Chapter 6 Li Laodao
After more than a month, Long Xuan returned to the market again, but this time he was no longer a buyer, but a glorious stall owner.
Long Xuan covered his face and wore a big hat. He found a place to spread a white cloth and placed nine insect jars containing Xiaoqiang Gu on it.
He placed a homemade folding chair next to him and sat on it.
Then he began to think about the pricing of Xiaoqiang Gu. It is worth mentioning that this world can be said to have currency or no currency.
Because spirit stones can only be used to exchange for cheap materials, expensive things cannot be exchanged for spirit stones, and can only be obtained through barter.
Strictly speaking, spirit stones are not the universal currency of this world.
Because spirit stones are definitely irregular in shape, some are large and some are small, and the concentration of spiritual power is also different.
Can someone absorb half of the spiritual power and then spend it? Since there are differences in spirit stones, it is even more impossible to become currency.
Spirit stones are just equivalents in this world. Trading with spirit stones is equivalent to bartering, not buying with money. Therefore, spiritual stones cannot be exchanged for priceless things.
Also because of the non-uniformity of spiritual stones, the prices of various materials are negotiated with each other, rather than a unified price in one place.
The price can only be set within a rough range, and the stall owner has a high degree of freedom.
But Long Xuan considered that the birth of a new thing should first open up the market, and the price should not be too high.
So Long Xuan thought about it and temporarily set the price of this Xiaoqiang Gu, which can be arbitrarily priced, at 300 spiritual stones. It is not too late to raise the price after word of mouth ferments.
Of course, the quality of the spiritual stone must be acceptable. It cannot be the kind of spiritual power that is about to be sucked away by people, nor can it be too small to be only the size of a little finger.
The first time he set up a stall, there were fewer things on the stall, and it looked a bit shabby, but there is a long way to go, and the things on his stall will be richer sooner or later.
After that, he put a sign with the effect and price of Xiaoqiang Gu on the stall, waiting for the first buyer to come, and waiting for the willing ones to take the bait.
He felt very novel when he was a stall owner for the first time.
His arrival immediately attracted the attention of other stall owners. The stall owner sitting right next to him was an energetic old man. After seeing the things on his stall, he said:
"Low-grade Gu worms? Gu worms are more valuable than quantity. The weakest low-grade Gu worms are not popular."
"What's more, you are not refining the Five Poisons, but the very unpopular cockroaches, so there are even fewer people willing to trade."
"There are many casual cultivators selling medium-grade Gu worms in this market, and there are even three casual cultivators selling high-grade Gu worms, and they are all unique Gu worms."
"People selling low-grade unique Gu worms are everywhere, and your things are not competitive at all."
"It doesn't matter! Good wine needs no bush. As long as there is a trader, I can open up sales." Long Xuan said very confidently.
He is very confident in the Gu worms he researched.
Li Laodao didn't care. He really didn't believe that such a young kid could research such a powerful Gu worm.
Although the effect of the Gu was written on the sign, he just thought it was exaggerated.
How could a low-grade Gu worm have such a strong ability to resist attacks? Such a strong ability could not appear in a low-grade Gu worm.
However, just as he was about to reply, Long Xuan's first customer walked to his stall, and Li Laodao shut his mouth tactfully.
Li Erniu picked up one of the Gu jars, opened it and looked at the Gu worm inside, and then looked at the sign full of words on the stall, showing a look of surprise.
He had never seen this kind of Gu worm before, and it should be a new species that was newly researched.
The emergence of new Gu always arouses people's curiosity. The newly created Gu worm may be strong or weak, or it may have some strange abilities.
However, the new Gu has not been tested in actual combat, and no combat methods have been developed. No one knows which Gu worms are most suitable for it.
Therefore, few people are willing to be the first to eat crabs.
But there are also benefits. No one will understand a new Gu species that has just come out, let alone know how to restrain it.
Danger often comes from the unknown. Having a Gu worm that the enemy has never seen before can often win by surprise.
He was going to fight a deadly enemy. The one who knows you best is always your enemy. The deadly enemy knows all his cards, so it might be a good choice to have a Gu worm that the opponent can never understand.
Li Erniu showed an interested look, looked at Long Xuan and asked: "Your Xiaoqiang Gu can make people immortal, but is it true?"
"Don't? I never said that." Long Xuan waved his hand and denied it.
"I have written it very clearly. It won't die if it is just a regular attack of the same level. After all, it is a low-grade Gu worm. There are too many ways to kill you at the same level."
"For example, if your heart is pierced by a sword, you won't die as long as you have Xiaoqiang Gu, but if your heart is cut into pieces, how can you not die."
"Xiaoqiang Gu is not yet so powerful that it can instantly restore your heart."
"But as long as you continue to improve the growth of Xiaoqiang Gu, its limit of enduring damage will become higher and higher."
"The biggest advantage of Xiaoqiang Gu is that it eats everything, including paper, leather, cotton wool, sawdust... You don't have to worry about its food problem."
Hearing this, Li Erniu's eyes lit up. This is really a very practical advantage.
Gu worms are very precious, and they eat all kinds of strange things. Some Gu worms even eat expensive things such as gold, spiritual stones, and spiritual medicines, which can often bankrupt a wealthy Gu cultivator.
Not being picky about food is definitely a plus.
"That's not bad. After all, it's just a low-grade Gu worm. If you really say that it can make people have absolutely unkillable power, I won't believe it."
"I've changed this Xiaoqiang Gu. Three medium-grade spiritual stones, keep them."
Li Erniu threw three medium-grade spiritual stones of good quality on the stall, and left with the Gu jar in his hand without saying a word.
One medium-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spiritual stones. Long Xuan's storage bag doesn't have much space, so he is more willing to take medium-grade spiritual stones.
The business was successfully opened. Long Xuan happily put away three middle-grade spirit stones and shouted casually: "Don't miss it if you pass by. Come and have a look at the best Xiaoqiang Gu. You won't be cheated if you buy it..."
Seeing that no one came for a long time, Long Xuan turned around and looked at the old stall owner who had just talked to him, intending to sell it to his peers to try.
"Old man, I'm sure you've seen what my Xiaoqiang Gu does. You're old and your legs are not good. Trading my Xiaoqiang Gu is just a insurance."
"Meeting is fate. Since you're my neighbor, I'll sell it to you at a low price. I'll charge you 299 spiritual stones."
Li Laodao immediately blew his beard and glared: "You little devil, you actually deceived me."
"I don't believe your Xiaoqiang Gu really has this ability. Although it won't make the host truly immortal, its ability is still a bit scary."
"Do you know how terrifying the actual combat effect of this ability is? In a fight, you can completely exchange injuries with your opponent. It's not an exaggeration to double your combat power out of thin air."
"This is not the ability of a low-grade Gu worm. If your Xiaoqiang Gu really has this ability, I would rather choose your Xiaoqiang Gu in front of a medium-grade Gu worm."
