“Really?”
Gu Xirou went straight to the point, so she caught the attention of all of them.
Including Payne.
They all did not know how to assist the expert, they felt incapable of helping him, and thus they were only able to fight against some smaller ghosts. How could they ever repay the kindness the expert had shown them?
Therefore, as long as they had not done something for the expert, they dared not to visit him.
Although the expert had always been very friendly and generous, he might not even hold it against them. However, their guilty conscience did not allow themselves to do nothing. Although the things they could do were of nothing significant in the eyes of the expert, they had to be sincere and genuine!
“The expert wouldn’t look up at ordinary things, I think everyone would not be foolish enough to give him those gifts.” Gu Xirou said calmly, she continued to show up, “The other day, I gave a seed to the expert. The expert seemed to be quite pleased.”
Gu Yuan nodded, he said, “I do know about this. The expert is quite interested in plant seeds, especially the fruit plant seeds.”
Payne looked at Gu Xirou, he said, “Unless you have some ways of getting those seeds?”
“Although I’m not doing so well in the Immortal Land, I do happen to know many corners unknown to the others.” Gu Xirou looked at the crowd, she continued, “There are quite some treasures there, but there are certain risks involved. It’s worth it to fight for them.”
“No wonder you never answer when I summon you. You’re always in danger or running away from danger.” Yao Mengji looked at his Sect Mistress blankly, he found it hard to imagine how daring she was.
Gu Xirou smiled, “As they said, one could gain wealth from danger, one has to fight in order to gain an opportunity. That’s just how things are, what do you all think?”
“If we could help the expert, I’d do anything!” Gu Changqing made a gesture, he said politely, “I wonder what did Immortal Gu prepare to do?”
“The seed I got the other day, I exchanged it in a black market. I was chased after because of the seed.” Gu Xirou halted, she continued, “Although the black market likes to collect food, they have quite a lot of treasures. They even have quite some treasures from the ancient times. They have the concept of exchanging treasure for treasure.”
“Exchanging treasure for treasure?”
Everyone halted, they understood right away. “What you’re saying is that we should all gather some treasures?”
Gu Xirou nodded, “Yeah, and they must be rare treasures! I have gathered two oranges from the expert here, take out yours.”
Payne did not hesitate, he instantly took out the sawdust Li Nianfan tossed away the other day, “I have some Spiritual Roots here.”
“I also have an orange here, and some tea leaves.” The Holy Emperor also took out his items.
The tea leaves were given by the expert long time ago. The leaves consisted of Insights, he only took a small sip everyday to have kept it until now.
The treasures from the expert were something extremely precious, but they did not hesitate to bring them all out today.
There were three oranges, eight pieces of Spiritual Root and a small portion of tea leaves.
They placed them all on the table. Though the crowd eyed the items as if looking at the most precious items in the world.
Payne was uneasy, “Immortal Gu, are they reliable? This is all of our assets.”
“It’s definitely reliable, but we have to be cautious.” Gu Xirou smiled, “I’ve shown my face the other day, I can’t go this time. Brother Changqing has recently Immortalized, you’re a new Immortal. You’re the best candidate for this.”
The crowd discussed for another while, they were excited as they travelled toward the Immortal Land.
Immortal Land.
Gu Changing had a mask on, he followed Gu Xirou’s instruction to a town. He then cautiously felt his chest and walked over.
He was not even as anxious when he Immortalized. He now had such a huge sum on him. There were three oranges!

He was so scared of being robbed.
The thought of the following trade with the black market made him even more anxious.
It did not take long before he arrived at a shop in the deep end of the black market.
The entire shop was pitch dark, there was only a black curtain hanging. It looked extremely solemn.
“It’s here.”
Gu Changqing took a deep breath and gradually walked over.
In the darkness, a hoarse voice was heard.
“Here for a trade?”
Gu Changqing calmed himself down, he said, “Right.”
“Been here before?”
“No.”
“Alright. Bring out your item.”
A faint light appeared in the room, an elder gradually appeared in front of Gu Changqing.
“This is an orange?”
The elder frowned. He found it hard to believe. His first reaction was feeling insulted.
However, he had seen a lot. Soon, his face became extremely solemn, he gasped.
In fact, he was becoming more and more shocked.
“Spiritual Root Immortal Fruits? This orange has the Spiritual Root?!?
“This sawdust…Hmm? Consisting Spiritual Root as well? Who had the heart to destroy them so badly?”
“The tealeaves, they consist of Insights, they could trigger an enlightenment!”
This, this, this…
Even with the composure of the elder, he could not help taking a gasp. He felt a tsunami in him.
These three items were too terrifying. It was unbelievable!
Any of the three items would be highly regarded by him. However, the amount of each was not much.
This Immortal must have gotten so lucky! How could he get so lucky?
He repressed his urge to fight him, he asked, “What would you like to exchange?”
Gu Changqing said without hesitation, “Treasure from the ancient times. Preferably some special treasures.”
“Certainly!” The elder did not even think twice. He agreed right away.
He waved his hands. A black compass disk appeared in the air in front of Gu Changqing. It was glowing with a strange Qi coming out from it. It had the Qi of the ancient times.
The elder introduced, “This is a Thousand Spell Disc, it has a hundred thousand types of spells in it. Although it is only an Inferior Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, if one could skillfully use the spells in it, its power would not be less than an Intermediate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. What do you say?”
Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, it was hardly acceptable.
Gu Changqing let out a long relief, he nodded, “I’ll trade!”
The elder’s eyes locked at Gu Changqing, he said with his hoarse voice, “Brother, if you’d tell me the source of these items, I will give you another Heavenly Spiritual Treasure for free. I’ll mark you as a VIP!”
“No need.” Gu Changqing shook his head, without hesitation, he turned and walked away. “Goodbye!”
The elder looked at the back of Gu Changqing. His eyes squinted into a line.
“These three items, each of them had gone extinct in the Immortal Land. It’s impossible to come across those, let alone begging for it, how could a newly Immortalized small Immortal gain those things?”
The elder’s heart was thumping rapidly. If he could find out the source of these, it would be an unbelievably big opportunity!
“These are way more precious than the Golden Bees Honey and the Firefinch eggs from not long ago. Unfortunately, we never heard back from the people we sent out the other time. We can’t miss anything this time round!”
The elder’s eyes had a violent glint, he gritted his teeth and said, “Just to make sure, I’ll send out three Real Immortals over this time! I don’t believe that they can’t even take down a small Tian Immortal!”
Gu Changqing walked out of the shop. He did not care about his back, he went straight out of the town.
He drove on the cloud in one direction.
He only gradually slowed down after he arrived at an empty mountain. Behind him, three figures were quietly following him, they hid their Qi from him. They only wanted to follow behind Gu Changqing to see if they could find out more about his secrets.
“A mere Tian Immortal is able to gain so much Spiritual Root? He’s likely to have come across a secret border of the ancient times.”
“I feel that we must’ve fished a big fish this time. We might come across a huge opportunity! We’re getting rich! Ha-ha-ha!”
“Alright, be careful. Don’t lose him. Have you forgotten that they have not heard back from the two Tian Immortals they sent out the other day?”
“How can you compare us to the two of them? We’re Real Immortals, we can do anything in the Immortal Land! We’re powerful!”
As the three of them were speaking, they suddenly felt the atmosphere around the did not seem right. They had a strange feeling arousing in them.

They looked up to realize that they had somehow been surrounded.
Payne, Gu Yuan, Gu Xirou and Gu Changqing were silently looking at them. For safety reasons, they even called up Ding Xiaozhu. The five of them perfectly surrounded the three of them.
The three of them were terrified, they weakly staggered a few steps backward.
“Oh, we just happened to pass by. What do you all mean? Is there a misunderstanding?”
“Brother, I’m sorry. I didn’t know there are so many of you.”
“Sorry to have disturbed. Goodbye!”
Payne scoffed with a mocking smile, “You didn’t disturb us. Come, show me how powerful you are, show me how you can do anything in the Immortal Land!”
