Tang Haitang come in. Then, they stood up and bowed, showing great enthusiasm for her.
No matter how arrogant these representatives were, they dared not provoke the Godly Moon Daoist Celestial in the Ancient Godly Moon Kingdom.
As his precious daughter, Tai Haitang was very famous.
"Haitang, you're here too." A young man approached Tang Haitang happily and greeted her intimately.
Upon hearing this, Tang Haitang hurriedly glanced at Chu Kuangren as if worried that he would misunderstand. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw his usual expression, but she was a little disappointed too.
No change in his facial expression meant that he did not have any feelings for her?
"Brother Wang, please call me Lady Tang or Sister Tang. Calling me Haitang is too intimate."
The young man did not feel embarrassed to hear that. Instead, he glanced at Chu Kuangren with a wary look in his eyes as if he was looking at a rival in love. "This is…"
"This is my friend, Brother Chu," said Tang Haitang.
Everyone then looked at Chu Kuangren. For a moment, they were deeply attracted by his extraordinary temperament and appearance.
"He is extraordinary."
"Indeed. I wonder which sky-pride he is?"
For a while, the representatives of these forces could not remember who Chu Kuangren was.. After all, their capability in obtaining information was much worse than Three Thousand Firms.
