Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

The seats at the trade fair were numbered, starting with number one, and proceeding in order for each participant to present their items for trade.

Currently, the VIP in seat number one was taking the stage.

Upon reaching the stage, this person retrieved a small leather pouch from their spatial storage and announced, "Selling a bag of Fish Trap Grass seeds, price..."

Fang Qun immediately interrupted, "Esteemed guest number one, I apologize, but the purpose of this trade fair, organized by our building, is to help all guests exchange rare and valuable items. As I mentioned beforehand, the items for trade must be both precious and of significant value. Common, low-priced items readily available on the market should not be presented! Your Fish Trap Grass seeds can be purchased at any shop on this street. Please do not waste everyone's time! You have violated the rules of the trade fair. Considering this is your first offense, our building will not pursue the matter! However, if you repeat this, do not blame us for being unsympathetic and asking you to leave..."

Clearly, the person in seat number one was aligned with those who had previously tried to disrupt the event, with the intention of sabotaging the trade fair.

To give an example!

Imagine someone entering a five-star hotel, saying they want to eat, but refusing to order any dishes and insisting on having Spicy Soup! If you want Spicy Soup, you can go to a street food stall. Would a high-end hotel make Spicy Soup for you?

This was clearly an attempt to cause trouble and disrupt the event!

The person in seat number one was indeed there to cause trouble; he was part of the same group as those who tried to sabotage the event earlier!

After receiving Fang Qun's warning, he argued vehemently, "What! Does Chongxiao Tower have such high standards? My bag of seeds is worth over a hundred spirit stones. Why can't I trade it!"

Fang Qun shook his head, "Since this friend does not respect Chongxiao Tower, then we need not be considerate of your feelings! Guards, please escort this esteemed guest downstairs for tea!"

Two Chongxiao Tower guards approached, and the man shouted loudly, "Chongxiao Tower is assaulting people! Chong..."

But he only managed to shout one word before being silenced!

An immense pressure suppressed him completely, preventing him from uttering another word!

The source of this pressure was none other than Cang Haikong, whom Wang Xiao had invited to maintain order!

Since he was here, he naturally had to contribute when troublemakers appeared!

As the person in seat number one was escorted downstairs by the guards, Wang Xiao, who happened to be sitting near the rear staircase, activated the Dream-Eating Worm and planted a Dream Seed on him.

Fang Qun said apologetically, "I sincerely apologize for taking up everyone's time! To express our regret, our boss has decided that this trade fair will be free of charge. All previously agreed-upon appraisal fees, guarantee fees, and transaction fees will be waived. We hope for your understanding!"

Upon hearing this, the entire venue erupted in enthusiastic applause.

No one was foolish; everyone could see that the previous two individuals were there to disrupt the event.

Chongxiao Tower's decision to waive the participation fees demonstrated sufficient sincerity.

Next, the person in seat number two took the stage.

This person was a genuine participant and had come prepared. Upon reaching the stage, they presented a plant: "I recently acquired a 'Red Jade Fruit' tree in the wild. As you all know, Red Jade Fruits contain a significant amount of spiritual energy. Each fruit is equivalent to a grade one elixir, not only increasing spiritual power but also tasting quite delicious! Having this tree is like having a personal alchemist at home..."

After the person in seat number two finished their presentation, Fang Qun and an appraiser hired by Chongxiao Tower went on stage together to inspect the tree. Fang Qun then announced to the audience, "Esteemed guest number two is correct. This 'Red Jade Fruit' tree has been verified by our building, and its quality is without question!

However, our building must remind everyone that the Red Jade Fruit's growing environment requires a large amount of spiritual energy. If anyone successfully trades for it, they will need to set up a Spirit Gathering Array for it to thrive!"

With Fang Qun representing Chongxiao Tower in providing the appraisal and certification, someone in the audience immediately shouted, "How are you selling this tree?"

The owner of the tree replied, "This tree is only for trade, not for sale! I want to trade it for a combat-type Golden Spirit Gu..."

Upon hearing this price, the audience immediately fell silent!

A Golden Spirit Gu might not be much to the Three Great Families, but few people present could produce one. Even if they could, they would be unwilling to trade it for a fruit tree.

For example, Wang Xiao had several Golden Spirit Gu, but the Red Jade Fruit tree held no appeal for him. The Yan family also had these fruit trees, and Yan Ruoyun often brought Red Jade Fruits for Wang Xiao to eat.

In reality, based on value, the Red Jade Fruit tree is easy to cultivate, yields a large number of fruits, and continuously produces spiritual fruits. Its long-term value is worth a Golden Gu. However, in practice, the two are not equivalent because there are substitutes for fruit trees, whereas the position of the Golden Spirit Gu is unshakeable!

Seeing that no one was interested in trading, the owner of the tree was unwilling to lower the price and had no choice but to take the tree off the stage.

Next, the person in seat number three came to the stage. They took out a Gu egg and said to everyone, "Everyone, I have a Bronze-grade 'Earth-Drilling Worm' Gu egg here. As you all know, Earth-Drilling Worm Gu are quite rare, and I would like to trade it for a Silver-grade Spirit Gu..."

Earth-Drilling Worm, as the name suggests, this type of worm is very good at digging, but it is of little use in battle.

The use of this Spirit Gu is actually not small. For example, in the wild adventures, looking for relics, often there is digging work to be done, with such an Earth-Drilling Worm, digging efficiency is beyond doubt.

However, to exchange it for a combat-type Silver Gu, many people hesitated. Many of the people present could not produce a Golden Spirit Gu, and the Silver Spirit Gu was their most precious treasure. Exchanging it for a functional Spirit Gu was not worth it.

Just when the owner of seat number three thought it was going to be a failure, someone suddenly spoke up.

"I'll trade with you!"

A person came up from the back.

Although everyone was wearing the same clothes and masks, Zhong Li immediately recognized Wang Xiao coming up from the side of the venue.

Wang Xiao said, "What kind of Spirit Gu do you want? I'll trade with you!"

The owner of seat number three was overjoyed and said quickly, "It's best to have a Spirit Gu that is fast and has strong attack power!"

Wang Xiao nodded and took out a Gu egg: "This is a Silver-grade Tiger Beetle, with good attack, defense, and speed. Do you think it's okay?"

The owner of seat number three nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"

Of course he was satisfied. The Tiger Beetle, like the Seven-Star Beetle, is the best of the Silver Spirit Gu!

Then the two began to trade!

Fang Qun dutifully reminded from the side: "This building reminds both parties of the transaction that for Spirit Gu transactions, please hatch and recognize the owner on the spot to avoid being deceived. This building only provides on-site transaction guarantees. If you are found to be deceived afterward, this building will not be responsible for any losses!"

The owner of seat number three immediately inscribed a blood pact rune on the spot. What hatched was indeed a Silver-grade Tiger Beetle, and then he happily stepped down.

Wang Xiao did not hatch it on the spot, but took the Gu egg directly. With the system's scanning function, the person who can deceive him has not yet been born!

He had wanted an Earth-Drilling Worm for a long time. Having a mine at home but not being able to dig it out was also a kind of trouble!

Having an Earth-Drilling Worm Spirit Gu is equivalent to having a fully automatic, unmanned excavator!

From now on, Mom no longer has to worry about me not being able to mine!

Wang Xiao happily stepped down the stage with the Earth-Drilling Worm Gu egg, but Zhong Li rolled his eyes at the side! People just want a Silver Gu, can't you just give a normal one? Do you need to use a small top-quality Tiger Beetle to trade!

In the market, Tiger Beetles are very popular. One Tiger Beetle can be exchanged for two or three other Spirit Gu of the same quality.

Zhong Li felt that Wang Xiao was too extravagant.

But Wang Xiao didn't care, anyway, the Tiger Beetle was not originally his. This was originally Hua Jinlong's Spirit Gu, and it was a trophy that Wang Xiao seized after killing Hua Jinlong.

He was not afraid that the Hua family would trace it back from this. There are too many Tiger Beetle Spirit Gu in the world, who can say that it is from your Hua family!
