Gu Chaoyan maintained a calm demeanor, her reluctance evident as she spoke, “I’m not particularly inclined to sell it.”

Curiosity piqued, someone inquired eagerly, “What pill?”

“It’s a high-level elixir. Designed for those on the brink of a breakthrough at the ninth level of cultivation, this elixir can be quite beneficial. However, there are only a few available. If you’re interested, I might consider selling them to you,” Gu Chaoyan continued, her hesitation still palpable.

What? Such a pill. Even if it’s not immediately useful, there will come a time when it is! How could anyone not want it?

Seizing the opportunity, someone swiftly declared, “Yes, I want it. Ten Spirit Stones,” and promptly handed over the requested currency.

However, Gu Chaoyan remained unimpressed, showing no interest as she examined the Spirit Stones. She then a.s.serted, “Spirit Stones alone won’t cut it for this pill.”

“I require something more—Dharma artifacts or something entertaining. Feel free to offer whatever you please, and if it catches my interest, we can make an exchange,” Gu Chaoyan stated bluntly.

Frustration brewed among the crowd, with some itching to criticize Kang s.h.i.+. Yet, many held their tongues. Kang s.h.i.+, with his appearance suggesting proficiency in pill refining, likely owed his skills to prior knowledge rather than a recent boost in cultivation. Considering his past as a young genius, the a.s.sumption that he possessed pill-refining expertise wasn’t far-fetched.

The medicinal pills from before were very useful. Now that there were new medicinal pills, there might be others in the future. There was no need to offend him. If they offended him, there would probably be no benefits.

They had already recognized this fact.

“Could I exchange this middle-grade weapon among low-grade ones for one?” inquired someone, holding the weapon in his hand, addressing Dao Seeking. He still possessed an advanced-grade weapon amid his low-grade collection, and this particular one was practically unused. Swapping it for the offered pill seemed fitting; he wouldn’t be at a loss, especially considering he’d soon be able to benefit from such a pill.

Kang s.h.i.+, currently without any weaponry, found it apt to acquire one under the circ.u.mstances.

Gu Chaoyan nodded, facilitating the exchange.

Observing the outcome, the others refrained from taking advantage of the situation and presented their items one after another.

Incidentally, Gu Chaoyan noticed the presence of crystal Spirit Stones. Although not highly practical, she held a personal liking for them, prompting her to accept them in exchange.

The others perceived a glimmer of hope.

Given Kang s.h.i.+’s apparent lack of discernment between valuable and less valuable items, they exploited the situation, offering a.s.sorted items to make up the numbers.

Gu Chaoyan paid little attention to Kang s.h.i.+’s choices, accepting whatever was presented, be it useful or useless.

“If there’s nothing else, let’s call it a day. I have other matters to attend to,” Gu Chaoyan declared, expressing her reluctance to prolong the proceedings.

Understanding the situation, the partic.i.p.ants hastily presented their items as Kang s.h.i.+ prepared to leave. In a flurry, they swapped a few more items, concluding today’s affair.

Although many had nothing particularly valuable, they continued pondering Kang s.h.i.+’s pills.

“There should be other types of pills in the future. Come again when you are free, but obtaining them won’t be easy,” Gu Chaoyan stated expressionlessly.

Acknowledging their understanding, the group departed.

Once they left, Gu Chaoyan refrained from touching any of the items, patiently waiting for something to unfold.
