Chapter 370 There is no business without treachery
Everyone was silent. Baili hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether he should add treasures to the exchange, or even how much treasures he should add.

Just when he sighed in his heart and thought that he might not have a chance to get this little dragon vein, he changed his mind and thought that maybe he could try another method, such as selling the information of this little dragon vein in exchange for resources. This was also a last resort.

Although Zhou Tieyi guessed that Baili might have a clue to a small dragon vein, he was not in a hurry to propose an exchange with Baili, because he had many uses for mastering the [Mirage], and it was not worth spending money on the clue of a small dragon vein. Even if he wanted to exchange, he should bypass the Taixu Illusion Realm.

After Baili thought it through, he dispersed the two treasures he had materialized, then returned to his position, signaling others to start the trade.

Zhou Tieyi thought about it and realized that most people at this trade fair were attracted by his peach and plum fruits. He did not disappoint them and stepped forward as the second person to materialize white peach and plum fruits.

"Ginseng fruit, 1,150 Taixuhuan coins for each. We will also purchase incomplete artifacts and complete mid-quality corpses, not limited to exotic beasts or humans. Those with larger quantities will be given priority."

The top three-grade cultivators hidden in the trade fair heard Zhou Tieyi's exchange conditions and began to think.

The price of Taixu Fantasy Coin is a pricing benchmark to measure what he really needs in the future.

Judging from the information obtained from the previous trade fair, Zhou Tieyi really needs an incomplete artifact, and a complete corpse... Everyone looked at the fruit that looked like a less than one-month-old baby, and they probably had some guesses.

One person asked tentatively, "Wasn't it one thousand Taixuhuan coins per piece at the last trade?"

Zhou Tieyi sneered and asked, "Do you think you are a high-level member of the Grand Illusion Realm?"

Although he spoke impolitely, his conclusion was widely accepted by everyone.

Can the price be the same when sold to the 'official' and to the 'individual'?

After this man shut up, scattered transaction information gathered to Zhou Tieyi. They were all accumulated buyers of ginseng fruit. Because he deliberately delayed selling it after spreading the news of ginseng fruit last time, the transaction volume this time was very large.

In total, the demand for nearly one hundred ginseng fruits came from more than thirty buyers, and many large buyers were still making tentative purchases. Once they determined the value of the ginseng fruits, they would start buying in large quantities.

A good example is the Yueqin that I have already purchased, and this time I want thirty at one time!

Naturally, these one hundred Zhou Tieyi could not be supplied immediately. He now had many ways to obtain resources, including through the Mishan Arena, the Zhou family itself, the Mohist school, the Gongshu school, and the Savage Tribe.

But even though they are all big resource consumers, it takes time for him to replenish mid-quality corpses. So this time, he used complete mid-quality corpses to settle transactions with many buyers, and settled the transactions separately instead of all at once. He gave priority to buyers who could provide large quantities of corpses at a low price. The reason was simple: it takes time for fruit to grow on a tree.

Zhou Tieyi's huge deal occupied the main stage of this trade fair. After the transaction was completed, all parties were satisfied after tentatively obtaining the guarantee of the first batch of ginseng fruit.

Afterwards, the items traded by the real middle-level practitioners were not of much interest to the various forces, but since they were already there, they decided to participate a little and made a move once or twice, making this trade an unprecedented success.

After the transaction phase, it is time to exchange information.

Zhou Tieyi thought about it and realized that the role he was going to play in the Taixu Illusion Realm was an ancient mountain god of the Taihang Mountains who had just revived. So knowing the changes in Mo City just happened to reflect his identity.

So he smiled and said, "Everyone, the Taihang Mountains are very lively recently."

After he said this, a lot of eyes gathered and fell on Zhou Tieyi's body shrouded in mist. What everyone wanted to know most now was Zhou Tieyi's identity, so that they would have a chance to obtain the mother tree that produces ginseng fruit!
Baili was the host, and he was very close to the Taihang Mountains. He asked in the tone and mentality of a host, "Did Mr. Panda hear any news?"

"There isn't much news, but the changes are clear. A few days ago, the sky in Mo City changed color and the moon was shining brightly. And just now, a few hours ago, a pillar of lunar light appeared in Mo City. What do you think is the reason for this?"

Even if most of the middle-level practitioners knew about this, they would not deliberately delve into it, because neither the bright moon nor the changes in Mo City had anything to do with them.

After a moment of silence, Yueqin spoke up, thinking that the panda was her companion and she didn't want to let him down, "Since ancient times, the sun and the moon have symbolized the Holy Way. The leader of the Mohist School is one of the best in the world and one of the few people closest to the Holy Way. Does the change in the celestial phenomena of the bright moon and the moon in the sky indicate that the leader of the Mohist School is trying to touch the Holy Way?"

She actually had another reason. Their family was the first to know about the article "On Wealth", and from her father, Yueqin knew that Mozi's Taoist tradition might have changed. However, no one knew whether this was a touch of the holy way or an illusion. After all, there had not been a saint for eight hundred years.

But considering the Taiyin reaching the sky in Mo City just now, it seems that the possibility of touching the Holy Way is greater.

After Yue Qin revealed the underlying cause, the middle-level practitioners began to react and commented in disbelief.

"Is there going to be another saint? But even if there is a saint, it should be from the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, right?"

His words immediately caused disdain from others.

"How can the path to sainthood be repeated? If, as you said, saints must come from the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, then after so many years, the three schools should have produced the second and third saints. This proves that in the path to sainthood, learning the saintly tradition does not provide any additional help in becoming a saint, because every saint is different. So thirty years after the Taoist master, the Buddha ascended to heaven, and thirty years after the Buddha, the Confucian saint ascended to heaven."

"That's true. Back then, the military strategist had the opportunity to become a saint, but unfortunately..."

Once the topic was started, this time with the participation of practitioners from the top three levels, many secrets were touched upon, giving the middle-level practitioners a feast for the ears.

Compared to others, Baili, the water god, cares more about the result. Is a saint about to appear?
No, not necessarily. Maybe it’s just a sign of the appearance of a saint.

He thought of the recent unstoppable changes in the dragon vein, and an expression of enlightenment appeared on his face. "So that's it, so that's it. I was wondering why a good dragon vein would change so quickly. It turns out it's a sign that a saint is about to appear."

In the discussions, everyone got some information they wanted, that is, the owner of the ginseng fruit, the panda, may have his roots in Taihang Mountains, or he attaches great importance to the changes in Taihang Mountains.

So someone tentatively said, "I heard that Shinto and Daxia are both making intensive moves in Taihang Mountains, and a new war may break out there."

As he spoke, his eyes hidden in the mist looked in the direction of Zhou Tieyi. If Zhou Tieyi had roots in Taihang Mountains, he would naturally react accordingly.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhou Tieyi said with some sigh, "These are troubled times."

After briefly bringing up the topic, Zhou Tieyi did not continue discussing it in public.

After the trade fair was over, Baili received a request from Zhou Tieyi for a private transaction. This was a normal thing, and Baili was not surprised and met with Zhou Tieyi in a separate room.

Zhou Tieyi said directly, "Sir Baili, I want to trade that Dongzhu."

Baili asked tentatively, "Sir Panda, do you have a secret treasure that can conceal the secrets of heaven?"

Zhou Tieyi thought about it and replied with a smile, "That kind of secret treasure is related to one's life and property, who would easily trade it away?"

He did not deny that he had this secret treasure.

His current identity is an ancient resurrected god who controls a strange tree. Possessing a secret treasure that conceals the secrets of heaven is very consistent with his current identity. At the same time, he also pointed out the biggest flaw in the Baili transaction in one sentence.

Baili suddenly realized, yes, this kind of secret treasure is really difficult to trade from an individual unless it belongs to a big force.

Zhou Tieyi did not pretend to be naive, but said in a tentative tone, "If Lord Baili needs to set up the fog at a certain time and place, I can think of a way."

After hearing what Zhou Tieyi said, Baili refused immediately and laughed it off. Of course, he couldn't tell Zhou Tieyi the time and place. His understanding of Zhou Tieyi was limited to the three trade fairs.

So he turned to talking about the Dongzhu, "It's not the secret treasure of Tianji. I don't want to trade the Dongzhu."

Zhou Tieyi sneered in his heart.

Baili knew the location of the small dragon vein and had the Dongzhu, so he most likely had more than one. Even if the number of Dongzhu in the dragon vein's origin was small, there should be at least five or six, not to mention this kind of dragon vein that had never been developed.

If there are repeated things and they are renewable resources, then trading is the norm.

Zhou Tieyi said, "There is nothing in the world that cannot be traded. Moreover, my ginseng fruit contains the dragon seal, which is more or less a benefit to practitioners."

Baili was slightly tempted, but still expressed his doubts, "The dragon seal in your ginseng fruit is generated randomly. It's okay for those big forces, they let their young people eat it and can also cultivate the corresponding path. But for us 'old guys' who have already determined the path, it's very difficult to deal with it."

Zhou Tieyi gritted his teeth and said, "In fact, after so many years of cultivating ginseng fruit, I have also found the corresponding tricks, which can roughly screen out the range of dragon seals. If you are willing to trade Dongzhu, I will provide the corresponding range of dragon seals."

Baili's face lit up with joy, if he could get the Water Dragon Seal, it would be really valuable to him. He thought about it and finally proposed the ginseng fruit of the Gold and Water Dragon Seals as a trade.

Zhou Tieyi said that he had too many ginseng fruits to trade, so he could only trade a portion of the gold and water dragon seals. He would use the large amount of Taixu Huanbi that he had just obtained to join the transaction.

Baili didn't really need the Golden Dragon Seal, so he naturally agreed in a pretentious manner.

Zhou Tieyi smiled and took the bait.

Among this batch of Taixu Fantasy Coins, there are his own carefully crafted "sub-coins". As a person who possesses [Mirage], he already has the ability to forge Taixu Fantasy Coins.

However, collecting and forging [Mirage] also takes time, so he did not do it.

Now there is the Mingyue Mechanism, which can be hung in cities like Mocheng and Jijiancheng. It can collect a large amount of [Mirage] from dreams, and can also be used by Hao Ren to make it.

At the same time, he possessed the authority of [Trading] and was able to forge the Heart-Confusing Coin. So he mixed his own problematic coins with the Taixu Huanhuan Coins and traded them in large quantities. This was the main reason why he purchased and traded so many Taixu Huanhuan Coins!
The value of this is enough for him to spend so much effort on it. Everything else is just a cover-up for this reason, making others think that they can see through his purpose.

There is no transaction without fraud.

As the saying goes, there is no business without fraud.
